	I do.  I've an open Kerker megaphone, no baffling, no cone.  It's
actually quieter than my cage, which has the stock exhaust system.  I
restrain myself by keeping the RPM's low and not opening the throttle
any more than necessary.  On the other hand, when I'm surrounded by
idiots or commuters reading books I generally drop a gear.  Having
to use the horn means I've already let myself get into danger.

	Well, for once I think Ed has cut through all the blather and
  has gotten to the heart of the matter - we're not really discussing
  the merits of Bud vs. lots of many tastier brews, we're discussing
  whether we believe that when you're down to Bud, you're out of beer!

	I would never choose to drink a Bud if (almost any) other brew
  was available, but after a hot desert ride, I would GLADLY quaff a
  Bud rather than sit there with cotton mouth.   And, of course, I
  would bitch the whole while about the miserable rice-water piss-beer
  I had to drink.

 Your mechanic is quite right. The Yamaha race manuals typically warn
 against wheelying for just this reason (oil pickup being starved).

Goodyear (?) seems to be doing a good job of it with their new

On Gretchen (K75), it's worst.  I suppose if I had a GS, that would change.
I've never dumped any dirtbikes, mainly because I've never ridden any.  I
guess I should expand my horizions.  My daughter is about to get her driver's
license, and wants a motorcycle.  I've heard that a dirtbike is a good way 
to start.  Should I take the plunge??

They're encrusted with zircons, not zirconium.

Zircons are diamond-like sparkly stones.  Zirconium

Heehee. They didn't show it on our version, just kept switching from the 
spinning blade to the outlaw, and then there were just boots on the ground.
I even think they were smoking :-).

Obmoto. I also forgot to mention the scene where the law walks into the
outlaw camp where the stolen bike was kept. No gunsmoke music, no "tension"
music. Just "Baaaaa. Baaaaa." of the sheep they kept. I didn't know it was
an Italian bike they stole. And one of the people at the dinner last night,
whose name I won't mention (you know who you are), also an Italian bike
enthusiast, got lamb empanada. What is it with you guys? :-)

Actually, I usually give a circling motion over the head (kind of like a
police siren-light spinning) whenever I've just gone past a speed trap or
if I know one's coming up.  I saved a friend of mine from a ticket who
was doing well over 90 in a 65 zone.  He was *trying* to prove his '88
Corolla could make my bike look like a slow piece of shit, and I let him
have his fun, and as we approached the speed trap, I casually caught up
to him, gave him that signal, and he plowed on the breaks.  I slowed down
in plenty of time, but his comments afterward consisted of:

"How did you know?  And how did you catch up to me so easily?"

My replies consisted of:

"I passed him on the way over, and my speedo goes up to 140 for a
reason."

So we rented two movies last night. "Timerider" and "Race for Glory". The
latter was your average race movie- small town boy fight his way through 
obstacles to win the French Grand Prix. But the former- hee hee- what a
laugh. It was soooo bad it was good. These scientists are conducting a
time travel experiment trying to send a monkey back to 1870 something; they
succeed, and also send this clueless Baja 1000 racer along too. It includes
classic high budget special effects such as seeing the cameraman in close
up shots of teh rider's helmet, lots of vrINGgginggingginggvrINGpudpudpud
vrINGinging with absolutely *no* movement of the throttle, and yes, that
world famous pasker-abbott two-up seating arrangement, complete with 
activated firearms. You've been beat, bob.

Sigh.  No, it's not.  It may be unavoidable if you keep the stock mushy
