fjr1ab glad you had a great ride, any time you get on a bike you should always have a great ride . Spesking for my self , I also had a great ride. Left Woodland aroun 7am and headed for bodega bay. took one of my routes through berryessa and headed for Fort Ross, got there toured the Fort and decided to go to Fort Bragg on hwy 1 forst time on a bike. What a great road to ride. Traffic not to bad. Only one incicent with a cager he was riding up on the bak of three harley riders with their wifesor g.f.. The guy got with in about 2 feet of the rear harley he did this for about mile. All I could see was that jeep liberty runnig over the bike and harming two innocent people. Since I was following him I took the liberty to gfet around him put some distance between the harley riders and me than he backed off for a few seconds than he tried to tailgate me. That was a mistake I has distance between the bikes I turnes around on my while still going and pointed to the tail of my bike and shook my hand that was a no no . He backed off completely and stayed back several car length. I was ready for combat if need be . He finally turned into one of the parks and everyting turned ok . Than i was able to twist the throttle and ride twisties with ease and noworries from that person. When I left Fort Bragg and headed down hwy so back to Woodland it wa hoter than heck. The more I ride the FJR the easier it gets .What a great touring bike . STAY SAFE AND HAVE FUN WEEKEND RIDER
