Getting slammed by a judge is another. Having a lawyer represent you in court, even if you are guilty of the underlying charge, will help when it comes to dispostion.

I hate rain and riding. Bad combination. Do it again Lisa.

(even though I drove the cage in) Yes I am a rain wimp. Since I live only a few miles away, I vote to have all the Bike Nights at Uncle Jed's. Maybe at least a informal one occasionally during the week. George Cole 2K VFR >>> "lisa@XXXXXX" 07/31/01 08:37AM >>> Well, the rain really put a damper on bike night at Uncle Jed's in Bethesda this past Sunday night. We had a total of three bikes parked out front: my bike, Jay's ZX-11 and Niv's BMW. A few others showed up in cages, there's tons of free cage parking in the public garage across the street. We pulled together a few tables for that intimate bike night feeling, I've never sat with the entire bike night crowd at one table! I think George Cole might have some pics to share. Thanks to those who showed. Also, thanks to Rob K. for his pre-event publicity!

Jon, I'm sure most everyone on this list is guilty of such hooligan behavior. I know I am. But we also need to consider the situation. According to the original post by Danny (if I remember correctly ... I don't have it in front of me), he was doing ~35mph over in a 35mph zone. That's double the speed limit. In an area where there are apparently driveways and/or intersections (the truck pulled out onto the road). Only a 2-lane road, maybe with a single or double yellow line. I would submit that this is less than prudent riding. Certainly a whole lot different than 35mph over with a posted limit of 65mph on a multiple-lane road. Or even different than riding fast on "backroads" where there's limited traffic and places for people to pull onto the road. Have I done what this particular rider has done (in terms of riding "fast" on a road with a relatively "low" speed limit in an area where something like what happened to him happened? Yup! Early on in my riding learning curve. And I had my "almost accident" when a lady backed her car out of her driveway onto the road just as I was rounding a curve at a pretty good clip. Also learned my lesson. There's a time and place for certain types of riding. And if you choose to "push it" on roads where the risk is higher, then bad stuff can happen. Is this guy a "menace"? Let's just say that Danny's account of what happened was less than flattering of the rider's skills and judgement.

And as for me speeding.. or going so fast...how many times have you been on the beltway and looked down and noticed you were doing over 80??? And when I initially asked danny to post a message asking for advice I told him the fastest I might have been doing WAS 70....I didn't know for a fact how fast I was going cause I didn't look at my speedomotor before dumbass pulled out..I told him I was chilling and that the fastest I could've been going was 70... which I don't think I was going THAT fast cause I looked at the pictures from the accident...There is no damage to the truck where I hit it at...just some scratches...

Front wheels tuck under very hard cornering forces. I know because I've done it on the track. They don't "just tuck", particularly if the bike is relatively straight up-and-down. You have to have some pretty serious lean angle and force pushing the front wheel to get it to tuck. Given the original description of the event (which may or may not be accurate), I have a hard time imagining that the rider in question had the bike in a position to tuck the front (i.e., extreme lean angle approaching dragging knee while trying to avoid the truck that pulled out in front of him). Anything is possible, but it's difficult for me to figure out how the front wheel would tuck in this particular scenario.

Since it obviously wasn't your fault that it tucked, then whey did it? Tire pressure? Road Debris? Brakes grabbing to hard Please enlighten us all as to what super natural forces caused your tire to tuck.

I ordered the parts a long time ago from Rosedale CW (they are supposed to be faster with everything especially service). They messed that up and I think it was at least a week later that they put the order in to the factory. I put my deposit down on the parts way back in June, made my insurance claim and waited for all to come together to get my bike looking great again. Well... first thing CW service- Steve gives the insurance appraiser a bunch of shit for looking up part numbers and labor estimates for the repairs and even wanted to charge the company for the information they gave me for free! The problem was that Suz did not even give its dealers all the info they needed to even do service on the bikes let alone parts numbers...this should have all been in place BEFORE a single bike was sold ! We got that worked out by talking to Eric the parts manger instead. Here it is August 1st and my parts are still not in. Eric says Suzuki says they are on back order which is a way of saying that Suzuki America/Japan does not give a shit about making sure that spare parts are available to its loyal customers before they sell you a bike. If they are making the bikes they have the parts!!!! Ive got a turn signal falling off, a badly dented tank and bent handle bars and no one at CW nor Suz seems to care at all about making things right by Christmas. Eric says I may get my turn signal in sooner than the tank and other parts. Great.... Im gonna have to make numerous trips and be without my bike to get everything fixed. Is it unreasonable to think Suzuki should have this new bike thing down before they sell one bike?! I dont think so....you drop a Harley and you can find parts in freaking China the same day. This whole experience has tainted my view of what I thought were top notch companies...unfortunalty the system and service behind the product is pathetic ! I had the VX 800 before this and I couldnt even find the right tire size for it ! Hell, Ron and others in this Club couldn't even get Suz to officially recognize and support our Club! I tried to contact Suz out in California and all I get for my long distance calls is HOLD PLEASE! for 20 F *&^% ing minutes. Any suggestions????? Still waiting to cruise in style. Nick "Steven C.

If you are not interested in attending the SOC-USA Fall Rally, please read no further (and sorry for any inconvenience). It is open to all Suzuki owners, and if you are not already a member of SOC-USA, we will make membership registration available to attendees AT THE EVENT (if you're reading this, you have e-mail, so it's only a Dollar per year for a basic membership). You must, however be a member (or join upon arrival) to attend. Ok, that's "the pitch" (and the only "catch"). Here's the poop: Friday,. September 7 through Sunday the 9th we will be gathering for a weekend of riding (and race watching!). The planned highlight of the weekend will be the AMA Flattrack Races at Vernon Downs [ http://www.vernondowns.com/ ] on Saturday night. We plan on arrivals beginning around Noon on Friday. The Campground is TA-GA-SOKE Campgrounds in Sylvan Beach, NY (northeast of Syracuse). Kenn Gibbs (our National Cruiser and Touring Coordinator) and I rode up today to check the place out, and it's really quite nice! It's minutes from Turning Stone Casino, about 30 minutes from the race track (this is important, because the races last until around 11 - Midnight, and who wants a two hour drive back to the campsite at that hour?). The facility has a great selection of amenities, so feel free to plan on bringing your family too! Even if they won't be riding with us, there's lots to do in and around the park. The campground has a beach, deli and store, an on site restaurant (very reasonably priced), a Rec Room (with pool table, video games), miniature golf, basketball, boat rentals (with access to Oneida Lake), laundromat, showers, and we were assured (by a female camper that Kenn asked) of clean restrooms with proper flush toilets and hot/ cold running water. Sunday morning we won't even have to leave to get breakfast, as there is a $4.95 Breakfast Buffet (with tons of high cholesterol items available!). Kenn and I each reserved two cabins for Friday and Saturday, and there are a few left adjacent to our sites. There are also tent site available in the same area. The cabin rates are based on two adults and three children. The cabins look only a year or so old. They will comfortably sleep four adults (but "extra adults" are $5.00 per night). They also have lights and electric. In other words, it works out to only $25.00 for the weekend for 4 adults sharing a cabin! Is this a deal or what? The Campground website has a site map on it. [ http://www.ta-ga-soke.com ] We currently have C71 through C74 reserved, and I urge anyone planning on attending to reserve your tent site or cabin now, as they will NOT last long. I would not try to contact them by email, I would instead call to reserve, as they don't seem to grasp the full "e-commerce" concept yet - LOL. The toll free number is: 1.800.831.1744. You may reserve a site with a credit card (and may cancel without penalty with no less than 24 hours notice, prior to the arrival date). If you'd like more information, check out the SOC-USA "Events" page on the website [ http://www.soc-usa.org ], or contact either me or Kenn Gibbs (there are email links to us from the site). If you don't mind sending an "RSVP" to either Kenn or Myself (once you've reserved), it'd be great so we can keep a "running head count" to better plan the events. We might also be able to qualify for group discount rates on the race tickets if we can get enough folks involved! Hope to see you there!

To: dc-cycles@XXXXXX I did take responsibility for my accident... I never said it wasn't my fault... I'm just saying I don't know what caused my front wheel to tuck.. and thats what happened...the light turned red, I went to brake, NOT HARD mind you...and the front wheel went...next thing I know I'm on the ground..but I knew it was my fault..always did.. like I said in my previous post, I was the one operating the bike, I have no one else to blame. I'm just upset that people calling me a menace cause some guy jumped out in front of me.. Now had I been in a car and this same guy jumped out in front of me, would I still be considered a menace???

Not knowing anything about the situation besides what I have read - I have to ask ... if you had been going 35 - do you think the truck would have seen you? When people pull out on to the road marked 35, they aren't looking for someone going 65 or 70. Sounds like the cops took this into account when they didn't ticket the truck for failure to yield. And yes - doubling the speed limit does make you a menace. Especially in a 35 zone. Doing so in a 55 zone is quite a bit different (i.e. the Beltway). I have been a menace at times - especially on roads like Skyline that are marked well below their comfortable speeds ... but I realize that by doing so, some tourist could be pulling out of an overlook around any corner. As for not knowing your exact speed - you should always have a pretty good idea how fast you are going. We went through a long thread here on knowing your speed through listening to your RPMs. It isn't very hard to learn. Picking apart accident situations is a popular sport on the list. It helps us learn what not to do - and remind us that occasionally there is a stalled tractor in the road around the next corner. Good luck with your case. Try and go in with a positive attitude. Try to come out with your license. ___________________________________________ Mike Troutman http://www.troutman.org/vfr '97 Honda VFR 750 Member : AMA ~=~ NMA ~=~ NRA From dc-cycles-request Wed Aug 1 10:18:55 2001 Date: Wed, 1 Aug 2001 07:18:53 -0700 (PDT) From: Robert Prather Subject: Re: Fwd: Re: A friend of mine had an accident...

OK. Let's try to be a little constructive here. You braked (not hard) while the bike was still pretty much straight up-and-down and the front wheel went out from under you. Were there any slick spots on the road? What kind of condition is the front tire in? The front suspension? Were you attempting to swerve as braked? Oh yeah, what kind of bike are we talking about here? Do you have "grabby" brakes? Were you countersteering or actually trying to turn the handlebars? Honestly, you/we will probably never really know what happened and what caused it. I'm sure it all happened in the blink of an eye (been there, done that). If no one else was riding with you, you don't have a "witness" who could at least provide their interpretation/observation of what they say happen and what you did. And I am guessing you don't have on-board telemetry or those neat on-board cameras found on WSB and GP bikes. %^) But unless there was something on the road that caused your front wheel to lose traction, the odds are overwhelming that what caused your front wheel to go out from under you was due to some sort of rider error. This is not the same thing as saying you are a menace (BTW, just get over it; getting all defensive about it in this forum is not going to help you make a better case for your unfortunate incident and certainly won't help you learn anything from what happened). Just that you made some sort of mistake (as all of us have done at one time or another while riding). You need to reconstruct everything as clearly as possible to try and figure out what the mistake was and why you did it. Robert Prather wrote : > > I did take responsibility for my accident...

This is a fun thread :) About front end tucking: Yep, we tuck the front on the race track all the time. I did it 2 weeks ago at Summit Point in T5, and at Road A last year in T10a. It never "just tucks". It does so because the amount of lateral force being applied to the front tire exceeds the amout of grip available. This is either because: A) Trailing the brakes (or still using the brakes) while initiating the turn. If you're using the brakes, weight is transferred to the front suspension. Simple matter of weight + lateral force overcoming available traction. The last two times I tucked the front... this is why it happened. B) Too agressive of turn-in. At the moment of turn in, when the bike snaps over, adhesion loses to weight and momentum. Have never had this happen but I've seen the factory guys do it on TV. C) Carrying more cornerspeed than the front tire can handle. See above. Never been able to corner faster than my bike can. D) Dragging the engine cases causes front end to be levered of the ground. Ditto... never happened to me, and usually this is only a problem on older bikes with less ground clearance than new ones have. E) Surface condition... oil, sand, etc. Avoiding these is key. As for speeding... 70mph in a 35 zone is the same as 110mph in a 55 percentage wise. Of course, in a 35 there's usually driveways, blind corners, people walking their dogs, etc, etc. Not really a great idea to be going that fast. Without seeing the situation myself I'm not going to pass any judgement on anyone, but if you were in the neighborhood of 20+ over the limit approaching someone's driveway... I'd have a hard time finding fault in the other driver... that's a pretty bad situation. - Roach From dc-cycles-request Wed Aug 1 10:28:33 2001 Date: Wed, 1 Aug 2001 07:28:32 -0700 (PDT) From: Robert Prather Subject: Re: A friend of mine had an accident...

Ok, it was raining and the front end "just tucked"....If you to lost the front end, it's YOUR FAULT. You didn't say there was any oil slicks or gravel or anything, so I'm going to assume it was just wet. Either your tires were bald, or you were riding to fast for conditions. Front ends don't "just tuck". When the front end gives out, that means you have exceeded the front tire's available traction. This is caused by cornering too aggressively for a given set of conditions, or getting off the gas and/or braking while cornering and (over)loading up the front end. This is plain motorcycle physics. If you fail to understand or recognize this, then you should not be on a motorcycle. (With or without a passenger!)

I now see the reason behind some people's complaints that the basic course doesn't prepare people enough for highway usage at high speeds. It was a little intimidating, but it's just a matter of practice from here, I'm sure. My question - at that speed, if I do a head check [ie to change lanes] - my visor flips up [full face HJC-5]. I assume that the wind is coming up under my chin and flipping the it up. How do I stop this from happening? Get some sort of cover for the chin area? Adjust my head-turning motion as to not allow wind to get in? Is something 'wrong' with my helmet that is isn't capable of keeping shut?

Rather than assign "fault", I think it's fair to say that your accident falls into the "avoidable" category. You've admitted you don't know how fast you were going. And if you don't know, you certainly could've been going "too fast". So there's one contributing factor right there. Had you been traveling at a "reasonable speed" for the conditions, (a) maybe the truck might have seen you and not pulled out (someone else has already pointed this out) and/or (b) you would've seen the truck in plenty of time and had plenty of room to safely brake. Not being a cop or a lawyer, I can't honestly tell you who is at "fault" in your particular situation. Certainly, it would be a little more clear-cut if we were talking about an intersection where you had a green light and he had a red or where you didn't have a stop sign and he did. But as I recall, he was pulling out of a driveway onto the road, right? For sure, he ought to be looking for and yielding to traffic on the road before pulling out. But if he's already pulled out onto the road and you come up on him because you might be travelling above the speed limit, well I don't what the story is in that situation. I suppose you could argue that he's expected to look for and yield to traffic that's travelling at the speed limit and that it's not his fault if someone is travelling in excess of the speed limit (especially if it's possible that you might have been going twice the limit). And probably the determining factor will be whether the truck was already out on the road and you just came up on it too fast and weren't paying attention (and maybe this is what the truck driver told the cops) or whether you were just riding along and the truck pulled out in front of you. Both scenarios could yield the same result. Cops can give tickets for whatever they want. Should they have gotten your side of the story? Probably. Would that have changed anything? Maybe. Maybe not ... especially if they have a "hard on" for motorcycles and if there has been a previous history of similar accidents on that road or in the general area. What matters now is that you have to be able to prove in a court of law that the accident wasn't your fault and that you couldn't have reasonably been expected to avoid it (i.e., you had right of way, were driving in a safe manner, and the truck pulled out so that there's no way you could've stopped or swerved in time). Get yourself a lawyer. Find witnesses. Go back to the accident scene and take pictures.

Now if your visor is slightly cracked open, this can definitely happen. %^) But it sounds like the ratcheting mechanism that locks the visor in place isn't working problem. Could be the helmet itself. Could be the visor. Could be that the visor isn't attached properly to the helmet. If it's a new helmet, take it back to where you bought it (hopefully not the infamous PowerRide) and have them look at it and replace if necessary. You can always send it back to the manufacturer, but that would leave you helmet-less. Since it's an HJC, it's not the most expensive kit so in the worst case scenario you can just go buy yourself another one.

No fairing protection. you'll grow accustomed to it. You may want to consider ear plugs. They cut down on the wind noise, but you can still hear significant noise. I now see the reason behind some people's complaints that the basic course doesn't prepare people enough for highway usage at high speeds. It was a little intimidating, but it's just a matter of practice from here, I'm sure. and sound judgement. My question - at that speed, if I do a head check [ie to change lanes] - my visor flips up [full face HJC-5]. I've never heard of that happening... Usually, when I get up to a certain speed, my visor will close by itself - but not open... sounds like a problem with the latch mechanism. You could try keeping your head down a little as you make your head check..

From dc-cycles-request Wed Aug 1 11:47:54 2001 Date: Wed, 01 Aug 2001 11:46:09 -0400 From: "Randy Moran" To: Cc: Subject: Re: A friend of mine had an accident... I'd just like to chime in here, 'cause chiming in is my Thang. First, as to the incident with the truck: It sounds like that one is on you, Robert. From everything you've said, you were going well above the speed limit and approached the driveway in question from around a blind turn. That is just plain dumb and you are lucky you aren't dead. I'm not going to say that I haven't done the same thing over the course of my motorcycling career, but apparently I'm luckier than you are. Those are the breaks. Blaming the guy in the truck is the worst kind of attitude to take. My advice, since your buddy asked: realize what you did wrong, don't do it again. On to my next brilliant point: In one of your first messages to the list, you complained that we on the list were attacking you and asked rhetorically, "(are we) supposed to stand by each other???" Well, yes and no. I figure a motorcyclist should defend a fellow motorcyclist if his/her position is defensible. Yours ain't. In that case, then, a motorcyclist's duty is confront his/her fellow motorcyclist with the facts. So I will. You were going too fast. You almost got killed. You could have killed someone else. Slow that rocket down, cowboy! You are not doing anyone here a favor by driving around like an idiot on fire, t-boning trucks and then blaming the driver for pulling out in front of you. All everyone else (i.e., the car people) sees is a reckless, belligerent biker and "wouldn't it just be better if we just banned those damn motorbikes to begin with?" Now, about the crashing in the wet (a separate incident, which I think some on the list may have confused with the truck thingy). Your description makes this sound like a classic case of getting on powerful brakes too quickly. Even when the bike is straight up and down, slowing/stopping in the wet is a tricky thing. Here are some hints; when you can, use engine braking prior to getting on the binders. This allows weight to transfer to the front, which in turn allows you to get on the brakes with more force (smoothly, of course). Also, the addition of the passenger's weight can both help and hinder your stopping. It can help in that it will allow you to use the back brake with less fear of locking (what causes the back to lock up is the absence of weight necessary to keep the back wheel rolling against the braking force). It can hinder in that now you have more weight to stop. Now, if you weren't on the brakes at all when you crashed with your girlfriend on the back while riding around in the rain, then it's possible that got into a turn a little to quickly for your own comfort, let off the throttle (even slightly will do it, depending on the lean angle), thereby loading up the front end beyond its traction limit for the conditions. It's easy to do, I've done it, and I've seen people (on this list even) do it. The difference is that they figured out what they did wrong and took steps (i.e., practice and education) to ensure that they won't do it again. As a final blab, I would also like to discourage your bringing up what racers do as a sort of justification for your own riding incidents/difficulties. For the most part, the racers whose interviews you read are highly paid professionals riding perfectly prepared machines at their limit on closed circuits. What they do has nothing to do with what you do. Many of them do not ride on the street at all because they consider it too dangerous. That should tell you something. Ride safe, use your head.

Date: Wed, 01 Aug 2001 12:01:24 -0700 I have to agree with dave. First let me say, about the menacing part.. dude you did 70 mph where a driveway was present. That is dangerous. Not that i'm saying i'm not dangerous, but you know I do my speeding on the highway, without intersections or driveways, parked cars, kids, etc. yet I won't argue if someone calls me a menace.. there is always the chance that something weird would happen, (pothole, animal, tree falling, whatever), that will take me off the bike, and sending it speeding uncontrolably in any direction at tripple digits.. that is menacing.. call us guilty. no contest. Now more importantly... agreeing with him as 1. You should learn from your mistakes/accidents. 2. any accident that coudl have been avoided, is a persons own fault. (from a motorcyclist safety point of view). - like when that cager cut me off and hit me, had I been riding a little more extra paranoid, I could have avoided her "menacing accident" by not being so close to her. Basicly my philosophy to safe motorcycling is, you have to not only ride taking in your own decisions and choices for safety, but those for all the vehicles around you too. Typical example is the vehicle that looks lke it's about to pull out.. you ride not expecting him to stay, but expecting him to pull out.. you slow down.. it's your fault if you assume they wont' violate the law and cream you. or a week ago i went around a bend and hit a pot hole.. I wasn't going too fast.. I just didnt' see it.. however.. I should have been riding in a manner/attention where I did see it. I wasn't speeding.. I guess I just wasn't scanning the road good enough. (it was at night and it looked smaller).. |>> the fucking front wheel just tucked... Plain and |>> simple... |> |>Front wheels dont just tuck. Plain and simple. When you adopt that attitude |>you fail to learn from your mistakes. A good rider will look at what he or |>she could have done different and not blame it on some mystery force. he's right.. I've had a front wheel tuck.. had the front wheel just grabbed and not tucked Iwould have been fine.. however I applied too much force for the given road. The front wheel just didn't tuck, it was my fault. (gravel) That is partly the situation when I got cut off/hit.. now I do pretty good endos.. but I was going to be damned if I were to tuck my front end for that lady then act like it was m fault.. I applied maximum braking, but I wasn't about to try an endo where I couldn't preview the road... so I did as much braking as I could without tucking the front end or endo'ing... |>>but I'm a |>> menace...what the fuck ever.... |> |>According to Danny you told him that you were going 30 to 35 mph over the |>speed limit. On public roads I would consider that a menace.

