From dc-cycles-request Sun Aug 1 09:52:08 1999 From: Jeanies01@XXXXXX Date: Sun, 1 Aug 1999 09:51:22 EDT Subject: 750 Shadow windshield To: dc-cycles@XXXXXX I recently bought a 99 Honda Shadow 750 Deluxe. I had the dealer order and install the Honda windshield that goes on the bike. The mountings are all chrome and looks great.....however the shield is not adjustable and I really need it to be a couple of inches higher. Anyone out there know of another shield that might fit these mountings? Or are there any Shadow riders out there that know how I can raise this silly thing? Jeanie S.

One weekend riders were having trouble picking out the flagger amongst all the spectators, as that is a fast section of track, so they closed it off. I thinks that's why. Someone else correct me if I'm wrong. I dont really understand it. I think the flagger should be in the crows nest, and let as many spectators as possible watch from beneath it. The crows nest/hot tub is easiest to see anyway from the top of 4, and then everyone could have their cake and eat it too. MARRC doesn't like putting people in that thing though, and their not dumb guys so there must be a good reason. Jonathan Broga > Why did they have the area at the carousel blocked off? > > Gary W.

I know it's hard not to tailgate -- if you leave appropriate following distance, cars will often fill the space in front of you. The only things I think you can do are-- 1. Watch even farther ahead, 2. Stay to one side or another so you can go between cars if you can't stop (this also protects you from tailgaters) 3. Switch lanes if possible to avoid an upcoming hazard (car on the side of the road might pull out into traffic). best wishes to the hurt rider, Chris Norloff From dc-cycles-request Mon Aug 2 09:08:10 1999 X-Sender: cnorloff@XXXXXX Date: Mon, 02 Aug 1999 08:23:22 -0400 To: "Louis F.

When I went, with another rider, the road was clear but there was fog on the mountain. Sometimes due to road condtions (wind, mostly) they'll close the road to motorcycles. Mt. Washington sticks up high enough that the jetstream touches the top sometimes -- the highest winds ever recorded were recorded there, 238 mph as I recall. The old buildings have logging chains thrown over the roof and anchored on each side to hold things together. The road was paved for the bottom half, and gravel for the top half. There's no guardrails - if you went off the road, you'd be lucky if people could find pieces of you at the bottom of the mountain. I found that 10-20 mph was as fast as I felt comfortable, mostly not knowing if a car would come around a corner in the middle of the lane. I didn't time the ride, but I'd guesstimate it was 25-35 minutes each way. This is not a road to hurry on.

I'm unsure of the reason other than what Jonothan brought up, that the riders are looking to that area for flagging information and too many people may distract from the flagger. That corner used to be worked from across the track, a little up from the hot-tub. A worker got hit last year (pick-up, not a flagger) in that corner and busted a leg, so now they keep the flaggers in the tub. As for keeping spectators out of the tub, it seems to be a relatively new policy and may only be selective. Last year we made people get in the tub if they wanted to watch from turn 3/10. Whatever the reasons for holding people back, they are based in safety.

I'm glad you're mostly okay. I hate to potentially rub salt in a wound, but what kind of protection were you wearing besides a helmet? If you got road rash all over your arms and legs, I have to assume you weren't wearing a jacket or riding pants. Maybe you can spend some of your award money on a set of leathers? (I was riding on Saturday in full leathers and even then it wasn't that bad, heat-wise) I don't want to tell others what to wear or how to ride - it's just a suggestion.

They were surgeons, carpenters, teachers, troopers, grandparents. Many were women, some atop their own cruisers, others perched behind their significant biker. Their age averaged 45, though they spanned five decades. They spoke Harleyspeak, where hogs don't swill table scraps, and owning a full dresser doesn't mean you just did your laundry. They were joining 10,000 other Harleys at a South Carolina rally. What he could never have done was pull over 75 folks at once on Suzukis or any bike other than Harley. Riders of German BMWs, Italian Moto Guzzis and Japanese Yamahas insist, with ample reason, that their bikes are vastly superior, yet none inspires cultlike devotion. We admire perfection; we never love it. Germans cherish efficiency; Italians, panache; Japanese, technological precision. But Americans love Harley, this burnished behemoth that quakes and roars and leaks and demands attention like a petulant bride. Only Harley riders, notes Brock Yates, feel brand loyalty sufficient to tattoo their bike's logo on their bodies. With intelligence, authority and macho zest--and enough sociopolitical insight to justify its grandiose subtitle--"Outlaw Machine" explains the lure, makes clear why when you buy a Harley you get not just a bike but a family. Yates says we love the Harley because it is "uncompromising and unfailingly honest . . . so elemental, so lusty, so purely and classically American." Its first model appeared in the same year as the first World Series, 1903, and its image was cast by outlaws in the overblown Hollister, Calif., "riot" of 1947. A Life magazine photo of a drunken, beefy Tulare Raider or Booze Fighter (the gangs partying brashly in Hollister) indirectly inspired the Marlon Brando film "The Wild One," where Brando's bikers terrorize a town. Meanwhile, in very real life, "angry youths rebelling against the smarmy Ike and Mamie Good Life" had formed the Hell's Angels, shaped in the late 1950s by the organizational genius of Ralph "Sonny" Barger, the Luciano of denim, into the most feared and glamorized club in America. Renegades rode Harleys. Try as it might, Harley-Davidson could not shed the image. It made the outlaw machine. Charting the company's evolution from William Harley and Arthur and Walter Davidson's first motorized bicycle to today's majestic Road Kings, Yates argues that Harley couldn't thrive until it embraced its outlaw mystique. We see Harley's first trademark V-twin in 1909, the inspired launching of its own magazine in 1916, its 1922 price-fixing scheme with a manufacturer called Indian, its defining classic 1936 Knucklehead model. Following Indian's 1953 demise, Harley became America's lone motorcycle, but soon imports threatened it with extinction. Barely surviving under the clueless though supportive brief ownership of AMF, Harley finally found what would help it prosper: the technological leap of its Evolution engine and, crucially, the awareness by third-generation Harley executive and authentic biker Willie G. Davidson of Harley's don't-you-dare-fence-me-in appeal. It is the mustang for roaming today's frontier: 100 percent all-American, say those who sneer at Honda and Kawasaki rice-burners that are actually made by Yanks in Ohio and Nebraska. By the '90s, Harley became our most fashionable emblem of in-your-face virility. Boomers had to have one. Harley had always drawn the discontented, the burned-out, the restless, and now that's most of us. Mild-mannered college professors could climb on and instantly chair Hell's Curriculum Committee. There is also the RUB, the Rich Urban Biker. Lawyers and dentists on Sundays now shun their Polo knits, donning boots and leathers to become faux outlaws on Westchester and Bethesda highways, basking in Harley's paradoxical confluence of chic and bad-to-the-bone images, a double-think possible only in a country that's always lionized the wolfish renegade, its Jesse James and Pretty Boy Floyd. Each weekend, fiftysomething executives escape the corporate cookie-cutter, update doo-wop to do-rags, and resurrect their rebellious youth. Yates can ramble--a chapter about the Daytona, Fla., Bike Week wanders into analysis of the computer age, then to Harleys as art--but his meandering always stays interesting and itself echoes the rhythm of a good motorcycle tour and the drifting reflectiveness of a rider's mind. If you want to know why 20 gleaming Harleys just passed your minivan, and why on one some gray-bearded outlaw or cardiologist wore a T-shirt reading "I'd rather see my sister in a whorehouse than my brother on a Honda," "Outlaw Machine" is the second most pleasurable way to find out.

Anyone into rafting on the list? I'm going with some friends to this - riding up there with gear strapped to the tank. Should be a blast. ================================= http://aceraft.com/Rafting/gauleyseason.html Every fall in West Virginia (no jokes please) the dam on the Gauley River is released, creating incredible whitewater rafting conditions. I have been a couple of times, and let me tell you, it is truly amazing, and the scenery is beautiful as well. The company that I have gone with in the past is Ace Whitewater. They have professional and safety conscious rafting guides and good campgrounds. The plan would be to drive up on a Friday afternoon (it takes about 4hrs), raft on Saturday, and come home on Sunday. The rafting cost is about $100 (it could be less if we can get 14 or more people in our group), and camping is $8 per night. In the past, we've packed lunch and breakfast, and eaten dinner in the lodge after rafting (you'll be too tired to cook for yourself). Oh, and don't forget the brew...it's a party at night! So we're looking at about $120 for the weekend...not bad. The trips are from Sept. 10th through Oct. 17th. Sooner is better, because it starts to get a bit chilly up there (bring or rent a wet suit at Ace), so please let me know if you're interested so I can get the ball rolling. As far as skill, you need to know how to swim, and have a little (sometimes a lot of) courage. It would be a great time! ___________________________________________ Mike Troutman http://www.troutman.org '97 Honda VFR 750 Work is for people who don't know how to ride a motorcycle.

The VFR list I am on (several hundred users) mails out distributions >within a minute or so. This could be described as a feature. When a spirited argument over the perils of helmet wearing breaks out, a good delivery lag time helps to slow things down. :) When a new message is posted, software delivers a copy of the message to each recipient in the subscriber list sequentially (mostly, people whose email goes to the same mail server are bundled together so that only one copy of the message need be sent). Walking down the subscriber list can take time, particularly when some mail servers respond slowly, or must be timed out as unreachable. So people at the top of the subscriber list see almost immediate response, while those near the bottom won't get the message for 10-15 minutes or so. Since the subscriber list is maintained in the order in which people subscribed, subscribers with tenure are favored, so at least it isn't wholly arbitrary. Just stay on the list for a few years, and the messages gradually reach you faster and faster. :) The dc-cycles list has about 230 people on it now. This is still a small mailing list (relative to less small ones), but is big enough to require software specialized to handle large mailing lists. In particular, a long list of email subscribers shouldn't be processed purely sequentially, you can improve latency by delivering messages to multiple mail servers in parallel. I'll look into setting up smarter list delivery software, this should improve the response time somewhat (at the risk of accelerating the pace of silly arguments). BTW, the correct address to which postings should be sent is 'dc-cycles@XXXXXX'. If you send to either of the old cs.umd.edu or umiacs.umd.edu addresses, you're just slowing things down further, as the message now needs to push through the mail systems at UMD, which forward your message to the right place. Sending to 'dc-cycles@XXXXXX' is pretty much the same as 'dc-cycles@XXXXXX', as Meretrix Technologies' global headquarters is co-located with the dc-cycles global computing super-pop. -harry From dc-cycles-request Mon Aug 2 21:18:28 1999 Date: Mon, 02 Aug 1999 21:26:25 -0700 From: "John C.

I think there is one pithy idea that can be crystallized from Chris's sensible remarks: maximize your air cushion. I might be wrong, but isn't this a drivers'-ed (cage) notion? I cringe every time I see a biker following a cage too closely. I'm not that trusting I guess... > best wishes to the hurt rider, Indeed. Anyone know where he's hospitalized or what his name is?

They block their vision and hearing with goofy full-face helmets,then ride around with pipes so quiet they need to use their horns to announce their presence. They take the chance of flipping the bike by using the front brake. They run synthetic oil w/out Slick 50 or Prolong(they don't even use Splitfires). They don't even ride with guns.

I have another question for you. When I clean my bike, I use Honda Cleaner with terry cloth towels that I pick up in bulk at BJs or Costco. Lately I've been trying to be more environmentally sensitive. It seems a waste to use these towels once, then toss them. So I tried running them through the washing machine (just the towels, not with my clothes!) with my regular detergent (Tide I think...). They came out with grease and dirt still in them. Is there a way to successfully clean them? Anything that will really get the grease and grime out, or am I just supposed to send them off to a land fill?

The discussion is about keeping a good following distance in traffic, specifically DC rush hour traffic. At 60mph you should have at least 180 ft. following distance (2 second minimum following distance at 88 ft./sec (60 mph). In my 4 years of commuting into DC by motorcycle, year round, I regularly see people following at only 10-15 ft. That means you could put 6 cars in 180 ft., and given the traffic density and speed, this happens. Slowing down to increase following distance whenever a car pulls in front doesn't always work, because then you just endanger yourself from tailgaters behind you. If I can, I always adjust speed (and position) to get good following distance. The question is what to do if you can't do that. Also, how about using your name here? This "ImTheMan" business is okay on AOL, but this is not AOL.

The best thing to get any spots out, grease or otherwise, is to use hand cleaner. Not the orange stuff but the really smelly white gunk. Does a great job. Also if the towels are white, you can use a product called Iron Out. It's mainly used to get rust stains out of toliets or tubs but does wonders on whites too. Also, afterwards to avoid the lint from the towels, line dry them - no machine dry. > -----Original Message----- > From: Louis F.

A friend of mine worked as a mechanic at X-pert tune (dont ask, its like jiffy lube), and their shop was near a laundromat. One day he took a big wad of shop towels, threw them in a washer, and sat around. The lady who owned the laundromat takes at look at him (greasy and wearing a mechanic shirt) and asks "Those aren't shop towels, are they?" He's like "Yeah, they are." She gets all irate, bitching and yelling that now she has to replace the whole washer now, and that you can't get the grease and crap out of it ever again. I reccomend the little blue things that come in rolls. They suck compared to shop towels, but apparently you can never really get them shoppies clean. I have found a more ideal solution to getting car/bike grease off, however. I just invite 3-4 models over to my house for a nice relaxing sponge bath. By far the best way to go. Alex.

