Julie Gets a New Motorcycle for Her Birthday! - July 10th, 2009

After more than a month of test rides, negotiations and figuring out how we could make it work, on July 10th, 2009 Julie and I officially became the oweners of the FJR! We're looking forward to taking it on our future rides for years to come. 

Stay tuned for more updates!


Our 'new' bike, a 2007 Yamaha FJR 1300 Sport Tourer.


This was the mileage when we became the legal owners of the bike.  At this point we'd already put close to a thousand miles on it!

The sad thing though is we had to trade the Nomad.  We had it for so long and rode it so much that it really felt like part of the family, and it was difficult to let it go.  But we didn't have any choice really and we both knew that even if we could have worked it out so that we could have kept it, we probably wouldn't ride it very much. 

However, it all worked out because when word got out that we had traded the bike a customer and friend decided that he and his wife just had to have it.  These folks are first class people that love motorcycles and riding as much as Julie and I do so I knew the Nomad was going to a good home.  I was as tickled they got the bike as they were to get it!

37,247 enjoyable and trouble free miles during the five years we owned it.