OK...let's lay ot all out. The guy wrecked. Was it preventable....maybe....maybe not. Without us having seen it....there isn't any way to know for sure. I've e-mailed with the gentleman privately. He wasn't pissed off and ranting at folks who were yelling at him. He seemed lucid, had a good bit of detail about the scene. My read on it...he might have avoided it...maybe. I don't know if the turn was a blind turn. But given that according to his first hand description of the accident...he ended up tagging the trunk in the middle...while his bike was sitting on the center line. His entire lane was blocked by the truck and he was trying to avoid it. Hmmm....that smacks of somebody pulling out without looking. But it could also be excessive speed. It might also have been target fixation. In this case....I wasn't there. But I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Obvously the cop didn't. (And didn't speak to him either.)

I just got an AGV and i'm not used to it not flipping up yet. I do believe it is due to the large chin area and weak visor design. You could try stuffing a hankerchief or bandana in the chin area.. becareful to have it secured, because it could fly out from under the helmet one day... Or you could look back like the racers due.. Kind of like looking downard under your under arm (except on the outside fo your arm) and then look back up.. that is what i woudl do pretty often.. or when I would turn my head to look back for my slow friends, I would place my finger on the visor and ride with one hand until i turned my head back. I suggest you take it back and tell them to give you an HJC that doesn't do that or give you another helmet without taking the restocking fee. or you could buy that chin cover thing for like $30.. i always wanted one of those.. hjc has too much helmet noise too, due to that. plus i get debri in my eye from the stuff the win brings in.. plus it has helmet noise.. i'm starting not to like hjc.. of course my agv is even worse on windflow but.. it's comfy and the visor stays down. HJC should have closed that chin opening and just let people use anti fog stuff on the visor. hope this helps..

no.  I didn't read that in the 'list rules'. sorry.

You must not be looking at the same list as me.....Section 5, article IX states....."Danny may not respond to every email individually. He must reply to them all at one time."

>instead of responding to every email one at a time?!??!

why not respond to one at a time?

Because it's dumb. If Microsoft operating systems can preemptively multitask, than you should be able to.

 you got a problem with attention to
detail?

Uh.....do you have a problem with Thousand Island Dressing? Who said anything about attention to detail? Who said anything about Thousand Island Dressing? NOBODY. Why bring it up? You're just trying to confuse the issue. Weak. Very weak.

when did you become the 'post nazi'? 

I think associating people who disagree with you as being a "Nazi" is in very poor taste indeed. If anything, it's fascism. But that sort of "attention to detail" is beyond you....especially since you're probably responding to the 20 posts before this.

I didn't sign up with

You obviously didn't want to use spell check either. Hey, technology is your friend.

|>Jesus-H-Christ on a pogo stick!

Jumpin Jesus? you got a wierd religion.


That's not religion. You didn't look up the "clinical" definition of "religion", did you. Also, try looking up the definition of "clinical' whilst you're at it.

|>Folks, forget about the spoon. The auto-gag reflex is working fine
|>all by itself.

You take pleasure in other people's pain? Wouldn't that make you a bit of a sadist? (Clinically speaking, of course.)

Don't get me wrong. Rob said he was going 70 max, but if there are no skid marks, could he have really been going that fast around a blind corner? The important thing is everyone was okay.

He's moved on to a new GoldWing. It's a lot of metric cruiser for the money. Water-cooled, so it's fine in summer traffic. Goes fast, stops fast. It's my current daily ride. I just bought the Kaw service manual and the supplement, which I'll include. I also bought the nicer set of Kaw floorboards which I was going to return -- they're negotiable if you like them. After selling my Harley, I bought this bike first. Then I ended up getting a great deal on two older and cheaper cycles that will get the job done for the time being, so I'm reluctantly re-selling this one. Shoot me an E-mail if interested.

I call it my station wagon on two wheels. I guess I should introduce my self also. I am Jay Block, a local motorcycle-riding lawyer. I handle ABATE of Maryland, Inc's legal issues. Ditto MAWMR and am involved with a gob of motorcycle-related charity events. I started out on a used Honda 500 Custom, went to a Sabre, then my first Low Rider and now I ride a 2000 Ultraglide (hate the heat). I have been riding an Ultraglide since I joined the Baltimore Shrine in 1989. I am also a product of the Motorcycle Safety Program. I signed up for the Basic course the day after I bought the first bike and realized I didn't know HOW to ride. I took the Experienced Course when I got the Saber, started teaching the Basic Course by the time I had the Low Rider and was teaching the Experienced Course on my Shrinemobile. I enjoy reading the emails from the dc-area. I remember the downtown block parties the day before Rolling Thunder.

What do you do when it's cold and you need a 10w oil so it doesn't feel like there's sludge in your crankcase. All the automotive oils are EC in the 10w grades. Putting the bike away on the first of October is not an acceptable answer. :) Most guides I've seen specify 10w before 40 degrees. I'm kind of surprised someone at Mobil would actually admit there's no material difference between Mobil 1 MC and regular. Borderline fraud if true.

Actually... the new "EC" (Energy Conserving) oils simply have less Phosphour, Zinc , and other anti-wear agents because these cause catalytic converters to go belly up in cars when oil is burned (due to worn out seals, rings, etc). What's bizarre, however, is that oil ratings don't tell the whole story anyway - they set *maximum* allowances for ingregients, not minimums as one would expect. There are many oils that didn't have too high of levels of these agents in their HJ formulas, and simply repackaged under the new EC ratings without any formula change. For what it's worth, we use Mobil 1 Tri-syn 15w-50 (The "normal" car stuff) in every race bike we run, and have not had a single oil-related engine failure. Also, we change oil at least every other weekend and have never experienced any clutch slippage even on high-reving 400cc superbikes. - Roach From dc-cycles-request Sat Aug 4 15:57:47 2001 Return-Path: Received: from imo-m01.mx.aol.com (imo-m01.mx.aol.com [64.12.136.4]) by dirty.meretrix.com (8.10.0/8.10.0) with ESMTP id f74Jvlk09464 for ; Sat, 4 Aug 2001 15:57:47 -0400 (EDT) Received: from Zerocats@XXXXXX by imo-m01.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v31.9.) id o.c3.142ef322 (18253); Sat, 4 Aug 2001 15:57:00 -0400 (EDT) From: Zerocats@XXXXXX Message-ID: Date: Sat, 4 Aug 2001 15:56:59 EDT Subject: Re: 12v Power Adapter $15 To: mike@XXXXXX, vfr@XXXXXX, dc-cycles@XXXXXX MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="part1_c3.142ef322.289dad8b_boundary" X-Mailer: AOL 6.0 for Windows US sub 10527 --part1_c3.142ef322.289dad8b_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Mike, a version of that, that are sure others have seen is going the BMW route and using one of their access. outlets.

Maybe I have been missing something for the past decade, but what's wrong with the standard 2-conductor "trailer" (AKA "Ford", "SAE") connector for an accessory socket? It doesn't require panel drilling (or a bracket) and costs about $2...compatible with Gerbing and most other vest connectors...it is polarized, available even at Radio Shaft, and is unobtrusive,cheap, and weatherproof....I use the heavy-duty version (available only from my secret source...) I have "wired" my tankbag with one of these connectors and run radar detector, cell phone, heated vest, etc, off this humble connector..it emerges from under the front edge of the seat and mates with the connector going into the tankbag... The only possible negative is that it takes two hands to mate the connectors, but, so what? What am I missing here? -Karl. ++++++++++++++++++++++ kjuul@XXXXXX ++++++++++++++++++++++ Karl Juul **someplace in upstate New York** KB2XG 1994 Honda VFR750F 1993 BMW K75S-Gone, but not forgotten... ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ From dc-cycles-request Sat Aug 4 17:49:54 2001 Return-Path: Received: from web14006.mail.yahoo.com (web14006.mail.yahoo.com [216.136.175.122]) by dirty.meretrix.com (8.10.0/8.10.0) with SMTP id f74Lnrk11227 for ; Sat, 4 Aug 2001 17:49:53 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <20010804214952.3875.qmail@web14006.mail.yahoo.com> Received: from [209.244.210.236] by web14006.mail.yahoo.com; Sat, 04 Aug 2001 14:49:52 PDT Date: Sat, 4 Aug 2001 14:49:52 -0700 (PDT) From: Leon Begeman Subject: Re: 12v Power Adapter $15 To: Karl Juul , vfr@XXXXXX, dc-cycles@XXXXXX, Troutman In-Reply-To: <010301c11d2c$7b657de0$3ac84242@nycap.rr.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii --- Karl Juul wrote: > but what's wrong > with the standard 2-conductor "trailer" (AKA "Ford", > "SAE") connector for an > accessory socket? These work for me. If you want to get fancy, you can even get the 4 wire trailer connector. Then you can put the rheostat for the electric vest on the bike and keep the wiring on your body simple. The next time I do it, the rheostat won't be on the wire closest to ground. That one should be switched so there is a place to plug in the Battery Tender. Karls two wire connector plugs into the first two wires of the 4-wire trailer connector. The four wire trailer connector can also be gotten with a solid mount so that two-hands problem can be avoided as well. Leon. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I mean I need to find a lawyer that can help me out after getting rear- ended and shoved into another car at the Glebe Road merge onto 395 south chokepoint. I was driving the truck and some idiot (who the trooper says may have been drinking) plowed into my truck carrying my (8-mos-pregnant) wife and myself as I was stopped behind another car that couldn't merge. We both went to the hospital and have whiplash, the munchkin seems fine, if a bit pissed off. I want to sue the driver that hit us. Anyone know any good "junkyard-dog" type lawyers in the area?

The Flying Circus was a nice destination and it's hard to beat the admission price (free for those on two wheels). They put on a two-hour air show and airplane rides were available for a fee ($20 for a quick ride; $60 for a half-hour) before and after for those inclined. There are some very skilled pilots in those vintage aircraft. I didn't do too much bike-related stuff since I met up with some family members on arrival, but there was a good bike turnout, lots of Harleys and Wings. A rider from Hampton, Va. won the distance award. It was quite hot and sticky and after an hour-long ride in full leathers sitting on the bleachers was not the ideal way to cool off, but still a nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

But wanted to see if anyone knows of a rider who was hit in Olney last week (Friday, I think). He was riding an older BMW twin (mid-80's?, blue?) I was out running an errand in the cage and passed the accident scene on my way home. Police had arrived and were closing the road; other emergency vehicles were just arriving. The rider was wearing full, heavy leather and helmet. Due to the chaos and all ready assembled crowds, I didn't stop. I only heard the officiers instructing others to not move the rider. He was still and lying on his side in a semi-fetal position; helmet looked in-tact. I check the gazette this week for any further news.

It's easy enough if the pipe is hot... What I did was to ride around a bit, and scrub the hot chrome with the pad. A razor blade is probably overkill, since the high carbon steel is harder than chrome. -ph On Mon, 6 Aug 2001, Wimer, Peter wrote: > For those who have chrome on their bikes, I had someone get too close to my > exhaust pipes and I know have a wonderful "splotch" of a nylon like > substance melted onto my pipe.

Make sure the rag is thick enough that you don't burn yourself while doing this. Give it a shot.

I would highly recommend riding with them, they are a well-run and highly organized group. forward: Hey Guys and Gals! Just wanted to update you all on a few things. First, we still have a few spaces available for our August 19th event. As a reminder, one change from years past is that we will allow licensed road racers to participate without previously cornerworking for us or attending our school. However, they must show their current, valid racing license at registration and they can only ride in the Expert class. Pass it on to your racer friends looking for practice before the F-USA races the following week that we have made this change. Additionally, we will charge non-member racers $199 for the 8/19 event. If they wish to participate with us at future events, they can join and pay a pro-rated membership fee of $70 later on. There is also space available at our Sunday, September 16th event on the East Course at Pocono. And, this looks to be our last regular event of the season, so take advantage of it... We are officially cancelling Rausch Creek scheduled for Saturday, October 6th. At this point, it looks like Rausch Creek is dead in the water, so we are taking this event off our schedule. We also finally have our raindate for the School from 5/26. The new Track School date is scheduled for Saturday, September 29th on the East Course at Pocono. Those who previously paid for the school may attend at no additional charge. This is the only make-up date for this event. Since there was space available at the original school, we are making those spaces available again. If you or any of your friends or family are interested in attending, contact Jean at ladyduc@XXXXXX. The cost is $195 and includes classroom and on track instruction, rain insurance, breakfast, lunch and seminars. Space is limited! One final note, we will have a booth at the F-USA Races at Pocono the weekend of the 25-26 of August. Be sure to stop by and say hello. See you at the Track!

Gimer's right (gulp)[cough] ;-) just running laps will only reinforce bad habits - running laps with some quality instruction OTOH is another matter. There's no such thing as an 'instinctive rider' since it's learned behavior... You need at least some sound training to know what to practice before actually practicing (running laps)... Yes, if you want to get more "instruction" per say, WHA?! is that supposed to be 'per se' ? ;-) spending the money to take a class is great...but anyone can learn each time they go out on a track. I think most people who do a lot of track days will agree. I learn every time my bike goes out on that track, and then any classes I take help add to that. Yes, perhaps that's true for you and others that have track experience, but not rookies... - I had to qualify on both Summit tracks with my Mustang (NASA), do you have to be 'signed off' to race a M/C ?

First I spent two hours of classroom instruction at their shop where they went through a very detailed instruction of how to conduct yourself on a track, the things you want to focus on in your riding (compared to street riding), what all of the flags meant, etc. etc. etc. In my humble opinion, this classroom was done so well, it almost made me scared to get on the track because of everything they were talking about. It made you realize track riding is a huge responsibility in a different way that street riding is. On the track day, the separated everyone into three classes, A, B, and C. Each class had at least ten instructors. They gave us a briefing in the morning about riding to refresh our memories on key stuff. They sent out three people per instructor with a decent time between each. The instructor took us on parade laps, at a slow pace, so we could see what the track was like. The parade laps lasted about 10 minutes to give everyone enough time to get a feel for the track. Once we came back in, the instructors grouped us and asked what questions we had. The morning was very, very structured. No passing anywhere! And each time you came in, you had an instructor pulling in with you to give you tips and answer questions. By the end of the day when people had more of an idea of what was going on and they were more comfortable, they allowed passing on the straights. IMHO, one of the safest track days for a complete beginner.

Keep your speed reasonable, especially on beautiful sunny days when there are multitudes of other bikes out. Also, more than one experienced rider has taken a spill there.

I attended CLASS at VIR last month and aside from a thumbs up "atta boy" from one of the instructors I didn't receive any unsolicited instruction. During a break I asked an instructor I followed for a bit for some feedback. I definitely agree that the more structured the environment the better the first time out. Folks can get in over their heads in a hurry and the staff needs to lay down the ground rules. One of the things I appreciated about CLASS is that Reg and his people really set the tone from the get go and for the most part the students heeded what they say. I think you need an organization that does a pretty thorough tech inspection. I wouldn't want someone on the track with someone me who had dodgy tires or brakes, for example.

Tight Squeeze Racing, captained by Steve Clark w/ riders Mark Morrow and myself, won the Lightweight Superbike class in the WERA 6-hour National Endurance race at Summit Point on Saturday. It was a hard fought victory and, as is common in endurance racing, it hinged on some very good teams having some very bad luck. Also crucial to the victory was the tireless help of list lurker Dustin Crabtree, without whom we could not even have come close to winning. Thanks Dustin, and thanks also to Hugh Caldwell for putting in some hellishly hot hours out on the corners with MARRC,  and for stopping by our pit to offer encouragement.

I hope you all had a great weekend,

Randy

Good goodness...what we are trying to say is a track day is not banging elbows. It's very constrained and full of instruction for a good price. Any beginner can get out on the track and learn and be safe. If you don't know, when I took my track day, I had only 900 miles under my belt of riding a bike EVER! It is probably more helpful for way beginners than for those who are more seasoned.

I find myself learning something new everyday whenever i ride, perhaps i dont learn by leaps and bounds but little by little i get better. perhaps its better to take a course, and with the instruction of a erudite rider i could learn much quicker, but i dont plan on making this much more than just learning how to ride better in the streets. I think going to a track and going arounda couple of times could be a nice experience, i dont need any other instructions. I might go slower than the rest, but i am learning something while doing it. I think every rider needs a bit more learning, its usually a fatal mistake when riders think they are too good. My question for the group is How much does a track day cost? Are there modification to the bike that need to be done, i heard some liquids need to be drained? When are they held? Summit point?

This year I have done 3 track days and taken level one at CSS. For me there wasn't much instruction during the first two track days, at the last one I made a effort to get a control rider to work with me, and follow me instead of me just following their lines, he would follow me for a few laps, then have me follow him, then we would then talk a little after the session. You will get much better feedback if you ask for it. The CSS school was my 2nd track outing this year, and after doing the class, I went to my next track day and found I was a lot more comfortable on the track at speed, and could spend more energy/concentration on riding techniques and being smoother. If you just sign up for a track day, at least buy Keith Codes Twist series books, (no 2 is better) and work on a lesson during each session. Try not to get caught with other riders etc. The class is better, but this method works for me also. NESBA offers a free into session at all of their events. Just sign up on the web, ride you bike up the morning of the session, tape or remove your mirrors and you can ride with the Beginner group the first 2 sessions. (you will get to corner way faster than you ever have on the street) Riding on the street after a track day is different though. Regards, George Cole >>> ricardo pontes 08/06/01 02:57PM >>> I am intersted in taking my tiger for a "trackday", but i dont know where to go. And how much it would cost and what i need. I would like to ride in a track, not ot become a racer but to become better in my riding skills and become more comfortable with my petite tiger. Anyone know of a place where mere mortals can go a couple of rounds around a track? Ricardo Pontes 98 tiger __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

What gives, I know you have some sort of hard-on for the District, but I'm at a loss as to what this has to do with Chandra. Are they reassigning detectives to man the camera cruisers? Unfortunately Lockheed Martin doesn't get a $29 cut of every felony arrest. The problem I have with it is that as a practical matter of improving safety, it's a dubious proposition. You can speed all you want as long as you can afford to pay. Just go on your merry may and if you get nabbed, just drop the check in the mail. It's a speeding tax. How long do you think it will take before people will be able to spot the Crown Vics? Since cars are ticketed and not drivers under this system, it will do nothing to nail the serious menaces. District law has a provision that at 30 over the limit (I think) you're subject to arrest. A notice in the mail ten days later is unlikely to have the same impact. You'll still have to get the serious bad actors the old fashioned way with a traffic stop. I'm also going to get some security screws for my license plates. There's now even more incentive to steal license plates. 25 mph, well it depends. Most of the major thoroughfares have higher limits, unless they are in a residential neighborhood. I don't think 25 is unreasonable on a narrow street lined with houses. At least we don't have those damned speed bumps...yet.

And, yes, many track days do divide between racers and non-racers. Also, cycle sport treats everyone as a beginner... if they see people acting like "racers", they are talked to, and if their behavior doesn't change...they are dismissed. for the most part, though, we racers only participate in racer-only track days. participating in regular track days don't allow us to practice what we need to practice...thus the reason cycle sport is good for beginners...the only racers you'll tend to find there will be actual instructors.

These days are for racers to go out and work on setup etc. The RACING LICENSE HOLDING riders are essentially set free on the track for 20 minutes or so at a time. Cycle Sport track days are a much different event. They are designed with street riders in mind and work up the pace slowly throughout the day. The emphasis is on safety and it is a great way to safely have fun on the track. The control riders are pretty controlling. There are 3 groups and they will promote/demote riders who have skill levels unmatched with their group. The slow group is pretty darn slow (no offense to anyone who has ridden there, just stating a fact based on the stopwatch :)). I was surprised to see how well they ran it. I recommend the Cycle Sport track day to anyone who thinks it will be enjoyable. As Laura said, be careful it is addictive. I ran a spring event and had a a couple of race weekends under my belt (leathers) by the fall.

Sorry, but newer bikes are far less prone to speed wobbles then the old ones (Like the Kaw 750 triples) As for steering dampers coming stock, virtually all bikes came with them when I started riding (Usually friction types) The current use of them has more to do with marketing then with need. Suzuki put them on the new twins when _riders_ complained about wobble, even though their test riders or the test riders of the major magazines found no problem. If you are having a problem with wobble it is time to find out what _you_ are doing wrong, because. "_design_ is virtually unheard of as a cause of wobble today.

Slamming the > throttle off loads the front wheel suddenly... See above. exactly. slamming the throttle shut OR open is an involuntary response in this situation. conscious pilot input is minimal. if the bars slap right, throttle may close; left and the throttle may open. possibly both within a fraction of a second. i would love to see the MSF recommended procedure in action to see if it is possible to react positively during the relevant time period. the physics is one thing, i.e., it is clear there is a desired result. however, is it physically possible to predictably foster it? not in my experience. ===== tg For quality legal services at reasonable rates, check out http://www.murphygimer.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

A group of us go up there almost every weekend, usually on Saturdays. We meet at the Multiplex in Centreville around 8 or 9, take some back roads there, then go up and down it several times. It's been weird lately, as there have no almost no other bikes except us. And very few cops. Compared to when we went in May and ran into a group of about 30 bikes. (Ran into someone on this list that same day, but not sure who. We were a group of 7, and he was on a red VFR I think, with someone else) Might be because we go so early. It's a fast group, all sportbikes, and no squids. You can find more info on the esportbike.com message board under Local Rides in the NoVa thread.

