I saw the new models at Battley's the first day they got them in(I was there getting the Buell worked on :-P).About the only differences I could see were slightly different padding and a slight change to the vents. Personally,if I were looking for a new lid,I'd save the money and try to find a leftover RF7 or X8.

(Except for about one minute of sprinkles, there was no rain all day) The three hardy riders who put their faith in me to lead them were: Tom Mersch Don Wu Sean (sorry, forgot your last name) We met in Oxon Hill at about 10:30 and left 11:00 sharp. The first set of roads went fine, but then after turning on Bryan's Point Road, I learned that the road I planned on turning onto was a private and dirt road. Oh well, U-turn and figure out another way to get there. After that we stopped for gas, and Sean needed a new bolt for his licence plate. The previous roads were bumpy and he lost one. Good thing he had it replaced then, cuz the next road was VERY bumpy. When we turned on 224, I had the guys spread out, cuz I wanted them to have their space. Don and Sean wound up bunched together, but I managed to hang back and enjoy. We met at the end of the road and swap bench racing stories about the road we just finished. (100 mph? Nah, get outta here!) But we all did agree it was a great road to ride. After that we rode into La Plata for some Bar-b-que. I asked the folks if they wanted to continue on a bit, or head back. They were all in a good mood, so we continued on. We went pass Budd's Creek. I resisted the tempation to turn in and run a couple of laps around the track. I watched as the guys all refueled. I love the 7.5 gal tank on the Concours!! We then ran a loop around and back to La Plata. >From there we decided to take 301 North, through Waldorf (the only traffic we really hit), then split up onto Rt 5, 495, and other parts. The ride was about 150 miles by the end. Hope the other three enjoyed it as much as I did.

The first is a 1996 Honda CBR1000 leftover, the other is a Honda PC800. found both for a good price, and am planning on adding to my stable this summer. (I have a promotion coming, so I figure the pay raise will make up the payments.) I had thought about a Buell S3T or a new Duc ST2 but the money for that much isnt going to be there. On the other hand these two, and a couple others , like the Honda VTR 1000 are in the ballpark. I have talked before about the Buell M2 Cyclone, the other interesting bikes I have looked at were the Honda CBR600 and a Ninja ZX6( not the 6R). But the deals on the others seem a lot better, especially for a bike that will spend a llot of time droning down the Dulles Greenway at 75-80 ;) Had a great day riding Friday, first day off in a while that it didnt pour down all day. Only hit one short shower runnning up to PA, and western MD stopping at the various bike shops. Looks like there are still some deals to be made. I did not realize that some of the manufacturers were still having trouble moving leftovers. I like that ;). means theres hope for me yet. I just sold my spare bike to Dale, and now Im back into the have to get a second bike mode. Thank god theres no rush though.

Memorial Day is observed on May 25th, which gives us a 3-day weekend to goof around on some very fine roads! I was thinking we could ride as a group as far south as possible on Thursday afternoon with a destination to Waynesboro, VA or further, where we could camp for the evening. Waynesboro is where the Blue Ridge Parkway (BRP) and the Skyline Drive meet. According to Map-n-Go 3.0, the quickest route to Waynesboro is 133 miles (out of Pentagon City) and 2:42 hours. With stops and setting up camp, expect 4 hours total. This would be a great starting point to get to TN by Friday evening. Some information: The BRP is 470 miles long at 45mph. That's 10.44 hours of riding W/O stopping. And your still not at Deals Gap yet. That's another 55 miles. Some options: Since the lower half of the BRP should NOT be rushed (especially if you've never done it) we should expect some serious delay in the above calculation for time. So, why not just ride as far south as Linville Falls, NC (right at the famous route 181, the namesake of Draggin Jeans). That cuts back to a 7.17 for a total of 323 miles. Again with stops for gas and lunch and scenic overlooks expect Friday to last about 12-15 hours on the road. From Linville Falls, it is a mere 202 miles to deals gap, via the BRP to rt28 west. But hey, since we're at 181, why not ride that sucker down and then up again. Serious willy factor here folks, and it only adds another 50-60 miles to the day. We would be in Deals Gap late afternoon on Saturday. Set up camp and pretty much have all day Sunday to explore some truly intense twisty turny roads. Finally, Ride back home Monday (an all day ride). Let's start some dialogue on this. Any thoughts?

