This is not my listing. I don’t know this person. But there were people earlier looking for one of these. https://www.ebay.com/itm/155509223443?hash=item2435127013:g:FLcAAOSwUN9j883e&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA8BGxkGdLpoVZHPNdeiRw1imD8hAhHQiNpiu2PQ2G6RGETvF3DPnoNy2qDaBSniMS1ehwSCbR2PJuKSt5RWIKCqOLYyGF%2BNehjk5vA6kDVK%2FCYLoU3wZfAG3yvjgCiJiHaDt39yUPxBT%2BC605Pur32PePVKD%2BC3AxgPtpAfdOqo0g0f9CgXvaMP5bC1U%2Fo6An3Su5aXN6YUkiw99DGiwZZ9CvGMucbG7vssOf5wzZx%2FWbv8BOVypQnq64KPpj0iD2qrzA5dFQOXGRRpbrihA81%2BzXAvQG7MYiCrBmlle5QO6Fnbij%2BQzbqPD1Fq2fVREJMw%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR_jStObyYQ

I live in SOFLA. If you use your turn signal to change lanes the other drivers will make sure they block you out. So....... You can guess the rest.

@betoney I truly like zipping around on it. It's kind of like an old school big block muscle car. Huge torque. Will still keep up with most anything that is not bleeding edge performance, until about 150mph. Then I get scared. The bike doesn't do anything, I just say that's fast enough. 😃 I was looking pretty hard at the X's when they came out but, here in SOFLA they were rare and just too expensive. Plus our Honda dealers had no interest in them. Sad. 🤷‍♀️

Also, not a FJ-09 or Tracer in the Florida Keys. 😎

A "fix" of a non-existing problem?

~1" on streetbikes since 1974. YMMV

👆 THIS I've been riding to the NC - North GA area a couple times a year since 2011. The Dragon is cool and all. But, it can be a madhouse/shitshow on a nice weekend. There are miles and miles of great roads in every direction. A good resource for roads to ride is America Rides Maps

@dazzler24 That's the owner Mike. Calling it a "dive" wouldn't upset him at all. 😎 They really have good food. So it's worth the trip

Beautiful weather here in SOFLA. Why we stay here when summer is hell on earth. https://www.floridabeachbar.com/alabama-jacks

Happy Birthday!!!! 🍰

@olddawg Has the motor been opened up? Same clutches? Or is it all original?

@texscottyd I'm semi-retired so it's much easier for me.

It gets a little tough in the summer. The heat and humidity in SOFLA 🥵

Exactly. 😎

@olddawg How many now?

I basically use it for music. I don't have any friends that use comms. My son has one and comes in several times a year and I go up to see him several times a year. So that's about all the "comms" it will likely see.

Got a Sena 50s Harmon Kardon. 🙂

Yes I did/do. I put almost 50,000 miles on one. In 2011 I bought a 2009 XR1200 as a retirement gift to myself. A very cool bike and a rolling conversation starter. I bought every accessory available for it. Tank bags side cases and tail bag. Over the course of the next 2 years, I upgraded it to my needs. It has RaceTec forks setup to my weight. The HD Showa shocks. DragSpecialties urethane motor mounts. A Thundermax ecm tuned buy Thundermax at Daytiona Bike Week. A Remus exhaust. Also what is known in the XR circles as the "Scotty Mod" I rode it up the Outer Banks the length of BRP and trips to NC and all over Florida. The facts about it. As cool as it is. It's not really comfortable for a guy who was pushing 60 to travel on. Not a problem for my 30 year old son. It carries 3.5 gallons of gas. At 100-120 miles you better be looking. Not a problem here in the east. Out west....... At +550lbs and ~90hp it isn't the fastest thing out there. I loved riding it in the mountains of NC. It makes a ton of torque. You can stay in 3rd gear and roll the throttle on and off. It's a hoot. Now, the reasons it is no longer in my possession. I bought the FJ under the pretense of traveling out west with a close friend and my premier riding buddy. Who has since decided that his traveling by bike days are done. I was riding the XR off and on, but my eldest son was in desperate need of a reliable bike. So I sold it to him for $1.00 with the stipulation that should he ever decides to move on from it I get it back for $1.00 It now has ~70,000 miles on it and it runs fine. It burns a little oil according to my son. 1/4 of a qt over 4,000-5,000 miles. He rode it to Barber Vintage Festival with me a couple weeks ago.

I guess I saw you go by!!!! 😎
