    Gone Without a Trace

    X-Files? When I was in Guam, you could walk 25 paces into the jungle (boonies), close your eyes, turn around, and you would have no idea which way to go .. so dense. Plus a Guam Police officer said if you ever wanted to get rid of someone ... just drag them 100 feed into the jungle .. they...

    General Chuck Yeager's x-ray

    I knew a WWII and Korean fighter pilot that flew with Yeager, from flight school on. He said, this is his words, that "Yeager was a mediocre pilot at best, but he was one of the luckiest pilots he had ever seen. He was always in the right place at the right time by blind luck and not by skill."

    Appropriate to counsel other riders how to dress appropriately?

    Well, last month, I decided to go commando, boots, jean, tank top, and half-helmet. Well, that lasted about 4 days then a woman cutting across three lanes of traffic, left to right, to park, hit me. Never again; full gear or don't ride. I don't think the gear would have saved the shoulder...

    Colonoscopy

    Scheduled for follow up one (two years) at end of month. Colon cancer ranks right up there as a killer with the rest of them ... go get one ... they knock you out (Michael Jackson drug) and you won't remember a thing.

    I don't consider myself an "old-fart" yet ... but my age sure does. I guess that's because my father was 54 when I was born, and never really saw "old people" old, until they are in their late 70s and beyond .... And the interwebs are great place to hide in anonymity ....

    This FJR community

    After lurking around this forum, and also belonging to others (I won't mention which one(s)), I really find this one full of information and people answering the posted question instead of the, "are you an idiot, don't you know what he search button is for.." or the typical, "real biker's don't...

    Rush hour, going 70 in the fast lane, bike dies, I don't...

    It doesn't sound like a kill switch if there was no electrical what so ever. Just back from a dealer; sounds like a loose battery ground to me. But that's just my opinion.

    Gonna Test Ride an FJR...

    Nice. I just looked at an '09 with 3K miles on it at a dealer here. I've still got the itch for a brand-spankin' new one though. Will be a few more months.

    I love the color, congrats. One thing, that license plate is HUGE as compared to the tiny MC plates in the States.

    Need help with bad news

    Condolences to your friend. I as you never know what to say. So I usually have done as others have suggested, an being there is usually enough. Then follow up with them, and get them out. The empty house is worse and full of reminders ...
