Originator: weaver@castor


As I was mounting up to ride to work the other day, my wife made the comment
that I got on the bike on the same side as was proper to mount a horse.

I thought about it for a second. I've only ridden a horse once or twice in my
life. I couldn't have developed this instinct from that. I don't feel
comfortable mounting my bike from the right, only from the left.

Further thought lead to the conclusion that I mount from the left because
that is the side that the side-stand is on.


Any thoughts? 

I know, I know. Pointless drivel. It's been a long night.

	usenet golden rule #46: read a post completely before you flame it.
	if you do not, the names you call others, might end up being

	why all guesses wrong? lets see... the assumptions you made were:

	1. i am a freshman. the truth is i complete my m.s in december
	   (hopefully ;).

	2. i am a newbie. truth is i have been reading and posting to
	   rec.moto for almost two years now (not an oldie, but certainly
	   not a newbie!).

	3. IP connectivity blah-blah importance...etc. i think nothing
	   of that sort. that was just a joke on the other person's
	   address as it appeared on my attribution line. (my contributions
	   to r.m not being in the spectacular nature, you would not have
	   had chance to notice posts from me from the address:
	   ami!ravi@uunet.uu.net  or ravi@ami.com a few months ago.
	   posting from a .com address did not make me a better or worse

	   acknowledge that "all bikers are bad", i refuse to pay attention
	   to labelling and classification (".edu posters are dumb",

Otherwise you have to dodge around bits and pieces.

actually, both of them are called Ascot.  I have seen a number of VT500s
with Ascot painted proudly on the side, plus I think the Haynes manual
for the VT500 lists it as an Ascot.  I always liked the VT version better
than the FT version, but why they would name them after a scarf is beyond
me.

Judging by the US bike mags I sometimes read bits of in the
newsagents, there's a serious shortage of bikers who can write in the
US. The reviews seem pretty anodyne, as though the writers were scared
of offending the advertisers.

Who'd buy a bike that carries this kind of sordid reputation? Obviously
the bike is a corrupting influence. If some unsuspecting soul were to
buy it, he'd probably soon find himself engaged in all manner of asocial
behaviour.

First a little harmless parking infraction, then maybe a bit of lane
splitting, and from there it's only a small step to speeding, or
possibly even passing on a double yellow. Then it's a downhill slide
into sordid relationships with inflatables and farm animals (or perhaps
inflatable farm animals, right Ed?). Of course once you're that far
gone, posting practical jokes on the net can't be far behind.

The horror, the horror!

Dunno. My favourite mechanic told me to just ride at about the speed I 
mostly would when in normal use, constantly varying the speed up and down by 
10-15%, until the mandatory oil change. Makes it extra sweet at that speed...
how you'd do this in town I can't imagine...

There is someone on the net who is a member of the Club.  It is 
Bob Ciodi.  He did it on the Wing while pulling the trailer and with
Metallica playing on the stereo.

Timing him was easy.  Hesh was there at the start and said go when
Mickey's arm hit twelve.  Then he jumped on the R bike, passed Bob in
the second corner, raced ahead to Alice's and was there to mark the
time of Bob's arrival.

It should also be noted that Paul Thompson used cellular phone technology
to time Bill Dorsey's attempt at becoming a member of the Club, but Bill
didn't make it because of something to do with tennis balls and little
girls.

Dangerous because of testosterone-crazed ZX11 riders, no doubt.
Have some fuckin' tolerance, will you?  The road's not your
personal playground, there's other people with different hobbies
than you.  Deal with it, or you lose the right to complain when they
try to take away _your_ hobby.


>  No markers, etc...

It probably wasn't a race then- most likely a centry ride.
Most races (and all races put on by good promoters) have vounteers
stationed at the road junctions, or at least signs, to warn motor vehicles
that there's a bike race goin' on.
