Unless they have been taught to "neck rein". Then the left rein is brought
to bear on the left side of horse's neck to go right. | rec.motorcycles |

: The next question is how shall I carry the thing on the bike, given
: the metal frame and all. I have a big backrest (approx 12" high) and
: was hoping that I would be able to bungee cord the backpack to the backrest.
: Any one have any experiences on such experimentation?
Put the pack on the pillion and bungee it to the backrest.
If that is not possible then you should be able to bungee it behind the
backrest, just make sure it doesn't bend or break anything like the rear
fender or turnsignals.

Anyone,
I am a serious motorcycle enthusiast without a motorcycle, and to
put it bluntly, it sucks. I really would like some advice on what would
be a good starter bike for me. I do know one thing however, I need to
make my first bike a good one, because buying a second any time soon is
out of the question. I am specifically interested in racing bikes, (CBR
600 F2, GSX-R 750). I know that this may sound kind of crazy
considering that I've never had a bike before, but I am responsible, a
fast learner, and in love. Please give me any advice that you think
would help me in my search, including places to look or even specific
bikes that you want to sell me.
Thanks :-) | rec.motorcycles |
Alright, beat this automobile sighting.
Driving along just a hair north of Atlanta, I noticed an old, run down
former car dealership which appeared to deal with, and repair, older
rare or exotic foreign sports cars. I saw:
Ford GT-40 (!), the famous model from Ford, that seemed to win most of
its races in the late 60s, including Le-Mans 4 or 6 times.
Two Jensen Interceptors, one a convertable, one a hatchback?
Porsche 911 (boring compared to the rest)
THREE Ferarries, a Mondial, a 308 prepared for racing, and a red 60s model
that I couldn't identify.
And at the bottom, a late 70s MG convertable.
Outside there was a rotting Rover 3500 saloon, which was never regularly
sold in the U.S.
And in the showroom, there was a small italian body, either an Alpha Romeo
or a Lancia. It was about the size of an Austin Mini.
The trunklid was missing, exposing a boot with a voltage regulator
in the upper left corner of the wall, and a chunk of metal removed from
the floor on the right hand side as if something would leave the trunk
and go to the outside from here.
The taillights looked like they
would be the round type (if they were there). Does anyone know what the
make of this one is?
Certainly made my day... | rec.autos |
Anyone around here read this yet?
Does Anita have a number?

1st round:
----------
PITT vs NYI: PITT in 4.
It looks like a safe bet. NYI has been bagging it of late.
NYI and NJD have a showdown Friday night for the honour
of Pittsburg anyway. Pigsburg in 4.
WASH vs NJD: WASH in 6.
I think that NJD have a solid team and will compete with
WASH. I agree though with WASH in 6.
BOS vs BUF: BOS in 5.
The B's have been playing awesome hockey in the last
two weeks. The only question is how long will it last?
Fuhr is a dud. BOS in 4.
QUE vs MON: MON in 7.
It seems to me that MON is much like the VAN - no chemistry.
The Habs seem to be not in stride. QUE in 5.
CHI vs STL: CHI in 4.
STL should not be in the playoffs. CHI in 4.
DET vs TOR: DET in 6.
I am a diehard Leaf fan but ... It seems that the Leafs
offense is shutting down in the last week. Can they
turn it around against Detroit. As I recall, the last
couple of time these two teams met, the Leafs were pummelled.
I don't know if Bobbie is allowed in Canada yet. If he is,
DET in 5. If not, DET in 6.
VAN vs WIN: WIN in 6.
Upset in the making here. Another team with bad chemistry.
There is something gone foul among Linden, Momesso and Bure.
WIN in 6.
CAL vs LA: CAL in 5.
Anybody that says that LA could possibly beet CAL does
not watch the Smythe a whole lot. LA is a bunch of Geritols.
CAL in 4.
2nd round:
----------
PITT vs WASH: PITT in 4.
It seems to me that Pigsburg has some egos on their team. Their
saving grace though is Bowman. He can put anybody in their place.
However, if PIGS have a quick first round, they may be a little
too high. WASH could be there for a surprise. Having said that,
I will say PITT in 6.
BOS vs MON: BOS in 6.
MON will not be there. BOS is surprising me of late. Cam is great.
The couple of wins against QUE last week have sold me with the
B's. B's in 6.
CHI vs DET: CHI in 7.
Yikes. This will not be pretty. But DET is running like a machine
of late. They've had a non-busy end of the season in which they played
like killers. DET in 6.
WIN vs CAL: CAL in 5.
CAL has a solid team, a little weak in the nets. CAL will out
muscle WIN. CAL in 5.
3rd round:
----------
PITT vs BOS: PITT in 5.
I hate PITT. My logic eludes me. The dark side will take over
and give BOS the extra push it needs to dump PITT. There may
be something to this - if you think of the rivalry. BOS in 7.
CHI vs CAL: CHI in 5.
Finals:
------
PITT vs CHI: PITT in 5.
NO, no, no. We have BOS vs DET. I don't know what to say
here. Both teams will be flying and overdue. I will go
with goaltending and muscle and say DET in 7.