The Unmuffled Cry of the Russian Soul from http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/WPlate/1999-08/03/058l-080399-idx.html Vrooom! The Unmuffled Cry of the Russian Soul In Moscow, Motorcycles Are a Mode of Expression By Daniel Williams Washington Post Foreign Service Tuesday, August 3, 1999; Page A01 MOSCOW, Aug. 2=97As if motoring in Moscow weren't already harrowing -- with high-speed cars weaving across lanes, drunken pedestrians shuffling into traffic, freelance taxis jockeying for fares and bribe-hungry police preying on law-abiding drivers -- witness the capital's latest craze: swarms of motorcyclists buzzing about hornet-like on Moscow's massive boulevards. Motorcycling is the latest fashion to hit the city, following hard upon Rollerblading, hot dog vending and mafia shootouts. Cycle stores report a spike in sales, and bike clubs are recruiting a broad band of new members. The Soviet Union once had urban bikers, too, but they were considered outlaws. Almost anyone riding for fun was considered a potential subversive. Riding in groups was cause for a police investigation. Bikers regarded themselves as fast-moving dissidents; they got kicks out of cruising the city late at night, running red lights and knocking nightsticks out of policemen's hands. They were notorious for brawling at rock concerts. Today, it is the Russian establishment that is engaged in uproarious high jinks, from public drunkenness to breathtaking larceny. Bikers, by contrast, have gone legit. If anything, they think of themselves as upholders of Russian ideals. "It was interesting before -- recklessness as a form of struggle. We had to look different, act different as a way to feel free. Now it's not necessary. What's the excitement from running red lights? Everybody's doing it," said Aleksander Zaldastanov, leader of a cycle club called the Night Wolves. Other clubs in town go by such names as the Cossacks, the Skulls and Into the Night. Zaldastanov prefers to use his nickname, Surgeon; he's a physician. He says he was drawn to biking by contact with injured cyclists he treated in the late 1980s. Back then, bikers were called Rockers. Now the categories are more complex: Cruisers, who ride choppers with extended front forks, low exhaust pipes and raindrop-shaped gas tanks; Streetbikers, who zip around on Japanese sports models; Crossers, who are off-road enthusiasts. Surgeon, a muscular fellow who wears a snakeskin vest, an array of alligator wrist bands, skull-shaped rings and lightning bolt tattoos, said the Night Wolves want to be the vanguard of a new, responsible Russia. His group promotes Russian-made bikes, although many of his members ride concoctions that include foreign parts. "A great power should not only have an army, but its own motorbike," Surgeon said. Moscow would seem an unlikely place for motorcycle riding to prosper. Winter takes a big bite out of bike time. Only from May to early November is the weather likely to be free enough of snow or rain for much open-air traveling -- and even then, the climate is unpredictable. No matter. When Muscovites take to something, they take to it big, slick streets be damned. "We're very much attached to self-expression. And for most Russian riders, bikes aren't transportation, they're a reflection of the soul. For fun, it beats drinking," said Andrei Badaev, a slender, 21-year-old motorcycle salesman who cruises in a battered Izh, a standby brand of the Soviet era. His bike is out of commission for the moment; he took a spill the other day on a slippery, potholed street. His girlfriend resolutely refuses to ride with him. During the late Soviet years, motorcycling for most riders was hardly recreational; it was mainly the preserve of the army, the police and farmers. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, cycle production declined, as did just about every other industrial activity. Annual sales fell quickly from a peak of about 2 million at the beginning of the decade to 600,000, then a steeper slide leveled off at about 60,000 in 1997. The new rich of Russia turned to foreign brands, such as Honda and Suzuki. With agriculture in a deep depression, farmers practically stopped buying. In the 1980s, the Uralmoto motorcycle firm, a popular Soviet manufacturer, sold about 130,000 bikes a year, many with sidecars so that state farm workers could ferry produce from field to warehouse. Last year, Uralmoto sold 7,000 and hopes to double that this year. This spring, the factory turned out a new model, the Wolf -- black and shiny, with aerodynamic lines. "This bike is for anything but hauling potatoes," said Ilya Burlyakov, the Uralmoto sales representative in Moscow. Unsurprisingly, the ad slogan for the Wolf is "Leader of the Pack." Salesmen say customers fit into two categories -- the office worker and the thrill seeker. The former regards the maneuverability of a bike as a way to beat Moscow's wall-to-wall rush-hour traffic and its small size as a way to overcome the city's tight parking situation. The latter seeks, in the words of young Badaev, "to pull up to a corner, have everyone admire his tan legs and think he's cool." Sometimes, the two types converge. "You see these businessmen shedding their suits for weird black leather jackets or those jazzed-up, colorful sport bike outfits. You can tell they're not doing this just for convenience," said Faris Obaidi, an Iraqi Russian who sells American-made Harley-Davidson bikes. Zaldastanov, a k a Surgeon, said he regards motorcycle clubs as repositories of Russia's lost communal values. "Bikes are a symbol which unites us. That's what I think people see in motorcycles today. Real bikers ride in groups. It's a counter to mindless individualism. Maybe it's just nostalgia, but people long to be together, drink vodka under a tree, be happy," he said. To that end, Surgeon is organizing a cycle jamboree on Aug. 20. One such festival included medieval-style jousting by bike-borne contestants; a death-defying exhibition in which stunt men set themselves afire while atop motorbikes whirling inside a metal sphere; strippers; modern dancers; and demolition derbies. A commercial video of the event bore the warning, "Piracy can be harmful to your health." "You see, there's no happy medium in Russia," Surgeon said. "We either go all the way or do nothing." =A9 Copyright 1999 The Washington Post Company From dc-cycles-request Tue Aug 3 08:56:40 1999 From: "McCoy, Brian NAB02" To: "'dc'" Subject: RE: DC Sportbike Date: Tue, 3 Aug 1999 05:56:27 -0700 They've representation in the road-race crowd too..

Run 'em thru the washer with lots of Simple Green and the wash water on HOT. Don't let the washer hit the rinse cycle, else the cold water will help set the stains - stop it at the end of the wash cycle and restart. Do this about 4-5 times, and the rags *and* the washer will be squeaky clean.... Sometimes if the rags have a lot of oil in them, you'll get an oil ring around the top of the wash tub. Use the Simple Green and wash this off between rag wash cycles. FWIW, I do not wash rags which have moly grease on them or are really oil saturated - they're too far gone to reuse, usually. As much as I hate to do it, I still use the blue disposable shop paper towels for the really greasy/oily jobs..

I dunno... do they think of themselves that way? I always get the impression that the Harley thing is (for a certain group, not for all Harley riders!) a way to try to NOT uphold values for a little part of the day, probably as a reaction to being mainstream successful the rest of the time.

This > "ImTheMan" business is okay on > AOL, but this is not AOL. > > Chris Norloff Well you drive how you want to drive. I personally won't use my body and bike as a barrier for other cars not to get in front of me. And I would slow down only to increase the cushion, then resume speeds at the flow of traffic. If rush hour traffic is 60 mph then I should have enough time/speed/distance to create a cushion, without hitting the brakes. I find that cars behind me see the car in front of me and probably realize why i'm so far back, because i'm on a bike. If cars pass me, they usually pass the car in front of me too. I usually follow the 3 second rule, and feel I have plenty of time to come to a stop if need be. That following distance isn't 180ft. I never saw anywhere that your following distance should be X many feet. I've always heard it should be in seconds. I usually find there is space for 2 maybe 3 cars in front of me, and I'm confident that I could come to a stop and not hit the car in front of me. Evidently you are too, as you follow closer than your "180 feet". And I'd rather slow down (not braking mind you) and have the car behind me tailgate for a second than reduce my reaction time and space cushion. That car is probably going to tailgate me anyway, no matter what the position of the car in front of me. Either it will slow down and not tailgate me, or I'll deal with that problem next, as it's secondary, as a risk, than reducing my reaction time. I believe far more accidents are caused from biker error than tailgating error. I only recall seeing stories of "car turns or stops in front of biker, biker hits it" rather than "tailgater hits biker". Most idiots who tailgate will also jam on their brakes if they get too close.. that's still better than not having enough reaction time. I'd rather have the guy behind me jamming on brakes than the guy in front of me, and not having time/space to deal with it. If it's more than one car, and all the drivers in the left lane are idiots, I'll go to another lane where I'm more comfortable. As far as using my name, I try to keep my information off of the internet. I never used AOL. This isn't even my primary email address. If someone needs to know my name, they will know it. Why do you need to know my name anyway? I don't need you to tell me when it's okay or not to use an online nickname, I'll use my name when I see fit, and minimally. Like i said, drive how you want to drive. I generally recommend bikers to be yeilding, as we all know how vulnerable we are. - Ride safe. _____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

The road is paved but narrow and there is a good but of dirt and small gravel in places, mostly from runoff. Lots of burning brakes from all the SUV's on vacation. On the Concours it was all 1st and 2nd gear with lots of 1st! On the way down the brakes are cool though because the engine compression braking will keep the speed down.

I totally understand the desire to guard one's privacy, but for what it's worth, I'll tell you my reaction to people on lists, newsgroups, etc. who use nicknames only -- it's really hard to take them seriously. I'm not going to say this is an entirely rational reaction, but it's real. I would liken it to being at a social event and talking to someone who says "Hi, I'm Bob" and somone who sits there with a mask on so you can't ID them. It does kind of inhibit development of any kind of relationship or community or whatever. Sometimes what they have to say is good and interesting enough to me that they start to register as real people, but more often I feel like I'm hearing from a fictional character. Obviously you are free to do whatever you want, but the reality is that some people will have a negative reaction to it. I have no desire to get into a big debate about whether this is good or fair; it's just reality, in my experience, and pretty understandable, in my opinion. === John Whiteside Arlington, VA jwhiteside@XXXXXX _____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Dont care about riding during beautiful summer? Fast Lanes takes freaking forever to get your bike back. And they lie to you about how long it takes. Myself, my room-mate, Brian, and others have had this experience. Occasionally they do a good job, and Rick Beggs, the owner, is an excellent mechanic and a very cool guy. The problem is his employees suck ass, and they do shoddy work. Rick only does "hard stuff" and I doubt your Pipe-JetKit-FrontEnd would qualify. I used to wholeheartedly reccomend them. But I think I've downgraded their stock rating. Alex.

Bait? Assume cars are 15 ft. long and follow at 15 ft. Each car takes up 30 ft. of road, so 6 cars take up 180 ft. of road. This, of course, is sort of a theoretical max, but I regularly see people following at 10-15 ft. at 70mph, and they're no respector of anyone else on the road.

I've only bought accessories and tires (on one occasion) there. I've witnessed the mechanics drop a customer's bike once while I was there, and one horror story about some service that took forever circulated the list several weeks ago. There have been a number of good reports about service from Fast Lane also though, in addition to the fact that they sponsored some of the racers on the list. My impression has been that the quality of your experience with them is a bit of a roll of the dice. I've also felt that while disorganized and haphazard, they do know a thing or two about tuning bikes.

That would be 7 cars. In a 6 car situation, the lead car would have limitless following distance, and assuming a 15 ft following distance, from front of car 6 to tail of car 1 would be 165 feet. You'd need a 7th car to force the 180 ft theory.

The scenario is that you're following at 2 seconds at 60mph, that puts you 176 ft. behind the car in front of you (let's just call it 180 ft.) If cars are 15 ft. long and follow at 15 ft., then 6 cars will fit in that 180 ft. :-) Chris (wise-wise-guy) From dc-cycles-request Tue Aug 3 14:38:12 1999 From: "Bruce Norton" To: "DC-Cycles Mailing List" , "Grant Heffernan" Subject: Re: fast lane cycles Date: Tue, 3 Aug 1999 14:37:22 -0400 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2615.200 Hey Grant!

Was that a honda? I think I remember passing you, I started out the first hour with hopes of going all 60mins. Unfortunally I got the bingo fuel light at about 50 minutes. The two red flags kept us from having to do an extra pit stop. We ended up 5th in class, 22nd over all. Still I was happy to get down to '24's. Finally happy to break my best lap time on a bike with 1/2 the power, 2/3's the weight and 1/10th the cost... Lots of things to improve on the bike. I will do '20's before the year is out.

If anyone is interested heres their website: http://www.teamcalamari.com/dox/earra.html If you have never seen these little Yamahas race it is a blast. They might be small & slow compare to our bikes but these racers really like ride. The passing & dicing on this go cart track with its tight corners and roadcourse layout really lots of fun.

My yahoo user is also the info I use when I play yahoo spades and chess. So it's more than the 230 people he so proclaims.

I'm not on the list to make email friends or be email popular. I'm here to ride along. I could care less if anyone wants to ignore or take to heart what I have to say. AS far as I know, I haven't said anything rude or obnoxious, and tried to be helpful, or gave my point of view.. If I say what I believe are good ideas, then who does it hurt if someone else doesn't consider them. Not me. I think it's ridiculous for people to get all in a hubbub about a field for a user name. IMO it says that the person who started this thread is just a little too anal retentive.. I guess he'll correct my spelling errars and typo''s next. :) I forgot it was "i'm the man" as I created it a while back. It's a bit like judging a book by it's cover if you ask me. if people want to ignore the message fine by me. I doubt when I'm along for the ride anyone will be have any reason to dislike me, or be like "oh he's that jerk "imtheman" " so... I'm glad he kill filtered me and moved on.

If someone really wants to know who I am, then that person can find out. Even if I try to use some cutesy scheme like an anonymous re-mailer available at Cal-Berkley. The trail of electrons are there, all it talks is to let loose a few hounds. Even the lurkers have to disclose some kind of address to get our messages in the first place, so even if I remain silent you can know who I am by virture of hunting down my e-mail address. Also, is it really true each Intel Pentium III chip has a unique identifier sorta like network cards do? Do you think that can uniquely identify me to include cross-referencing my chip code, my ISP, and any other site I visit? Furthermore, how does Yahoo make its money when providing free services at no cost? Maybe they sell some kind of product, what could that be? My personnel information, nah, no one would ever do a thing like that. I mean, marketing data only includes postal mail addresses only, right? And do any ISPs and Yahoo play together? Does my credit card information ever get released without my knowledge. What exactly were the terms and conditions of my ISP, card issuer, Yahoo? Hmmmm....... Wait, I hear someone pounding the door..................

