Sorry guys, I dont know how to restrict distribution to the Silicon Valley area (since I am posting from the right coast).

I would like to rent/lease a bike for about 10 days when I am visiting my 
relatives during Christmas this year.  I know there are commercial 
establishments that do this on a regular basis. Unfortunately, I am only
a poor graduate student, usually broke, and can't afford their rates.  

Would a kindly Bay Area motorcyclist be willing to discuss terms for a rat bike
in running condition? If it is any help, my current ride is an '83 650
Nighthawk and I have put 7K miles on it over the past year.

TIA

Yeah, what he said.  Go to country stores in small towns.  I got mine for
$48.  Levi plain vanilla style.  They are around, but you gotta look.
Also check in some of these new Factory Direct Outlet malls.  Every now 
and then Levi will open a store in such malls and they carry everything
at good prices.

Ride well covered,

According to the catalog I got yesterday in the mail:

WIND TRIANGLE
(or, Euclld's Face Fairing)
This is s simple, functional piece of
rider's clothing. Constructed of the
same materials used in our Wind
Scarf, the "Face Fairing" has a
velcro closure tab that adjusts to fit
all neck sizes. It can be worn in two
positions: like a cowboy outrider,
around the neck draped low to warm
and protect the throat and chest; or.
drawn over the nose and mouth
when protection from the elements
is needed( or when anonymity at
lending institutions or convience
stores is desireble).
Hypotenuse:24"; Base:16"
One siz fits all; Roual Blue.
W/Fleece:Cat.No. 511, $14
W/Ultrasuede:Cat.No. 515, $24

Basically it is a "cowboy" scarf with velcro instead
of tying a knot.

I am anxiously waiting for my 
Interesting Road Finder to arrive and want to try
it out this weekend, anyone else bought one yet ?

-> This weekend I talked to my BMW mechanic about gasohol since the BMW
-> manual that I have specifically says don't use gasohol. He said that

 I picked up a tank of something in New Mexico or Texas when I came back
from Colorado earlier this year.  It dissolved every piece of rubber in
the fuel system, and the bike finally spluttered to a stop in eastern
Oklahoma, dribbling gas from the petcock and all four carb vents.  It
made the other 200 miles in the back of my pickup truck.

 *Whatever it was* that had been added to that gas, the total came to:

        (1) petcock internal rubber valve       ($3)
        (1) petcock-to-tank O-ring              ($3)
      (all) rubber hoses                        ($2)
        (4) needle valve assemblies    (4@$25==$100)
        (1) boost equalizer valve             ($130)
        (1) fuel pump                          ($75)
                                            -----------
                                                $313.00

 If it was rubber, it was dissolved away or turned into nasty goo.  The
goo then got into the expensive parts and gummed up the boost valve and
fuel pump.  The carbs were also filled with black slime, but I got them
disassembled and the ick cleaned out before it solidified.

Well, I have no idea what FBI agents do but I can testify that getting shot
with one of these little 22's HURTS LIKE HELL (unfortunatly from personal 
experience) and is at least enough pain to distract a person from the task
at hand (like stealing your bike). Since it doesn't kill easily though I
would image that one would have to be prepared to shoot twice. It could
distract them from stealing your bike but then focus their attention on
killing you....

A rocking couple is a dynamic wobble.

Consider the crank for a 180-degree twin.  When one
crankpin is up, the other one is down.  It can have perfect
static balance:  spin it on its bearings, and it'll have
equal probability of stopping at any angle.  However,
Newton's third law still applies:  when the left crankpin
goes up, the left side of the crank pushes down on its
bearings and tries to cause the engine to rock down on the
left side.  At the same time, the right crankpin is moving
down and causing the right side of the engine to try to
move up in reaction.

In a 360-degree twin, both crankpins move up at the same
time, so the engine tries to hop up and down without
wobbling.  In a conventional flat-crank inline four, the
reactive forces are balanced symmetrically, so there's no
rocking couple.  Think of the four as two 180-degree twins
joined exactly out of phase, so they cancel each others'
rocking couples.  Or think of it as two coaxial 360-degree
twins, joined so one hops up to cancel the other hopping
down.  This is called perfect primary balance.

A friend of mine went through a no-helm-law state a few years
ago. At 100mph, wearing goggles, he took a June-Bug square 
on the nose.

His nose was broken, and the doctor in the next small town
spent about a half-hour picking bits if insect carapace out
of his face.

He did not drop the bike, but did comment that he was unsure
of whether or not he blacked out momentarily.

The June-Bug died of it's injuries.

If it is one of the newer Nighthawk 250s (I doubt it because of the "custom"
badge) then $1100 is probably close to book value, though more than I'd pay.
If it is an earlier CM/CB/CL then $1100 is *way* to much.  I regularly see
400s and 450s for $500 to $800.

Another thing to consider is stretching of the brake lines. Does the
bike have steel or rubber brake lines? Rubber line can weaken and when
heavy pressure is applied they stretch. The more frequently this
happens the more elastistic the brake line becomes, the mushier the
brakes become.

If there is no air in the lines and the fluid is OK then think about
replacing your brake lines.

That's what Cameron said, too.  This doesn't increase traction,
it does make it easier for the rider to sense the limits
of the available traction.

So.... next time you run into someone with a fully restored vintage Harley
you can't be sure if they ordered it from the Neiman Marcus catalog.

Shame Shame.

Is there a DoD Timing Light of Choice (TM) that
you use that you'd recommend for someone's shop
or tool tray? 

How many DoDers carry a mini-timing light  with
'em on their ride?
