Great day on the FJ

Have owned the FJ for 3-months now and finally it feels like "my" bike. Took a female friend out on the FJ on Sunday. Warm weather, bright sun, light breeze, little traffic. Had a fantastic day, the FJ pulls with two-up like she's not even there. Rode the smoothest I ever have, I could tell she trusted me and she quickly relaxed and enjoyed the ride and the scenery. She'd tap my shoulder and point at something of interest in the distance. A nice lunch then home. Made getting back into bikes after 10 years worth it and more. Good for the soul.
