Here in Canada too, the CAA refuses to deal with motorcycles.
I got a CAA membership while I had a car and a bike.  
Later, I went cross Canada on my motorcycle with the 
thought 'well, I'm covered if anything goes wrong!'.
Luckily I had no mishaps, but was rather annoyed at their
services.  

   I phoned up to ask and they were quite rude to
me. I pointed out that I had been a member for five years
and they should consider some sort of motorcycle coverage.
They laughed and pissed me off more.  I now refuse
to deal with them.

Which also proves a point about marketing/advertising of another kind.
I have one of those ancient VCRs with only one head, and slow motion
replays look like crap so I haven't verified, but I'll bet a pilsner
lager stout ale that the lead bike is a Kawasaki.  That lime green may
be ugly as hell, and violate some mysterious rule about racing colors,

Somebody with good gear want to tape it and verify?

Turn the tips to face the rear.  Probably not as much of a problem on a

Subject: Sticky valve on SR500, what to do?
Date: 21 Jan 93 21:13:29 GMT
Distribution: usa
Organization: CTS Network Services (crash, ctsnet), El Cajon, CA

I believe my 1981 Yamaha SR500 now has a sticky valve.  The bike hadn't
been used for almost 2 months (largely due to some fairly amazing weather
here in San Diego).  When I went to start it, it had little or no 
compression.  I was eventually able to kick it to life and, after running 
for one minute, it then had reasonable compression.  I attempted to make a
compression test measurement but, lacking in strength, weight, or technique, 
was unable to acquire a useful measurement.  I don't currently have access
to a leakdown tester.  It has done this once before, 6 months, 1000 miles ago.

My questions:
1) Is this a sign that I need to do some immediate head work lest things get
more expensive in a hurry?

2) Is this bike due for a valve job anyway.  It now has 16000 miles on it.

3) Is this problem likely to go away assuming it gets its normal (100 miles/
week) usage?

4) Am I wrong to believe its a valve?  The compression release lever springs
back when released.  I always kick it through a few times before attempting 
to start it so it may be caused only after applying the compression release.

Any advise would be appreciated.

	Could some kind soul tell me how to upload this? I have no real
	idea how to deal with archives... I haven't even really been able
	to find any file at cerritos that I think might be this program. 

I had no luck ftp'ing it to a unix box - something broke the format of
the zip file between vms & unix.  So I ftp'd it to vms and then
kermited it onto my pc at home.  If someone knows how to preserve a
zip file from vms to unix, please add to this:

% ftp cerritos.edu
username: anonymous		# anonymous ftp login
password: bcd+@osu.edu		# your email address is standard password
ftp> cd dod.dir			# change to dod directory
ftp> bin			# binary file transfer mode
ftp> get skill.zip		# transfer the file
ftp> quit			# all done

There are actually a couple more lines of info that ftp gives you,
especially around the username and password prompts.  But those are
the things you type.

Note that the 'ls' command in ftp will show you a list of files on the
remote host; 'cd' likewise works as you expect, changes your directory
on the remote host.  '?' will show you commands.

Note also that most files in the dod archive are binary, since they
are mostly .gif files (pictures).  Text files like the faq and so on
are more efficiently transferred in ASCII mode (ftp command 'ascii'
instead of 'bin'; 'ascii' is default mode when you start ftp).

Yes, the easiest way to remove the rear wheel is to remove the
front wheel.  Yeah, I know that sounds hokey, but here's how you
do it:

Set the bike up on the center stand.  With a stout strap or rope,
secure the center stand to the front forks or your crossover pipe.
Remove the front wheel being careful to not get the spacers, washers
and bearings in dirt.

Lean the bike over like a knealing horse.  This raises the rear
end considerably.

Remove the rear axle nut and remove the axle.  Carefully slide the
wheel out the now larger opening.

This was the way our former chief wrench taught us to do it at a club
tech session many years ago.  I had a '77 R100/7 and it worked like
a champ when I needed to put on new tires.

It's more about riders than bikes, but here goes...

1. The Hells Angles bad-ass biker gang.  This dirty slob drinks beer,
takes drugs, and rides in gangs that beat and rape people at random.
These people ride Harleys, and wear black T-shirts with eagles on
them.  They usually also have several tattoos.

2. The testosterone-charged adreneline-junky teenager.  This grossly
irresponsible youngster always exceeds the speed limit, splits lanes on
the freeway, regularly evades capture by the police, and always winds
up killing somebody.  These people ride Japanese motorcycles with a
prone seating position and lots of bodywork, they wear colored leather
suits and full-face helmets with dark faceshields.

3. The environment-destroying redneck dirt biker.  This person's
mission in life is to eliminate as many endangered species as possible
by riding loud motorcycles through pristine wilderness, causing erosion
and general destruction, and leaving many beer cans.  These people ride
motorcycles with tall suspension, and smoke-belching two-stroke engines
with no muffler, they wear dirty blue jeans, and have multiple scars.

4. The anti-establishment, radical new-wave freak.  Although not
necessary, this individual often leads an "alternate lifesytle."  These
people are hard to identify by motorcycle, but they generally ride
cruiser style bikes.  They wear an eclectic assortment of leather and
not-in-any-fashion-magazine accessories.  They have multiple piercings
of many body parts, and hair of any color that couldn't have grown that
way naturally. 

5. The transplanted Britt or Scot.  These people come the closest to
being "normal."  They ride old BMW or Norton motorcycles (on which they
do 100% of their own mechanical work), wear old wool or tweed clothing,
and talk with a funny accent.  They have their own words for things,
and are horrible spellers.

Hows that for spinning your tyres at the end of a straight.
