    The FJR Bird Strike Poll

    Grouse. Confirmed by co-rider following. We both saw two of them shooting across the road, for me they disappeared beneath the front fairing. Following rider saw two go in, and one come out, along with a cloud of feathers. Like 'barb' said, "it hit me".

    0.2hp On The Erie Canal

    Made it! 400.6 miles in 7 days. Ate and drank whatever I wanted and must have balanced my calorie intake pretty well only gained 1 lb.! Great trip, friendly folks, good eats and cycling conditions.

    0.2hp On The Erie Canal

    So, I'm planning to bicycle the Erie Canal in a few weeks. Per Google a trained athlete can generate 0.3hp for 7 hours, thus the title. I figure I'm not a trained athlete but this isn't my first bicycle tour either, so 0.2hp seems reasonable! Anyway, the wife and I plan to do some camping and...

    BRP fall ride

    Thanks for that. Every time I tried to get some BRP riding in this season it got rained out. Still some riding weather left, but not sure my work and house schedule will allow it.

    Headlight Modulator

    After a particularly close call with a left turner trying to cut across my lane a few years ago, I'm talking I watched that bumper pass only inches away from by left leg and saddle bags; I started running the Comagination modulator. I don't run it all of the time; and absolutely believe it has...

    1978 Harley Police Special - Maryland

    It is a cool bike. I've actually never ridden it for a few reasons. I have long legs and the bars whack my knees, combined with the suicide shift, and Dad's custom paint job; I decided I better not risk it! :)

    How do you lift a bike for maintenance?

    I run a nylon web strap between the frame and engine. That gap above the foot brake lever just behind the crank and up to a chain-fall. Then crank away. I'm lucky enough to have an I-beam in my garage.

    Can "tallish" people ride an FJR comfortably?

    I'm Scottie build, 6'6" 36" inseam. When riding aggressive my knee padding will rub a bit on the fearing. Not enough to stress the mounting, but I do have some clear film there to prevent scratching.
