I've picked up my Nighthawk 250 a couple of times, and it weighs about 300.
And I don't liken myself to an elf for naught. I think the kind of handlebars
you have and what other grab bars or backbars there are, is as important
as what the bike weighs. I know my old CB550F would be a lot easier to pick
up if it had a stock seat instead of this fiberglass lash-on, although I've
even managed picking up that one by myself with a healthy input of grunt power.

As for Gold Wings, I dunno, maybe they should make an accessory with a couple
of metal or hard plastic arms with an electric motor between them, which you
could wedge btw the ground and the Wing and raise it up that way.

All I've ever heard from Wing riders is this smug, "But I'm never going
to drop it anyway..."

If you loaned your bike to a guy who you knew, in advance, was going to flog
it harder than you ever had and not pay a dime should he dump it, and you
further knew his name to be Lance Holst, at who would the assembled Denizenry
point and call "JERK"?

Good idea, but the notion of "beeping lightly" sounds, well... too qute (sp?)
for me. I use a couple of 110 dBa car horns that always makes cagers pay
attention to my frowns. By having the horns sounding a quint apart, they

You know, there are whole bunches of people who think of the term
'squid' with fondness. 10 years ago, when I started riding, the
'squid squad' were the guys who owned the hot bikes, the ones
with interceptors, with GSX-Rs, with RZ350 and RZ500s, the guys
with Ducatis, the ones who aprreciated fine machinery, the ones
who owned leathers, and dreamed of racing one day.

I was one of them. I rode hard (on a 78 GS550), I rode fast, I 
took chances, I raced on the street. Sometimes I won, sometimes
I crashed...

You people can be as sanctimonious as you like, you can come
down on anyone who doesn't ride "responsibly", you can condemn
me because I make you look bad.

But you will grow small in my mirrors, oh safe ones, and
it will make my heart sing to make you feel slow.

To quote: "Ride fast, take chances..."

Regards, Charles.

What worked for a friend of mine was this:  
He parked his RD400 under his bedroom window.  One night when a would be
thief was messing with it, he grabbs his pistol-grip police-style
questionable-legality shotgun and holds it out the second story window and
pumps the pump action.  Make a nice sound, it does.  Discourages thieves
much more convincingly than a rude-to-the-neighbors bike alarm.  THe
would-be thief proceeded to attempt to break into the Jesse Owens class of
runners.

I found zero-clutch shifting by watching my every
move while riding, and I noticed that in fast shifts,
I couldn't possibly be pulling in the clutch enough 
to dis-engage it. Sure enough, I tried the same shift
point without touching the lever, and it worked. Some
careful experimentation led to the conclusion that
the motorcycle transmission has enough play that the 
engine can adjust its RPM to the new ratio before all
the slack is taken up, since the angular momentum is
so low (being a physically small motor).

...or It could just be.... Naaa. Never mind.

ObGetABikeEd: To operate the clutch is to DIS-engage,
really.

Too Much Riding??

Have any fellow riders had the same problem I have?

Over the last couple of months I have been suffering from a sore neck.
I have had X-Rays of my neck and it appears that there has been more than
usual neck ware, this has meant that a nerve has been pinched in my neck
and giving me pain down one arm. The doctors can not tell why my neck has worn.

My question is, could the cause of this pain be the continous high speed wind
against my face together with the heavy fibre glass helmet I use. I am
37 years old, I started riding at 19 years of age, and had a bike for nearly
all that time. I would estimate that I have accumulated 190,000km. I have
enjoyed many tours over many holidays where these tours I have traveled long
distances e.g. 5,000km. The bikes I have used are Honda CB350, CB750 and a
Suzuki GSX1100. These bikes do not have fairings.

My question is: Has this high speed air effected my neck? I like riding but
I like don't like pain. Are my riding days over?
Has any one else had the same problem?
What do you fellow riders think.

Amusing battery anecdote:

I know of a guy who had this old beater CB350 he used to flog around
on.  One day on a road trip his battery boiled dry and he couldn't get
the bike started.  He filled the battery up with Coke [tm] and it
actually produced enough current to run.  This is the same guy who
used to get excited about the fact that he could recycle the same head
gasket 5 times.

I wonder how many people are capable of righting a downed GL1500...maybe if you
wedged a deflated beach ball between bike and road and then used the on-board
air compressor (it has one, right?) you could get it on the sidestand again.

Seriously, I think you're on the right track, starting with a small bike,

     I've always said that having studded tires on a bike would prepare
     me for a no-snow situation.  And last year I had moderate success
     with the studded YZ490.   But...

     I put that bike away for the winter because I have limited room,
     and I was SICK of working on it!!!  I didn't do any major jobs,
     but enough little stuff that I'd had enough.  (Now it probably
     needs a top end anyway).  I wanted to concentrate on the snowmos
     and the usual day-to-day chores which drag me down.

     However!!!!!  It's late Thursday night and snowing pretty hard.  I
     gotta get home and pack for the lake 'cuz we may have more snow
     this weekend!!!  If we can avoid those melting days, this season
     may pull thru after all... it's still early I guess, maybe 2
     months left.

     Wish us luck, and sorry you won't get to race the San Antone
     race.  Still gonna pit for your buddies?  (I knew that loaner bike
     was too good to be true  :-)

	You measure the diameter with a set ofcalibrated pins (carefully 
so as not to scrape the hole larger). Most machine shops have a set of pins.

I am planning to have my '89 KDX200 cylinder ported this winter. 

Has anyone had experience with porting by George Quay's Pro-Action? I ask
because they have a Canadian franchise which would save me the hassles of
sending the cylinder cross-border and are cheap at $125 Cdn.

Pro-Circuit and Moose racing charge $240 US. Fredette Racing charges $100
US. What's the difference? Anyone else to consider?

Also, has anyone lightened their KDX200 flywheel. A Dirt Rider article
suggested shaving 4 ounces.

Thanks,

Gordon   1990 KX200

San Antonio here I come.  NOT!  There is two reasons for this.  The first
being that the bike I was going to ride is not available and second, I just
spent $220 having a new computer put into my wifes car.  No bike and no money 
equals no race.  There is always next year!

P.S.  My wife's '89 Chevy Berretta is junk!  This is the 2nd computer that has
      went bad.  We seem to be getting 30,000 miles a computer.  GM sucks
      2-stroke exaust.
