Hi folks --

Anyone know what/where Spencer will be riding next season?  I'm almost certain
he got a gp ride, but I can't remember if it was with Yamaha France, or Honda
or what.  

If you've got the answer, post it.  If you think you know who's going to win 
the championship next year, put that too! :)

	Well, It looks like I', not the only one who jumped the gun and
got a bike that was larger than 500 CC's. I purchased a used 700
Nighthawk S as my first bike...I have dropped it a couple times
with nothing but gas on the ground and a bent clutch lever...I can
pick it up and I like the size...Eventually I want to get something
newer with a large fairing and cowlings and stuff...but until I can
get over dropping my baby, I won't.                     
	I haven't felt like I have been out of my league on this bike.
I did take the MSF course on the little 250 Nighthawks, and after
playing around a little with my "large" (relatively) bike, I have
felt just as comfortable on it as in My 76 Monte Carlo...Since its
Used I don't cry when I drop it...
	Eventually I will move up to a FJ 1100, ST1100, GTS100 or a
	R100 B'mer...
 I feel that you can get your self into trouble even with a small
 bike...so I don't think that size is a major concern...

Agreed.  Consider it possible to kill someone who was riding a bicycle,

(How I got mine.)  Maybe I'm naive but I trust them and I've had NO PROBLEMS

approx $55 to much more (budget cuts) but I've heard from friends in Jersey

I think it's CYA, the stock hoses on my old '78 GS1000E are still fine.
The Suzuki mechanics I asked about it back in '81-82 agreed.

The courses are taught at various race tracks around the country.  You might

I have no personal experience with the class (but that never stops

heard street riders say it was great.  I've heard some racers say it
was valuable.  I've heard other racers say they take it just for the
time on the track, though they don't get much new out of it.  One

My KZ650 has over 30000 miles on it and I have never had a problem.  Doesn't 
use any oil either (I do ride it hard, doesn't seem to have hurt it).  I 
would say to have a good bike mechanic look it over.

	Hey, is that any relation to Black Death Malt Liquor,

Dr. Johnny Fever (of WKRP in Cincinnati) Black Death T-shirt and can 
tell me what the rest of the inscriptions are?  

	ObMoto:  Didja see the episode of the New WKRP wherein
Les thinks he has a terminal disease and little time to live,
so he decides to live out his fantasies and becomes a righteous
black leather Harley riding dude?  It was hilarious!  The
night-time deejay, Mona (fabulous babe to sort of replace Jennifer),
is also a biker and invites Les out for an evening.  Les then
learns that he is not about to die, and dejectedly assumes Mona
no longer wants to go on this sympathy date with him.  She assures
him she still does, and leaves Les in the lobby (!) with his 
Harley, trying desperately to kick-start it.  He can't and finally
has to get out the owner's manual to learn how.

Hey dude, is there anything wrong with the original number?  If not,
spend about $50 at one of the big machine tool places, get a
alphanumeric stamp set, and repunch your numbers.  

Then move to a different county, and register with a 'yeah it was
always like that' attitude.  You probably even still have the records
from before it was stolen to 'proove' such an assertion.   I know such
things have been done before.  If you need some good looking proof, 
like a stamped, riveted tag, buy blank stampable tags from someplace 
like Global Industrial, use the non-painted side, stamp, and apply 
with rivets or screws.  No petty official anywhere will know the
difference.

How do you think the crooks do it?

Guilty as charged. Ed Hertfelder should be required reading for anyone
that's thinking of getting into dirt riding. You can judge your progress
by periodically re-reading them. If The Dict Tapes start to get funnier,
sound more believable, or if you get the impression he's writing about
_you_, then you're mutating into a dirt biker.
