If you set them up there already with no intention to ride it before then, you need to have your FJRiders Card suspended. Come on man?? Unless you are leaving in a day or two and taking the scenic route through Yellowstone, you can do much better.

And BTW leaving a Fifth on a seat unprotected can have catastrophic results. Falling off or stolen is totally unacceptable. :stickpoke:

I have heard that Honey is good!
If you can catch me on my FJR you can take my FJRiders Card.
Oh wait. I'm pretty sure you can catch me.
I'll just hand over my card with a shot of JD Honey next weekend.

edited again.
I have found any work I do under those circumstances usually needs to be completely rechecked the following morning.

Deal!

However, given the straight roads I typically have been riding, I feel like my FJR is more NHRA than MotoGP. LOL

I've been lured into that "FJR gathering/Jack Daniels Honey shit show" before. It sure seems like a good idea at the time.....

No, it really didn't, at least to those who hadn't been sipping from the shampoo bottle already. :D

Today I rode my motorcycle about 230 miles. I got 46.2 mpg, which should sufficiently describe the kind of ride I had. I went by myself - left at daybreak. I went looking for something. I didn't know what it was, but by the time I got home, I knew I had found it.

Stumped?

I went riding to look for some peace. Just a little wind, a little music, and a lot of peace.

Mission accomplished.

Stay thirsty, my friends....

Kill Devil's Hill and the Wright Bros Memorial is definitely on the bucket list. Where would we be today without air travel and air cargo?

You really need to validate your fjr rte card and tell me you stopped for good polish sausage and cabbage rolls at the Wilno tavern.

That would have meant sausage and cabbage rolls for breakfast... Not a bad thing, but.. I dont think the place was even open..

Rode it to go run. Pitch dark and sprinkling. But after three sad sweaty miles on the greenway, nothing feels better than the wind on the bike.
