This was my favorite part. I am appropriating the title of
Keeper of the Dumpy old Dual. There are older, smaller, and
dumpier duals out there (hi noemi!), but I called for it first.
When Barry B. gets ready to blow by me my DoDual will thank him
by dumping some oil, in case he needs to lubricate his tires.

Barbie, Ken, Others;

	I'm sure the better percentage of you are at this very moment
contemplating ways in which you can assist me in some way. Well I am
at this very moment in need of your sound, expert, concise, and rather
insightful knowledge.

	I've never to this day seen a motorcyclist hauling a bicycle on
a trailer. My desire is to do just that. My handicap is that my grasp
of motorcycling physics, and non-chrome accessories, is on the level of
Dan Quales knowledge of domestic policy. A few stats about my moto to
help your replies.

1) It's of no specific brand name that really matters one way or the other.
2) It's 1340cc, wieghs ~750 lbs.
3) Battle Hymn?!? Arlo Guthrie?!? The fuckin Cub Scouts are thinking about
   takin us on. Think Metal.
4) I'de like to build it if possible rather than buy one for $13,456.
5) My bicycle whieghs 27lbs and I'de really like to cart around two.
6) I'm not really quite sure how to spell wheighs.

golden spectro comes in dinosaur and synthetic flavors.  i would guess, not
owning a bmw, that the dealer's 'gs' oil is the all-natural type.  the mail-
order stuff, at ~$4.50 per quart, is synthetic.  as dino-oils go, see ed

I ride an "older" bike (Triumph) and I will say that the engine does run 
smoother and seem cooler but that could be subjective.  At any rate I run
10-w-40 in the bike and initially there was some leakage around the seals
and gaskets but even this seems to have ceased within the last couple of
rides.  Has anyone else noticed anything similar?

the BMW motorcycle battery charger that comes free with every BMW

can be had for about $35. probably on the high end of the price

they will do certain things, so long as they don't involve 'handling'
the mcy.  you can get gas, a battery start, etc., but don't expect 
them to do mcy-specific stuff.  i don't know if they will tow a bike, 
but i suspect not.  how about giving them a call and asking?

before i moved from chicago to god's country, i spent a good bit of
riding time in precip, snow, rain, sleet, even hail.  i used to wear
two liners inside my leather gloves: 1) a pair of plain white cotton
gloves, covered by 2) a pair of disposable surgical gloves (the kind
that come 100pr for $3 at walgreens).  these extra two layers were
also warm, which helps, since a wet glove tends to be a cold glove.

i tried a number of kinds of vinyl gloves on the outside of my
leather gloves and came to the conclusion that none of the 
possibilities are particularly workable; if the outside glove is
heavy enough to keep water out and big enough to get on over decently
heavy motorcycle gloves, you can't feel much through it.

It should certainly be possible for a 5'4" 125-pound woman to set a
CM400 upright.  Use her lower body strength.

And to second the opinion of some other respondents, enroll your
girlfriend in the MSF course; it will be at least as cost-effective as
your $585 + $100 cost for practice bike + repairs.

	My, we're an etymological lot lately, aren't we?  I was going to post
my guess on this but luckily I looked it up in the Macquarie first (I can't
keep going across to the library to the Compact Oxford :-).

petcock: n. a small valve or tap, as for draining off excess or waste material
from the cylinder of a steam-engine or for checking the water-level in a
boiler. [PET(TY)+COCK(1)]

cock(1): n. ... 6. a device for permitting or arresting the flow of a liquid
or gas from a receptacle or through a pipe; a tap or stop valve.

	Oh yeah, my mistaken assumption was that it came from pet(rol)+cock.

OK, so I heared alot about how a VMAX (I like to clasify
it as a chopper) compares to a ZX11 and even DUccati (!) 
(which I like to classify as touring/sports bikes).

Now are there any ahm Shadow (and whatever the equivalents
are from other manufacturers) out there. I think in my case
my SO definitly prefers a VMAX type of backseet (we are the type
the will take it to the ice-cream stand :^).
I read a lot about the bad cornering of the VMAX. Now how bad is
it really ? What exectly is so bad about it ? I've never
ridden such a havy chopper, however have pleanty of expirience
riding sport bikes & enduros of wich both seemed to handle
in most situations (they where build for) very well.
What are the equivalent of other manufacturers to the VMAX ?
OK, I know about the Shadow 1100 for Honda, what else is out there ?

Thanks again to everybody for the followups !!!

Buy it fast, while it still says Zephyr. According to Independent Biker

name 'Zephyr' (there's a Mercury Zephyr? apparently). All unsold and future
Kawasaki Zephyrs in the U.S. must be renamed. I guess they figure that

R is for research of course, and M is for motor method. R+M over 2
gives you the average of research and motor method.  Motor method
is more conservative (shows lower octane for the same fuel) and is/was
used for aviation fuel.  It involves actually running the fuel in
a special single cylinder, variable compression motor until it
knocks.  The newer rating for car fuel is therefore somewhat more
conservative than the old research only car fuel rating.

Bottom line--R+M rating is fine for older research only rated vehicles
of the same rating.

Just curious...if you are a AAA member and your
bike dies, will they provide tow service? I mean
will they bring a tow truck out (the flatbed type)
and pick up your bike?  How about dead batteries?
Will they come and jump start your bike for you?
Strange question but I'm wondering if anyone
has had any experience with this since I've never
heard of a similiar service for motorcycles....
and heaven forbid, will they come out if you
lock your keys in your bike? ;-) ....

Once you are above the required octane to avoid detonation, there will
be little power change--unless you are able to use more ignition
timing advance.  On the other hand, if your engine is marginal on
detonation, and is retarded to run on inadequate fuel, then
re-timing it can give great results.  In my Drag racing days we used
106 octane with 10-12 degrees more initial advance.  There was 
115/145 octane (motor method) Avgas, worked well in the 12 1/2 to
one 426's, but would burn the exhaust valves if used for long in
9 or 10 to 1 compression engines.  The higher octane fuel burns
SLOWER at the same compression as regular fuel.  Some low compression
engines would actually lose power on avgas unless the timing was
advanced.  would like to have experimented with the 300 octane level
triptane--but you would need very high combustion pressures
(high compression or high turbo boost).
