FJR Pierre - Long Term Road Test FJR 1300
Global Rider
test (too bad our superficial rags consider a 1500 km ride a long term
test - hell, that's a day ride!).
They listed all parts and service during the span of the test and
disassembled the motor and transmission to take measurements to see how they
compared to "new", "in tolerance" and "out of tolerance" specifications.
Interested in the results? It did quite well.
All the best,
Alex

12:00...
We had a great ride, my wife and I, putting in about 400kms. Weather was
co-operating and the roads were fairly deserted.

Mike,
I have to tell you that it was a real pleasure meeting up with yourself and
your wife yesterday in Gan. As it turns out,after chatting with that other
fellow with the bike at Tim's, I did follow your advice and take 10 up to
Westport from Kingston, and was not disappointed with the scenery on that
beautiful drive. I then took 36 North, which was equally as challenging
(with all those curves - very careful with the gravel on the asphalt!), but
it just seemed to end and split up into 8 and 12 at one point whereupon I
ambled back to Perth. I got in just as it was getting dark, and was cooling
down a little. I think my map must be outdated, I missed a turn, or both.
I have lived in Ottawa all my life, save for university, and never even knew
roads like that existed! Would love to get together again with you two
sometime if you are riding again...
Again, a real pleasure to meet you and your wife.
All the best,
Bruce

years ago... Both work but you need the c in algonquinc... Did I forget
to add that in my "reply to" address? I'll have to check. I post from a
number of different computers.
It was good to meet you too, Bruce. We'll have to go for another ride
before too long with you. Mind you, you'll have to diconnect a couple of
your cylinders so we can keep up!

It's written in German but the Google auto translation does
a rudimentary translation.
