When I first discovered the low fuel light on the VFR, I was a little
taken aback... didn't expect it at all. Now I really love it: it comes on
when there's 1.1 gallons left in the tank, the reserve is at 1 gallon. 

Perfect. Just enough time to flip the petcock over to reserve.

Almost as good as the clear fuel level windows on my Ducati tank. ;)

OK, I've been living here for four years but I've only been riding a
bike for six months, so I need a couple of recommendations. I live in
west San Jose, and work in Mountain View.

1) I am helmet-shopping. I would like to look at the Arai line, the
Shoei X8, and the BMW 3-series (the one that jaws open in the front
so you can take it on and off without removing sunglasses). Before
I just start cold-calling Cycle Salvage and Road Rider and Grand
Prix and... I'd like to get recommendations for places that carry
any of these helmets and on their pricing.

2) I would like to get the most recent issues of several of the
cycle mags to check out the prices and accessories advertised there.
I have found it difficult (after an admittedly cursory search) to find
these mags. Any suggestions on bookstores that carry a wide selection?

Thanks for saving me some legwork and dialing time!

George, it wasn't Cal Cycles that screwed up Mike's Magna, it was
Cycle Connection.  They also routed the battery overflow tube
incorrectly and the acid ruined the chrome on his pipes.

First, thanx to everyone who responded to my post. Of the ones I called
today, here are the results:

Jack Flesher of State Farm hasn't returned my call yet, but a Palo Alto
   State Farm quoted me $154/6 months for 25/50/25 coverage on the
   Cagiva for liability *and* COmprehensive & Collision. Yes, $154.
   And that includes a one time $17 membership fee. Whee!

Paul Woodson Insurance: With a 20% transfer discount, and a 10% Safety
   Course discount, a 15/30/15 policy was $298 for the abovestated
   coverage, plus $100 for uninsured motorists. Plus $20 processing
   fee. Plus $30 processing fee for an additional policy if I wanted
   additional coverage beyond 15/30/15. I didn't bother finding out 
   how much the extra coverage would cost.

McGraw (of menlo park): 15/30/15, full coverage, was $413/year.
   Uninsured motorists was $225. Ouch!

I'll be calling one or two more tomorrow, and if the reults are worth
posting, I'll do so. But it looks like State Farm will give me the best 
rate. Being the full coverage is only $49 more (105 for only liability) I 
will probably splurge to promote peace of mind. I know, unemployed people
shouldn't splurge.

I've been with McGraw so far. Haven't had an accident to file a claim for yet,
but the rates are good - under $100 this year.

Honda's dealerships pretty much seem to endorse McGraw for cycle insurance.

I'm generally kind of a 2nd generation mechanical purist...
The 1st generation people are content with manual oil pumps and
manual spark advance devices..  well..  I'll admit to enjoying the
luxury of a machine the pumps it's own oil and advances its own spark
timing...

the devices I`ve sneered at have been things such as the 70's 
Suzuki 'Gear Indicator displays'..  or the Kawasaki 'Brake light test'
light which lights up every time the brake light goes on...

up until yesterday, I also thought low fuel warning lights were
right up there with the of the gadgets that no 'real' MC person
would bother with...

so here's the scene... I'm buzzing merrily along on my KZ440
east on 80, coming down that hill between Napa and where 680 meets 80...
One of those HUGE semi trucks is coming up behind me in the slow 
lane..  no problem I thinks I'll just change lanes and the truck'll
go zooming past (it was growing big awfully fast, and a KZ440
is a fine highway machine, until you need some quick passing power
that is)..

well, just at that moment Mr. Kwacker decides that the main tank
is empty..  sputter sputter sputter...  I looks in the mirror...
"oh  sheeeeetttt".  If anyone believes in method acting, I would
have been perfectly prepared to play little 'John Connor' in 'T2' who
looks back to see the tonnage of death bearing down on him from behind.

So Left hand zips down to the petcock and switches to reserve in
what must've been barely a second or two since the first sputter
of the engine...   I regain speed and beat it to the next lane
over...  WHOOSH....  damn....

well...  add the 'low fuel warning light' to my list of 'approved'
gadgets....

     I friend took his FZR 600 to Performance and Design in Oakland.
I think they're right down the street form the Honda/Kawasaki dealer.

