I keep thinking of the goon a couple months ago who went to look at that FJR and it looked great in the ad, owner sounded encouraging, and showed up to find long neglected brakes and some other big safety thing. Was that Remy Marathe?

And yeah the fitness aspect of a fly n ride of more than a day's riding. This dude has no idea what your rear end and hips feel like after even 4 or 5 hours in the saddle if you're not used to it. On an unfamiliar bike. Plus the mental drain.

Yep that was me, and my next test ride was 2.5 hours to ride a ZRX that died on me like 2 miles into the test ride due to carb & electrical issues that I limped back to the dealership while the owner followed me in his car, stalling at every light. Tying back to the rex post last page, despite being a standard position the pegs were more aggressive than I was used to, so none of the above tell me flying to a mystery bike and riding it home is a good idea unless you've got lots of time and contingency plans ready to go.

I still wouldn't trust myself not to try it if my brain gets taken over again, bike fever is real.
