I use a homebrew wooden ramp (5' x 12", 2" thick) to load my Sportster into the
back of my full-size GMC pickup. The ramp board is smooth, but I've never had
a problem with traction. I guess the Sporty just has so much low end torque 
that all I have to do is ease out on the clutch and just give it enough gas
so the engine doesn't stall and it goes up the ramp effortlessly.

	Chucky you have obviously left out the most important item.  The
aftermarket brake pad stickers that are placed on the bike's forks.

	Also, the hemisphere of the earth that the brakes were manuafctured
in matters, too, due to gyroscopic procession.  Excuse me, I meant
alcoholic ingestion.  No, it's actually bucolic relaxation.

See Clymer's "Figuring What the Hell Kinda Brakes Look Better Than Others"
for more details.  Ignore the diagrams, though, they're all wrong.

You believe the pressures Metzeler recommend FOR YOUR BIKE. They produce
a leaflet showing all their recommended tyres and pressures for virtually
all bikes on the market. The pressures recommended by Suzuki are for
the original equipment tyres!

While Charlie is off on his geography, he's at least in the neighborhood
as far as the spirit of the roads go, so that's worth something. He gets
these lovely parting gifts, and a copy of the home game. :-)

>>> <1>  Winding Road Next 77 Miles

That is a nice road, as the Denizens that showed up for Dan Canfield's
Labor Day '89 Gather can attest. (Especially following Ilana back down
the mountain!) But the interesting part (from Kamas to Mirror Lake)
isn't nearly 77 miles long, and the stretch from Mirror Lake to Evanston
is pretty, but not all that twisty. Oh, it's State Road 150 if anyone's
interested.

No, the road in question is US 12, aka Lolo Pass, between Lewiston,
Idaho and Missoula, Montana. The 77 miles is actually between Lowell
and Lolo, though the rest of the road is worth riding too (not that
you've got a lot of choice :-).

>>> <2>  Caution: Passing Areas Not Marked
>>>  a.  Ogden Canyon road.  That runs East toward Huntsville.

Another nice road, but double yellow nearly the whole length, and heavy
traffic too, with all those boats headed up to Pineview dam.

This one is Mt. St. Helens. If you can tear your eyes away from the
staggering destruction of the blast zone, you'll find a perfect ribbon
of road, with no double yellow anywhere on the mountian. The road must
have been designed by a motorcyclist: perfect asphalt, a wonderful
mixture of fast & slow curves, amazing scenery, and the whole thing is a
legal passing zone. And there's a single-lane-with-turnouts back road
that most cages don't even bother to try.

I encountered both roads during the Great Pacific Northwest Dryside
Gather that Bill Johns & Co. put on last August. What a weekend!

BTW Charlie, how much time have you spent in Utah? You almost sound like
a native. :-)

miles on it for $1600 or a 1983 Honda Nighthawk (12000 miles for $1400).  Both 
bikes are in great condition though the Honda is somewhat cleaner. Also, the 
Maxim is from a dealer and the Honda is from a private owner, neither are 
willing to negotiate price.  I would appreciate any advice concerning either 
bike, including their flaws and attributes.

There are only two nationalities I could consider being, instead of
British, and for very specific reasons - Italian (for style and
temperament) and French (for individuality, food and lifestyle).

Sorry chaps, some of the weaker countries may look up to you because
of your size and power, but most of the Western world usually look

See what Metz recommends for your bike. The other thing is profile, which
you don't mention. For example, if your original is a 120/90-18, you'd
probably be ok with a 130/80-18. You may or may not have problems with
a 130/90-18, but if you can find a wider tire with the *lower*
percentage profile, you're probably better off.

There is a washer on both the drain plug, and where you just specified.
Look at the drain plug and see if you can see the washer.  If it is
there you are probably correct, and if not you now are sure where
it goes.

OK, because I'm a jerk, and I don't treat my bike right, I've only just
gotten to the point in my winterizing process (I did most of the stuff a
while ago) where I'm trying to drain the carb bowls.

The service manual never mentions such a procedure, not even as part of
removing and disassembling the carbs.  My particular bike ('82 Yamaha 
Vision 550) does seem to have overflow/vent tubes on or near the carbs.
Does this mean my carb bowls don't need to be drained, or does it mean that
generally it's so simple, they just assume you can do it?


Thanks,

jeff.

I just recently bought a car as well, as a matter of fact
I plan on having it registered by the first of Febuary.
$1,500 dollars seems pretty steep to me.  True, I have not
seen your particular bike.  I would think a more realistic
price would be around $1,200 dollars and you would probably 
be talked down to $1,000.  I recently sold one of 2 V-65
Sabres that I owned and only got $850 dollars for it.
It had no crash damage, and I had just replaced the cams
and cam chain tensioners on it.  I could not even get anyone
to look at it when it was advertised for $1,100 but I got
around 10 calls a day.  The reason being it had almost
75,000 miles on it.  I still have the other one and it
has considerably less miles on it, (I bought it with
28,000 on it), and paid $1,200 for it and it is in extremely
good condition.  What I am getting at is that if I were
you, it may be worth your while to just keep it.  A 750
is not that big, and I do not think you are going to get
the kind of money you wnat for it.

My case is a little different, as I plan to keep the car 
parked for rainy days, (hard to get a parking space on
campus for a car in the morning).

Mr. Kramer;

	Let me assure you of four things (in random order of course);

1) A "chrome plated butt rattler" is stock on every HD ever sold. In fact
   you could very well say that a Harley Davidson is itself a cpbr.

2) They don't wear out, break, or fade due to exposure from sunlight.

3) I'm not very good at math.

I do hope this clears things up for you;

These are the insurance premiums, annually, for $200,000 liability
(legal minimum in BC)

In British Columbia we have a public insurance company (ICBC) that
handles all insurance premiums. One of the specialty programs that ICBC
offers is "Collector's Insurance." This insurance is available for old
motor vehicles (cars & bikes) which are for pleasure use only (no riding
to work or school). The idea is that people who own collectible vehicles
are unlikely to do something dangerous which would cause damage to their
vehicle, especially since you aren't allowed to use it to go to work. As
well, the $135 rate is _only liability insurance_. I don't know what the
price would be for "own fault" coverage (damage you do to your own bike)
or whether it would be in line with regular insurance prices. Many
private insurance companies elsewhere may offer deals on the insurance
for older vehicles, especially if you have another vehicle registered
with them.
