Look at the new farkkle!
[ Tuesday - July 29, 2014 ]
I'm sitting in my office typing away on my keyboard when I get a
text message on my honkin' Note 2. What the heck is
this? Why it looks like my riding buddy finally pulled the
trigger and decided upon a Yamaha instead of a Beemer. The man
couldn't make up his mind between the R1200RT and the FJR. In
the end with the combination of the R12R having suspension issues,
BMW not selling the model until the end of the year due to the
suspension problem, and after finally test riding the FJR, he
settles for the FJR and is an absolute happy camper.
Regardless of the fact the FJR is 600+ lbs, it doesn't feel so when
it's moving. I'm happy for him as finally found his sweet spot
and no longer has to deal with fatigued the neck, back, and
wrist. Now he also finally understands the joy of having a
torque machine. It might not have top end, but it can pull out
of a corner like a tractor plowing a field. Through the almost
20 years of riding, this is only his second new bike. Unlike
me... the '13 12GS is my 6th.
Looks like it's smiling.
