Ran across this slide the other day. 
No date on the slide but it looks like you're holding a route sheet...probably the Oregon 250 or 500, mid nineties??

Probably Oregon 250
I don't remember whether it was the 250 or the 500, but I think you're right. That would have been my one group ride with a bunch of WetLeather folks (outside of a Gather). If I remember correctly, y'all let me lead since I was the slowest guy in the bunch. Except for one particular loooong straight where I was a little too conservative :-)
Mid-90's would be about right. The FJ was replaced by my first Ducati in 1997 (that r/w/b leather jacket was replaced by a 'Stitch at the same time).
I miss that bike. I really liked the lighter, narrower, newer bikes that came after it, but I've never had another bike that did so much travelling as well as that old FJ100.
Speaking of your old FJ
Didn't you sell it to someone in Albany? I remember seeing it around town once in a while in the late '90s.
Well... either it was your old bike, or there was another FJ1100 running around with a single BMW bag mounted
The old FJ
Yup, it went to Albany. I've not seen it since. When I was bike shopping this summer I ran across a couple of '84 FJ1100s and thought about whether I should get another one. I don't think my wrists could handle the riding position anymore.
Only one bag? It had two when I sold it :-)
