Beer IS the official drink of the DoD. Period. No nominating, seconding the

Anyone else have a "VRROOM" for their bicycle?

It was a plastic box shaped like a semi-horizontal single moto engine,
that included a small motor driving a noisemaker that sounded remarkably
like no motorcycle engine I've ever heard.  It included a remote
key-operated switch to mount on the handlebars, with a rheostat to
control the speed of the motor (and thus pitch and volume of the
nois^H^H^H^Hsound).

Ah, to terrorize old ladies on the sidewalks of Lisle, IL...

This fit was probably brought on by the exposure CSS got on "MTV Sports"
last week.  Keith Code is interrupted in mid-sentence by a way-rad
correspondant (probably Lance Holst) who yells "No WAaaaAAAYYyy!"
Said journalist (and I use the term lightly) then takes off sans helmet.
Poor Keith was probably inundated with calls from starry-eyed
yuppie prepoid dingdong squids after that piece aired.  His only
escape seems to be sepukku.

I have some Fieldsheer gloves that used to turn my hands blue just
from sweat alone.  I finally got fed up with it and decided to just
rinse the excess dye out of them in water.  The amount of dye that
came out of those gloves was increidable!  I must have soaked and
kneeded those things for an hour and the dye continued to flow out of
them.  I dried them out and treated them with neatfoot compound and
they are much better and look no different now than they did before.

                                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hey!  I haven't been anywhere near your fork tube!

: "mud" near the top of the fork's travel. Since I recently replaced
: the fork seal, it seems to me that the nick may have damaged the new
: seal.

: So, a few questions to the omniscient net:

: 1. What's the best reaction to this wobble? Unfortunately, my bike,
:    a cm400, cannot elevate its front wheel at that speed, so that's
:    not an option :-( Basically all I did was slow down gradually and
:    maintain a *very* firm hand on the controls.

: 2. What might be the possible causes? Is it possible that asymmetrical
:    fluid levels in the fork tubes could lead to this behavior? Over
:    the course of the past few rides I had observed that at these speeds,
:    the bike would require longer intervals to settle after being
:    perturbed by road irregularities. At lower speeds I've noticed
:    nothing amiss.

: 3. Will I need to replace the fork tube to avoid chewing up new
:    fork seals as fast as I can replace them?

: Art "Cheap thrills"

I had the same thing on my bike.  My fork oil-seal had gone, causing a bad
wobble.  Changing the seal and topping up with oil solved the problem.

Over here, in National Health Land, you can get forks re-chromed.  Look for
similar services in your area.  Alternatively you should be aqble to get a
CM400 fork from a breaker.  Do you really need suspension on a CM400?  Just
put a bicycle front-end on and save some money!

Do something fast before you break yourself!!!  I am serious!!!

Until the late '50s, the gearbox usually was a separate unit (..box), driven 
from the crankshaft by a chain. This construction is known as 'pre unit'.
At that time moto manufacturers began building the gearbox and the cylinder/
crankshaft assembly into one single housing.  They called this 'unit 
construction', by which 'pre unit' derived.

Now a SAAB is what I call a _real_ vehicle (it's true, I did just above).  It
has decent seats (made by a top Swedish furniture manufacturer) with heating
elements in them, headlamp-wipers and power-steering.  When I get my SAAB, I

put lots of nice leather on and big black boots and accelerate faster than any
sports car and slip between the traffic and park anywhere and pay half the 
road-tax and make my women's hearts beat a bit faster and pull wheelies when

Perhaps I'll keep the bike.  Just in case, you know.....

I did it once with a CB500. Going down the stairs sucked. Going up was
the real adventure. Some how the bike had gained about 4000 lbs. I
came up with the bright idea of using a 'come-along'. Probably
would've worked if I'd something stronger than the door handle to
attach it to. Good luck.

No problem, I'm moving mine into the kitchen while my girlfriends at
work tonight. She'll never notice;)
