Kind of cool seeing all the FJR's and C14's doing all of the filming. Where do I sign up for that job?

When I was a kid my dream was to compete in the TDF. Now I just want to ride my FJR ...............at the TDF of course.

Not much to see now that Lance is not in the race. Maybe I'll tune in as the race gets going and a "leader" shows up .

Actually, its much better now that Lance and his gang are not there.

A new leader every day and a breakaway actually succeeded.

Felt so sorry for that French guy who was out on a three-man breakaway ALL DAY and then got caught within 50 yards of the finish line.

And I did notice the FJRs last night.

They're all Gen 1 bikes.

They're the only ones that go slow enough

.

I would also point out that it was a Gen 1 that 'won' the slow contest at SE Ohio Ramble.
