I have had similar problems with Collegetown Magazine.  It has been 1.5 years, and I still have 
not seen my "free" subscriptions, however I did get the Bill from him for my order
for Parents magazine immediately.  (And to be fair, I have received the magazines I have

	Anyone know which of Kryptonite's locks is better? I see two different
	versions in the Dennis Kirk catalog:

	1) cable lock: seems easier to deal with, but it is just a cable
	
	2) U-shaped locks: more of a pain in the ass, but looks more solid;
		has theft guarantee which implies they think it's hot shit, 
		despite the fact that the guarantee is invalid in NYC;
		can be frozen and broken relatively easily.

	I don't have a spectacular bike, but it's all I can afford and don't
	want to have to a buy a new one (or pay for the analysis I would be
	forced to enroll in if I couldn't ride). Please post or mail any
	opinions on these as soon as possible, as Dennis Kirk and my 
	mastercard await...

I think we mostly agree on this. Your point about keeping moving is well taken.
(motorcyclists split lanes at stop signs for the same reason; to keep from
being rear-ended).

So, if you'll bear in mind that people seeing you go slowy at a stop sign
may still expect to see you come to a complete stop, I'll try to remember
why you might not want to do so on all occasions (actually, I'll bear that in
mind no matter what you do :-))

You will get scalloping on the front tire from using the front brakes
primarily. When most of the stopping power is transfered to the rubber
of the front tire, and it is a bit underinflated, the rubber flexes.
The flex action (sidewalls) will cause the tire contour to change a bit
and this rubs (like an eraser) a bit of the rubber off the front
(leading edge) of the tire surface. That's how it was described to me!!

Welcome to America, Stuart, where everyone has an opinion and expects you to  
live your life by their standards!!

Jeez, the guy asks a simple question in a friendly manner and this phil jumps  
all over him, "...IMHO, you shouldn't be licenced at all!" Stuart just said he  
had a UK license, he must know how to ride, he just doesn't want to have to  
waste his precious vacation? time dealing with the beauracracy. Give him a  
break!

Also, isn't licensing in the UK much more stringent than anything we've got  
here?

Stuart, if I had any relevant information I would certainly pass it on, I'm  
sure someone here will. Please be assured that we in the US are not *all* such  
self-righteous twits as this phil guy, whoever he is.

Good luck and I hope you have a wonderful trip, 4 months!, sounds like fun!

Phil: Thanks for sharing you humble opinion with us, now go get a life of your  
own.

-> used EX,etc.

 Measure the length and height of the engine, and the offset of the
sprocket.  Measure the chassis.  If the engine is longer than the hole
in the chassis, you'll have to do surgery, and if it's taller, the same.
Sprocket offsets tend to be similar, you might have to shift the engine
an inch or so either way to line it up with the rear wheel.

 You'll have to have clearance between the lower triple clamp and the
radiator, and the wheel and the radiator.  You may have to bend the
rear brake lever to clear the clutch.  The shifter may require
modification.  The charging and ignition system (black box) will have to
be adapted.  Check for chain-to-swingarm-pivot clearance, as the new
engine's drive sprocket may be higher or lower than the original.  Also,
you may have to change at least one sprocket to match the chain width of
the other.

 You'll need to fabricate the mounts, of course.

 Any time I ride more than 45 minutes or so, I put my plugs in.  The

old Yamaha helmet, and my ears ring after a long ride.

 I just delivered my old D/MOD SCCA autocrosser to its excited buyer in
Colorado Springs, CO.  I towed the Yamaha with a U-Haul.  The car is
street legal, but only because my state has no muffler laws.  I wore the
plugs all the way in the car, and then all the way back to Little Rock

Really? your RZ350 wouldn't lift off in 1st gear? Bizarre. Most  recent
sport bikes have the engine as far forward as possible to prevent this
sort of behavior. If you ride, say, an 86 or 87 GSXR1100 you'll find
that merely pulling thru 1st at full throttle will have the front wheel
blocking your view of the road by redline. These are about the most
wheelie prone recent sportbike I've ridden!  A friend of mine got a
90 FZR1000, which would just skim the front wheel as it pulled thru first.
he geared it up 4 teeth on the back sprocket and now it'll
flip unless you roll off. Amazing..
Ride an old GSXR1100 and get back to us!

I ask those of you who, on reading the title of this article,
thought "what's a BSA?" or even "what's a thumper?",
to please exit.

     To those who remain I must sadly report:
     there is no such beast as a "1988 BSA thumper".
 
As I watch the Japanese crotch-rockets blasting the circuits,
I am suffused with a distilled sense of wonder, and I marvel;
these men and women are so skilled, perfect machines riding on
perfect machines.  Their bikes are precision instruments built by
precision instruments, sold in their multitude to the techno-dazed.

About ten years ago, I was out earholing on a norton-racer-road in
coastal Marin county (north of San Francisco) on my '75 Commando.
Rolled up to a stop sign.  A guy on an old 500cc BSA thumper came
around the corner facing me, leaned through the corner, dialed up
the wick, and thumped on up the hill.  I shut nort down to listen
to the sound of that long-stroke single haul that hill.  I was 
thrilled; I could feel the sound through the soles of my boots.
All these years later, when I remember that sound, that fine sound,
I choke, and tears fill my eyes.  As that quiet thump, thump,
thump, faded up the hill, me and nort sat and thought of dinosaurs.
It was a good day to think about dinosaurs, one of those crisp,
perfect Marin autumn days.  Back then, me and my dinosaur could
still swat the Japanese flies buzzing around the hills, those
primordial crotch-rockets, awesome machines that have come to be
so strong, strong enough to eat me and nort for breakfast.

These ten years gone, I'm now flogging that British oil-bath around
the Rockies.  But the king is dead (long live the king!), and
I'm the dinosaur now, breathing the last breath of extinction;
fading quietly, thump, thump, thump up that hill.  But I wonder,
where went the soul, where went the art, where went the heart?

Hmm, I noticed that one person suggests changing the oil....oh well.
Not being very familiar with Japanese hardware I'm just curious if 
a 1981 Yamaha XS1100 has a kick starter or not.  The reason I ask is
that my ancient (1977) pile o' British technology requires that the
operator go through an exercise know as "clearing the clutch" where 
you pull in the clutch lever and kick the bike over a few times until
the clutch plates free up and the kick starter moves freely. (Bike on
centerstand and in neutral of course.)
So, if your Yamaha has a kick starter on it you might want to give 
this a try - If not you might try (cautiously) the same procedure 
using the electric starter and just giving the starter button a couple 
of slight "blips" which should accomplish the same thing.

Just a thought from harried mind of

I don't know if they are still available, but several years ago I bought
a Maxim cable lock. This monster makes the Kryptonite cable lock look
like a $1.69 bicycle lock. The cable is about 1" in diameter, and clad
in heavy plastic so it won't scratch the bike. The cable is terminated
at each end with a steel cylinder about 2" in diameter, and it locks by
plugging the male & female cylinder halves together and inserting a
locking cylinder. The cable is about 6' long, and its thickness does
make it a bit unwieldy. With a bit of wrestling it will fold into a
double loop that's about 1.5-2' in diameter, but it does have a definite
tendancy to uncoil. The Maxim fits nicely into one of my Krauser
saddlebags, but it would be a bit clumsy to carry around if you don't
have some luggage. The length is nice, right now it is anchoring my dirt
bike, Quad, and the Quad's second set of rear tires. If my memory can be
trusted, I bought it from Donnelson Cycle.