Day weekend this year. I believe our plans are to head for the Dragon this time. Our usual first day, and we often don't get going real early (doh!) is to head as far south as Roanoke. Usually we meet some friends there who ride up from Atlanta, as a sort-of midpoint. It's very reachable even if you get a late start (heck, we've got an extra 40 miles from here), and you'll save yourself roughly 90 miles getting going the next day. Food and lodging is plentiful in the area, whether you choose to hit civilization or skirt around the fringes. Just some helpful thoughts. There's a pretty good chance we'll all run into each other anyway... MET At 05:30 PM 3/2/98 -0500, you wrote: >....on another dreary Monday.

Is anyone is interested in leaving early Sunday morning, riding the slab to Deals Gap, making one (or three) passes at the Dragon, then coming home on the slab on the other side of the mountains. Since I've already done a few 1000 mile days, I'd go along as the official witness and provide extra forms for anyone who needs it. I'd like to run the Dragon 3 times through, others can run it once and nap during the second round trip. We should plan on doing this in about 20 hours. By doing this on Sunday when the rest of DC cycles is there, it allows us to meet everyone and get a much needed boost at the halfway point. Leon. Todd Peer wrote: > ....on another dreary Monday.

Hey guys, I have Dale Coyners Book, Its called 'Motorcycle Journeys Through the Appalachians' Its available through WhitehorsePress and probably elsewhere. The ISBN # is 1-884313-02-7. If you dont get the WhiteHorse press catalog, you should anyway, it makes great reading in its own right and you can get a copy or order the book from http://www.WhitehorsePress.com. Anyway the book covers routes and rides from PA through MD,VA,WV,and NC. I have used the PA,WV,VA and MD sections extensively and have enjoyed it very much. Has made for some great reading over this El-Nino winter also.

AAA has a map of the BRP. There is another one available from Whitehorse Press (http://www.whitehorsepress.com) which is so-so.

Someone already mentioned the AAA map, which we used last year (uh, the week after Memorial Day). AAA has lots of great maps. Make sure that you get the VA and NC (and TN) maps also, I'll explain why later. Whitehorse press has a motorcycling the Blue Ridge map which mostly covers western NC, eastern TN. Will help you find Deal's Gap, motorcycle campgrounds, and includes LOTS of great southern NC roads. It is very nice and costs only 4 or 5 dollars. Crossroads of Time, the store/hotel/MC Campground on the NC end of Deal's Gap, has a packet of maps of great motorcycling roads which you can buy. If you have time, check out the Cherohala Skyway. I'll try to get my Memorial Day week to Deal's Gap pictures up with a web page this weekend. I've been lax. I'll warn you, though, it rained and rained and rained. And the fog on the BRP was thicker than peanut butter. Made for interesting pics but not such interesting riding. We ended up on nearby roads more often than on the Parkway and after four days of it headed away from the area on superslab just to get out of the constant rain. And Yes, I the rain goddess, did Deal's Gap in the rain. Have a great time!

It has all the campgrounds, overlooks, etc. In NC you might want to check out the two motorcycle campgrounds - can't think of their names right now. One is about 20 miles off the BRP - but it's still fun.

I scheduled Saturday to install a new Electronic Cruise Control system on the ST and figured it'd take roughly 5-6 hours of work. Prior to Saturday morning, I cleaned the garage and removed plastic taking some time to finally clean off all that road crud and salt that has adorned the lowers for so long. Part of the plan for Saturday was to help Linda Tanner install some brake pads up front. So I called her and told her to be over by 11am (so I could sleep in :-). "I gotta get the bike inspected, and they close at 12pm!"...Do'h. "Alright then, be here by 10am". Well it turns out, I was up by 9am because this was also the weekend my roomate was moving out. With the noise, who could sleep...sigh. It took about 20 minutes a caliper to replace the pads on Lindas' F3 and then she was gone. She came back later to keep me company and offer a hand. The ECC is comprised of five sub-systems: Cruise Control Switch, Cable interface Unit, Speed Sensor, Computer, and the Vacuum Actuator. It's all tied into a single wiring harness that MCC provides. For my bike, in addition to the plastic removal I needed to remove the fuel cell. That top cover houses the air filter and carbs, not a gas tank. The instructions for installation are just a little better than moderately understandable. I think that they could be improved with better quality pictures of the procedures being described. I found that (having previously read the instructions) reading and re-reading some of the instructions, the intention finally sank in. The hardest part of the install was assembling and tuning the Cable Interface unit. It's a box with two seperate spindles that allow the Vacuum Actuater Cable to take control of the throttle when the ECC is engaged. The VAC uses one spindle and the throttle cable with an extended throttle cable (from the CUI) uses the other spindle. So, you've got three cables running into the CUI. Features: - There is an diagnostic mode to test that the sensor and computer are talking. - Works just like a car ECC. Acquire your desired speed, press SET and the system takes over. Up and Down hills keeps you w/in about 1mph. - Pressing SET while the ECC is engaged bumps your speed up a little. Press and hold and the speed increases steadily. - Hit the brakes, the system dis-engages. Press RESUME and your previously acquired speed is obtained. - While engaged, Pressing RESUME bumps your speed down. Press and hold and the speed decreases steadily. So far, I like. I like alot. This system will come in very handy over this summer, as I plan to put a lot of miles on the ST.

