You have an unusual riding style. Most people ride parallel to the rode. :whistle: :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Beautiful FJR, where did you ride?

That is one pristine 2005! Congrats for keeping it that beautiful for 17 years - you should be very proud of it. The scenery is awesome too, but there is something wrong with the picture: there is not a single spec of dust, or a splattered bug on front of the machine. That is so unusual, or, did you wash it an put make-up in it for the photo-op? -- Just kidding, of course! Ride safe and enjoy your outings for many more years to come!

Personally I like the dent in that gas tank. Honestly, it needs more.

My real question is, what the heck is going on down here?

There is a ride here in the Hill County called the Twisted Sisters hwy 337, 336, and 335 which has lots of twists and elevation changes. This was on 337 between Vanderpool and Medina as I was coming back from that ride.

My shifter (and I presume most others) have black rubber on it, is the brown like a leather overwrap or just brown rubber?

I absolutely loved my '05, that blue shines on a sunny day, and the bike looks good with or without cases.
@Drgibson Hope you'll enjoy your '05 as much as I did mine (y) ... keep posting pictures

Cerulean blue is a light silver blue, came on the AE's only. Looks more silver than blue.

Not sure if it is different up north, but the silver that came on the 2004 FJR and the AE in '06 and I believe in '07 was 'Cerulean Silver', or Bluish Silver in the Yamaha parts diagram.
