Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
Getting vehicles dirty is what Marines do best.
But you know they better be spotless before turning them in when you are done with them. I'm sure EM will have the ole FJR ready for turn in soon.

Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
I don't do FB, but hope you had a great ride. Appears that today and tomorrow might be OK in Winterpeg, but temperatures appear to crash later in the week. I hope to get out for a few hours today and expect to keep things going for another 4-6 weeks. Mostly on the F700GS - tires need replacing on the FJR and I haven't gotten round to it...CollingsBob wrote: ↑Sat Oct 21, 2023 10:03 am I went for a ride, about 5.5 hrs..probably the last ride of the year.

Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
I rode it today. Again.
It was a special day - for too many reasons to list here - but a special route navigated with a solid wingman at a pace that was just right for the day. On NC80, just south of the BRP, while Vader was living the good life north of 5500 RPM cranked over in a right hander - the odometer rolled 100,000 miles. I know this is nothing special for the FJR or for many riders out there. In my current life sitation, it was a milestone I never thought possible.

Doing it is good enough. Doing it in style is even better.
