Organization: IBM Rochester

1.  what kinda tires should i (we) use for a 5 hour endurance at brainerd?  we
don't want to change tires (since there's only one set of rims...) so we need
something that will last.  dunlop recommended race compound 591's ($195 for both).
opinions?  metzelers maybe?  bike is '88 FZR750 (18 inch rear).


2.  how do you tell how far you can lean the bike in a corner?  pretty much
everyone at the track was leaning more than me, but judging by the front tire
wear, i have maybe 1/4-1/2cm of rubber left before i will start to ride off
the edge (this is assuming the 1/4cm of discolored rubber that's normally between
the obvious wear and the unused tread/rubber is not touching the pavement.  if it
is, then i'm at the edge now.  does that make sense?)  do race tires have a much
different profile so that you can lean them farther?  is it ok to try to ride
them off the edge or will i crash instantly when i reach the edge?  i can just
try to go lower, but if there's no chance of recovering, maybe i shouldn't :).
when john raced this bike, he used to routinely drag the fairing... :-o  i was
nowhere near that :).  oh yeah, these are street compound sportmaxes.

PS. do race compound sportmaxes have a different profile?

A recent report in Australian Motorcycle News said that Kawasaki was 
expected to field bikes in the 250cc GP in South Africa. The report said 
that the team was `debuted' at Daytona this year, led by Kork Ballington.
The riders would probably be Trevor Cooke and Robbie Peterson.
Now I know about Kork Ballington, but can someone tell me a bit more about
the riders, and a lot more about the bikes.
It's been a long time since those of us that ride the big K have had much
to cheer about in GPs.
And I know it's getting harder each round, but Robbie Phillis can still
grab the Superbikes - just watch him go at Phillip Island.
For those of you not following the Australian Superbikes, watch next year
for Mathew Mladin - indeed check the results from Phillip Island on October
18. Mladin has been just SOOOO FAST - typically carving 1/2 seconds from
lap records on each circuit, and is probably faster than anyone riding the
international superbike circuits this year.
And if you think I'm looking forward to going to Phillip Island for a 
weekend of the superbikes and the endurance series, you'd better believe
it!
Cheers

Hello,

here are the latest GP rumors I have heard:

GP1 500ccm class:

Team Rothmanns GP1 class is fix with Doohan and Beattie
Team Rothmanns Erv Kannemoto GP1 class is without a ride at the moment.
Erv himself would like to have the 21 year old australian superbike rider
Mat Mladin.

Kevin Schwantz has signed another year with Lucky Strike Suzuki. Doug Chandler
has also an offer from Lucky Strike, but Lucky Strike would rather have a
cheaper #2 behind Schwantz. Lucky strike made also offers to Carl Fogarty and
Mat Mladin.

Alex Criville stays at Campsa-Honda. 
Juan Garriga stays at Ducados-Yamaha.
Randy Mamola stays at Budweiser-Yamaha.
Wayne Rainey stays at Marboro-Yamaha.

Team Sonauto Yamaha-France would like to drop Nial Mackenzie and has made
an offer to Kevin Magee and the young Bernard Garcia as #2.

Yamaha Itali (Belgrade) would like to create a new B-team with Corrado 
Catalona as the rider.

Cagiva is talking with Eddie Lawson to for another year. Doug Chander, John
Kocinski or Peter Goddard are in the talks for #2. Freddie Spencer has
contacted Cagiva for a rider position, not knowing that Giacomo Agostini 
has the command now. (Agostini has thrown Spencer out in 1990).

Luca Cadalora (GP2 class WC '91 and '92) will not go to Cagiva, because he
wants $3 million a year and Cagiva says no way. Cadalora himself says that
he will join the Kenny Roberts 500 GP1 class team on a Marlboro Yamaha 
as the number #2 behind Wayne Rainey. This is to 80% sure.


GP2 250ccm class:

Suzuki does not agree with the riders Lucky Strike has choosen for next 
season (Zeelenberg). Suzuki has contacted Pepsi (7up) to be the sponsor
for '93. Pepsi was the sponsor of Suzuki in '88 and '89 in 500ccm class.

HRC-Boss Oguma says he would like to have only 4 NSR pilots. Capirossi
(Marlboro), Romboni (HB) and Biaggi (Rothmanns) are a fix. The forth NSR
could be for Bradl (HB), Puig (Campsa), Okada (HRC), Martinez (Coronas) or
Cardus (Repsol).

Jochen Schmid stays with Mitsui-Yamaha.
Loris Reggiana stays with Aprilia.
P.F. Chili stays with Telkor-Aprilia.

Philip Morris (Chesterfield, Marlboro) is talking with Kenny Roberts to 
create a new 250ccm team with Yamaha or Aprilia. Riders would be
Kenny Roberts jr. and John Kocinski.

Aprilia has offered Luca Cadalora a 250ccm factory bike.

Kawasaki has canceled its debut at Kyalama, South Africa because they say
the new X09 is not within the range of the other bikes. And to avoid a
public humilation they have canceled the show.


