I'd like to see the drawings, just out of curiosity.  Think he's be
willing to e-mail the ACAD files?  Post 'em to cerritos?

A couple of good cut-away drawings, a photo or two, and a 2-3 page
write-up about how the system was implemented, what the problems were,
what else had to be modified to accomidate it, etc. would almost
certainly be of interest to American Motorcyclist or MCN (Road Rider).
I doubt if JERKS-R-US would care, unless it adds horsepower or is
painted neon.

   What's the best form of electronic communication between bikes? CB or one of

   (mount inside fairing?) unit? Prices? Good brand names?

The ones with the mike in the earphone suck dingoes' kidneys.  The mike must
be extremely sensitive to pick up your voice from way over there, so it
also picks up road and exhaust noise, beautifully!

Maxon makes a set, at $75 each (2 required :-) that is `helmet adaptible'.

Radio Shlock sells a very similar set, at $75/pr, that is not `helmet 
adaptible' unless you're willing (I was) to cut up the headset and glue the 
different parts into your helmet.

The 49MHz ones have about 1/4 mile range if you're lucky, and are subject to 
lots of interference in yuppie neighborhoods, from phones and baby monitors
and kids' walky-talkies (all of which operate on the same band).

If you want a serious bike-to-bike setup, probably the cheapest way would 
be to buy a CB on one of Radio Shak's $49.95 special prices (of course, these
guys always break after about a year; get a real brand, like Cobra, to make
it last longer) and build a headset yourself.  You can get the full-on
motorcycle adapter headset, with big-foam boom mike and interior earphones,
helmet included, for $300 from Honda (who sells 'em for the Goldwing crowd),
or a kit, without helmet for considerably less but still around $100.

Of course, none of these options works well at all, with an open face helmet
(as others have mentioned...)

Good luck!

Ok here is a general question that hopefully someone might have a
comment on.  I have a 85 Kawi GPz 550 with a ME33A up front and a ME99
in back.  I am getting to the point, probably soon, that I need to
replace the tires.  Now the ME99 is a 90 120X18 and I have been
thinking of going to a ME55 instead because I understand that it is a
better tire than the 99.  Problem is that the ME55 doesn't come in 120
size, only 90 130x18.  Anybody got a gut feeling if this tire will work
on the rim or am I looking at a bunch of problems trying to do this.
120cm was the stock size of tire when the bike first came out.  If I
get real motivated, I might even go for a 10 cm oversize on the front
(which right now is a 90 100x18)  Any comments?

I haven't seen a Ski-Doo there, but I have seen a Bimota.  Lew
Fox is a good dealership, but he is rather quirky.  Has a

The Blue Ridge Parkway begins, in the south, on the eastern side of the
Great Smokey Mountain National Park (slightly south of the line between
Knoxville, Tennessee, and Asheville, North Carolina).  It runs NNE
along the western North Carolina border, into Virginia, where it
continues on a NNE route, a few miles west of I-81.  According to my
map, it seems to change names at Waynesboro, Virginia (west of
Charlottesville), and becomes Skyline Drive.  It ends just south of
Winchester, Virginia.

The route is absolutely beautiful.  The road is well maintained, and
travels almost exclusively through National Forests or National Parks.
The Appalachian Mountains experience four distinct seasons, and offer
something different all times of the year.  For a motorcycle trip, I
wouldn't recommend winter.  Late summer is probably the busiest season,
with the most traffic.

Try to avoid weekends, particularly in or near the National Parks.
Speed limit is too low, and is rigidly enforced.  The cops that patrol
it are complete idiots (on a group ride last summer, a cop saw 2 bikes
going the other way, pulled across both lanes and made a 3-point turn
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD to turn around and go after them.  the bikers
following nearly T-boned him).

If you plan to travel it near the first of June, tune in here for info
on the Second Annual DoD Right Coast Ride, which is rumored to be in
West Virgina near then.

..that's remotely affordable.

Unaffordable, light and plain whizzo-ace are Bimotas. OK, you can't
afford a Bimota, but I can't afford a CBR900 either ('cos they're
about 7000 pounds = $11,000).

Everything else I agree with, although being 6'5'' makes life
difficult, since light bikes = low seat height, for improved
stability. Oh well, back to the 525lb monster in the garage.

comments:

- if it is a different tyre the _correct_ size may be different
  Telephone Metzler and ask them (also pressure may be different

- fit the recommened size for that tyre and no other

advice comes via me from a tyre development specialist at Avon tyres
(this is a few miles from here, he teaches at the same m/c training

Good, innit?  K Carlisle was refering in particular to the new 145 bhp
(manufacturers figures) Triumph Daytona. Since 1959, the UK bike industry
decayed and fell into nothingness, whilst the Japs reigned supreme with
bikes like the OWO1, EXXUP, etc. The Governmant says nothing. Then suddenly
a British company brings out a bike that might actually be *exportable*.
People might actually *want* one*! and in steps a cabinet minister with his
foot in his mouth to slag them off. No wonder that UK manufacturing industry
is in the toilet :(((


Incidentally, Bike casualties on UK roads fell by 7% in the third quarter
of last year (compared to 3Q91) whilst cager crashes rose 9%. OK, the
bike/cage population may have altered, but I don't think by *that* much. HM 
Govt however, continue to pick on bikers and leave car drivers be.

I attribute the above figures (this is *my* opinion here) to the stricter
training requirements brought into the UK for bikers over the past few years, 
whilst the cagers test continues to be ridicuously easy.
