For the riding I do the rear feels just fine but the front is a bit soft. I do understand you're reaction to the Duc. Motorcycles are rather emotional beasts to begin with and there is *something* about Ducatis that raises ones heart rate a bit. If I ever decide to add a second bike to the stable, the SS750i.e. and SS900 will be at the top of the list for consideration.

States which derive federal funding for roads must permit motorcycles access to HOV lanes unless the state can prove that it is more dangerous for the m/cs to be there. Virginia and Texas resisted - VA got forced into a two year "trial" and appointed a commission to study the results. VA got bit by its own commission - the findings were that M/Cs are safer in the HOV lane and pose no threat to traffic. Virginia backed down, and the signs now read "HOV-x and Motorcycles".

Federal law alows MC's to be in ANY HOV lane! this is a great law. about the only one I really like. as for 270 they have real little signs under about every 3-4th HOV sign saying motorcycles OK. can't really see them but they are there.

I-66 is HOV only during "rush" hours, and then only in the direction of the rush, as far as I know. I parked my broken down motorcycle in the National lot, pushing it off GW parkway and into the lot. The attendant there forced me to get a parking ticket, which I did. The next day I showed up with my mechanic to tow the bike out of there. We got a ticket upon entry, loaded up the bike onto the pickup truck with the assistance of a nearby parking attendant, and drove out about 15 minutes later. The booth person looked at our ticket and let us out for free since we'd been there less than 30 minutes. I quickly tore up my bike ticket and enjoyed some money saved (other than the tow, of course). On the other hand, it just goes to show how easily a bike might be stolen out of one of those lots.

My Duratrack Jacket, like Dale's Gerbing is "rain resistant" (like the way I put that) so my top end stays dry if its only a light rain or sprinkle. When it lets loose like it has been here recently, it just doesn't cut the mustard. It's definitely a love/hate relationship but I will always keep it in the bag just in case. For the most part if you want to stay 100% dry you have to except the fact that its going to be like a ready bake over, at least for the money I have to spend on a suit. Nelson P.S.

Anyway I decided several years ago (after about 4 months of commuting up and down 395) to ditch the rainsuit -- they ALL leave you sweating and wet, even in the morning, EXCEPT that is when its cold enough to freeze inside one! If you commute or ride a lot in the rain (and who doesn't around here?) consider investing in something like an Aerostich two piece suit. I've got a (much cheaper) Firstgear Kilmanjaro jacket (and pants) that has lots of vents -- and I usually leave several open in the rain. I've never gotten wet at all in this.

Are the Goretex pants the Firstgear pair that go with the Kilmanjaro jacket? If so you've got the same combination I've had for about 3 or 4 yeears. I got mine when they first came out. You won't get wet unless you fall into a puddle or the Pooptowmack River. If the pants are not the matching set, you probably do not have enough leg protection though. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

I've been caught in several heavy downpours on freeways and stayed dry in this combo. The JR pants do tend to leak in the crotch area after thirty minutes or so, but I've heard the same complaint with other pants too. The seepage is compounded by riding a bike with no fairing. It seems like all the water that hits the front of your body ends up running down onto the seat and into the crotch area. The JR pants are vented but they still get pretty toasty above 80. They really cut the wind and are great in temps down into the twenties, with several layers underneath. Paul A.

I pull over and discover that my muffler fell off! OK, I managed to find it (scratched, dented, etc., but not run over) and save it. The old muffler _might_ be re-usable, but here's my excuse to put on a lighter aftermarket slip-on muffler. I'm riding a Yamaha GTS, and literally no one makes a pipe for it. I'm prepared to use a pipe or muffler that's meant for another bike. I think the fuel injection system should handle anything that's not too far out. I know some people have used the V&H SS2, but some have reported a serious loss in low-end power, others are happy with the YZF750 version. Anyway, does anyone have a suggestion for a lightweight muffler that won't be much louder and won't detract from the engine power? Ideally, I'd like to buy something locally tomorrow so I can get it together (including having any connecting pipes made) in time to head to Canada on Thursday. I've called some of the local shops, but very few places have pipes (or just the muffler) in stock.

