It's the first paisley electric vest I've ever seen. It would probably

I had a similar situation recently.  After parking my
bike (1978 R100/7) on the street in Chicago near a friends
new condo, I was headed back to the bike, about half a block away, 
(carring my helmet and waring leather on an 80 degree day)
and two little white haired women, around 70 stopped me.

It wasn't the only bike in the neighborhood, so I'm sure they

called my bike 'beautiful'.  I suspected they were probably

In Loving Memory
----------------

On 13th October 1992 BOB (55) sadly passed away.
Much loved.  A good companion and trusted friend for five years.  At a time
when many things in my life were unstable he was there.
He will be missed by me and many others.

No the bike was not 55 years old, that relates to the 55000 miles he had done
30 of which was with me riding.  A 'T' reg. silver beige BMW R65 nick named
'BOB' (Bloody Orrible Bike) because like all boxer twins he refused to go out
in the cold (Unless I pushed or jump started) had the obligatory crunchy gear
box and all the other things which boxer riders love and 'K' riders hate.  He
gave his final rattle as he shot his pistons and bent his crank shaft on my way
to work.  Funny isn't it but I knew then that it was fatal.

Now looking for a loving home where a fanatic will restore to original glory
and save him from 'The Great Scrap Yard In the Sky.'  Sadly I can not afford
to donate to such a home but resonable offers will be accepted.

Also looking for a nice friend to for fun & travelling.  Sadly only short
journeys to & from work as Hubby has a lovely K100RS/LT and I don't get to
ride that much.

In the very early 70's, I bought a 67XLCH, that was pure stock.
The neat thing about it was the left handlebar grip which turned,
advanced and retarded the timing. In a normal running posistion
the grip was turned back, in a start mode(after priming the carb),
you would turn the grip forward to start. And if you did not turn
the grip in the proper direction upon starting, the kicker would
truly bruise your leg(calf) and or eject your leg from the kicker
rather quickly. It was a unique experience having a novice attempt
to start the bike, and usually did not last long, the slap of the kicker
on the leg, the pop back through the carb, and the the kicker kicking
the leg off the bike was standard. Partying and then grabbing the
bike to go home was as difficult for me, as I would grab both grips
crack the throttle, pull back on the bars, and have the kicker beat
my calf or eject my leg and me with it. Some of my older pans would
do the same, my 78FX has always been a 1-2 kick start bike since new
and still remains that way, the sturgis is more finicky(although I have
both electric and kick on it). 
  One more thing I was reading Supercycle this past weekend and came 
upon a company selling a pan kit for the evo, the kit was priced at
$749.00. It was a pan box and made the evo look top end look like
a pan, it was not some cheap cover for the rocker on the evo though.
I guess if you can't have the real thing then you fudge it, wonder where
this is all going to?

I'm thinking of getting one of these.  The current HOT BIKE has an article
on them and several folks have said nice things about them.  Someone once
complained about a chain tensioner but I can't recall who or if it was the
M6 they didn't like.

Should I get one?  Is $50 a decent price?  Does it go on easily?  Any special
tools?  Any black magic to prevent the primary from leaking after I pull
the cover ('91 Big Twin)?

    If this is the unit I think it is, it is a lot easier to
install than it is to keep adjusting a stock manual tensioner.
If your primary cover is assembled with phillips screws, you
should use an impact driver to open it. (Around $8.00 at Sears)
    Use a new gasket to avoid leaks. It helps to use something
sticky to hold the gasket in place. I like to use long fiber
wheel bearing grease because it's nicer to the mechanical parts
than glue and nicer to me if I ever have to take it apart again.

Net,

  I'm mildly ecstatic to report that The Deed is Done: I put
a deposit on an '93 XLH883 last night at Harley-Davidson of
Baltimore.  No, I didn't get a test ride on the black one they
had parked outside, but I asked for one.  They have one in stock
in the color *my wife* wants, but it might already be taken by someone
else.  If not, I'll get it this weekend, or in Jan/Feb.

  No Flames, please, about it being a Sportster (and 'only' an 883, not a
1200).  It has 2 wheels, and fits my budget, size, and riding style
and/or interests, at this point in time...Hooray for Me.

Get your basket!  Deal in Wheels at 1901 Highway 1, Rahway, NJ, 908-381-8553
has a 1938 Knuckle engine, transmission and frame (with supposedly matching
numbers!) in pieces for sale.  They tell me "the flywheels are out of the
cases but included" and the price is around $2500-3000.  I've seen it on 
the floor and I doubt it last ran during my lifetime (I'm 32).

I plan to visit the place this Saturday afternoon in hope of finding an
even smaller shorty helmet.  If you want me to look at some part of the 
rusting mass in detail for you, speak up soon...
