Our site suddenly stopped carrying ba.moto, so this is to the national
group but with ba distribution.

If you're not going to Lissa's on Hallowe'en, how about taking in a wild
concert/party in Berkeley?

Where: LaVal's Subterranean, 1834 Euclid, Berkeley

When: October 31st, 10:30-?

What: Annwn -- the Bay Area's up-and-coming Celtic trad/rock fusion band --
plays "The Hero's Journey" (you've heard of concept albums, this is a
concept concert).  From 10:30 to about midnight, it will be straight
party, with a costume contest and neat prizes (free pizza, drinks,
albums, t-shirts, and (I love this) Annwn beer mugs).  Then, around
midnight, the concert starts.

How much: $3 cover, no minimum bar purchase...


Yes, this is a shameless plug.  I'm in the band.  But it *is* a
moto-relevant plug: we're aiming to play the Joust next year, so
consider this an audition!

Cheers,

Two bikes.  My friends 1981, which wobbled like crazy from the day he bought
it, and another owner I talked to with unknown year/milage.  Good to hear
yours was ok.

Another item was that they definiatly like premium gasoline to prevent

The wind is so loud on a bike a wear earplugs, which doesn't exactly
improve one's hearing.  I vividly recall watching a cager lock 'em up
on 101, and thinking how wierd it was that I saw all that blue smoke
coming off his tires, but didn't hear a sound.

I suppose I've been too conditioned by bad TV, that inserts the sound
of tires squeeling around every corner, in the DIRT, or on SNOW!!!!

Wrong.  They can only sell bikes to people that want to buy them.  Just
because they sell every Harley bike they make now does not mean they
can sell 7 sportsbikes.

Lemme guess, Finance 101?

American Airlines has sold more tickets this summer than anytime in
their history.  They lost ~$3 billion.

Yep.

Assumption 1: expanded facilities + more workers = higher production.
Plausable, but far from axiomatic.

Assumption 2: they can sell all the sports bikes they can build.
Ludicrous.

Assumption 3: more sales == more money.
Ever heard of American Airlines?

Hmm.  I've never been flipped off by any of the motorcyclists
I've passed on my bicycle on descents.  I think that they're
usually too amazed to get upset.  I did have one guy on an R100RS
try to catch me- he'd gain ground on the straights, and lose
in the corners.  Neither he nor I felt we were being unsafe, it

I don't have a problem *sharing* the road with motorcyclists...I do
get pissed when motorcyclists *hog* the road by not leaving me
my fair share of it and using me as an apex marker.
If they're totally obnoxious about it I'd be tempted to knock

This again?  Zanghi has been releasing this announcement for the last

three brand-spankin'-new 1993 Indians by now: a titanium block 1265cc
Chief with ABS braking, a 750cc cafe racer called the Warrior TT and a
dirt bike for the export market, as well as a twenty-five,
40,000 square-foot, factory-owned dealerships.

Since then, reports have suggested that Zanghi doesn't own rights to
build Indian motorcycles, just marketing rights to the trademark which
he's used aggressively to sell overpriced clothing with the Indian logo,
which appears to be his real intention.  A Carmen DeLeone owns the rights
that Zanghi must have to build a new motorcycle bearing the Indian logo.
Zanghi hopes to stoke the market with anticipation of a revived Indian
motorcycle but he's failed to produce documentation to prove that there's
even a business plan to build them, let alone the $100 million in
financing needed to start it up.

the abrasion resistance of outerwear..Does the MSF

Hodaka and in the first 2 weeks I spent as much time
picking myself and the bike up as I did riding it (I got
it for xmas and it snowed heavy that year) but it was fun
taking it out on the neighbors pond, it was good for the
leg muscles. Then it was on to Bultacos and a nice 250

Greeves and have had no luck finding one, anyone know of
any "older" motorcycle sales publications. For cars it is

Oops, that should read "Demise of _a_ Harley-Davidson".  Sorry
if I caused any heart attacks out there....

I haven't seen any other comment yet - just saw the latest episode
of Northern Exposure last night.  For those who haven't seen it,
and have it on tape, hit "n" now!

Anyhow, in retribution for accidentally killing two pets belonging to
a new love interest, Chris In the Morning and said female pushed his
Harley over the side of a cliff.  Awesome sight.  Mind you, I hate to
see any perfectly good bike destroyed, be it Harley or otherwise,
but there was a visceral thrill to the whole thing.  Sad part was, they
did it in two takes....  The side view showed the bike going over
the edge and the front wheel, bars, and steering head detatched themselves
from the bike on impact.  (I wonder, though, if it was specially
prepared to do so...  I don't recall seeing any cables from the bars
to the frame.)  When the bike rolled to a stop at the bottom of the
hill (rolled in the literal sense, like a James T. Kirk shoulder roll....)
the front wheel was magically reconstituted with the rest of the bike.
Any vidiots who happened to tape this are invited to check and see if
this was, in fact, two bikes.

I don't know why this was so satisfying to watch.  Sort of like watching
old films of steam locomotives colliding head on.  Or watching hockey
games in the hopes that a bench-clearing brawl breaks out.

anyhow....

It refers to Harley Davidson's disputed patent on the concept of
mechanical support for a motorcyclist's feet and legs.  HD claim they
stole the design, meanwhile BMW and Kawasaki are sueing HD for look and

What I'd like to see is a 4 stroke piston engine in which the valves are
opened/closed either electrically or hydraulically where the timing/lift/
duration is microcomputer controlled so that various "electronic camshaft
profiles" may be switched dynamically while the beast is running to suit the

  I'll buy you 2 cases of Sam Adams if you'll deliver it to me.

  Actually, it's probably worth a fair sum if you can make it run.  I think
it's eligible for vintage roadracing .. which raises its value.  Am I right
Dave or Mike?

On my Nighthawk 250, I currently have some imitation leather saddlebags which
can hold quite a bit, and also a Sharp bag. The Sharp bag is a sippered thing
a little larger than a backpack, with a top handle and tiedowns through the
bottom. The cool thing is, you lash it behind your seat with the tiedowns for
transit, and then you can unlash it and carry it with the top handle, making
it a nice way of carrying documents or other things you might want to carry
off your bike when you get where you're going.

I work for an airport shuttle, so I use the Sharp bag to carry my map books
and receipts and log sheets for work, all consolidated in one place.

I haven't gotten a tank bag just yet - haven't felt the need, but that's
another possibility.