GP3 125ccm class:

Honda will give A-kits again to Ralf Waldmann (Marlboro) and Gresini (Pileri).

If Cadalora signs with Aprilia in 250ccm class there will not be a 125ccm
factory team but Casanova and Giro are getting help with factory parts.

Date: 25 Aug 92 16:39:39 GMT
Organization: University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada

First off, I'm not a racer but an aggressive street rider with 12 years
experience who could use some help. I have an 86 GSXR1100 and am in a
mid-west canadian city that dictates primarily a point and shoot style
of riding. The roads are concrete with aggregate. The winter road salt
eats away the concrete and leaves this polished aggregate that we have
to ride on. As a result I'm interested in mounting the stickiest tires I
can fit on my stock (read narrow) 18" rims. When I got the bike it had a
squared off 170 bias-ply Comp-K with matching front. This tire had good
traction but I ate it up going to Brainerd one year and had to limp home
with the carcass showing. I assume this was the result of a hot day,
high speed, and possibly low air pressure. How would this tire last in
town? The  bike would always want to stand up in turns. Was this because
the tire was squared off or simply because of the larger than stock size.
I'm presently running a 160/60 radial which is much smaller. Would the
increase in rubber with the 170 Comp-K make up for what I am led to
beleive are the superior caracteristics of the radial. Please note that
I now ride primarily in the city and trailer the bike to the twisties so
highway heat should no longer be a factor. Any recommendations,
suggestions, or advice would be appreciated.

Hello everybody,

you remember that my CBR 600F2 was stolen two and a half week ago?

Ok, its only 1 and a half week to go before I get my money.

You know, I had narrowed my choice to the CBR900RR, again the CBR600F2 and
the ZXR750 (ZXR-7).

After test riding the CBR900RR yesterday again I drop that one. Too
uncomfortable for city riding. Great bike nevertheless but the seating
position is horrible for stop and go traffic.

Same for the ZXR750.

But know a 4th bike came up. The GSXR1100. I test rode it yesterday evening
and have it currently with me at work.
Seating position for me and my girlfriend is perfect. And the power.
142 hp with 263 km/h top end speed.

Great. I love it. Generally I hate Suzuki. But this one has really my
attention now. Anyone knows any problems with it?

I'm sure this pops up on in this group a lot but here I go.

I would like to buy a cheap used motorcycle ($500 or less if
possible).  I know little to nothing about bikes or buying one
(although I do know how to drive one).  

Could someone email me some basic questions, I should ask or things I
should pay particular attention to when looking at a bike.

Arlo is Woody's son.  That means his odds of contracting Huntington's

until you are over 40.  I do not know whether Arlo has exhibited any.

A songbook of children's songs written by Woody was just found.
Arlo & his other siblings plan on recording these songs in the style

Holding in the clutch lever, rev the engine to about 10,000 rpm and then

My bike is really hard to alarm.  I drive fast, do stupid things, and can 
scare the beejesus out of myself sometimes, but I've never noticed that the
bike minds.

I think I'll go home, put it in the garage, and see if it's scared

Maybe I'll tell it a scary story, about using K-mart 10w30 oil...

Just finished the thread on poseurs in rainbow shades, shorts and T-shirt.
This discussion is the other end of the spectrum. Look, you're supposed to
ride them, not polish them. By all means clean off the dirt, and check every
nut and bolt is still attached (particularly on my bike), but getting a chammy
out is going too far.
Anyway, didn't I read earlier this month that Harley riders get their women
to do the spit and polish routine.
(On the bike, that is.)

Now you're going to ask me why was I reading this thread...

I would love to see this!!

Last winter I thought I had seen it all when I was driving
down a snow covered hi-way and came up on a dood riding a
motorcycle with his downhill skis, poles, boots, etc.  straped
to the back.  This area had lots of sidewinds and plenty of snow/ice
on the road, but a bike... sounds interesting.

'bout to lose my mind again and buy a bicycle.  The question is: has
anybody seen/thought about a bike rack for a motorcycle?  Sue Christ
(sp?) said she put her mountain bike on the back of her CM400.  I've
got a bit more room on the back of the R100R :-), plus I've got
luggage that it could be strapped to/around.

The first step for me is to go to a bike shop and ask about small
"universal" bike racks and see what they come up with.

Actually, we Kansans (actually a former Kansan), don't have a "UK" as
such.  There are two institutions of higher learning there, one being
the University of Kansas (always referred to as KU for some reason),
and the other is Kansas State University (called simply K-State);
one is in Manhattan, the other in Lawrence (I get them confused, having
never attended either one.

Just some scraps from my mental database.

ObMoto:  Stopped by local Honda showroom last night, noticed the doors
were still open waaay after closing time.  Pulled up on my Wing, went
inside.  Owner was just walking out, saying he had to go someplace, but
almost INSISTING that I return sometime Real Soon and take a DEMO RIDE
on his blue 92 Wing demo machine (I only asked if it had a CB installed!).
