An old friend and I have been trying to get together to ride all season, but schedules haven't lined up. Finally got a bit of a roll in last Sunday! Me on my FJ-09, him on his '02 R1. He's the reason I bought the Yamaha in the first place. He has a ton of bikes, one of them being an FZ-09.
This R1 is a mental case. It's a fully built bike, from the engine to the suspension. Looks very unassuming, but is so much fun to ride for about 30 minutes. Then I'm trashed on any supersport. He actually tours on the thing, and he's older than me. Not sure how he does it!
That said, it was great fun to get out in the backroads and chase some scenery with him.
