hawg's ears.  For a serious computer type, I'd thing you would understand

I don't know why sidestands are on the left. In a country where you ride
(and presumably park) on the right side of the road, a right hand stand
would work better a lot of the time. Of course by now it's probably a
matter of federal regulation.

I'm flexible, I'll go either way, though I do seem to favor the left
side somewhat.

So what's the preferred mounting method when you've got a high load on
the rear of the bike? Swing your leg high over the rear, and hope you
clear everything, or just attempt to step over the seat while trying
to look graceful?

Interesting.  I put a Bridgestone 17R dual compound on the back of my FJ
and was most pleased with it.  The tire did not square off even after about
5 k miles.  I was particularly pleased witht the stick in corners.  I was
able to scuff that tire to both extreme edges without problem...other than
the periodic seat pucker.  I would stick with them, but they never made
a front tire with similar rubber.  I ended up going to the Pirelli
MP7 radials, which are also very good tires.

Ride Free,

|alarms, etc.), but it's NOT other radar detectors.

  I hate to tell you this - but there is no semantic difference in transmitting
and radiating, at least not in the usage you are employing..

  And, you are wrong, also.  Super-heterodyne radar detectors DO radiate 
(and "transmit", pick your word) microwaves, albeit at a MUCH lower power
level than radar "guns" (like 1/10000 of the level of a gun or less).  The
better units are better shielded, and may not actually radiate/transmit much
outside of the case at all.

  Case in fact: the so-called "Radio-Shack" circuits present in most detectors
now sold to filter out the transmissions/radiations from the original really
shittily made Radio Shack units:

  When superhet radar detectors started getting cheaper and were proven so
clearly superior, they replaced the original totally passive non-super-het
radar detectors such as my old Fox X/K remote (which I still have).  This was
in the 1979 timeframe.  Now, I wouldn't know where to even *buy* a non-super-
het detector.  Escort was one of the first super-het detectors mass-produced,
and its complete superiority at the time due to the use of super-het circuitry
is what established Cincinatti Microwave as the best radar detector
manufacturer at the time (and they are still at or near the top).  I own a
CM Passport, a Cobra RD5110 remote (mounted in my cage), and bought a Cobra
RD3168 for an exgirlfriend.  (Personally, I think you can get a detector as
good or better than a CM unit for less, but they *are* good detectors).

  When Radio Shack first started selling super-het units, they were
built/designed REALLY shoddily.  The radiated enough radiation on the reference
frequency (which is NOT the 10.525 or 24.150 GHz X and K-band freqs) to
actually set off nearby detectors, where nearby = more than 200 feet away,
but usually less than 1/4 mile.  Now, all quality detectors have what is
laughingly called the "radio shack" circuit, which is intended to filter out
nearby emissions of this reference frequency, and thus not trigger the detector
when a "noisy" detector is operating nearby.

  Try again, Romeo, :-)

My wife (past tense) was 5'5, 110 pounds and even had MS and handled
a Honda 305 Dream well.

My girlfriend of 5'5 rode my '73 Harley Super Glide
_very_ well.  Expertly.

Two other ladies I know ride Harleys Big Twins and both are around
5'6.  I know one of 5'6 who rides a '78 Sporster and she
does well, too.

She can do it.  Best kept secret among small men is how easy the
Big Twins are to handle.

Course, if you ride the tires off it you may have to wait a week for
replacements bought from your local brand X dealer at exorbitant prices. And
because every model seems to be so damn specialized they develop a new tire
just for it, the selection will suck. But hey, the factory knows best, right?

Thanks Ivan;

  Trully an excellent post.
  Ranks right up there with the one about abrasion resistance of
  materials.

  However, I was led to beleive that the uneven pulses did not increase
the maximum adhesion of the tires but actualy reduced max adhesion.
Apparently the racing radials don't slip like street tires and as a
result give no warning before they let go. The improvement is in the
riders ability to get closer to the limit as the uneven pulses produce
some minor tire slip to indicate where the limit is. The smooth firing
motors have a higher cornering potential but with no indication
of when you are approaching the limit riders had to allow a greater
safety factor. The uneven pulse bikes with a lower cornering potential
were actualy ridden closer to their limit.

  This is more or less from a magazine article I have read
somewhere. Makes sense to me.
