Shin's FXR has been a solid workhorse for him. It's been all over Japan and currently resides with him in Tokyo. Here are some photos from a couple of years back.
Not only has it been a solid commuter and all around fun transportation, it's also done some light trail duties with his brother back in his home town.
Up long winding roads, until the snow stops them from going any further. He's really ridden his bike all over the country. Hole shots, burn outs, drag racing, street racing, wheelies, this bike was constantly taken to its limits daily.
One day it really was taken to its limit. After hearing some strange sounds emanating from his engine, he decided to go a slight bit further until he could find a safe spot to pull over.
"There's a trail of oil leading to my bike... with a puddle underneath it!"
"Uh oh. That crack doesn't look good!"
"Fuck. I can see my flywheels." 
"FUCK."
But worry not. Since then, Shin's rebuilt his engine himself (with a little help of some friends) and is currently running tip top and stronger than ever.
Stay tuned for more FXR and Dyna antics!

Did you discover what made it blow?
No good. But possibly the best lookin' FXR thus far...?
Keep 'em comin'.
Nice one Shin, kampai!
I got an FXR from Jersey last year.
I was going to flip it, but it is perfect for London. The sound of the Thunderheader when you go through tunnels. The risers are just high enough so I don't have to worry about wing mirrors.
Nice one Knucklehead Steve. You created a monster.
