You could send them here.  I'll ride on them during the winter and send them back in March.

Rode it to work. Rode it to lunch. Rode it to run errands. Going to ride home too.

I turned it around in the garage so it was facing the door.  Gotta be ready for the Turkey Pro National this weekend.  Assuming the snow and ice clear out enough for me to get across the state.

I damned near dumped the FJR in the garage putting it up on the center stand and I think I pulled something in my elbow too.

That new (lighter) Triumph Explorer is looking better all the time.  :redface:

I thought the Triumph was heavier than a FJR.

My Google-fu shows a wet weight difference of about +70 for the FJR. At any rate, my point was that I'm leaning towards a smaller, lighter machine.

My only point was that the Explorer is the fat pig of the mall cruiser adventure bike market.

Ran a cool little fuse box and cleaned up the mess of wiring to all my doo hickies on the bike. Much cleaner though I still need to connect the switched power but I am lazy and it is cold in the garage.

I changed the park plugs and the air filter.  Next weekend, coolant flush.
