Post by afm7 »

Hello people!
West central Florida rider that transitioned from a 1050 Tiger to the FJR and haven't looked back. 2 weeks old, 1100 miles and I've already started the farkle process.

Welcome to the riders forum!
Searching for roads paved with Asphalt, unless I am riding the mighty DR650 bushpig.

Thanks folks!

Florida's not so bad if you factor out the love bugs and tourists/blue hairs. I do a fair amount of LD riding also so the FJR seems to be an excellent fit for both slab and back roads.
I'm originally from NC and make regular rides back up there.
