Hi all. I've ridden off and on (mostly off) for 20 years, but bought a 2004 FJR this summer and rode it every chance I got. Love it. I'm in MN, so had the winter away from riding and am pining for clear roads. Enjoying the atmosphere here already, and am hoping to learn and contribute.
Pic is from Lake Superior last year.

Welcome, I had a lot of good miles on my 04 before Bambi. Just to make you feel at home...
A few days pass. Now Ole only has a few hours left to live. Lying in bed, he smells something. Cake. Chocolate cake, his favorite! He crawls out of bed and drags himself to the kitchen.
When Lena walks in, there is Ole, sitting at the kitchen table, eating cake. She hollers at him, “Ole! What are you doing in here? You’re sick! You should be in bed! You shouldn’t be out here eating cake! That’s for the funeral!”

I see Bug's got out of the old person's home...and someone lent him a computer. He sometimes forgets that he's posted something and just keeps on posting it over and over...he's a pretty good rider too...if he can remember which bike is his.