Pulling away from Tom and Jeannetts home in VA - Tom's leading, then J and then myself... we're on George Mason drive (4 lane road, 2 in each direction.) The three of us are in the left lane.. a smaller bus (hauling senior citizens) is on the right shoulder.. then pulls out swinging WIDE into the left-lane. It almost nails Tom, J slows - then accelerates around.. I'm still in the back watching - there was NO reason (at least obvious) for the vehicle to pull out wide like it did... he never had a turn signal on, and was still driving with 2 wheels in each lane.. We come up to a stoplight, and I'm right next to the driver.. window down I'm yelling at him to get the F off the road and learn to drive.. that he's going to (and about) hospitalize someone... the guy was a non-English speaking jerk-off apparently because he kept saying 'what?' - I leaned over and bashed in the driver door with my right foot... he started to get out, and I took off... damn jerkoff had NO clue why the 3 of us were so pissed. Plus he was cussing at me with a bus full of old people... hope they complained. Ok, now I'm pissed off.. but it was funny... Tom couldn't stop laughing that night...

One nice thing is that you can call and make an appointment, and when you drop off your bike, they'll be ready to work on it. Typical turnaround time seems to be very reasonable. I had my bike back in two days, and it would have been one except for a delay in getting in my front tire. In other words, they're honest. Dennis, their main man, is good at tuning, though he relies on "seat of the pants" techniques -- no dyno -- fwiw. They definitely have a clue. They field a racing team too... Pete.

Pulling away from Tom and Jeannetts home in VA - Tom's leading, then J and then myself... we're on George Mason drive (4 lane road, 2 in each direction.) The three of us are in the left lane.. a smaller bus (hauling senior citizens) is on the right shoulder.. then pulls out swinging WIDE into the left-lane. It almost nails Tom, J slows - then accelerates around.. I'm still in the back watching - there was NO reason (at least obvious) for the vehicle to pull out wide like it did... he never had a turn signal on, and was still driving with 2 wheels in each lane.. We come up to a stoplight, and I'm right next to the driver.. window down I'm yelling at him to get the F off the road and learn to drive.. that he's going to (and about) hospitalize someone... the guy was a non-English speaking jerk-off apparently because he kept saying 'what?' - I leaned over and bashed in the driver door with my right foot... he started to get out, and I took off... damn jerkoff had NO clue why the 3 of us were so pissed. Plus he was cussing at me with a bus full of old people... hope they complained. Ok, now I'm pissed off.. but it was funny... Tom couldn't stop laughing that night...

These mirrors are on longer stalks and have a larger surface area than our stock items, which are notorious for elbow-reflection.

Luckily I'm not trying to hide from him. But as far as most internet users go, i'm pretty much not findable without someone breaking the law. theoretically one could pay cash for isp service and use fake info (you have to provide money more than you do ID), and then never put their real info on the net. So it's not all that hard. Oh and once your name gets on one list, it shouldn't be hard for that company to share their list. Like maybe a DC bike shop gets this list, then decides to sell all it's names to another list, such as a car shop.. I swear, spam is almost like VD now adays. And then, also, people on the net just don't need to know my full name or address or phone number.. That'll avoid prank phone calls, or maybe avoid some pissed off psychopath that I flamed hehe. For everyone who wants to post their information, why not include you DOB, SSN, driv. lisc #, CC info and whatever else :) Hey has anyone been to that 1-800 us search site? that looks kind of scary.. it looks like it woudln't take much for a person to get your name, and just a little other info, like a previous address, and get all the rest of the info above. --- Michael Jay wrote: > Hi everybody, > > What our dear friend, "the man," may sadly discover > is that no one using > such a public communications link has as much > privacy as one thinks. > > If someone really wants to know who I am, then that > person can find out. > Even if I try to use some cutesy scheme like an > anonymous re-mailer > available at Cal-Berkley.

When anon.penet.fi went down, a friend who worked at Va Tech in the computer lab set up a box for friends to use. It's evolved into the only way I know of to remain mostly anonymous. Right now, about 80 friends have free telnet access to a machine which gives mail, news and web space. To my knowledge, no one has ever abused their account by spamming/massmailing. We make donations to the owner to support the T1 costs, he admins for free, and many other folks donate things like the Ultra 10 that holds news for us. No dialup, no billing info, and for many, no real names. But, other than this scenario, I'm unaware of a way to be even vaguely hidden while using the net.

Chris Weaver '98 VTR 1000 To: Michael Jay , "'dc-cycles@XXXXXX'" cc: From: ITM Date: 08/04/99 03:08:16 PM GMT Subject: RE: Illusion of Privacy in the Computer Age (Press Release: Poli ce Seek Car That Seriously Injured Motorcyclist) Well of course Big brother could track most people down through the net following ip addresses. Luckily I'm not trying to hide from him. But as far as most internet users go, i'm pretty much not findable without someone breaking the law. theoretically one could pay cash for isp service and use fake info (you have to provide money more than you do ID), and then never put their real info on the net. So it's not all that hard. Oh and once your name gets on one list, it shouldn't be hard for that company to share their list. Like maybe a DC bike shop gets this list, then decides to sell all it's names to another list, such as a car shop.. I swear, spam is almost like VD now adays. And then, also, people on the net just don't need to know my full name or address or phone number.. That'll avoid prank phone calls, or maybe avoid some pissed off psychopath that I flamed hehe. For everyone who wants to post their information, why not include you DOB, SSN, driv. lisc #, CC info and whatever else :) Hey has anyone been to that 1-800 us search site? that looks kind of scary.. it looks like it woudln't take much for a person to get your name, and just a little other info, like a previous address, and get all the rest of the info above. ---------------------------------------------------------------- The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

What do I have to loose.. I have no credit cards, so noone can fraud me there. I do have bank accounts, but I also keep track of my records on paper to form a check and balance with my bank. If someone knows my phone number, what can they possibly do? Same with my address.. I move far to often for the information to be valid in any real way. A psycho will do what they please, no matter how deeply I burry my information - their motivation is not ease of their prey. My only legal ownership is one 87 VFR700 that's worth maybe $1000 - hardly motivation for a theif to tail me with so much more floating about out there. Maybe *I* am in a unique position with no family, and no posessions (hrm, what was the saying.. somthing about 'freedom is having nothing left to loose'?). *I* will freely and willingly give my information if it's needed or requested (within reason - not going to give my bank info to joe schmoe walking down the street - but I'll enter it for a Dean Witter webpage). I've been this way since early 92 when I first got on-line... the worst that's happened to me? Spam-mail both on-line and in my mailbox... which is easy enough to ignore and bin. And now for the motorcycle part... I'm busy this Saturday... but I'm interested in checking out the YSR endurance races on Sunday (hrm, wonder if they'll accept a WERA race license) - anyone interested in doing a couple hundred miles in the morning, then the races in the afternoon?

Well, how about some of the 'standard' NoVA backroads, coming across the river at point of rocks then on some of my fav. backroads over to 75/80 (the YSR raceway) - met up at like 10am.. hit the races about 1~2, hang out till 4~5 then find your own way home...

The luck part? If you sorta forget who it goes back together, carefull take apart #2 and use it as a visual aid. By #4 you should be a pro.

Making the deal seems a little difficult, though. I hate haggling. The bike is a Y2K model and has an MSRP of $3999 (or so, I'm not sure). I offered $4000 out the door, everything included (tax, title, tags, freight, who-know-what-else). We haggled for a while, I'm not even sure how close we got (within $200, I think), but we didn't hit the magic number. I walked out, but I have doubts. Did I make a reasonable offer? Should I have been willing to pay some of the extra costs? Did I mention I hate haggling? They (Freestate cycle) are the only dealer in the area that has one of these bikes right now. Other dealers will have them eventually.

Ride safe, be careful. The other week,my father and I had an incident on the Beltway(in his cage,fortunately). We had just crossed the Woodrow Wilson heading east when we smelled deisel fuel. Just a couple yards down the road was a semi on the right shoulder and a puddle of liquid in the right lane. Dad slowed down and we wound up skating through a puddle of deisel. The cage handled funny for a few miles until the tires were scrubbed clean,but if we'd been on our bikes it would've been ugly. Fortunately,we saw flashing lights coming in the distance,so hopefully the lane was closed before a two-wheeler hit it. What he said. Be careful.

It's main prob is too much weight(ex:the tie rod connecting the brake pedal to the master cylinder could be used by a Beemer as a driveshaft).

The price can also be determined by how popular the model is, or what the market will bear. But it's unlikely that, w/o a little research, you are going to know what the current market is. So, work with what you do know. To begin with, the thing you should be negotiating is the actual price of the bike. You're a customer that has nothing to do with the operation of Freestate. But from their point of view, you are someone who wants something they have and you become an excellent candidate for passing some of their costs onto, like freight. Don't allow this. Simply refuse it. Vehicle manufacturers insist on marketing their products through franchising, so let them deal with how they get their product to market. If you didn't buy the bike, would you pay the freight? However, if you buy the bike you should be willing to take on the costs of owning it (ie, title, tax, tags, insurance, etc..), so this really shouldn't be a negotiable point. Trying to use these costs puts you at a disadvantage because these costs are normally associated with ownership. So, the thing you should be negotiating is the actual price of the bike. Some things to keep in mind. The actual cost of the bike and what the dealer wants (MSRP) isn't usually that far apart for motorcycles. But there is enough in this spread to pay the salesperson and the dealership. You can assume the salesperson is usually paid around 15% of the spread, so if the spread is $1,200 on a $5,300 CB750 and you actually pay $5,300, the salesperson gets $180 for his trouble, the dealer gets the rest, or $1,020. This is why you should refuse that freight! In your case, the MSRP is $3,999. My guess is that it costs a dealer around $2,400-2,600 to bring this bike to the floor. Wheelin and dealin requires research, study, and the willingness to walk away. Todd (used to sell them) ps. Be willing to travel.

I personally would do some web searches first, and call lots of dealers in the phone book in the area too, asking them their out the door price. If they say come in, I'd say "with whom am I speaking? I live too far away, that's why i want the out the door price, if the price is right i will travel, so can you go check on that for me?" and then "and that includes everything, no added costs, just so we are clear right?" Personally i'd rather call around and see who offered the out the door price, I'm not into haggling either. I'd be more inclined to buy a used bike a few years old than go buy something new and take the biggest value depreciation.. with the exception as if I had plenty of money and could pay all cash and wouldn't miss at all, what i paid for the bike. Besides, I don't think dual sports change that much from year to year, so I don't know of anything special for a y2k model but then I don't know much :) --- Todd Peer wrote: > There are a couple of variables you are leaving out. 1) What is > the Model > Number (KLR250), 2) who is the manufacturer (Kawasaki), 3) how many > units > are on the floor, 4) what do you believe to be the actual dealer > cost for > the unit? > > The price can also be determined by how popular the model is, or > what the > market will bear.

I'm betting that dealer cost is more like $3,200-3,500. They don't make much profit on bikes in that category. To give you an idea - dealer cost for a Y2K KLX300 is $4,062 and MSRP is $4,699. www.cyclebuy.com will give you dealer cost info, including actual freight charged by the manufacturer. It's $9.95 a pop. FWIW, I got the KLX for $4,299 at Heyser (no KLRs though).

The profit on new stuff was only about %15 average. No much $ is to be made in selling new bikes. We made a killing on the used stuff, but nobody is going to get rich selling brand new bikes.

Buy a set of drugstore ear plugs, melt a hole through a couple with a heated needle, insert them in place of the supplied foam, insert in ear, turn _down_ walkman (no need for an amp), and yer ready to go. You can find them at CompUSA, but hurry, on hand stock only, cause they're back-ordered from Koss for a couple of months. I like mine, when they stay in place they really rock, and I normally hate headphones.

(kinda nice for both >the race-track and general riding) Brian - It wasn't me, but I recently bought a set of similar communicators at best buy for $80 in a two-pack. The Motorola version (identical) runs $110 each. No idea why there is such a price difference. I tried buying 2 of the PTT mic sets, but they didn't seem to work for riding very well. You have to reach up and push the button, which is small, and hope there is not too much wind noise upsetting the mic. If anyone knows of a VOX headset that works with these things, that would rock! The nice thing about this setup is that they are general purpose, cheap, and range 2 miles! ___________________________________________ Mike Troutman http://www.troutman.org '97 Honda VFR 750 Work is for people who don't know how to ride a motorcycle.

Speaking of smoking crack - I would love to be the supplier for the National Weather Service. I use Yahoo for weather - which gets its data directly from NWS. Last night at midnight the forecast for today was baiscally all sun, perfect. Just now I check and I see "widely scatterd thunderstorms, 20% chance of rain". Drugs are dangerous when used improperly. ___________________________________________ Mike Troutman http://www.troutman.org '97 Honda VFR 750 Work is for people who don't know how to ride a motorcycle.

I basically cut it down to match the height of the factory screen (clear, new one is dark smoke). And although the edge needs to be sanded a lot more overall it looks better than the original.

