I am the proud and happy owner of a new 2014 FJR 1300 ES. I've had a 2008 and a 2012. Only have under 100km (60m) on it (picked it up late yesterday) but man - is this thing a ROCKET or what?

Sweet bike....but your timing sucks.....you picked it up just in time for our monsoon season......my Trophy has been sitting in the carport mopping coz I wont let it play out in the rain.
Always ask why.

Re: New 2014 FJR 1300 ES in Vancouver, BC, Canada
LOL Yeah but A) it was a decent deal on a bike that is hard to find in this area B) I honestly needed it for my mental health and C) I don't mind our monsoon season. There will always be one or two times a week I can get out for a couple of hours. I lived in Connecticut and didn't put my 2008 FJR up for the winter. So I can tolerate a "few" raindrops.ceemes wrote: Sweet bike....but your timing sucks.....you picked it up just in time for our monsoon season......my Trophy has been sitting in the carport mopping coz I wont let it play out in the rain.

Another week left on my insurance, then I'll get the truck on the road... Monsoons be damned...

LOL Naw. I'm generally a "flower sniffer" when I ride with others. I'm only a hooligan when I'm by myself.blues2cruise wrote: With that new bike of yours, you'll have to give me a head start.