With the kind of team Montreal has now, they can take the
cup easily. The only problem they have right now is that everyone is
trying to steal the show and play alone. They need some massive teamwork.
They are also in a little of a slump because long-time hockey
Montreal Canadiens announcer Claude Mouton died last tuesday and it was
rough on everybody because he has worked with the organization for 21
years. But I know that is no excuse. But if the Habs manage to get some
good teamwork and get into the spirit, they should have no problem
winning in May. | rec.sport.hockey |

Don't just nab it, POUNCE on it. These are fairly rare bikes, and
they are MORE than adequate for putting a big brown stripe in your shorts.
Does a 50mph power wheelie appeal to you? I thought it would...
Only really bad things: the stock clutch isn't up to the task.
Barnett can take care of this. The back tire wears quickly (gee, wonder why?),
and the induction system is a bear to work on.

I have owned my Sprint from the beginning and that sensor light comes on every
30K to let you know it's time for a check up. When that light goes on, I just
take it to the delaer tell them "It's that time" and they work on it for 4 hou
and you pay $5 for parts and $100 for labor. (Ahh...what they get for labor)
I currently have about 95K on my Sprint and of all the times I took it in for
service, I never say on the payment sheet anything about the replacement of the
Oxygen sensor. What the heck is an Oxygen sensor? As far an I know of, I have
never had that thing replaced in my car and the car is purring like a kitten.
Now, I don't have a/c (Mother Nature does that for me :-) ) and that might have
something to do with it, but I still never heard of an Oxygen sensor. The only
MAJOR service job I have had on my car (besides getting the tires replaced
if you want to call that a service job) was getting the Rotor, Distributor and
Gasket replaced. And that was all done within the past 2 months.
What I do at 30K is have a good tune-up, let them replace what ever they need
to, pay the bill (about $125) and go home and don't worry about the car for
another 30K. Oh, I just remembered something. If that little sensor light
bothers you, in the fuse box right below the turn-signal lever up against
the dash, there is a swith on the right side. Flip that switch and the light
will go off. I do that so that little light won't annoy me. If you can't
find it, look it up in the car manuel. I hope that I have helped a little
and good luck with the _Oxygen sensor_?

The New York talk shows are just awful in this regard. People are constantly
calling WFAN and WABC with (stuff like) "I was thinking, why don't the Yankees
trade Kaminicki and Silvestri to Seattle for Ken Griffey Jr and Randy Johnson,
that would really help the team" or "Do you think the Yankees can get Roger
Clemens?". The show hosts are pretty good about handling these guys, but it's
still annoying.
The best one was at the end of one show, a caller started out with "I was
thinking, why don't the Yankees trade for..." and then the host hung up on
him. I cheered! | rec.sport.baseball |
Insurance companies sure seem to go for No-Fault coverage. Since the
majority of accidents are the cagers' fault, doesn't this imply that we
would have to pay much higher rates under a No-Fault system?
With a cars-only system, it seems to make sense on the surface: take the
legal costs out of the system. But it looks like motorcyclists would
get screwed.

An effort was made to remove the sticker. It came to pieces, leaving
most of it firmly attached to the window. It was dark, and around
10:00 pm. The sticker (before being mangled in an ineffective attempt
to be torn off) warned the car would be towed if not removed. A
"reasonable person" would arguably have driven the car. Had an
accident occured, I don't think my friend's attorney would have much
trouble fixing blame on the apartment mangement.
As a practical matter, even without a conviction, the cost and
inconvenience of defending against the suit would be considerable.
As a moral matter, it was a pretty fucking stupid thing to do for so
paltry a violation as parking without an authorization sticker (BTW, it
wasn't "somebody's" spot, it was resident-only, but unassigned,
parking).

Why not? Brooks Robinson is a defensive liability too, and Ted
Williams is a weak hitter. Even great players decline as they age. | rec.sport.baseball |
Let's start over. I'm not arguing about who is the better goaltender. I'd
take Soderstrom right now. What I am saying is that Roussel can be a #1
netminder. The GAA difference is less than half a goal per game (less than
that after last night), their save percentages are close, and their records
are similar. And with that, I just don't see how you can label Roussel as
the most disappointing player on the Flyers this season.
You say Soderstrom played against better competition. That may very well
be, but there is no way of knowing how Roussel would have performed in
those games. Besides, against the better scoring teams like Pittsburgh,
the defense is more keyed up than they are against San Jose.
But I'm not just judging Roussel on that game alone. I've seen him play
for the past two seasons in Philly and before that in Hershey. It's just
my opinion, but I think he's got what it takes. Of course, I thought that
about Mark LaForest, too. But I never did about Wendell Young. So I'm
batting .500 in judging Hershey talent since the Hextall-era.
As for the Rangers game, you can say he was saved by a mistake by the
offensive player if you like. But Rou had his leg in position to make the
save. If he didn't, it wouldn't have mattered if the Rangers player didn't
get the puck up or not. It would have been a goal. On a breakaway that's
what the goalie wants to do, take away as much as possible and force the
shooter to beat him.
I seem to remember Roussel doing an excellent job against Pittsurgh on
opening night to give the Flyers a tie against the two-time defending
champs. And not to take anything away from Soderstrom because he was
senational in that game agains the Habs. But you can't tell me that a
Montreal player had an open net to shoot at some point during that game
and just flat out missed it. Mistakes, both on offense and defense are
part of the game. Or there'd never be shutouts.
Anyway, I'm happy the Flyers have both Soderstrom and Roussel and
I'm not going to argue about it anymore. Besides, with the current
7-game winning streak and expectations soaring for next year, I
don't want to piss you off to the point that you don't sell me any
tickets next season:-). | rec.sport.hockey |

I have been looking at buying a 1989 Jeep Laredo and was wondering
if anyone had any bad or good experiences with this model. Is it
all that much different than the other YJs?