The good thing though is that you won't feel tired until the end of the day, because you'll constantly be in awe of the scenary and laughing outloud at all the fun in the corners you're having. Regardless of the headcount we get for this ride, I planned on staying within reasonable speed limits (sometimes 55mph, sometimes 35mph) and just enjoying the ride. Expect close to 1,200 miles total for the weekend...Th, Fr, Sa, Su, Mo We've got until the end of May to get those skills honed. So let's do it. I think Leon was planning on another skill testing day to be combined with the Picnic hosted by Dale and Tracy. Can we have that w/in a couple of weeks of flying south?

Getting the run around from them as to where I can park my bike and where to put the rear-view mirror hanger permit they gave me or if I even need the damn thing. I've called Parking - they say we don't issue those, call Extended Learning, they say call Parking. When I tell them that Parking told me to call them, they said they will have Parking call me. Found a phone number on the hanger, called it - they say call Parking. I'm wondering why put your phone number on the hanger if I have to call Parking - she said there is parking for Motocycles between buildings CF and CC. Just wanted to know if this is true plus anyone else I should be calling instead of Parking.

If you've gone more than 150 miles in a day, and have ridden your bike with camping gear for a couple of hours, you can do this trip. Doing it my way, (1000 miles in one day) I'd advise having done more than 400 miles in a day. In either case, the important thing to remember is don't ride beyond your limits. Watch yourself, if you see you're doing dumb things, tell somebody. I don't think anyone would complain about taking an extra stop or two rather than see anyone get hurt. Leon.

While I haven't done a whole lot of long distance riding, if I can find the time to go (I'll try to remember to put in the vacation request now) I might be able to ride in the back and wait for stragglers. If I go, I'll be riding two-up, so riding more conservatively anyway. And, as Todd pointed out, due to LEOs and the scenery, it won't be a super hectic route anyway. ``` (o o) *------------oooO----(_)-------------------* |..George Howell..ghowell@XXXXXX..........| |.................georgehowell@XXXXXX..| *--------------------------oooO------------* |__||__| || || ooO Ooo From dc-cycles-request@XXXXXX Tue Mar 3 23:40:37 1998 Received: from tove.cs.umd.edu by pita.cs.umd.edu (8.8.5/UMIACS-0.9/04-05-88) id XAA07969; Tue, 3 Mar 1998 23:40:36 -0500 (EST) Received: from mimsy.cs.umd.edu by tove.cs.umd.edu (8.8.5/UMIACS-0.9/04-05-88) id XAA15552; Tue, 3 Mar 1998 23:39:58 -0500 (EST) Received: from mail.olg.com by mimsy.cs.umd.edu (8.8.5/UMIACS-0.9/04-05-88) id XAA00032; Tue, 3 Mar 1998 23:39:56 -0500 (EST) Received: from [207.226.128.58] (unverified [207.226.128.58]) by mail.olg.com (Rockliffe SMTPRA 2.1.4) with SMTP id ; Tue, 03 Mar 1998 23:39:21 -0500 Message-ID: Subject: Re: Ride This Weekend??

I have never worked on Mikuni's before (actually, I've done VERY little carb work at all myself). I got the float bowls off, the gaskets appear to be in good shape, do I need to replace them anyway? Should just dab a tiny bit of glue goo on them and reassemble when the time comes? I pulled the floats out and float needle. Should I pull out the float valve seat? I can't figure out how to do it, it doesn't easily pull out after I removed the hold down screw. Can I pull off the top covers w/o damaging the diaphragms or do you think that I'll have to replace those too if I pull the cover?

It's not really twisty, just lots of gentle rolling curves. They give you lots of turning practice without coming so fast you feel overwhelmed. Deal's Gap is another thing. Remember a couple of things. Don't push yourself beyond what you can do. It's only 11 miles, so you can handle it, but let the guys and girls that want to push the envelope through first. That's what I did, and I enjoyed it immensely. After going down the BRP, you'll love Deal's Gap.
