Knowledge Gained

Post by FJRPittsburgh »

I learned something today that I forgot about all Winter long. My FJR is really fun to ride! I went out for a little 50 mile run this morning on some beautiful 2 lane country roads. The riding season has begun for me..... and not a moment too soon. I think I'm going to be in a good mood the rest of the day. If any of you haven't ridden yet due to the nasty, cold, salty Winter, you will benefit from my knowledge gained today. You're welcome.

Lucky you, Jeff! I could have gone for a ride the last few days, but today can't even get out of the driveway......

You really didn't have to post that Jeff and your pal RF isn't helping either!!

The fever has set in for me bad. Not able to ride has me looking at FJR stuff a lot and my wallet has taken a few hits. My bride isn't going to be happy when the credit card statement shows up. I'm going to tell her everything I bought were maintenance items.........if I stop posting know the conversation didn't go well for me.

Hey Dean! Your wife should know by now that you only purchase quality items that end up being quite the investment. Hope to ride with you soon!

You know how to really drive them mad?

Tell them that it's 77F and sunny and...well, I just don't feel like riding today, so I'll let it sit in the garage instead.

I feel your pain Dean. It just got up into the low 40's here in Pittsburgh. I'm going out for a ride in about an hour. Cold with morning snow tomorrow and not getting out of the 30's again. I definitely won't be riding tomorrow. I sure we have some nice dry weather for SEOR the first week of May.