This morning a truck that had been within my sight (and I within
his) for about 3 miles suddenly forgot that I existed and pulled
over right on me -- my front wheel was about even with the back
edge of his front passenger door as I was accelerating past him.
It was trivial enough for me to tap the brakes and slide behind him
as he slewed over (with no signal, of course) on top of me, with
my little horn blaring (damn, I need Fiamms!), but the satisfaction
of being aware of my surroundings and thus surviving was not enough,
especially when I later pulled up alongside the bastard and he made
no apologetic wave or anything.
Is there some way that I can memorize the license plate of an
offending vehicle and get the name and address of the owner?
I'm not going to firebomb houses or anything, I'd just like to
write a consciousness-raising letter or two. I think that it would
be good for BDI cagers to know that We Know Where They Live.

'Pitching is 44% of Baseball,' implying that fielding is 6%. How do
they determine that? Beats me -- it's been a long, long time since I
read it.
One also has to separate offense into batting and baserunning, with the
split probably somewhere around 49.5% and 0.5%.

Well, the Patrick Division got a little more interesting last night.
The Islanders lost in OT and the Devils tied the Pens. That means if the Isles
beat the Devils on Friday, the will meet the Caps in the playoffs.
However, I have some more comments on the Islanders and hockey in
general that I need to get off my chest :). First of all, with the Islanders
back-to-back lackluster performances against the Whalers, one may think that
the Islanders are out of shape. These guys always suck wind in the 2nd period,
come on a little in the 3rd and run out of gas too soon. It is unbelieveable
how many one goal games these guys have lost. Anyway, the games was pretty
wide open. The Isles still have tons of trouble scoring. The Whalers played
a golie in is 1st NHL start, I think his name was Lenarduzzi (sp?). (His NHL
debut was the Tuesday tie against the Isles). Like I mentioned before, this
guy looked like the best golie on the planet for a while (until he misplayed a
Mahlakov slap shot to go to OT). I say it's because the Isles don't shoot
correctly. Has anyone else noticed this?
Also, I think it is really a shame for hockey when I guy like Mick
Vukota gets as much ice time as he does. This guy has about as much hockey
talent as Jiggs MacDonald (who did play hockey, I think). Anytime he gets the
puck it gets stolen, and he always starts fights and gets needless penalties.
Richard Pilon is another guy who is on the ice to stir up crap. And he's a
defenseman. He's got to be approaching negative infinity for his plus/minus.
This guy gets beaten all the time. Why the need for such "enforcers"? Not
only do fights slow the game down ALOT, but it takes away from the guys who are
really trying to play the game. I'll be one of the few to admit, I do enjoy a
good fight once in a while, but only when it's "called for". You know, when a
guy checks the goalie too hard. In other words, a violation of "hockey ethics"
might cause you to get puched. But there is no need to start crap when you are
losing or becuase you can get away with it!! Does anyone agree that referees
need to be a little less lenient in the 3rd and OT? I mean COME ON already.
I'm sick of seeing teams pulling guys down, holding guys etc. just becuase the
referee doesn't call it. OT and late in the 3rd should be a time for strategy,
not physical prowess. Trying to set up a goal should be first and foremost.
If you are so afraid that the other team is going to score that you have to
pull a guy down to prevent it, you don't deserve to win in the first place.
Just My Honest Opinion, | rec.sport.hockey |
From where I come from in Canada, Borshevsky sounds more Canadian than
Smith! -)
Anyways, crawl back into the hole you crawled out of...the NBA doesn't
care where they get basketball players from, major league baseball
doesn't give a damn where they get baseball players from (except Cuba,
that is).
Canada is in no imminent danger of being overtaken as the primary
supplier of players...Sweden, Finland, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia
are all relatively small countries, and cannot really produce players
at a greater rate than they are already producing them, and the
potential influx from the former Soviet Union is severely blunted
because the system has been raided and is starved for finances and
will take a decade or two, to recover and become a real threat, and
the US will just maintain its slow increase. Canada should continue
to supply 60% plus of the top hockey players in the world for the
forseeable future.
Besides we need the European hockey market if hockey is to take
its rightful place besides soccer as the two predominant world
sports...and since soccer is essentially boring, unlike hockey.
Canadians are under no threat...the European numbers will soon saturate,
if they haven't already...and by the time Russia comes online again,
the NHL should be a world league, and there will be many more teams
to stock and many more jobs for Canadian hockey players. In the near
team, the percentage of Canadians will mostly decline because of
Americans, not because of Europeans.
Crawl into a hole and die...

