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.

Re: It took a while but I'm here
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...

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

Re: It took a while but I'm here
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.
