What? Ask 'Sarge' to fix a ticket? Whooaaah! Not me!  I was just kidding
about getting that license revoked. Some things you just don't mess with.

A little perspective here: 'Sarge' is 5'2", about 100 lbs., but we don't call
her 'Sarge' for nothing. My brother (the wild one) married her because she
threatened him with his life if he didn't. He believed her.

However, I do have some clout with her. About three years ago I was passing
through Selma and got a ticket for 69 when I was doing 55. After failing to
make any headway with Selma and the Selma traffic court (and getting
threatened by the Selma chief of police), I went to 'Sarge' and told her the
whole story. She asked me once if I was telling the whole truth, I said "Yes
Maaaam!". She revoked state highway funding for Selma the next year...

This make things a little clearer???

Well, actually some good news, of sorts.  I talked to the mechanic 
and he assured me that the part was finally shipped on Monday.  But 
they wouldn't/couldn't tell him if they shipped it Blue label (2days) 
or mule-train (I'm betting the latter).  His personal experience has 
been that Suzuki is notoriously the worst when it comes to getting 
parts.

He told me of a distributor that was taking orders, but failed to mention 
to those placing the orders that Suzuki of Japan no longer shipped to 
this guy, i.e. he was no longer a distributor!  What a butt!

Anyway, if all goes well (and I'm not THAT optimistic) I should get the 
bike back together by this weekend.  Of course now I have to tune it up, 
change the oil, etc etc etc to be ready for a ride on Labor Day.

So, I'
v (whoops, damn return key)

So, I've heard from Mark and a possible from someone else.  Any other 
interest out there?

Yeah, parts like the Gas Tank Cover Lock that leads to the Trunk Lid Opener
Lever Handle. (Kinda like the Crashbar Protector Covers :^)

Let's see, so far I've found the oil filter, the tires, the fuel tank and the
radiator. (They were all in the trunk)  Couldn't find the air filter. What
else am I supposed to be looking for? Oh yeah! I found this funny looking BIG
fiberglass box with 4 wires coming out of it. What's it for? I found it
behind the radiator.

Leave Dallas.  As most Texans realize, the true Mason-Dixon line starts

No, I didn't mean leave Texas.  Who else will I be able to watch in

I tried Mobil 1 in my VF770S several years back. The transmission/clutch most
certainly did not like it and I ended up putting it in my wife's car.
Unfortunately, with my short-term-only memory, I can't remember exactly what
the problem was. I just remember cruising down 410 in S.A. here, hoping the
tranny would continue to function long enough to make it home. Went back to
my old expensive BelRay which did great by me - 49,000 miles on the VF700S
engine and except for the cam lobe problem (common with that engine), the
engine looked like it was virtually new.

sit on the house for others to look at, you can't see the house

Subject: Rider goes down, and up...and down...and up...& DOWN
Summary: a semi-long story
Date: 2 Sep 92 22:28:38 GMT
Organization: The University of Texas at Austin, Austin TX

I was less than a block away from my house, about to make a left turn
onto my street.  I had slowed almost to a stop, to allow oncomming
traffic (a couple of cars & a slow moving Suzuki 125) to pass.  The 
cars went past, and it was then that I noticed something strange about
the guy on the 125.

He was very slowly leaning to the right, slowing down, and then *boom*
he fell off the bike, just before it hit the curb!  

I rode up & turned around, by which time he was back up & getting on 
the bike.  I asked him if he was ok.  He said, "yeah," but then proceded
to fall on ME!  Fortunately, I had just enough clearance that his mirror
just hit the bottom of my tire.

I told him to go sit on the curb, and I moved both our bikes onto my street.
When I got back to him, he was trying to go to sleep, so I told him to 
KEEP HIS EYES OPEN!  

The last thing I wanted was some dope in a coma on my hands.  After asking
him some stupid questions to determine his lucidity, I realized that he
was suffering from hypoglycemia.  He had been dumping his bike every block
or so, for the past 5 blocks (a 45 minute trip for him), so I walked him up 
the block to my house, pumped him full of Coke & oatmeal cookies, got his 
phone number, and called his mommy to come get him.

It's interesting that no matter how calmly, and rationally you assure
someone that the situation is under control, if his child is involved
there is going to ensue a modicum of PANIC!  I think I heard car engines
starting and doors slamming even before the phone was on the hook.

Anyway, Mom & Sis showed up within about 5 minutes (they only live a few
blocks away).  Sis had on one brown shoe & one black shoe, and Mom was
running, dewey eyed, up the street, desperately looking for Sonnyboy, who
had a skinned knee, & exhaust burn on the right leg, skinned palm, &
elbow on the left side.  He, "Usually wears jeans & a jacket," but when
I found him, he was wearing a t-shirt, and shorts.  

I started to preach to him, but I thought better of it, and let him go
off with Mom & Sis.  He probably wouldn't have understood me in his
mental condition, anyway.

Well, I thought it was a strange occurrence, so now it's a true-life
story.  I hope this will be sufficient sacrifice of riders for today.
It seems that every Wednesday on the Wood's Dinner Ride, some squid 
eats it.  Perhaps today will be free of further incedent.  

Y'all ride safe, it's a crazy world out there.
