Sadly sold my 06 FJR in 2021. Fun bike. Minimal maint req. Used to do 4-500 mile day trips into arkansas and mo. Did a couple of iron butt trips, UT, CO, TN, WV. Too many crazies out there.
I have one of the Hobo Fright motorcycle dollies like below that I could get to you for about half the price of a new one. They work great, you just ride up on it and you can turn the bike around or locate it in the garage however you need it. I sold my bikes a while back and just don't need this anymore.

def got dibs, but hey if he's not interested i am! that would be very handy.
v98roadie refers to the original Yamaha Roadstar 98 cu.in. 48 degree V Twin.
I owned one and rode it hard for several years.
Man I loved that bike. It was fun customizing it back then because there was very little aftermarket for the Roadstar.
I got to work with some creative people to build a true one off custom bike. Custom seat, beach bars, custom saddle bags and lowered.
Like a lot of people I had too many close calls. Took it to Seahorn in Shawnee and he sold it on consignment. I’ve not seen it since.
You can’t beat BMW for quality and comfort! Enjoy!

currently own a few, 07 ultra classic, 05 road glide, 94 dyna, custom shovelhead, 86 heritage softail, 04 custom built chopper, custom 67 bonneville, 68 triumph dirt tracker, cafe blue 65 xs 650, xs custom chopper.. and a few others, and more in pieces. All that to say, don't rob me, i stay broke. The ultra and the dyna are the only 2 that see street time, just don't trust Tulsa roads or drivers.
Congrats on being able to get back to riding. I've had motorcycles my whole life since I was about 10yrs old. After 47 yrs of two wheels I dont want to know what it would be like without them.
Last big bike was a 07 CVO Roadking, too many dumbasses on the freeway paying way more attention to their phones than driving..
Missing the 2 wheel riding and with gas going the way it is I figured I'd just get something to run errands on the back roads. Wanted old school enough to make it easy to work on if needed, carbureted and CDI ignition on this I picked up a couple months back. Anyone know if CDI will withstand an EMP? LOL

Since I offered it to @Buddhaman first, I'll give him a chance to respond. Otherwise, you are next in line if he isn't interested.
Currently have two - both 2016s - a Dyna Low Rider S, and a Sportster Roadster. Have kicked around the idea of selling or trading the Dyna, but I'll not let the Sportie go. Yes, I'm way too damned tall for it (and nearly every other bike), but it is too fun to ride for me to ever get rid of it. Have had 3 Suzukis before the Harleys. All three great bikes.
About 10 years ago I missed on an R1200R BMW, and that's been the one that got away. Man I wished I'd have snagged it.

Triumph has my notice, I found a used 900 Scrambler I can get for $3k. Tempted. The Bonneville or a Triumph America might work for me
