Are Three Bikes too Many?

Jiggles · September 11th, 2013, 08:39 PM

An inane pessimist with no positive outlook on life would say yes.

But I say **** that ****, three bikes is not enough....

Bring on the fourth

Oh sweet sweet FJR1300. What a sexy piece of machinery. With a big long hard shaft.... drive... and an automatic adjustable windshield, heated gear sockets with a controller on the handlebars and a sexy standard riding position that drops panties.

My panties.

Picked her up for $3400 and she came with a brand new battery and some other goodies. The bike is actually going to be my dads but he asked me to loan him the cash to buy it so technically it is mine, for now.

Back home

KawiKid860 · September 11th, 2013, 08:52 PM

Damn that's a really good buy. Note to self: never buy at the start of the season again.

How's she compare to your 1300?

crazymadbastard · September 11th, 2013, 08:55 PM

No.
I have five cars, getting rid of 2 so I can buy a few more bikes. Much easier to store and cheaper to insure.

Its fantastic. I like a lot of stuff about my bike more but what the FJR has over my beamer is the automatic adjustible windshield, the dial controlled heated clothing sockets, a much more comfortable sitting position and easier access to doing oil changes.

Also it was $6,600 less lmfao

xSean13 · September 11th, 2013, 09:14 PM

I guess you need multiple bikes if you wreck so often.

LNasty · September 11th, 2013, 09:53 PM

My question is, what the hell do you do for a living for you to be loaning your dad money? Isn't it usually the other way around? Nice bike by the way

Crashing bikes and banking off it

He's got a little "breaking bad" side business in that RV in the background.

SMman · September 12th, 2013, 05:13 AM

Great deal! How many miles on the FJR? Nice looking bike and I see it has a mount for a topcase and Tech Spec tank pads. I delivered a Honda ST1300 for my previous boss and enjoyed the ride. I could see owning a bike like that at some point. As for the question "Are three bikes too many?", definitely NOT (I have 4

).

csmith12 · September 12th, 2013, 05:17 AM

Nice Jiggles, I hope your dad enjoys it and you guys get to ride. I remember riding with my dad, good times. My dad picked up a vstar 650 a few weeks ago. His first bike in 22yrs, god help him. hahahahahahha

Happy riding!

Get him out on the track on the 250!! He'll see how a little bike is faster than his big bike.

might be a good idea to have him take the MSF if it's been that long. A track day might be too much too soon.

verboten1 · September 12th, 2013, 07:37 AM

you need at least 1 for every day of the week.

I only have weekdays covered with 5 at home, but I'm getting there!

csmith12 · September 12th, 2013, 07:39 AM

Lol, him on track... not gunna happen and the MSF is very unlikely too. I will be lucky to get him fully geared up.

He has been down before, so I am not gunna tell him anything that he don't already know about that. The one thing he should have going for him is; from 40+ years of hardcore fishing experience, I expect his right hand to have the finest of control and senses. Although, that level of sense may be a negative thing.

98,000 miles and it runs great

Alex · September 12th, 2013, 09:31 AM

Good deal.

Jiggles · September 12th, 2013, 10:32 AM

And it only has 5 gears which is kinda weird but hell I usually skip 5th on my Beemer so why not

Alex · September 12th, 2013, 10:47 AM

What year is it?

tooblekain · September 12th, 2013, 10:48 AM

For an motorcycle enthusiast, I say 3 is the minimum. However, my thinking is they shouldn't be 3 of the same type (ie sportbike).

So far I have two...my commuter/weekend getaway/canyon---2007 Triumph Bonneville
Race/Track bike: 2008 Ninja 250
Want next: dirtbike or supermoto

"Are three bikes to many?"

Not if you can ride them all at once, it's an advanced technique.

JohnnyBravo · September 13th, 2013, 07:14 AM

No such thing as to many bikes

thurt88 · October 9th, 2013, 11:22 PM

Nothing wrong with it. I wouldn't do it myself cos of ins, maint, and garage space. I guess if I had the cash and room, I'd do it. Would love to get one of those new yami triples

Dragone · October 13th, 2013, 08:43 AM

The adjustable windscreen is a great feature. Was checking those out along with the concours. Decided on keeping the KZ1000 for abit longer.

Congrats on the new ride.

Zrex · November 15th, 2013, 09:00 AM

Never too many I say

rasta · November 15th, 2013, 11:04 AM

alex.s · November 15th, 2013, 11:44 AM

is jiggles still living off of the money from that poor teenager he raped in court?

you buy motorcycles just so you can crash into inattentive teenage girls, don't you jigs.

alex.s · November 21st, 2013, 03:25 PM

hey jigs, i'm up to 4 bikes.. catch up sucka

Fly'in Ninja · November 22nd, 2013, 05:34 PM
