Yeah, that worked great for me with skydiving (comparing trips in
an auto vs. skydives), until somebody said, "Yeah, but what about
comparing miles driven to miles in freefall/under canopy?"

I could only comment that the therapeutic value of being in freefall
was directly proportional to the detrimental effects of being stuck
in traffic. And I feel the same way about riding a bike.

Obmoto: A friend was looking at the acceleration figures on some new
hot bike, and noted that, with *just* enough of an incline for some
traction, the bike could actually be driven down the cliff faster
than a bike thrown off the cliff and allowed to freefall. I guess if
you gotta go, that would be one hell of a great way to do it.

The discussion of what bikes to take on long trips, punctuated by
the discussions of just where you can't go on a full dress tourer have
been interesting.  An interesting sidebar on the discussion arrived
in the mail yesterday.  It's particularly germain in light of the folks
who claim that you can't do a lot ot the trans Canada/Alaska stuff on
the big luxo-tourers.

In the December issue of Wing World, there is an article about two guys
who did the Dempster Highway on Gold Wings.  For those who don't know,
you get to the Dempster by taking the Alaska Highway from Dawson Creek
to Whitehorse.   From Whitehorse, take
Highway 2 (the Klondike Highway) to Dawson City.  The Dempster leaves
Highway 2 near Dawson City and goes North, crossing the Arctic Circle,
to Inuvik, near the Beaufort Sea.  The Dempster is 475 miles of dirt
road and from everything I have read in other articles, can best be
described as unpredictable.  Once you get to Inuvik, the only way out
is back over the Dempster.  It made an interesting read and gave
me a new perspective on what you can do with a big bike.  While the
big tourers have their limitations, much of the limitation is not
the bike, but the rider.

In another article about the Dempster, it was nicknamed "The Dumpster".
By the way, this article indicated that the roads were paved as far as
the junction of Highway 2 and the Dempster.  The writers recommended
a publication called "Milepost" for information on the Alaska, Klondike
and Dempster Highways.  It can be obtained by calling 800-331-3510.

Jerry is right.  While there is a DoD number listed, don't let this fool you.
The MSFCI means MSF Chief Instructor: he'll REALLY TELL you what you're doing
wrong.  Then he'll tell you how to do it right.  The most serious problem
with a sticky rear brale pedal is that it is difficult/impossible to vary
rear braking force: your rear wheel could lock up at the worst time
when you press down on the pedal, and you will be too busy trying to avoid the
ground coming up at you to think about the pedal or the meaning of 'high side'.
I hope that despite your comment about the front brake, you are using (or
trying to use) BOTH brakes to stop.  If you need to know why, take a MSF
RiderCourse (Jerry or I can give phone #s, email) SOON.

Never forget, even for an instant, that you're going forward as well. The
bike is not stuck to one spot on the ground! When I initiate a lean, the
centre of mass continues along in the same direction before the turn actually
starts. The weels roll *out*, the head tilts *in* but the centre of mass
continues in the same line. If you're an observer moving with the bike,
it feels like the bike's rotation in the plane of the lean is about the
centre of mass.

Try this at home. Go around potholes with your wheels, but straight over them
with your body.

So if you lean to turn and speed up, you rotate on all three axes (lean, 
turn & wheelie) at the same time!

by a German or Eastern European Comapany by the name of OMZ.  No not MZ
but OMZ.  It has a silver Triumph type inse in the tank with the OMZ
logo.  It is a two stroke, three speed mystery scoot.  If anyone has any
information on this bike or any other clues regarding its origins, please

 Of relatively recent vintage, the Benelli Sei 750 and 900, which are
derived from the Honda 500/4, and the Kawasaki KZ1300.  The only V6 I
know of is the Honda GL1500, a 180 degree opposed (flat) six.

 The early-series Sei 750s were gorgeous machines, six-into-six
exhausts.  Alas, later 750s were decorated with a truly horrible red,
white, and blue striped tank that looked like something Evel Kneivel
would ride.  Barf.

Rumor has it that a trail of wrenches was found leading from last known
residence of the deceased. The wrenches have been confiscated and turned
over to the proper high-ranking and high-falutin' members of the upper
echelons of the DoD, where they will be inspected, injected, detected,
neglected and all kinds of mean and nasty things, and the 27 8x10 glossy
color photos with a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what
it is have been sent to Cerritos for scanning and permanent archival.
Details to follow as soon as we make them up.

I would like to add that the RF200 has wider field of vision  than some  of the
top of the line helmets, x-8 for example. Dont ask me why. I think this fact
influenced the result of your experiment. Somebody else could have concluded
differently depending on what they used.

The RF200 is also supposed to be more quiet than x-8, now if it only looked
like one...

Kawasaki built the KZ1300 in the early 1980's.  A bare-bones bike, it was
built (IMHO) to compete with the stock bare-bones Gold Wing, which was
discontinued not long thereafter in favor of the full-dressed boats.  Kawi
similarly discontinued the KZ1300, but used the same (or a very similar)
motor in their early Voyager full-dressed tourers, before converting over
to a more conventional inline four.

OK, here's a solution:
    Without even looking back, extend your arm in the bastard's
    direction and flick the fucker off!
Works for me...
Or for those who are borderline psychopathic:
    Jump off your bike a high speeds onto the hood of the 
    tailgater's car.  Smash a hole in his winshield.  Rip
    the bastard out of his car and beat the living shit
    out of him.  Then recover your mutilated body off the 
    pavement and continue on your way...
This method also works for me...

Tip o' the day:  Take your anger out on somebody, don't hold
                 it in; you'll feel much better.


DISCLAIMER:  The above is meant as comedy.  Do not actually
             attempt unless your a trained professional.

Hi,

	I'm thinking about selling my 1992 Honda CBR600F2.  Why ? Well
it was that letter in the mail telling me how many points I've accumulated
and to expect another letter telling me when to show up for a hearing.
I think you get the drift.  But it's still kind of a thought.

	The bike is in good shape.  Still the fastest 600 in its class,
and that's kind of why I'm selling it :-)  Mileage-wise, it's approaching
12000.  Regular and meticulous oil/filter changes.  It has a Zero-Gravity
windscreen (clear), and a recent Bridgestone Battlax front tire.
Appearance-wise, it looks beautiful, but has a few scratches here and
there, as I've owned it for more than a year now.  I'd be asking
$3500.

	Just one small hitch.  I've still got a bank loan on it, probably
about $1500-2000 worth.  It could take up to two weeks for the bank to
process the title after the loan is paid off.  But once that's done,
all you need is to pay the rest, get an insurance binder, and then
we can head for the nearest MC-notary to get your new plate.

Rob

I've never had to push more than about a half mile. And I'd have given a lot
for a quart of gas, which may have taken me ten.
