It is suprising just how warm Heavy Leather is on a cold day.  A pair
of unvented leather jeans, with silk longjohns underneath keeps me 
plenty toasty in the nether regions (Chicago, of course :-) when it gets 
chilly.  Oh, of course, I ride a Concours, which has these little air 
deflectors that are supposed to keep the engine heat off, so you just 
turn them around, and bake. :-).  

If you can put a fairing on your bike, something like a Plexifairing 3
has lowers that protects the legs a bit.  In general, an effective
fairing is your best friend in cold weather.

Electric clothing, especially a vest (I use a Widder, satisfactorily),
does a lot to keep the rest of you warm, too.  You can get electric
chaps, too.

Anyway, layer, and keep the wind out.  A rainsuit does wonders.


I just watched "Memphis Belle" the other day (good movie!), and I
noticed that the WWII bomber crew was wearing what looked like full-body
sheepskin suits, with the cotton on the inside.  Now THAT would be warm.

And it seems like the idea of being wrapped up completely in sheep would
be right up the alley of certain Denizens.

Are cage stories allowed in rec.moto?  Should I join Her Majesty's Finest to

pull over a Chieftain for speeding.  Perhaps the Royal Signals Corp.  I could
be a dispatch rider on a stripped down Spagthorpe Wardog.

One of the funniest things I ever saw on a motorway was a caterpillar made up
of about eight or nine snowcat thingies (you know the things, white painted
cab things on caterpillar tracks) fastened together and doing about forty-
five MPH.  Coming back from work in the evening, on the same stretch of that
motorway (M3) I was buzzed by a Spitfire!  A week later it was by a Fokker
Triplane!  A very exciting stretch of tarmac, I can tell you.

This behaviour is probably more dangerous than not wearing a helmet while 
riding a motorcycle. Certainly the cost to society is greater. Shit, am I

  Well he kept getting mud into his boots so he duct
taped his pants to his boots. Unfortunately he taped up his left leg
while it was on the peg. When he pulled up to the start line and tried
to put his left foot down he couldn't and subsequently knocked half the
start line down. 

  A personal experience.
About twelve years ago my SO and I went on our first major road trip.
First week in June on an H2 from Winnipeg to Vancouver island. We bought the cheapest
PVC rainsuits money could buy and they shreded themselves in
the sleet and ice of the Run to the Sun pass (Sp) in Montana. In
Kalispell we went to a mall to buy rain gear but all we could find were
rubber hip waiters. All they had was size medium which was too small but
standing in the store I felt I could endure them until we could find
some real rain suits. I didn't understand the consequence of the crotch
being down around my knees until I got on the bike. I was OK while in
the riding position but I had to strain to put my feet down and then
lock my knees at stops. As soon as I unlocked my knees my leggs would
snap back up. Great entertainment for everyone. Green rubber hip
waiters, shredded clear $2.00 PVC jackets, we were the most pathetic
bikers ever.

  Oh, and one of the injector lines had debris in it so I had to run
premix as well just in case. No tailgaters on the whole trip.

Sermon time....

Why apologize? You're free to speak your mind here. Burn the damn flag if you
want to, trash the song, protest America's overseas jingoism on foreign soil -
America will survive it (though some reactionary types might not take kindly
to it.)

Why? Because America is built on _values_ and _laws_, not symbols like a piece
of cloth or a stupid, awkward-to-sing anthem that glorfies America's violent
beginnings rather than celebrating its virtues. Values like freedom, diversity,
and tolerance. Laws like the Bill of Rights, the system of checks and balances
laid out in the Constitution, the free press.

I think the ones who ought to apologize are the spodes who knee-jerked at your
"home of the brave" comment. I recall a quote that says "I'd rather vote for
a man who burns the flag than one who wraps himself in it." For the true
patriots are those people who love their country and its people, and want
something better for both.

There, I feel better now...

I've washed several helmets.  I used liquid laundry soap and an old tooth
brush, plus lots of very warm water.  After much rinsing, I used an old
towel to soak up most of the water, and left it upside down on the kitchen
counter overnight.  Worked great.  (Note: Spokane has very low humidity,
YMMV).

Norton are the subject of a programme being televised in the UK next week,

advises ailing businesses.

This generally means the company is in a bad way, but most benefit
greatly from Sir John's wisdom (and it's a *great* programme!)

Incidently the Morgan car company were the subject of his treatment
a few years back, but didn't take his advice, and are still in the same
trouble. Let's hope Norton are more receptive.