"Late Breaking News: STOLEN ENFIELDS! We have just learned of a break-in which has resulted in a triple 'bike-napping.' Stolen from Marty Scott's storage trailer was a Beno Rodi prepared Enfield road racer, Martin Dunleavy's championship Enfield trials bike, and a stock Enfield Bullet. Speculation may not be worth much, but those two 'specials' are worth more to all of us than any thief could possible know. Who would steal an Enfield, and what would they DO with it if they did? Unfortunately, should the perpetrators of this evil deed come to realize an Enfield Bullet does not easily blend into a crowd of Japanese imports, I fear the bikes will soon be conveniently deposited into the nearest river. PLEASE keep an extra sharp eye out for any unusual activity involving Enfields; look for inconsistencies, anything which seem 'out of place,' especially if it is the face of someone you haven't met before!" I was hoping they would list the VIN's of these bikes, but they didn't. Marty can be reached at 301-638-7387. Let's hope this bastard (or bastards) gets what's coming to him.

I thought you were more libertarian than this. The ONLY thing that matters is what the bike is worth to you. The only way to 'win' at something like this is to know beforehand what that number is. In Linda's case, all things told, it is worth $4000. Plain and simple. If it's worth more to the dealer then they will never have a meeting of the minds. Therefore, no sale. The past couple of cars and bikes (and a computer or two) that I've bought, I have walked in, said "this is what I want, this is how I want it, this is how much it's worth. That's either good, or not. No hard feelings." Not sure what your experiences as a salesman have been, but I've actually had good luck with this approach. Once I've been turned down; once they hemmed and hawed a bit; most often, they've understood that I'm not bullshitting, and start filling out paperwork. Now, you are correct in saying that she should shop around. But... If she was only $200 away from the 'right' price, I'd say go for it, if the only dealer willing to come down that extra $200 or so was in PA. My time is worth something, and (in my case) wasting two to three days (a day to visit the dealer, another day to pick up bike, a third day to get tags) is way more than $200 to me. I'd also agree that you shouldn't pay freight, advertising, undercoating, etc. Vehicle sales are the only place where you are explicitly charged for overhead. Guess what? Ain't my problem. I go back to this: argue for total price, especially if you have a check from the bank. Let the dealer figure out what portion counts as taxes, title fees, etc. ---------------------------------------- -George Howell ghowell@XXXXXX ghowell@XXXXXX georgehowell@XXXXXX "I ride because dogs have the right idea about car windows" From dc-cycles-request Fri Aug 6 00:51:43 1999 Return-Path: dc-cycles-request@XXXXXX Received: from tove.cs.umd.edu (root@XXXXXX [128.8.128.42]) by meretrix.com (8.8.8/8.7.3) with ESMTP id AAA10230 for ; Fri, 6 Aug 1999 00:51:41 -0400 (EDT) Received: from mimsy.cs.umd.edu (mimsy.cs.umd.edu [128.8.128.8]) by tove.cs.umd.edu (8.9.3/8.9.1) with ESMTP id AAA14965 for ; Fri, 6 Aug 1999 00:51:39 -0400 (EDT) Received: from smtp3.erols.com (smtp3.erols.com [207.172.3.236]) by mimsy.cs.umd.edu (8.9.3/8.9.1) with ESMTP id AAA04088 for ; Fri, 6 Aug 1999 00:51:38 -0400 (EDT) Received: from - (209-122-214-126.s380.tnt3.lnh.md.dialup.rcn.com [209.122.214.126]) by smtp3.erols.com (8.8.8/8.8.5) with SMTP id AAA15427 for ; Fri, 6 Aug 1999 00:51:37 -0400 (EDT) Date: Fri, 6 Aug 99 00:50:02 EDT From: Greg Sachs Sender: Greg Sachs Subject: RE: Weekend ride(semi-HSTA), all welcome To: dc-cycles@XXXXXX X-PRIORITY: 3 (Normal) X-Mailer: Chameleon 4.6.6, TCP/IP for Windows, NetManage Inc.

Some of those riders looked like they've been doing this too long without helmets. They did it on one part of the race track.

It was starting to get dark out. The rider was standing next to the bike, looking frustrated. I circled around since I didn't have enough room/time to pull over (ok, I was going slightly over 55 mph) and asked if he needed a ride to a phone. He looked very relieved, and told me he had a friend who lives off Gallows Road, near the hospital. I dropped him off in the parking lot, and he went running off (after thanking me profusely). Was that anyone on the list, or a friend or something? I'd just like to know if the rider got his bike and made it home okay.

I'm sorry, but I just don't understand why this would take more than one evening. Do your haggling on the phone to ensure that you're in the ballpark on out-the-door price; it's a new bike so there's really no need to visit the dealership ahead of time to 'look' at the bike. One trip for pick-up seems like all that is needed. The dealer should have it prepped and ready, or at least close to ready. The MVA of the purchaser's state will have the permanent tags; bike will have temp tags on it within minutes.

I've got a new toy to play with at home. Even though my current ride is a new Concours (and even though I've become a bit of a chain-drive bike snob), I've still always had a soft spot for the old CB 750s. Hell, if the new Nighthawks would have been shafties, I'd be riding one now instead of the Connie. That's another topic, though. :) Anyway, here's the real story: My father-in-law brought down to my place his old project bike. It's a 1979 Honda CB750F, not in the best of shape. A little over 19,000 miles on the clock, last tagged and inspected in 1986. The original owner sold it after low-siding underneath a tractor-trailer. Only minor damage, but it scared the guy silly, so he sold out. My father-in-law has never even had it running (I'll never know why). It's been sitting in his basement for years. A short list of things I'd need to get it running: Battery Petcock Fuel lines (easy) Front Brake Lever Headlight bucket, retaining bracket and screws Things I'd like to get to make it all nice again: Tank Seat Sidecovers Rubber Carb boots (front and back, 8 total) Tail section Brake light cover Stock exhaust (it's got shorty drag pipes on it now) Anyway, just wondering how common these bikes still are (dohc, this was the second year, right?) and how hard is it finding parts for them? I'd sure like to get this thing fixed up and running nicely.

The carb boots and such can be had through Honda I'm sure but hard body parts are another thing. You could try a boneyard but these things are pretty old so a lot of the pickings may already be gone. There were lot's of 750s made but the F is a little different than the standard crop. There is exhaust available for it through Mac or someone like that and I believe Kerker still makes a 4 into 1 that makes it sound the way it's supposed to sound. :-) Tanks will be next to impossible... fix the one you have. Have the seat recovered (another impossible find), Maier Manufacturing makes side covers (at least they did) and although they are not the best they will work just fine, brake light cover?... I thought it was all one piece, and good luck with the tail section (if the bike falls it's usually the first to get mangled). I've owned two of them... an '80 that was a total basket case that I managed to get running and rideable, and an '81 that was setup for drag racing (street bike though) that was modified out the ying-yang (lost my license because of this one)... so I know a pretty good deal about them.

I slept through most of OK history back in high school) but section 16 was set aside as public land for the school to be placed on.

It was retailing for $12/quart. I personally have found the 15-50 very adequate for all my applications including the race bike. And I believe the difference (other then $$$$) is *lack* of additives rather than the addition of them...or maybe there are some m/c specific additions and they left out the car ones.. FWIW, the 15-50 is the only one of their car line that don't have the anti friction additives which might cause clutch slippage...I've only used the 15-50, so I can't comment on whether there's any fact behind the slippage... If you want to buy good m/c specific oil, Rick at Fast Lanes will probably sell some of the oil they use (bulk) for a reasonable price.. can't remember if it's Silkolene that they use (really good stuff but $$$) or Red Line.. either way its good stuff..

Loundon Motorsports for one. When I bought my VFR almost a year ago, I called everyone in the book. Not one dealer gave me the car salesman crap of "just come on in". I mostly got these answers: A) "I don't have any left" B) "$9499" and I'd say "but that's list price" and they would say "that's what we are selling it for" and I'd say "OK, goodbye". But with Loundon Motorsports we made the deal over the phone (and I think I got a great deal) and I brought him the exact amount in cash, signed a few things and left. Within three weeks he received the Certificate of Origin from American Honda and mailed it to me. I also did this same thing with my buddy Curtis's EX500 he bought back in 94, I just called around, it does work. >As far as tagging, that varies by dealer and state.

That's the first of the 5 year spread of the famous DOHC Honda 4-cylinder engines. I've been riding the '81 & '82 750 versions for over 13 years (5 bikes total -- 3 I put on the road and 2 were for parts). The newest has 30,000 mi. and is my daily commuter (it's been more reliable than the BMW). The other has over 50,000 mi. and hauls my sidecar. I retired the first one at about 80,000 mi.

I have mine. A few times I've seen people broken down (cars)and have pulled over and offered them use of my cell phone. Some use it, some already contacted someone... but I have an extra sense of security knowing I have my cell phone, wether driving or riding, and I've used it enough times, it really is valuable. I don't abuse it either, I dont use it for social calls. For those of you who frequent the MD side of the beltway, and don't have some type of warranty/ tow plan, I have a pickup truck, and I'll help you out in an emergency where you and your bike are on the side of the road and absolutely need a tow. I'll do it without charge or fee, I'm not rich, so feel free to give me gas money, or make any kind of donation you want, whatever it's worth to you, if you can afford anything.. but i know when your vehicle is broken down, you need your money for repairs also, so like I said, it's an emergency, so it'll be free. I won't even bring up money, or ask for any compensation. I'll bring my pickup out, and give you and your bike a lift, to say.. within 30 minutes/miles in MD. If you want to go farther than that, you'll need to settle on going to a local bikeshop, or just putting it in a safe place to park until you can figure something out later, or pay me handsomely to take you somewhere far :) This offer is only good for you who email me, and only you, not your 10 riding buddies. I can't become a free tow guy for everyone in this part of Maryland :) I'm basicly making the offer to help out others in this list/group. Bikes are pretty reliable so I don't expect to be over run with calls or anything, but an emergency is an emergency.. if you need a tow, you need a tow. Keep in mind I'm not an autoclub and sometimes my cell phone ringer is off and I might not be available.. but odds are I will be, and that I'll answer the phone.. but like i said, it's possible you might not get an answer, but can leave a message to call you back, mean while you can try to make other arrangements...because there's always the chance i'm out on a date with the ringer off, or maybe in a deep sleep and the ringer is turned down low.. but i basicly have no life, so the odds are in your favor hehe. So for those of you in MD (near dc), email me for my cell number, and you can put it under your seat or in your cell phone or something, and have it in case of an emergency. -Daniel --- "Louis F.

It looks pretty much like a circa 1967 BSA or Triumph except for the external pushrod tubes. But it is not a café racer style at all. To be such the seat would need to be flat and the bars clip-ons. Also, I think café racer tanks were generally bigger. Perhaps the best example of such a machine would be the Paul Dustall Norton from the early 70s. I believe he used to make other race exhaust systems also. > I think the Kawi is the W65, and it's actually a BSA A10 ripoff moreso than > a Bonnie ripoff. OK, George put your money where your mouth is ;) For $1.00, what is the fundamental difference between BSA and Triumph unit twin engines?

On the way home last night it seemed fine at anything but full throttle, but as soon as I opened it wide, it'd stumble all the way from 5k on up to 7500 where it would cut out completely. On the way home I stopped and yanked the air cleaner, thinking it was running rich, but strangely enough it got worse with the air cleaner off. So, this morning I yanked the 138 mains and put in 134's. The midrange is very good now, with no hesitation up to 8k, where it cuts out completely again. Any ideas??? Anyone? Anyone? ********************************* Grant Heffernan SCO Field Systems Engineer 2100 Reston Pkwy, Suite 102 Reston, VA 20191 (703) 715-8721 From dc-cycles-request Sat Aug 7 12:49:33 1999 Return-Path: rcrishock@XXXXXX Received: from ckmso1.proxy.att.com (ckmso1.att.com [12.20.58.69]) by meretrix.com (8.8.8/8.7.3) with ESMTP id MAA20523 for ; Sat, 7 Aug 1999 12:49:31 -0400 (EDT) Received: from flf960r1.ems.att.com ([135.71.244.37]) by ckmso1.proxy.att.com (AT&T IPNS/MS-2.2) with ESMTP id MAA29083; Sat, 7 Aug 1999 12:48:20 -0400 (EDT) Received: from njb140bh2.ems.att.com by flf960r1.ems.att.com (8.8.8+Sun/ATTEMS-1.4.1 sol2) id MAA19898; Sat, 7 Aug 1999 12:43:24 -0400 (EDT) Received: by njb140bh2.ems.att.com with Internet Mail Service (5.5.2448.0) id ; Sat, 7 Aug 1999 12:45:07 -0400 Message-ID: <9FE88F6AE3C1D211AE530000C0E871EE3B560F@vae820po01.nova.att.com> From: "Crishock, Richard M, BGM" To: "'dcc'" , "'mtroutma@XXXXXX'" Subject: What is an Enfield Date: Sat, 7 Aug 1999 12:45:00 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2448.0) Content-Type: text/plain Sorry all. Our email is screwed at work. I get the digest, but not any replies to my posts. :P I believe the Enfields that were stolen were all 500cc models. I'm one of the very few to buy the 350cc model, I think. Anyway... there are pictures here: http://www.enfieldmotorcycles.com/ They were stolen from the importers offices in White Plains, MD. Background: The Royal Enfield factory was contracted to supply a bunch of bikes to the Indian government in the 1950's. Someone thought it would be better to build a factory there, and assemble them on site. Eventually the Indian factory was building the bikes (Bullets) from the ground up; casting, welding, everything. In the early 70's ('71?) Royal Enfield, Redditch went belly up. The Indians found themselves with a fully functioning factory, and they have kept making them as they have done so since the 1950's. The only changes made to the 1955 design are the ones mandated by big brother. Left side shift (you can buy a kit to put it back on the right [correct;] side), indicators (we call them "turn signals"), and maybe quieter silencers (mufflers).

