Be careful doing this on public roads without ambulance nearby.  Public
roads might have a little gravel or dirt or banana skins or banana slugs
that can cause you severe probs when you hit them at high speed in a
stoppie.

I had an exciting moment last month when bedding in some brake pads in
the manner which you describe.... I encountered a manhole cover while
doing a 95mph stoppie.  Sheeeeit.  The good part is, at those speeds,
there's enough momentum to give you time to ease off a bit before the
front end tucks under.

I think I'd recommend either a block & tackle, or 2nd gear, and about
3500 rpm. Knobbies might help too, you wouldn't want to pick up too much

I've had a 1983 Yamaha Virago 500 since August. It had less than
100 miles on it when I bought it. (Yes, I'm sure, and no I wasn't
born yesterday.) I put 1000 miles on it, and I love it.
 
I can't judge from just 1000 miles, but others have told me the
bike has a reputation for being very reliable. The only thing I
had to do to get the bike running, after it layed around in
neglect for 7 years, was to install a new battery and a new
starter relay. I've heard the starter relay is one of the few
common problems with the bike.
 
I don't think that 22,000 miles is a lot for a Virago, unless
it's been abused and not maintained. I'm sure you'll be enjoying
it for quite a while.

Honda did a spectacular job on these bikes. There's almost literally

Fellow DoDers,

With any luck (skill?, intimidation?) today will be my last day at Vanderbilt.
While the actual degree won't show up 'til May, I am DONE.  I have found
gainful employment for NCR in Fort Collins, Colorado.  My current email address
will remain active for some unspecified time.  As soon as I get a new one, I'll
change it in the roster.  I THINK that I won't get rot.moto @ NCR.  But mebbe
there is some kind syscxzsop out there to provide me access.

The jury is still out on my handle.  Just "Flash" seems a bit too simple.
"Fort Collins Flash" doesn't fit (yet).  

Moving to where the Sun actually shines and the roads look like a can full
of worms is a dream come true... and they're gonna PAY me, too.  The status

All that aside, it's an incorrect followup.  Everyone knows that
the JAS engines (not to be confused with JAP engines) had legendarily
high efficiencies, due largely to the cylinder design.  Instead of
relying on conventional piston rings (with their attendant frictional
losses) to seal the cylinders, the JAS engines used prelubricated
piston sheaths, made of sheep intestines, to assure a leak-free, low
friction tight fit.  (Later revisions of the marque began using
latex sheaths instead, but along with puncture problems that appear
with some synthetic lubricants, the old-timers will tell you
that the natural sheaths just "feel better".

The first time I crashed my CB750F this summer I bent the handlebars so
you were kinda leaning to the left.  Luckily, I crashed a month or so
later and changed it so I was leaning to the right.  I rode one or two
thousand miles like that; it bothered me for a short while but I soon
got used to it and even rode down to Chicago and back with them like
that.

When I eventually got them fixed, I didn't like the straight bars.

My advice:  relax and get used to it.  Your bars probably aren't bent 
all that bad, relatively speaking.

(as an interesting aside, my forks got twisted in the first accident
also but the second accident seems to have bent them right back into
shape.  Now it works great.  alas, the rest of the bike is going. :-(

THIS GOT CUT OFF THE FIRST TIME

Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just got my new bike on Tuesday.  Well, it isin't far from new.
My wife was as excited as I was.  I knew I married her for a good
reason.  It had 865 miles on it when I picked it up at 7:00pm in
Charlotte, NC.  Its a 1991 Ninja 600R.  I can ignore the "Ninja"
stickers.  I think I got a good deal (about $225 below blue book value).
The bike looks like it just came off the showroom floor.  Best of
all, there ain't no stinkin' aftermarket pipe on it.  That was one
of the things I was looking to avoid as it just might indicate 
    a) A propensity to do stupid things

    b) A propensity to race or beat the hell out of the bike
The bike was also the only color which I really wanted:  Black.
I would have bought it if it were any color (almost) but who wants
to look down and see a blinding Puke Green?

Man, was it a cold ride home. ~180 miles.  It must have been around
30 degrees.

First bad thing:  While getting gas, I dropped the key down into the
left side of the bike.  I ended up buying a flash light and taking
part of the left bodywork off, but I found the key.

Second bad thing:  I lost a little plastic screw recepticle.  A
$.10 piece that I later had to pay about $3.25 to replace.  

Could this be a sign that more and more of my income will be going
towards plastic?
