    Musings of an aging FJR rider

    You make some good points, Harleystar. It is rather expensive. Without precipitating a statistical debate, I would challenge the level of danger associated with flying. Consider the following: General Aviation Statistics Only three out of every 1000 people in the US are pilots...

    Musings of an aging FJR rider

    Sounds to me as if you need a new challenge. If frailties are getting you down, remove the activity that causes it. Try something else that doesn't tax you physical capabilities. As an example, ever thought of learning to fly an airplane?

    Does this count as a Drop Club?

    We (the members in good standing) are very reluctant to admit new members into the Drop Club. Absent a clear and concise discourse of personal stupidity, applications for admission are generally dismissed without prejudice. True members of the Drop Club guard their exclusivity with greater zeal...

    FJR or RT, Used Bike Prices

    I would use the same analytical process employed when selecting a bride; close your eyes, raise your head, and command your future to the Almighty.

    If you're not 70, your a runny nosed kid.

    MP3 Player

    I currently have an ipod, 2GB, that I use in conjunction (sync) with iTunes on my computer. Is there anything that would prevent me from buying and using a Sony MP3 player and will the sync function work the same way? Thanks

    Locking the Forks (For Security)

    I was in Sturgis a few years back where some Harley poser put one of those locks on his bike. The next morning, he forgot he put it on. Made a hell of a racket and tore the bejeezus out of the front forks.

    Super Bowl XLV

    I thought the packer defensive line did an outstanding job. I can only remember one play where the Steelers moved the ball between the tackles and that was the touchdown run. The only real yards they gained on the ground was when the middle was plugged and the running back bounced outside only...

    What's in your airbox?

    I'd stay away from those small pellets that are supposed to kill mice. Eventually they do, however the mice will build up a stash where you don't want them. Get the larger baits that come in blocks/cubes. They will nibble on the bait but it is too big to take it anywhere. And yes, moth balls are...

    Why Beer is Better Than Women

    That would only work if served up by a witch. Unless,of course, you like your beer warm.

    The New Chevy VOLT

    There may be one or two Yoopers willing to spend $40,000 for a new VOLT to get to the post office in town. My question is, does anyone know how are they heated? It gets a little cold up here once in a while.