just to satiate my curiosity, why would this make you the stupid one? It seems
to me, everybody SHOULD be aware enough of what is going on. You do not need
to calculate the future position. You need to look at your mirrors a little
more. If you glance around, you will be able to tell how much faster than you
the car is going. Maybe not precisely, but well enough to know if you should
let him around before you try to pass. I know what you are talking about,
about the other driver being startled, because i myself have been startled
by drivers cruising by at around 90-100mph when i'm doin 55-65. The problem,
though, as i saw it, was not their fault for barreling around me, but my fault
for not paying the attention to my task-at-hand that i should have been.
Oddly enough, since the 2nd time(happened 2x in around 4 mo. when i'd had my
liscence for around 6 mo), i haven't been startled..and i've been passed by
cars doing roughly twice the speed of my car. Another odd occurance is the
fact that this only seems to happen on LONG trips...and if i drive along with
them, it doesn't happen at all :-) even on the long trips! :-) (adrenaline
will do that to you...i've had bad cop experiences with speeding, so anything
over the limit is adrenalizing for me...scared i'll get caught :-) Maybe
they should raise the limit, so we can pay better attention.....

being a mere female, I have often found I can't really take the big offensive line with asshole car drivers, so I found a more subtle and nastly
ooops I mean nasty way to get back at them. If somebody cuts you up, just wait till they have pulled out past you, and then gently lean over and
bend their aerial, every time I have done that it has eventually snapped
off near the base - which tends to go undetected for a while and is a bummer to replace.

I recently bought a pack of prospect hockey cards which had various

I was playing this golf game and something interesting happened.
On the 7th hole, I drove the ball down the fairway, when the ball was
in mid-flight, the game completely froze. A couple seconds later, the
screen went completely black, with an error message in large "Bubble"
letters that said DIVISION BY ZERO. I thought it was funny considering
I am a computer programmer, and I had never seen an error like this on
an actual video game system like Sega or Nintendo (or even Atari or
Intellevision years ago). Oh yeah, after the message, there was also
what must have been an address, in hexadecimal. I forget the exact hex
code that was given. HAS THIS HAPPENED TO ANYONE ELSE??? It must have,

has a lithium battery backup. The battery has a life of ~10 years of poweroff

They light the highways in Texas? Funny, everywhere else I've been
they only light 'em at junctions.
I won't even get into how much road markings vary between states and
localities except to say that there are some areas where markings are
essentially nonexistant.
I suspect you have very limited experience -- US freeways vary
dramatically, particularly between states. I can name a number of
interstate highways in various parts of the country where 130 would be
very optimistic in any car.
I'm not sure what you call "quite severe" in terms of road deviations
but I suspect every single bridge junction on I84 through CT would be
considered so. They're hard to take at 85mph. That's not the only
interstate I've seen with such deviations, but it's one I drive
frequently.
Texas is pretty much an edge-case -- you can't assume that everywhere
has roads in such good condition, such flat terrain, and such
wide-open spaces. It just ain't so. | rec.autos |

Splitfires work mainly by providing a more-or-less unshrouded spark to the
combustion chamber. If an engine's cylinder head design can benefit from this,
then the splitfires will yield a slight performance increase, most noticeably
in lower rpm range torque. Splitfires didn't do diddly-squat for my 1992 GMC
pickup (4.3l V6) but do give a noticeable performance boost in my 1991 Harley
Sportster 1200 and my best friend's 1986 Sportster 883. Folks I know who've
tried them in 1340 Evo motors can't tell any performance boost over plain
plugs (which is interesting since the XLH and big twin EVO combustion chambers
are pretty much the same shape, just different sizes). Two of my friends who
have shovelhead Harleys swear by the splitfires but if I had a shovelhead,
I'd dual-plug it instead since they respond well enough to dual plugs to make
the machine work and extra ignition system worth the expense (plus they look
really cool with a spark plug on each side of each head) | rec.motorcycles |

Actually, what I think has become more evident, is that you are determined to
flaunt your ignorance at all cost. Jagr did not have a better season than
Francis ... to suggest otherwise is an insult to those with a modicum of
hockey knowledge. Save your almost maniacal devotion to the almighty
plus/minus ... it is the most misleading hockey stat available.
Until the NHL publishes a more useful quantifiable statistic including ice
time per game and some measure of its "quality" (i.e., is the player put out
in key situations like protecting a lead late in the game; is he matched up
against the other team's top one or two lines; short-handed, etc), I would
much rather see the +/- disappear altogether instead of having its dubious
merits trumpeted by those with little understanding of its implications.

You might want to clarify the 11 game winning streak. That Pens streak
is a PLAYOFF streak (tied by the Chicago Blackhawks, who had won 11 in a row
until they met the Pens in the finals last year) The 18 game unbeaten, so far,
is a regular season unbeaten streak. But hey, don't take it personally. I'm a
Flyers fan and two in a row is a stretch. But with a healthy Lindros, Recchi,
Brind'amour and Tommy Soderstrom, they'll be there next year!
By the way, since the Flyers need defenseman, what kind of trade would
anybody suggest from the existing Flyers roster since the scuttlebutt is that
Terry Carkner won't be there next year and apart from him a piece of notebook

