I hope that someday I will feel comfortable enough on a motorcycle
that I feel I don't need to wear a helmet and leather jacket.

I hope that when that day comes, I will be smart enough to wear them
anyway.

Summary: I want it all.

Does anyone know of a publication that describes what the new year will
bring in the way of motorcycles?  I am thinking about buying one soon
but I am curious about new features like ABS, etc...  The truth is I
would like a bike that is around 750-1000cc, water cooled, shaft
driven, fairly light weight, w/ABS, sport style fairing.  I know about
the BMW K75RS but it is a little pricy for me.  Also, Yamaha has a
better ABS system on their FJ1200.   If you have a suggestion I would
be glad to read it.

BTW, please respond to the e-mail address listed below.

Why?  Are you giving away money for free?  If I were to get another bike, 
I'd ride it while rebuiding YoMaha!'s engine, and thoroughly going over the
frame, etc.  It'd be nice to have a stable mate for YoMaha!(tm).

>Does this mean that 157,000 miles is the limit for Yomaha!? 

Nope.

>Will he now ride on the beltline in the rain?  

For those of you who are familiar within the Chicago area, I will ride
on the Dan (Damn) Ryan Expressway in almost any weather.  I have also
regularly ridden the Borman Expressway through Northern Indiana (read:
Rustbelt) on a very regular basis.  Both of these roads have extraordinarily
high traffic loads.

The locals in Raleigh make riding on the beltline in the rain the most
dangerous route I've ever had the opportunity to traverse, and unless you
enjoy being a pinball, I very greatly suggest you not ride the north side
of the Raleigh Beltline, which is presently under construction, in the wet.
These people have no understanding of traction and have less sense than the
usual brain-dead cager.  So I ride the backroads instead of "hitting" the 
I-440 beltline.

Wait till you're caught on the beltline in the rain during rush-hour, Martyn.
They'll need to surgically remove your pucker from the seat.  Might as well
burn your underwear afterwards, too.

You err.  :-)

Randy, you may wish to avert your eyes, FACTS follow. :-)
======================================================================
In the Sept. 1988 issue of Cycle they "road tested" several grades of
leather, nylon and Kevlar. They call 3 oz leather "competition weight".
Also tested were 2.25 oz suede and 1.75 oz "fashion weight" leather.

At 50 mph the results were:
3 oz leather		86'  0" 
Kevlar			22'  1" 
Codura Nylon		18'  3"
Denim, 2 year old	 4' 0.5"
1.75 oz leather		 4'  4"
2.25 oz suede		 4'  3"
Denim, new		 3' 10"
Ballistic Nylon		 3' 10"

The results were a bit different on an abrasion tester, but the overall
ranking was 3 oz leather, then the synthetics, and far behind those were
denim and thin leather.
======================================================================
I _really_ think I need to put this in my .signature.

If you're attached to your skin, and would like to maintain that status,
do yourself a favor and look up the article and read it. The numbers say
a lot, but the pictures of the failed materials and the descriptions of
the failures say a lot more. For instance, Ballistic Nylon had pretty
good wear characteristics on the abrasion tester, but the coarse weave
caught and tore in the road test.

You have an attitude alright, you pathetic excuse, but what you don't
have is any shred of imagination.  Everybody else who has a DoD number 
had to get it by the blood of their brow and the exercise of their
little grey cells, which you, clearly, feel you have no need to use.
You lurk around here for however long it's been, then swagger in and
demand a number like it's only your due, insulting the membership the

I don't buy this.  The obvious example is the national 55 mph speed
limit, enacted to *conserve gasolene*.  HOV lanes have nothing to do
with safety, they are attempts at social engineering via the vehicle
code (and carry some of the stiffest fines on the books).  Another
example are the stop signs in the middle of the street, no cross road,
no pedestrian crossing, nothing but a stop sign in the middle of the
block (neighborhoods west of Winchester Blvd & North of Hamilton Ave,
South Bay).  These are there, not for safety, but because the residents
don't want traffic in their neighborhood, and had the political clout
to get the signs installed.  Anti-cruising ordinances in San Jose are
not for safety, they exist because local merchants complained loudly
enough.  Anti-lane-splitting laws and helmet laws have little to
nothing to do with safety.

The vast majority of speed limits are *not* established for safety
reasons, using the 80th percentile rule (or whatever it is), they are
artificially lowered for revenue generation.  The vast majority of
tickets written are not the result of unsafe operation of a motor
vehicle, they result from speed traps.

But is that the long version with Mr. Guthrie telling the story of how
he came to write the "Motorcycle Song"?  The song itself is pretty
weak in my opinion, but the story of how he came to write it (
while going over a cliff, doing well over 105 mph, while playing
his guitar, and squishing a cop car) is worth a lot more than $10.
If the song is only 3 minutes, then it's just the song.

There must be a million of you out there, who have installed
aftermarket pipes and bigger carb jets in your bikes. My question
is: did it make a noticable difference (other than making the bike
very loud and obnoxious)? I have a '91 rice burner, and I'm wondering
what I can do to add some power to it - for under $1000. Nitrous
runs out too soon, so that one's out. And I don't want to make any
major internal mods (boreing the cylinder, etc.)
Please either reply to me, or at least CC me, since there are so many
postings on rec.motorcycles that the next time I read it, any reply
woulda been long gone.
Also, if you could give me advice on which aftermarket pipe you think
works best for a small (400cc) high reving (14,000rpm) water cooled
engine, I'd much appreciate it.

Much thanks in advance,

>pretty well, but they didn't come in my rim size. Any recommendations?

It's too bad that they don't fit, because I relly like them and I don't know
of anyone else who makes them.

I like the Bridgestone Spitfires. We have the sport touring (model 11) in the 
back and the sport (model 17) in the front because the sport touring did not
come in the rim size we needed for the front. Bridgestone recommended this
combination and it works really well. The tires don't square off nearly as
much and they still feel pretty good in the corners. We used to ride
exclusively on Metzelers, but after getting a flat on a two-week old tire,
we decided to try the Bridgestones for a fraction of the price. For the type
of riding we do (mostly commuting, some twisties for fun) Metzelers are too
expensive, wear out too fast (the sport touring ones, the last one was a
Metronic) and are not good enough to be worth the extra bother.