Jetting trouble Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Here's the story so far... Installed the Dynojet kit with Bruce (thanks again!). We went with the prescribed setting for a stock bike with a full exhaust. This includes 138 mains and needles on the 3rd clip from the top. This yielded awful results. The bike would hesitate at full throttle from 5k on up, where it would completely cut out at 7500. The hesitation (again at full throttle) was worse the higher the gear used. I then took off the air filter and took it for a spin, and the problem seemed to get worse (it certainly didn't get better). Next I swapped out the 138 mains for the next size down, which are 134's. This improved things a little. The bike wouldn't hesitate in the midrange, but still cut out around 8k on top under full thorttle. Next, I lowered the needle one clip. This really improved things... it'll now take full throttle without hesitation up to 8k, but then it signs off completely again. I'm confused.

Chapter Two: Here I sit, the proud owner of a brand, spankin' new Super Sherpa. I got it from a dealer several hours away (Berkeley Springs, WV), for considerably less than I had offered the local dealer. Who'da thunk it? All is not quite rosy in Springfield, however. When I arrived at the dealership, I was informed that the speedo/odo did not work as a part was broken. I arranged to have the replacement sent to me and they demo'ed what needed to be done. Not too complex, except for propping up the bike to take off the front wheel. They loaded it on my trailer and I was off. Once I got home (several hours later), I took my new baby for a spin and promptly discovered that the front turnsignals were backward (push left, blink right), while the rears were fine. Talk about confusing the populace. Except that nobody pays any attention anyway. After a quick ride, I came home, reversed the wires and took off again with my GPS bungied to the handlebars so I would have some clue as to how fast I was going. With no tach and no speedo, it was a little difficult to judge whether or not I was being good with the breakin. I will have to work out something more permanent and stable than a potholder and two baby-bungies. I envision velcro and something. Bike ran fine. I love electric start. What can I say, I'm a wuss. The tranny is very smooth. After riding my Honda for 60k miles and thunking through every shift, the Sherpa (aka Tenzing) has a butter smooth shifter. Power seemed a little down, but I wasn't pushing it and most bikes seem anemic compared to the CBR. All in all, I'm a happy camper. It has this really cute black cylinder that turns out to be the tools. I hope to ride a lot more tomorrow.

He bought a Dyna last year. Rode it all over MD, VA, and W VA. This spring he sez, "I'm 62 and have never seen the country. If I don't do it soon, I may never have the chance." He packs his saddlebags and T-bag and Zzzzooommm.... Some five weeks and 10K miles later he rides back into town. He hung around for a month or so and sez, "That was fun. I'm gonna do it again." Zzzzooommmm... He got back today, another 10K ride. This time he drifted north to Washingtaon state and Oregon before setting his compass on east. One Dyna, a shade over a year old, with close to 30K miles on the odometer. Ride `em, don't hide `em.

Second, I have ANOTHER good use for cell phones. Riding two nights ago with a budy, he caught the lip of one of those half paved areas common in Great Falls etc, on a sharp turn and went down. Broken leg, minor scratches, and the cell phone on his hip was rashed dramatically! It would have BEEN his hip if he had not been wearing it. Cell phones as safety equipment! Yes! My cell phone, however, did not work at the accident scene! No signal, go figure. At least I ride safe. Watch those paved spots, he is a good rider and was not going very fast, just a freak deal, but the paver helped the launch considerably. On a personal note............(sorry, I usually only lurk).......I am trying to figure out how to expedite a visa for my wife in Morocco, any ideas could be helpful, any connections to Madelyne Albright or Bill Clinton I could use, lol, she (my wife) is in physical danger and I need to get her out more quickly than the usual immigrant visa turnaround. Thoughts appreciated, bear in mind that I am resoursefull and have considered probably all of the normal routes and some of the not so normal ones, what I really need is some high level networking, if you know what I mean. PLZ reply direct, I read this list intermittantly now that I am focussed on her safety.

With so many users, and so few improvements, there essentially isn't enough bandwidth to serve the customers. It's particularly bad in this area. (Bad enough that I don't currently own a cell phone).

Not with their own networks of course, but with local providers in analog. Any of the at+t phones (nokia 5160, 6160 and soon 8860 (WOW is it nice, and yes I have used them) or ericsson (714, the rest are crap) phones work. I have used mine in backcountry arkansas, down to Fourt lauderdale florida, even in puerto rico. California.. everywhere. Here is the key, if you are in an analog roaming area, you CAN check your voice mail, unfortunately the customer care people might not know this trick. I dont have my phone infront of me so I dont remember the number, but its like *50 then talk. This will send a signal back to AT+T (sprint and nextel have similar procedures) that will shut off roaming. Your phone will immediately transfer to voice mail upon being called. Definitely though, is you are looking at which phone, sprint sucks. thats my opinion, I loved spectrum. Much better voice quality, but gsm1900 is a dying system in america due to government regulations. Each cell site costs about 5k-10k in hardware, but you need 2times as many then regular cdma and tdma digital. We regulated thehell out of setting up a cell site, and now gsm isnt worth the investment. so now sprint pcs.. I hate the phones, and the service is terrible. Nextel has neato features. And very good coverage. The i1000 is superneato. AT+T has good phones, and good features, and the most complete coverage of any of the brands. But the nextel phones have more features. Now to bring this back to bikes.. I know a few people who have gotten the earpeices and use their phones while on their bikes. You can get the mounting brackets and mount them up just like you would to a car. Personally, I think its bad when I use my phone in the car, but on the bike.. I think its a terrible mistake. Plus you can use the excuse "Sorry, I couldnt answer the call, I was on my bike" ;> Oh, and the digital phone systems in this area have quite a bit of unused bandwith. Its amazing in fact. Analog is completely crushed of course. The only time I have ever seen the limits reached is out at dulles. We were snowed in trying to leave out to puerto rico. (ALMOST made it) got off the plane and EVERYONE whipped out their cellphones. It was amazing.

PCS is the gsm1900 technology, and the old spectrum phones are plain ole analog crap. PCS was the partnership between sprint + cable companies to roll out the GSM stuff and have good coverage, and Spectrum was just your average plain jane cellphone. How can you say Sprint Spectrum was anything but terrible? I had the service, and I'd never, never, ever reccomend it - even to my worst enemy. I dont have a PCS phone right now (have a Nokia + Cellular One) but I'm probably getting that next. The voice quality is far better than most other things out there - as long as you are in the PCS network. Alex.

I work with a cell phone company right now. Sprint spectrum used something called GSM1900 which is based on the GSM system used in europe. It is WORLDS better then any other service type. Mostly due to what could be done with the boxes, and the cost. (And the services that can be offered, variable speed internet access for one) You can have more people, and have more people sound better on GSM1900. The problem is you need more cell sites, your problem is because of that. We have weird laws about where you can put cell sites. Driving down 270 you see all the median lights on the road, well you cannot put a cell site there. It would be PERFECT for most people using cell phones, but you just cant. You have to zone an area, and have town meetings etc etc to put a cell site anywhere. GSM1900 requires more cell sites then other classic digital services, so the service area became spotty at best. If you go to europe they have LOTS of little cell sites all over the place, they get GREAT service off of gsm. The phones we used here for spectrum would also have been usable in europe. (in some places) The biggest bonus of gsm1900 is still the Sim card. That is your code on that card. If my phone died, I could go to any other gsm1900 phone, plug that card in, and that phone was then mine. It rang when someone called my number, and I could call someone and have it appear on my bill. No other PCS service has anything like that. Spectrum was also a digital PCS service. PCS is just a standard, and a buzzword in the cellphone world. Digital is the important part. Sprint PCS is a CDMA based service, also digital, but a different model for how it divides the transmission (code division multiple access) and seperates "channels" so you can talk and listen at the same time. Plus have hundreds of other conversations going on at the same time, and how they get handed off site to site. Its quite a feat. But both Sprint PCS and Spectrum were true digital systems. Spectrum also only had digital only phones, where sprint pcs and all of the other pcs services offer digital and analog on the same phone. AT+T PCS is based off of TDMA (time division multiple access) which is a comprable, but different method then cdma. They are NOT compatable. This is why none of the phones work in with different companies. (That plus they are set to use a specific range of signals. This is not a big deal though, they could be reprogrammed to use a different frequency set, but the cdma vs tdma vs gsm thing is more then you can put in a phone) Nextel I dont know anything secifically about. I dont know the standards they use. -----Original Message----- From: Alex Milenkovic [mailto:alexm@XXXXXX] Sent: Sunday, August 08, 1999 11:27 AM To: dc-cycles@XXXXXX Subject: RE: cell-phones > Definitely though, is you are looking at which phone, sprint sucks. thats > my opinion, I loved spectrum.

PCS is the gsm1900 technology, and the old spectrum phones are plain ole analog crap. PCS was the partnership between sprint + cable companies to roll out the GSM stuff and have good coverage, and Spectrum was just your average plain jane cellphone. How can you say Sprint Spectrum was anything but terrible? I had the service, and I'd never, never, ever reccomend it - even to my worst enemy. I dont have a PCS phone right now (have a Nokia + Cellular One) but I'm probably getting that next. The voice quality is far better than most other things out there - as long as you are in the PCS network. Alex.

I know how all these systems work, but can anyone offer some insight as to how to do this.? Seems to me gravity feed would be easiest to set up? Although I guess I'd need a new petcock for the fuel tank (since the current is vacuum feed). Or could I just add an electric pump to the existing setup? Where can I get a pump/what rating should it be (if they are rated... I assume they're specified to flow a certain amount of fuel.)

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=iso-8859-1 The 90-97 VFR's also have an electrical fuel pump. Looking at the wiring diagram, the pump has two connections, a supply run off a relay which is supplied by the ignition circuit and switched by the ECU, off the wire that feeds the #4 coil. I can provide a copy of the Wiring diamgram if it would be helpful. The fuse supplying the entire ignition circuit is 10A, so the pump doesn't appear to draw that much. However, I an only find a couple of relays and one small panel bulb supplied by that fuse/circuit, so the pump might be drawing 9A or so. Hard to say. The pump is rated at 900cc/minute minimum flow. I believe late model GSX-R's also run fuel pumps, don't know it electrical. Had 2 nice rides yesterday, Kevin and Roy and some other guy and I did about 150 miles through the GW forest and 211 and so on, real nice but be warned if you're riding 675 through the GW forest-there is a bad unmarked hairpin at the end of a long downhill straight. About 8 miles out of Luray. Would have been nice to ahve a few more, but oh well. Kept feeling like I was slowing Kevin and Roy down, but thet were good sports about it. Did a nice job of de-cupping my front tire, as I burned a bunch of rubber off of it. Also went on the NOVAMGR night ride, which was pleasant if a little boring. Met some neat people though, so worth doing. The ice cream at B&J's in Old Town and the people made it enjoyable. Can't really do sporting riding at night, at least not until I get my IR HUD wired up.

I have mine. A few times I've seen people broken down (cars)and have pulled over and offered them use of my cell phone. Some use it, some already contacted someone... but I have an extra sense of security knowing I have my cell phone, wether driving or riding, and I've used it enough times, it really is valuable. I don't abuse it either, I dont use it for social calls. For those of you who frequent the MD side of the beltway, and don't have some type of warranty/ tow plan, I have a pickup truck, and I'll help you out in an emergency where you and your bike are on the side of the road and absolutely need a tow. I'll do it without charge or fee, I'm not rich, so feel free to give me gas money, or make any kind of donation you want, whatever it's worth to you, if you can afford anything.. but i know when your vehicle is broken down, you need your money for repairs also, so like I said, it's an emergency, so it'll be free. I won't even bring up money, or ask for any compensation. I'll bring my pickup out, and give you and your bike a lift, to say.. within 30 minutes/miles in MD. If you want to go farther than that, you'll need to settle on going to a local bikeshop, or just putting it in a safe place to park until you can figure something out later, or pay me handsomely to take you somewhere far :) This offer is only good for you who email me, and only you, not your 10 riding buddies. I can't become a free tow guy for everyone in this part of Maryland :) I'm basicly making the offer to help out others in this list/group. Bikes are pretty reliable so I don't expect to be over run with calls or anything, but an emergency is an emergency.. if you need a tow, you need a tow. Keep in mind I'm not an autoclub and sometimes my cell phone ringer is off and I might not be available.. but odds are I will be, and that I'll answer the phone.. but like i said, it's possible you might not get an answer, but can leave a message to call you back, mean while you can try to make other arrangements...because there's always the chance i'm out on a date with the ringer off, or maybe in a deep sleep and the ringer is turned down low.. but i basicly have no life, so the odds are in your favor hehe. So for those of you in MD (near dc), email me for my cell number, and you can put it under your seat or in your cell phone or something, and have it in case of an emergency. -Daniel --- "Louis F.

Sprint Spectrum used the GSM protocol at the higher (1800-1900 Mhz) U.S. land mobile band. (In Europe and elsewhere land mobile is at 800-900 Mhz). Most digital networks in the U.S. now are CDMA protocol at the higher land-mobile frequencies. The service providers got together and decided to adopt CDMA (I believe Qualcom the developer of CDMA lobbied harder than GSM which could have been adopted for free given it's public domain nature). When there was sufficient coverage Sprint Spectrum worked on the par with European GSM systems I use (and am using as I write, being in Italy).

