There is a Hardly Ableson dealer in each of the main centres and one or two 
in some weird places. Should be no problem to get service. Parts might be 
more of a problem, but the things are popular here (God only knows why!)

Why fill your sump with fresh oil and not get it into the rest of the motor?
The passages, bearings, walls, etc. are covered with the old oil still.
New oil has plenty of additives; one starting won't hurt and is recommended by
me (having never done this).

Yah, I'd really like to see the accident rate as well.
If we take fatalities as a rate of accidents, we should
see the difference. Likewise, there is no rating system
I know of for "bad non-fatality" - veggie state for life or broken
legs that healed in 2 months. THOSE are the rates I'd like
to see - and never will.

Also notice that in the summer the difference between 91 and
92 got much larger. I would suggest that, all things considered,
this difference is the helmet law. Anyone in January not wearing
a full face lid is either 1) riding somewhere other than near the
coast, or 2) Real Cold. January/Feb. riders tend to be a bit less
squidly, IMHO, thus we should expect the accident rates to be lower.
A bit surprising that the Jun and Jan numbers in 92 are so close.

So someone got those accident rate number?

Well, a good friend got stopped by a cop around Worcester, MA for speeding.
A little perusal of the computer showed an unpaid ticket on Cape Cod from
a year or two earlier. So, they arrested him, transported him to Cape Cod,
and in the morning he got to not only pay the fine, but the cost of
transporting him to the Cape. Of course, his car was still back in the
Worcester area, so he got to take a taxi back.

All this only cost him a night in jail, and around $1,000.00, so feel free
to try it yourself :-(

Go for instants to : ACTION-motors in Apeldoorn. They say that they are
the biggest motorshop of west-Europe with more than 1000 bikes in the
showroom . 80% of the bikes are from the USA.

I also drive an imported bike of the USA.
Last two years the sale of bikes is so big that the dealers import used
bikes from the USA and Canada.
Because of the low Dollar the dealers sells the bikes with big
profits. A Yamaha FZ750 of 1988 costs about DFL 14.000,- about $8.000,-

Sucess with selling the bikes.

A 'longitudinal' crankshaft is one in which the spin axis of the crank
is oriented in the plane of the chassis, like BMWs, Guzzis, GoldWings, 
CX500s, ST1100s... etc. Most longitudinal crankshaft motorcycles are
shaft driven; the layout makes that the most sensible power train.

A 'transverse' crankshaft is one in which the spin axis of the crank 
is oriented at right angles to the chassis, like most bikes. Transverse
refers to the fact that the crankshaft sits across the chassis.

That's about all the types available.

	It won't work on '82 models -- they had twin air intakes
behind the plastic covers just below the fuel tank edges on either side,
beside the carbs.  For '83 the airbox was relocated under the
tank, above the carbs.

	Another trick is to remove the snorkel from the front of
the airbox on Sabres.  This will (a) improve airflow (b) increase
noise from intake (c) improve power delivery (d) reduce gas mileage.
Well, according to my mechanic anyway.  I haven't tried it yet :-)

	I'll have to give your suggestion a try.  Perhaps the
presence of the Hondaline Sportfairing on my Sabre will help
protect the area from too much moisture collection.
Mind if I add your note to my V4 files?

i'm told that if someone climbs aboard my bike while it's parked and i'm not
on it, should they fall and injure themselves, i may be sued (successfully)
for their injuries.  the bike falls under the definition "attractive nuisance",
much the same as someone climbing over your fence to hop in your pool, falling
on the deck and suing you (happened right here in charlottesville) -- and
winning!

anywy, the original scenario begs for a silent alarm with an ignition kill
feature.  shutting the bike off as you dismount should be enough to arm it,
and the lack of a piercing and attention-getting siren should keep the
thief from peppering you with lead in annoyance.  of course, alarms with a
'grace period' won't work here, unless said period is quite brief.

Hey, folks, Fiamms, as with most horns, are _tunable_ ! When
my single, "low" note Fiamm starts to sound wimpy or "honk"
instead of "bellow" I know that the adjustment bolt has
vibrated out of tune again. This may be the reason behind
those quiet horns.

BTW, using a single horn is a great idea for those of us
who's bikes cannot handle the amperage load from two horns,
especially used as oftenas NYC traffic demands. I'm blasting
the horn about 10 times a day, sometimes for 5~10 seconds at
a time. It really does wear my battery, but it scares those
dumb cages!