Well, after suffering from an intense fit of Minnesota-induced cabin fever,
I've decided to road trip to Milwaukee and take in a couple of games this
weekend. A couple games at County stadium will be great to relieve tension,
but I thought "Why not go to Wrigley for a game too?"
I see the Cubs are playing the Phillies on Sat (2:05 start, I believe
that's Eastern time listed). I figured it would be fun to bounce down to
Wrigley for the day game and live it up a little. I'm wondering if anyone
(esp. Cubbie fans) have some advice on:
1) If I'm taking 41 (Skokie Hwy) south until it runs into 94, what's the
best way to get to Wrigley? I'm planning on getting there an hour or
two early and paying through the nose for parking to keep things easy.
2) Is it probable that I'll be able to walk up and get bleacher seats (2 or
3) on game day? I figure since it's early in the year, Ryno's out and
the weather isn't great I should be able to get tickets. If not, what's
the best way to get advance tickets; can I call the Cubs' ticket office
directly and pick up tickets at the will call window?
3) Any advice on where to eat before or after the game?
4) Do they allow inflatable I-luv-ewe dolls (present from Lundy) into the
bleachers? :-)

compete at the Div. 1 level. Was that ever resolved? Also, I was just

I don't know if you could call him rushed, but "Big" Ben McDonald didn't
much time at all in the minors. Of course that was because the balls used
in AAA had seams too large and gave McDonald blisters forcing him to go
on the DL several times. He's done most of his learning here in the majors.
Of course Gregg "Wild Thing" Olson and Mike "Deserved a Cy Young" Mussina
didn't spend much time in the minors either. I read somewhere that pitchers
are less likely to need that much time in the minors anyway so maybe that
has something to do with it.

doors & windows, seats, seat belts, interior, instrument
panel), and ELECTRICAL (engine electrical system, body
electrical system, wiring diagram, and trouble-shooting).
These are the genuine Subaru issue manuals. They are for
model year 1986, but have plenty of good information that
applies to other years as well.

Solar enlarger (several objective lenses) with easel and
timer, negative carriers for 35mm and 2 1/4 x 3 1/4, misc.
printing masks. Developing tanks, thermometer, trays,
constant-temperature bath, ground glass, mirrors, darkroom
lamps, glassware, el-cheap-o tripods..... and (as they say)
MUCH MORE!
o Beautiful Antique Buffet ............................... $1500.00
Solid cherry (no veneer). Handmade, with very interesting
dovetail corners in the drawers. Built (we think) around
1880. Not gaudy or covered with gew-gaws; a simple, elegant
piece of furniture, but too big (60" long, 37" tall, 24"
deep) for our little Cape Cod house.
Will deliver pricier items (ie, over $10) anywhere in the Rochester
area. (And will consider delivering the others.) Will deliver any
of it on UofR Campus between now and graduation. | rec.autos |

For the last three years, the highest DAs in either league have been posted
by Minnesota players -- three different ones, including one (Pags) who was
mediocre to horrible elsewhere. That doesn't *prove* a park effect is at
work, any more than San Diego's horrible infield numbers prove a park effect
is at work. But it looks like a strong possibility to me.

And it might even be a nice play to thrid base.

Chris Chelios was Montreal's co-captain with Guy Carbonneau when he was traded to Chicago for Denis Savard, and Peter Stastny was captain of the Quebec Nordiques when he was traded to New-Jersey. Also Mark Messier was captain of the Edmonton Oilers when he was traded to New-York. How about Dale Hawerchuk with Winnipeg when he was traded to Buffalo, was he captain too ? I think so. I should not forget Wayne (you know who) when he was traded to L.A. he was captain. Didn't they strip Wendel Clark of his capta
incy in Toronto ?
Just some updates and thoughts.

Being a proud BU alumnus, I'd like to get a list of BU players in
the NHL so I can keep an eye on their progress. A lot of Terriers are
graduating this year so I hope to see them soon in the NHL. If somebody
could post or send me a list, I'd appreciate it. Please note if the player
graduated from here or not.

Aargh!
Paul Stewart is the worst and most biased ref. presently in the NHL.
He called a total of 4 penalties on the Habs and one on the Nordiques.
The Nords' penalty came in O.T. Stewart, being an ex-Nordique himself,
was looking to call penalties on the Habs while letting the Nords
get away with murder...WE WAS ROBBED!!!!
It was an excellent game with plenty of end-to-end rushes and tremendous
goalkeeping. The Nords tied it with over 1 minute to go while Lebeau
was serving a penalty. I don't mind Stewart calling a penalty in the
last 5 min. of the game, but AT LEAST BE FAIR ABOUT IT. The Nords were
caught with their hand in the cookie jar more than once. Stewart turned
the other cheek...BASTARD!
Patrick Roy collapsed after letting in the tieing goal. He was shaky and
on his knees for the rest of the night. The winning goal shouldn't have
gone in.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming the loss on Stewart. The Habs had
plenty of chances to capitalize, Muller, LeClair, Haller, etc. but
failed to put the puck in the net. That's what did them in. But
Mr. Stewart didn't help matters at all.
Oh well, at least the Bruins lost in O.T. also Ha, Ha!!--)