Hopefully your bike has a center stand. But if not, a swing-arm service stand is always a nice investment. Doing this work is so much easier if the rear wheel can fly. I have a "Grunge Brush" which is essentially a short bristle brush that has three faces (shaping a U). Dip brush and scrub, scrub, scrub. Move chain, repeat. The kerosene/bristle combo does a real good job of loosening all the built up grime. I think I've seen the "Grunge Brush" at local bike shops. Worth it. Then take a clean rag and, as you are moving the rear-wheel, grab the chain to wipe it down. Fold rag, repeat, repeat, repeat. Eventually you will get something that looks like a clean chain. Take the bike out for a few laps, come back and lube. Or be lazy like me and just lube it. I know some people swear by WD-40, but remember it is a pentrating lubricant and will get past your o-rings. Your call. I use PJ-1 because it streams out the nozzle. Otherwise I'd use SAE90 (a little messier). Can't help you with the rust especially if it is just stained rust. If it is flaky, just scrub it off. Hope all this helps.

I thought the PJ-lubes were gummy and stuck to 90 wgt oil. In sub-cold wetehr the frigging PJ crap would *glue* the chain links together and for the first ten or so miles the chain would actually rise and slap the top of the chain gaurd.

So, heat the chain up with my hair dryer (just And how long has that been? How many miles does the chain have in total? My guideline was to lube the chain every ~600 miles (more often after riding in the rain or in dusty/sandy/diry conditions), with a possible "clean" at every lube. I never bothered to go through the whole procedure of removing the chain to thoroughly clean it. => kidding!), anyways...heat the chain up as I was told to, went the WD-40 => route....sprayed it on putting a rag behind it as not to spray anything => else...grabbed the only scrubbing thing I had around, a new toothbrush, and => scrubbed away at it. Let it sit for a little while. Then washed it off => with a damp rag. So, first question: was that the correct method??? Well, it's not what I would do. My procedure was: ride to heat up the chain spray it down with WD40 only if it's dirty enough to need a cleaning, rather than just a lube. You don't want to leave a lot of abrasive grit on the chain, particularly if you use a lube that stays tacky. I'd usually use enough WD40 that it would drip lightly from the chain, then wipe as much off as I could while spinning the rear wheel. OK, when that's done, let the chain sit for a few minutes more to allow the solvent to evaporate, then apply the lube of your choice. If you're really concerned, you could actually ride the bike a bit first, as you should try to lube the chain while it's warm. I'm very fond of Chain Wax as my lubricant of choice. It's also a great way to protect tools, guns (there, I said the "G" word), etc. that will need to be stored for a long time. I'd never make the last step wiping the chain with a damp rag. What you did was remove the surface layer of dirt & lube with the WD40, then remove the WD40, leaving a film of water. No good. For me, the whole cleaning & lubing process evolved...I started doing the clean & lube thing as described above (actually, I confess that when I first learned to ride, I really didn't know !*(!@# and I never cleaned or lubed or adjusted the chain). The next step was to use the "grunge brush" that someone else mentioned. It works, but it's really not portable if you're doing a lot of touring. I then tried the Z Chain Oiler . It's like a 4-sided box with brushes and small holes inside. The box opens, and has a fitting for a spray can. You close it around the chain, spray cleaner onto the chain while spinning the rear wheel, wipe down the chain, then spray lube. Done! Much less mess, much more effective, and the whole contraption fits in a sandwich-sized zip lock baggie for touring. Here's a better description. This product is not it exactly, but it's quite close. Now, I don't use any of that stuff, even though the GTS has a chain. I've got a ScottOiler, which dispenses a small amount (~2 drops/minute) of light oil (in this case Dextron II ATF fluid) on the chain when the engine is running. Instead of going through a "clean/apply sticky lube/collect dirt/have dirt & lube act as a lapping paste and wear out the chain/clean" cycle, I just add about 500CC of ATF fluid every 3~4000 miles. The oil keeps the chain lubricated and literally washes away solid particles. When adjusted properly, the "fling" mess is about the same as chain lube. My chain has about 23K miles on it, and is about 1/3 of "adjusted" on the swingarm. At this rate, I expect to get ~35K out of the chain (and yes, I know that the wear isn't linear). The cost of the ScottOiler? The touring kit (with the larger reservoir) goes for about the cost of 15 large spray cans of WD40 and Chain Wax, or about 2/3 the price of a chain & sprockets, not counting labor. => second question: I still have spots of rust on the chain...so how the hell => do I get those off? I swear I scrubbed as hard as I could. Any and all => information or tips would be appreciated! Thanks! :-) Sometime's I've seen rust spots, particularly if the bike hasn't been ridden for many days and it's wet. I usually just ignore them, knowing that the mechanical motion of riding will loosen them, and once the chain warms up and dries thoroughly, the lube will encapsulate the rust. => => Laura Granato => '99 Suzuki GS500 => => -- Mark Bergman Biker, IATSE #1 Stagehand, Rock Climber, Unix mechanic '94 Yamaha GTS1000A bergman@XXXXXX I want a newsgroup with a infinite S/N ratio!