Around the mid-atlantic area I think there are three major clubs; NESBA, Pro-Motion and Reduc. I've been on the track with the first two, don't know anything about Reduc. There's also CornerSpeed, but they seem to be mostly a licensing school that offers racer track days. I don't have a lot of street riding experience; little over a year on my GSXR. I ride a race prepped SV650 for the track days. My goal is to get more confidence and some experience on the track to be a better rider and race my SV. Here's my impression of each club and related comments... NESBA -- non-profit club - run very professionally - very strong emphasis on safety and pace control. I started with these guys and currently ride in their beginner class (they have 3 classes Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced). I'm going to ask to move up to intermediate next session. B & I are sport bike classes, A is a racer class. Not only do you have to be a good rider to get into advanced your bike must be race prepped (wired, no anti-freeze, etc..). Their free-intro class would be cool for you to get a track experience to see if you like it. The first two sessions when the intro-riders are there are VERY slow. It was cool my first time on the track, but after I got used to my bike (had never ridden my new SV before) and riding on the track, they seemed excruciatingly slow. :0 However, after the intro riders are gone the pace picks up. I usually try to grid in the front so I get get down the track ahead of them. I'll usually catch the slower guys mid-session, but its not that hard to pass them. (except if THEY are on a R1 or VTR1000 and you are on a SV650 and THEY gun it down the straights right as you were gonna pass them to avoid falling asleep behind them in the turns... ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!) At Summit Jefferson I was pretty pleased with being able to keep up with most of the faster guys in the Beginner class who were on bikes with 30-50% more power than mine. (ok ok -- was the small course .. not my skills. :) ... ) A word about passing - always seems to be a question or two from new track riders. In Beginner - NO passing except for straights. On VIR south this is just the main straight. On Summit there were two spots and then in the afternoon they loosened it up for the small straight before the long sweeper in the back section. Intermediate - passing in straights and turn before entrances and upon exiting. Although they discouraged passing coming into the entrances. Advanced - passing everywhere, but they emphasized that it's not a race; be courteous. All of the the control riders I've encountered are very helpful and go out of their way to help you; they will show you the lines, follow you through those lines, and give you on and off track feedback. For me it was great since sometimes I have no clue that I am doing something that prohibits me from going faster. For instance I really didn't know how to lean my bike over in a turn well, one of the CRs pulled me aside and told me that I was fighting the bike and making it unhappy. :) He explained to me what I could do to be better, said try it out and let me know what you think. My next time out was noticibly better. Now this weekend I actually had my knee slider touching a couple times. (just twice and only for split seconds -- but it was cool!) It also is always nice to get feedback from folks you meet at the track who were watching you go by. ### PRO-MOTION -- for profit business (not totally sure if this makes a big difference between the 2 clubs) - IMO run kind of loose - atmosphere tending towards less control; have fun, but don't be stupid. I got the impression that the guys running PM understood that some people think they are too loose. They made a pretty big point of telling us at the rider meetings to let them know about any negative things that might be going on that they don't see. I was with them at VIR last weekend. I think they were low on control riders that day (7 for the day with about 70+ riders), so about 3-4 per class as most of the CRs rode double stints. However, I'm not mentioning the 'looseness' as a criticism, as I am sure many riders might like this style better. PM has 4 classes. White (beginners), Red, Blue, Black (racers). I told them my track experience (5 days before this last weekend) and I was put in the Red group. White class was similar to NESBA's beginner class, but it seemed to me that at the riders were a bit faster than NESBA beginners (btw -- passing only in straights for white). Red group is a sport bike class. Passing in straights and on the outside of turns. I'm not sure if the kinks at VIR qualify as turns or straights but faster riders passed me on either side. A couple times I got passed on both sides at the same time. :0 (A pox on those darn those R6 riders!!! LOL) I'm not totally sure, but I think they only real difference between Blue and Black is bike setup (black requiring full racing setup and passing is allowed anywhere -- just no stuffing! -- They actually black flagged a guy a couple times for stuffing people.). If they they have a lot of riders they will ride 4 groups, which means less track time (15 minutes per stint rather than 20). They combined blue and black together during my weekend at VIR since those two groups were smaller. With both clubs common sense is always the best rule -- I 'drag raced' another guy on a SV up the VIR South straight who I knew was WAY faster than me in the turns. I could have stayed ahead coming into turn one, but I knew it would suck for him so I eased off the gas a little to let him pass. After talking to him later I knew that my courtesy totally made his day and made for an exciting couple laps for me as I pushed hard to keep up (uh yeah he lost me after a lap ...) Their websites have the best info on cost, schedules, and what you need, but here it is in a nutshell: Track cost ==> averages $150/day Bike Needs ==> nice running bike, tires at about 75% or more, fresh brakes, mirrors taped (better to remove), all lights taped (for NESBA INTRO u don't have to do this, but is suggested) Gear Needs ==> leathers (full or 2 piece), helmet, back protector, GP gloves and boots (for NESBA INTRO they allow u wearing a leather jacket and 2 pairs of jeans -- I was kind of shocked at this when I read it online but given the fact that the intro/beginner sessions are run very very slow, it *seems* acceptable.) Lots of water and some snacks... a track tent also is great for shade... and more water... http://www.nesba.com/ http://www.teampromotion.com/ Annual membership for PM $65 -- if you are gonna do 2 or more days, it is worth it to purchase membership as they charge $30 more for non-members per day. It is $75 for NESBA -- even higher non-member higher track fees. If you are gonna do more than 1 day with NESBA it saves big to join. Pro-Motion rents gear, bikes, and does two-up rides (for non-riders I guess...). One guy I rode with in both clubs summed it up like this: NESBA is a hobby run like business. Pro-Motion is a business run like hobby. :) Regardless of the differences, I liked both clubs. If I had to choose one over the other I think I would choose NESBA, but they wouldn't win out by a whole lot. BTW -- Other's have said this and it is true! It is VERY addictive. I joined PM's club because I wanted more days than NESBA was offering.

The Flying Circus was a nice destination and it's hard to beat the admission price (free for those on two wheels). They put on a two-hour air show and airplane rides were available for a fee ($20 for a quick ride; $60 for a half-hour) before and after for those inclined. There are some very skilled pilots in those vintage aircraft. I didn't do too much bike-related stuff since I met up with some family members on arrival, but there was a good bike turnout, lots of Harleys and Wings. A rider from Hampton, Va. won the distance award. It was quite hot and sticky and after an hour-long ride in full leathers sitting on the bleachers was not the ideal way to cool off, but still a nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Well it was raining until I got all my rain gear on, then it stopped and the ride home was great. Did anyone see that guy in the mini practice on sat. pull the wheel stand coming out of turn six, now that was kewl. Also someone lost it coming out of turn 6 and went down low sided hitting the dragons teeth at the edge of the track, the fuel cap popped off and the sparks from the slide caught the whole thing on fire sliding all the way to the tire wall with fuel and fire following. Big burst of flame as it hit the tire wall, I ran with fire extinguisher to help put the fire out but the worker at turn 7 had it under control before I could get my old decrepit fat ass up there. The rider was over the tire wall standing holding his wrist. Not sure what happened to him. The bike on the other hand had broken the hose off the front brake reservoir, shifter broken off, Exhaust broken off, fuel cap broken off, and the bike was lightly toasted and covered in the crap that is in the fire extinguisher. I was glade to see the rider was up and walking after that kind of a spill. This was the first bike race I worked and I had a great time.

We were camped out at turn 6, Chris said he was heading back to the pit area. I put on my rollerblades and Chris gave me a pull using the YSR! I think that was even more fun than riding the YSR.

I'll be going down in my cargo van, planning to sleep in it during the races. I will probably leave on Thursday afternoon. I will be able to take cargo with me for those who don't have saddle bags or want to bring folding chairs, coolers, etc. We should arrange a place to meet the day before if anyone wants me to carry their stuff down there. We should also arrange a place to meet up when we reach VIR. I assume no one wants to be stuck behind a slow-moving van on the way down there. ;^) The DC-Cycles Caravan starts here!

IMHO a track day would be beneficial only if the rider in question (Ricardo, in this case -- and I admit to not knowing anything about Ricardo's riding experience/skill level) already knows something about riding. If you're not a "good" rider to begin with, riding around on a track isn't necessarily going to help you get better. For example, if your turning/cornering skills suck, just being on a track won't inherently make them better. Sure, you'll have more room and no car traffic to worry about. And you'll be able to ride faster than you would on the street. But if you have poor/bad skills to begin with, the track -- in and of itself -- won't make you any better. So a totally open track day with no or next to zero instruction is probably not a good idea for a less than skilled street rider. 2. A track day that provides some level of instruction would certainly be better than one without any instruction. Again, it's not an actual teaching/learning experience as in a track school, but if the control riders have any kind of teaching/communications skills then one would expect to see some level of improvement. Note that just because someone is a good racer, fast on the track, and a control rider doesn't necessarily make them a good teacher. And there probably isn't any real "structure" to the whole learning process at a track day. But Option 2 is IMHO certainly better than Option 1. 3. I will agree with Tom that probably the "best" way to start is to go to an actual track school (be it California Superbike School, CLASS, dP Safety, or whatever) with "real" instructors and a structured learning environment. You're in a controlled environment and the focus is on learning, not just riding around fast. IMHO, this is the best way to learn and get better. And you will progress a lot faster up the learning curve than you would in either Option 2 or 1 above. But track schools are more expensive (you're paying for the teaching, not just renting the track to ride on) and may not be as convenient as a track day. I can't remember the original post, but it all comes down to what Ricardo hopes to gain by going to the track. If he wants to actually learn how to be a better rider and corner, going to an actual track school IMHO is the "best" way to do it. If, on the other hand, he simply wants to get more familiar with and learn more about riding his m/c (a Triumph Tiger?) and wants to do it in an environment without the hassles of traffic, cops, etc., then he would be well-served by a track day. He may "learn" something at the latter, but it won't "teach" him anything.

Where "latter" is a track day. And while we're being all bollocks'ed up... What exactly does a "newbie" learn if left completely to his/her own devices out on the track? That they can ride faster than they can on the street? I'm sure they're skills improve ... some. But I doubt (for most) that they learn the actual "how's" and "why's" of motorcycling handling and cornering skills -- especially if they don't know about them to begin with. I don't doubt that "newbies" have "learned plenty" at track days -- after all, you said so right here on the internet so it MUST be true! %^) And hopefully, their skills improved and they're better riders as a result. But I would venture to guess that their actual learning would be vastly greater if they were in a more formal teaching environment such as what's provided by a quality track school.

Also crucial to the victory was the tireless help of list lurker Dustin Crabtree, without whom we could not even have come close to winning.

I've never heard anyone recommend that tap water is ok in a battery. Go spend a buck on a gallon jug of distilled water at the local grocery store. Sounds like the shop wants to sell her a new battery. > After about 6 hrs fluid spilled out of the battery > and the charger is still only showing 6 or 7 volts. What kind of charger do you have? Most good motorcycle chargers only put out one or two amps to keep from boiling the battery like this. If you've got a automobile-type charger, it might be too big. > My recommendation to her is just to get a sealed battery > and be done w/the problem but she's trying to save $. She may have to end up going this route, anyway. Ask her how much a tow truck is gonna cost her if the battery croaks again somewhere. Good luck.

You'll save time/money/frustration in the long run by getting a good battery (sealed or not) and treating it right. I've been stranded in the middle of no-where with a bike that wouldn't start one time too many to ever want to deal with a dead/dying battery again. If the battery won't take a charge -- and if its old and completely discharged and has too much gunk on the plates inside it may not -- there isn't much you can do, other than replacing it. If she insists on using and old battery, recommend jumper cables and something like AMA or Honda Rider Club so that she has someone to call should she need to have the bike jumpstarted or towed. Also, in such cases, carrying a cell phone is good insurance. As always, YMMV. -- Dan Brown brown@XXXXXX From dc-cycles-request Tue Aug 7 16:19:53 2001 Return-Path: Received: from rhino.spottedcat.com (IDENT:root@[63.91.14.3]) by dirty.meretrix.com (8.10.0/8.10.0) with ESMTP id f77KJr606639 for ; Tue, 7 Aug 2001 16:19:53 -0400 (EDT) Received: from localhost (hcaldwell@localhost) by rhino.spottedcat.com (8.9.3/8.8.7) with ESMTP id QAA26201 for ; Tue, 7 Aug 2001 16:15:53 -0400 Date: Tue, 7 Aug 2001 16:15:52 -0400 (EDT) From: hcaldwell X-Sender: hcaldwell@XXXXXX To: dc-cycles@XXXXXX Subject: Re: AMA Weekend @ VIR In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII I didn't see any thing about pit passes at the VIR website.

The teams would put up ropes around the areas they didn't want to be public. I wondered at the time if that was different than other tracks because of the pathetic attendance. Maybe not. It was definitely cool to see the racers walking through the pits celebrating victory or grumbling about problems and still trying to be friendly. Steve Crevier high-fived me randomly after winning the 600 championship. But, with the poor attendance, I think he high-fived every spectator in the place.

Gotta give it to you, Tom... no controlling a TS. IF you could, we wouldn't be seeing human lawn dart impersonations at races, would we? i did a quick search for tankslapper on the internet. Ruh Roh. You know, Tom, if it's on the internet, it HAS to be true... ;-) here's a tidbit: during a highspeed tankslapper, the bars can go from left-lock to right-lock 5+ times per second. try "easing" off the throttle during one of those! i can hear your answer already...so i'll respond. i experienced no "wobble" prior to the slappping--there often isn't a chance to follow msf technique. despite your assurances, i believe we're still disagreeing on semantics. you're talking about a wobble, and i'm talking about a tankslapper. Wobble can be saved, Tank slappers - maybe... I've seen some racers get lucky on TV, but we're talking about the span of maybe 3 seconds... In the 'less severe stages' of tank slappery, yeah, you can save it... full lock to lock tank slapping, you're playing human lawn darts...

A few features to look for: At least 2 Megapixel CCD - more (usually) equals better The ability to use Alkaline batteries as well as rechargeables Removeable storage - my preference tends towards CF - it's a little larger than smartmedia, but a lot more rugged - prices per MB are about the same. USB connectivity - even better yet, get a USB reader for your PC for the flavor of media that you want and save the camera's batteries (digital cameras EAT bateries - and the ubitiquous AC brick is a pain) The more optical zoom, the better (also the more $$) - digital zoom is to be avoided. Generally speaking, I tend to like Kodak cameras at the low end (low = <$1K) - good resolution and color reproduction over all. Almost all cameras in your price range will have a PHD mode - you may want to look for one that will let you do more should you want to. Michael J.

If you are a beginner, it will definitely take your body a little while to adjust to riding. I'm sure that you're not used to sitting on something that weighs over 300 lbs, and that takes a lot out of you. When I first started riding, I couldn't ride 50 miles without serious hurting...but it does go away. If after a few weeks more it doesn't, I'd suggest starting to look at your bike. Is your seating position vs. your body type putting strain on your hips? We switched the handle bars on my bike to a lower position, and now it's much moer comfortable and less stressful on my...um...rump. Also, is your seat hard? maybe look into replacing that with another one (don't start that debate! :-) Really try to analyze the next time you are riding when and where your body starts bothering you, as this will give you a huge clue into how to fix it. Also, try stretching before and after you ride...this will help a lot. Ride safe. Laura On Wednesday 08 August 2001 09:50, LakeSueE@XXXXXX wrote: > Hi everyone.

For all you ladies out there (perhaps the gents might experience this too) I have been getting hip cramps almost every time I sit on my motorcycle. I have been riding for a full month now. Have any of you ever had this? Does it go away as you sit more often? I know that this sounds really funny but it is a bit uncomfortable when you are riding in the city streets and you can't stand up and stretch.

I have been riding for a full month now. A FULL MONTH?!!??! You mean, like, 720 hours, non-stop continuously riding a motorcycle! Hang on, be right back.....(stands up and smartly saluting you, wherever you are). How do you stop for gas? How did you type this email? Incredible! >Have any of you ever had this? No, my best is 19 hours. 45 minutes of which I slept, but I did it on the motorcycle, without getting off first. And then later, on a completely different subject, Tom said: >despite your assurances, i believe we're still disagreeing >on semantics. you're talking about a wobble, and i'm >talking about a tankslapper. I have to agree with Tom on this. (Stopping to scan the horizon for the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.....ah, there's Plague now....oh, wait. That's just my Boss.) Considering the sudden and violent nature of a tankslapper, (and I have encountered tankslappers with NO wobble. Actually, try popping a wheelie, turn your wheel half-lock in either direction, and then land the wheelie. Voila! Instant no-pre-wobble tank-slapper.) even the best riders oftentimes don't have enough time to react. And I'm talking about top-level AMA riders. If they can't do it, we sure as hell can't!. And if we did, it was pure luck. And on to the last subject.... Laura said: >therefore, Gimer gets a lot of business from us.

A month isn't all that long, and perhaps you are just inordinately tense and clenching your muscles ... what I would imagine would be typical nerves for beginning riders. Maybe some focus on relaxing yourself while riding would help. Outside of that, I agree that looking at aftermarket handlebar and seat option are a good Idea. I put a set of helibars and a corbin on mine and it made a ton of difference. Although, I disagree with going with a softer seat. I personnally find that a more firm, more supportive seat works better for me. Of course, YMMV. Welcome, --chris On Wednesday 08 August 2001 09:50, LakeSueE@XXXXXX wrote: > Hi everyone.

After a two or three hundred miles on the VFR in one day, Tylenol is still necessary equipment for me, even though I find the bike very comfortable. Best advice is to shift your position around on the bike moving fore and aft on the seat. I also stick my legs straight out to a virtual "highway peg" position to take the load off from time to time. Also ease up, don't try to maintain a death grip on the bars and always keep your arms bent and your back straight. Don't slouch or "reach" for the bars. If you feel like you need to "reach" then it's probably time to look at bike mods. Also your hands are on the grips solely to manipulate the controls, not to keep you on the bike. Try handling them like they are delicate bird's eggs. Very light touch. This applies to any bike: cruiser, standard or sport. You may not realize it, but you may have a lot of tension in your upper body which is causing pain elsewhere. Fatigue and tension is also caused by other distractions like wind noise. Ear plugs do wonders for me in extending my seat time, not to mention preventing me from becoming a deaf old man. You didn't mention what you're riding. Perhaps there are model-specific tips and modifications other listers could offer. Check out your posture first and then look at the bike setup.

Floats that don't float anymore would do that. But neither of these makes a lot of sense if it's all four plugs that are fouled. Does the bike have a vacuum line to the fuel petcock? If it does, it won't leak when the engine is stopped because the vaccuum won't let it flow unless the motor is running. And when the engine is running, the leaking fuel will be sucked into the motor where it will foul your plugs. You could apply vacuum to the line (or turn the switch to prime if it has that position) then fuel will leak into the engine with it turned off. Leave it in this position overnight and in the morning you'll probably have at least one cylinder full of fuel and a puddle of fuel under the bike. Remove the plugs pump the fuel out of the motor, change the oil and then fix the carbs. OTOH, if you do run it at 90, then 25 mpg will be about right. > > Sheesh, I may be a newbie, but how dumb do dey think > I am? You might be surprised, that comment about some of the more intelligent species of plants isn't far from the truth for some people. Besides, it's a '77 and it runs, what more do you want?

I decided to ride the spare bike this morning. Checked the miles on the tank. The miles on the tripmeter looked a little high so I backed the bike out of the garage and peered into the tank while outside for better lighting. Everything looks good, there seems to be plenty of fuel sloshing around the bottom. Enough to get me to Wacky Wednesday at the Shell on the way to my office. Halfway to work I figured that my estimate was wrong. Sputter, sputter cough, clunk! I have barely figured out where the choke is on that bike let alone the reserve switch. Also, my VFR does not have reserve, nor did my last bike. I made it to my normal exit for Rt. 355. using inertia. Pulled over on to the nice wide, but not shady, shoulder. Called Jay, he works two miles from there. He arrives within 10 minutes and manages to extract gas from his Monster to feed the FZR. I ride the Duc and he rides the FZR to the gas station. I was only 33 minutes late to work, not bad!

Sputter, sputter >cough, clunk! I have barely figured out where the choke is on that bike let alone the reserve switch. I learned my first lesson about this on Monday. I thought I was having electrical problems, since I had just recharged the battery I had let die the week before - but I hadn't reset my trip meter and didn't judge gas level right . My fault - I'm learning how to work with no gauge. My question - turning to reserve seemed to do no real good once I realized what was going on, at the side of the road trying to start it again. A gas station was near - and I thought I had read that a soda-can of gas was enough to get me moving again. I poured that in, but I killed the battery trying to get it started after that, since it wouldn't turn over. Once I recharged the battery up at home, and brought a gallon of gas to it, I could laboriously get it going again. Is a "soda can" worth just not enough to fill the system and get moving again? What's the best way to get the engine to start once drained dry - full choke, open throttle, and continuous starter? Or is it probably something more simple - like my spark plugs are old/need adjustment to turn over easier?

I'm pretty sure a CB750 of that vintage is not vacuum-operated. If it's not vacuum-operated or has a "prime" position, you can turn it to "on", "reserve" or "prime" and wait a couple of minutes for the float bowls to fill up. If you have a vacuum-operated petcock and no "prime" you have to crank it to generate vacuum to keep the valve open while the bowls fill. After a couple of times, you can take note of the "early warning signs" (engine suddenly lacks power or sputters) and flip to the "reserve position" on the fly.

If you are lucky enough to have a "Prime" setting on your petcock, this is a good time to use it. It lets gas flow into the carbs, even if the engine isn't running. The Concours has a really big gas tank, it seems a real shame to pull up to the pump and only put 5 or 6 gallons in, so I try to maximize it. :) I've limped into the gas station on fumes once or twice. Sometimes I found that leaving the bike sit for a few moments even after it had "run out" of gas, I could restart it and move a few hundred more yards. I've also taken off the tank and swished the gas around to the petcock side, which I left on prime and attached to the carbs. Your petcock seldom drains the tank dry. A reserve-reserve if you will. I know a guy on the Connie list who has dumped a bottle of rubbing alcohol into his tank after he ran out - was enough to get him to a station. I hear hard liquor works as well. :) I also had luck once by pulling the choke on as the bike started sputtering. Even though the motor was good and hot, it seemed to run a little better that way. The gas station was really close that time, so I didn't try to see how far I could get that way... I always try to carry a couple of fuel line hoses with me on the bike. One is about 6 feet long. The other is only about a foot long. If you stick both into another bike's gas tank, cover the opening tightly with a rag, and blow on the short hose, you can pressurize the tank and get gas out of the other line. It sure beats sucking on the other end to get the gas flowing. I think this is called an Arkansas credit card, but I can't figure out why. :) Horkster PS: Ever put 8 gallons of gas into a 7.5 gallon tank?

Ahem, back the intent of the topic, chris is right about - er - motorcycle seats, a firm one is the way to go.

