    2019 Covered Bridges of New Hampshire Tour - Oct 5th

    Well alrighty then, Covered Bridges ride picture dump. The timing of this ride is a balance between not quite peak color and avoiding heavy peak color traffic. In the picture below, behind the church you can see the stalls for horses and wagons where the church goers could 'park'.  The...

    2019 Covered Bridges of New Hampshire Tour - Oct 5th

    Thanks to Fred W for the hard work to scout out and map the '19 Bridges ride.  Too bad he was unable to make his own ride, just because he has a good excuse doesn't mean that we will let him have a pass on this ;) After a very cold start it turned out to be a fine sunny day and a nice ride. ...

    2019 Covered Bridges of New Hampshire Tour - Oct 5th

    We will be targeting a 9:00 ETA.  Plenty of time for Messy Eggs, chattering (pun intended), gear up and go.  Traditionally we leave Fiddleheads and go ~ 8 miles for a gas fill-up then begin the ride.  It's around 60 miles from our hovel to breakfast so the top up will get us through the day and...

    2019 Covered Bridges of New Hampshire Tour - Oct 5th

    Best wishes for  good outcome Fred.  Hopefully they can treat the infection and avoid any OR intervention. It's been a rough couple of years for us NERDS.  We just were given the Dr.'s (mostly) ok for Helen's broken foot to go on the Bridges ride.

    2019 Covered Bridges of New Hampshire Tour - Oct 5th

    Right now pillion and I still plan to go to Fiddleheads for breakfast and be ready for KSU @ 10:00.  This won't be the first frosty Covered Bridges ride for most of this group.

    Hostage of Photobucket

    My PhotoFuckit workaround. See Pre Edit II As I've had time I've added this to the top of my 'How To' posts. When the snow flies I may add this to Ride Reports of Days Past.

    Spider question 2004

    I think you are barking up the wrong bush(ing). lele is looking for the bushing that is on the left side of the parts diagram, the red bushing which lele needs is shown on the lever that the red screw goes through.

    RTE?

    Unfortunately, the only place my FJR went this morning was to work. It sucks when work is a place that I actually have to go to in person, unlike Fred. When I rode past my car I noticed that it was seriously frosted over, hope everyone stays warm until the sun does some work on the daytime temps.

    Gen 3 service manuel

    I scanned the schematic from my FSM into a PDF which is a much easier format to view and follow circuits. The schematic for my '15 is much more complex than my '04 and the '16 schematic which I have seen is even more complex than the '15. My old eyes have a hard time dealing with these high...

    AimExpo - Police crash bars for FJR

    The bags should be OK. The rear bag reflector is actually another sacrificial rash protector. Your 'slider' is really just a tip-over guard. The bottom of the stator cover can hit the ground as well as the forward point of the fairing by the headlights and the mirrors. On a simple tip-over...

    AimExpo - Police crash bars for FJR

    Crash bars aren't about the rider, they are about the bike. There are tip-over guards which somewhat limit damage in a 0 mph uh-ho, the driveway drop type damage. Is a driveway drop a crash? Crash bars improve your chance to ride home after a moving uh-ho. Nothing can protect against...

    Need tools to remove front wheel ( 2004 )

    Good to see George back, even if it is only to beg for help. The real bitc# is to get the reflectors on the fork legs out of the way :lol: Oops, snap. Done.

    Irritant content: Deer. At least he didn't hit the deer that crossed the road in front of him. Not a hair touched. Just think if he had hit the deer instead....

    Utterly nutty, with a dash of nutmeg...

    Ducati has released its most powerful motorcycle ever, in a package that's so light it would need to add ballast to race in World Superbike. The extraordinary 1299 Superleggera packs 215 horses, weighs just 344 lb....at just US$80,000. A new Slide Control system make this bike one of the safest...
