A few years ago, the Colorado State Patrol did several well defined tests on the deer whistles. The results: there was no idication that the deer ever heard the deer whistles, and close calls and deer hits were the same with and without the whistles. They recommended that you don't waste your...

Good to see you again, Warchild! I rarely see the sights you do because I take all back roads and avoid highways like the plague. Then, again, it takes me forever to get anywhere. Cheers, Ron

My ophthalmologist said that the rapid loss in near vision starts around 40-44 and levels off at around 60. That's what happened to me. I started with 1.5 and my vision rapidly went downhill until I hit about 59 and plateaued at 2.5. As they are rated as safety glasses, I also can use them at...

Great to meet you at NAFO! Glad you are home safe and with no velocity awards. Ron

Happy to help. Ron

When you hit the ripe old age of 40, give or take 21 years in my case, and no longer can see the street names on your GPS or need someone to hold a printed page about 25 ft away so you can read it, then it is time for reading glasses. :( I use a clear shield on my helmet and wear a pair of...

The thanks to the leaders of the NAFO can not be overstated! I was amazed at the preparations and the work at the rally done by the organizers. With risk of leaving out names, I'll mention just a few. I am convinced that someone glued Ignacio's palms to his laptop and buttocks to his seat! He...

Hey, one of my golf clubs is on the roof of the clubhouse at Applewood Golf Club. Don't ask how it got there B) . Let's just say that it was the last time I ever played golf. Ron

I can tell you based on what I've seen: A Subaru Outback is less squishable than a moose. It was a BIG moose laying along the side of the road on the way to Rocky Mountain National Park. You also don't want to argue with a moose face to face. It's face is much bigger, and compared to mine...

Also, don't permit your FJR to mate with a mule deer or moose. It makes for an uncomfortable encounter. Moose can be found in the areas approaching Rocky Mountain National Park, in North Park coming south from Wyoming. Ron

I resemble that remark! Ron For us He-men, it is not pink, it is Salmon! Ron

Fossil Links in Golden is a very interesting place to golf. While traversing the course, you WILL see dinosaur fossils in the rocks! Their restaurant also is very good. Ron

Just a note about the ride to Mt. Evans: It is well worth the trip! However, after passing the entrance station, there are some switchbacks that are close to 180 degrees, most without guard rails. The turns can be VERY sharp, and the road is barely wide enough for one car in each direction. If a...

Glad to hear that. :D See you in Golden. Ron

Is that "knows" in the Biblical sense? Ron

Hey, this NAFO meeting is happening soon! I better get going. My plan: open the garage door, put on my gear, turn on the ignition, get on the bike, go down to the end of my street and make a left, make another left in 1 block, and ride 3 blocks to the Hotel. Turn off the ignition. ***** about...

Thanks to you all, or all y'all if you are from the South, the task is completed. I changed both bulbs. SouthernCruizer's explanation made it easy. It was just the information I was seeking. I hope to see everyone at the July NAFO gathering in Golden, CO. This morning, I walked from my house...

I have two bulbs on hand, but they are different brands. One is a Hella and one is a Sylvania. Would there be any problem with putting the two different manufacturers bulbs in? By the way, my low beams both work but the high beam on the left side does not. Ron

Thank you all for the help. Now I feel comfortable to 'git 'er done.' After many years of experience of using the "if it doesn't fit or come out, push or pull harder" method, and suffering the consequences, I'm afraid that I am a little timid about forcing something that seems stuck. So I am a...

Thanks, MadMike2. I googled 'replace FJR 1300 headlight bulb' and found nothing useful. The handbook and service manual just say 'take it out and put the new one in.' They weren't helpful at all. Most were on putting in modulators or whether the Phillips or other bulbs were good or bad. Your...
