kltk1 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 A very rare 55-degree day here in NJ and will definitely get a good ride in today. Who else is lucky enough to be able to get a ride in today? This is likely the first long day I'll have on the FJ-09 and I'm looking forward to it. A lot will be learned today. Happy New Year and ride safe, everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member rustyshackles Posted January 1, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted January 1, 2019 Not today. I’ll be driving with the family 2/3 of the distance from Phoenix to home near Dallas. Enjoy the ride those that get out! kltk1 what part of NJ? I grew up in Camden County. IBA Member #59800 3 Nations Brewing Mug Club #100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member betoney Posted January 1, 2019 Supporting Member Share Posted January 1, 2019 It's going to be a cold one but at least it will be dry, so I'm going to take advantage of heated grips and heated vest and get some miles in. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member texscottyd Posted January 1, 2019 Supporting Member Share Posted January 1, 2019 I’m on my way out the door now... it’s actually going to be an almost perfect day to ride. Other than the ‘Unhealthy Air Quality’ part, that is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlin01 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Yup been out most of the morning 10 degrees C (50F) and the roads are sooooo quiet, ideal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBB Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Managed to get a 140 mile ride in today, some rain and only 7 celcius but a chance to ride some great Welsh roads and take some photos locally.

Supporting Member texscottyd Posted January 1, 2019 Supporting Member Share Posted January 1, 2019 So far, so good... 100 miles down, about the same to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member keithu Posted January 1, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted January 1, 2019 Not today! I had a nice ride out to the Oregon coast yesterday to meet up with a couple other forum members. Today I need to deal with a tree that fell down on the neighbor's fence, and some plumbing issues at my son's house. Yay chores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be driving with the family 2/3 of the distance from Phoenix to home near Dallas. I'm a Texas native myself, living in the Phoenix area (Hook 'em). Ironically, the surrounding mountains here have some snow and sub freezing temps right now, meaning I'll need to come up with some "errands" and putter around the city's grid today if I want to ride.

kltk1 Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 Just got home. Had a good day. 125 miles. Started out at 55 then dropped to 42 by the time I got home. This is a great bike and I learned a lot today. Glad to see so many had the opportunity to get some 2019 riding in... There were a ton of bikes out here in North NJ and the Bear Mountain area of NY. Bowlin - I'm jealous of you guys that you get that beautiful blue Tracer 900. Keeping the fingers crossed they bring it to the states next year.

Yes, it's a lovely colour. let's hope Yamaha see sense and release it in the U.S. - Just seen that Schuberth make the C4 in a matching blue.....

Guest Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I got out for a couple of hours today in southern Massachusetts. It was 55 when I left and 47 when I got back. I was bored so I installed aftermarket pegs when I got back and then went out for another 1/2 hour to try them out. Happy New Year! I did see others out riding.

koth442 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 It was way too cold. Got up to freezing, plus it's wet. But even if the weather was great, I'm too hungover. '15 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member duhg Posted January 1, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted January 1, 2019 A friend and I rode to Marietta, OH for lunch. Chilly but good enough for a 200+ mile long ride on New Year's Day. I saw no other motorcycles all day. https://ridemsta.com/oh-tmr/ Riding makes me happy.

Premium Member sirepair Posted January 2, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted January 2, 2019 I got out for about an hour/60 miles today. Mid 40s temps and lots of wet spots on the secondary roads. As duhg, I didn't see any other bikes. Starting off the year right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
