what you need is some wit, the ability to craft a sentence properly, and the
further ability to make it *interesting*.  a two-wheeled vehicle to get
you on the road and *off the net* would also be useful, although more to the
newsgroup than to you.  might i suggest rich's mother's vespa?

Actually, the VMax with its realtively narrow v-4 should be a better handler
than other contemporary muscle bikes like the GS1100G and Zl1000 Eliminator.
Anybody have facts or experiences to back this up (or shoot it to hell) ?

At any rate, most roads with corners have straights too, and I'm not entirely
sure I'd want to challenge a VMax from say 55-100. Over 100 however it would
be a joke . . .

     I usually play blinky-blinky with the rear brake pedal.  After all,
the brake light comes on an 1/16th inch before the brakes engage --
they usually get the message after a few morse-coded "FUCK OFF"s.

yesterday, well, I bought a chopper...
ok, so it doesnt run, and wont for awhile...
but it is mine to rebuild (engine siezed)
it is:
Triumph '66 650 T120R Bonneville customized to a very low chopper (about
maybe 3 inches clearance)

ok, so it may not be much to look at now (looks like it was left
alone for a few years) but all the parts seem to be there, except for
the pipes...
I hope to rebuild this beast right (already spent more time this weekend 
reading the shop manual than my cs...)

if anyone in New England (I am around Dartmouth college) is interested 
in seeing it, let me know and we can arrange a visit...
(you gotta see the bayonet welded into the back rest)

this bike is very custom and I cant wait to start on it, just hope I can
remain focused enough to finish cs37(architecture)...

anyone recomend good literature on completely rebuilding a bike???

(oh yeah, the story how I ended up with the beast: a shop owner in manchester
rebuilds triumphs and has too many projects going on right now...I was
inquiring about a frame and he sold the bike for the price of the
frame $300...probably figures he'll make it up in parts)

Seriously,  I figure that if I'm going to put myself on a 
relatively vulnerable vehicle on the battleground that poses
as our streets, I want to be on vehicle that will give me a good
chance of dealing with said traffic hazards.  A motorcycle is 
typically more manueverable than a cage, can fit in smaller
spaces, can accelerate VERY quickly, and can stop better than the
average cager in the average cage.  With a scooter you give up some 
of these advantages (they don't accelerate as well, stop as well,
or handle as well).

>I don't have money for a motorcycle. So I am looking to buy a scooter.
>I think it's a good way to get around the city. Any suggestions?

Why don't you have the money for a motorcycle?  Based on my experience,
you could probably get a motorcycle, helmet, insurance, and take the 
MSF course for less than you'd pay for a scooter.  Nice used Japanese
standard bikes can be bought for around $500, as $150 for a helmet,
$150-$250 for liability insurance, and maybe $50 for the MSF course
depending on where you are.  If you have more money then buy a good
leather jacket and leather pants, gloves, etc...

If I'm correct, a used scooter (at least a 250) will probably cost more
than that...

I dunno, I've never noticed the problem myself.  Well... Actually I

   Aha! Range derivative velocity measurement.  Normally used in pulsed
systems where round-trip return time is measured over several pulse
periods.  The sensitivity and accuracy of this type of system is
dependant on the amount of average energy reflected from the target,
lots of energy producing good signal-to-noise ratio and accurate
numbers.  Unfortunately, short pulses produce the least range
uncertainty and long pulse periods produce the longest measurable
ranges.  These conspire to reduce the duty cycle of the transmitter, and
therefore reduce the amount of average energy directed to the target.
   Pulsed radars solve this problem by having enormous peak power
output (100's to 1000's of kW), not feasible with a baby laser in
a squad car.  The only other way is to measure many pulse-to-pulse
range changes and average them, taking longer to achieve an
accurate result.
   The same thing can be done with a continuous wave system by frequency
modulating the transmitter and using frequency domain signal processing
in the receiver.  Way too expensive.

   The Doppler stuff still works quite nicely on light (ask an
astronomer), but apparantly the the junk that the police use does not
operate on that principal.  Normal ol' cop radar does, however.

I have little experience myself but I vaguely remember someone posting
about kerosene being harmfull not because it harms the o-rings but
because it washes out the factory grease sealed in by the o-rings. I
think they recomended wiping the chain down with a rag slightly soaked
in kerosene but not soaking the chain in a bath of it.

While up at the local dealer yesterday -it was raining, 
what else was I supposed to be doing- I noticed a used 199?
Suzuki VX800 for sale.  They are asking about $3800 and the bike
has about 2800 miles.

What does the net know about this bike.  Is is a good bike? (ie.
comfortable on long rides, reliable, worth the price...)

Please E-mail me, Any info would be appreciated.
