Then Ed (and others) are absolutely right -- failure to yield.

Get a copy of the police report and read it *carefully*. I once had
my insurance temporarily hiked through the ceiling for "moving vehicle
after accident." Turns out that the guy who ran the red light and
smacked my cage from behind hit me so hard that it knocked me across
two lanes of traffic, over a grass median, and into a parking bay on
the beach. My cage ended up so perfectly parked that the cops just
assumed that I had moved it there after the accident and noted that
in the report (even though they asked me if I had moved it and I said
no at the scene). I pointed out the skid marks diagonally across the
grass median and the cops amended the report, and my insurance
company rescinded the rate hike.

   The cause is the high heat of the exhaust gases in the header.  The
combination of heat, chrome, and the (hopefully) underlying nickel layer on
the pipe results in BLUE.  Advancing the timing helps, but there's a limit
to how far you can go.  In general, any change that results in more of the
fuel/air charge getting burned in the cylinder instead of in the header will
lower the exhaust gas temperature (supposedly, pipes will not blue if the
gases are lower than about 1500 degrees F).

   Another route:  Custom Chrome (I think) markets a product called "Dyno
Kote."  You take a NEW set of pipes, put the goop in, roll it around so the
pipe is thoroughly coated within, and let it dry.  The Dyno Kote acts as
a layer of insulation between the pipes and the gas temps, supposedly
preventing bluing.  I haven't tried it yet, but when the time comes for
new pipes, I will.

HD (when owned by AMF) had it's largest production run in history.
I forget the year but it was in the early seventies.

The problem was the lack of quality control.  So many bikes
had to have warranty work done that HD posted a loss.

Producing more bikes doesn't lead to more profit.

What I'd like to see is HD produce a THUMPER.  Take the Rotax
engine they use in their production racer put it in a frame
and SELL IT. I'd buy it.

At least an H-D doesn't cost US$20k here, and I dare say we are a darned
sight better off than you Brits, even as "bad" as things are here. Oh, and
I suppose you wouldn't call what the UK insurance blokes did to motorcycle
riders either ridiculous, prejudicial, or criminal? One of my mates who
lives in London called it much, much worse.

On the subject of motos, how much does a '92 Suzuki GSXR 1100 cost to
purchase and insure in London, mate? I think that may underscore my point.
Let us know, will you?

If the mixture is too rich there is no oxygen left when the mixture gets
to the exhaust pipe.  No oxygen means that nothing more will burn.

Out on I35 south of the Minnesota/Iowa line, I stopped my bike at a
disabled car.  The CB was no help on 9, but on 19, I raised a trucker.
The scene was a half mile south of an Iowa truck scale, and the trucker
contacted another trucker ON the scale, who went inside and got the
scale operator to turn on her CB.  Then the Iowa State Patrol was
dispatched.

Yes! Exactly, we have a difference of cultures.  Your's is not the same as ours
and the situation with guns is just one example of the difference.

<other stuff deleted>

: make some kind of sense to me.  Unfortunately, your country has become so used

: for citizens to obtain them without considerable hue and cry of the "how come

The problem with banning guns in this country is that it would take a 
Constitutional amendment.  There are some who believe *any* restriction on
guns, including waiting periods to purchase, are a violation of our Second
Amendment.  The reason for this is that the Founding Fathers (you know, that
lot of troublemakers that started the American revolution) were very
distrustful of powerful central governments and wanted to make sure the
people had the means to take back control if things got out of hand.
Some folks consider this old fashioned and out of date in today's world.
In any case, our culture is based on those Revolutionary ideas to some
extent and fundamental changes of our culture would have to occur to make
us more like GB.  Whether that would be desirable or not I leave up to
folks to decide for themselves.