Do not use pay at the pump if you are traveling on a bike. Why? It seems that when you use pay at the pump the fuel company confirms that you have enough available by putting a "block" on enough of your money to pay for a fill up of just about anything out there, a Cadillac, a motor home, or whatever, then they "refund" the remainder. The problem is that it can take a week or more for that refund to show up in your account. Here you are putting $5.00 at a time for a fill up on your bike, 4 or 5 times a day and $40 or $50 or more disappears from your account each time. All of a sudden your card is getting declined even though you "know" you have plenty in your account. The solution is simple, pay inside, that way what you buy is what you pay for.

The short version... Do not use pay at the pump if you are trave= ling on a

Why? It seems that when you use pay at the pump the= fuel company confirms
that you have enough available by putting a "bl= ock" on enough of your money
to pay for a fill up of just about anythi= ng out there, a Cadillac, a motor

I greatly enjoy all the protection and convenience I get when using other peoples' money! Credit card rules are so clearly defined. I mean, if someone gets ahold of your debit card and drains the account, you're out that money. With a credit card, you're out either zero or $50, depending on the timeliness with which you report the loss of the card. (Disclaimer: IANAL) Same deal for the Speedpass -- this invention is currently numero uno in the Big List of Things I Don't Get: - It doesn't work at all stations. - It's Yet Another Thing you have to carry around, like membership cards. Ick. - It clutters up an already cluttered keyring; mine's a weapon now, much worse than my wallet! - It's unclear how liable you are if someone runs up charges with your Speedpass. (...well, I'm sure it's buried in the contract fine print somewhere, but I don't want to be the test case.) All that, because it's supposedly faster than swiping my VISA card? Well, I'll race you, but I don't think you'll beat me by more than 4 seconds at a self-service pump, twice a week. That's about 7 minutes a year, minus the time required to apply for and manage the Speedpass. And I'll win every time at the Sunoco station or the Shell station or... ;-) /// Rob From dc-cycles-request Thu Aug 9 04:50:15 2001 Return-Path: Received: from web10506.mail.yahoo.com (web10506.mail.yahoo.com [216.136.130.156]) by dirty.meretrix.com (8.10.0/8.10.0) with SMTP id f798oE613816 for ; Thu, 9 Aug 2001 04:50:14 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <20010809085013.62393.qmail@web10506.mail.yahoo.com> Received: from [166.94.49.110] by web10506.mail.yahoo.com; Thu, 09 Aug 2001 01:50:13 PDT Date: Thu, 9 Aug 2001 01:50:13 -0700 (PDT) From: Todd Withrow Subject: Re: Pay at pump To: Larry Meyer , dc-cycles@XXXXXX In-Reply-To: <3B71F232.75D832E1@cox.rr.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I'll second that.

Get a life Dave. Just because your family came to this country years ago, that doesn't mean that you have to disparage new immigrants here trying to make a life for themselves. There are certain ethnic groups that tend to predominate in service stations/convenience stories. Those ethnic groups are also well reprsented on this list.

Good Question Mark... Get a life Dave. Just because your family came to this country years ago, that doesn't mean that you have to disparage new immigrants here trying to make a life for themselves. More power to them to come here, and make a life for themselves, as all of us or our ancestors once did. But poor personal hygiene, and treating women like sub human property is conduct that should offend everyone. If that makes me a bigot, fine, I'll accept that. There are certain ethnic groups that tend to predominate in service stations/convenience stories. Those ethnic groups are also well reprsented on this list. Kudos to you, Dave, for just instulting them all. No, it is certain conduct that I find offensive, and make no apologies for insulting. Where the person comes from or what race they are is irrelevant to me. If that offends you Mark, so state, but don't pretend to be a spokesman for those who may be offended.

Why is it that inline 4 600s put out 90+hp, and 1600cc monsters generate in the 60 neighborhood? This isn't a questions, but an observation.

I like my Speed Pass because a lot of the time I wear riding pants over my jeans or slacks and my wallet with credit card is in the jeans and its a huge pain to take off or loosen the pants to get to the wallet. With the Speed Pass on my key chain I just pull it out of the ignition, place it against the speed pass sensor, fuel up and go. Its can also be a pain to get a credit card out of a wallet with thick gloves, so with the speed pass I dont have to take them off. Because I commute daily it makes it a little easier, but of course it helps to have Mobil stations on the route.

I use a Speedpass all the time and I've used multiple times in one day with no problem whatsoever. I put the thing on my bike keyring. I can leave my gloves on and don't even have to get off the bike, let alone dig around in my pants or my "'Stich" ( I don't have a "'stich", actually, I just like saying that) for a wallet or a credit card. It works at Mobils and some Exxons, and if it doesn't work then I hafta get off and do it the old way. No biggy, I'm guessing. I don't know since I've never had it not work. It is perfect for people who ride, end of story. You Luddites remind me of my dad.

That post had me groaning and hiting the delete key too. Actually, I pay fer gas with cash and don't mind walking into the station.

I found this out the hard way on Saturday. A pump was broken (but not marked), it would only pump about $.07 worth of gas at time. After doing this twice, I went inside told the attendant, who told me to move to another pump. When I put in my card it was denied, BIG PROBLEM as I was traveling and needed it later. I pushed my bike out of the way, spent 15 minutes with them to find out it wasn't Visa/Chase, but the gas station itself. Gas stations have the ability to lockout your credit card from being used over and over again to protect themselves from liability of having stolen cards being used over and over again at the same pump (ala Winona Ryder in Reality Bites). When I walked back into the station, it took the attendant 10 minutes to override the block to allow it to work - 5 minutes to talk to her manager 5 minutes to find the button on the system to over. She had to get authorization and was new to the station. I was pissed about the whole deal. I spent 30 minutes in a gas station for 3 bucks of gas and it wasn't anyone's fault but the gas station itself. However, now I know about it. If I had just paid with another credit card or with cash, I could have gone about my business and there wouldn't have been any problems. I was unaware that the Speed Pass locked more $$ that what was actually used on your credit/debit card. However, I can see it being done to make sure they get paid. This doesn't thrill me and I will probably never get one now, but at least know I know....... Jason I.

Not because it's a way to get gas, but because it's a different form of the credit card. Soon you will be able to use them at drive through fast food places, and I'm sure other places will follow. The speedpass doesn't get scratched off or demagnetized like a credit card. Card readers will eventually be able to read legacy credit cards, smart chip credit cards, and transponders (like the speed pass) all in the same machine. Mobil/Exxon are just showing the world that people like it. It's about to hit the big time and show up everywhere, at all vendors. Vendors like it because they have the option to save transaction fees by accumulate charges for a user until a set value has been reached, say $25, and then charge one transaction fee. That way, the vendor can avoid the credit card processing fee for each transaction (this is for places like mcdonalds where you buy $5 each time, making many transactions for small amounts), and you don't have a laundry list of piddly little charges on your credit card statement.

In addition to The Post, try looking at: http://www.cycletrader.com http://www.classifieds2000.com/cgi-cls/display.exe?partner=Excite&path=Auto~Motorcycle~Search http://pages.ebay.com/ebaymotors/browse/Motorcycles.html FWIW, I picked up my '93 FZR600 "track bike with lights" on eBay for ~$3K (not including shipping costs from Colorado to here). Cosmetically fine. Good suspension upgrades (Race Tech springs and emulators in the forks, Fox Shox twin clicker rear shock). As well as other "stuff" such as a full race exhaust (D&D), stage one jetting, front fork brace (just to name a few). So if you're willing to hunt around, you can definitely find some pretty good bargains out there for "old" 600cc sportbikes. Enjoy the hunt!

In Maryland, the state is way behind in serving up sufficient MSF Classes. Last night in Waldorf, 12 people were signed up for a class of 12. Six people showed up hoping to get in on stand-by. Of the 12 on the list, one didn't show up at all, another showed up 10 minutes late. The person who showed up late was not admitted to the class, the $100 payment will not be refunded, no additional classes are available, score Maryland $100, student -$100, no training and no recourse. Two of the six standbys were admitted to the class. Last nights results are not atypical. Charging people for teaching motorcycle riding is considered a business in Maryland. Businesses must be licensed. Anyone who wishes to operate a motorcycle safety school must obtain a license similar to the way in which driver training schools must be licensed. With one exception, Maryland does not have a procedure for licensing motorcycle safety schools, but they do have a procedure for shutting down unlicensed schools. Maryland will not recognize the training provided by the Motorcycle Safety Schools in any other State. Leon. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Seriously though, I really have a distaste for political correctness when simple courtesy and civility would do just fine. I've always been suspicious about the motivations of individuals or groups that insist that other individuals or groups deserve some special treatment based solely on their race, religion, sexual orientation, sex, etc. What are they really after anyway? That was a rhetorical question Sean! Live and let live. It's really that simple. As for Daves depiction of service station attendants as smelly, unintelligible dowry seeking types, well that's just his type-cast of those low-lifes ;-) Mine on the other hand is they're rotund, straw chewing, John-Deere hat wearing good ole boys with lotsa ass crack happening. Of course, I try to do most of my riding well west of DC where they don't always have a pay-at-pump option so I've got no choice but to interact with.....THEM! :-) Oh, and I've never had a problem in my extended travels on a bike using pay at the pump with my credit card. The original message about the blocking is the first time I've ever heard of it. Even so, I just sent a note to my bank inquirying about it.

We went there several years ago when the Canadian dollar was worth about 60 American cents. Shopping was the main reason we went. We bought clothes and shoes and antiques -- even an antique dining room set. When we went to check out of our hotel we found that my "big" credit card was "blocked". Of course we had already spent about $10,000 Canadian on it! I called the bank when we couldn't check out and the bank told me they had called our house in DC, but NOBODY answered! I responded: DUH, I wonder why.... could it have been that we were spending all our money in Montreal?! Really? they asked... at that point they had only two transactions for a total of less than $500.00! Here is the real kicker: The only reason they canceled the card was because the transactions were made in Montreal! Someone could have stolen the card in DC and spent $20,000.00 without any trouble at all! I had to use another card to check out. I got lots of nasty letters from annoyed French Canadian shopkeepers (who weren't yet using automated systems). Eventually all the merchants got paid and I got a formal apology letter from the head of the Navy Federal Credit Union.

Then when a merchant tries to charge to it, he gets a message to call in. Eventually, they transfer you to the fraud detection section, ask the merchant to describe the customer, then ask you to get on the phone and answer a few questions to confirm your identity. Then they open up the card again, and no troubles for the rest of the trip. It happened to us in Wales this April -- charged a leather moto jacket, a flip-face helmet, another thousand bucks of stuff, and a $1500 rental car deposit before they finally rejected a $25 charge in a bookstore. After the phone calls, all was well. -- Larry From dc-cycles-request Fri Aug 10 17:21:10 2001 Return-Path: Received: from web14609.mail.yahoo.com (web14609.mail.yahoo.com [216.136.224.241]) by dirty.meretrix.com (8.10.0/8.10.0) with SMTP id f7ALL9620417 for ; Fri, 10 Aug 2001 17:21:09 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <20010810211428.64301.qmail@web14609.mail.yahoo.com> Received: from [168.103.161.58] by web14609.mail.yahoo.com; Fri, 10 Aug 2001 14:14:28 PDT Date: Fri, 10 Aug 2001 14:14:28 -0700 (PDT) From: Tom Gimer Subject: Re: Maryland MSF Classes To: John Germuga , dc-cycles@XXXXXX In-Reply-To: <20010810174046.67741.qmail@web10903.mail.yahoo.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii --- John Germuga wrote: > Gimer, > > Any word on garage space in Bethesda?

"Thank you for your message. With an ATM card the merchant directly debits your account for only the amount due and no "block" is placed on the account. With credit cards the merchant will obtain an authorization for the amount due and nothing more. The authorization basically puts the funds on hold until the actual charge slip is received. When the charge slip is received by the bank then the charge is applied to the account and the authorization is released. Occasionally, the authorization amount will not exactly match the final charge amount causing the authorization hold to linger on the account. However, this is very rare and the hold will fall off within two weeks if no matching charge is received." So, how did this go again? The service station is "Blocking" your card for more money than you actually needed credit for? I gotta say, Toro Caca! A pay-at-pump service is still a point of presence sale. I mean, you agreed to pay the measily $5-$10 for your gas. The credit card will be charged ONLY that. As for the guy who had a problem with the service station (two times and then a hold on authorization), that is completely understandable and legitimate retail practice. Like if you walked in and your card failed a couple times...push off!

That, and the fact that 30 lbs of mass rotating at a high rate of speed opposite and off-center to the bike's CoG has a mean gyroscopic effect.

Please print, post, distribute and forward this information to motorcycle enthusiasts and area shops and as you see fit. This event, for those unfamiliar with the Pocono Cycle Jam, is a Professional Motorcycle Road Race for those competitors competing toward the national title in Formula USA classes. (go to www.formulausa.com for more information) Safety crew workers are needed all four days...Thursday Aug 23, Friday Aug 24, Saturday Aug 25, and Sunday Aug 26. Workers will be given $50 per day worked plus a free pass to the race track. Though we would like to encourage people to work as many days as possible, we also would accept anyone who is willing to only work one day or two days. The situation is that we need about 50 people per day to adequately staff the corner working stations. The primary positions include radio operators, flaggers and pick up crews for those unfortunate few racers that may fall. This is a great way to be involved and up close with motorcycle superbike racing and meet some of the top riders in the country. Camping is available at the track and there are also many vendors and related activities. Anyone who is interested please respond, preferably by email with your name and phone number and which days you can work. Once the information has been compiled a follow up e-mail (or phone call if necessary) will be provided with more specific details. Suggested wearing apparel for the safety crew duties is full length cotton pants, white is preferred but blue jeans or slacks are acceptable and a white long or short sleeved cotton shirt. Because the corner working positions are outdoors, having rain gear, a hat for the sun, sun screen and a cooler is a good idea. Also, please avoid wearing clothing or hats that are red or yellow, as these are the colors of the primary warning flags. Please feel free to e-mail if you have any questions, Thanks for your interest, Dave Tom Fitzpatrick CCS#80'6 (www.celticracing.com) Sponsors: *Fast Lane Cycles - fastlanecycles@XXXXXX (703)818-8890 (www.fastlanecycles.com)* *Barnacle Bill's Racing Leathers - barnacle@XXXXXX (www.racingleather.com)* *Nuts and Bolts Racing Racer Web Sites - rchapin@XXXXXX (www.nbracesites.com)* *Janet Bell TAX Preparation, Accounting and Consulting (belljan@XXXXXX)* From dc-cycles-request Sat Aug 11 14:36:16 2001 Return-Path: Received: from spaw1.hq.af.mil (spaw1.hq.af.mil [134.205.190.73]) by dirty.meretrix.com (8.10.0/8.10.0) with ESMTP id f7BIaG613131 for ; Sat, 11 Aug 2001 14:36:16 -0400 (EDT) Received: from cais.com (adsl-138-88-63-25.dc.adsl.bellatlantic.net [138.88.63.25]) by spaw1.hq.af.mil (AIX4.3/8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id OAA34466 for ; Sat, 11 Aug 2001 14:33:02 -0400 Message-ID: <3B757B2C.AD5E914B@cais.com> Date: Sat, 11 Aug 2001 14:36:28 -0400 From: Jim Shoemaker X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.78 [en] (WinNT; U) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: dc-cycles@XXXXXX Subject: FS: Belstaff "Interceptor" Jacket Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Size US 42, Black partially perf'd leather.

If you go into the station to pay you do indeed agree to pay a set amount, the total sale. If the pump asks "How much" and you type in an amount, then you agree to pay a set amount. BUT! When you slide your card at the pump for a fill up _You have agreed to NO set amount_ The pump has no way of knowing how much you are going to use, or for that matter what you are driving, a motor home or a moped, the only way the station can be sure that there is enough available on you account is to put a block (lets use that word "hold" block seems to be causing confusion.) on enough to pay for whatever fuel you MAY buy. No one is being crooked here, it is just the only way they have of being assured of payment. The problem is the delay in "refunding" the unused amount. On a bike with a small tank this can result in a lot of cash being unavailable when needed. >The service station is "Blocking" your card for > more money than you actually needed credit for? I gotta say, Toro Caca! I am sorry but the problem exists! Denying it serves no function whatsoever. I put up my call to the bank to find out what the hell was going on as well as a consumer report from a few years ago against your e-mail to someone who had no clue anytime. The primary advantage of a list like this is the free exchange of information and help. Biting someone on the ass who is trying to help is counterproductive I have ridden something in the neighborhood of a _half a million miles_ on bikes, ridden in 47 states and into Canada, spent 8 years as a full time professional motorcycle mechanic and a year selling the damn things, I have a lot to contribute to this list.

If you think this mailing list is bad, try the Usenet group alt.motorcycles.sportbike. I'm starting to think it's something about the general personalities of people who choose to ride on sportbikes in particular. I'll tell you this: when I put in most of my miles on a Magna, I found Harley people to be generally more pleasant than riders on Japanese sportbikes.

Just wanted to point out here that John is absolutly correct. The pump communicates with your bank *before* you pump a cent of gas (That part where it flashes "authorizing" on the little screen) and puts a Hold on X amount of funds - an amount they have come up with to minimize loss (i.e. if someone is pumping more gas than they have credit available). Depending on how the station then handles things, the actual amount of money might not be transferred and the hold released until an end-of-day batch is done. If you're close to your credit limit, this is going to create a problem. I've also had the SpeedPass itself balk at multiple uses, not related to CC credit limit, but that was a while back when they first started with it... I think they had a # of uses limit which isn't there anymore as I've not run into a problem since. - Roach From dc-cycles-request Sat Aug 11 17:20:27 2001 Return-Path: Received: from pop2 (pop2.radix.net [207.192.128.48]) by dirty.meretrix.com (8.10.0/8.10.0) with ESMTP id f7BLKQ615729 for ; Sat, 11 Aug 2001 17:20:27 -0400 (EDT) Received: from Smurfslayer (p25.a3.du.radix.net [207.192.130.25]) by pop2 (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id RAA18947; Sat, 11 Aug 2001 17:20:19 -0400 (EDT) From: "Dave Yates" To: , Subject: RE: Pay at the pump...More!

As for your credit union, they failed to understand the question, or you failed to understand the problem. > pay-at-pump service is still a point of presence sale. I mean, you _agreed > to pay_ the measily $5-$10 for your gas. The credit card will be charged > ONLY that. Actually, I don't think it is. Because you don't sign for it like you do when you go inside (yeah, yeah, how would i know...) ;-) When you sign for the 'merchandise', that is a 'point of presence' sale, right ? How much $$$ are the stations 'holding' against the card ? ...lets use that word "hold" block seems to be causing confusion.) on enough to pay for whatever fuel you MAY buy. No one is being crooked here, it is just the only way they have of being assured of payment. The problem is the delay in "refunding" the unused amount. It would then seem to me that it would be time to check my card agreement. Let's say for example, you ride up on your EX 250, slide the gas card, which only has a paltry $250 limit. If you just got gas yesterday, you're asserting it could get blocked.... FWIW, last summer I rode every day, rain, sleet, shine because my car was in the crapper.... my trip to & from was 112 miles, my estimated maximum range based on mileage I was getting was 220, so I stopped every morning for gas. Not being enlightened, and since it was zero dark hundred, I used the local Texaco's card swipe at the pump with my Texaco card and AMEX towards the summer's end. Not once was I denied, or 'blocked'.... Is it selective ? only certain stations, certain cards ? Seriously, my cc bill was reading like a novel... lots of 4 & 5 dollar charges... The primary advantage of a list like this is the free exchange of information and help. Hey, and let's not forget the entertaining flame fests !

(I already have a DC driver's license and motorcycle permit.) Then you can take it anywhere it's offered. I took it at PG college, I hear that Alexandria (location?) will take wal ons and isn't as difficult to get into... 2) Do you believe that a 2001 Yamaha FZ1 is took much of a bike for a beginning rider like myself?? Normally, I'd say no that it would be counterproductive to buy a beater, lose money & buy a bike you'll be happy with, but in this case I'd say yes, it's too much - too much money to lose if you wad it... too much chance to get into trouble. Get a beater bike 1st. It doesn't have to be a low displacement beater, but get a used bike. If you *really gotta* have a sport bike, get one that's real popular, with lots of stuff available for it - H*nda 600 Fn (n = 2,3,4) for example. It really comes down to how much self discipline & respect (for the machine & it's capabilities) that you *really* have. If you're fond of wheelies, burn outs, launches, etc... If you're intrigued or fascinated or obsessed with speed, yes, it's too much bike. If you do have enough discipline to respect the machine's ability & know that you're nowhere near capable of harnessing it, then maybe you can handle it... IF you're careful. Liter bike, or whatever you get, I'd get a used bike 1st. They're cheaper, easier to insure etc... Your comments are much appreciated and can be sent directly to me at the email above. Actually I posted this to the list because most of them will likely have comments or responses to what I said. Traditional wisdom is that you should not get a big or newer machine as a beginner, and it's a valid argument. OTOH, I got my ZX 11 with just more than a year of riding, and I've not been down, because I respected my bikes power and handling (or lack thereof)... Before making your decision, take a look at what opinions are given here, and make an honest assessment of what best fits your situation. Good luck, let us know what you decide...

Well, first, a shaft, when spun at as many RPM's as a normal sport bike revs, will tend to deform due to the high torque. Over time, the metal gets twisted and can get out of alignment, which can cause handling problems. Chains don't have this problem. Chains also mean that transmissions on sport bikes won't slip if you use synthetic oils like Mobile 1. Course, if you use traditional dinosaur juice, and then you use synthetic stuffs, you run the risk of viscosity breakdown issues at the higher compression ratio seen in most sport bikes. Harleys, which have automatic oil release valves at several strategic locations on the crankcase, don't suffer from any of these problems, so tend to use what ever sort of drive will look the best and offer the most surface area for chrome. Chrome, of course, makes you go faster, which, as we all know, is the whole point of having a motorcycle.