Hasn't this issue been hashed out enough in Usenet, on the VFR list, and on this list Bill? WD-40 does not attack the O-Rings. It will allow surface rust if you don't ride often or lube ever ~400 miles or so though.

So, heat the chain up with my hair dryer (just kidding!), anyways...heat the chain up as I was told to, went the WD-40 route....sprayed it on putting a rag behind it as not to spray anything else...grabbed the only scrubbing thing I had around, a new toothbrush, and scrubbed away at it. Let it sit for a little while. Then washed it off with a damp rag. So, first question: was that the correct method??? second question: I still have spots of rust on the chain...so how the hell do I get those off? I swear I scrubbed as hard as I could. Any and all information or tips would be appreciated! Thanks! :-) Laura Granato '99 Suzuki GS500 _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Way better than WD-40. I used all the *right* stuff on my o-ring and it went belly up in 12K. Said fug this and replaced it with a regular chain. Used CRC and CRC chain lube and basic 90 weight and it lasted longer than the o-ring, as did the couple standard chains after that one. The real answer, of course, is BELT DRIVE!!! Yahoo!

Don't know... but I do know that they know what they're doing. They're not a "coleman hire a kid, to turn a wrench type of operation". They build and race bikes. It's a family thing. brothers, sons, nephews, uncles, etc. Right now the man in charge is Mouse (dion) and he has his uncle working as a mechanic.. he's an older gentleman so it trips me out to see him hop on a dirtbike and take it for a test ride. hehe. Their adventures of late have been throwing nobbies on street bikes and running the dirt 1/4 mile... talking about 8 second 1/4 mile races in the dirt! (dunno if they said that was THEIR time, but they were saying those are the type of times achievable). It sounds scary to me! also talked about running banshee's with wheelie bars (up in the dirt?) that can hang in the 1/4 mile with XX blackbirds. I think currently they are building one with wheelie bars and a gsxr 750 engine in it. We'll probably bring it to the showroom for display. As of late they've been into dirt bike racing. Everyone is invited to come by and talk about bikes or racing.. I can guarantee you it's entertaining. I recall dion saying he has a 1.1 60' time.. my first and only run on the track was a 1.6. (dunno why i felt compelled to say that) We also intend on getting an account with tucker-rocky and whoever else, and definitely sell parts cheaper than the local big boys. Also we dont' call ourselves a motorcycle shop.. we're a motorcycle company. We want to get into manufacturing parts.. and 5 to 10 years down the road have a whole bike product out there. (he has some experience in it already). The budget is tight right now that we are just opening up.. but he (the man in charge, chief of operations, mouse, aka Dion) is looking to work out arrangements with racers in some type of sponsorship... in exchange for...........? but right now, we're an all service type of operation, trying to raise funds for our future goals.

