What are the implications of buying a bike on the east coast and then
moving to CA.  If i go buy a Seca II and then get a job in CA how much
will it cost me to retrofit it to CA standards??  

I can't wait any longer.  I'm ready for my next bike and i don't feel
like waiting for my life to sort itself out.
Any suggestions, pros and cons of buying bike on either coast wanted.

Thanks

after getting shot by radar in AZ i bought a detector.  seemed like an easy
choice ("would have paid for it by now, etc").  spent the rest of the trip
slowing down for burgler alarms.  ;-) decided i didn't need it in CA and have not
ridden with it since.  still don't know how it will react to a "real" hit.

however, one day (and only one) on a whim i put it in the car and drove to work
with it on.  lot of burgler alarms on the way to work too.  500 yards from the
parking lot the thing went crazy and i hit the brakes.  i was going so slowly by 
the time i finally saw him that i could clearly see his pissed off expression.
so it's "half" paid for now.  ;-)

the CHP disdains radar for the most part.  i've talked to guys who claim they like
to frighten the cars by pointing hair dryers out the window!  it's the county
mounties who like to hang out behind trees around curves (and the army base MPs too),
and brake lights usually aren't around in those areas to help out.  

i still think it's useful, but with planes and infrared it won't keep you clean
if you don't use your head.

Ever thumb the choke lever when the bike was aormed up and idling

I did it in the middle of an intersection, with a large impatient

The usual yardstick is that a belt will last as long as a top quality
chain which has been extremely well cared for, lubed once every 300 miles,
never been wet etc. Belt life can be up to FIVE times longer than a
neglected chain.

I'm very surprised to hear this. Belts usually cause a negligeable amount
of wear on the sprockets because the material is softer (and doesn't have
lumps of road grot stuck to it) and the contact area is much greater.

As far as replacement belts go, places like Swan Bearing Factors stock
a variety of sizes and can usually make you one up on special order.
The Ducati Owners Club order batches of camshaft drive belts direct from 
the manufacturer. So there are alternatives to paying an arm and a leg.

You should consider using Small Claims Court to collect the

generally small (~$10) and neither party is permitted to use a lawyer
in court.  I used it successfully in a similar situation here.

Organization: Chemistry Dept., Harvard University

I am still reselling the triangular retroreflective MSF stickers at my
cost.  The large (or 3") stickers are $0.60 each, the smaller 2.5"
decals come in strings of three and cost $1.20 per string.  To order,
send enough self-addressed stamped envelopes for your order to be
returned.  List the specific items wanted, and send the envelopes and
money to:

	Jerry Lotto
	7 Bolton St.
	Somerville, MA  02143

The decals are retroreflective white triangles with a red border.  The
design in the center is a front view of a m/c and rider in black.
They read "Motorcycle Safety Foundation" across the top in black.  The
large triangles measure 3" on a side, the small ones are 2.5" and come
in a string of 3.  They were designed for increased conspicuity and to
address the requirement in many states for 4" square retroflective
material on the helmet.  These are Scotch brand decals and will
stretch nicely to conform to the curved surface of a helmet.

Any overpayment will be donated to the AMA museum.  Return envelopes
with insufficient postage may not make it back to you.  About five
decals fit in an envelope.  The small decal strings are long enough
that I recommend a business size envelope if you want some of these.
Since I keep a bunch of these stickers on-hand anyway, I am happy to
continue this for as long as there is interest.

Hey y'all--Listen up!!!
 
It's actually gonna happen, the Great Pacific Northwest Dryside Gather.
 
You've heard of the Joust, the Denver Feed, well here is the GPNG!
Vic Swan and I had so much fun at the Joust last year, we decided to
host a gather in this part of the world.  We've had a local group of
folks more or less in contact for a couple of months now (the Jiggles
Run was a part of the activities of the GPNG).  We've got our camping
location confirmed and it is once again time to have a call for riders.
 
Date: Aug. 14, 15, 16
 
Place: Clear Lake campground near White Pass on US Highway 12 in the
       Cascades.
 
