This is one of the major reasons for my purchase of the ST , the ability to 
go anywhere anytime on my bike , conduct my business, go shopping or head 
for the twisties.

I've gone shopping for three bags of groceries, carried my golf clubs to 
distant golf courses when the weather was nice ( eliminating the need to
choose between golf and a ride), taken home boards, carried briefcases,
traveled in suits ( with the jacket folded in the hard luggage ).
I can leave Boston , ride 80 miles to Conn. take out my jacket, stash
my helmet and leather jacket in the hard luggage and walk into a meeting
looking like mr Yuppie. If only I could find a place for my car phone:->

Lockable Hard luggage is essential to daily use of a bike and the ST has 
an excellent system.

All I can figure is that the need to have a helmet with you to avoid at-

   much sexual harrassment and discrimination at work. Let's all strive
   for an assexual workplace.

2) Does colorado have any job or civil rights protection in place for the

Try a Tumbleweed (tm) bottle.  They're designed to mount on the handlebar
crossbar on dirt bikes.  I have a 1/2 gallon one that I use for gas.  It
also comes in a 1 quart size.  They are plastic and strap on with a 
nylon/velcro strap.  I have seen them straped to a number of other spots 
on bikes as well.  A frame loop or luggage rack should do nicely.

Ectually, if you'd lube the wheel bearings with marmite you would reduce
the coefficient of friction to the point of improving  <perceived>
acceleration - the increasingly louder whine would make you think you
were going faster sooner, wouldn't it?  Ah, well ...

John;

	I'm not gay; but I know, associate with, and am related to
a number of people who are. I could give two shits about your own
inherited or chosen way of conducting yourself, as long as your
own ways do not incite you to look upon my ways as inferior.

	I will say this though; your absence from Colorado and
elliminating a potential $18.26 from their revenue is not nearly
as effective as standing up to in person, and supporting in person,
the thousands of people adversly effected by this legislation. Go
there, change a few minds with insightful and understanding con-
versation, and make a small difference. Sitting in Texas with an
extra $18.26 is hardly going to dignify your feelings about what
has happened. Act Up! I believe is the slogan. To boycott in the
manner you propose is leaving a lot of people without support. Its
a lazy approach to achieving a level of understanding that is
critical to your living an unprejudiced life. All persecuted factions
of society have altered their courses by action, not inaction.

Obmoto: Get on your bike, ride out there, and change some minds!

Actually an interesting solution to slowing him down could
be done in a few minutes at night (no touching his car)
using a bag of sacrete asphalt mix and creating a polish
stop sign (the PC term is speed bump). 
Where I live in PA was a nice dead end street until they
cut it through, now it cuts off 3 miles for a certain type
of commuter, said individual would come through at 60 mph
in a residential neighborhood and we have no local police
(thank god) so after talking to him and getting no results
I just dragged an 8x8x12' railroad tie across the road one
evening as I heard that z-28 going from 1-2nd, didnt see
him for a couple of weeks after that and then the stop signs
were finally put up. GM ought to use stronger bolts on
those transmission mounts and those shock towers should be
stronger so you dont have to worry about denting the hood
if they break.
