Hell yeah, we grows 'em out back where them revenuers can't see 'em from the road. But now they're using choppers and a few folks have had visits from the law. Gonna have to look into building one o' them indoor grow rooms I red 'bout on the interweb.

Congrats on the new Feejer!
Yes, while the bike is heavy, it carries its weight very well at speed. Be sure to feed it a lot of miles.
+1 on FJRmgm's comments; head over to FJRForum.com and FJRiders.com...they'll both have everything you ever wanted to know about the FJR.