} The roar at Michigan and Trumbull should be loader than ever this year. With
} Mike Illitch at the head and Ernie Harwell back at the booth, the tiger bats
} will bang this summer. Already they have scored 20 runs in two games and with

nice woofing (or should i say meowing?).
and yes, the Tiggers are a fun, exciting team that i would pay to see.
but last year, they went 75-87. this year, their offense is essentially
the same, and their pitching is, at best, essentially the same. so why
do you think they will suddenly improve to win the 92 or so games which will
be required to win the A.L. East? what has changed that i don't see?
remember, a 20-4 win is worth as much in the standings as a 3-2 win... | rec.sport.baseball |

As I won't be able to make the Joust this summer (Job related time
conflict :'^{ ), I plan instead on going to the Rider Rally in
Knoxville.
I'll be leaving from Chicago. and generally plan on going down along
the Indiana/Illinois border into Kentucky and then Tennessee. I would
be very interested in hearing suggestions of roads/routes/areas that
you would consider "must ride" while on the way to Knoxville.
I can leave as early as 5/22 and need to arrive in Knoxville by 6PM
on 5/25. That leaves me a pretty good stretch of time to explore on
the way.
By the way if anyone else is going, and would like to partner for the
ride down, let me know. I'll be heading east afterward to visit family,
but sure don't mind company on the ride down to the Rally. Depending on
weather et al. my plan is motelling/tenting thru the trip.
From the Rally I'll be heading up the Blue Ridge Parkway, then jogging
into West Va (I-77) to run up 219 -> Marlington, 28 -> Petersburg,
55E -> I-81/I-66E. After this point the route is presently undetermined
into Pennsylvania, New York?, and back to Chicago (by 6/6). Suggestions
for these areas would be of great interest also.
Many thanks for your ideas,
Enjoy,

Were they palying football or baseball in Detroit on Saturday? From looking
at the school, some people may think it was football. Between two games this
week, the Tigers scored 40 runs!!!! The offense can carry them, I hope the
pitching will hold out. I was at Camden Yards yesterday, everytime I looked
up the score was getting higher. What a great site it was to see the Tigers
kicking butt while enjoying a game at Camden Yards. GO TIGERS AND GO TONY

About as good as Mussina's. better than Sutcliffe's and McDonald's
He's in the bullpen. Steinbrenner is in charge after all.
He's got the talent to be the 4th starter now, and evetually the ace.
He was a higher ranked (and generally better) prospect than Arthur
Rhodes who happens to be, well hey, the Oriole's 4th starter.
As for Militello, it's still early. | rec.sport.baseball |
Howdy,
I'm a little new to this newsgroup, but I would like to tap some of the
knowledge and expertise available here.
The Subject: After-market cruise controls
The Background:
I recently broke my ankle in a road-bicycling accident (4 places, five
screws, yuk! :-( ). In two weeks I will be returning to Texas (my
home) from my school (BYU) in Provo, Utah. As you can imagine, trying to
drive nearly 1300 miles with a broken right ankle isn't just the epitome of
a good time. My car does not have a cruise control, so I would have to do
all the pedalling (ha ha) with my messed-up ankle.
My question:
What is the general opinion of after-market cruise control units? I
realize that a cheap CC (cruise control) from, say, Pep Boys, isn't going to
be as good as a factory or professionally installed unit (if there is such a
thing). And I uderstand that I probably can't expect much in the way of
accuracy, looks and that sort of thing; But anything's gotta be better than
trying to drive with a hosed ankle.
I have a 1984 Jeep Cherokee, 4 speed, standard, 4*4, 2.5L engine with
kettering(sp?) ignition (y'know, distributor cap, rotor, that set-up--not
electronic. Maybe you could've guessed it being an '84, but I'm just trying
to give information as completly as I can).
I found a CC unit for 80 bucks. It seems to use the vehicles vacuum system
instead of an electric servor/motor. Is this good or bad? If I did buy
this CC, which vacuum hose should I tap?
It has two speed sensors: One magnetic, and one that gets a signal from the
negative side of the distributor, kinda like a tach pick-up, or so I
understand. I can use either one. Which is best? The manual says (I read
it in the store today) that the magnetic/axle set-up is more accurate, but
harder to install. Is there really a big difference?
It has a sensor for the brake pedal, just like other CCs, but does NOT have a
sensor for the clutch pedal. So if I wasn't paying real close attention I
might push the clutch in while the cruise is trying to get the speed up. Which
would wind the engine up kinda high until I got my wits about me and turned
the thing off. I'm pretty coordinated, so this doesn't bother me, if it
were for my girlfriends car, *then* it would bother me, but I'm ok with it.
The installation also calls for an attachment to a steady-on brake signal
and a switched-on brake signal. I think I can get a switched brake signal
from the correct side of the brake light blade fuse. Am I right? But I'm
not sure where to get the steady-on brake signal, or, for that matter, what
exactly it is? Any ideas as to what the manufaturer wants and where to get
it?
I think I can figure the other things out. Like how to hook-up the negative
side tach-type sensing gizmo and the cabin control unit, and the ground and
all that miscellaneous business. But I need a little help with:
1. Is it worth the money and safety risk (if any) for such a
device?
2. Is there any particularly good after-market CC?
3. Are "professionally" installed CCs signifacantly better and
worth the cabbage?
4. If the unit I saw (sorry, no manufacturer or model number, just
that it is at Pep Boy and its $80) is sufficient for my simple
needs, how do I get the thing installed properly (specifically,
the questions above)?
My father and I built a "Veep" (Volkswagen powered Jeep CJ-2A) when I was in
high school, so I consider myself fairly good with tools, electronics, and
cars. So the installation doesn't scare me. I just want to be certain that
I get the thing installed correctly as my Cherokee is just a wee bit more
complicated than my Veep. :-)
I appreciate your time in reading my post, and I would appreciate any
expertise or opinion anybody has on the subject. If you would like to share
some of your wisdom, please email as I don't get over this group very often
(but I check my mail all the time).
Again, thanks for any help anyone may have. | rec.autos |

