Yeah, that could be. I guess I will wait patiently before making a judgement...

I have never tried to put a turkey in the saddlebag. The saddle back will hold a large helmet but no an extra large.
Did ya try putting it in the bag?
The FJR will carry turkeys no problem, JSNS.

How much did the turkey weigh? (Not the rider, the dead bird in the sidecase)
Was the heat from the exhaust any help in defrosting the bird?
And not relevant to the FJR discussion, but how are you planning to cook this dead bird? And are we invited as a thank you for all of our generous help and advice?
All I can say is that the bird is the word...

Wait, we may be misjudging him. He may have just been showing us that he had beer to share. That way we know he is supplying the beer when he invites us over for Fried Turkey.
Waiting for our invitation...
Invitation, LOL, we don't need any stinking invitation.

I want to know how many miles you have to ride for the heat off the exhaust to cook the turkey in question.
I sure other gourmets would want to know.

Ok - let's jack this thread up proper. It's Dec. 6 after all. Thanksgiving is over. Either the turkey made it or not.
But related to "bike cooking", I once "cooked" a half dozen homemade beef burritos on the header of a Honda Nighthawk. It took about 75 miles at about 65 mph, followed by 2 or 3 miles at 30 mph (but at about 8,500 rpm).
They were delicious.

The Turkey made it to a family of three. The delivery was fun and the bird remained "on ice" when I handed it over.
The pumpkin is another story. It made it from the end of October to Thanksgiving... a relatively long stretch...

No problem on fit and no issue on the weight or handling.
Ps. You guys are all a bunch of turkeys!

The beer is a normal stock item in my garage. Happy to share with any FJR owner that swings by to Albany!
What surprised me was that all those keen eyes missed the two bottles of VSOP Cognac sitting next to the beer. Yes, I will share those as well!

Turkey will not fit in the side case of an FJR. They are small and awkwardly shaped.
It would need to be a much smaller country ... Malta, maybe, or a larger Greek Island.
