Also in the embarassing column.  Jump off bike, put sunglasses and keys into
helmet, run into the store with helmet held like a bucket.  Buy something,
but put helmet down on counter *upright*.  Grab helmet, run back out, pull on
helmet, dig for glasses...quietly return to store.

I have a vanity plate on my 64-1/2 Mustang convertible--it's M ILIFF
(my married name).  It's amazing what people try to make of it.

The part that worries me is that even people who know that I'm married
to Ken Iliff don't seem to figure it out.  (I use Shafer at work, Iliff

Hey, I liked mine.  It was my first motorcycle, so I'm probably biased.  It
was RED.  Like Ducati RED, and pretty.  The rest of the motorcycle was 
pretty ordinary, but I liked it.  Mine was a 1980 KZ440; same model with 40
more CCs.  Your price does seem high to me, though.  I sold mine in '87 for
$1 per CC.  It had about 6K miles and didn't need anything done.

". . . needs replaced".  Hmm, I've never heard anyone else but my sweetie 
use that construction.  Where ya from, Mike?

Hah! It was. I did.  Years ago. (Carol remembers how many, it's a lot.)


She made me buy a BMW and a Ducati, too. And cleaned out the garage and
made me park them inside (much to the surprise of my poor old Virago,
who spent ten years sleeping out in the rain. In Oregon, the moss grows
on the north side of your motorcycle).

Other people are happy with their spouses too, so it's arrogant
of me to call her "The World's Best Wife". (Until I find that
Harley chopper, anyway.)

So, the plan so far is to have a black short sleeved tishirt, with the logo

When I was at Illinois, they had many little "Motorcycle Only" lots tucked
away in nooks and crannies all over campus.  It's surprising how many
cycle slots you can fit behind trees and bushes.  There was only one
annoyance:  I went to school during the preppy era, when all of the frat and
sorority plaid boys & girls were zipping around campus on their cute little 
scooters.  The "Motorcycle Only" lots were often jammed with those d*mn
things.  :-)

Date: 8 Sep 92 17:10:14 GMT
Organization: Kubota Pacific Computer, Inc.


    Thanks to all the folks who e-mailed me about my fried regulator/
rectifier!  This was a problem I encountered with my 1983 Kawasaki GPz 550.
Here's a summary of the problem and the solution:

    I measured around 12 volts across the leads of my battery terminals
(this should be 14.5 volts), so I inspected the charging system.  First of
all, I screwed up by measuring the output of the alternator in DC volts
(this should have been AC volts).  I realized the error of my ways after I
got a replacement stator (fortunately the shop I got it from, Santa Clara
Cycle Salvage, was way cool and gave me credit for the part).  So, I moved
onto the regulator/rectifier and found that two of the three stator leads
on the multiconnector were partially melted.

    At this point, my dilemma was to decide if the leads were melted
because the RR (I'm getting tired of typing regulator/rectifier all the
time! =)  went bad, or if something else went bad or shorted and killed
the RR.  This was when I posted to the net.

    The general consensus was that the RR probably caused the melted leads
and should just be replaced.  I went through some grief getting a
replacement -- I won't go into it, but for this part I recommend going
OEM.  After running some checks on the multiconnect to make sure that
there were no shorts in the system and that I got the values I expected
from the schematics, I hooked up the new RR and fired it up.  Well,
everything's up and running and looking good now!  14.5v across the
terminals and everything's A-OK.  BTW, the RR cost $110 to replace.

    Thanks to Paul Thompson, David Wise, Jonathan Quist and all the others
who replied to my plea.

The SRX6 has a 600cc engine to the SR500's 500cc, and a much
sportier design.  No fairing, though.

I almost bought one once, but the seating position was
