I say we hang him in the public square. Who's with me?
Several point :
My contribution is not about winning (we're already winner and there is nothing to win anyway), it is about chatting about ecomodding bikes with a different angle.

I have no problem with your bike or you in the team (is it really a team ?), actually, I am interested in ecomodding my bike but I am a very lame hypermiller : I always find a very valid reason to road race my bike.

I have been throught several approach of riding bikes so far (and I am not set on my current approach) but the line was always : have fun

I think it is all about what we use the bike for.

As stated in an other post, your FJR is very good at what it is designed for : Gran Turismo.
And a Gran turismo much more fuel efficient than with pretty much any car of the same performance.

Honestly, I wouldn't buy one but then I have only a 12 mile commute.

Anyway, riding a FJR like its stolen, you're either very brave or very stupid ...