Caplan" Subject: Sugarloaf Mountain To: DC-Cycles MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii While taking a friend for a ride on Saturday, I ended up being near Sugarloaf Mountain. I remember from a DC-Cycles group ride a year or two ago, that there was a sign saying motorcycles were not allowed, but figured I'd give it a try anyway. I stopped by the entrance waiting for a family and their dogs to walk by, when a woman came up to me. She said that normally motorcycles are not allowed to go up the mountain, but because they were not having a wedding at the lodge, I could go up if I wanted. So it seems that the reason (or one of the reasons anyway) that motorcycles aren't allowed was they were disturbing weddings? (Loud pipes? Crashes? Revving engines?) I should have asked for more information, but didn't think of it at the time. Louis _____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Had a fun weekend checking out the YSR races with Brian N. Man, those bikes look like a LOT of fun! If you ever get a chance, go check out these little 50-80cc bikes at Monrovia Raceway, a little go-cart track up near Frederick. No charge for spectating, and everyone's really friendly. A warning, though: If you go, you WILL want to buy and race one of these things! Anyway, some guys at the track that day noticed that my VTR had a nail in the rear tire. Hmm... this explains the squirmy handling of the last few days. I need some new tires (the old ones are near the end of their life anyway), and I'm going to get Dunlop D207ZRs if possible. Anyone have a set of race take-offs or a source for cheap tires? Who were the guys on the list with the tire mounting doohickey? Thanks for any info.

Of course, they royally screwed themselves by mounting the rear fender onto the rear suspension rather than onto the bike's frame - that's what makes that eyesore gap between the fender and the dual seat.

I am pretty sure there was already Federal legislation in place protecting any road that received federal funds (aka - every state built road). The VA law didn't give us any more protection than we already had...just a feel good measure. I didn't get any riding in this weekend. But it was beautiful out there this morning.

Of course, don't try that strategy at Loudon Motorsports (contrary to Glenn Dysart's suggestion).

There's Federal law that says any highway that gets Federal money can't exclude motorcycles unless they can be shown to be a hazard. This was the loophole VDOT tried to use to keep us out of the HOV lanes. VDOT then reviewed another state's study (Minnesota maybe?) and learned that it's safer to have motorcycles in HOV lanes than mixing it up in the regular lanes (smile, that's your tax dollars funding VDOT!). Then VDOT opened up the HOV lanes and conducted a study for about 2 years to see if there were any problems with bikes and HOV lanes - there weren't (smile, your tax dollars at work yet again!). Then the VA legislature passed a law that will keep VDOT from pulling these kind of stunts again. Groups such as ABATE, VCOM, and MRF were instrumental in getting this legislation passed. So the Federal law gives you arguing power. The Virginia law makes it plain enough that even a Virginia politician can figure out what must be done.

Previously motorcycles with sidecars or trailers (i.e. 3 axles) were getting charged the rate that trucks with multiple axles normally are charged. Now they are only charged the regular motorcycle rate. VDOT had promised several times that they wouldn't overcharge the motorcycles, but never followed through, which is why VCOM and the other organizations pushed this bill/law all the way through.

Chris is right, these bikes are the heat! Knee dragging supreme! Great attitudes of the racers! Sean & I literally had to turn down two guy's that were offering to let us ride the bikes after the races. We knew we'd go out there and tear something up! The racing was tight and furious! The highlight was the "open class" races that consisted of mutant YSR's with YZ/RM/CR 80 motocross engines. These things rocked! Massive 3rd gear wheelies and high corner speeds with knee puck shavings flying! Sean will probably have one in his garage by Friday. I hope to be not far behind!

Also, did you experience any problems with the motor cutting out at around 8k? I've got just about the same setup as you, with a TBR pipe instead of the M4. Right now it's just NOT running well, and I've currently got it set up with 134 mains, 3rd clip needle, and 3 turns out. Did you drill the slides as described in the kit? Also, I'm not sure what the slides should be doing physically... tech supp. at dynojet said the symptoms I'm having could be from the slides not retracting fully. What kind of movement should I be seeing from them? Watching with the air cleaner off, the seem to shudder up and down a little, but I haven't gotten on the throttle to see if they retract all the way.

Yes, bikes are allowed with only one passenger in the HOV lanes, I commute in and out 270 daily in the HOV lanes. The point of HOV is to save fuel and the environment. I get about 45-50 mpg on my VFR 750, I would say that really beats the 25-30 I get in my small (read non-SUV or gas guzzler) Nissan. I get a lot of shit from cars on 270 as I work my way over the four or five lanes to get there in standstill traffic. They don't want to let me in front of them. I always get the last laugh as I make it to the HOV lanes and rocket out of their way.. I have had people curse me out for getting in front of them, I invited them to come discuss my driving behavior if they could keep up with me. Seeing as I will do 60 in the HOV lane and they are stopped in the regular lanes they have never taken me up on my offer.....

My Seca XJ750RJ from Yamahopper suffers from the same dilema, age, but I still get a great ride that I would otherwise not have except for the family cages. I also subscribe to the XJ list as well as this one to get as much specific model info as I can. Many are from Canada and "Down Under" where the bike seems to have quite a following. One thing in your favor is that the CB was a more popular, hence more made, bike so you likely can find parts bikes. Also, find out what cross-over parts you can use. My Seca can use lots of Maxim parts, but a few Virago as well, go figure. Anyway have fun, I like working on it as much as riding it, truly my learner bike in terms of tinkering.

As they leave the factory, Harleys meet the same EPA noise requirements as any other bike. If anything, their exhaust is even quieter, as they have to compensate for the mechanical noises that their engines generate (noise is noise, and every dB counts). Loud Harleys (or any bike) are the result of a conscious decision on the part of the rider. Michael J.

Brain McCoy and I drove to New Orleans for Mardi Gras this year and took Interstates the entire length. Even driving straight through (paralleling US 11 on the Interstates) it took us around 18 hours and we were not obeying the speed limits by any means. And we only stopped for gas and for one nice meal. If you are taking US 11 or other secondary roads to get there I would guess it will take you at least 2 days, probably more like three. Of course your trip will be a little closer since I going between Annandale and New Orleans but not much shorter. good luck Glenn >Next week I will be taking a trip from Martinsburg, WV to Hattiesburg, MS.

They didn't bother to do a merge/purge on the AMA list, or provide their list to AMA for that purpose. Also, remember that letting people use their membership list is probably something that AMA charges for, so they're not spending your dues to do it, they're bringing in revenue doing it.

Hmmm... Two back-to-back 600 mile days is my top on the Hawg. And that was on the POS poser seat the original owner had on it. It's now in the dead parts pile. A stock Harley is under 80 db, as required. And the aftermarket (H-D part) pipes I got for mine to replace the poser window breakers the OO had installed were rated 80 db. That was before some of the packing kinda *fell* out. No tassells on mine. Looks like those suckers would whip the poopy out of your arms at 80+ mph. Once upon a time (last year) I pulled into a bistro in Chattanooga TN to meet my darling daughter. It was poser night at the pub. Harleys lined up, all gleaming and spotless. I arrive after riding in from Baton Rouge LA, thru a few quick showers, and after killing bugs in seven states on my deep south tour. The posers jaws dropped - they backed away from my scruffy machine. One guy actually moved his softtail away from mine. ANother guy said he'd never seen a Harley that dirty. I sez, they get that way if you RIDE THEM!

After this weekend, I will have a set of 207Gp's for sale too... won't know until Saturday evening though on how much tread will be left :) they are excellent at the moment, but nelson's is hard on tires... also, if you need an emergency tire to last a few days, I have another set of 207s that are pretty shot, but will get you around... those are free to good home....

The H-D doesn't keep my toolbox busy :-) Heh...I bought my bike in May and in 3 full months have put over 3k on it. I won't break any sore-ass records (Todd?) but it amazes me how many people buy bikes and don't ride them. Speaking of sore asses and you iron butt folks, what is the longest Iron Butt ride to date? From where to where? In September for that rafting trip, I plan on making a 4 hour slab route into an 8 hour twisty route through WVA. I'll be looking for good roads when the time draws near.... _____________________________________ Mike Troutman mike@XXXXXX http://www.troutman.org/vfr '97 Honda VFR 750 From dc-cycles-request Mon Aug 9 23:40:32 1999 Return-Path: dynaryder@XXXXXX Received: from mail1.chek.com (gutmans.chek.com [208.197.227.23]) by meretrix.com (8.8.8/8.7.3) with SMTP id XAA23981 for ; Mon, 9 Aug 1999 23:40:20 -0400 (EDT) Received: (qmail 19040 invoked from network); 10 Aug 1999 03:36:57 -0000 Received: from musone.chek.com (208.197.227.27) by mail1.chek.com with SMTP; 10 Aug 1999 03:36:57 -0000 Received: (from nobody@localhost) by musone.chek.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) id XAA04645; Mon, 9 Aug 1999 23:35:41 -0400 Date: Mon, 9 Aug 1999 23:35:41 -0400 Message-Id: <199908100335.XAA04645@musone.chek.com> From: "Gil Nissley" To: dc-cycles@XXXXXX Subject: Re: Retro Brit-Bikes On Mon, 09 Aug 1999 09:09:38 -0400 Chris Norloff wrote: >At 03:10 PM 8/6/99 , Bill Huson wrote: >>They may have overlooked the fact that the Drifter is one butt-ugly bike. >Oh well, that's personal preference for you.

Quite possible they were going with the bike. Some dealers *make* you purchase extras when you pick up the bike.

I put aftermarket pipes, a jet kit, and a K&N on my '99 Dyna. The thing was wheezing in stock form, and damn it, I just can't ride a bike that posseses more valve train noise than exhaust note. I may just be a poseur. Due to trying to make every WERA race weekend this year, I've only been able to put about 4500 miles on my street bikes.

For years I have used an Icom Switchbox mounted on the bars and instead of using the included Icom headset I use a Cycle-Com (now out of biz but J&M should be the same) helmet spkr and mic. Usually the whole set-up is only used for FM Stereo but it works for my 2M FM communicators also. Recently I purchased a Kenwood FRS unit which is great for picking up teenagers at the mall. Have not tried the Icom switchbox but it would probably work with the right connectors. The Icom switchbox has a mic preamp and a gain control also. When the mic is set up right it sounds like a normal mobile set up.

From where to where? Do you mean a 24 hour ride? A few (2 or 3?) people managed to do 2000 miles in 24 hrs. Mostly out in Nevada or Montana. If you mean total mileages over trips, there are all types of events. Some do a 10/10 (10 days and at least 10,000 miles). Every other year they have the Iron Butt Rally which goes around the USA (held every other year, this year's rally starts in 20 days). Last year Ron Ayres made a record, riding the lower 48 states, plus Alaska in 7 days 1 minute. 8,798 miles. (see http://www.ronayres.com If you look around the Iron Butt Website (http://www.ironbutt.com) they have a list of some accomplishments.

You would have ~average~ 83.4 mph for 24 hours to rack up over 2000 miles. This includes fuel, head, food stops. We did a 24 hour race at Nelson Ledges in 1993. We had quickfill fuel dump cans, quick release wheel changing fittings, and six go like nuts racers. We ~barley~ managed to get that kind of milage, and Nelson is a fairly high speed track with average speeds over 90.

I've ridden around New England but it was nice to know that I could zip home and sleep in my own bed in just a few hours knowing I can ride those 600-700 miles without too much bother. BTW, I never went over 75 even when the limit was 65 and am confident that I could have done 1000 miles in a single day. You must have misunderstood Leon, endurance riding is not a road race.

Oh man, you are so cruel! :) I could probably just swing the loan for the bike. But first I gotta get the garage built. Then the steel ring sunk into the cement floor. Then the security chain.

I've found that the dirtier you let the bike get (I call mine BugSlayer with good reason) the less parents (and kids) want to come near you.

You know, I don't think I've ever passed a broken down bike on any of my 3 IB rides so far... I won't bother stopping for cages, but a bike pulled over to the side of the road generally causes me to stop and offer whatever kind of help I can. > Okay, so I'm an old fart and prefer to meander rather than hunker down > and scream over the pavement in a rather ludicrious quest to pile up > super-miles. IB riding isn't the end-all and be-all of riding for me either. It's just another fascinating part of the whole deal. I still want to get a dirt bike someday and see some REAL scenery. I've never ridden a trials bike. I haven't done a track day yet. I've never piloted a sidecar (or sqeezed my wide butt into the 'chair'). I'd like to do an off-road enduro thing at least once. I think doing some weekend racing like Collin and Brian and Steve (and a bunch of others around here) would be an absolute blast, too. Anyway, my point is, I'm a bike slut. If it involves motorcycles, I am interested. LDriding is a great way to combine riding, seeing the country, competing non-competitively, and maximizing the use of my minimal vacation time. :) > That's why I pilot a Bagger. She's like a healthy, voluptious woman - > built for cruising not for speed :-) For me, long distance riding has actually very little to do with the bike. My last trip was a trip out to Kansas City, MO for a rendezvous with a bunch of people I've never met to eat dinner at a specified time. I rode out, slept on the grass at rest-stops when I got tired, ate a wonderful meal with wonderful folks, and rode back. 1100 miles each way, two consecutive days. Never went faster than 80 mph. Didn't have to take any vacation time, either. It was a fun trip. I want to go again. -- Dale Horstman (The Horkster) horkster@XXXXXX Dale City, VA, USA, Earth 1998 Concours - His - BugSlayer II - VA Plate: BGSLYR 1999 Concours - Hers - Grape Nehi (Knee-High) "I started riding away from home in order to feel the sweet sensation of missing it at the same time I love leaving it." - Melissa Holbrook Pierson "The Perfect Vehicle" From dc-cycles-request Tue Aug 10 19:55:59 1999 Return-Path: ScooterFZR@XXXXXX Received: from imo18.mx.aol.com (imo18.mx.aol.com [198.81.17.8]) by meretrix.com (8.8.8/8.7.3) with ESMTP id TAA17888 for ; Tue, 10 Aug 1999 19:55:58 -0400 (EDT) From: ScooterFZR@XXXXXX Received: from ScooterFZR@XXXXXX by imo18.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v22.4.) id iFMTa02400 (4398); Tue, 10 Aug 1999 19:52:42 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: Date: Tue, 10 Aug 1999 19:52:42 EDT Subject: Re: newbie needs a big favor To: adam@XXXXXX, dc-cycles@XXXXXX MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 21 In a message dated 8/10/1999 7:06:48 PM Eastern Daylight Time, adam@XXXXXX writes: << hey all- i'm new to this list, and to owning a motorcycle... i bought '71 triumph tiger 650 a few months ago and finally got it past inspection and registerred. unfortunately i don't yet have a license. the sad reason is that i need someone to ride down with me to the DC DMV's driving course so they will let me take the road test. anyone volunteering an hour of their time would get my undying gratitude, and just in case that's not enough: perhaps a 12-pack of your favorite malted beverage? obviously i will be totally flexible schedule-wise, anytime the DMV is open is fine with me. thanks, adam >> We are you in DC?

