ryoder 1,546 #26 June 22, 2018 BillyVance No windshield on that bike either. She would have had to clean it after every ride anyway. I wouldn't ride up there without a full face helmet. I haven't made the drive from the mainland US to Alaska, but I've heard the bugs are horrendous. Carry an extra jug of windshield wiper fluid and spare wipers because you'll be washing bug guts off a lot on the drive. A windscreen is also useful to prevent eating birds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9ICKVQKSNg"There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

JohnMitchell 16 #34 June 26, 2018 gowlerk Nice pic, but one question John. Did you have to ask permission before posting it? Nope. That was at Space Oddity at Chicks Rock at "Snore a few years back. She had so-o-o many Trekkie guys that wanted a pic with her. There's plenty of these out there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisL 2 #35 July 6, 2018 ryoder You got a bike before you learned to ride it??? You are supposed to take the MSF Basic Rider Course, so you can dump their bikes while you are learning. Then you get your own.https://www.msf-usa.org/BRC.aspx I got my first Fat Boy before I knew how to ride. Learned on it.

BIGUN 1,230 #36 July 6, 2018 Derek, Myself and another were coming back from a quarter of the country trip. On the road from Savannah, GA to Memphis, Tn... Someone passes us in the passing lane on a highway. They have a book on the steering wheel and are turning pages and reading while they pass us. First time I'd ever seen that one.

promise5 17 #43 July 10, 2018 Thank you everyone for the congrats and for the warnings. I’ll take the warnings to heart and really only plan on put- putting around town on her. Back and forth from the station and the school. I’ll be a “boring” happy rider. I didn’t spend any jump tickets on her she was a gift. No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
