I have always had bird feeders going in the back yard.

Something I have noticed since I sold my pirate bike last year and started riding my FJR...

The pictures are all from my yard where I shot all those birdies. The fantasy part is just a short circuit someplace between my ears that usually starts by shutting down good sense, then common sense.

Nice feeder shots... meal worms for the bluebirds?
Suet and freeze dried meal worms. The bluebirds sit in the trees and wait for us to come out with the worms. They will now fly down to the feeders just inches away as we put out the worms. They also sit under the suet and wait for the woodpeckers to spill crumbles and then they pick it out of the air as it falls to them. It's funny to see them all on the deck looking up waiting for manna from heaven.

'05 Bass Bote Blue. As many as 6-7 bluebirds will pack into the meal worm feeder at one time. We now have 2 feeders to support ~25 bluebirds. Mr. & Mrs. in the basket. In the summer we have 100% natural bug suppressants.

This is what happens when bluebirds forget to look up and check for hawks:

The debris from the bluebird disaster was left under a thistle seed feeder, that's what all black flecks are.

I am calling the prevention of cruelty to worms society
Trust me, those freeze dried meal worms didn't feel a thing when they went to the birds.

I just came in from filling all the empty feeders; say did you know it's snowing here in New England? I'm ~6' tall and the snow is between my knees and waste waist deep. It's supposed to continue to snow at this rate for at least the rest of the day and into tonight. "Its a light fluffy snow" my a$$, it's a mountain of snow. My snow blower should be afraid, very afraid.

 
Don't think I've ever seen a Bluebird. Just Blue Jays (the kind that fly, not the kind that play baseball).

 
I hate to be "that guy" but your selection for the FJR technically belongs to my beloved Hayabusa. You could select any other raptor as a suitable match for the Feej but the peregrine falcon is what the GSX1300R was named for.

I fully agree that either bike would tear the guts out of the ST!

 
......... but the peregrine falcon is what the GSX1300R was named for.
<snipped>

"GSX1300R" shares neither phonetics or letters with "falcon". Does share an "r" with peregrine. But "FJR" shares the R and an F. FJR wins, score = 2 to 1.
