Fishtexx Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Hello all, thanks for letting me in! I picked up my new to me 2019 Tracer 900 GT yesterday. 250 wonderful miles to get her home. Weather was perfect and thoroughly enjoyed my first ride on this awesome machine. Can't wait for my son to come home from Korea in July, he will then be stationed at Ft Hood and our adventure travels together will begin. Oh, and I beg to differ with some on here...The black one's are the fastest! lol 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Welcome. I guess you just missed the Bluebonnets on your ride home. Looks like YOU will have to do the traveling to your son, as the Hill Country has a lot better riding roads than you do in Cypress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member texscottyd Posted May 2, 2022 Supporting Member Share Posted May 2, 2022 Welcome @Fishtexx! I covered about 250 miles yesterday myself, out past Cypress on the northwest side... Fayetteville, Round Top, Burton, Chappell Hill, etc... These FJ/Tracers are the perfect bike for that type of day trip exploring. Any chance you were around Steven F. Austin State Park (near San Felipe) late morning? I passed a black Tracer GT as I was turning off to take the back road over to Sealy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishtexx Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 Thanks for the warm welcome guys! No texscottyd, that was not me by SFA SP. I rolled in to the driveway at about 6pm Saturday. Brian, my folks live by Lake Somerville, get to see the bluebonnets every year. They are in their mid/late 80's, so that is a very common run for me. Now instead of burning $70+ fuel every trip in my F-350, I can do it for less than $20 on the bike and have a lot more fun!. I averaged 58.6 mpg on my trip coming home, very pleased! That cold Miller light was awesome as I just stood there for a little while admiring my sweet new ride! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishtexx Posted May 22, 2022 Author Share Posted May 22, 2022 Hi JP3RKS, My picture files are too big and sight will not let me post them. I do not know how to shrink them to post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP3RKS Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Bummer! I was looking forward to seeing another black beauty! Of course they're the fastest!

Not sure if this helps, but: Compress pictures to reduce file size Select the picture or pictures you need to reduce. Under Picture Tools on the Format tab, select Compress Pictures from the Adjust group. ... Select the compression and resolution options and then select OK.
