Where I come from, we've developed quite an interesting use for these
bikes.  When passing a string of these 'cruisers', which we call "cones",
we like to use the cones as markers for slalom practice.  We "coners"
find that cones with attached radios work the best for slalom practice
because three or four riders can get a good run through the cones before
they figure out that something is going on.

Some cones have readily adapted to this new role in life, and actually
enjoy "getting coned".  It seems to give them the same thrill as the
Star Tours ride at Disney's Farm.  In fact, some cones used to wear
specially shaped helmets, and were refered to as "coneheads".  The local
state police started catching on to the game, so the coneheads don't wear
special helmets anymore.

For some odd reason, Harley riders don't take this game in jest.  They
get all bent out of shape and start weaving back and forth in the lane,
shouting and gesturing, trying to make us crash into them (who knows,
maybe they're just being 'active participants'?).  This doesn't cause
us too much grief, as the Harleys tend to have wide handlebars that make
it difficult to get close to the cone during the slalom run.  The best
approach to this problem is to take the cones two at a time.

Because the BMW manual says that"Thou shalt not ride over 80 mph with
hard luggage."  otherwise instability will result.  When I asked my
dealer, Jim Plunkett about this, he suggested that it was a liability
problem.  He claimed that he has had any number of Beemers with hard
luggage over 80 mph (way over ;-)) with no problem.

As a data point, on my PD with the hard bags _and_ a large billowy tail
pack that is as wide as the full width of the mounted bags, I noted a
little squirreliness around 95.  I will try again without the luggage
just to get to the official DoD 105 (tm) mph speed.

Ride Free,

Bill

You left out one piece of data.  Speed = ?  R-bikes with SLIGHTLY loose 
steering heads will go into a wobble when you let off the gas and handlebars
at (some particular) speed below ~50mph.  R-bikes with over tightened 
steering heads will have a wobble you can "ride through" at a speed more than 
~70 mph.  Worn tires can exacerbate either effect.  My guess is your SHBs 
are loose.  

With bike on center stand and forks centered, a tap on either grip should 
cause them to SLOWLY move to a lock.  If they "fwump" then they're too loose.  
(Note: if you can feel play by pulling and pushing the axle parallel to the 
ground, toward the rear wheel, then they are WAY too loose.)  Loosen the top 
nut a turn or two using the special wrench that came in your tool kit.  You 
can use a screwdriver (and a hammer) on a corner of the actual pre-load nut 
to tighten it in increments.  After each 1/12 turn (it's actually a feel /
judgement sorta thing), retighten top nut and check (or test ride).  You 
MUST retighten the top nut before re-checking play. It is probably less than 
1/4 turn loose.  I am assuming typical break-in, no crashes, repairs, or
inspection (= MAJOR service interval where the dealer may have disassembled
the SH to lube the bearings).

Those damn jugglers!  They shouldn't be allowed on the same roads

I recently burnt out an expensive stator in my '82 Vision, and I think it  
happened when I jump started the motorcycle off of a car. 
I would take the battery out of the motorcycle and charge it with a  
charger very slowly (trickle charger). You can also charge the battery off  
of a car with jumper cables if need be.

Apparently the car produces too much current for the cycle charging  
system, and expensive damage results.

If anyone out there knows better, correct me please.

Yep.  So is whether you stand in court like a human or be chained like
an animal.  A judge certainly  wields immense power.  I know, my
graddaddy were one.  I believe you refered to that power as "absolute,"
which, of course, it is not.  It is also not an empowerment which I
particularly object to, since such discretionary power must reside
somewhere, and a judge is reasonably assured to have significant
education and experience in the field before attaining that position.

I might observe that "absolute" power is actually in the hands of the
cop on the street.  Sure, his actions are subject to review, but at any
given moment, he's got both the gun and the authority.

I was watching some show on "Discover" last night about cops, a
documentary, not one of these glory-orgasmic shows like "COPS."  They
showed cops detaining, searching, and generally humiliating a black man
because, "he was black, in a drug area, and he had his hands in his
pockets suspiciously."  Later, in an interview, one of the cops
actually said, "I used to didn't think of them one way or the other,
but since I've been working on the streets, I've become more
prejudiced, you know, against blacks and wetbacks..."

I'm not surprized there are bigots in law enforcement, and I suppose it
is reasonable to expect a few idiots.  To see both, on national
television, was a little sobering.

The honest-to-god truth.  I never had this problem until I read about it
on this net.  Then I started having it frequently.  It's contagious!!!

I have it with my FJ a bunch.  There is nothing to do about it.  Get into
the habit of putting the bike in neutral, letting the clutch out and rocking
the bike a bit to see if she's stuck.  If so, a goog serious push will
break the stick.  Of course you do this all _before_ you start the bike.

I can't tell if the PD soes this, the tranny is like so many lose bolts
and bricks compared to the FJ, it's hard to tell if it sticks or not.
No, I doubt if a dry clutch can stick like a wet one.

Ride Free,

Bill
