This happened in Athens not to long ago. There's still some remains lol.

This was me with the quickshifter on the MT but not the FJR.

Dad's been talking about getting the tune for his...

Yeah I’ve ran into this issue, found some great prices until I find out it’s a non tour they added a trunk to. Also no electronic suspension or reverse.

Well I guess I’ll keep my lack of skill, wadded up less bikes that way.

This! Yes people find what their bike can do or their abilities to maneuver bikes ON THE TRACK, but guess what the street has way too many variables to use most of those abilities. My MT was like super glued to the track and I could throttle the hell out of corner exit. Guess what, on the street, I was fighting traction, stepping out using throttle modulation. Same goes for braking. I had a blast on the track but it’s a total different animal, and I don’t consider myself better than others because of a track day.

I didn’t know you couldn’t learn to be comfortable with handling your bike without taking it to the track.

Jim we all know Rotella is a best 😂 not much to discuss.

So what you’re saying is track guys don’t stoop down to street guy dangers. In my opinion, it’s a completely different skill set. Memorizing a track and getting every possible time gain is a skill, but running a good clip all day comfortably without riding over your head is also a great skill.

Basic synopsis, track guys have more “knowledge & skill” but can‘t explain why some street guys have no problem running the same or faster pace than them on a group ride through twisties. Then the street guys explain the track is fun but not railing curvy roads all day fun. It’s a vicious circle.😂

Haha yeah Tim tell me again where u get those 5 quart Rotella jugs.

It must be winter...Sad part is some people are actually arguing about oil 😂

A thread about a cruiser turns into MotoGP talk 🤣

They were being distributed by Schuberth right?

Smoky Mountains would be great but after a short stint on living in Columbus, I quickly realized how great I had it in SEO. I’m glad to be back down here. Great roads, nothing like the smokies but good enough to keep me happy, and I have ridden every month for 4 years straight so the winter isn’t too terrible down here.

I have always wished to have bikes back at some point but if I could find my old F4i I’d love to have it back, being my first bike. I didn’t have the skill set I have now to ride it to it’s potential and I think it would have been fun on the gap.

Have fun! I’ll be starting a 7 day stint at work tomorrow.

If the torque curve is anywhere near the new wing, it’s a torque monster. I actually had the front end come up last time I rode dad’s wing.

Congrats on the new bike! The cross plane is addicting for sure.

@2talltim can’t give me crap about being a highlighter anymore 😂

Took the FJR out for a nice 285 mile ride of SEO twisties. No highways just curves and curves and more curves. I’ve been really busy so it was nice to just shut off the world and go riding.

Still here, and I just moved back to SEO, so riding is gonna pick back up soon. Been hella busy, but I’m not gonna stop riding.

Sounds like you had a great trip! I've always enjoyed riding in West Virginia, less traffic usually.

So I kinda fell off the wagon. I was down to 207, got in a relationship, moved to a different city, got a shift work job, and boom I'm 20 pounds heavier. I'm now starting back at it again. This time I'm gonna break into the sub 200 range. That's my goal. I'm 227 today, I'd like to get there by end of the year.

The real sad part is people play both sides of the pity coin. They get butt hurt if they're not invited but then do the same thing and think theres no issue with it...
