I finally determined that a ZX-11 is made by Kawasaki!!!  I saw a black
one (with purple graphics) this weekend.  What is a Goof2?  Is this a
nickname for one a 600F2?

With respect to the Blue Book, I've been told there isn't one for
motorcycles. My insurance agent and I were discussing this issue
friday, and she told me that in the event a bike is totalled, what
they do is survey dealers in the area to see what used bikes of that
type and vintage are selling for. The settlement is based upon that
value.

As to the value of CBRanythings, I can't help much. Sorry...

Daytime conspicuity can be increased by bright upper-body clothing and
helmets.  Retroreflective material and "neon" colors work especially
well.  Some states require (but do not necessarily enforce) some
number of square inches of retroreflective material on your helmet.

Daytime headlight use also increases conspicuity.  Many manufacturers
do not give you the option of turning it off.  High-beam use in the
daytime is even more effective, but some places prohibit this.
Depending on the intensity of your high-beam, it can also be annoying
to others.  One positive aspect of daytime use of high-beams is
reserving low-beam life for the night, when you need it.

Motorcycle headlight modulators also increase daytime consipicuity.
Check local and state laws before buying one, you can be ticketed for
MMH use in 10 states (soon to be 9).  A study (Gap Rejection Analysis)
found each of these factors to be effective in causing motorists to
reject an unsafe gap in front of an oncoming motorcycle more
frequently.  No one of these was more effective than the others.

Sigh.  Since most research has shown loud pipes to be an ineffective
method of increasing conspicuity for the purposes of accident
reduction, "best" must mean "emotionally satisfying".  Sound from loud
pipes is directed towards the rear, away from over 90% of all
pre-crash multi-vehicle hazard approach vectors.  Despite this, loud
motorcycles are not significantly under-represented, even in rear end
collisions.  In fact, noise detection inside of a moving vehicle has
only a minor directional component and does not provide significant
warning of impending collision.  Finally, continuous noise only
increases the limen of detection (unlike a loud horn), so even the
loudest of pipes will probably not wake up an oblivious cager.

Organization: University of Washington, Seattle

Let's split this group into rec.motorcycles and rec.bicycles! I'm all for
giving bicyclists their own newsgroup.

I am a motorcyclist and a bicyclist, and I commuted in the city on a
bicycle for several years. I now commute on a motorcycle. One thing is for
damn sure, and that is that bicycles are a hell of a lot more dangerous
than motorcycles. I would average about two near-death experiences per
week on the bicycle. You just have no way out of an unpleasant situation.
Now, I just give it a little right hand, and everything is OK. {Take that
line any way you want, and it's still true}

Another thing is for sure, there are a lot more jerks riding bicycles than
motorcycles. I only know of a couple of jerks on motorcycles, let's see,
there's Mark J. Andy, and I can't remember the other one. Maybe
motorcyclists would be more flagrant in their violation of the law than
bicyclists if they thought they could get away with it to the same extent.
But there is simply no question that bicyclists win the prize when it
comes to running red lights, stop signs, riding in the wrong direction,
failing to yield to pedestrians, etc. Too
many of these people are arrogant, inconsiderate, self righteous,
and frequently careless assholes (a lot of the same things people called
me after my pro-helmet law postings), and I love to see them nailed by the
militia. And I especially love to see them busted when I'm on my bicycle
doing my best to conform to the spirit, if not the letter of the law. OK,
I'll cheat on the occasional light, but at least I try to be discrete
about it. I think that the squidliest squid on a Ninja excercises more
sense and judgment than many of the urban bicyclists I see every day.

Anyhow, I'd like to see a CFV for splitting .bicycles away from this group.

Interestingly enough I have the same fear for the opposite reason.

Presumably mmost cars in the US have two headlights on either side. Here in
the UK most have one either side.

Another reason I would like twin lights is that I dont think that the beam
spread from my single light is good enough. (I sometimes think that the
illumination from my car - with twice the power of the bike - is good
enough).

 I dunno if Buell really counts.  I've always considered them a chassis

 Now, if Buell put one of their two stroke fours into a street chassis

Me neither.  But I *am* a mathematical genius.  It says so on my business
card. :^)

For a vehicle built for high speed, drag at top speed will be a significant
drain on the engine.  Therefore, in high gear, it will not be able to *get*
to redline due to drag.  

To put it another way, if a bike can reach redline in high gear (on a level
surface with no tailwind), it has the potential to go faster if you just
add another (higher!) gear.

Pulling into the garage, most likely. I *always* slow down to 70, or
so, when parking. Having the headlight go out when you're trying to

Put a big hammer behind the master link while you bang on

Well, it looks like the floodgates are open.  Like last year, I will

owners, before you take offence, seems like they changed the model this
year and the new one is *not* shaft drive but chain instead).

Can Vulcan 500 owners mention their experience ? Seems like the bike had
a lot of zip (and I was comparing to the Nighthawk 750 and the Suzuki 800).

I think the limit would be when the tire is rotating so fast that the

wind hanging onto the bars; like a wind sock.  Or when you can't see the
corner ahead in time to turn due to the compressed event horizon.