This includes fuel, head, food stops. That is correct. But in order to make big miles, you minimize the stops. The IBA allows 11 gallons of fuel onboard, so auxiliary fuel systems are common on the 'big dawgs' bikes. Food stops are a waste of time. Eat and drink on the bike. Restroom stops are the killer. If you can balance drinking enough water (via a camelbak or something) without dehydrating and still hold it until you need fuel again (~5 hours between fillups at speed) you are golden. It takes practice. I'm not even gonna mention Morris and his funnel.... > Anybody who sez they did more than 2k miles in 24hrs on public roads I > would suspect as having made their claim based on a odometer or > tripmeter reading. That is usually part of it. So are time/date/location stamped gas receipts, so your route can be independently verified. Log every stop, account for every moment spent not moving, and be able to prove it. One guy who did a 2K Day (2138 miles I think he did) did his ride in essentially two 1000+ mile laps in Nevada. He ran it first in the daylight, noting the good gas stops, and then repeated the same route at night, saving more time because he knew exactly where he was going when it came time to refuel the Goldwing. And yes, he essentially cruised at 90 mph for an entire day. Radar detectors are another important mod, I guess. Another 2K Day-er took advantage of Montana's Reasonable and Prudent speeds a while ago to post big numbers. Location is the key, I think. I can't imagine someone riding like that here on the East Coast. I'm gonna try a 24 hour ride here sometime in the next year. I'll be ecstatic with 1600 miles (you need 1500 for a BunBurner Gold award). -- Dale Horstman (The Horkster) horkster@XXXXXX Dale City, VA, USA, Earth 1998 Concours - His - BugSlayer II - VA Plate: BGSLYR 1999 Concours - Hers - Grape Nehi (Knee-High) "I started riding away from home in order to feel the sweet sensation of missing it at the same time I love leaving it." - Melissa Holbrook Pierson "The Perfect Vehicle" From dc-cycles-request Tue Aug 10 20:12:09 1999 Return-Path: Horkster@XXXXXX Received: from tidalwave.net (mailmessenger.tidalwave.net [208.206.112.71]) by meretrix.com (8.8.8/8.7.3) with ESMTP id UAA18212 for ; Tue, 10 Aug 1999 20:12:08 -0400 (EDT) Received: from tidalwave.net [208.220.25.121] by tidalwave.net with ESMTP (SMTPD32-5.05) id ACA961E00FA; Tue, 10 Aug 1999 19:58:33 -0400 Message-ID: <37B0BFE4.8462C3F3@tidalwave.net> Date: Tue, 10 Aug 1999 20:12:20 -0400 From: Dale Horstman X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.04 [en] (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Stephen Harris CC: dc-cycles@XXXXXX Subject: Re: long Iron Butt rides References: <3.0.5.32.19990810162724.008df8f0@mail.his.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Stephen Harris wrote: > You would have ~average~ 83.4 mph for 24 hours to rack up over 2000 > miles.

Well, the big mile guys don't have to worry about changing tires, refueling gas tanks for thirsty race bikes when the tanks are limited to stock sizes, or negotiating hairpins, carousels, and esses at speed with other bikers around, either.

I spent close to an hour on the side of 495 tonight (about 1/2 mile east of the BW Parkway) with a very sick CBR. (which I literally fixed with a rock, and a knife) Nobody stopped to ask if I was OK. Including the (no less than) 5 motorcycles that passed me. One of which looked at me, slowed, shrugged, and kept going. Very, very, very aggravating.

Lead time then was a month or so. Also I remember having to hammer through that I wanted a MOTORCYCLE drivers test. The details seemed to weigh in. Not exactly sure what is meant by "i need someone to ride down with me to the DC DMV's driving course". Another on a bike accompanying you on your bike? Another in a car? A truck carrying your bike? Those folks at the DMV lot trailer can have their brain stems ending in the DC Motor Vehicle Code. They've been known to check all details of insurance /license/registration for all drivers concerned in a situation. If you are not "M"d on your license, there may be something about getting a learner's permit after taking a written test. Other than that driving an MC in DC (on streets up to the DMV lot) is not legal. Trucking a bike at the appointed time might work. Of course one might get lucky, and perhaps you've solved all this. But maybe these thoughts may save you some headaches. That ride sounds like fun. Bill S. / DC 99 VN750 --> Leaves all paperwork up to Bill Join the AMA.

That, or offer to run home real quick and grab my tool box and pickup truck, so you could do whatever you needed, and if that didn't work, get towed. Last week I posted here for everyone in this area (md side, 495, b/w parkway area) to email me for my cell phone # for emergencies. Not too many people replied. I wonder if most riders carry cell phones? For everyone who rides in this area md side 495/b/w parkway area, write this down on a peice of paper and put it under your seat, in your wallet, phone book whatever: Daniel from dc-cycles 301-613-1774 (cell phone #) pickup truck + tools even if you don't have a cell phone, someone with a cell phone may stop. I'm not a mechanic but atleast you'll have some tools and a tow at your disposal if you need it. Even if you have a brand new bike, right it down, even the bike shops close at a certain time, so you might be out of luck to call them. Better to have my # and not need it, than to need help and not have it. Now watch *my* bike break down hehe.

Ken, did you give any kind of signal that you needed help? When I passed a bike broken down on 495 last week, the driver just was just standing around. I wasn't sure if he was waiting for someone to catch up or if something was wrong. Something felt off though, so I turned around and it turned out he needed help. Other times when I saw a motorcycle on the side of the road and started to slow down, I've had people give me "thumbs up" showing me they were okay and so just continued on. If I ever do get stuck and have to pull off, I would imagine I would give a "thumbs down" and hope for some help. Wheter or not I get any remains to be seen.

There's my "Iron Butt" mode where I take in scenery as I go by. Granted that may mean I don't stop at every nook and cranny, and I don't stop and chat for hours, but I get places I normally wouldn't be able to because of time. When on the Capitol 1000 a few months ago, I was riding on Rt. 2 in West Virginia late at night. Saw all the factories along the river. May not sound like much, but it was cool to see at night, they all appeared the same, and it was actually eery the way they'd pop out just when I think the area is uninhabited. Not something I'd see on a "normal" ride. Then there is my "Poker Run / DC-Cycles Group / Take a Friend for a Ride" mode where the pace is more relaxed, the stops tend to take much longer, kiddies point at the bikes (I haven't had one ask to sit on mine and go "varoom" yet) etc. Here I get to chat with people, kick a few tires, etc. I've even led a few of the DC-Cycles rides. (But to be honest, sometimes when the stops get long, I want to get on my bike and get going already) No matter which "mode" I ride in, I would stop to help someone who needed help. Both modes are fun. And I'm not doing the same old thing every time. And it's not black and white either. For example, when I go to see my folks soon, I'll "Iron Butt" it to Connecticut, getting through MD, DE, NJ and NY, but then I have a map of "scenic" roads in Conn, so with the time I save getting up there, I plan on taking a long loop through CT to actually arrive at my folks place. As for racking up miles... heck, I bought the bike to ride, not to look good.

This will enable you to ride motorcycles during daylight hours. Your post indicates that you already know how to ride, so this shouldn't be a problem. Then head on back during the daylight (when else would DMV be open) and take your road test. It is a pain in the ass to go to DC DMV twice, but unless someone volunteers, it may be your best bet.

I asked for one when I moved here (I had one in Mass. but hadn't gotten the actual license yet). They looked really confused, then gave me the written test for a motorcycle endoresement, and then handed me a license with an M on it. So I never actually took a road test. It's kind of nice when bureaucratic mistakes work in your favor. (For the record, after getting that M on my license, I did in fact take the MSF course and pass and could have gotten the license without the test anyway...) In defense of the DC DMV (yes, you read that right) my dealings with them were never bad. There were a few really stupid rules that made no sense (like that you have to get a bike inspected BEFORE you can get a plate, what they consider "proof of residence," etc.) but I never waited around any longer than I did in Massachusetts, Connecticut, or New York, the people were uniformly helpful and pleasant (despite working in a dysfuntional organization), and I was always pleasantly surprised by them. When I moved to Virginia I was absolutely amazed by how efficient they were.

I'm posting this for fellow lister Lenzy Echols (lurk mode). E-mail him, not me, for details, interests, haggling, etc., at lenzy@XXXXXX. The bike is located in Virginia Beach. '94 CBR600 F2 Wht/Rd/Blk color scheme, meticulously maintained, fully adjustable suspension, D207s, DynoJet Stage 2, Mike Velasco "Freddie Spencer" stainless header and pipe with carbon fiber, 15t sprocket up front, 45t rear (if I remember correctly), rear fender tuck with trunk, new voltage regulator, Lockhart windscreen (Red color matched), carbon look accents, 30k careful miles. $4500/obo I have seen and ridden this bike (well of course... he is my best friend) and it is about the fasted and nicest handling F2 that I have ever thrown a leg over. It still rides like a brand new bike and puts a smile on my face every time I ride it! Definitely a sweet bike. If I wasn't buying the new Firebird Formula it would be in my driveway! If you know of anyone interested let'em know!

I was shocked when I was passed by a number of motorcyclists. Some bikers slowed down to offer help and I cheerfully waived them on thankful that they at east showed the common courtesy of offering help to someone in distress. I have always stopped for any biker who is on the side of the road to offer whatever assistance I can unless they are already being helped by someone else or waive me off. I must say, though I have a bad feeling toward BMW riders as I was passed by several when I was broken down and none of them even gave me a second thought. Ironically several jeep drivers offered help (must be riders in their other lives).

Every time that you stop for someone you are taking the risk of being robbed, injured, or the worst of all... murdered! I know that this is a terrible way to think BUT the world in general in my not so humble opinion has gone WAAAYYY off it's rocker. I used to stop for people (when I was younger) all of the time to offer help, etc. Now,I want to be able to get home to my family and friends and live my life peacefully. Stopping for someone now is just too damn dangerous although stopping for motorcyclists is a little safer. I will, however, be more than happy to call someone for assistance if the driver looks like they need help. I won't stop though unless there is something critical happening at the scene, lets say an accident or something of that nature. If someone calls me then I'm on my way to help the second that I'm hanging up the phone. I am generally open to helping the people around me. Unfortunately though, my faith in humanity in general was greatly diminished by something that happened over this past weekend. It's not a topic for this discussion group but I'm mentioning it so that folks know that I'm not some kinda asshole.

Speaking from experience, there's a good chance they've been broken down on the side of the road also. Luckily, the pre-fuel injected ones can be fixed with a hammer, some bailing wire, and a few extra quarts of oil.

This is in part due to a friend of mine who is friends with the Commissioner of the DMV.

There! :-) If you have ever considered owning one of these great dogs, or know someone who is looking for one.. let me know. Daisy's breeder contacted me for some assistance in finding three retired greyhounds homes. They are male littermates, less than 3 years old, and will have all medical work (including neutering) done before placement. There would be no cost for the dog itself (vs $150-$200 through a rescue group), but you would have to figure out how to get the dog from New York (Long Island to be specific). Sorry for the wasted bandwith.. but a lot of you have met my dogs! And greyhounds just love motorcycles.. yeah, that's it! :-) Anita From dc-cycles-request Wed Aug 11 12:13:19 1999 Return-Path: garicao@XXXXXX Received: from cap1.CapAccess.org (root@XXXXXX [151.200.199.10]) by meretrix.com (8.8.8/8.7.3) with SMTP id MAA06645 for ; Wed, 11 Aug 1999 12:13:16 -0400 (EDT) Received: (from garicao@localhost) by cap1.CapAccess.org (8.6.12/8.6.10) id MAA19185; Wed, 11 Aug 1999 12:11:41 -0400 Date: Wed, 11 Aug 1999 12:11:40 -0400 (EDT) From: Garcia Oliver To: "Louis F.

He was heading toward Reston on the parkway and I was coming off of Lawyers Road, heading home from work in my truck. I noticed him looking down at his bike with a sort of helpless expression, so I figured the bike was not running. I went through the intersection, then turned around and pulled over to assist him. I happened to have my ramp and tie-downs in the back of the truck, so it was no sweat to get the bike up in there and over to Cyclesport in Herndon. I then drove him a mile or so to his house.

If you want the world to be a better place, you've got to pitch in. Take the first step.. start the process.. what's that saying about "if not me, then who?" I too am a bit.. uhm... cynical, we all know these things happen, like columbine, mark barton, that russian guy who killed cosby's son, we all know these incidents happen. Are these things possible? yes.. are they probable? no. Have you ever heard of someone setting up a 'broken down motorist' trap on the beltway/parkwway? I haven't. it's more likely a predator happens upon a person broken down, or tricks them into thinking something is wrong with their car.. then does something.. not wait for someone. Hey I don't mind if you (tom) tell me the story of what happened this weekend.. especially if it's local.. As far as the odds go, i'd be willing to bet you're atleast 40 times more likely to have a motorcycle accident and get hurt than have a broken down motorist sicko trap. Most murder victims are killed by poeple they know. i'm not saying we should always stop.. but I am saying we shouldn't always keep on going. btw I heard R1 motorcycles were being 'bike jacked' at gun point on branch avenue. Guys in a van hop out and bike jack the person, always R1's though.

