I noticed something on my way back from work the other day.  My ride to and
from work each day is kinda fun... I routinely get up to 70-80mph and
never ever can be ticketed!!

(But then again, I am in a train)

What I noticed this particular afternoon was that the trackage goes right
past a junior high or high school athletic field, complete with tennis
courts.  Well I saw about 10 flourescent tennis balls on the track bed
but there were absolutely NO little girls retrieving them!

So, for those of you that want to ride and don't want the hazards of LGWTB's
ride down railroad tracks... its a bit bumpy..but what the hell..

   Hi guys!

   I was reading a test of a couple of superbikes (GSXR 1100,
   ZZR 1100, CBR 1000 and FZR 1000) in a motorcycle magazine
   the other day and found, much to my surprise, that the
   FZR 1000 was 1 second faster when going from 0-100 Km/h than
   any of the other bikes! The Yamaha made 100 Km/h in 2.6
   seconds, while the other bikes made the same speed in around
   3.4-3.6 seconds.

   Engine power/machine weight values are roughly the same for
   the machines, and yet this big difference in acceleration
   time occurs. 

   Maybe the Yamaha makes 100 Km/h without shifting to second gear
   and the others don't?

   Any other ideas to explain this?

Yeah, great!  Make sure that they're the full-stick electrical kind, though,

Organization: Chemistry Dept., Harvard University

Now we will see if distribution codes work (BWA-HA-HA)!

Representative Vincent Ciampa has submitted legislation (House bill
5389) to permit the use of motorcycle modulating headlights in the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  The bill does not make anything
mandatory, it simply excludes these devices from a general prohibition
on "flashing-style" non-emergency lighting.

This bill is significant for three reasons:

1) It clarifies the legal status of these devices for rider-education
and law enforcement purposes in Massachusetts.

2) It is a bill which has a good chance of passing.  Responsible
legislation from motorcyclists which is viewed in a positive light by
the public safety community is rare.  This represents a superb public
relations opportunity.

3) There is a lot of support.  The MSF, MIC, AMA, and the Governors
Highway Safety Bureau have all come out in support of this bill.  I
testified before the joint Public safety committee on Thursday and the
testimony was well-received.  Your letters will not only support the
bill - they will demonstrate grass-roots solidarity with some pretty
solid organizations.

The executive committee meeting is Thursday, April 16.  Please write
in support of House Bill 5389 before then.  Direct your letters to: 

	Representative Paul Caron
	Chairman - Public Safety Committee

 Some departments are using infrared laser systems, but they're not

no. No. NO.

I don't think what I was talking about were "cattle g(r)ates".

These are new roads (within 5-10 years).  These are OVERpasses.
These are (OK a little wider than 1-2") 3-4 inches wide with the
following cross-section:

This groove appears to be about 2" deep.
The groove usually runs about 30 feet long or so, PARALLEL to the
dashes on the highway.

On a 4-lane highway, separated by cement block dividers, these are
ONLY found in the lanes closest to the dividers, and ONLY on over-
passes, and ONLY parallel to the flow of traffic.

What gives?  What are these for?

The Honda CX-500, built 1978-1983 (I think), is a longitudinal V Twin of
474 cc displacement with 4 valves per cylinder, fed through a pair of (I
believe 35 mm constant velocity carbs with electronic ignition and liquid
cooling.  Single disk single piston single caliper front and drum rear
brakes, shaft drive and UJM styling.

Strong points are gobs of engine torque from 2500RPM to just below 10500
redline, consistant neutral handling with little shaft effect, and a nice
smooth positive transmission (5 speeds), coupled with an almost bullet-proof
low maintenance engine.  Weak points include marginal stopping power, lower
legs against cylinder head covers if you are over about 5' 8" tall, soft
front forks, and the need for a frame mounted fairing.

Family members include a Turbo version and a big brother 650 which also was
Turboed.  Available in Custom, Deluxe (longer frame) and Touring versions
the touring version which started life as a 500 and the became a 650 was
known as the Silver Wing.

Cool looking! YES   Squidly NO The turbos would go like a bat out of hell
but the basic handling was not up to staying with the sport bikes of their
day.

  Ummm..  I used a tool designed to flare copper pipe.  Kind of

I think it's high time motorcycle manufacturers started offering leg
protectors as options on motorcycles imported into this country.  The
only way we can avoid punative legislation in the long run is for the
motorcycling community to police ourselves.  Voluntary use of such
proven safety equipment can provide a strong argument for countering
restrictive laws.

Perhaps it was someone else whose arguments against mandatory helmet
laws were beyond your comprehension.  It's interesting that you call
me a jerk because of one tounge-in-cheek posting (that I later
apoligized for as well).

No, most folks that I read mostly just implied that you were an
ignorant fuck.  Just for edification of newer readers, my bud Steve
believes in helmet laws because once when he was younger he crashed
while he was wearing a helmet that he wouldn't have been if there
hadn't been a helmet law.  That perhaps he should wear a helmet
because its an intelligent thing to do never occured to my pal
apparently.  He needs the government to save him from himself.  And,
of course, since he's too fucking stupid to wear a helmet unless
there's a law, all the rest of us must be as well.
