Get Off The Trail!! They Shouted To Me On My F40

I was waiting for this to happen. Last night, on a non-motorized trail I had never been on before, someone started screaming at me "THIS IS A NON-MOTORIZED TRAIL - GET THAT THING OFF OF IT RIGHT NOW!!!!". They had stopped at a trail head and I was going the other way on my fully faired F40. I thought about going back, unzipping the fabric and asking them to look for the "motor", but it was getting late and headed for home.

I still am waiting for a local park system police officer to pull me over sometime. That would be the ultimate.

take it as a compliment

When you travel at F40 speeds, the uninitiated assume that you have an electric motor and battery under the fairing.

I used to do lots of organized century rides in the past. Whenever I parked the fully faired bike at a rest stop, people would gather around to look inside.

They were always surprised when they found a bike, but no motor.

Safe riding,
Joel
