Based on the tone of Leigh Ann's article, she has a preconceived opinion
against national health care and has rationalized the motorcycle link to
support her view on this newsgroup.  Sort of like Dick Floyd coming up
with "economic" justification for his anti-motorcycle bias.

We all agree that Floyd's arguments were a load of bull puckey.  What
you are failing to convince me of is that one load of bull puckey is
worse than another.  (And the argument that the costs of bike
accidents comes out of all our pockets under national health care, but
NOT under our current system, is the biggest load of bull puckey of
all.  The hospitals and doctors will make their money in any case, so
we'll pay for it one way or another.  If the government doesn't pay
for the deadbeats, the hospitals will just raise the bills to the rest
of us to cover the loss, which is what's happening now.  And of course
you know who gets socked the worst: yes, of course, everyone who has a
decent job or savings and can afford to pay for their own care and for
someone else's too.)

Ok. So it's the second night since I got my baby back. Thought I'd
ride to Geelong (about 90 odd k's) to run her in. Really cold,
had to keep it under 6000rpm. Wasn't long before I thought
"Let's see what she can do". So pulling out of a rest stop, I got
to 6000, then power band hit and the front wheel lifted up, I thought
"FUCK!" wasn't quite ready for that.

I'm quite impressed with the rebuild. 2mm over on a 250 does add heaps
of low down torque (well, relatively speaking), giving the bike a more
useful rev range. Couldn't pull band from 5th or 6th gear though. Had
to go down to 4th! (still pretty impressive...)

Got pulled over too, just routine. Kept her under 80kph all the way.
Sigh. Just 700kms to go til she's run in...

Shckwish!

I was crossing Nebraska once, when a Large Stinging Insect (tm) got

without me realizing it. For a while; then I realized it in a BIG way!

I always carry some antihistamines with me on a trip; I took some of

Well, you got the feeling right, but some of your stats are wrong. :-)
The "proper motor" is a DOHC 4, redline is 9500, and third gear is good
from around 25-100mph. But as you say, third gear just about does it
all.

I feel that cranky, wacked out kids are product of their parents, not themselves.

I was at a gas station the other day, and after I filled up the bike, this 
4 year old kid asks "Why are putting on your helmet??" 
I answer "In case I get into an accident, I won't get hurt in the head"
Next question: "Where are you going??"
A: "I'm going for a ride out in the country"

His dad looks at me and says:
"You must know kids.."

I also have two kids that live on either side of me. One is pretty nice,
the other is a real brat. It all depends on their parents..

There are four motorcycles, including Gretchen, in the lot outside the

Might have something to do with the weather; 70's and clear yesterday, 53 
and light rain today.  I rode in before the rain and left my riding suit
in Gretchen's bags (good job, Don), so I didn't go home at noon and swap
Gretchen for Harvey.  A big event around here; ride to work again, ho hum.

|Question:
|why is lugging the engine bad for the engine?

Well, I read somewhere (great attribution, huh?) that the oil film thickness
in an engine is (among other things) dependent upon the relative velocity
between rubbing parts, and also dependent upon the pressure pressing the
rubbing parts together (of course, they aren't really rubbing--they're held
apart by the oil film).  At low load levels (idling, for instance), the oil
film will hold up at low engine speeds, but at high load levels, the engine
needs to be going faster to sustain the oil film sufficiently.  That's one
of the reasons you run higher viscosity oil in engines expected to lug often;
it allows the engine to sustain the film at high loads and low velocities.

Now, combine this with the extra heat generated by friction when running 
fast, and the less cooling effectiveness you have at lower speeds, and the 
viscosity of the oil, which varies with temperature, and the phase of the
moon, and you have a pretty darn complicated mess.  So, why not just take 
my word for it, eh?  :-)