Bike was stolen (and recovered) two weeks > ago, and has been somewhat screwy since. > (see next message for more help with that...) Story goes like this: I was in San Antonio, TX for a couple weeks. The bike (CBR F4, 5K miles) is chained to the curb, covered, and disc-locked. Theives stole the cover, cut the chain, but couldn't figure out the disk lock. So, they tried to carry the bike away, but were very unsuccessful. The bike ended up in a ditch, about 200 yards from where it was parked. Dropped on the right side. Got police report, call insurance company, etc. Here's what I can see that need fixed: 1. FIX THE &()*&(*&# KILL SWITCH!!!!! 2. New rear tire. No, honestly. It was fine before, but it's got a nail in it now. 3. Front fairing. It's cracked where the turn signal attaches. 4. Right side fairing. Scratched. 5. Right side mirror. Deep scratches. 6. Right side turn signal. Busted, but fixed already. 7. There's something "not right" about it. Don't know what it is, but it may be something as simple as re-aligning the bars to my body. Questions: For this small amount of work, do I even make a claim? $500 deduct Who do I take this to for insurance work? I need someplace that I can trust work work with the insurance company (State Farm, BTW) and fix everything, and do it correctly. Is it wrong(ie, illegal) to get the money, and not fix some things, (say like the mirror and turn signal, which aren't that bad...) and take that money and apply it to something else, say like, a slip on?? I'm in Laurel, MD. The bike is very much ridable, and if anybody wants to go ride tonight, I'm up for a cpl hours on the bike....

Also, it might be a good idea to have someone figure out why it's "just not right." With the labor and parts I figure you'd go over $500. If you know a shop you trust, it might be worth time just to have the piece of mind that everything was straight. The only thing to think about would be whether the claim would lead to an increase in your rates. Since it's not your fault, I figure you should be alright there, but those insurance people are all out to get us so I could be very wrong about that. Good luck and keep us posted.

This is the story... it's not really about helping others but rather about helping ourselves. The three of us along with my family which included my mother, sister, fianc=E9, her son, his daughter, my brother who is disabled= , and his two friends of which also are disabled took a trip to Kings Dominion on Saturday. =20 Well, towards the end of the evening we decided that hitting the World famo= us Volcano roller coaster would be the perfect end to a pretty decent day. Wh= ile in line for the ride a couple of gang-banger types tried cutting way up to = the front of the line. Now imagine this... here are two these guys... cutting = in front of all these people who have been waiting for a VERY long time to get= a chance to ride the roller coaster and no one is doing a thing about it! So= they cut in front us and Jeannette immediately cuts back in front of them and th= ey didn't even question it! Why? Because they're punk freakin' assholes that can't do a thing to anyone unless they're in groups that's why! =20 Now the interesting part... we're in line for let's say a good hour, maybe = an hour and a half at this point. These guys are calling up their friends fro= m the platform below and they'd just keep on coming. At this point they've proba= bly got a good 15 men and a few girls. Next thing we know one guy is pushing h= is way past Brian (shoving his way) and Brian grabs his arm and says, "Uh uh, = no way." Next thing this guy is yelling at Brian asking him if he was "fuckin= g crazy" of which Brian replied with a, "Are you?" (Brian's a pretty big guy)= ... now this guy is going on... I've already sprung into action as well at this point to either block Brian from being hit or spit at (which the guy was preparing to do both) and then next thing we know the guy was being pulled = away by his buddy. We did manage to get a couple of cheers from the background = but other than that nothing else. No help or anything. Now... we finally get on the ride which by the way was the coolest thing (outside of the Flight of Fear) that I have ever done at KD. Highly recommended. We get off the ride and we're now all waiting for my brother = and one of his friends to come off of the ride and while we're waiting the enti= re group is massing together. A good 12 men at least plus some stragglers tha= t I noticed kinda hiding out. At this point Jeannette notices what's going on = and decides that we should move as the whole time they were walking around behi= nd us making gestures to one another. When we started to leave, they began to fo= llow us shouting, "Don't run away now... y'all got shit to face!" We went as qu= ickly as we could to the nearest game tent to try and get security. Well, after = 15 minutes of trying to tell the girl (who thought we were being paranoid and didn't notice them all hiding around the corner from us) that we were in trouble. Security finally showed up, knew who the individuals were, and he= aded over to disband them and get them moved out (it was closing time which made= it all worse). They told us not to worry about it and if we had a problem try= ing to get out to just stop in a store and call security again. =20 Now, to make things worse we had to leave the park, go and get Hera from th= e Kennel there, then proceed to walk about a half mile in open territory to t= he car while the whole time worrying about whether or not one of these punks w= as going to come after us and start shooting. I also had to make sure that my mother, my brother, and his friends were able to get out safely as they wer= e all seen with us during the incident. Then we couldn't even stop to get someth= ing to drink and use the restrooms until we were safe enough away from the area (they all claimed to be from the Hampton Roads area when I heard them talki= ng... they would have been traveling south... we went north). I have been in some really bad situations before and I have run with some p= retty rough people in my life but this was the first time that I was ever truly i= n fear for my own life and I was not being paranoid. When you think of the C= rips and Bloods, this is what we had to deal with... the real thing. And what m= ade everything worse and what makes me "cynical" is the fact that not one perso= n that we tried to help in that line made one attempt to help us. Not one. Anyway... now you all know.

If you want the world to be a better place, you've got to pitch in. Take the first step.. start the process.. what's that saying about "if not me, then who?" I too am a bit.. uhm... cynical, we all know these things happen, like columbine, mark barton, that russian guy who killed cosby's son, we all know these incidents happen. Are these things possible? yes.. are they probable? no. Have you ever heard of someone setting up a 'broken down motorist' trap on the beltway/parkwway? I haven't. it's more likely a predator happens upon a person broken down, or tricks them into thinking something is wrong with their car.. then does something.. not wait for someone. Hey I don't mind if you (tom) tell me the story of what happened this weekend.. especially if it's local.. As far as the odds go, i'd be willing to bet you're atleast 40 times more likely to have a motorcycle accident and get hurt than have a broken down motorist sicko trap. Most murder victims are killed by poeple they know. i'm not saying we should always stop.. but I am saying we shouldn't always keep on going. btw I heard R1 motorcycles were being 'bike jacked' at gun point on branch avenue. Guys in a van hop out and bike jack the person, always R1's though. I think i read it on dcsportbikes yahoo page.

So make an insurance claim. Its not an accident, so your rates should not increase (although if you have numerous comprehensive claims they do get suspicious. It in NOT illegal to take the money yourself. However, do get an estimate from a shop for parts+labor (your are entitled to have a shop replace the plastic). Take the money, then have the shop fix ONLY the items you can't (sounds like kill switch and rear tire mounting). Then buy the plastic pieces from a discount place (Honda of Milpitas is good, www.hondamil.com) and install them yourslef. You will save about 20% over dealer cost for the plastic and 100% of the labor for installing the plastic (easy!). I bet you have plenty left to cover the deductible and then some.

The bike (CBR F4, 5K miles) is chained to the curb, covered, and disc-locked. Theives stole the cover, cut the chain, but couldn't figure out the disk lock. So, they tried to carry the bike away, but were very unsuccessful. The bike ended up in a ditch, about 200 yards from where it was parked. Dropped on the right side.

I don't ride in Maryland but I am aware of the laws in each of the surrounding states. No I cannot carry my weapon concealed into Maryland and I cannot carry at all into DC. I can carry into Maryland my weapon as long as it's not loaded and the projectiles are in a locked environment. If attacked though I can use deadly force and will to protect myself and family/friends. And the "hung life Tweety Bird comment... what the hell kinda jerk are you?? Smiley face or no smiley face... don't be a dick! Do you know me? Have you seen what I've seen? I have no problem beating someone to an inch of their own life if warranted but man... these are freakin' crazy times and there are freakin' crazy people out there. Maybe in your sheltered suburban-ite Virginia world everything is all roses but in the real world of which you know absolutely nothing about things are much different. Maybe one day... however I seriously doubt it now... my gun may be the one to save your pitiful life.

Have someone drive you down to VA. It is my understanding that you do not have to have an M classification on your license to ride. You are required to get one for insurance. Chicken and the egg.

Open your eyes you > moron! If only the children had concealed weapons! Look, I'm not going to get into this discussion here -- it's not the place for it, and nothing productive is likely to come out of it -- but having just read a whole string of really self-righteous replies that would fall into what this unrepentant Massachusetts liberal would call the "gun nut" category, I'll just say: self-righteousness has a way of provoking insult, no matter what side of a particular ideological divide it's coming from. So don't get all huffy that someone responded that way. There are motorcyclists on here who, like you, feel very strongly that carrying a gun protects them. There are others, like me, who would prefer the crime rates of say, all of western Europe to those of places where concealed weapons are allowed and more common (like, say, Texas). We're not going to change each other's minds. So if you can restrain yourself from posting messages about the glories of carrying lethal force, I will happily restrain myself from posting messages about the rates of gun death in the US as compared to other western nations, or the rates at which privately owned guns cause accidental deaths of their owners and owners' families versus protecting those people, and so on.

To: Ken Woods , Randy Moran Cc: dc-cycles MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I don't think they will raise your rates.. you might have to remind them later when you go to renew, it's not your fault, as they might not see the details of the claim at the time. Heyser put a more expensive tire on my bike after promising me they'd put on the tire I want. When I went to pick it up, they tried to claim no tire was made for my bike that was any cheaper than what they put on, which I had to tell them I knew for a fact they were wrong. Then they still gave my a shitty attitude. And my whole approach was "I'm not trying to create any problems, but I feel you should have called me before putting this tire on, when it was specifically understood what tire I wanted and promised would recieve." Then they had a few other miscellanious costs which racked up $10 which were "shop costs and insurance fee" wtf, I have to pay insurance for you keeping my bike because YOU HAVE TO keep it? And they acted like I saved $110 because i baught the tires there. "your bill would have been $330 but". Gee thanks guys.. hope to never have to see you again. Since i wanted my bike back after already waiting 3 days (both tires changed, and front brakes, and inspection), I probably didn't even need the front tire, or front brakes, but I wanted the inspection so bad, I let them sell it to me over the phone, thinking it'd only be about $100 more and plus i'd get new parts, so what the heck. I paid for the more expensive tire. Also I had to call them to find out my bike was ready, and had been ready since the morning time, if nto the day before. I don't like their attitude towards the customer there, and hopefully won't have to deal with them again, as there are 2 other shops just as close to me. They're a bunch of idiots if you ask me, content because they're backed up with customers, due to the scareness of local bike shops. Of course crooks are might be just what you want in this situation. I wouldn't expect your bike to be ready too soon though. I'd soon do work myself on the bike than take it back there. --- Ken Woods wrote: > On Wed, 11 Aug 1999, Randy Moran wrote: > > > Seems like the cost to replace the fairing pieces alone would > justify > > the insurance claim.

I have had my Concealed Permit for almost 2yrs. I live in a world of reality and that is that anything can happen and you must be as prepared as possible within reason. If that means that I carry a gun and be prepared to shoot another human dead then so be it. I have been shot at and shot back. It is not something I look forward to but I am more prepared then most of the population. The person makes the mistake of an attempt on my life or someone around me (like Tom,Jeanette etc..) I will shoot until they are dead and there will only be one side to the story. MINE..... When you grow up in a neighborhood such as the one Tom and I did you learn to live with the fact that life is not all about peaches and cream.......It is hard and in some cases must be dealt with in a hard manner. Tom is not out looking for a fight nor I am but if it happens we will be in the position hopefully to defend ourselves as needed. As far as the tweety bird comment---A gun is in no way a substitute for manhood. I am sure Tom could get laid any day of the week without a gun. Just ask Jeanette. If you think for minute that is truly a reason for some people to get a weapon then you are the small minded prick we will end up reading about who was taken out due to ignorance.

Well, after five decades of seeing, I've probably seen a lot more. I survived 4 school years in New York with the gangs. Was in a gang in north Jersey. Caught in the midst of a couple riots in DC. Remember DC burning after MLKs assassination? Had to breach the police lines to rescue my bride who was caught in that one. That was interesting. Like John Whiteside, I'll drop this thread now and won't even attempt to bandy about gun facts. But I will say this - I'm not the least ignorant. I'm a Math dude and I play the percentages.

Updated 7:05 PM ET August 11, 1999 WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. government has reminded Americans who use Global Positioning System (GPS) navigational receivers to check that they can cope with an internal date change in the system due later this month. GPS is a satellite-based system run by the Department of Defense that plays an increasingly important role in civilian life, including airline operations, truck fleet tracking, recreational boating and computer maps in cars. "Receivers that are not built to standards could process satellite data incorrectly and display inaccurate information," the Department of Transportation (DOT) said in a statement. The August date rollover for GPS occurs because the system was designed to ignore calendar dates, but keep precise time measured in seconds and weeks. Only 1,024 weeks were allotted from Jan. 6 in 1980 before the system resets to zero. That is due to occur over the weekend of August 21-22. Older GPS receivers could become confused by the reset, giving either wrong times or positions, or no information at all. DOT said it had posted a list of receiver manufactures and contacts on the Internet at www.navcen.uscg.mil/gps/geninfo/y2k/default.htm A boat owners' organization, BOAT/U.S., has advised members that most GPS receivers made after 1994 should be ready for the August rollover.

And I believe that no one on the list really needs to or cares to hear comments such as the ones below (I've removed the names of the insulters so as not to insult them). If you MUST go out of your way to stoop to childish name-calling then PLEASE do it off-list.
