Hello all!
I didn't know this site existed until I saw a reference to it on a different FJR site. I think I am now a member of four FJR forums. Yay!

Welcome, welcome, welcome!
No need to worry about posting something here, that may have been posted before. Much more relaxed atmosphere here.
Enjoy!

Good thing you clarified that, I was about to call you a liar after seeing your profile said you've been a member since Wed Nov 02, 2016 8:36 am.
Welcome to the forum. If you can tell a tall story or two you'll fit right in with these folks.

Re: RE: Re: New forum member
I searched twice for "who is the forum jackass" and it just kept redirecting to my profile page. I think the search function is broken. Probably should just let the new guy ask any tire and oil questions he wants.RacinRay wrote:As a new member we ask that you read (this) and (this). Sign (here). Initial (this) and (this).

Re: New forum member
Thanks for the warm welcome. I already feel more relaxed here.
I think I will be visiting this forum on a regular basis.
Some condensed history:
I started riding when I was 16 on a BSA 441 Victor. A bike for masochists. Had a bunch more bikes, took a break from riding when my kids were growing up, then got back into it by restoring an old 1981 XJ650. From there it was a 2000 Concours, a 2004 FJR, then this one. I probably ride about 6K miles a year. Even during my break I would borrow a bike from a buddy and ride around for a weekend. Once motorcycling gets into you, it's hard to leave it.

Re: New forum member
Back when I was a teen, my buddy had a 441 Victor..... I'll agree with the masochist comment. It didn't stay too long in the stable. He graduated to a 1958 Norton 600, Dunstallized and fibreglass to be a cafe racer. 98 mph top speed but the first one getting there..... I eventually owned that bike.

Rayzer,
It took a while for me to get accustomed to the shifter and rear brake swap when I got my first Yamaha. (RD200)
