I agree ... I view my FXR 150 as being a learning ground in how to ride & maintain a large capacity motorcycle, but at a much cheaper rate. Once Mr Wallet is okay, I'll make the jump and know how to do stuff properly (at least I hope so). Also, if I make a simple mistake with the FXR now i.e. not maintaining chain properly, it's doesn't cost as much i.e. $63 o-ring chain.
90% of the time spent writing this post was spent thinking of something witty to say. It may have been wasted.