Just let the bike work itself out and don't do ANYTHING abruptly (easier said than done). I've read through all the messages talking about how a tank-slapper is this, and a "wobble" is that, etc.... I have to say, I'm glad you all can determine the difference, because I can't when I'm pulling over 90mph out of a corner and all hell breaks loose with the front end. We use stick-on wheel weights on our steering stops for protection against tank-slap and crash damage (The lead acts as a nice, crushable absorption material, keeps you from having the stops snap off the frame). I've had tank slappers that hammered the lead weights flat on both sides of the steering stop (i.e. full-lock to full-lock), and I didn't crash. I'd definatly call that a tank slapper, and it is not an "unsavable" condition. You just relax and let the bike steady itself. Fear combined with human reaction time generally causes you to roll out of the throttle (your brain is trying to comprehend what the hell is going on because it's happening so fast). That's all you CAN do. If you're holding on too tight, you'll know because you'll get yanked up out of the seat and off the pegs (usually followed by a sliding sound) :) - Roach From dc-cycles-request Sat Aug 11 21:36:13 2001 Return-Path: Received: from smtp012.mail.yahoo.com (smtp012.mail.yahoo.com [216.136.173.32]) by dirty.meretrix.com (8.10.0/8.10.0) with SMTP id f7C1aC619650 for ; Sat, 11 Aug 2001 21:36:12 -0400 (EDT) Received: from pool180-4.patriot.net (HELO therock) (209.249.180.4) by smtp.mail.vip.sc5.yahoo.com with SMTP; 12 Aug 2001 01:36:09 -0000 X-Apparently-From: Message-ID: <003201c122ce$ffa69880$0100a8c0@therock> From: "Chris Weaver" To: "Andrew Davidson" , References: <20010811203921.3977.qmail@web5202.mail.yahoo.com> Subject: Re: Questions from a beginning cyclist Date: Sat, 11 Aug 2001 21:34:56 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2615.200 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2615.200 Andrew, Welcome to motorcycling! Most areas have MSF programs, so look where you live first. Go to the Motorcycle Safety Foundation's website (www.msf-usa.org) and also call toll free (800) 446-9227 to find out where you can go to take the class. I have to warn you that most classes around D.C. are booked up months in advance. Your chances of finding one nearby this year are slim at best. Your best bet is if you're willing to travel a bit. By "a bit" I mean an hour or more outside of D.C. into Maryland or Virginia. You can conceivably go to a class near you and do "stand by" in the hopes that someone doesn't show up for the class that night. This can be a frustrating way to do it though. Good luck in your search. I would have to say that the FZ-1 is probably more bike than you want to get right now. The main problems for you at this time is its size, weight, and power. It's a pretty big bike and it's very likely you'll drop it once or twice moving around in parking lots. This is a tragedy for someone who's just gone and bought their dream bike. It's also got a lot more power than you can really get your head around. You'd probably end up either using only a tiny fraction of the available power due to fear or getting yourself into a panic-inducing situation due to a lack thereof. You'll enjoy yourself more if you feel you're able to put the machine to good use. For this, I'd recommend A) a used bike so those parking lot dumps will be less emotionally painful, B) a lighter bike to keep those dumps to a minimum, and C) a less powerful bike so that you can feel like it's working for a living instead of simply putting up with you. Bikes that fit these requirements (and also have minimal bodywork to damage) could be - Yamaha Seca II (600cc), Suzuki Bandit 600, Kawasaki EX500, Suzuki GS500e, Honda CB-1 (fun 400cc but hard to find), Honda Hawk 650 (cult classic), or Suzuki Bandit 400. Since you like the FZ-1, you should find a bike or two in this list that you find attractive. Most of these bikes will also be cheap, i.e. less than $2000, and they hold their value well now that they are a few years old. These bikes all have plenty of horsepower for highway riding and can all be a lot of fun in the twisties. You will learn a lot more quickly on a smaller bike, because you will feel more comfortable while you get familiar with your limits and it will be easier to manouever, both in slow-speed and high-speed turns. This may sound like a lot to take in, but you're a new rider and are probably soaking up whatever knowledge you can get your synapses around. :^) Feel free to ask questions on this mailing list - don't worry about asking a "dumb" question. You may get a few useless responses, but you will mostly find genuine, honest, friendly advice. We need as many good motorcyclists out there as we can get!

The authorization amount is a hold against the credit limit for the $1.00. This typically stays on the account until the actual charges are settled electronically by the gas station. Both charges are from Hess, but it is the same for other stations as well as my Mobile Speedpass. In certain situations, an estimate of the expense will get authorized and withheld from your credit limit. A good example is a multi-day hotel stay. On presenting your card on check-in, the estimate for the full stay will get authorized. At the end of the stay, the actual charges will be submitted and will clear the authorization credit hold. For fraud prevention, all transactions are scrutinized by neural software. They learn your typical spending patterns and alert fraud detection if something is unusual. Sometimes, this is a good thing if your card is actually stolen. The bank issuer can detect unusual activity and block future transactions immediately. Usually this is a pain in the ass when you travel and spend money, the account can temporarily be blocked. If so, call your bank prior to your trip to let them know to expect charges from Bangkok (they will note your account for the fraud people) or if denied a purchase, call from the merchant for immediate resolution. There should be an 800 number and a regular number to call collect on the back of the card. I have had to call from Korea to clear my account. Be sure to always use your MasterCard.

You don't know how much you actually will use the bike until you've got one. And you don't want to hurt yourself too bad before you know you like it. I went even smaller. I bought a very lightly used Kawasaki 1988 EL-250 abut 10 years ago when I got back into motorcycling. I have a 29 inseam and wanted to be able to put both feet on the ground flat footed. I kept it for about a year and a half, put 10,000 miles on it, then sold it for only $200 less than what I bought it for. It was easy to handle. I got my VA endorsement by reviewing the VA motorcycling saftey handbook and practicing around the 'hood. Since you have to supply your own bike, you might as well supply an easy riding one. Oh, you supposedly can't ride it to the test yourself, although I know quite a few who have! I took both the written and riding "test" without taking any classes. Once I got my licence I rode that thing as much as I could AND took the VA course offered through NOVA. HAVE FUN!!!!

Chains are cheaper and lighter. With a chain its possible to easily change top end speed and torque characteristics by changing sprocket sizes. They are perfect for low mileage sport bikes that may be used for racing and where manufacturers are trying to reduce weight and increase profit. Since most sport bikes are ridden less than 2,500 miles a year the owner probably won't care that the chain should be cleaned, oiled and checked for adjustment every 500 miles and replaced every 10,000-20,000 miles. On the other hand most REAL tour, and many of the better sport-tour, bikes have shaft drive. Riders who put 500 miles on a bike in a day and 10-15,000 miles a year don't want to be oiling and adjusting a chain as much as every day on a trip and spending $200 on a new set of sprockets and chains every year! Those who claim that they experience rear end lifting from a shaft are probably only letting their imagination get to them or there is something really wrong with the shaft. I've had both. I think chains are better for real sport bikes and racers. Shafts are better for those who tour and commute. So what kind of biking are you doing? I do suggest that that if you have chain drive you also have a center stand. It makes chain maintenance easier.

I have a real sport tourer (one of the better ones if you ask me) and it is chain driven. Try finding a shaft to fit your bike in the middle of WVA. Can't be done quickly. Any decent bike shop will have a chain to fit. I have a scott oiler on my bike. A couple presses on a button at low speed and the chain is oiled. As far as adjusting the chain I have only adjusted it once when I changed tires. I check my sprockets too. no wear. The minimal amount of maintenance on a chain does not make it less attractive that a shaft. Shafts are heavy, expensive, and awkward for do it yourselfers.

Which on my PC-800 was OK. For a superslab, I-81 through PA to Syracuse NY is kind of fun in spots, plus I know some fun roads around the Finger Lakes once I got there. But are there any more curvy and fun rides through PA that wind up in the eastern Finger Lakes, southwest of Syracuse? I tried PA's Rts 309, 209 and 443 in PA. Rt 309 takes you thru the most congested, small, ugly, depressed, coal towns I've ever seen in my life. Rt 209 was too straight, and then it was blocked (with no detour signs!). Rt 443 is rather nice but short and ends at Rt 81. Any suggestions for a route thru PA that is any real fun?

Thats like replacing the drive shaft on a car?! Do you know what you would have to do do to your motorcycle that you would EVER HAVE to replace a shaft? I know folks who've ridden shaft bikes for a over 100,000 miles, who've never replaced a shaft. For my bike I have to lube the spleens at every rear tire change, add gear oil when I change the oil every 4,000 miles, change it every 24,000 miles and thats it.... But in my opinion the Triumph Trophy is NOT a very good tourer out of the box. The fact that you had to install an oiler proves it. A SPORT-tour bike, with the accent on sport, it is... . I've ridden it. It was not comfy (for me) for more than 100 miles. Its a sport bike with nice rear bags and a better than average fairing. I've heard that Triumph has not been able to work out the engineering for a shaft drive. But for me they'd have to change the ergos before that bike was a sport-tour bike. I've ridden the Honda ST-1100 and the Trophy, the PC-800 and a few others. I liked the Trophy, but found that my hands got numb. Have you ever really ridden that thing 500 to 1,000 miles a day for several days in a row? I know my butt couldn't do it....

And out of the box your right about the ergos but genmar risers and a corbin take care of that.The fact that I installed an oiler has nothing to with the bike being a good sport/tourer or not. I don't know of a bike that comes with an oiler. And I would never need a shaft for my bike in West Virginia because I don't have one. As long as the chain and sprockets are maintained (which takes a little more time than your maintenance)the chain is better than the shaft because you can adjust gear ratios, it weighs less, costs less to replace, and is easier to repair.

Shaft-drives don't just suddenly fail, or blow up. As my father pointed out, he has 66,000 miles on his shaft driven GSX1100G. From what I can determine, the Trophy makes the same amount of power (if not a little less!), so obivously a shaftie can handle the strain. And as many other listers can attest, many of those miles were not spent tooling around at 55 mph in a straight line. > Can't be done quickly. Any decent bike shop will have a chain to fit. How many "decent bike shop" are there in the "middle of WVA"? There is NOTHING in the middle of WVA. That's why people like to ride there. >I have a scott oiler on my bike. A couple presses on a button >at low speed and the chain is oiled. A Scott-oiler doesn't keep a chain from stretching. And that's what chains do under normal usage. Stretch. (Among other things. >As far as adjusting the chain I have only adjusted it once when >I changed tires.

"Mininmal" is not the word most often associated with chains. Most manuals typically suggest adjusting the chain every 500 miles. Now, I've never owned a Triumph, so they might have longer adjustment intervals. But I would bet the cost of a chain that if you've only ever adjust your chain once, it's out of adjustment now. >Shafts are heavy, expensive, and awkward for do it yourselfers. Agreed, they can be awkward to work with. But it's more likely that you're engine will die before the shaft drive does! -- "For man, maximum excitement is the confrontation of death and the skillful defiance of it." -Ernest Becker (1924-1974) Sean Jordan Jordan Racing / DC-Cycles Racing '93 Honda CBR1000F (Street) '90 Yamaha FZR400 (Race) WERA #779 / CCS #778 / MARRC member #3038 http://www.angelfire.com/mac/eternity23/jordanracing.html From dc-cycles-request Mon Aug 13 12:55:57 2001 Return-Path: Received: from smtp02.mrf.mail.rcn.net (smtp02.mrf.mail.rcn.net [207.172.4.61]) by dirty.meretrix.com (8.10.0/8.10.0) with ESMTP id f7DGtv627369 for ; Mon, 13 Aug 2001 12:55:57 -0400 (EDT) Received: from 66-44-114-204.s204.tnt9.lnhdc.md.dialup.rcn.com ([66.44.114.204] helo=palladio1) by smtp02.mrf.mail.rcn.net with smtp (Exim 3.32 #2) id 15WL0J-00038E-00 for dc-cycles@XXXXXX; Mon, 13 Aug 2001 12:55:51 -0400 Message-ID: <01a901c12418$d8e3b020$bb82fea9@palladio1> From: "Paul Wilson" To: "dc-cycles list" Subject: U-Boat ride across WV (long-part 1) Date: Mon, 13 Aug 2001 12:53:48 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2615.200 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2615.200 Here's an account of my thousand-mile weekend trip, with a few lessons learned interspersed. I've been blessed so far on my long-distance trips of having good weather. My luck ran out this weekend on a trip to visit my folks in Ohio. I planned a route to hit the maximum twisties in WV and Ohio and I enticed a friend from Virginia to join me on the way out. On Friday we headed to Seneca Rocks on route 55 and then worked west to Philippi on routes 33, 72 and 38. On 72 it started to rain, lightly, but every corner was strewn with gravel and some cases sticky red mud, which ranks somewhere between ice and diesel fuel in slipperiness. For a state highway, 72 is a very poor road, with no centerlines or shoulders and seemingly little maintenance. After regaining good pavement and leaving the rain behind, we had a pretty fast romp over to Clarksburg, where we picked up route 20, which offers non-stop twisties and sweepers all the way to the Ohio River. In the dry and with little traffic, this promised to be a fun and fast ride. It was not to be. Somewhere in the middle, cars in the opposing lanes started flashing their lights and then a fire-fighter appeared with an orange flag. "Can't let ya through, wires down. No telling when the power company will be here." I spotted a smoking power pole in the distance. He muttered something about a detour. The skies blackened. I thought about donning my rain gear. Which brings me to Lesson #1. If you have the slightest inkling you need your rain gear, PUT YOUR RAIN GEAR ON. Sorry to shout. But we were rushed because the vehicles behind us were turning around to lead the detour. Having only an auto club map, I had not a clue how to navigate the back roads in area, so we hurriedly mounted up and followed the other vehicles, straight into a deluge. Needless to say perfed leathers ward off a hard rain for about a second. Then it turned into a muddy deluge as we left the highway and turned on to a rutted, muddy mess of road which climbed over two ridges, complete with hair-raising hairpin turns. Pavement was undetermined. I think it was a gravel road, but all I saw was mud and torrents of water. Of course, the VFR is hardly the best mount for such conditions, but somehow I managed to keep her upright with careful throttle control and rear brake application. The worst part was not being able to see through rain-streaked faceshield and steamed up glasses. After what seemed like an eternity we reached pavement again. My riding companion headed back to the DC area and I continued into Ohio. Southeast Ohio lives up to its billing and I plotted a course on some wonderfully twisty roads. My enthusiasm was dampened a bit by the generous piles of gravel, mud and debris that the storm had washed onto the road. I engaged some serious sphincter pucker on one corner which was covered by muddy slop. You have to read the pavement ahead very carefully for anything that looks "off." Lesson #2: Highway crews usually put up signs for a reason. Case in point: "Road subject to flooding" said the sign. Mental note: look for water. OK, water spotted, looks like a shallow puddle. Slow a little. FOOM!! I hit a foot deep stretch of water at about 35 to 40 mph. Boots instantly fill with water through the open vents. Water plumes up over my head. By chance I had had the presence of mind to stop in the last town to finally put on rain gear after my leathers dried a little from the last episode. OK, don't panic, downshift... downshift damn it (engine please don't stall) and ride through. Engine doesn't stall, my heart nearly jumps out of my chest, but I keep moving and stay upright. I guess the VFR's electricals are very well waterproofed. I finally pulled up at my parents house, after covering almost 500 miles and some of those were very hard work. I arrived pretty tired, but also with a sense of accomplishment. My skills had been tested that day and in unexpected ways. Corner-strafing on dry, smooth pavement was relatively easy by comparison to some of that stuff. Stay tuned for part two, the even wetter ride back to DC.

After spending Saturday relaxing, visiting and doing *chain maintenance* ;) I prepared to head back to DC on Sunday. The forecast was ominous with flood warnings in the mountains. Leave it to the Weather Service and the Weather Channel to describe the movement of moist tropical air masses in excruciating detail, even though there's not a damn thing you can do about it. Oh well, time to don the rain gear and get going, knowing it was going to rain all day, and how. I rode about thirty miles before it really started coming down with gusto. I rode with a group of four Harley riders for a little bit, some two-up, some without rain gear, some without helmets, Ohio being a helmet-optional state. The temperature was about 70 and I was borderline cold in soaked gloves, dry leathers and rain suit. They were getting very wet and very cold and their speed seemed to verify that. I passed them with a friendly wave. I didn't see any other bikers for two hundred miles, and they were Wingers who gave we a big wave. I motored on and the rain would slacken for a bit, then pick up again. I forgot to put in ear plugs at one stop and the noise of the rain on the helmet became unbearable, so I pulled into a gas station with a large canopy. I continued on traveling on some beautiful roads, including Ohio 260 between Caldwell and New Matamoras. Gotta do that one again when it's dry. A wild turkey ran out in front of me on the road, but those things can really run and luckily he scooted safely out of the way. I crossed the Ohio River into W.Va. on the Fly-Sistersville ferry, which shaved about twenty miles off my route. I was determined to run WV Rt. 20 again and it was fun, although very wet with gravel and mud, and the occasional butt slow cager with nowhere to pass. This time the plan was to pick up US 50 across the remainder of the state and the western tip of Maryland, in lieu of Friday's route. Again it was with rain oscillating between drizzle and downpour, with heavy fog at the higher elevations. East of Grafton Rt. 50 is a nice wide road with lots of twisties and three major ascents and descents. I made the best of the situation. Speed was not an option, due to the inevitability of debris on the road, so I concentrated on being smooth with the gears and seamlessly managing the brake to throttle transitions, all the while being vigilant for any change in the pavement texture that could spell trouble. This sort of mental activity (90% of motorcycling as they say) helped me to stay alert under the constant mind-numbing sizzle of tires on wet pavement and the drumbeat of rain on the helmet. Actually the twisties help you stay focused. I find being on the super-slab, eating 18-wheeler mist, in the rain, to be the absolute worst. The VFR and the D205s handled well without complaint all day, although wet hands, clammy leathers and damp feet were starting to get a little old. After ten hours of that, partially due to lots of breaks, I finally rolled into DC, longing for a hot shower and hot meal. It had been another 450 miles in the saddle and the bike was dirty, but none the worse for wear. I'm ready to hit WV again, maybe some sunshine next time would be nice.

Ok, Beemers have had some QC problems lately, and I know of exactly one 150,000 Goldwing that needed a new rear end (he rides two up a lot, towing a trailer). Wait, one guy on the Connie list complained about needing a new shaft drive.

Since very, very few riders will either wear out an engine or a shaft drive, stats are hard to come by. Lots of us, however, have replaced chains & sprockets.

Except for once a year oil changes shafts are maintenance free. Shafts are heavier and rob the bike of some back wheel horsepower, however the are a virtually indestructable final drive mechanism. If your main concern is performance, you want a chain drive. If your main concern longevity and no-fuss maintenance, you probably would prefer a shaft drive.

I've put about half of my total mileage on bikes with chains, the other half on bikes with shaft drive. Currently I ride bikes with chain drive. I like the advantage of being able to change the drive ratio, but other than that, I'd rather have a shaft drive. Shaft drives sometimes have spline problems, one should check and lube the splines both on the driveshaft and the wheel (it may not have splines there - depends on the design) before leaving for on a long trip. I also had a seal failure once. The seal failure would have ended the trip had I been on one. Chain failures usually happen with less notice. I thought I had a good chain when I left on my trip last month, but two weeks later I discovered it wasn't good enough. Chains are generally available, so it was replaced in the middle of the trip. I was carrying an extra front sprocket (to change gear ratios) and installed that with the new chain. Next trip, I carry a chain and two sprockets along. If either chain or shaft was always better than the other, it would have a 100% market share. Buy the bike that does what you want it to do, there is no perfect bike and there is no perfect way to get the power to the rear wheel. If there was, we'd all have that bike instead of what we have. Leon. Touring and commuting with a Ninja ZX6 and two EX250s. None of them are perfect, but they are cheap. --- Trey Herb wrote: > My chain is not nor has it ever been for very long > out > of adjustment.

So you telling me that you've spent at least $500.00 to get the sport-tour bike really tour ready? Oh, I do agree that chains weigh less, cost less (to buy) and allow for easy sprocket re-sizing. As for reliability... your deceiving yourself. If you keep that Trophy for 50,000 miles you should have changed that chain and sprocket between 4 (if lucky) and 5 times. If you don't, then you should expect that chain to break, jam up inside the front sprocket housing and leave you on the side of your favorite WVA road with a cell phone that's out of range. If your really lucky you'll be picking grass out of the cracks in the fairing as you pick it up from the ditch too... because somehow the chain jammed the rear sprocket. Been there. Smaller bike, no fairing. NO FUN, hence chain driven bike. Anyway, I don't know anyone who's had a bad shaft on a motorcycle built in the last 20 years. But then I can wait until Triumph tries one. TEEEE HEEEEE!!!! ;-) Hmmm... Exactly how many miles do you have on that Trophy? If you put 5,000 miles on it a year I'm very impressed. I do over 12,000 on my originally equipped PC-800 (no options). Have you done more than one 400+ mile day on it in a row? Most folks find that they can do one 400-800 mile day, maybe two in a row, but its the third when they die of butt, back and leg cramps and find that they are spending $200-400 on seats, risers, "touring" pegs, etc, etc. But ergos are not the same as the original topic: shaft drive vs chain. I say that sport bikes use chains for many very good reasons. But bikes that call themselves sport-tourers are likely to get taken on long trips where the cost weight savings and flexibility of changing sprockets are well outweighed by the maintenance savings and proven reliability of the shaft. Again I know of no-one who has ever had to repair or replace a shaft driven motorcycle. Drive shafts seldom fail one either cars or motorcycles. Motorcycle companies that sell chain driven sport-"tour" bikes are doing so because they can save money, its easy to engineer, and because so many riders don't have a clue how good shaft driven bikes have gotten. Hey can we start a belt thread next?

If this is a phenomenon of only Triumph Trophy riders. Then who are all these other people I see riding around with risers, aftermarket shield, givi top cases, highway pegs, oilers, spoilers, etc. What kind of seat do you have? --- Doug Allis wrote: > Huh?!

