I know you did, Norm, but if it's any consolation to you I think some good came from that experience. Honestly I'm glad he was with you guys to learn from. After gaining his composure, he got back on the bike and not only rode back to the Rosemont hotel, but 1500 miles back to Albuquerque. It took a year or so, but we found some new plastics the same color and put the FJR back together. it looked pretty darn close to perfect. Actually sold it not too long ago for $3k. Not bad for a first gen fjr with a few scrapes and 60k on the clock.

This photo was at the I-94 bridge across the Missouri River between Bismarck and Mandan, North Dakota. A nice sunny summer day.
Could've been better, but was taken long ago not for this entry. Was just enjoying being out and riding!

Happy Friday, GSR! Let's review our photos and vote...
Redman's, (Dave's), theme this week was a little different, but fun.
I think I got them all, but let us know if anything is amiss.
Some nice photos this week. Don't forget to vote.

Baatfam gets my vote this week!
Seems everyone took the bridge route.
Bob took the Green of Summer route. Nice!
Edit: Roger took the Old Wooden Structure route.
Edit again: Ron took the Group of Hooligans route.
I think Trevor could be thrown into the Group of Hooligans too!Last edited by storm 64; 01-31-2025, 08:50 AM.My Motorcycles:

Voting for storm 64 "bike on a bridge" this wk., His title says "bike on a bridge", though the bridge seems a little inconspicuous, heck I still can't see it.1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw. ZL600 Eliminator, 1999 Bandit 1200S, 2005 Bandit 1200S, 2000 Kaw. ZRX 1100Comment

Not that it matters, but if anybody wants to know, that is Justin RedmanSon on left, Cowboy Scott in back/center behind the bikes, and Rich82GS750TZ on the right.
Last year at BrownCounty rally, ride Friday morning.
Bean Blossum bridge I think, or somewhere up there NE of Bloomington.
I just now noticed that maybe Scot has camera up and looking to frame a pic (center of my pic a bit overexposed in trying to get more of the bridge internals better exposed).
. Ha! Scott's pic that maybe he took, could have been an entry this week.Last edited by Redman; 01-31-2025, 08:23 PM.http://webpages.charter.net/ddvrnr/GS850_1100_Emblems.jpg

Oh, shoot! I like Roger Burques photo, looking inline with the wood structure of the chute. I s'pose when he was framing the shot he did move to be inline with the chute.
Honarable mention for KiwiAlpha. Once I got over the shock of appearing to be on wrong side of road, I did enjoy the image of the contours/shapes of the bridge structure. ANd to think that caught that shot at the right moment - at that speed.
As far as riding at/thru and showing and featuring details of the old wooden beam structure, I'll vote for RichGS750TZ.
And.... I will gladly relenguish my title of "Mr Selfie" to Mr dgates. ha!Last edited by Redman; 01-31-2025, 08:35 PM.http://webpages.charter.net/ddvrnr/GS850_1100_Emblems.jpg

I feel like you've probably earned that title and I don't think I can fill those shoes. But we'll see what pics I continue post, maybe I'll give you a run for your money!
I'm voting for 1978GS750E because the first thing I saw was the McDonald's sign and now I want a Big Mac...
