Was scratching my head over "ACM", finally realized it's the LeMay museum. Pretty short field trip for me - all of 25 miles from my house In 1973 I was eight years old - didn't learn to ride till about four years later, on a '65 Honda.

Oh good, was worried you meant one of these:

I was gonna gripe about the music until I realized they were all 4T, anyway. So I just turned the volume off and watched. Guess I'm only good for vintage MX anymore.

Concur on the wet leaves. You left it outside overnight?

140 in a 35 zone. But it was KPH, not MPH.

Good grief, something else to look out for while on the road. Too true.

Agreed. Seems the only thing worse than tipping over with spectators is tipping over without spectators. To address this conundrum, I've decided not to drop my bike unless in front of a school for the blind or similar institution.

You dropped the bike on your thumb?! I've never dropped a bike at a standstill before, but it's occurred to me that this one might be the first. Lots of weight, and much of it on top.

Hey, what happened? Are we "Never-ending", "Pointless", or "Recurring"? /-:

Good point about some newer helmets not having D-rings. The effect this would have on locking up helmets with the conventional frame lock hadn't even dawned on me. My new LS2 Rapid does indeed have a ratchet. And I just the other day ordered a couple LS2 Strobe modulars that likely are the...

Free lock from the gov't is mighty tempting - that's what I call putting my tax dollars to work for me. This might be good:https://www.ebay.com/itm/Wire-Combination-Bicycle-Lock/292787676519?hash=item442b816567:g:eNAAAOSweTlbxkXr Primary advantage being it's a combination lock: one less key...

I'd read that FF helmets wouldn't squeeze into the FJR's bags. Tried a few just now (AGV Top-Vent, LS2 Rapid, and Sparx S-07) and they all fit. So that's great for when I've got a saddlebag empty and available, but less great if they're full. And so far (just got the bike) I've left the top...

Am I getting this right? No factory-equipped helmet lock on FJRs? I can't find one, and the owner's manual is mute on the topic. I rummaged around on the site and ran across a thread that referenced part #26H-21308-00-00, apparently an add-on deal. Is this what we use (at $40 a pop)? No way...