     I see such exhausts all the time.  It's illegal, but since there's
no emissions inspection for bikes in California, there's essentially no
enforcement.  A cop probably could issue a fix-it ticket, but I've never
heard of that happening.  You're more likely to get an excessive noise
citation, since most aftermarket pipes are louder than stock.

pay for a good service?

(3) I know changing exhasts and jetting bikes makes them street illegal.

     For the East Bay, I like Cycle Gear.  There's a pretty good
one in Richmond (McDonald Ave., a few blocks West of San Pablo)
which happens to be ultraconveniently located minutes from my home.
The one in Concord (on Monument), if my dusty memory serves, is bigger
and has a bit more selection.  The one in San Jose is much smaller,
enough so that I thought it was pretty lame the one time I stopped
there.

     There's nobody like Road Rider.  They're simply the biggest,
and therefore have the most selection, especially of leathers.

     If it's just ads you want, I read both Motorcyclist and Cycle
World, and the ads tend to be the same.  Rider has a few not present
in the others, but mostly targetting Gold Wing riders, oddly enough.
I'd just grab either Motorcyclist or Cycle World.  I just found
International Bike Journal, which seems to have lots of ads for the
vintage marques.

     Incidentally, I doubt any local shop will be able to match mail
order prices on a helmet.  You just need to decide how much you want
to support your local shop.  (I use a 10% rule if I don't want the
item right away.)

Yes.  Head for the flagpoles on either side of the Coliseum.  They allow
bikes to park on the island directly under the flagpoles.  You'll have to
go up a curb to park, and back down it to leave.

     Well, there's always California Cycles in Berkeley.  They're on
San Pablo near Oakland.  (In fact, they're probably in Oakland, not
Berkeley).  These guys are always rebuilding wrecks and advertise alot
of salvaged bikes and parts in the East Bay Flat Market.  Mostly, they
seem to work on Japanese bikes.

     Fair warning: their prices for new stuff are pretty high, so they
may be overpriced for parts too.

Riding Skyline is a pleasure and a treat. It should be considered as such;
both the other users of the road and the residents should be treated with
courtesy and respect. 

Sometimes I'm in the mood to ride swiftly, sometimes I just want to putt
and enjoy the scenery. Riding swiftly doesn't mean seeking the far limits 
of my abilities, whether that be the bike's limits or my own. And riding
swiftly doesn't take precedence over the courtesy, respect and
consideration
for the safety of everyone out there. Skyline is NOT a closed course
raceway.
Even if it were, you damn better be prepared to respect the safety of all
your fellow users of the road. 

And on Skyline, be prepared to STOP at any time, suddenly, for traffic 
turning on and off the road into driveways. Not a consideration on a closed

course.

I've been startled more than once by a couple of weeners blitzing past me
when I'm happily leaned over into my line on a corner. 30+ MPH speed 
differentials are *dangerous*, folks, when you're not expecting them. Just
be a little sensitive to the rider you're not racing with when you set up 
for passing.

My only peeve with the bicyclists are the folks who again act with no
consideration or respect for their/my safety. Riding two abreast for short
periods on the open stretches is fine. Riding two abreast in blind corners,

wandering out into the center of the lane, using the whole road when 
heavier/faster/less maneuverable vehicles want to pass is inconsiderate
and dangerous to both vehicles.

Another small thing: a motorcycle is typically invisible to the driver
of a car. Likewise, a bicycle is too. And a bicycle is often invisible
to a rider on a motorcycle. I believe it's a psychological problem as
well as a perceptual one, and it's not going away. Please don't wander
into the center of the lane on those beautiful blind, sun-dappled 
corners, bicyclists! I can work hard to overcome the psychological
visibility problem, but even at 25 mph, I cannot see you quickly enough 
to accomodate a change of line if you are hidden in the next shadow and 
you're where you shouldn't be -- directly in the middle of the lane or
at the left edge.

Final peeve: if only the cagers would be a little bit more willing to 
allow a faster moving vehicle some passing room.

I wish I could still bicycle Skyline; I miss that part of enjoying it.

I heard recently that McGraw is under investigation by the State of
California, and that they may not be sufficiently funded to cope with
a reasonable number of claims.   I'm not sure how true that is, though -
I heard it from a cop when he pulled me over.

I'm currently insured through Sullivan & Sullivan in Mental Dark, and the
Underwriter is Universal Underwriters.   However, they definitely charge
more than the State Farm rate that was mentioned earlier - if you qualify
for that, it might be worth going for.
