    strange exhaust smell

    Regarding off-season nap time: When putting my feej into storage, I place some rodent repellant near and around the air intake. Never had a mouse crawl down into the muffler, (have to be a real acrobatic and feeble-minded mouse!), but if you have any concerns about rodentia setting up house in...

    Last Ride of the Year

    I just did my Last Ride of The Year. I rode the feej up onto the lift table

    Which fender extender?

    I'd bet they are all pretty similar. At least, to my eye they look alike. The consensus seems to be that they all come with inadequate and/or ugly mounting methods, so many who purchase one or the other uses a good adhesive. I suspect the manufacturers supply those methods to avoid complaints...

    Which fender extender?

    I'm mildly surprised there isn't a 30 minute video somewhere detailing exhaustively with this highly technical procedure. But there is this

    Do lawyers have a heart ?

    An elderly patient needed a heart transplant and discussed his options with his doctor. The doctor said, "We have three possible donors. The first donor is a young, healthy athlete who died in an automobile accident. The second donor is a middle-aged businessman who never drank or smoked and who...

    What do I look for in a (Canadian) 2007 FJR1300 ABS

    read the bin o facts.. Make sure any and all factory recalls have been done. I think there's a list of them here somewhere... The bike is due for a valve clearance check, so if that has not been done, do it. Other than that, pretty much the standard stuff for any bike with a few miles...

    Trip meter reset button doesn't work

    +1 on the contact cleaner. Also you can gently use a hair dryer to make sure there's no lingering moisture. BTW, WD-40 is overrated, and overused. There are some very good anti-corrosion agents available, (I'm a fan of ACF-50), and silicone spray lubricants that won't damage plastic or...

    Cruising RPMs?

    I never exceed the posted speed.

    The Black and White TV! How did we survive?

    I suspect that first, negative experience with TV influenced both my aversion to hockey, (sorry fellow Canucks, but that's just how it is), and to TV itself. I spent much of my early youth in a remote lumber camp, (where my mother was cook), did school by correspondence, infrequently listened...

    The Black and White TV! How did we survive?

    I remember them good old days, before nostalgia

    The Black and White TV! How did we survive?

    Oo, don't get me started! But I will say the first time I even saw a tv was at my aunt's house. Hockey Night in Canada was on, and I got nauseated trying to watch, as the cameraman panned erratically trying to follow the puck. I hate hockey to this day

    **** or Brits: The Irish Take on the Weather, aye!

    Anything sounds funny in an Irish accent. BTW, it was fookin' raining like that here all fookin' day. Even the fookin' dog didn't want to go out.

    Ain't superstitious

    Moose not only do not run away; they are just as likely to attack, especially the bulls in rut. They won't back down even from oncoming trains!

    Congrats to AJ's Hometown Girl Holly Holm...

    Relaxed muscles react much faster than tense ones, and helps to add 'snap' when your fist clenches just prior to impact, and relaxes immediately following. It's easier and faster to parry with open hand, (not block, which is force against force), and allows the fighter more opportunity to...

    Congrats to AJ's Hometown Girl Holly Holm...

    OK, I have to agree mma, like most combat sports, can be brutal and barbaric. Unlike say, hockey, soccer or football where no one ever does anything physically violent against another person. Oh, wait.

    Cougar Sighting

    Hello Kitty! When I was @ 12 or so, I was stalked by one as I walked home alone along an unpaved rural road in BC's Shuswap region. My hair, (I had hair then!), stood up, and I stopped, turned and shone my flashlight right in the cat's face as it crouched in among the trees at roadside. It...

    Congrats to AJ's Hometown Girl Holly Holm...

    I like both of them! It would be so cool and relaxing to hang out with a woman who could beat the crap out of pretty much anyone who attacked me. Do either of them ride?

    Congrats to AJ's Hometown Girl Holly Holm...

    A little overconfidence, perhaps? She should have paid more attention to Holly's fight record. Holly won that fight even before stepping into the ring. And it was simply a beautiful knockout. Classic roundhouse kick to the side of the jaw, from what I could see.