Sixteen days I had put off test driving the Honda ST1100. Finally,
the 17th was a Saturday without much rain. In fact it cleared up,
became warm and sunny, and the wind died. About three weeks ago, I
took a long cool ride on the Hawk down to Cycles! 128 for a test ride.
They had sold, and delivered, the demo ST1100 about fifteen hours
before I arrived. And the demo VFR was bike-locked in the showroom --
surrounded by 150 other bikes, and not likely to move soon.
Today was different. There were even more bikes. 50 used dirt bikes,
50 used street bikes, 35 cars, and a big tent full of Outlandishly Fat
Touring Bikes With Trailers were all squeezed in the parking lot.
Some sort of fat bike convention. Shelly and Dave were running one
MSF course each, at the same time. One in the classroom and one on
the back lot. Plus, there was the usuall free cookout food that
Cycles! gives away every weekend in the summer. Hmmm, it seemed like
a big moto party.
After about ten minutes of looking for Rob C, cheif of sales slime,
and another 5 minutes reading and signing a long disclosure/libility/
pray-to-god form I helped JT push the ST out into the mess in the
parking lot. We went over the the controls, I put the tank bag from
the Hawk into the right saddlebag, and my wife put everything else
into the left saddlebag. ( Thats nice.... ) Having helped push the
ST out to the lot, I thought it best to have JT move it to the edge of
the road, away from the 100+ bikes and 100+ people. He rode it like a
bicycle! 'It cant be that heavy' I thought.
Well I was wrong. As I sat on the ST, both feet down, all I could
think was "big". Then I put one foot up. "Heavy" came to mind very
quickly. With Cindy on the back -- was she on the back? Hard to
tell with seat three times as large as a Hawk seat -- the bike seemed
nearly out of control just idling on the side of the road.
By 3000 rpm in second gear, all the weight seemed to dissappear. Even
on bike with 4.1 miles on the odometer, slippery new tires, and pads that
did not yet bite the disks, things seems smooth and sure. Cycles! is
on a section of 128 that few folks ever ride. About 30 miles north
of the computer concentration, about five miles north of where I95
splits away, 128 is a lighly travelled, two lane limited access
highway. It goes through heavily forested sections of Hamilton,
Manchester-by-the-Sea and Newbury on its way to Gloucester.
On its way there, it meets 133, a road that winds from the sea about
30 miles inland to Andover. On its way it goes through many
thoroughly New England spots. Perfect, if slow, sport touring sections.
Cindy has no difficulty with speed. 3rd gear, 4th gear, purring along
in top gear. This thing has less low rpm grunt that my Hawk. Lane
changes were a new experience. A big heft is required to move this
thing. Responds well though. No wallowing or complaint. Behind the
fairing it was fairly quiet, but the helmet buffeting was
non-trivial. Top gear car passing at 85mph was nearly effortless.
Smooth, smooth, smooth. Not sure what the v4 sound reminds me of,
but it is pleasant. If only the bars were not transmitting an endless
buzz.
The jump on to 133 caused me to be less than impressed with the
brakes. Its a down hill, reversing camber, twice-reversing radius,
decreasing radius turn. A real squeeze is needed on the front binder.
The section of 133 we were on was tight, but too urban. The ST works ok
in this section, but it shows its weight. We went by the clam shack
oft featured in "Spencer for Hire" -- a place where you could really
find "Spencer", his house was about 15 miles down 133. After putting
through traffic for a while, we turned and went back to 128.
About half way through the onramp, I yanked Cindy's wrist, our singal
for "hold on tight". Head check left, time to find redline. Second
gear gives a good shove. Third too. Fourth sees DoD speed with a
short shift into top. On the way to 133 we saw no cops and very light
traffic. Did not cross into DoD zone because the bike was too new.
Well, now it had 25 miles on it, so it was ok. Tried some high effort
lane changes, some wide sweeping turns. Time to wick it up? I went
until the buffeting was threating to pull us off the seat. And stayed
there. When I was comfortable with the wind and the steering,
I looked down to find an indicated 135mph. Not bad for 2-up touring.
Beverly comes fast at more than twice the posted limit. At the "get
off in a mile" sign, I rolled off the throttle and coasted. I wanted
to re-adjust to the coming slowness. It was a good idea: there were
several manhole-sized patches of sand on the exit ramp. Back to the
slow and heavy behavior. Cycles! is about a mile from 128. I could
see even more cars stacked up outside right when I got off. I managed
to thread the ST through the cars to the edge of the concrete pad
out front. Heavy. It took way too much effort for Cindy and I to put
the thing on the center stand. I am sure that if I used the side
stand the ST would have been on its side within a minute.
My demo opinion? Heavy. Put it on a diet. Smooth, comfortable,
hardly notices the DoD speed. I'd buy on for about $3000 less than
list, just like it is. Too much $ for the bike as it is. | rec.motorcycles |

