    Hey LEOs

    That's what the Magnum police edition is for...

    Old Man Winter

    To be honest, it's been pretty nice in this next of the woods (southern DE) for the past 2 months. I've got no complaints. But weather for me today is snow, then sleet, then back to snow - nothing like a mix that guaranteed to snap power lines...

    Hey LEOs

    We have five on order for our department as testers - should be in any time. I've not seen one up close, but my feeling is "they're going to be small", but might be good on the interstate. . Of course, I'm making that same argument about getting FJR's instead of Harley's but no one is buying...

    Has anybody else checked out this site...

    They're very excitable. I think I have seen a negative reviews on their site before, but I can't think of any just now. Some of the ones on the body armor in particular I think were negative. A really good site tho - lots and lots and lots of info on all sorts of things.

    Another Feejer on the TeeVee

    So, that's a limited audience, but if you have DirecTv and a Tivo, check out the Showcases, there's a little 7-minute bit about the Harley Davidson Love Ride and MagRack (which I think is a new Channel). During the bit, about 1/2 way they talk about the ride getting underway, and the host says...

    Headlight Modulator Negative?

    +1 I keep a printed copy of the section of USC (or is it CFR?) that allows the modulators in with my reg and insurance cards, just in case.

    helmets

    I have a Vega Summit XPV, which I purchased based on the WebBikeWorld review. (Some folks don't seem to like that site, but I'm a big fan.) I like it well enough, but I will probably go back to a standard full-face for my next helmet - I just don't like it as well - I don't seem to feel as...

    Headlight Modulator Negative?

    What, are you kidding, that's my favorite part of having the modulators in the first place.. ;) I have noticed the 'moving over' affect over and over again. More room for me to ride. And don't be 'pissed off' at other bikers, plain old cagers are angry enough at us as it is.

    'Stitch Roadcrafter

    I was gonna go for orange, then get a white reflective vest and a white half-helmet. But then I realized I'd look like this guy...

    Yellow headlights

    WebBikeWorld has an article on yellow headlights for motocycles, and it's generally positive.

    Helmet Locks?

    Full face helmets fit nicely in the saddlebags.. Not helpful if they're full of stuff, but on short "about town" rides I toss mine in there.

    4Q05 HDI

    Victories are nice bikes - I was really, really close to choosing an 8-ball over the FJR. I wanted both, but could only afford one. I'm glad that I ended up with the Feejer, but in certain crowds (i.e. Poker Runs) the 8-ball would fit in better. But, then again, who needs to fit in? ;)...

    This is cool....

    They say in their FAQ that they have been installed on everything from Indians to Metric Sport bikes... So yea, they'd go on the FJR.. wonder how that would sound.

    Safety Lights

    I have modulators on my FJR and run them pretty much all the time, unless I'm in a group, or directly behind someone. People look - within the first week of having them there were a number of times where (driving in town) I could see people who wanted to pull into my path do a "double-take" and...

    Rainproof motorcycle?

    I care not - it looks cool as hell. Now if I only had 40,000 pounds and a way to get it to the US..

    Doh!! Man I don't know how I screwed that up. I should know better.

    Good Eats

    What kind of turf is that? It looks like you cut off a mermaid's ***... (j/k, but that is a huuuge tail.)

    Wrenching on the FJR...

    I'm not any sort of mechanic by any means, and I have a service contract on my FJR, but was stuck doing the 600 mile oil change on my own. (The bike was over due, I had a 500 mile trip the next day and couldn't get in to the dealer for 3 weeks.) Other than having to go to 3 dealers to find...

    Feejer on the TeeVee

    The wife was watching Ground Force on BBC America this AM, the show was something like "Lock Master". I came in near the end, but the owner of the house came home riding two-up on a FJR. And not just any FJR, but the red Virgin Mobile FJR. Pretty cool.