If you don't, then you should Put down the crack pipe, step away from the keyboard, and no one will get hurt. I regualrly get 25k+ miles from a chain and sprocket and that's because I'm pretty much of a slacker when it comes to maintenance. I've also done more back to back to back to back 400+ mile days on my sport- tourer then you can shake a stick at.

Keep it up. It sounds like you know what you are doing maintenance wise. You are now almost due for a chain and sprocket change though. The seat on my PC is original equipment Honda. Its only OK. Why did I slam Triumph? I didn't think I really was (yet)... but now that you mention it maybe I can do it better. I've ridden a few (new and old. I prefer the old). More importantly I talked to some of the folks who maintain them for a living (at a Triumph dealer no less). I was told that they are "much better than they used to be" (which sounded really, really really bad coming from a Triumph dealer trying to talk up his line), given a list of things to watch for... I was also told (and shown) that the maintenance schedule was more expensive..... valve adjustments, chain maintenance, tune up frequency and parts were all more costly on the Triumph than the Honda I currently own. But then I own a shaft driven bike that has self adjusting valves too. Oh no, another thread! Now for the obligatory slam: To me, a Triumph seems to have all the character of a Honda and all the engineering of.........hmmmmmmmm...... say,,,, a well built Harley!!! Hey! there's a SLAM FOR YA....!!! Heard that one before???? Maybe when those British biking engineering geniuses can figure out how to do a shaft drive.....!!!!

I've heard of this happening to more than one rider. Scary. It just seems to me that the typical chain&sprocket setup on todays bikes just isn't strong or durable enough. If chains could regularly go 100,000 miles with no stretch, no rusting, no lubing, no adjusting, no cleaning, no checking, and no breakage, then I'd probably not complain so loudly about them. I fully expect my motors to last 100,000 miles (and more), so why would I not expect that out of the rest of the vehicle? > But then I can wait until Triumph tries one. If Triumph comes out with a shafty sport-tourer, I'd really have to take a good long look at one. But as for right now, it's gonna take an exceptional combination of durability, price, power, handling, fuel economy, comfort, size, and weight to pry me off my Concours. -- Mandatory second line (CM tm) Dale Horstman - the.horkster@XXXXXX AWSHIDT #322 - 40 of 99 done.

Oh no, another thread! Ok, Doug did it. Started up a new unauthorized thread. :) Oh well, since he did, anybody got a complete list of new (or fairly new) bikes that have self-adjusting valves? Anybody wonder why there isn't much in the way of newer bikes with this wonderful maintenance-free type of motor?

Shafties are a lot easier to build when the engine crankshaft runs along the length of the bike, not side to side. Stands to reason there's somewhat of a power loss making two 90-degree bends with big ass gears in the power train instead of just one at the rear wheel. It seems to me, therefore, that the best application of shaft drive is on a transverse mounted engine. This favors certain engine configurations (like Moto-Guzzi's transverse mounted V-twin and Honda's CX500, not to mention the BMW boxer) but it makes other configurations more problematic, like a standard mounted V-twin, a V-4, or an in-line four. Try wrapping your legs around a transverse V-4. Unless it is carefully designed, the crankshaft can cause all sorts of problems, because it will twist the bike as it spins. Of course, chains do funky things to swingarms, but that's another story. And how about clutches. On a transverse design you usually have to drop the engine to change the clutch plates and springs. I've gravitated to chain drive on the bikes I've had more out of necessity than choice. I simply don't want a big touring bike or liter-class sport-tourer so chains it is. And no disrespect intended to Connie owners, but I've ridden one and didn't like it, it was just too ponderous for my taste and prefered riding style. I wouldn't mind owning a CX500 (non-turbo) though if I can find one in good shape. There's something about them I really like. I guess in the final analysis I don't find chains that much of headache, averaging 12-15K miles per year on a bike and riding in all weather. I gives me more quality time with the bike, even though adjusting the chain takes literally one minute on the VFR. For me the bottom line is "would I give up any of what the VFR offers in order to have a shaft final drive?" The answer is no, but as always YMMV.

Remove one small plastic panel and the oil cap. The oil filter is an external auto spin on Gold Wing part. The drain plug is in the usual expected place underneath. Again the PC was designed from ground up with very low maintenance in mind. The sparks (4) can be gotten to by removing two side vents. They need to be inspected (not replaced) every 8,000 miles. I have nearly 40,000 miles on mine. The only real hassles are getting to the air filter and battery. The air filter is inspected every 8,000 miles. The battery is a gell cel, no maintenance at all. Cost is now down to about $60.00. Mine has lasted 4 years (so far). I've had the carb synch checked twice. Both times it was within spec. No adjustment. One things for sure... this bike is a whole lot easier to clean than any other bike on the market. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp From dc-cycles-request Mon Aug 13 18:02:12 2001 Return-Path: Received: from hotmail.com (f127.pav1.hotmail.com [64.4.31.127]) by dirty.meretrix.com (8.10.0/8.10.0) with ESMTP id f7DM2B602742 for ; Mon, 13 Aug 2001 18:02:11 -0400 (EDT) Received: from mail pickup service by hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Mon, 13 Aug 2001 15:02:05 -0700 Received: from 204.193.255.42 by pv1fd.pav1.hotmail.msn.com with HTTP; Mon, 13 Aug 2001 22:02:05 GMT X-Originating-IP: [204.193.255.42] From: "Doug Allis" To: hcaldwell@XXXXXX Cc: dc-cycles@XXXXXX Subject: Re: drive shafts vs chains or Belts anyone???!!!!!

My valves are self adjusting - cam/tappets/pushrods/OHV - hardly a *new* idea, and it only has two valves per cylinder. It also has a belt drive - adjustment? Nah, hardly ever, but methinks it has to be replaced every 100K or so, but there's no lube to check or change and it *reacts* like a chain and thankfully doesn't steal horsepower like a shaft drive. I believe the 1340 EVO Harley engine comes stock with a tire smokin', wheelie crankin', whopping 52 HP. Scares me to think about all that power under my butt....

Yeah, Kawi built a 440 with a belt back in the `80s. Nice light bike but the mo'fugga was extremely cold natured - took like forever to come off choke. The belt is boss, quiet, no lube required, no driveline snatch, and durable.

The original Honda CB750 had one, it was a small screw in the center of the countershaft that allowed a little oil out onto the sprocket and into the chain. Hot/thin oil flowed into and immediately out of the chain and onto... well damn near everything. Up your S.O.s blouse for instance.

The authorization amount is a hold against the credit limit for the $1.00. This typically stays on the account until the actual charges are settled electronically by the gas station. Both charges are from Hess, but it is the same for other stations as well as my Mobile Speedpass. In certain situations, an estimate of the expense will get authorized and withheld from your credit limit. A good example is a multi-day hotel stay. On presenting your card on check-in, the estimate for the full stay will get authorized. At the end of the stay, the actual charges will be submitted and will clear the authorization credit hold. For fraud prevention, all transactions are scrutinized by neural software. They learn your typical spending patterns and alert fraud detection if something is unusual. Sometimes, this is a good thing if your card is actually stolen. The bank issuer can detect unusual activity and block future transactions immediately. ---my reply ------------------------------------------------------------ And this may very well be what has been happening to some of you that have been experiencing "blocks" or "holds". I'm not in denial, nor am I trying to ignore what is being claimed as a fact. Simply asserting something to be true, especially generally speaking, does not make it true. This blocking thing has never happened to me and until recently, I've never even heard of it. John Walker took offense about a recent reply by me to his original start to this thread. My interest in replying at all was to point out the "chicken little" similarity of the claim and to satisfy my own curiosity about what may be happening to my own credit account. I don't think it is very responsible of someone to make such a blanket claim, getting people all worked up in the process without some sort of proof. I'm sorry if he felt I took a bite out of his ass, but I'm not sorry about pursuing this further. Since my original reply to him made it sound as if nothing at all but the charge amount itself got posted to a credit account, I agreed to let the list and him know if I found out anything different. What Gerald has stated above seems to closely match what my credit union is telling me now (see the forwarded message below). I'm done with this conversation. I will not be going into lurker mode though (heavy sigh and groans from the audience). ;-) Todd (Springfield, VA) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pentagon Federal Member Service" To: Sent: Monday, August 13, 2001 11:18 AM Subject: Reply: Pay at Pump Reference ID: 87978 > > Thank you for your message.

My first bike was a beat up old 500cc Honda Custom. I used it to practice what I was learning in the Basic Motorcycle Safety course. It could take all of the mistakes in clutch/throttle or braking and still let me ride. (It was like learning how to drive clutch in a '63 VW Beetle...very forgiving). After I had ridden for a year I then bought a new bike. I was ready for a 700cc Sabre. And then, like boats, I needed bigger ones each time thereafter. Anyway, I sold the first used Honda for the same amount I paid for it in the first place...$500.00. (Okay, is was a few years ago, but you get the point.)

The bad news is that the belts still only last 100,000 miles or so. :) For the record: Belts are ok.

Thanks -----Original Message----- From: Paul Wilson [mailto:pawilson@XXXXXX] Sent: Monday, August 13, 2001 1:48 PM To: dc-cycles list Subject: U-boat ride across WV (long-part 2) Part two (one copy this time, I promise!) After spending Saturday relaxing, visiting and doing *chain maintenance* ;) I prepared to head back to DC on Sunday. The forecast was ominous with flood warnings in the mountains. Leave it to the Weather Service and the Weather Channel to describe the movement of moist tropical air masses in excruciating detail, even though there's not a damn thing you can do about it. Oh well, time to don the rain gear and get going, knowing it was going to rain all day, and how. I rode about thirty miles before it really started coming down with gusto. I rode with a group of four Harley riders for a little bit, some two-up, some without rain gear, some without helmets, Ohio being a helmet-optional state. The temperature was about 70 and I was borderline cold in soaked gloves, dry leathers and rain suit. They were getting very wet and very cold and their speed seemed to verify that. I passed them with a friendly wave. I didn't see any other bikers for two hundred miles, and they were Wingers who gave we a big wave. I motored on and the rain would slacken for a bit, then pick up again. I forgot to put in ear plugs at one stop and the noise of the rain on the helmet became unbearable, so I pulled into a gas station with a large canopy. I continued on traveling on some beautiful roads, including Ohio 260 between Caldwell and New Matamoras. Gotta do that one again when it's dry. A wild turkey ran out in front of me on the road, but those things can really run and luckily he scooted safely out of the way. I crossed the Ohio River into W.Va. on the Fly-Sistersville ferry, which shaved about twenty miles off my route. I was determined to run WV Rt. 20 again and it was fun, although very wet with gravel and mud, and the occasional butt slow cager with nowhere to pass. This time the plan was to pick up US 50 across the remainder of the state and the western tip of Maryland, in lieu of Friday's route. Again it was with rain oscillating between drizzle and downpour, with heavy fog at the higher elevations. East of Grafton Rt. 50 is a nice wide road with lots of twisties and three major ascents and descents. I made the best of the situation. Speed was not an option, due to the inevitability of debris on the road, so I concentrated on being smooth with the gears and seamlessly managing the brake to throttle transitions, all the while being vigilant for any change in the pavement texture that could spell trouble. This sort of mental activity (90% of motorcycling as they say) helped me to stay alert under the constant mind-numbing sizzle of tires on wet pavement and the drumbeat of rain on the helmet. Actually the twisties help you stay focused. I find being on the super-slab, eating 18-wheeler mist, in the rain, to be the absolute worst. The VFR and the D205s handled well without complaint all day, although wet hands, clammy leathers and damp feet were starting to get a little old. After ten hours of that, partially due to lots of breaks, I finally rolled into DC, longing for a hot shower and hot meal. It had been another 450 miles in the saddle and the bike was dirty, but none the worse for wear. I'm ready to hit WV again, maybe some sunshine next time would be nice.

He's down in the Dumfries/Triangle area. He did my now departed GSXR http://www.geocities.com/the_penas/chux_gsxr.htm. Very good work at a very reasonable price. If you're talking about "custom" as in the H-D kind of paintwork, you might want to check out Custom Cycle Studio (703) 385-4718. One-man operation run out of his home in Fairfax. I've visited with the guy and seen his work -- very nice. But since he's a "real" custom painter, it's also on the pricey side.

I put the larger sprocket on for the trip, I usually keep the stock ratio at home. Since I had the smaller sprocket, I just carried it along, didn't think I'd need it, but it didn't take up much space either. The teeth on the larger front sprocket were hooked bad enough that it made noise with the new chain. It's a good thing I had the other one along, since the dealer in Fairbanks didn't have any front sprockets to fit my bike. For any trips longer than a weekend, I'll carry a chain and both sprockets along in the future. I've had three trips now where the chain has been a problem. The chain is an easy fix, but once it starts to stretch, it either requires continuous maintenance or a quick replacement. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Honda sort of took it to huge-ass extremes in the Goldwing, but the rugged simplicity of the Guzzi's and the old CX500s/Silverwings really appeals to me. I really should hop on a Guzzi list sometime. I hear they are a bit quirky, but pretty reliable if treated right. And doing valve adjustments when the valve covers are out there in the open is a cup-of-coffee affair, not a entire-afternoon- and-a-six-pack job. :) Horkster -- Mandatory second line (CM tm) Dale Horstman - the.horkster@XXXXXX AWSHIDT #322 - 40 of 99 done.

Leon? Have you ever gotten that much out of a chain? I seem to remember you wear them out quicker than that, even with the Scott Oiler and frequent adjusting. Now, maybe all the dual-sporting you do has something to do with that... :) > i've seen him adjust the > chain at every stop on some trips. Yep, me too.

"inadequate" from an "everyday" riding perspective maybe (e.g., commuting, touring, just generally tooling around). But not for someone (like me) who enjoys "tinkering" around with stuff such as final drive ratio to find the "right" combination of front and rear sprockets that best suit my bike and riding style. And certainly trying to set a bike up for a particular track/conditions is easier/less expensive with chain & sprockets than with a drive shaft. And if chain & sprockets are inadequate then I guess that makes all modern sportbikes inadequate! %^) Chuck Dale Horstman wrote : > > I submit again that chains & sprockets are an inadequate > form of final drive for modern day motorcycles. -- "Nothing is ever what it seems, but everything is exactly what it is." -- Buckaroo Banzai visit us at http://www.geocities.com/the_penas From dc-cycles-request Tue Aug 14 11:25:16 2001 Return-Path: Received: from hotmail.com (law2-f40.hotmail.com [216.32.181.40]) by dirty.meretrix.com (8.10.0/8.10.0) with ESMTP id f7EFPG621130 for ; Tue, 14 Aug 2001 11:25:16 -0400 (EDT) Received: from mail pickup service by hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Tue, 14 Aug 2001 08:14:02 -0700 Received: from 64.221.81.2 by lw2fd.hotmail.msn.com with HTTP; Tue, 14 Aug 2001 15:14:02 GMT X-Originating-IP: [64.221.81.2] From: "Natasha Louis" To: dc-cycles@XXXXXX Subject: Ducati Race Team Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2001 11:14:02 -0400 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Message-ID: X-OriginalArrivalTime: 14 Aug 2001 15:14:02.0698 (UTC) FILETIME=[C05B1AA0:01C124D3] Hi all, This is pretty cool.

As the unnamed partner in crime with Paul on my trusty 750 Nighthawk (now tagged as "BSTUJM" - 'best UJM') it was an interesting experience to say the least. I too was wearing perfed leather and suffered the obvious consequences. After the immersion experience on rt 20 I turned around and headed back on WV 7 and then over onto US50. the scariest moment for me (aside from the general discomfort with RT 72's marvelous pavement) was going into a 20mph caution marked righthand at about 40. It was alternating wet and dry (wet fingers of pavement reaching out from the curb toward the center line) and it was rather unnerving to have the back-end slide noticably on each wet spot. Paul was following at that time and I think I scared him. I sure scared myself... At 450 miles so far, I was feeling tired and cold and wet. So I pulled up to a gas station and caught some zzz's on a low concrete wall facing the road. I was so tired I managed to nap despite the country boy yahoo's in their muscle cars and monster trucks. 30min or so I reckon but it was enough. Who says you can't sleep on 6 inch wide cinder blocks. I then continued on to Romney, WV and stopped at a McD's at 10pm. the damp chill of wet clothes and my general tiredness was taking it's toll. And with a belly full of hot tea, fries and burger I figured to suffer drowsiness due to digestion processes. So rather than play a game of chance with the mountains I lay down in the picnic area behind the shop and crashed till around 1am when the local constable came round and evicted me off my warm, dry spot on the chipped wood surface. Life's not fair... Reasonably rested, I donned my rain jacket to ward off the cold wind chill and arrived home at 3:30. US50 10 to 25 miles west of Romney is quite a lot of fun. More so at night, in varying fog, and with a nearly black (daytime only) visor. US211 is so passe by comparision with it's double lanes and wide run-off's. Try it on a real mountain road with zero shoulder and cagers threatening to cross over into your own lane. But really, US50 is straight compared to some of those WV, TN, KN, southern PA roads I've traveled. Guardrails? we don't need no stinkin' guard rails! I was on one of those quinticential CA canyon roads in my dad's Miata clone a few weeks ago. 100 miles of non-stop 2 lane twisty and hard, steep switchbacks up and down mountains. It was fun but technical driving, requiring constant attention lest one run over the 4 inch curb and hurtle down into the ravines. I'd love to do it on a bike but I'd have to take a break ever so often just to keep the mind sharp. I can see why the CHP has gotten good at scraping people and bikes off the roads... I forget what my total milage ended up but I think it was 700+. I don't know how those with Ferous Buttocks do it but maybe they stick to highways where they can make good time. It was plenty for me. -- _______________________________________________ Get your free email from http://mail.theglobe.com Powered by Outblaze From dc-cycles-request Tue Aug 14 11:37:30 2001 Return-Path: Received: from maynard.mail.mindspring.net (maynard.mail.mindspring.net [207.69.200.243]) by dirty.meretrix.com (8.10.0/8.10.0) with ESMTP id f7EFbT621375 for ; Tue, 14 Aug 2001 11:37:29 -0400 (EDT) Received: from cfoatty3 (1Cust183.tnt1.fredericksburg2.va.da.uu.net [63.36.6.183]) by maynard.mail.mindspring.net (8.9.3/8.8.5) with SMTP id LAA10442 for ; Tue, 14 Aug 2001 11:37:27 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <002b01c124d7$621386e0$b706243f@cfoatty3> From: "Roy D.

Discovered I could buy three standard chains for the price of one highly overrated o-ring and made the switch. Surprise, the standard chains lasted just as long and were easy to replace.

Maybe we should have picked Hops in Potomca Yard, or Old Town (thought about it, but parking's a bear there too). Maybe next time.

Depending on specific conditions I would estimate an o-ring chain to last about 20-30 hours on a bike used in the woods on the east coast (where there's lots of water and lots of grit) if the owner is not big into constantly doing maintenance (e.g., me).

Do non-o-ring chains last any > longer? Non-o-ring chains are used on dirt bikes for one reason - efficiency. That's why motocross bikes come with non-o-ring chains. They're meant for speed, not longevity. One good ride in the woods (2-4 hours) and a non-o-ring chain is toast. > If I ride a couple hundred miles on a gravel road on a > rainy day, does that mean that the chain will be used > up after the next 4000 miles of pavement? I doubt it would be that bad. The chain and rear sprocket on a dirt bike tend to come in direct contact with dirt and rocks. Grit gets ground into the chain from this direct contact.

I've installed the famous DID X-Ring chain which many claim gives them up to 30K even with dirt riding in the mix. We'll have to wait and see.

For more Information head over to: http://www.dcwyman.com/cvamc/afr/index.html or for the flyer: http://www.dcwyman.com/cvamc/images/afrflypic.jpg There'll be coffee and doughnuts before the ride, and a picnic and door prizes afterwards. the ride begins and ends at post 1503. I hope to see some of the DC cyclists out there. I'll be driving the chase truck (some how got volunteered for it) so if any of you run out of gas or break down, I'll be the one helping you out.. hope to see you there, Blake Dale City, VA 1998 Yamaha V-star 650 Custom 1982 Yamaha Vision (XZ550) (black) 1982 Yamaha Vision (XZ550) (yellow now, soon to be red) 1978 Yamaha XS650 1978 Yamaha GT80 _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp From dc-cycles-request Wed Aug 15 21:17:13 2001 Return-Path: Received: from web20101.mail.yahoo.com (web20101.mail.yahoo.com [216.136.226.38]) by dirty.meretrix.com (8.10.0/8.10.0) with SMTP id f7G1HC625928 for ; Wed, 15 Aug 2001 21:17:13 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <20010816011711.21981.qmail@web20101.mail.yahoo.com> Received: from [205.252.8.97] by web20101.mail.yahoo.com; Wed, 15 Aug 2001 18:17:11 PDT Date: Wed, 15 Aug 2001 18:17:11 -0700 (PDT) From: matthew patton Subject: looking for brake parts To: dc-cycles@XXXXXX MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii aside from breakers (salvage yards) and dealers are there outfits that sell brake pieces like master cylinders, levers (eg. the 3 or 4 piece ones), calipers etc?

Here is a route I used to ride regularly when I used to race/ride bicycles (probably one of the hardest 50 mile bicycle rides in the general area)... Starting in Marshall: - North on Rectortown Rd. - Right on Atoka Rd. - Left on Route 50 - Right on Willisville Rd. - Left/bear left onto SR619 (I don't think you have any choice if you want to stay on pavement!) - Right on SR719 - Left on 734 (Airmont) - up to this point is merely the hor's d'ouvre of rolling hills - The first "real" climb is in Bluemont on 734 - Left on Route 7 - Left on 601 (big climb straight up for ~1 mile plus lots of little climbs along the way; fast and twisty descent -- watch out for the 10/15mph decreaasing radius turn at the very end!) - Left on Route 17/50 towards Paris - Exit onto Federal in Paris - Right/bear right onto Springaly(?) which becomes Gap Run Rd. - Right onto Route 17 (busy with trucks!) - Right on 688 (the climb up Naked Mountain will beat you up after all the other climbing you've done, but you'll love the descent on the other side!) - Left on 55 - Right on Dead End Rd.(?) - This is the only tricky part of the ride. You need to make this turn to come under I-66 -- if you keep following 55 it'll take you back to 17. - Next left on Lea Rd. - Left on Ashville Rd. (will take you back across I-66) - Right on 55 and follow 55 all the way back into Marshall Chuck Tight Squeeze Racing wrote: > > I used to ride my YZF on this route, so I'm hoping one of you has as > well... > > I want to do a bicycle ride: > Start at 606(off Rt 7 by the river), heading South to 50, > West on 50 to 601, > North on 601(past Weather Station) back to Rt 7, > Rt 7 back to 601 for lunch and oxygen. > > Anyone know the milage of this route? > > Steve Clark > Trek 1200 > '99 Suz SV650 > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Make international calls for as low as $.04/minute with Yahoo!

