Default FJR Owner

Hi all! My name is Shawn King and I've been riding for a little over 4 years (and 50,000 miles). I previously owned an '05 Yamaha Royal Star Tour Deluxe and, after a minor accident, the insurance company said, "Why don't you go buy yourself a new bike?"

The nice guys at Danbury (CT) Powersports were kind enough to let me take a brand new FJR off their hands last March. For only a few (hundred) dollars, they even gave me a new Arai helmet, too.

I picked it up on a Wednesday afternoon and have been walking around with a big stupid grin on my face ever since. Can't wait for this weather to lift so I can get back on it! I've posted some pics on Flickr if anyone wants to see the bike.

I look forward to learning more about my bike from you guys and in learning more on how to ride a sport tourer - it's a *completely* different ride than on my big fat cruiser.