Career opportunities.. with potential.. Not be employed at mouse trap but own a part of mouse trap racing.. and when I say own, that doesn't exactly mean you have to invest in it. Putting your own finances into it is optional. When I first met with him, he was selling the dream.. but not for me to invest money (no way I would).. he just wants investment with your endeavor. If what you bring to the table can help mouse trap racing, you come on board and get a piece of the pie (or at least the potential), and in the meanwhile you still get a salary and mouse trap racing makes money and gets closer to it's goals. Or if you really like what you see, I'm guessing you can pay a percentage of the expected bills for a period of time and get an agree ed percentage for the company.. that'll have to be your negotiations. Personally I'll make money for mouse trap racing, and they'll pay me a salary, give me a xmas bonus, and in writing a small share of the company. I say if you would love to open a shop, then you might fit right in with the team, and that you should talk to Dion. At first Jay and I were talking about opening a shop... and we held off on it until we could raise some capital. In the mean time, Dion sent me an email of positions open at mouse trap racing. I stopped by, asked what the salary was for parts manager. His numbers sounded good, we set up a meeting, and now i'm on board. Since I was on board and I know the type of person Jay is, I knew he'd fit right in too, and I had a meeting with Dion and Jay set up, and Jay is on board too. If you want to come on board, all the better. More hands on the work load gets the job done. The Job has great benefits, and the company sets goals. We have meetings every monday and thursday after work to work on our agendas. And by the way, Dion can explain everything a lot more clearly and thoroughly that I just did.

Maybe so, but WD-40 is also a penetrating agent. The x-type o-rings used on the rollers are an excellent little peice of engineering. The purpose is to contain a preloaded amount of lubricant onto the pins. I don't know for certain that WD-40 can not penetrate these rings and wash that lube away. Would you spray it on your roller bearings? All that being said, I am guilty of using it to clean my chain. I don't do it any more because I think it was a direct cause of my chains kinking at around 15000miles. I use kerosene now, get a better clean and the chain runs smooth. Just IMO and FYI. Your call.

Not even close. Kerosene in a petroleum distillate, WD-40 is a Water Dispersant (and the 40th formula that was tried - not much imagination in the product name) designed to flush water from things and leave a non-corrosive coating behind. The fact that it appears to be a light, short term lubricant is a bonus. Michael J.

She raced on Sunday and completed her first race and beat a few boys/men. This weekend at Nelson Ledges she completed he second race and got her permanent license. Jessica lives in Morgantown, WV. but received the support (and racebike) to facilitate her acquiring a license from the Upper Marlboro Chapter of DC Cycles Racing, namely Brad Fass. She received logistics support (and pep talks) from the other 2 members of the Upper Marlboro Chapter (Leonard and I). So, DC Cycles Racing has a female racer. Kind of unusual and makes our tawdry pits (when Brian isn't around with his WSB setup) very popular. Brian, has won everything he can so he didn't show up at Nelson's. After racing there, I can see why. Most of the DC Cycles racer's have met Jessica but not the general list, so I think you should congratulate her, she is a very brave girl. Laura G., who indicated to me that she was interested in racing should chat with her offlist to get a female perspective on getting a license. You should also give Brad a pat on the back for not having the female driver/rider prejudice. LOL BTW, if anyone on the list is interested in buying Jessica's 99 F4, I think she wants to sell it to buy Brad's FZR-400 racebike (since Brad has upgraded to an SV). Give her a buzz. I think the sales pitch is "never down, ridden by a girl".

I've got a Motoport one piece rainsuit that I picked up from Coleman Powersport (Impulse buy.) Has an exterior shell of 60% polyurethane and 40% nylon...and an inner lining of 100% nylon. Like Hork/Shaggy mentioned it can get so damn hot in the rainsuit that you WISH it would rain. I'm just gonna call it my "sauna suit" from now on. Feels fine in the rain though...but you're still gonna sweat. Coleman was very low on rain gear inventory when I stopped in last week.

But it seems like somebody else didn't like my price and picked it up with a five finger discount. I find it annoying to have lost the bike and still be stuck with the helmets and accessories. All these will remain in the house so they can't come back for seconds. But if interested, I still have a new red RF800 I will part with for 125, a white Phillips Lochart center stand I would like to get 50 for and a magnetic tank bag for 75.

It's been really excellent. No doubt it's convenient, and I'll make use of it, too. But I really wonder if renewing drivers licenses w/o ANY review by the DMV is a good thing. Someone could be blind, deaf and paralyzed and still renew their license over the 'net. Personally, I think it should be a lot HARDER to get and renew a driver's license, not easier.
