Subject: [dc-cycles]  What's up with Canal Road???


So as I do my thrice weekly commute to Bethesda from Arlington, I have
noticed a new LEO behavior.  Think rush hour heading westerly on Canal
road.  It is two lanes going out of the city.  Almost before you come up
on Arizona; there is a small pull in on the right side of the road.  In
this pull-in is  a police car facing in the same direction as traffic.
The hood is up and there appears to be only one officer.  Yesterday the
officer was ominously appeared to be chattering into the vehicle radio.
What gives?

The flow of traffic is such that stopping cars for speeding would be a
grave disruption.  Does anyone know if vehicles are being detained
further down Canal road, past the Chain bridge?

thanks.



Julian

Julian, they're probably running photo radar.

"Canal Road, NW (2/10 of a mile south of Arizona Avenue)" is listed as
an enforcement zone.

If you find extra lime green body parts, I could use a
side panel and a front fairing. I've got a black one
that needs a fairing, both side panels and a lower.

Issues?  Sometime in the mid 90's the valves got
hardened, so the newer engines last longer than the
older ones.  The most common engine failure is lack of
oil to the crankshaft.  Usage bordering on abuse can
cause that failure.  If they aren't used for a while
the carbs often need to be cleaned.  Float needles are
sensitive to dirt, they'll stick and allow fuel to
overflow from the carbs.
