We dropped our GTR off at the dealer this afternoon for them to put in their showroom on a sale-or-return basis. We were both rather sad to see it go and I don't think either of us is entirely convinced about our decision but it's done now. This year will see our first non-GTR Iron Butt rallies.

Boo..... :(
Kevin, sorry to se you go. Hopefully you will pop in from time to time to catch up and see what going on. Take care. Steve
You make it sound like he's already gone! I have my monies on Kevin buying a 2013 model.
<g>. When I sold our first FJR I let all sorts of things go with it, including a personalised number plate, as we weren't going to buy another one. We're now on our fourth.
It wouldn't surprise me in the least to see us back on a GTR at some point but we need to use the FJR for at least the next year to justify the not inconsiderable amount of money we, er, I have spent getting it farkled and rally-ready.
I have every intention of sticking around as I like this forum and the people on it (and it gives me an opportunity to bore you some more with our ride write-ups!). UKBusas is a similar type of forum and a fair few of the inmates no longer have Busas. I suspect we'll end up joining that minority as Lyn prefers our other bikes and time pressures will prevent me from racing it but I'll stay on the forum. I think good forums grow beyond their one-marque origins and become a community.

That's one of the reasons my next bike will again be a GTR. I've just invested too much time (and money, but don't tell the wife), and its suits my needs perfectly. Although my mate is always pushing me to get a ST1300, hell will probably freeze over before that happens. So I can see why you want to get the value out of the FJR.

absolutely spot on there Kevin... I for one hope that you 'stay around' even on an FJR ;) ;D
Hooray! 8)