" . . . rock-solid cheese grater." oof Thanks Russell & more good wishes in the Iron Butt Rally. Now if MD could do something about improving MSF class availability. . . Carl in Bethesda Subject: Newbies, gear, and training. A woman at work that likes to read my trip report write-ups just informed me a friend of her's won a Hardley. I responded to her note with a few of the arguments I always use when trying to persuade new riders to get gear and training. I thought that Sabmag members may want to use similar arguments when attempting to inform the riding newbies they encounter. ------- I'm glad you enjoyed the write-ups. Not to be a busybody, but I do have a few suggestions for your bike winning friend. She should sign up for and complete the beginning MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) class. She can call her state's department of motor vehicles for more information or have her call the MSF directly at 1-800-447-4700. She can also check their web site at: http://www.msf-usa.org I cannot stress this class enough. I've been jumping out of airplanes for fifteen years. I have over 1200+ jumps. I've been riding a motorcycle for twenty years and have over 150,000 miles of two wheeled experience. Jumping out of airplanes is a *far* safer activity than riding a motorcycle -- I kid you not! Training: Most riders cause themselves harm during their first year of riding. The MSF class goes along way towards helping new riders avoid mistakes that are a direct result of inexperience. Piloting a bike (notice I didn't say riding) is almost as difficult as the mental demands of flying an aircraft. Plus, controlling a bike is not an intuitive thing. There are a lot of natural reactions (like braking in a turn) that kill scores of riders each year. Safety Gear: Good safety gear will save your life. Gear is more than just a helmet and gloves. It's sturdy boots (lots of bones in those feet), abrasion resistant Cordura/leather from head to toe, motorcycle specific gloves (more bones), and a helmet. My personal preference is to also wear a spine protecting back plate. Think of it this way. Would you go out and play football with a professional team during a Monday Night Football contest with absolutely no protective gear? In football you're only talking about collisions with 275 lb. opponents traveling at maybe fifteen to twenty miles an hour. And in football you're playing on a grass or grass-like surface. However, when piloting a bike you're traveling at speeds averaging 30-50 MPH or faster. You're playing hide-and-seek with three ton vehicles atop something akin to a rock-solid cheese grater. People that regularly choose to ride without the proper protective gear are living in a Fools' Paradise. I don't mean to scare your friend or anyone else away from riding. It's one of the things that brings absolute joy to my life. However, it is a very serious activity with very serious consequences if approached with a caviler attitude.

I ordered my tickets for VIR today via the web, they should hopefully be here by late next week. 'Seems the tickets are only good for Fri-Sun. But wait, Batman! I took a FOUR day weekend that week, so I have THURSDAY off too. Hmm, all day and nothing to do but ride. What to do, what to do. I remember a post not too long ago wherein the writer asked for tag-alongs to VIR. Well, I would like to tag along. Or maybe if that guy doesn't want to ride with me, someone else here would. I was thinking 340 south from "Fredneck" to Waynesboro, then BRP (twice in one year, I am blessed!) to Meadows of Dan, finally taking Rt. 58 outta M.O.D. east to Danville. I wanted to skip Skyline to save room at the end of the day for some power drinking. If this sounds good to anyone, give me a shout at mailto:HOFOJOKO@XXXXXX (Or be patient, I'm a digest reader). Or if you can think of a better way, I'm more than willing to follow you, so long as we get to the track eventually. After all, I got nothing but time on Thursday. Howard J.

Yes, there is a blue stone driveway but I'd hardly call it narrow. It's down hill but not steep. I thought it was easier than the parking lot and rickety bridges at TWO (Suches) or the driveway at Cherokee (Tellico Plains). FWIW, I thought the camp sites were better than either BRMC (Cruso) or TWO; the showers were better than TWO. Mmmm, but the food and service at TWO is aces. Anyway, my fully laden (3 man dome tent etc.) 85 VF 700 Sabre made it just fine -- but -- I do have Dunlop 205's mounted. Yeah, that's it, the radial tires ;^) "LindaT trembled, " ACK! That doesn't sound like something I'd like to do on a fully laden bike. I'm thinking about the same route on my way down to the start of the IBR. Perry Coleman said: It's a nice ride, though. We didn't actually go into the campsite when we rode down there. I wasn't impressed by the narrow, downhill, gravel driveway off the main highway.

Not to go back to the track day scenario...but one of the biggest problems with street riding is people don't know what their motorcycle is capable of, and don't realize that if you just "push" harder on the handlebars if you think you are going off the road, chances are that bike will make it. A track day will help many beginners learn this. Once you get out on a track...a controlled area...many people will realize that your bike will turn faster and sharper than they think. I never realized what my GS could do until I took it to the track. Even just taking it to one track day will teach you a lot about your bike and what it can do. Which, in turn, will help on the street. ;-) LAG From dc-cycles-request Sun Aug 19 11:44:25 2001 Return-Path: Received: from www.mostlyharmless.net (w157.z216112246.was-dc.dsl.cnc.net [216.112.246.157]) by dirty.meretrix.com (8.10.0/8.10.0) with ESMTP id f7JFiO623560 for ; Sun, 19 Aug 2001 11:44:25 -0400 (EDT) Received: from firewall.dcc-racing.org (cc723123-a.hrngtn1.de.home.com [65.14.253.189]) by www.mostlyharmless.net (8.11.0/8.8.7) with SMTP id f7JFiE320611; Sun, 19 Aug 2001 11:44:14 -0400 From: Brian Roach Reply-To: roach@XXXXXX To: David Cross , Troutman , Subject: Re: Modern Hurt Style Report Date: Sun, 19 Aug 2001 11:45:55 -0400 X-Mailer: KMail [version 1.1.99] Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" References: In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <01081911455500.17116@firewall.dcc-racing.org> Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit On Sunday 19 August 2001 11:22, David Cross wrote: > Interesting indeed. > > I'll throw this one out to this group and see what happens . . . > > "wearing appropriate clothing did not significantly decrease the likelihood > or severity of external injuries" Remember that "appropriate clothing", at least here in the states, is usually stated as something along the lines of "Long pants, boots that cover the ankle, long sleeved shirt or jacket, and gloves". I'd say that yes, that wouldn't do you a damn bit of good anywhere above 20 mph. What I found odd were these two statements: - more than two-thirds on curves - equally divided between intersection and non-intersection locations Either they have a lot of intersections over there in the middle of curves, or the whole report is completely inaccurate. - Roach From dc-cycles-request Sun Aug 19 12:16:11 2001 Return-Path: Received: from smtp6vepub.verizon.net (smtp6vepub.gte.net [206.46.170.27]) by dirty.meretrix.com (8.10.0/8.10.0) with ESMTP id f7JGGB624076 for ; Sun, 19 Aug 2001 12:16:11 -0400 (EDT) Received: from pltrgyst.bellatlantic.net (pool-151-200-19-35.res.east.verizon.net [151.200.19.35]) by smtp6vepub.verizon.net with ESMTP for ; id LAA65363424 Sun, 19 Aug 2001 11:15:35 -0500 (CDT) Message-Id: <4.3.2.7.2.20010819113850.00acf1f0@mail.9netave.com> X-Sender: pop909184@XXXXXX X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 4.3.2 Date: Sun, 19 Aug 2001 11:44:36 -0400 To: From: Larry Larson Subject: Re: Modern Hurt Style Report In-Reply-To: <01081911455500.17116@firewall.dcc-racing.org> References: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed At 11:45 AM 8/19/01, Brian Roach wrote: >What I found odd were these two statements: > >- more than two-thirds on curves >- equally divided between intersection and non-intersection locations > >Either they have a lot of intersections over there in the middle of curves, >or the whole report is completely inaccurate. All those two statements together imply is that at least one sixth (16-2/3%, or 0.1666...) of the intersections having accidents were on curves.

In my experience, 1 out of 6 intersections being in the middle of a curve is rather odd... I can't think of anywhere I've ever experienced that. Of course, it's a small sample size, and it could just be pointing out that intersections in the middle of curves are a really bad idea :) It also could be that there's a REALLY bad intersection in the middle of a curve there that racks up accidents.

It's a common form of intersection in Europe, and especially in the UK. Maybe the Aussies tend to use them as well.

I didn't mean to imply that the researchers should have planned in advance how their results would be interpreted, but I think this study is flawed. The researchers only compared riders who were absolutely safe with riders who ended up in the hospital. There's no comparison to riders who had accidents and didn't go to the hospital (or die), so how can they say that protective clothing had no benefit? Riders who crashed but didn't get hurt because of their protective clothing weren't included in the study. I have no problem with accurately reporting the results, but I take issue with these results. -john At 5:25 PM -0400 8/19/01, Larry Larson wrote: >>At 02:08 PM 8/19/01, John wrote: >>>The researchers should have considered all accidents before >>>reaching a conclusion that can be so misrepresented out of >>>the proper context. >> >>Is that really what you meant to say?

Looking forward to seeing some bikes, as the day was so gloomy that it was pretty boring. Here comes a pack of squids, not weaving in and out of traffic, rather busting down the center line at a rate of about 90-100+ passing everything in site. Bikes I could make out were a GSX-R1000, R1, some bike painted like a leopard, and another that I didn't get a good look at. Drivers in shorts, T's and with girlfriends holding on tight. I expected to see at least one of them in the median down the road. Well, traffic came to a crawl about 10 miles down the road, and I saw flashing lights and figured one of them bought the farm. But as luck would have it, they must have passed a Trooper in some foreign unmarked car, and he had plenty of help by this time shaking them down. All the riders had the seats off hunting for paperwork, etc. My wife commented that their luck must have run out, but I looked at it that someone was smiling on them, because they probably all made it home alive.

Broken bones are internal, not external injury (They list external injurys as being abrasions, lacerations, and punctures... though the latter is sorta both :) ) And... that nice impact absorbing foam-core armor found in good leathers serves a purpose - it helps prevent broken bones. Trust me...

I know, I know, it was stupid, but I'm a glutton for punishment. Actually I desperately need a decent rain jacket to throw over my Phoenix or my First Gear and I thought I'd check out their selection. Silly me, something actually useful for riding, what was I thinking? Now, if I wanted one of 50 different extreme videos, a biker babe calendar, squid jacket or a plastic model motorcycle I'd be all set, but the rain cover selection was pretty pathetic. They had some really cheap OSI's and two types of Belstaff covers. The "cheap" Belstaff was $45.00 but the neck opening would have let water gush in and the "nice" Belstaff fit great but was $80. I started looking around and found the helmet I want (Shoei RF-900 TC-1) going for $445.00 whereas it's $370.00 from Helmet shop ($8.00 shipping, no sales tax) . My Sidi boots I bought at Fast Lanes for $225 (The Manufacturer's MSRP and the price I found at 3 different shops) went for $265 there. The Phoenix jacket I bought at Fast Lanes for under $130 was priced at $199.99! When I read another post saying this I thought they were kidding but they weren't. I looked around and all I could think of was Chevy Chase in "Fletch" getting a prostate exam when he says "Say Doc, did you ever serve time?" I actually pulled the accessories manger aside and told him of all my comparison shopping and got the usual "Well, that's because they're mail order..." routine. I just can't believe, especially after working there (I'm still in therapy) that with their commanding location, lack of real competition and corporate buying power they can't create a better marketing presence. I appreciate their support of Bike Night but they really should concentrate on their business model instead. The manager I spoke with urged me to write the owners but I wonder whether they'd actually read it. Thanks for the chance to vent.

Oftentimes they're based on police, fire, and EMS accident reports, so the data may be unreliable because 1) some single-vehicle MC wrecks where the rider is relatively uninjured don't get reported at all and 2) not all LEOs are expert accident investigators, especially where motorcycles and protective gear are concerned. Their main goal is to find out who, if anyone, to charge, write it up, and move on. They're not going to take the time to make a detailed report of what the rider was wearing, for instance.

I and several others on this list are living proof that gear saves lives or if nothing else, saves major trauma. Yes I sustained a nice big gouge of flesh being removed from my arm, but I shudder to think what my arm, legs, hips would have looked like if they were covered in just t-shirt/jeans. I'm reasonably certain I would have multiple broken bones, a lot more flesh missing and if I wasn't wearing a helmet my skull would be in very sorry shape, maybe even dead. but 3.5 weeks after my crash I'm walking around just fine and was able to stress the importance of safety gear to a class of MSF novices this weekend. Ok, so my data point is anecdotal. the researches sound like a bunch of 1/2 assed statisticions to me. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

"The evidence obtained from the red-light camera system as presently operated appears so untrustworthy and unreliable that it lacks foundation and should not be admitted," Superior Court Judge Ronald Styn said in a written opinion. The ruling directly affects several hundred motorists who are challenging their red-light citations in a consolidated criminal proceeding before the judge. Styn's ruling says the photographs in all of these cases won't be admitted as evidence -- meaning all the citations will be dismissed -- unless the City Attorney's Office persuades him to change his mind at an Aug. 31 hearing."

I saw in Sept. issue of MCNews a favorable write-up on the Adventure Motorcycles carb synch tool, manufactured right here in Springfield, VA. They say it offers much greater accuracy. I'm wondering if anyone has used this critter and if it's worth the cost (~$80) compared to the old-fashioned mercury ones. I need to check the carb synch since the VFR seems to be running a bit rough at certain RPMs. The Adventure tool compares two carbs at a time, which is great if you have a twin, but for the V4 it could be a PITA having to hop around from carb to carb using one as a reference. I'm wondering if this thing is a worthwhile addition to the tool kit for the one or two times a year that I'll need it or if I should just stick to the mercury or dial type.

You've really got to be careful there -- not only do they charge $699.95 for an Arai replica that's $370 from Helmet Shop, but the Quantum they're ripping you off for is an obsolete Quantum E, rather than the current Quantum F that Helmet Shop sells. That's not just one isolated incident -- many of the helmets they have on display are older, obsolete models. Their latest service policy is customer friendly, too -- no appointments for servicing any more. They want me to drop my bike off for "at least a week" to have the 600-mile servicing done. No special parts, just routine servicing. Nope, sorry -- they'll never get a sniff of my money again. I've gone to several bike dealerships in the last week, and the total disconnect between sales and service is absolutely amazing. I have yet to meet a single salesman who knows how his service department operates, even in the most basic sense, such as do they work on an appointment basis -- yes or no. They must all assume that you're shopping purely on sales price, and are too stupid to know you're going to have to deal with their service department at least for warranty work. -- Larry From dc-cycles-request Mon Aug 20 18:23:59 2001 Return-Path: Received: from smtp4vepub.verizon.net (smtp4vepub.gte.net [206.46.170.25]) by dirty.meretrix.com (8.10.0/8.10.0) with ESMTP id f7KMNx623326 for ; Mon, 20 Aug 2001 18:23:59 -0400 (EDT) Received: from pltrgyst.bellatlantic.net (pool-151-200-19-35.res.east.verizon.net [151.200.19.35]) by smtp4vepub.verizon.net with ESMTP for ; id RAA76417166 Mon, 20 Aug 2001 17:23:52 -0500 (CDT) Message-Id: <4.3.2.7.2.20010820182244.00abebf0@mail.9netave.com> X-Sender: pop909184@XXXXXX X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 4.3.2 Date: Mon, 20 Aug 2001 18:24:50 -0400 To: dc-cycles@XXXXXX From: Larry Larson Subject: Re: Kinda OT: want ~20 tennis balls In-Reply-To: <20010820163903.33377.qmail@web20102.mail.yahoo.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed At 12:39 PM 8/20/01, matthew patton wrote: >to make into MC ride 'range cones'. anyone got a stash >of old balls they no longer care to hang onto?

I bought my "rat" FZR600 "track bike w/lights" on eBay from a guy in Colorado so I'll share with you what I learned searching around for shipping. It actually is possible to get shipping quotes for around $300. Most of them are for air freight. But you're going to incur some additional requirements/costs (which vary a little from shipper to shipper) like: a crate (most places want you to use a fully-enclosed wood crate), the time and expense of crating and un-crating, draining all the fluids, and removing the battery. In the end, it'll cost you more than the $300 quoted to ship. Plus you have to drop-off and pick-up at the air freight "warehouse" at the airports. Got a way to transport a fully-crated m/c? Or are you willing to spend the time at either end to make the m/c fully transportable or ridable? FWIW, Brian Roach had recommended an air freight service that I talked to (can't remember the name, sorry!) that was relatively inexpensive and had a lot of experience with motorcycles -- I just didn't want to deal with all the additional hassles. I ended up using an Allied Van Lines shipping outfit that has a lot of experience shipping motorcycles: Mont-Bruno/LakeShore http://www.brunolake.com. They ended up being ~$500 to ship door-to-door (office-to-office actually -- they charge more for residential pick-up and drop-off). Only requirement was that the gas tank be drained. Bike is put on a palette and secured with 4-point tie-downs. Supposedly transported on a truck only with other m/c's. It'll actually get picked-up and dropped-off on a smaller truck that will likely be carrying other "special handling required" stuff (e.g., medical instruments). I was happy with them. Bike arrived with no problems whatsoever. I think it was right around 7 days from drop-off to pick-up. BTW, check with your insurance company to see if your bike is insured while it's being transported. My policy doesn't cover my bike for this. So I paid a little extra to have the bike insured. There was another company I talked with (in CA) that I almost used. The owner is a motorcycle rider. Allen Auto Transport http://www.allenauto.com/. I think their quote was competitive. But their transport schedule didn't mesh with mine. One thing about surface shipping: You're at the mercy of the truck/driver schedule. If you're lucky (like I was), everything happens right away. But it's also possible to have to wait a week or more before anything starts moving.

If you want adetailed description of more than you ever wanted to know about oils....go to www.howstuffworks.com. Search on oils....there are several articles.....and links from those articles as well to other informative sites. As for me...I switched to Mobil 1 20W/50 for all fo my racebikes. If they can survive in that type of environment....then I would think that your streetbikes can use it. One thing to note...I change the bikes oil every race weekend.

I haven't heard anyone confirm nor deny the effectiveness of the "Green Light" Traffic Light Trigger. The general consensus on that list was that since our motorcycles are DOT approved vehicles, you should contact your local government and demand that they adjust the sensitivity on the sensor so that it trips for a motorcycle. They recommend that you first try to find someone who has some influence that also rides, but when that fails, threaten to sue since it forces you to put yourself in a potentially dangerous situation if the light never turns green and you have no choice but to run the red light. We're lucky that we can turn right on red. What do riders in NYC do in this situation? They also mention turning the engine off/on _might_ do the trick, as it should create quite a magnetic field (which is all the "Green Light" gizmo is). There was rumor that you could try flashing your high beams (only at night) to try to trick those lights equipped with a strobe detector (that emergency vehicles can use).

Or, even better, does anyone want to start a grassroots effort to prevent this problem. For about the next 3 weeks, I have only 3 lights to traverse on my way to & from work. I actually spend more time sitting at the lights, than riding to & from ... One day, I got ticked & called FFX traffic engineering (703) 383-2776 or 2400(one of those numbers...) and expressed my dissatisfaction. They did send someone, and they did make it *a little* better... You may not agree with their decisions or actions, but they will investigate. I have no problem sending letters to Fairfax Co. but so far my letters (both of them) have been ineffective. try calling them. they may have sent someone, and decided that it works for their 4 ton truck, so it should work for your bike just fine... Don't count on getting out of a red light ticket around here. I don't have personal experience, but that's a real high attention violation nowadays, and doesn't generate a lot of sympathy. Dr. Gridlock has been good about publishing numbers to call for lights that aren't right, and over the winter held a contest for the 'longest stop light wait'... you may find relief there... HTH.

The aluminum frame probably has something to do with it. Anyway, the starter trick seems to have worked for me a couple of times. I also lower the centerstand to the pavement a couple of times. Some people say that big honking piece of steel is enough to be detected by the in-ground loops. FWIW, one of the worst lights in the whole region that I've encountered is the left hand turn from eastbound Rt. 7 into NOVA Loudoun campus. Especially annoying since it's an MSF training venue with scores of bikes coming and going all the time and there's only one way into the campus.

The suggestion was to ask the officer to write it up as "proceeding on the red" or "proceeding against the light" or something similar, as opposed to the classic "running the red light." The difference being that one indicates that you stopped at the light and then proceeded even though it was still red while the other indicates that you didn't even stop - you just went right on through. If you get it written up as having proceeded on the red, you could probably convince a judge to drop it. If you're written up as a red-light runner, you're going to have a harder time of it - unless the cop testifies on your behalf. Also, I think the points/fine are less for the "proceed" versus the "running" violation. Personally, I'd take my chances with the ticket and court than sit at the light more than one cycle.

It's national, and I think (hope) you've got a little better chance of someone with a clue showing up to handle your cycle. The service is provided by these folks; take a look if interested: The AMA plan seems like a good deal -- dispatches, and pays for first $100.

