	Wash the helmet liner.  The way I do it is to remove the visor,
put a tea-towel in the kitchen sink, set the helmet upside down on the
tea-towel (see -- scratch protection), then pour some warm water
into the helmet and add a bit of dish soap.  Work the soapy water
through the liner with your fingers, let it soak a while, empty it
out, rinse, empty, and squeeze excess from the liner.

	Works great to wash out accumulated perspiration and hair
styling products :-) and leave a nice fresh itch-free liner
complete with optional lemon fresh smell if desired.  Won't harm
the helmet at all.

	With current technology, what is the "parasite"
trade-off for shaft drive versus chain?  Is there still (was there
ever?) a small power-loss for shaft with the extra bevel gears and all?
Numbers, please; even if you have to make them up.

---                            _    ___
Look at it this way, if your collegue thinks shaft drive is so hot then
why aren't we seeing them on the 500cc GP bikes ridden by Rainey, Doohan,
Schwantz and so forth? Generally speaking, a shaft drive is more for
convenience (no messy chain, no adjustments, no new sprockets or chains)
while chains are more, shall we say, performance oriented and cheaper.
Easy to change gearing w/ chains while a shaft drive is pretty much
limited by diameter of the tire if you want lower or taller gears.

I prefer to be shafted ;-) on long distance trips, but the chain is
the only way to give the shaft to the cherry tops especially if it
happens to be a new 185mph '93 ZX-11. I'll take a black one, thank
you, and modify the wiring to shut off the lights while motor is
running ... keeps my driving record clean as a baby's butt. :-)

In 1981, I was despatching in Lewisham in the snowy winter at Christmas.  I
came out one morning to find my Wings' battery exhausted (it certainly wasn't
flat, I examined it).  I was staying in my friend's digs at the top of the hill
so I pushed it out onto the road going down the hill and rode it down all
the way, trying to get the engine to turn and start.  The bloody thing just
wouldn't turn!  All that happened was that the back wheel would lock.  I tried
it in first, second and third but all to no avail.  When I go to the bottom of

that two-wheeled ballast block up that hill!

This is a very common type of accident, nearly 2/3 of multi-vehicle
collisions involve violation of the motorcyclists right-of-way.  Once
you are one second away from a collision, practiced maximum braking
and swerving become essential.  "I tried to hard left..." indicates to
me that you may not have learned how best to swerve a motorcycle onto
a new path of travel.  Have you ever taken any rider-education
courses?

To answer the question "could (you) have AVOIDED that accident?", you
have to take a few steps back in time and space.  As you approached
the intersection, passing the other vehicle, did you observe the car
facing on the other direction?  Did you predict that he might not see
you?  What steps did you take to see and be seen?  Did you select a
strategy for dealing with the hazard, increase your space cushion,
communicate with the other driver, cover your brakes and clutch for
reduced reaction time, choose an escape route?  Riding a motorcycle in
traffic has been estimated to be as high as 90% a MENTAL activity.
Concentrating on the physical options that were open to you after
making a crucial error in judgement is short-changing yourself.

Effective mental strategies for dealing with traffic hazards was long
ago determined to be the most critical component of any street
rider-education curriculum.  In the MSF novice and experienced
RiderCourse, we teach two such strategies which have been proven
especially effective for motorcyclists.  If the type of analysis above
is news to you, do yourself a favor and attend an MRC:RSS or ERC near
you.

opening the throttle part way did not produce such a result.
I had not noticed this previously on the bike.  You could

Sorry to reply here, but your mail address didn't accept my reply.  So here it is:

Thanx for the info, Jody - much appreciated.  I ordered an RK chain after my friends said that the difference between Tsubaki and RK was just the price.  I order the parts to my country place in New York state and bring them back.  But I've been lucky with mail orders:  they've taken less than a week each time to arrive.

My sprockets needed changing badly.  I could pull the chain back a good centimetre from the rear sprocket easily!  Just in case you're interested (if not, well - just skip this), price was 58.95 for chain (112links), 15.95 and 34.95 for sprockets + 16$ s/h = ~155$ Canadian.  Is this decent?  The sprockets are Sunstar steel.

So you have a bike and I can ride it if I like?  What type of bike is it?

Thanks again.

	As long as I know, there were two automatic transmission (AT) MC's from
	Honda; CB400AT and CB750AT (and both had the same pet name "EARA":
	pronounced AIR RA).
	CB400AT was based on CB400T HAWK II (i believe this is Japanese model
	name) which had the same power unit as CB400N HAWK.  CB750AT was 
	developed from CB750 Custom Exclusive, and had basically the same engine	as the famous CB750F.
	The power units of the both bikes, however, were powered down a few ps's	due to the durability of AT mechanism at that time.

	I myself *ever* seen CB750AT only twice back in Japan.

	Hope this helps.
