Just returned from a trip to Santa  Fe, New Mexico on my trusty steed, a
1991 BMW K-100 RS.  No long trip report, just a gleaning:  for long rides,
Mack's ("pillow soft") silicone earplugs, available at Rite Aid, work
pretty darn well.  They're cheap ($1.50 buys two reusable pairs) and
they block out wind and road noise better than the normal foam type.

On the downside, they are fiddly to get in right.  I spent con-
siderable time playing with them to get the right seal.  For this reason, 
I would not recommend them for short rides or commutes.

The Nov 1991 issue of Motorcyclists has their 30 helmet comparison.  One of the tests they included in their test, was UV blockage from stock tinted shields.  I won't enter all the helmets but the lowest was the Shoei RF200 at 73%, the best were the MDS Futura and the AGV Sukhoi at 100%.  Most were in teh 90s,  Likeswise, the test included light transmitted.  These ranged from the MDS Futura/AGV Sukhoi at 14% to the Bieffe B10 at 52%.  To much light makes for tired eyes due to squinting, to little light ma





kes for too much eye strain.  Chose your styles.

BTW, this article was written by Andy Saunders, not Holst, if that has any effect on people's reaction to the article.  :-)

Sorry, Peter, I don't know CMU or GSIA from M-O-U-S-E.  But I do
hereby apologize for using a technical computer term in flaming an
obvious non-computer type.

"Marketing Geek" is a general term some REAL computer people use to
denigrate any random user or empty suit up with whom we must put in
order to remain gainfully employed doing real work.  Since people who
actually work^H^H^H^H get paid doing computer marketing are among the
worst annoyances, and since it's not worth the effort to find out the
actual job title of minor random annoyances, "marketing geek" is just
a shorthand term, not actually implying occupation.

But I'll bet when you get a real job, you'll buy a Volvo AND a
minivan.

Say _WHAT_?!?  There is no such thing as a _centrifugal_ force.  It
simply does not exist (look it up in any college physics text that you
wish).  So now how does this imaginary force create rigidity when you
turn?

Countersteering is simply turning the bike's contact patch (the part
the ground pushes up on) out from under you and the bike.  This allows
lean, and then you create a _centripetal_ acceleration in the
direction of the lean to stop from falling over.  The centripetal
force is caused by the radius and the velocity in the corner.
Everything matches up, you go around the corner, you don't fall down,
you don't run off the road.

Sheesh.  Dana was making a joke guys.  If you didn't get it, then
maybe you should learn to ride first?  Try taking CLASS or the
California Superbike School, or even the MSF ERC...

Maybe we should put "THIS IS A JOKE" all over these postings...

Although there have been many helpful and interesting responses to some

Public derisive posturing and private help seems to be a hallmark of the net.

The letter changes each year. So you can tell by the registration what year
the vehicle is. This is a brilliant way for those snobs that rush to change
their car every year to show off. This when the car dealers have the most
work. When they run out of letters they swap sides and start again:
D999ABC => ABC999D

Not all letters are used. Q is reserved for personal imports/construction etc...
Sometimes the combinations of letters and numbers spell something interesting
, these are viewed as the U.S. personalised plates and are sold from 
person to person.
The real interesting combinations are banned. Like  A55HOL etc...

eric, you don't know anything about me or my riding, and drawing such
a conclusion from a single article is ludicrous.  my point was that
she should buy a big enough bike to suit her riding needs, not
something so small that she will 1) feel uncomfortable on it in city
traffic or 2) outgrow it quickly if she plans on carrying a passenger
