It’s been a while.. how’s everyone doing?

Post by smitty141 »

After several years off the bike I’m Jonesing for another. First time on this site in forever. Hope my old friends are doing okay, and still on 2 wheels.

Smitty for Hooterville..

Holy Crap! Better get em quick, who knows how many more they will make. :)

Great to hear from you. Are you getting an FJR, a Gixxer, or a jetpack?

Hope you find one that you want. From what people are saying, used bikes are expensive...however, I have never known an FJR that wasn't dirt cheap after a few years.

Things are good in my life relatively. Still kickin; still bitchin about working; not traveling enough.

If I see Smitty riding an FJR, it'll be the first time ever. If he gets that '13 he's lusting after, I'd like to ride out there to SE MO or Arky or SE Ohio or EOM and get my '13 pictured next to his.

I know of a '13 for sale but he'd have to go to igloomafuktuk to get it.

Smitty,

I just saw a 2004 on Facebook. 3800 in your neck of the woods. Potosi Mo. Guy says he is a motivated seller.


Good to see you back!
I often have found myself when I was not looking, nor did that discovery take place where I thought it would!

Send him a pm! He might be about to pull the trigger elsewhere. Potosi is just spitting distance!

Nice find, but I don't think that one will be clean enough for Queen Smitty.
