Does anyone have a good reason not to get one of these?

So far everything I've heard has been praise but I'm getting
a little wary because of all the pro's and no con's.

Would someone review some con's for me and any pro's that
aren't obvious?

I had a bee fly up the right sleeve of my leathers and proceed to make
multiple stings just below my t-shirt sleeve on the inside tender part
of my arm between the arm pit and elbow. Needless to say I was doing
about 70. Fortunately the road was deserted and not twisty
so my slightly erratic driving (ever try to flail your right arm with
your left while riding?) did not put me in any great immediate peril.
I quickly realized the thing to do was stop as fast as possible -
I was not having success in stopping the attack. Once stopped I 
was able to dispatch the offender, climb out of my leathers and
remove the carcass. 

The bee must have stalked his prey and timed his entry with precision,
I was wearing full, one piece vanson leathers, boots, full face helmet...
My vulnerability arrose from not zipping the wrist closures and wearing
light leather gloves with short gauntlets - afteralll it was July.

Fact: Ed wasn't talking about synthetics, he was talking about additives,
specifically "Slick-50". Fact: You should probably apologize for doing the
net.thing and jumping to conclusions, then flaming (and a poor attempt at
that, for shame!).

Anybody who can read a chart agrees that synthetics perform better than 
natural oils. I use them all the time.

Much to my regret, the time has come for me to sell my motorcycle, as I am
travelling to a land in which I will not be able to afford to care for
it properly (i.e., garage it in Manhattan).

The bike:

	1987 BMW K75s
	~23000 miles
	red metallic paint; looks nice
	Ohlins rear shock w/ adjustable comp. damping, rebound damping,
			and preload   (cost if new: ~$500)
        Corbin Saddle (I believe it's the Canyon Dual Sport)
	BMW hard saddlebags (cost if new: ~$350)
	BMW recommended services done at dealer, and in addtion,
		I changed the oil + filter at 2500 mile intervals.

Also with the bike, you get:

	free Kryptonite U-lock (new cost: ~$30?)
	free Dow protector cover (new cost: ~$60)
	free random BMW parts (a couple oil filters, original shock)
	complete service records (since I bought it 10 KMi ago)

All this, for only:  $4000 

Location: Pasadena, California

Naw, this doesn't apply.  Remember, there are 3 times when any woman
is beautiful:
	-On her wedding day.
	-When she's pregnant (and past the morning sickness :')
	-When she's on a motorcycle.
	-When she's just said "want to come 'round to my place?"

Okay, 4 times.... (nomex underwear on..)

There are, of course, other times, but they are less universal.

 Try using "Tire Balance Plus" instead of lead wheel weights. This stuff works
extremely well. Some bike shops in the CT area are using liquid balancing
exclusively. It costs about $7 per bottle (one wheel), and is very easy to use.

	It's cold.  Let it warm up.  Simple, eh?  No, really, it's cold.
That means less-than-optimal fuel vaporization, which often results in
a misfire of the fuel-air mix.  If it runs fine when warm, then just let
it warm up before riding if it bothers you.

My thanks to all who responded. After more discussion with my brother,
I've decided to let it go. He says the paint job isn't original anyway.
He also says the carbs, air box, and side panels seem to be off a 1979
model. It's not a good enough deal for me to drive 800 miles to buy.

The address is server@cerritos.edu.  The commands are given in the body of the

arguments to the commands are VMS style file specifications.  For
rec.moto.photo the file spec is [DOD]file.  For example, you can send:

dir [dod]
send [dod]bruce_tanner.gif
send [dod]dodframe.ps

and you'll get back 5 mail messages; a directory listing, 3 uuencoded parts
of bruce_tanner.gif, and the dodframe.ps file in ASCII.

Oh, wildcards (*) are allowed, but a maximum of 20 mail messages (rounded up to
the next whole file) are send.  A 'send [dod]*.gif' would send 150 files of
50K each; not a good idea.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

BTW, this info is in the DoD FAQ monthly posting. Does anyone actually

    I HIGHLY recommend purchasing MagLites, i.e., cop-style water-

    get a Xenon bulb.  Check flashlight periodically to make sure
    the button didn't get pressed on and discharged the batteries.

In Illinois the MRC:RSS range sessions are not usually canceled due to rain
but ERC range sessions must be canceled or postponed if it is raining. Note
that in the MRC:RSS Special Situations segment that it is stressed that one
shouldn't make any sudden speed or direction changes on slippery surfaces.
Over half of the ERC range exercises involve sudden speed or direction changes
(rear wheel skid, quick stop, quick stop on a curve, swerving, swerve then
brake, brake then swerve to name a few).

Hey, c'mon!  I've only been in this newsgroup a week, and I already
got mine.  All you have to do is read the DoDFAQ and use *only a few* of
your synapses!

I can see it: the perpetual twilight of the grid, lit only by the
fleeting foxfire of random daemons; the shambling seekers, lost and
unaware of the presences of the rest, searching ever searching for that
dim, remote node where dwells ... THE KEEPER.  Cry not unto thy gods,
oh pathetic one, for they shall not hear you; cry not unto the
Denizens, for truly they shall have no pity, nor shall they answer thy
weeping with aught but reeking brimstone.  Only by thine own wit and
daring shalt thou attain that for which thou seekest.  I'faith.
Forsooth.  Odd's bodkins, god's teeth and pizzle stick.

And as for the Keeper, by the Rose-Crowned Skull shall ye know Him,  
and erstwhile by the Hidden One, but no longer; by the Place of Dawning
will ye find Him, and do ye but invoke His name, truly I say to you, he
will respond.  But ere ye speak to Him, an ye would be numbered by your
own choosing rather than His, surely must ye have in hand the Roll of
Denizenry; and for that must ye look to the High Place, the Middle
Place, where resideth He of the Unpronounced Consonants, He of the
Bestial Number.  All this thou know'st; wouldst thou know more?  Then
must thou rouse thy mail daemon and direct him to speak, in the dead of
night, this arcane formula unto server@cerritos.edu: send [dod]dod_faq.txt.
Then shalt thou know all that your humble servant had to learn when she
was as thou now art.
