    Pathfinder's 100,000 (Cert.) Miles in 1 Year Attempt

    Jeez, man. You should discuss this with a professional therapist. Ride safely, brother. How's that Traxxion shock working out?

    Are we witnessing the end of motorcycling?

    Easy, there, big boy ... some of us HAVE TO WORK, and I would have loved a New England ride. I visited Four Corners Park in Madawaska, ME in a convertible, and the ride was a glorious one: sunshine, cool breeze, a beer in Portland, and two moose sightings! As for H-D riders: some are posers...

    Raise the FJR tail - How to?

    ... and who cares about it being accurate? PS: Cool family portrait, Abercrombie!

    JMCB complete with everything you need

    JMCB for those without a clue ... like me.

    Are we witnessing the end of motorcycling?

    I don't think we're witnessing the end of motorcycling. We are definitely witnessing the downward slide for big bikes (Harleys, Wings, FJRs) as the demand for different types of two-wheel transport begins to rise: electric motorcycles, motorized bicycles, and a wider use of scooters and mopeds...

    FJR Mileage Milestones

    ^^^ While I certainly believe you, where's the picture? I mean, show us what you've got, brother!

    Congressional Gold Medal of Honor

    RIP, Bobby, and thanks for your service, even when you knew your life was in danger every minute. Good vibes beaming to you and your wife.

    Something for airplane geeks

    Fabulous read and equally fab photos! Damn fine job and a real ADVENTURE. Who else wants to fly a plane that's been on the ground, disassembled, for years?

    Traded my FJR

    When people post "couldn't figure it out", they really mean "I'm not going to try very hard". How to post photos on the FJRForum Photo assist, although this motorbike is silver and orange. And now, I've just become an enabler. <edited photo link to show GT with bags.>

    Oil

    Whatever's on sale. (I can't believe this Forum has yet ANOTHER oil thread.)

    I Need New Boots

    Frankly, I'd feel compelled to chat up any lady wearing the Bombshell Go-Go suit. Even if she had a unicorn helmet sticker.

    Police model FJR spotted at Daytona Bike Week

    Wel, well, well! All you Florida boys better keep your eyes peeled for Smokies on FJRs! And let us know if you see a police FJR. Might be worth an RTE: Come one, come all to the FJR Cop Bike RTE! Meet us in <insert city here> to see a police version of the FJR, eat smoked mullets, and...

    Underwater Traction Control

    I will guess the rear tire slipped sideways due to the combination of slime and current. Glad you ... powered ... through it successfully!

    I Need New Boots

    Icon 1000 Elsinores are pretty.

    Deer Strikes by State

    No ill intent towards you, sapest, in any of my comments. Just pointing out weird **** about statistics. By the way, I found several sources that put the Hawaiian deer population between 8,000 and 10,000. Almost all of Hawaii's deer are on the island of Lanai - the only island where you can...

    Deer Strikes by State

    ^^^^ As an engineer who deals with probabilities (odds), I clearly understand your post -- which is why I was stunned that the probability of a deer strike within the District of Columbia is 1 in 713. That means, of the 521,000 drivers in DC (source), about 730 will experience a deer strike...

    Police model FJR spotted at Daytona Bike Week

    Off = fast as lightning. On = faster. Probably. Handle Code 1 or Handle Code 3 as I remember from the 1-Adam-Twelve TV shows. Dammit. If their 'Smuggler trunk' equivalent has any real storage capacity, this could become the focus of my daydreaming activities. Does anyone know if this is...

    Towns named Atlanta

    Today, I realized that Team Strange has a 'State of Confusion' touring rally with seven towns named Atlanta as bonus locations. Link here, last page. Guess who's going to score some big points this summer? If you have never done a Team Strange rally, you're missing out on some big fun!
