That's a rather expensive bullet. They are nice though.

Walked by it in shame at the low miles, and the dirt and saw dust all over it.

Sounds to me like riding in stop-and-go would be considered physical therapy.

WHO WAS IT? 'Fess up, ya'll. There aren't that many FJRs in the Big ATL -- hell, there aren't many FJRs anywhere except the PNW and central Cali.

Yesterday I considered riding to work, but it was cold and misty and I planned on having a few beers after work so it stayed home. Wouldn't have been fun. Took me 3 hours to get to work, 2 hours of that was spent over a short five mile stretch. Turns out the northern and western side of the metroplex was a little colder than at my house and we had ice forming on the roads causing all sorts of bad accidents. Glad I left the bike at home.

Side note: I did see a hero of a cruiser rider while stuck in traffic. I don't suppose he was having much fun though in standstill traffic at 31F but still, tip my hat to him.

I walked past my bikes today and averted my eyes to avoid the looks of disgust emanating from within their alloy dark souls. Then I called my favorite motorcycle gear emporium and ordered a pair of Klim Latitude pants..
