Semi-computer illiterate mechanical engineer finally has figured out how to
uudecode and Cshow a .gif on his very own PC. Now the server at cerritos 
tells me "file not found or this server cannot send this file" or some such
when I mail it "send[blain_perryshill.gif]" or "send[dod.blaine_perryshill.gif].

Could I please purchase a clue?


Have a happy, merry, all that rot. The pond and the weather look frozen this 
weekend - finally.

well, Im going skking after New Years and I'm currently getting rady for it.
I discovered the ski gloves I've used for the past about 4 years is too 
small, and I need a new one.  But, being poor (I can barely afford to pay for
rest of the ski trip expense, after it, I'll be completely broke!) I
would be happier if I could avoid buying a new pair of gloves.

So here is what I thought.  I have these pair of Difi Gortex winter 
golves for motorctylces.  It's pretty well padded and the Gortex
lining undre the leather supposedly gives 100% water resistence and the
leather is treated, so it supposedly does not get hard when itr get wet.
(That's why I can suposedly ride in rain and keep my hand dry and warm)
anyway, I was wondering if I could use my winter gloves for skiing.
I don't see any problem with it, but just in case there is something
I should know that I don't know about these gloves, Im asking.  :)

so what do ya think?  If this is a real bad idea for some reason, I could
always pull the credit card maneuver and buy a new ski glove, pay for it
later, but I want to avoid that id possible. :(

I've got my FZR600 stored away in my unheated garage.  I only had time
to remove the battery and seal the exhaust pipe this year.  I was wondering
what I can expect out of the bike during the Spring when I try and turn her
over.  It gets to be about -20C during the worst of the winter season, and
I don't have time to remove the fairings to properly store my baby.

Any suggestions or tips on storage without time to do much work?

	For all those interested, I have already given April a wonderful,
thoughtful, touching, warm, and fairly inexpensive gift.  It was not,
however, an engagement ring.  That will wait until I have graduated from
this hell-hole and obtained decent employment.  What the gift was is, quite
frankly, nobody else's business, but I will note that she was quite pleased.

	Additionally, I already have the rings purchased.  When the
sheepskin and the job offer arrive, she'll get her ring.  As I have said
before, she is certainly a keeper.

The FI on my K-Whiner used to sit out on the street overnight 9 months/year

It happened.  One year and 11 days after dumping my Katana,
I wreck my beautiful 91 VFR 750F.  That may sound like a 
lot of accidents but I ride *every* day.  I've put 20k miles
on my bikes since last year so accidents/mile isn't that bad,
is it?

What happened?  I'm not sure.  But, I was probably going too
fast for conditions (misty and cold).   I lose the front end
exiting from I440.  I end up on my ass and watch the bike
slide into a BMW cage (no kidding).  I ending up paying the yup $200
to shut up and let me be depressed.  I chipped a piece of the 
rubber bumber strip, about 1/4" square.  He gave me a big,
"Merry  Christmas" when I paid him.  Mechanically, the bike
is fine, but that brittle plastic is f**ked. 

Does anyone know where I can get cheap aftermarket/used plastic
for a '91 VFR750F?  I also need the headlight bucket.  Those 
enginerring ;-) wizards at Honda managed to find a way to make
a double headlight with all the aiming controls and reflectors and
glass a single non-repairable piece.  The local shop said it alone
was probably >$300.  I also need the front fairing/headlight bracket.
I tried to straighten it to no avail.  

If you can help, please e-mail me with info.  Thanks!

Oh, I know that - the thing can't get over 55mph up the Sunol grade with

YEAH!

I remember reading about a girl somwhere in the US putting rust-remover on 
the rivets in her jeans.  The rust-remover contained HF, and she did not 
wash her jeans afterwards.  She just put them on........
HF is bad in the way that you don't feel it eating it way through your 
flesh.  This girl had worn the pants for some hours when she started 
feeling some pain in her bottom.  By this time the fluorine had eaten its 
way right through to the bone... =:-0 

Well, I work with fluorine-containing chemicals every day, and as long as 
you are careful it's not that bad.  Firemen though have orders to take *
real* care if there might be some PTFE (teflon) burning. It develops HF.  On 
a modern bike though, very few of the parts are made with F-containing 
plastics.  When the bike is burnt out, there should be no risk in getting 
close to it 'cause all HF will be neutralized (remember it's one of the most 
oxidizing agents we know..). A good advice though:
Never go near the *smoke* from a burning bike or car or whatever!!! 

BTW, I wonder what happens when teflon-containing oil (SLICK50) burns? 
     -Suspicion: HF-develops??, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

]The Battleaxe is super rounded - when you lean over the

I've read this about the ax's, I'm running michelins right now,
and they are lacking in this respect comapred to the sportmax's.
they've lasted just short of 8k miles, a bit too long for my
taste...

]The tread design looks like it would be pretty scary in

screw the rain, I'll get the bike straight up and let the ABS
take it from there :-)  I commute yearround rain or shine but I
really don't care about wet road performance. when I get on
a nice dry road I want those suckers to stick.

]Even the street compound is fairly soft - 
]I'm guessing 4,000 miles is all you can hope for.

I've run through sportmax's before on the average of 5-6k miles
more than adequate in my book. I don't mind popping for new
rubber that often.

]With either tire I'd consider getting a race compound
]front and a street rear if you want lots of traction but
]don't want to go broke buying new tires.  

this is something I hadn't considered doing, have you run
such a combination before? it seems to make sense since I
usually go through the rear quite a bit faster...

]I've been using Sportmax's for the last few sets on my 
]Goof2, next set I think I'll re-evaluate what's available
]from Metzler for comparison.  The battleaxe's just don't 
]last long enough for my tastes on the street; the only
]way I'd get some is if I had a few track sessions coming
]up.

I'm very familiar with the sportmax's and know how they perform.
if the battleax's give a little bit more stick and are at least
in the ball park as far as longevity (4-6k ok) then I'll give 'em
a try...
