Hey, I just bought a two piece suit from those guys, nice, too for only $310
(shipped to CO)  Fits great, decent construction, weird stying, but hey,
that sorta fits with my lifestyle.  I was told the suit was black, purple

Indeed.  However, if one is going to postulate solutions to the present
problems, I might point out that it may be prudent to postulate problems
with the proposed solutions to the problems at the same time, so as to
prevent the possibility of problems precipitating themselves at some time
post-present, when the resolution of the previously unpredicted problems
may be made somewhat more problematic, if not enitrely prevented, by a
poor perusal of the proposed solution, or a least poor planning.

The last time I looked, a mid-eighties K100RT (or T, I can't keep the suffixes
straight, but T is touring and S is Sport) goes for about $3000-3500. It's got
a four-cyclinder water-cooled engine, with plenty of power and all that. The
RT is also set up for touring, with a fiaring and large widscreen. The RS has
a smaller windscreen, and is slightly less loaded.

You could look at a boxer (R-bike), and pay less. My '79 R65 would sell for
around $2000; a more-popular (R75, R80, R90, R100) from the same era would
sell for around $2500.

Benefits of the boxer are that they're simple machines -- you can do all the
work yourself, with just the supplied toolkit (add a torque wrench if you're
not equipped with torque-sensing hands). They've got the "100,000 mile engine"
(but I expect the K-bikes will last just as long). On the down-side, they're
louder, lower-power, and quirky. It is a classic and elegant design, tho'.

You might wish to reconsider the BMW choice. They're wonderful bikes, and will
last forever if properly cared-for, but parts are expensive and can be hard to
find. This can be summed up in an experience my friend and I had last summer,
in the hills of West Virginia: At a rest stop, we were talking to some locals;
one looked at my friend's Honda, and commented on how he had had several, and
how much he liked them. Another looked at my boxer, and said "I didn't think
BMW made motorcycles." The next day, we arrived at our destination - him with
a nail in his tire, me with a broken turn-signal switch. He was able to get
the tire patched that afternoon, I had to wait three days for a new switch to
be shipped to me.

As a side note, I've found Performance Bikes irregularly at some of our
larger bookstores (e.g. Barnes and Noble) here in Minnesnowta.  It's
probably my favorite moto-rag.

Also, did anyone else find it rather hypocritical in the Jan (?) issue
of CW where they had an article on ``cop motorcycle school'' with
pictures of everyone running around in half-shells and t-shirts?  They
even said there was one person who was a rank newbie to bikes!  At
least PB had (what sure looks like) an experienced rider.  What a bunch
of dorks.

Don't blame Marks and Spencer. Your broken sandwich bag was an omen showing you

Ask anyone outside of North America about Chicago, and the standard
response is "Al Capone.  Ratatatat!(or other machine gun sound effect)"

Ask any U.S. citizen about Northern Ireland, and the majority will
tell you that it's a crater-ridden war zone.

Both opinions are based on ignorance, but both are pretty common as well.

Subject: ZX-11 D1
Date: 28 Jan 93 07:42:54 GMT
Organization: Fido's Kennel, Cupertino CA

Hello All!

Well, the projected rebuild costs on my '90 ZX-11 to put it into orbit
finally reached a level comensurate with space exploration costs. The
Italians and French has raised their prices on the exotica, and the total
rebuild cost went beyond what I am willing to pay. Enough is enough.

So..... with some sadness, ma moto was sold last Saturday under the salvage
title. I got the amount I lost by keeping her on the insurance settlement.
Fair enough.

Then, the question arose, what to do with the insurance money that has been
on deposit with the dealer since August. A long vacation in Hawaii? A much
dreamed about trip to Bankok? More funding for a startup business? Or, a new
motorcycle. Well, thats not hard to answer, is it?

Anyway, in about a month, I'll be the owner of a new ZX-11 D1, despite the
awful hue of the paint and the tacky graphics. Paint and decals can be altered
easily enough if they become too painful. And the best part of all is that
I already have put down (by leaving my insurance money there) 80 percent of
the purchase price, making the rest much less painful.

Why another ZX-11? Because there isn't a ZX-12? Well, I looked at the CBR900RR
and its too agressive for me, I don't tie into pretzels as easily as I used
to. The ZX-7R has long held my interest, but ditto the last sentence. The FZR
is as always pick of the litter, and the new GSXRs are looking pretty good.
But, when it all comes down to it, I'd rather have the comfort and high
speed distance ability of the ZX-11 when used for sport touring than the
knife-edged handling of the real sportbikes. And having once experienced the
acceleration and brute power of the ZX-11, I find I'd like some more of it.

This one won't get any engine mods, Muzzy pipes, of V&H ignition advancers.
Braided brake hoses, yes. Progressive fork springs, yes, when they are
available. My Ohlins if it fits, yes. An Ungo M2000 alarm, yes. But I think
I won't make it any louder or quicker than originally delivered. Must be
getting more sedate in my old age. :-)

Oh, and if anyone wants good leathers and can get to Helimot in San Jose,
I'd highly recommend it! I just was fitted for a custom 2-piece Pesci suit,
and considering my considerable girth, the final price was more than
reasonable. Maybe I'll get it before Spring. :-)

Ergo, I am now removing the ZX-11 From Hell line from my .sig

John

She said, "Its either me or that ZX-11!" Too bad, I'll miss her.
