well, francis no longer rides a GS.  he sold his bike to laurie

its still lopsided, by the way.  the tally stands at 15:13 FJ:GS.

Now there is a GOOD idea!  Paint balls.  Fairly cheap, too.
You can just throw them over your shoulder,  or REALLY have some fun:
use a paintball gun and the cager will think you're about to kill him! 
Even better, set the throttle lock, stand on the seat, turn around and
spray him with a paintball rifle.

The ABS FJ definately exists. I've seen several in the Boston area (at
dealers). If I can get them to come down on the $8,000 price, I'll be
riding one soon. ABS is nice, but it adds $1000 to the price of the bike.
Hell I got 4 wheels worth of ABS on my Saturn for $595 !

old.  It's got the BSA logo on the comb and pouch.  I guess it 
was to improve the appearance of the rider after a long day on

	I bought my Hawk GT one and a half month ago, it is a model 1988 and had only
1850 miles on it... runs really good (-:. It now has close to 2800 (under it I
think, since I did not take it to go to work this morning) and I'm still not
used to the bike and still keep it very safe (actually I want new tires before
trying to have more fun).

HELP!!!!  I thought I'd found the bike of my dreams, and then I found
out that some dork put "straight pipes" on it, and threw away the 
stock originals.

It's a1982 Virago 920, with only 6k miles on it, and the guy is 
asking $1200.  Great!  I'm ready to go.  Then I find out about the pipes.
According to the dealer, it'll cost $663.48 for the header pipes and 
mufflers if I want to go back to stock, plus about another $200
or so to re-jet the carbs!!!

Can this be so?  Is there a cheap alternative that I can use to 
keep the damn thing quiet on those long cruises?  Any thoughts or 
suggestions would be much appreciated.

I've owned a Hurricane 600, an RZ-350, a '90 ZX-7 with a Muzzy pipe, and I've
also ridden the GSXR-1100 of a friend of mine (a few times), and I've never
had an unintentional wheelie (I don't try for intentional ones either!)

Are there really bikes out there that will actually pull the front end up with
the clutch engaged and the throttle open?

People have told me stories about riding a bike (like a ZX-7 or GSXR750 with
a pipe) and "the front end just started coming up..."

I have always thought it was from not paying attention to the clutch or
snapping the throttle on/off/on.

What's the deal?  Is this just people with poor skills?

I can't vouch for his mileage, but my team-mate uses Michelin Hi-Sports, and
I've used the Avon AM-series.  My team-mate got ~1000 on the rear and maybe
~3000 miles on the front (in hard street riding), I think.  I had the Avons
for less than 100 miles on the track, and they felt greasy and useless
(still have plenty of tread though, and the rubber still feels soft...)

Certainly!  The bike you saw is a GPz750 Turbo.  Produced at the same time
as the last of the air-cooled GPz range (550, 750, 1100).  Each of the big
four had a turbo in the early '80s: CX500/650, a 650 each from Yamaha and
Suzuki and Kawasaki's 750.
The 750 Turbo was reputedly the best of the bunch.  It is easily to tell
the turbo from other GPz models; it has an alloy cross-member halfway
up the front of the fairing.  BTW it's an air-cooled, eight-valver with
K's monosock rear.
The usual stuff about UK/USA designations applies: GPz is the UK model,
can anybody tell me what this bike was called in the US?

Status report time.  Thanks for all the posts and email that I've 
received over the last couple of weeks.  I figured I'd post an initial 
spewage of opinions, to let you know what I'm aiming towards.  

It seems that I'm gravitating towards a two-bike garage.  I'm looking at late-60's 
British and Italian stuff, and will probably look very seriously at a Triumph TR6
(on the advice of Tim Keane, DoD #165, who I've found has recently been hiring Haitian
voodoo practitioners to dance the ritual European Bike Fascination dance over my shadow).
The TR6 would serve as a good initiation into vintage Euro-bikes, which I'm magically 
fascinated by.  That part of my bike dreamery is relatively stable.

The other part is not.  Although I haven't yet visited our local Ducati dealer to look 
at the 907s,  I'm concentrating mainly at the FJ, HD's FLHS(Electra Glide Sport, the low-end
dresser without a trunk and big ol' fairing), and the FXSTS (Springer Softtail).  All are 
great bikes, but all appeal to completely different parts of my heart and mind.  The last two
HD dealers I visited this weekend were sold out of everything, with a few bikes left on the 
floor waiting to be picked up.  I'll have to wait for a test ride till next fall.  The last
FJ dealer I dropped by was staffed by an ignorant asshole, who apparently just meandered 
into the bike room from the jet ski room for a break.  They had a single FJ/A there, but 
the sales gent was busy talking to another gentleman who had obviously never looked at a 
bike before. I'll visit another dealer I've previously dealt with to chat about an FJ.
I'm not fond of dealing with people I don't trust or respect.

I'm leaning toward one of the two HDs right now, based mainly on the fact that I *want* one
much more badly than an FJ, and also that either seems more comfortable for the passenger
than the FJ.  However, if I don't end up with a garage in the next year, I'll 
wait for a while and be very happy with an FJ.

Anyway, thanks again for the impressions (note that I distinctly didn't ask for people's 
opinions of which bike was "best", as there is no such thing).  Keep the info flying at me, 
I'll absorb it as best I can.

Hey Yeah how bout now.

Currently in my hands I hold a most precious oil covered battered book,
that used the index as a book mark,(VERY handy), it is titled 400-450
twins 1978-1987
With this sacred book I rebuilt my first bike, ol'Blue a '78 hawk, who,
unfortuantely just got sold (sniff) many a happy hour was spent in the
12,000+ miles in that seat. And many a frustrated one as I rebuilt it
after doing a entirly typical, dumb 1st biker thing, causing the engine
to seize. How odd to see this well used oily, thumbprinted dogeared book
sitting next to the crisp and white new clymer for my CB750F. (Sniff)
I'm gonna miss you ol' Blue, (although I think I am going to make a lamp
out of that old Crank.shaft)

I just mounted a new radio in my KZ1100 (Vetter fairing!  Remember them?) that has something
like 14 watts per channel.  At highway speeds I need to have it at about 3/4 to hear it 
with my helmet on.  Now it appears that by doing that I am draining the battery faster than
it will charge and have had hard restarts.  The battery is almost new.

Any suggestions?

Anyone know anything interesting about this bike?  I LOVE it even though it is "old iron" by
today's standards.  But since there are really no bikes built like this anymore (and in MN 
and WI you can find them with low-miles) they are still a bargain.

Enough Already!  The reality of the situation is that we all have to share the roads. Cut assholes a wide berth, and be concious of and courteous to all whom you share the road with.

As George Carlin once said: "Everyone going slower than you is an idiot.  Everyone going faster than you is a maniac.  It's amazing that you ever get anywhere with all the idiots and maniacs out there!"

Gee, If I could just ride my mountain bike, ride my 1100 and drive my 5.0 at the same time.. :-)
