It took a while but I'm here

Post by Bug Dr »

Picked up a slightly used 2024 a few weeks ago. I'm really liking the bike and having fun riding twisty roads in the Ozarks.

Congrats!

You have one of the best vintages of FJRs* and live in the place to enjoy it!

* Having had a few '04 FJRs and putting over 430k miles on them I might be just a tad biased. ;)

Welcome sir (using that term generically, of course). Glad you made it.

Bug Doctor and I go way back. I told him the truth about you degenerates and yet, here he is. Miracles never stop.

Stay thirsty, my friends...

Pants said I'd fit in here. Not sure what that says about you degenerates. :)

Well, the last word in your sentence seems to eerily describe a great number of the population. How'd you do that?

Welcome, Mike. I'm new to this site, myself. Lots of familiar names and a few new ones.
Thanks again for making that salvage run for me. It will give me closure on that bike.