Cost:  $10. per person.  This might go up just a tad depending on
       exactly how we manage food.
 
We have a beautiful campsite on Rimrock Lake (yeah I _know_ it's the Clear
Lake campgrounds, don't bug me with details).  This group site holds
about 30 people.  The total Clear Lake facility will hold perhaps 300.
The first 30 folks who register will stay in the group site, any beyond
the first thirty will have to find  a campsite in the area.  Finding
such a campsite won't be any big deal.
 
The area is marvelous.  Rim Rock Lake is a long, narrow lake (well it's a
lake when there is water in it, we are in the middle of a draught--all
our water went to southern CA this year--and it's a beautiful, open
meadow right now.)
 
Great roads, and snow-caps mountains.  Day trips will include
circumnavigating Mt. Rainier, Mt. St. Helen's (or what's left of it)
and a bunch of twisties in between.
 
There will be minimal organization, I mean this _is_ a DoD gig.  In
general food prep will be based on efficient and courteous self service.
This might change as we explore local options during our scouting trip
tentatively planned for the latter part of July.
 
If you are interested in coming please send me a request to
GPNG@wsuvm1.csc.wsu.edu.  NOTE: this posting is not originating from
that account! We'll get you on the mailer and you can participate in the
planning and discussions.  Right now we are trying to determine if
Martin--No Harley yet--Golding is really gonna bring his new Ducati, or
one of his humming Beemers.  If you aren't interested in coming, but
simply want to ease-drop on a bunch of weird folk planning a gather,
that's ok too.

A friend of mine has a '86 Yamaha XT350 that's going to need
some major engine work.  Seems he ran it without oil and
burned up the crankshaft, etc.  The shop quoted him $600+ 
to rebuild the engine, which is basically not an option.  

I've offered to help him with this project, but we'd like 
to hear from anyone who is familiar with the XT before
we begin.  (He may decide to just sell it as a parts bike
if the task seems to difficult or expensive, but right now
he's willing to invest a few Ben Franklins to gain some
hands-on wrenching experience even if the outcome is less
than a complete success.)

Ideally, we're hoping someone out there has a strong XT350
engine available, or knows where we can get one.  We've
made a first pass check of the local salvage yards and
struck out.  Rumor has it that any XT350 engine from '86 on
is compatible, and maybe even back a few years.  Anybody
know for certain?

sun out here in Oregon has one. It looks like it would work
great in deep slop, but also looks like it would be destroyed in
less then 5 miles of hard terrain. Personally I want a tire that
lasts next to forever. Anyone got a solution?

Jeff,
     The Bridgestone M22 is a hard terrain tire but it works great in medium
terrain and lasts a long time.  Bridgestone's intermediate tire is the M52,
which may have a different model # for 19 inch.  This is one of my favorite
tires bacause it works so well in all conditions and lasts long.  I ride a
CR250 though, so it's prabably a little easier on things like rear tires and
llamas.

Jeff,

I have had the same problems with rear tires on my XR. Until I switched
to Terra Flex 6.35 x 18. Not only is it the largest off road tire
available but it is 6-ply, steel belted, 50% larger knobs and made in
america (Dick Cepek). It costs more that a Dunlop (~$87) but it lasts
more than twice as long as the K695AT desert Dunlops I was using. So its
one of those things that costs more but is higher quality (kinda sounds
like a certain co. eh?) and lasts longer. You can get them from
Chapparal in San Bernadino (and mail order).

Sorry I won't make it to Moab this year.

I was wondering if you dirt types could offer some advice to a
two-stroke streeter.  

I have a set of expansion chambers (Spec II) on my RD400 and I'm
considering copying them in stainless steel.  There is, however one
part of the chambers I would like to do differently, the mufflers.
The mufflers on my current pipes are a bit louder than I'd like them
to be, and I've seen aftermarket dirt bike mufflers in catalogs that I
could perhaps be adapted.

So, could anyone recommend a particular muffler or brand of muffler
that is a bit quieter and still flows well for a 200cc cylinder?
