wvvstar Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Hello fellow FJ-09 owners. I picked up my (2015) FJ-09 in late Fall this year. So late I really did not get the chance to ride it much. I typically commute to work on my bike (weather permitting) but this year I gave that up once the deer start moving a lot and the commute was all pre-dawn. Just not worth the risk. Been riding motorcycles forever and my enthusiasm and enjoyment has never diminished. I traded my Yamaha Bolt for the FJ at my local Yamaha shop...great bunch of guys whom I've done business with (probably WAY TOO MUCH) for years. Currently have 4 bikes in the garage: the FJ-09, a 2009 Roadstar Midnight Special, a 1997 YZ250 2-stroke and a 2001 Honda XR400. I'm not a constant follower on forums but do like them for sharing information and knowledge. Not sure yet what all this forum offers as I am new today and haven't looked around a lot yet, but I have enjoyed the Roadstar forum for years for selling or buying accessories, parts, etc. that either I have tired of, or others have tired of. I've already learned about the SW-Motech skid plate use from the XSR900...ordered one today so a big thank you to the forum for that! Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinboaqtcapt Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Welcome, New here also. Just casting about for my next ride. the OH-NINE is one that caught my eye. I had a most enjoyable ride through WV on US 50 on my way home from DC / Gettysburg. It truly is a beautiful state. I stopped at an ice cream shop and spent two hours talking with the owner and the counter help. Great country, Great people. It is on my ride list to return sometime.

Premium Member DavidS Posted January 18, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted January 18, 2017 Welcome aboard, and congrats on the new bike. Lot's of great information here, just poke around..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvvstar Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 Thanks to all for the welcome comments. You are right...WV does offer a LOT of great riding. Kind of spoiled here...5 mins from the house and I can be riding the twisties. Yep it sounds like Cool Springs Park at the bottom of Cheat Mountain. Sad thing about that...the place burned down several years ago and they rebuilt the place (as seen in the above picture)...just doesn't have the "mountain" charm the place had before. BTW...if anyone needing tires for the FJ-09 I ordered a set of Dunlop Roadsmart II (with the varying compound) from Chaparral Racing yesterday for a fantastic price. $186 shipped for both front and rear. Cheaper than MSRP for the rear alone. Bring on Spring! I miss riding! Ron Oh by the way, I'm in Parkersburg on the western part of the state on the Ohio River...Grafton about 80 miles or more east on Rt 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