Then allow me to enlighten you, Rex. You see, there's a thing called a tie.
A tie is worth one point (I know, I know. You're not good at math. But bear
with me). A win is worth two points. So, getting two ties is the same as
getting one win. If your team played two games, won one and lost one, you'd
have two points. If my team played two games and tied them both, we'd also
have two points. We'd be tied in the standings even though our records are
different.
Perhaps you should learn something about hockey before posting again. (I am
starting to sound like Roger or what?) | rec.sport.hockey |
Definitely!
Safety is an important criterium for me when buying a car. I won't buy a
small car like a Civic or whatever.
Great = Safety + Handling + Speed - for me
Seems to me that you would be more "dead" in a small car than a large car
after an accident. | rec.autos |
Re: Waving...
I must say, that the courtesy of a nod or a wave as I meet other bikers while
riding does a lot of good things to my mood... While riding is a lot of fun by
itself, there's something really special about having someone say to you "Hey,
it's a great day for a ride... Isn't it wonderful that we can spend some time
on the road on days like this..." with a gesture.
Was sunny today for the first time in a week, took my bike out for a spin down
to the local salvage yard/bike shop... ran into about 20 other people who were
down there for similar reasons (there's this GREAT stretch of road on the way
down there... no side streets, lotsa leaning bends... ;) ... Went on an
impromptu coffee and bullshit run down to puyallup with a batch of people who
I didn't know, but who were my kinda people nonetheless.
As a fellow commented to me while I was admiring his bike... "Hey, it's not
what you ride, it's that you ride... As long as it has 2 wheels and an engine
it's the same thing..."

Hello everyone. I'm new to motorcycles so no flames please. I don't
have my bike yet so I need a few pieces of information:
1) I only have about $1200-1300 to work with, so that would have
to cover everything (bike, helmet, anything else that I'm too
ignorant to know I need to buy)
2) What is buying a bike going to do to my insurance? I turn 18 in
about a month so my parents have been taking care of my insurance up
till now, and I need a comprehensive list of costs that buying a
motorcycle is going to insure (I live in Washington DC if that makes
a difference)
3) Any recommendations on what I should buy/where I should look for it?
4) In DC, as I imagine it is in every other state (OK, OK, we're not a
state - we're not bitter ;)), you take the written test first and then
get a learners permit. However, I'm wondering how one goes about
learning to ride the bike proficiently enough so as to a) get a liscence
and b) not kill oneself. I don't know anyone with a bike who could
teach me, and the most advice I've heard is either "do you live near a
field" or "do you have a friend with a pickup truck", the answers to both
of which are NO. Do I just ride around my neighborhood and hope for
the best? I kind of live in a residential area but it's not suburbs.
It's still the big city and I'm about a mile from downtown so that
doesn't seem too viable. Any stories on how you all learned?
Thanks for any replies in advance.

Sometimes a bad choke pull-off diaphram will cause a car to fast idle. The
pull-off, which is vacuum actuated, provides a necessary pull in non-cold
weather conditions to get the idle off the the fast idle cam. Locate the
fast idle cam on your vehicle and see if you can rotate it to produce a
normal idle. If so, locate the diaphram and test it. If you can't apply
suction (via a good piece of rubber vacuum hose) with your mouth that will
cause the diaphram to retract, then it's bad and should be replaced. | rec.autos |
Catcher is their weakest position, with the possible exception of second base.
They have a chance to simultaneously replace their biggest offensive problem
spot with a well-above-average offensive player *and* acclimate a highly
promising potential star with no pressure on him to carry the team, and they
want to play *Olson* and *Berryhill* instead?!
"A catcher's defensive reputation will be inversely proportional to his
recent offensive level of performance." Thus, Mickey Tettleton goes (in
the media) from being a no-hit defensive whiz to a slugging thumb-finger
in two short years. The rule doesn't apply to perceived "superstars", who
get the Gold Glove Offensive Transfer effect instead. Greg Olson is probably
considered to be a good defensive catcher precisely because he can't hit.
Aren't they the same thing?
Either that or just stupidity.
Of course.
One could make the same sort of argument in other cases. Pete Rose, in
pursuing Ty Cobb's record, was a huge gate attraction (and national media
magnet). The Reds made a lot of money off that; they also wasted the prime
of Eric Davis. That may be "good business", but that doesn't mean I don't
loathe them for it.
| rec.sport.baseball |
Actually, they're pretty worthless, if you want to evaluate players
with stats. RBIs and Runs Scored should be banned; all they do is
confuse victims of mediot brainwashing like yourself.
You
Uh, so?
You've just explained why we use OBP and SLG to evaluate players.
Precisely because the team that scores more runs wins the game.
Traditional baseball stats have gotten way too far away from methods
which enable fans to see who contributes to those runs scored - that's
where OBP, SLG, Runs Created, Linear Weights, etc. come in. These
simplify matters so that we can more easily measure a player's
offensive contribution to the team's runs scored.
Thank you for making our case. Have a nice day. | rec.sport.baseball |
