BBBBBBBBBZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTT

Sorry, but the Sturgis HD also sells leathers, and accessories (ie chrome &
tires).  We were there last week.  They even had 3 HDs on the floor but I
think they were for show only.  One was supposedly Willie G's original Sturgis.

Excuse me, but I can't help myself on this one.  And since Roid brought up the
subject of the Sturgis HD.  The other two bikes were extremely clean older bikes
(sorry, but I can't tell the difference between 50,60,or 70 HDs).  The irony
of the fact was that one of them had a little puddle of oil under the engine :-)

Oh yea.  And I got a great 52nd anniversary Sturgis T-shirt at the Ben Franklin
across the street.  Only 3 weeks early.

Thanks Chris, it's very interesting. 

Of interest, here in Canada anyways, if you're an instructor (like I am),
whether it's for cages or bikes, you're considered in the eyes of the law
to be an expert and your word vs. theirs suddenly contains legal weight.
Moral? All of you rec.motoheads should become instructors. ;-)

No.  Actually, the reverse is true.  Avgas is less volatile than auto gas.
One of the problems in certifying an aircraft for use with auto gas is
that some airframe/engine/fuel system combinations are more prone to
vapor lock, especially at altitude in hot weather.  To compensate for
reduced density at higher altitudes, most piston engine aircraft have
a manual mixture control.  (And since you've got less O2 and hence use
less fuel at altitude, you also have less power.  Off the top of my head,
I think the power output on my 172 was something like 70% at 10,000 feet.
That's why even small airports in Colorado have long runways.)

And not all piston aircraft engines require higher octane - it's just that
100LL is much more readily available than 80 octane.

Excuse the fuck outta me little girl, but why would it be that riding an 
883 defines 'posing?'  An 883 is specifically lacking in the pose-parts 
that the imports seem bent on copying: buckhorn bars, lotsa chrome and 
"tear-drop" tank,  yet gives lots of what a true HD-ophile wants: an 
easy to mod. engine and chassis, the torque of a long-stroke twin, that 
great feel of a Harley ride, all for less than a heart-attack price.  
Is the idea that you have to spend big bucks to NOT be a poser?

Grab the reigns, peter. If your namesake feels a bit shriveled on that
Suzuki LSwhatever, don't blame it on the bike, examine the rider.  If
the low price of an 883 means that there is one less obstacle to your
ownership of a Harley, go ahead, follow your heart.  Even that squirming
ego hiding behind an 8-line .sig may find that it belongs to a person
capable of appreciating a machine for what it is and can do, instead
of what you think it says about you.  Sigh.  Maybe not.

I suggest you crawl home and ask your mommy to sew up that big hole
in your clue bag, then try this whole concept again.

It was four years ago, but I'm sure I recall riding along the range
and making stops, no touchdowns allowed.  In fact one of the exercises
was with rear brake only.  I didn't mean to say they taught us to stop
without touching down as something to do all the time; it was just an
exercise.

Funny thing, though, my memories of the course I took don't match
EITHER of the ERC descriptions ("optional" or "new") that I've
recently seen posted.  We did swerving exercises at speed (and one of
the friends I went with dumped during one of them), they had the
business with the instructor giving last minute signals as to which
choice you had to make, but it wasn't as elaborate as some of what
I've seen described (basically just "right" or "left").

One of these days I'd like to take that course again.  Or some version
of it, anyway!

If you havve local occupational training centers (here in california
they are a separate organizations, some states put them into community
colleges or etc.) try giving them a call. They tend to work a bit
slowly (so better have a spare bike) but charge only for materials. I
had several bike saddles done over the years and the cost was
typically $20-$40.

One of them is a Harley poser . . bought a 73 something-or-other.
I rib him all the time about not riding it . . he says . . 
"Hey, I got a Harley . . . I don't have to ride it . . I got

What a loser! I mean poser! ;-)

  Well, I wont _thank_ you for posting again, but it is _about_ freaking

Konrad is posting again, I can once again read with interest the
articles in this group. Articles of late have been so unfocused. Now we
can get back to _really_ talking about important issues. We all know how
Konrad sticks to the subject, offers only pertinent, up to date,
non-biased, and oh-so-important information in his posts and follow-ups.

While I agree with the economic arguments for helmet wearing laws
and of course, agree with the safety reasons for wearing one, I 
have not seen many argue for the other people who are potentially
affected by a biker's 'personal' choice.  It seems like
a powerful reason to me to wear my protection.  (Feel free to 
read a double (or more) meaning into that last sentence.)

If you have nobody who cares about you (including yourself), then maybe
riding without a helmet is a good idea.

I don't know any facts about the cars, but Kawasaki ZX-11 can do 60-0 (mph)
in 129 feet. Of course it takes more with car, because a car is a LOT heavier
than a bike.

It depends on how sharp is a corner...if it's very sharp, you've to brake
more with a bike, but after the corner you can accelerate very fast with
a bike and it doesn't take a lot of time to reach the speed before the corner.

intercom from Nadar (sp?).  Does any one know about this?  Where
can I get some product descriptions?  Are these folk's the only
ones who make intercoms?  Who do you recommend?  Why?

Anyway, ya' know what I want....I want input!

Thanks,
Randy

   I'd have to give a big thumbs up to Mobil-1 15W50 myself. I replaced the 
   Yamalube 20W50 in the Seca II with Mobil 1 about 300 miles ago, and I've
   noticed a drastic difference. It's running smoother (Seca's buzz at around
   3500-4000RPM, but 5000 with the Mobil-1 is literally so smooth I can't feel
   anything), and it seems to have a little more oomph. I had vaporized some of
   the Yamalube before :-) but haven't eaten any Mobil 1 up yet (too early to
   tell).

SO. A couple a years ago the worst thing one could do, was to put Mobil 1
into a bike. It was said that Mobil 1 was a too god oil for bikes, too thin
(?) so the clutch would slip. What excactly has happened? What have they
changed in Mobil 1? Or was this talk just bullshit?!?!

I'm about to change oil in my ZXR 750 (ZX-7 for the "dudles" :^). And I'm
considering to go for Mobil 1 this time. I've used Motul "fully synthetic"
for the first 17 kkm. The most common Mobil 1 here is the 5W50, which I
suppose isn't the correct one for a bike?!?!?

Sorry, if the questions are a kind of FAQ!
