Traded the Road Star in on a used (4300m) 2008 FJR1300 to be ready for a long road trip that year.

That trip report

Number 34. After winning the trip to Indy MotoGP with the Monster, and because the FJR is such a great road bike, I decided I had to get the last of the dry clutch, exhaust under seat Ducati Superbikes. I decided to make it a semi-Troy Bayliss replica

Number 35. After getting to 23,000 miles (19,000 which I did) on the FJR, decided to move up from an 08 to a 13. I liked my former BMW RT so got another one

Number 36. Was able to squeeze a 3rd bike in the garage along with my R1200RT and son's M796. Wanted a pure fun bike for back roads and occasional track days. Monsters are all torque and the most fun for normal back roads. Loved my prior M1100S, very happy to have another one.



This one has body work signed by Ben Spies, Cal Crutchlow,(nose piece) Colin Edwards, and his wife Alyssia (tail piece).

Number 37. R1200RT broke down on me (18,000 miles), and my brother's had two breakdowns, so jumped on the chance to do an even trade for this 0 mile leftover 2012 VFR1200F
