How about that article a month or so ago on the "How to take out other
(presumably hostile) cages quickly and safely" driving school? Not
terribly practical if you're on a bike, but it does have a certain
fascination, in a "Road Warrior" sort of way. :-)

Actually I thought the orange gack color was in keeping with the horrific

Horsepower, acceleration, & superior handling.  Your laundry list above 
does nothing to improve the vehicle's performance.

ABS.......See any GP bikes with this feature?
Motor Management.......The world already has too many managers.
Fuel Injection........Kawasaki had it first, no improvement for cost.
Shaft Drive with levers.....See any GP bikes with this feature?
Fiamm Horns..............Yawn.
Recyclable plastics......I thought BMWs last forever?
Heated grips.............Old snowmobile technology.
Catalytic converters.....Hoping they hang an air injection pump on it?
Flashers.................A real chick magnet.
Electronic instruments...Hate 'em, another failed Japanese experiment.
accessory sockets........Comes in handy when you hook up the Christmas
                         tree.
canceling signals........Yamaha had it first.

There were the "ChopCycles" battery powered Hot Wheels trikes, and the
"Rumblers" unpowered Hot Wheels cycles. My favorite was the one with the
huge T-tail spoiler. Who needs a mere sissy bar, let's have some

I did it recently, to take a ski back home from the repair shop. 

The strap-to-the-side approach wouldn't have worked, because I have
a Beemer R-bike, and there are carbs sticking out; strapping it lengthwise
on the saddle is no good either, because of the fuel tank being both
higher and wider than the seat. 

I ended up bungeeing the ski diagonally across the seat, and sitting on it; 
the right knee prevented it slipping sideways.
It protruded a bit to the left and the rear of the bike, but not too badly. 

Not very comfortable, especially when braking, but doable.

And yes, by the looks I was getting, you'd think I was towing llamas
on rollerblades behind me or something.

I am looking to replace the back tire on my 83 Nighthawk 650 before riding 
season (or selling season) hits.

It has the RWL Dunlop Radial on it now.  I thought about going to a Black
Wall tire, but the front has a new Dunlop RWL, so I will be sticking with the
RWL for matching purposes.

I do not have the size off hand, but can get it to you.  Can you offer a
good place to buy/order one.

I appreciate your help.

Thanks again.

Wouldn't have anything to do with a rumour that's circulating that Harley

not a little help from Harris?? I seem to remember reading that they might even 
enter the Superbike championship, wasn't there a picture recently in Bike/PB?

Absolutely correct, it was the Spagthorpe Indomitable.  It was developed
during the time that BNG (British National Group) owned Spagthorpe, shortly
before the orignal family bought it back.  It was developed by Wilhelm
Grotonwicke Spagthorpe, AKA Willie G. Spagthorpe, as an answer to the 
Japanese invasion of hi-tech bikes.  The market response was something
less then enthusiastic and only 4 additional units were producted. (I
think Malcomn Forbes had one, one blew up on the bonnie salt flats when
the cooling water became contaminated, and the other two lost in the 
sands of time.)  I had a picture of the prototype, but alas it has faded
with time (a lot like me), and the picture just won't scan.

	Could some kind soul tell me how to upload this? I have no real
	idea how to deal with archives... I haven't even really been able
	to find any file at cerritos that I think might be this program. I have
	a UNIX account and all that fun stuff, and know how to ftp etc., but
	have never dealt with archives before.

	E-mail or post if you think other people care... thanks.
