Do you HAVE to remove the emission control setup to install the centerstand
?  It seems odd to me that Honda would allow - no, NECESSITATE removal of 
the emissions equipment to install the centerstand.

Just asking...

the biker who introduces himself by wiping out within llama-spitting distance

ride pillion in the first place (sidecars excluded, if that's pillion (?)).

I find the foam ones adequate but I've found a trick to
putting them in.  (May not work for everyone).  Only squish
them down enough to fit them in (that way you don't have to
wait a minute for them to expand.  Maybe 1/4".  Then pull
the top of your ear out and up before inserting the plug.
You may have to experiment a little but I can now put the 
plugs in and be off in less than a minute.  Most of the
foam ones I see are rated from 22 to 29db noise reduction
but as some of you know, if they're not seated properly
they can INCREASE wind roar.  Sometimes helmet types
worsen the effect.  The Shoei-RF and GRV series that I've
owned seem to create the roar due to their shields.  Other
helmets with more flush-mounted shields tend to be quieter.
(The roar seems to emanate from the attach points where the
shield-to-helmet spacing is about 1/8 inch.  If someone could
fashion a gasket that would stay in place while opening the
full-face shield, it would probably work wonders.

I find "I'm a little teapot" is great fun when carrying a pillion.  Sing it 
good and loud the first time round so they know what you're singing then sing 
it again and do the actions.  Hint, make sure your "spout" is on the side 
nearest the centre of the road or the camber will take you into the curb in no

Are you SURE this is how it operates?  The moving radar units I've seen measure
the police cars speed by aiming a separate beam at the ground.
 
As to your defense, my experience has been that few cases get off on
"technicalities".  For instance, in one case I saw while waiting for mine
to come up, the accused tried to get out of the charge on the basis of
the cop had described his vehicle as a blue buick instead of a green ford.
The judge didn't want to hear about it.

The books on fighting your ticket are usefull for describing the process, but
they are hopelessly optimistic on what you chances are.  The cops and the 
judges have seen the books too.

	Even helmet manufacturers admit that at impact speeds greater than
15 mph (that's 24km/h--yes 24!), a fatal shock can be transmitted to the
wearer.  Not a helmet flame, but at a speed as high was 80km/h, no helmet in
the world will save your life if your head strikes a solid object at such a
speed, unless you're damned lucky.

	That's what YOU read into the ads.  Reference Ed Green's article:  the
purpose of the ad may only be to get the manufacturer's name into your head,
not necessarily to appeal to everyone.  Times they are-a-changing, however:
even _Easyriders_ magazine now has not one but TWO columns devoted solely to
women who ride ( "Foxy Rider," where a woman's bike is profiled--she is usually
comfortably clad in jeans and boots and whatever else she chooses, and "Flyin'
Free:  A Forum for Women in the Wind").

	Um...(slobber, slobber, drool, drool)...YES!  I've known a few women

convince her to at least take the MSF course, but she has no interest other
than riding pillion, which she seems to enjoy very, very much.  I'd like to
see her do it--I think she'd get a real kick out of it.

	Absolutely not.  You definitely have one up on Madison Ave. here.
Write them a letter and tell them how you feel, or else the status quo will
never change.

>It's more fun to participate than to watch!

	Amen.

This is just insane.  There's no way I'm going to one-issue
vote this year... especially not when the single issue
recommendation is for a bigoted, homophobic, anti-choice
lunatic.  Much as I like my new hobby, I rank a lot of issues 
as much more important than helmet laws (abortion rights, 
the economy, anti-discrimination legislation, for example).

There's only one sensible strategy:  Vote for the candidate 
who best matches your views all around, and then lobby that 
candidate about motorcycle issues.
