Ride Reports

Here's a listing of ride reports I've bothered to put together. Hopefully, they'll shed a little light on what it's like to ride around and perhaps inspire you to get out and ride!

Spring is Springing!

 Finally, the weather gods are granting us some warmer weather, which means it's time to saddle up and hit the road! Of course, I've already been out there for a few months, but seems like all the hankie riders are getting into the action now, which always leads to interesting times on the road. Anyway, if you ride, be safe out there...cellphone drivers seem to be getting worse every season!

Burn Garage

My modern motorcycle collection! Okay, well, now the livery is just down to one...the FJR, but my ole FZ6 will be remembered here, as it was under my stewardship. It is now enjoying a new life with a new owner not too far away from here. Perhaps one day, it'll rejoin the FJR on a day ride sometime.

Check out my current bike pages:

My Yamaha FJR1300A

This section is just starting to be setup as I only just acquired my "new to me" 2007 Yamaha FJR1300A a few days ago. I've had the bike out on a few runs so far, but with the cold weather and needing to work, things will appear slowly for a bit.

Backstory

Introducing A New Stablemate!

My 2007 FJR1300A!With the need to sell my FZ6 before getting an FJR, I figured my wife's request to go have a look at the FJR down at Ron Ayers in Greenville, NC last Friday was simply so she could see what I was constantly yammering about over the past few months. I was wrong... 

Selling My Baby

My 2004 FZ6 - Galaxy BlueWell, my pursuit of a "new to me" FJR1300A, without financing it, is now underway. The mission: sell as many "toys" and other stuff to save up enough money to get into the $5-6k range that a used Gen II FJR starts at. This means that my baby (2004 FZ6) is now up on Craigslist, awaiting a new owner! I've already sold my telescopes and some other stuff, so the path to Feejerism is starting to take shape!

FZ6 Trip - North Carolina

North Carolina 2005

So I decided it was time for a trip up to North Carolina to see my friend of 5 years. Was I going to drive? Of course not; it was time for a motorcycle road trip! On top of that, I decided to extend my trip into a tour of the Blue Ridge Parkway and the mountains and hills thereabouts. What follows is a recollection of what happened on the trip, along with a few photos. I was still single at the time, so there was no 2up riding.

Long Trip

There's nothing better than a sunny, warm day and nothing to do but ride! This past Saturday, I made a nice long run around the coastal plains of North Carolina. Absolutely beautiful weather, some great roads, and nearly no traffic made for a good time! I'd rather run the twisties in the mountains, but this route was better than nothing.
