I would be pretty reluctant to use a filter that just happens to look the
same. Have you tried cutting one of each open to see what's inside?

i can't think of too many roads w/ lanes big enough for a cage and a moto
simultaniously (next to each other), except in a lane splitting condition.
maybe i don't get it.  i looked to the FAQ (let us know, ryan, if you need
a copy) for wisdom, and (hopefully) attached the portion pertaining to
splitting.  i understand splitting but, perhaps someone could specifically lay
out the differences between splitting and sharing.

                          =====================

Q: What is lane splitting, and why would I want to do it?

A: Lane splitting is when you ride between the lanes of traffic.  This
   is legal in some states, not forbidden in others, and illegal in
   still others.  It can be an enormous time-saver when the freeway
   turns into a parking lot at quitting time.  Some people - including
   some motorcycle magazine editors - advocate lane splitting and have
   done so for years.  Others, thinking of how erratic the average
   cager is already, prefer not to take the chance of being creamed
   when someone changes lanes or opens a door to dump a spittoon.

   Some people make a distinction between lane splitting and lane
   sharing.  The same comments apply.

OK, I'll bite.  Do you REALLY shift from 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 etc. WITHOUT
using the clutch?  Is this thought to be good for the transmission and
good driving practice?

Sure,

Boil it in milk for at least 36 hours, remove it from the milk, then set
it on the floor.
Make a clay replica of the battery.  Pry off the remaining year and month
little dots from the date-of-purchase tag and place them on the replica.
Aqquire a live chicken.
Trim the toenails off the chicken, allowing them to fall onto the replica.
Pluck the chicken and put the feathers aside,  release the chicken
WARNING - plucking a live chicken can drive you insane.
Remove your clothes, smear your body with spooge, roll around in the
feathers while reciting in reverse order the Spagthorpe ancestral line.

This should bring any old battery back to hale and hearty life.

There are dozens (if not hundreds) of insurance companies out there....
insurance in America is not a utility (basic service impractical for more
than one company to provide in any one area... common examples are water,
local telephone service, electricity, etc.).  Due to lack of competition
in these areas, they are regulated by goverment to protect the public from
a monopoly that could otherwise do whatever they wanted ('cause if you don't
like it, you've got no other company to turn to).

As there are so many insurance companies, they must compete for your dollar.
Free Competition (tm -- you heard it here first!) has been shown to be
a Good Thing.

An insurance commissioner, or anything else getting in the way of a free
market will tend to screw things up.  Look at California's messed up
insurance situation where government stepped in and diddled a (reletavly)
free market.  Look at any No-Fault state. What a mess.

Everyone I know, including myself, runs master links. No problem. I'm sure

Riders!

I've been riding Nortons in all conditions, rain, and even
SNOW (February, 1975) in San Francisco since 1974, and I've
NEVER had a problem with our STREETCAR (not trolleys please)
tracks.

The are flush with the road surface, and they're not deep
or wide enough to cause any problems if you know how to cross
them.

I suppose newcomers and people unfamiliar with STREETCAR or
TRAM tracks are freaked by them.

I have not been foiled by them either on my motorbikes, or
even my ten-speed bicycles.

Bloody foreigners no doubt!

PS --- Trivia: It's South of the SLOT for South of Market (SOMA)
       because there used to be CABLE car tracks on Market back
       in the early part of the century, and CABLE cars run out
       of a slot between the rails --- STREETCARs are TRAMS and
       run off an electric overhead cable.

Not much has been done lately. The dealer finally ordered the Kayaba fork
kit and Brembo Goldline brakes, and the wheels are due any day. I've got the
old frame stripped mostly, and need to get the engine up to Dublin K. for the
mods. I've decided to dump the JMC swingarm and use the stock arm. I am not
entirely confident in the geometry of the JMC, and the stock unit always worked
just fine anyway.

I suppose it will be finished in plenty of time for Spring, but I'd expected
to be done by now. Just hasn't worked out that way. The way its been raining
here, I'm not terribly upset.

Maybe I'll even make a joust this year. Better not say that, or I'll jinx
myself. :-)

I already bought a ticket and reserved a campsite for the USGP in September,
I am really looking forward to it after the '92 debacle. Hope to see some of

Finally getting around to cleaning up the Goof2 for its winter's nap. I had to change
the oil, so I figured what better way to warm up the motor than to go for a quick
ride?

Battery back in, engine starts up easily :-) Tool around the neighborhood, no
fairing lowers, no side covers. Goof looks very strange with the engine hanging
out. Odd looks from the neighbors. Put about 10 miles on. Come back, change the oil.

Oh yes, I live in New Hampshire. It was about 13 degrees (-10C) out. I was suitably
dressed in an old ripped pair of jeans, matching ripped wool coat, shirt, ski
gloves, sneakers and my 1988 US Olympic "tuuk" (crowning touch, I thought :-).
Dodge ice patches, sand/salt piles, blocks of ice that kids have kicked out into
