This may not be the right place to post this but it is my best bet.
I am looking for a Video documentary on F-1 and Motorcycle racing
history called "TURBO TIME".

Ithink that is what the name was. The last time I saw this Video was about
5 years ago. It may have been made around 10 or maybe 15 years ago. Is there
anyone who has either seen it or can tell me where one could possibly find 
it.

Thanks

hi!  i'm planning on running my bike (750FZR) at blackhawk farms this weekend.
i'm hoping to run in a 25 lap (50 mile) endurance on saturday and maybe a 7(?)
lap superbike race sunday.  the bike's got pretty new (2000 miles) sportmaxes.
at the advice of someone on rec.moto (don't remember who, can't see that far
back) i called the dunlop tire guys about tire pressure.  i told the guy i was
planning on running street sportmaxes at the track and he STRONGLY recommended
using race/sticky tires (like 591's).

what should i do?  i can't really afford $250 to get sticky tires by this
weekend.  of course, i also can't afford to fix the bike should the sportmaxes
get slippery...

Howdy,

Man, psycho long post from Axel saying essentially "I can make the
decision, thanks for the input" :-)

While Mike is definately right, and race tires, among other things,
are required and need to be included in the cost of racing, you
eventually have to just get out on the track.  Somewhat regardless of
what equipment you have.  In my opinion, street Sportmaxes are
certainly not the best tire, but it helps to keep in mind that 5 years
ago, they would have been thought of as a psycho fast racing compound.
We're not talking about Chin Sheng touring tires here...

In any event, I know Axel, and believe that he won't be sucked into
racing anyone way over his head.  As such, I think he should go race
(but be carefull not to wad the bike, since we need it for the 5 hour
at Brainerd :-)

And this bike certainly is a step up from his last one.  Don't EVER
ride an '83 interceptor 750 with a bent frame and old shitty tires,
especially at the track.  Especially if it's at Nelson, especially if
it doesn't have a steering damper.  EVIL.  Blech.  I was MUCH more
comfortable riding an RZ with no steering damper, fork brace, or fork
OIL than I was riding that damn interceptor.  REALLY EVIL... no
smiley.

(and I'll bet that that post just means so much to all of you, eh? :-)

Ah, another poor soul who's confused what the drivers manual says with 
what works in the real world...

I do spend a lot more time in the right hand lane now that I live in New 
Hampshire (where the chances of meeting a car coming up the entrance ramp 
are relatively small), but back when I learned how to drive in New Haven CT,
_everyone_, from a state police officer I knew to the drivers ed people,
to van drivers who drove for a living, they all said that you should ride 
in the middle lane.  The right hand lane is the most dangerous lane on the 
highway (so I'm told, I do _not_ have references).

In that area of the country (Hartford -> New Haven -> Bridgeport -> New York)
there is usually a pretty steady stream of traffic coming up the ramps, and 
the entrances are pretty close together (almost never more than a few miles 
apart).

I suspect that one's preference for a lane depends on what type of limited 
access highway one is used to travelling on.  Those of us in congested New 
England probably have different techniques from the folks in less populated 
areas.  

I'll grant that the original poster (complaining about people who drove in 
the middle lane) might have had a valid complaint given where he's driving, 
but in lower New England I'll take the middle lane every time, and I won't 
feel bad about doing it, no matter what the manual says.

  Folks,



   I am about to be re-employed after two years of grad-school-induced 
   poverty.  I would like to get me a bike.  My last ride was a 78
   KZ900.  I am thinking of getting a used Honda CBX (is that the
   right model number?) 6-cyl that I drooled upon several years ago.

   1) Does anyone have a clue where I might find such a beast?

   2) Are there any reasons why this wouldn't be a good beast to own?

   3) Any tips as to what to look for on this particular bike (known
      mechanical failings, etc)?

 
   4) Anything else you wanna tell me?



   Thanks for your input.

I'd suggest doing one carb at a time.  My Virago has slightly different
jetting on the forward carb (or was it the rear carb) and would not
like having parts swapped.

It's time to say good-bye to the NightHawk, 8-((((.....

Just got an estimate for the tranny: $800 - $1K. Along with a list of
additional things to fix that I had meant to do anyway, the total bill
comes out to more than what I paid for it. So sad to see it go,
especially since it was done it by a slippery man-hole cover.

Since the net already has enough flame-bait about those who are giving
up their bike for marriage, I won't go into too much detail. But
suffice it to say, I'm still hiding the Sportster, and now has my
heart set on a replacement. It's either gonna be a short marriage, or
I'll get to keep one in my garage.

Obmoto: Anyone in the Northeast know about a place called Cycle
Salvage near New Haven, CT? What kind of rep does it have? Same goes
for a place called Motorcycle Salvage, located in Seldon, Long Island.
Any advise would be appreciated.

Also, can anyone who has some experience with selling to a salvage
yard give me a few pointer; how much can I get for it (bike's in good
running condition, dented tank, aftermarket fairing <ergo no "gold"
pieces>. Does anyone want a 85 NightHawk S for parts? You can get the
whole thing for $400, motor and all.

| I would get a little stiff/sore somewhere around 6-8 hours, depending on |
| the # of breaks, etc... Ann says she never got sore even on 10 hour long |
|        days.  She did better than I did.       --  Keith Schauer         |