The theory here is that running your starter, (essentially just a big, torquey electric motor), should generate a sufficient electro-magnetic field to trip the light sensor. I guess it depends on where your starter is located, and how big it is, because thumbing the starter at a light never tripped it for me. -- "For man, maximum excitement is the confrontation of death and the skillful defiance of it." -Ernest Becker (1924-1974) Sean Jordan Jordan Racing / DC-Cycles Racing '93 Honda CBR1000F (Street) '90 Yamaha FZR400 (Race) WERA #779 / CCS #778 / MARRC member #3038 http://www.angelfire.com/mac/eternity23/jordanracing.html From dc-cycles-request Tue Aug 21 15:13:35 2001 Return-Path: Received: from barry.mail.mindspring.net (barry.mail.mindspring.net [207.69.200.25]) by dirty.meretrix.com (8.10.0/8.10.0) with ESMTP id f7LJDY614645 for ; Tue, 21 Aug 2001 15:13:35 -0400 (EDT) Received: from ix.netcom.com (dialup-64.157.56.201.Dial1.Washington1.Level3.net [64.157.56.201]) by barry.mail.mindspring.net (8.9.3/8.8.5) with ESMTP id PAA15719; Tue, 21 Aug 2001 15:13:27 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <3B82B326.3F6CDB06@ix.netcom.com> Date: Tue, 21 Aug 2001 15:14:46 -0400 From: Chuck Pena Reply-To: the_penas@XXXXXX X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.7 [en] (Win98; I) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: GOINGRIDING@XXXXXX CC: dc-cycles@XXXXXX Subject: Re: Car accident advice needed References: <9b.19d87480.28b3fde9@aol.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sorry to hear that your new car got crunched. My experience dealing with auto body repair work has been that you can go ahead and take it to the body shop of your choice and get them to do an estimate. The adjuster will simply confirm that their estimate is "reasonable". But this was for a case where my insurance company was paying the claim (in a true "no-fault" situation). Since you are making a claim against the other person's insurance company, I would check with them first before doing anything. I am guessing they will want their adjuster to do the estimate and maybe even direct you to where they want the work done. If you weren't physically injured, you probably can't sue for anything other than the damage done to your car. The only way to know for sure, however, is to talk with a lawyer.

Saturday I noticed the Park Police were nailing folks in the 25 mile zone south of the Kennedy Center with old fashioned radar. Take care. It's a frequent practice to pull out the radar gun when traffic is sparse. Certainly lessens the credibility that radar enforcement has anything to do with public safety. Actually it's a defect of radar -- radar can't pick out individual vehicles in a crowd. Still lessens the public safety argument. 2. A friend accidentally brought his radar detector into DC still plugged in (He really-really didn't mean to). But, he noticed that both Wisconsin and Connecticut are now lousy with the camera devices. He said they didn't stay on continuously. Take care. 3. Some time ago another buddy was returning from Summit, after a motorcycle race, on a vintage bike. After passing a line of trucks, three (3!) MD patrol cars pulled him over. Claimed he was doing 80 (his GPS showed 74 MPH) but the officer reduced the charged speed "because he didn't appear to be the type of biker they were looking for. They were looking for sport bikers revved up after seeing the race." Thank goodness for such enforcement because a speeding sport biker might ram a car and interrupt the driver's lunch or phone call. Take care. 4. A cop friend (noo Yawk, not local) remarked re the Prince George's County police shenanigans, "The voters will get the police brutality that they are willing to put up with." Maybe we're getting the wacky traffic laws that we're willing to put up with. Elections are coming up next year.

I was crunched between two vehicles a few years ago in Va. (in a cage thankfully, not a bike) in one of those accordion-style pile-ups at a traffic light. Wet street, inattentive driver, you know the drill. Basically I just had to sit there and watch the bozo come up behind me and fail to stop. Fun experience. Luckily, I was not hurt in the slightest, no pain, not even sore the next day. It was pretty low speed, but enough to total a Golf. Maybe I should have been checked out by a doctor, whatever, I didn't pursue it. The at fault driver's insurance company's adjuster came out to the wrecker's yard, paid the storage and towing fees, totaled out my car and offered me what I thought was reasonable for the car, and topped that off with a payment for my rental car charges and a couple hundred in "walking around money" for the inconvenience of the whole experience. It thought it was appropriate so I settled. I wasn't looking to make a killing, just to be compensated for having my car destroyed and being inconvenienced. I did talk to an attorney and she said (confirming Chuck's remarks) that for property damage only claim (no injuries, "pain and suffering" etc) this was a good deal and to expect more was not realistic. She said your best bet is to present arguments for a higher value for the vehicle, or in your case, the repairs. Since they didn't try to lowball me, I didn't protest and moved on.

Mobil 1 V-Twin is no more the same as the auto version as 10w40 is the same as 5w30. now, this is a very good example, because it leads to the question "which is better?" i will not get sucked into that arguement, but suffice it to say there is plenty of research out there in the bike mags. make sure you are comparing apples to apples tho, the similarity between auto and (most) bike engines ends at the fact that they are both internal combustion. to say that "i have put 20,000 miles on my bike using pure water instead of oil" would not be a very ringing endorsement. everyone uses and maintains their motors differently. what works ok for some may not be the same for others. personally, i hold with the 'right tool for the right job' philosophy and sometimes that tool costs more than one that 'almost' does the job. btw, total auto parts in herndon has all the mobil 1 cycle products. price is steep tho, but half the time finding it is the hard part. i 'found' Mobil 1 MX4T at wally-world tonite but could not find a price on the shelf.

Interesting. Have you testimony or other evidence to back this claim? In response to questions about this subject, one Mobil high-level manager was quoted to me as saying "That level of ethics is not required in our industry." I liked that. 8;) I haven't heard anyone mention the four liter jugs (at $40+ ! ) of Mobil 1 packaged specifically for Triumph motorcycles. This stuff is available at every Triumph dealer I've visited, including Cycle Sport and Clinton Cycle. Do you think that's a different product from the generic moto Mobil 1, Bruce?

Interesting. Have you testimony or other evidence to back this claim? IIRC, last year, MCN did another oil review, which included a chemical analysis which showed there was in fact, different composition of the cage type oil & the moto type oil. I'm sure they'd be happy to provide a reprint, may even be on their web site... In response to questions about this subject, one Mobil high-level manager was quoted to me as saying "That level of ethics is not required in our industry." I liked that. 8;) It would be indeed foolish of any Mobil employee to either confirm or deny chemical content, as they would likely be fired on the spot for breech of employee agreement. Not only that, Mobil would likely sue them. The formulation is legally a trade secret. Since the chemical analysis done by MCN indicates there is a difference, perhaps the Mobil person in question either doesn't have enough clearance within the company to really have access to that info, or is perhaps disgruntled or maybe MCN's analysis was dead wrong & the Mobil guy is right... I haven't heard anyone mention the four liter jugs (at $40+ ! ) of Mobil 1 packaged specifically for Triumph motorcycles. Great.

If you haven't read the MCN oil test then you are talking out of your hat. Except for like one or two examples the zinc/phos mixtures are no different between auto/mc. Now granted the formulation is different across brands. eg. Castrol GTX was much better than say Quaker State. Hardly brand oil turned out to be rather pathetic in formulation which wasn't all that surprising considering the AMC has a long tradition of bilking willing customers for trinkets and doodads. (Hmm, I guess if the customer is willing to part with their cash then I guess I can't call the process 'bilking' can I?) The only distinction between "auto" and "mc" oil that you or anybody else needs to be aware of is the "energy conserving" designation. Those with that mark have friction modifiers which *can* cause problems with MC clutches. anything with 10/40 or higher viscosity tends not to have these and are thusly favored for MC (or heavy truck) use. > Mobil 1 V-Twin is no more the same as the auto > version as 10w40 is > the same as 5w30. I demand chemical analysis proof. If you have it then you're flat-out amazing. v-twin oil is almost assuradly not an iota different than Mobil's 15-50 synthetic oil.

It says "v-twin" so all of the hardly riders will gleefully pay 4x the price smiling to themselves that they got the "right oil" for their overpriced, chrome mobiles.

I, on the other hand will use the savings to buy an extra couple tanks worth of that cheapo 87 octane. And if "auto" oil was so bad, I'd like to know how my oil/air cooled (which is harder on the engine and the oil than water cooled) nighthawk manages to have lasted 58,000 miles and the last 25,000 have been on the same clutch with no problems in sight. > because it leads > to the question "which is better?" i will not get > sucked into that arguement, > but suffice it to say there is plenty of research > out there in the bike mags. which are clueless as fuck.

Generally, though, if you see the accident first hand, and it doesn't look all that bad, and/or come up on the rider moving around on the ground and a car speeding away, I would consider giving chase myself.

Since the formulations for these oils and the design process that brought them into being are proprietary secrets, we only have three things to go on really, 1) the manufacturer's largely unsupported claims behind adding a moniker like "moto-specific" or "V-twin" to an oil, 2) the results in independent testing in places like MCN and 3) the experience of real world use in thousands of bikes. I'll give deference to the latter two, before putting much stock in the manufacturer's claims. Bottom line for me is, I don't really care if there's a demonstrable difference in chemical composition if it doesn't make a dime's worth of difference in my bike. Mobil can claim there's a difference, but if my bike doesn't know the difference, why get worked up about it. I'm running regular auto Mobil 1 15W50 without complaint. I went with synth because I ride a lot and it has good longevity before viscosity breakdown and has good particulate suspension rating. Both of those factors are key to a longer oil change interval since I don't fancy doing oil changes every four to six weeks in the summertime. Not to be a cynic, but manufacturers know that motorcyclists suffer from the "princess and the pea" syndrome and we want the best for our beloved machines, to the point of being irrational and impulsive. We are easily swayed but specially badged oils with our bike's brand name or engine configuration. Hey, my bike's special, it needs special oil!

I personally feel strongly that if you are the first person at an accident scene, after the accident, you have a strong obligation to stop and offer asisstance. As someone who has been involved in both auto and bike crashes, as participant, not just an observer, having someone there to help, even if everyone feels "ok" immediately after the wreck, is a priority to being a buckaroo and catching someone involved who's left the scene. Weird things happen during an accident. Shock doesn't set in immediately, and adrenaline can mask serious injuries. Unless there's an immediate threat and you have the immediate ability to prevent further injuries, rendering aid at the scene of an accident takes precedence.

There are only a few problems with this. One, there's still a slight chance that you could be charged with leaving the scene of an accident. I don't think this only applies to the "participants", but any immediate "bystanders" as well. Also, the rider may get up and appear to be alright, and when you go screaming off the find the offending parties, the rider might pass out or not be alright. When I crashed my racebike in VIR last April, cornerworkers/witntesses said that after I stopped tumbling and landed back on the track, I stood up, shook my head and looked around. And then I promptly passed out, landing face first on the track. Plenty of time for someone to think I was ok, and then go off chasing the bad guy.

Will they have a cold air and a hot air pump? You know there's a big difference. I personally make sure I change the air in my tires before and after each riding season. They do have air stabilizers which will allow you to use "hot" air over the winter, but these are costly and can cause loss of traction if you don't ride carefully for the first 15 miles after applying them. Cold air use during the summer can cause side wall cracks, so isn't recommended. -- Dan Brown brown@XXXXXX From dc-cycles-request Wed Aug 22 11:54:05 2001 Return-Path: Received: from imo-r02.mx.aol.com (imo-r02.mx.aol.com [152.163.225.98]) by dirty.meretrix.com (8.10.0/8.10.0) with ESMTP id f7MFs5606303 for ; Wed, 22 Aug 2001 11:54:05 -0400 (EDT) Received: from Gawthrop@XXXXXX by imo-r02.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v31_r1.4.) id 2.55.1a2d3b86 (2525) for ; Wed, 22 Aug 2001 11:53:52 -0400 (EDT) From: Gawthrop@XXXXXX Message-ID: <55.1a2d3b86.28b52f90@aol.com> Date: Wed, 22 Aug 2001 11:53:52 EDT Subject: Heads up!!!

I showed up right after some guy on a brand spankin' new 'busa (complete with 30 tags) just got run off the road by some lady who was *reading something*!!! All this from the dude who was trying to take stock of himself. All things considered he came through it pretty well, torn jeans and a 4" x 2" patch of roadrash, and fairing and pipe damage. It could have been far worse. But the lady **just took off**!!!! He said that she actually sped up after he hit the ground!! My question to the enwizended (sp?) congress that is DC Cycles is; If one had seen the actual incident, do you stop to check on the victim to see if he's ok, or take off and chase down the perpetrator to get the plate # etc.?? ----------------------- And SJ wrote: From: Sean Jordan Subject: Re: Question >If one had seen the actual >incident, do you stop to check on the victim to see if >he's ok, or take off and chase down the perpetrator to >get the plate # etc.?? I'm having severe problems with the fact that you're even asking, but.... STOP AND CHECK ON THE VICTIM!!! Justice is worthless to the dead! --------------- And the dead don't need justice! I don't think it is always so black/white. This very thing happened to one of the Mofos as a result of road-rage. Dude slammed on his breaks and said Mofo took a low-side in heavy but slow moving traffic. I was two bikes back and decided to chase after the perpetrator. He stopped and I parked in front of his car and began getting info. Of course others did stop, and so did car traffic to lend assistance. My concern at the time was absolutely for my friend, but I had the option of going after the f-k-face who caused the accident, so I did. Now, if it is just you and a buddy on the back-roads, of course your concern will be for your buddy more than another driver that caused the accident.

It's kind of a cool virus, actually. I've received over 8,000 SirCam messages at work in the past 3-1/2 weeks (two email addresses that are published on our Web site). I say it's cool, because the attachment consists of the virus code wrapped around a randomly-selected file from the infected machine. If you're computer-literate at a low enough level, you can strip off the virus code and play with the base file.

This one is difficult because unless you saw what happened, you have to take the motorcyclist's word about the accident. If you didn't see the accident, how are you going to chase down the perp? Are you going to rely on the "victim's" description? I see some prollems. Kind of like the Twilight Zone where the woman gets raped then ID's the perp, who is then killed by her husband; everything's fine 'til they get back in the car and the woman starts identifying more and more perp's, randomly, as they drive down the road. Now if you saw the accident, that's a different story. I say do a quick head check on the victim as you accelerate by, chase the stupid bitch to the next stoplight, dismount and remove your Louisville Slugger from its convenient carrying bag in one smooth, oft-practiced motion. Saunter calmly up to the driver's side and yank the door open, taking care to crush the cellphone that will inevitably fall from inside the car to the pavement. Yank "Miss Gotta-Read" from behind the steering wheel and into the street. Holding her off the ground by her hair, turn and wave the bat to the horrified onlookers. Yell, "DO ANY OF YOU RETARDED PIECES OF SHIT WANT SOME OF THIS?" In one smooth motion (remember: riding bikes is all about smoothness), bounce her head of the trunk of the car and do your best Manny Ramirez imitation; I mean, swing for the goddamn fences. Then you need to - -urrp-slobber M-/-huhnn?? drool---oops. Um. Sorry about that. I'm pretty sure you shouldn't do what I said. Nevermind.

I live in an apartment building with street parking and partially covered parking under the buildling. I was told it was against fire code regulations to park my cycle under the building in case of vandalism. I park my motorcycle in the much safer parking garage one block away. In order to enter the garage with Colonial Parking's useless"key system" (which is not a key but a credit card [try holding on to that while operating a motorcycle to your parking space]) I have to get off the bike while it is on the sensors, find the card, and stick it into their machine, put the card away, get back onto the bike. In order to get out, I have to stop the bike over the sensors and twist to the right and back in order to put the card in the machine. What a pain! The advantages outweigh the hassle- safe, dry bike, no neighbors complaining about a mc engine running at early hours and not dealing with an idiot rental agency.

I'm wondering if this is a typo (anyone else got you registration handy to check?), or if the state(VA)/DMV consider bikes to be a different class of vehicle then cars - therefore listing them as only 1. I've noticed that on toll roads and such, that 2 axle vehicles pay one rate, while 3 or more pay additional fees. I've never seen any sign at all for "1 axle" vehicles. I'm wondering if I can legally start blowing the toll gate (use smart-tag lane) on the Dulles toll road - I can see the court case now "Well your Honor, the sign said 50 cents for a 2 axle vehicle, but the DMV has informed me that I've only got one -see it's right here on the registration." This would of course work better if everyone's (bikers from VA) registration slip states one as opposed to two. -Calvin From dc-cycles-request Thu Aug 23 16:02:13 2001 Return-Path: Received: from femail17.sdc1.sfba.home.com (femail17.sdc1.sfba.home.com [24.0.95.144]) by dirty.meretrix.com (8.10.0/8.10.0) with ESMTP id f7NK2D606294 for ; Thu, 23 Aug 2001 16:02:13 -0400 (EDT) Received: from vaio ([24.6.106.133]) by femail17.sdc1.sfba.home.com (InterMail vM.4.01.03.20 201-229-121-120-20010223) with SMTP id <20010823200202.EAFG28093.femail17.sdc1.sfba.home.com@vaio> for ; Thu, 23 Aug 2001 13:02:02 -0700 Message-ID: <001801c12c0e$baedde80$6401a8c0@Home> From: "James Reazor" To: "DC-CYCLES" References: Subject: Re: Stoplight triggers not triggering Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2001 16:03:51 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4522.1200 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.50.4522.1200 Me too but the gates my card opens are generally 8 feet tall with razor wire at the top and flanked by armed guards.

I'm wondering if this is a typo (anyone else got you registration handy to check?), or if the state(VA)/DMV consider bikes to be a different class of vehicle then cars - therefore listing them as only 1. I've noticed that on toll roads and such, that 2 axle vehicles pay one rate, while 3 or more pay additional fees. I've never seen any sign at all for "1 axle" vehicles. I'm wondering if I can legally start blowing the toll gate (use smart-tag lane) on the Dulles toll road - I can see the court case now "Well your Honor, the sign said 50 cents for a 2 axle vehicle, but the DMV has informed me that I've only got one -see it's right here on the registration."

I need some advice on repairing my 1981 KZ650 so I can get it registered here in MD. I am looking for a good shop or mechanic that can do some repairs to my bike. Specifically, I have a leaking carb, one as far as I can tell with my untrained eye. It seems like it is leaking where the parts come together (seal? gasket?) Sorry for my lack of technical terminology here. I have had one estimate from a shop, but since I am new to the area and dont want to pay an inflated price just because i am new/a woman/not very motorcycle repair savvy, etc., so I am looking for a second opinion. If anyone out there has any suggestions on where I can get a fair estimate for the work I would appreciate it. Or if there are any independent mechanics who would be willing to take a look at it. I would prefer somewhere in DC or MD just because of my location and lack of other transportation, but any suggestions are welcome. Thank you all! If the list archives are any indication of whos still on the list, sounds like I am in good and helpful hands. -charlene (KZ650) -- Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net From dc-cycles-request Fri Aug 24 11:25:51 2001 Return-Path: Received: from web12202.mail.yahoo.com (web12202.mail.yahoo.com [216.136.173.86]) by dirty.meretrix.com (8.10.0/8.10.0) with SMTP id f7OFPp626808 for ; Fri, 24 Aug 2001 11:25:51 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <20010824152546.25562.qmail@web12202.mail.yahoo.com> Received: from [165.247.83.153] by web12202.mail.yahoo.com; Fri, 24 Aug 2001 08:25:46 PDT Date: Fri, 24 Aug 2001 08:25:46 -0700 (PDT) From: Corbett B Subject: FYI - 10th Anniversary at Asylum this Saturday 8/25/01 To: DC Cycles MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Just saw a brief announcement in the CityPaper that Asylum Bar and Lounge (2471 18th St. NW in Adams Morgan)was celebrating their 10th Anniversary this Saturday, August 25th.

For those who don't know, Asylum is an dark dank little basement of a bar in Adams Morgan that caters to the ecclectic mix of motorcyclist and bicycle courier...it also inherited the displaced Crow Bar crowd. At least the beer is usually cold, they try to provide you motorcycle parking out front, there's a place to hang your helmet over the bar, and a closed circuit camera that allows you to view your bike while seated at the bar. ===== -Corbett '99 BMW K1200RS AMA Member BMW Motorcycle Owners Association Member __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

After not touching a motorcycle for 15 years, I recently purchased a 1999 Harley-Davidson Sportster. Its great getting back into riding. Now for your question, are you aware that U-Haul actually has a "motorcycle" trailer? Not every location has one, but U-Haul of Takoma Park at New Hampshire and East-West Highway has one. You might have better luck finding it available than a normal trailer. I used the trailer recently and it works pretty well. You can actually ride the bike right up onto it. You will need your own tie-downs however. It only costs $15 a day.

OK folks.  My current plan is to RIDE down early Friday morning and stay all
three days coming back on Sunday afternoon/evening.  I already have a room
booked in Danville with double beds.  Paul mentioned that he might take me
up
on the second bed but, he wasn't sure yet.  Steve Meredith also expressed
an
interest.  I have no problems with people crashing on the floor.  The more
the merrier and less cost for the room.  ;-)

Does anyone have an late 70's to early 80's cycle tags they > > don't want? No But! I remember really old Florida tags. First: You replaced them every year, the _whole tag_. Second: They were tin or steel, vibration invariably broke them off at the mount holes, it was common to re-mount them upside down to make them last the year. Third: This was pre-turn signals, and at the time it was common among the guys I rode with for the passenger to just stand up as the bike came to a stop and let it roll out from under you. How is this related to tags? Florida tags at the time were about 4 inches high and maybe 10 inches or more wide with _sharp_ edges. You damn well better spread your legs as you stepped off or you got a "free" vasectomy. There are guys out there with scars on their inner thighs to this day. Funny story: I gave a friend a ride back to the military school he attended (I guess he was a bad boy.) When we arrived a bunch of his friends were standing out front watching him ride up on OH MY GOD A MOTORCYCLE!! He did the stand up to let the bike roll out from under him trick.... Did I mention that I was also the first in our group to have saddle bags? HE HE HE.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit We had beautiful weather for Bike Night last night at Uncle Jed's in Bethesda, MD. I wasn't keeping track, but I'm guessing maybe 20-25 people were there (at least up until I left around 7pm). Thanks for those who came out to support the event. I hope more people showed up afterwards ... especially all those MD people who "complained" that last year we didn't do any Bike Nights on the other side of the river! A very special "thank you" to Lisa Goddard for organizing the event. We're working on 2 more Bike Nights in September to finish out the year. Keep checking the website http://www.geocities.com/bikenight for info.
