I sold my FJ09 to my Grandson as an upgrade from his V-Star. He's had it for about 3 months now and is getting comfortable. Yesterday, he and his ex-girlfriend (now wife... ) went for a long ride from their home in Ellsworth to West Quoddy Light which is right on the border with Canada. About 100 miles each way.

His main comment: "I shouldn't be allowed to ride this bike behind slow people..." He has discovered the "kick it down a couple of gears and nail it" school of passing...

Your young padawan has passed the final test, and now officially awarded the title of 'Maine-iac'!
