bobinsdakota Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Even though I've been to the Sturgis SD rally numerous times over the years, this one was different. My son and I just got back from a 1250 mile trip to the rally....me on my new FJ-09 and he was on his Stryker. We rode through numerous canyons, twisties, switch backs, and even had to dodge a big ass Buffalo It was great to finally go a long ride with my boy, you never know how many chances in life there are to do things like that. The FJ-09 performed flawless and I am very pleased with it. The only things I did before we left are (got the ideas from this forum) $15 seat pad from Amazon, Overgrip from Scheels for the throttle grip, front frame sliders from Shogun. My @ss wasn't tired or sore the whole trip and I have the stock seat, my right hand never fell asleep once, & the sliders worked awesome as footrests when I needed to stretch. My son test rode a new Tenere at the Yamaha demo display and will be getting one very soon. BTW I saw at least 5 other FJ-09's at the rally, maybe one of the owners are on this forum. I've had numerous bikes in my 55 years, this one is definitely the funnest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
