Well, my Texas-Tech-savvy son thinks it's maroon.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but your son is a maroon.

I have seen your bike a time or two. I thought about stopping to chat but didn't want to impose on your time. I will give a shout out next time.

I've got you beat (unfortunately). 130 miles round trip on my 2005 FJR. It's rewarding me with 43 - 45 mpgs. I love it, too!
I am desperately needing new tires right now! I need a ride in/ride out solution.

Oh paleeze....everyone knows the '05 Galaxy Blue is out of this world and just so happens to have the best mapping and performance stats in FJR land.
Hats off to you commuters, I eat rear tires up when doing city miles but love the storage and nimble nature of the beast.

If Jasen thinks maroon is brown can he know the diff between amber and red traffic lights ? Maybe just jaded by silver as they all are.

I saw a fellow feejer this morning about 6:15 on 35W northbound just before the 183/121 split in FW. I waved hello from the hammer lane. Anyone in this thread?

Wrong side of the metromess to be me.

I hit 67 in Alvarado and head east to 35, so not me. I did see an fjr headed north on 67 about 3:30 or 4 yesterday afternoon.

**Janet** · 09-22-2012, 07:51 AM

I rode Wednesday and Thursday to work. On 287 then 35e.
