	Tod, Tod...  Sure it's important, but even some True Motorcyclists
still have problems with brand names.  I once had an account set up on a
DECSystem-10 by a cute (older than me :-() system manager's assistant who
not only rode, but also raced motocross.  "What do you want for a password?"
"Suzuki."  "OK, try logging-in in about 30 minutes."  A couple of hours
later:  "Sue, did you set up that account?"  "Yes."  "Well, I can't log on."
"Here, let me try.  Username: I-V-A-N  Password: S-U-Z-I-K-I"  <sigh>

  Dang, I didn't start riding until I was 12.  Too late.  My oldest

Here's a couple of names / addresses / phone numbers for bike rental
in London and Munich:

Scootabout Motorcycle Center
59 Albert Embankment 
London, SE1 7TP
071-582-0055

This shop has a variety of Japanese bikes for rent, from small to 750cc or
so.  Most can have a windscreen and bags tacked on for a slight surcharge.
This place also rents helmets.  Their rental is daily to weekly, insurance
for the British Isles included.  If you want to ferry one of these across
the channel, the insurance is a *lot* more expensive.  Don't know why.


BMW factory outlet in Munich:
They rent current model BMW's, I think all but the K1.  Rental is by
the day or by the week, insurance is included.

Reisenfeldstrasse 7
8000 Munchen 40

Telephone (089) 38 75-0
Durchwahl 38 75-2 32  <=====  recommended
ask for Karl Huber, who speaks English and is familiar with the
BMW program.

......................................
I have specific models and prices, circa Dec 1991, somewhere in my junk
room.  If anyone is real interested, I'll try to dig deeper for them.
I'd suggest a telephone call direct, it's really not that expensive.
Just remember the time difference is about 5 hours to London and
6 hours to Munich.

Even better, if you are considering a European trip involving bike rental,
and want company, drop me some email.  I'm considering a week in December
this year and may rent a bike while I'm at it.

Also check the "other end" of the fuel supply--the filler cap on the
tank. If the breather hole on the cap is clogged, the engine will
develop enough of a vacuum while running that it will run out of
gas--by exhausting all the gas in the carbs and fuel lines, and not
being able to draw more gas from the tank. This is very easy to check
and requires no disassembly to determine if this is the problem:

Ride with the filler cap cracked open. I suggest using a bungee (TM)
cord to secure the cover in the closed-but-not-locked-down position to
prevent splashing of gas. If the bike runs fine, then the filler cap
breather hole needs cleaning.

I've always used a tankbag to hold my stuff when I go on trips on my
CBR600, but I found a problem with this on my last trip:  with so much
weight up high, the back of the bike has a tendency to come right off
the ground under hard braking.  (And shortly afterwards it decides it
wants to pass the rest of the bike!)

Saddlebags would seem to be the obvious solution to this - has anyone
put saddlebags on a Goof2, and if so, what kind were they and how did
they work out?

Bikes (and cars if you really want to) can be imported without import duty by
people who are moving within the EC, paid full duty on the vehicle in the EC
and have owned it for six months. This is what I did when moving to holland. I
believe i am not allowed to sell it for 18 months or i then have to pay the
import duty.

Outside the EC the rules vary from country to country and may depend on
the age of the bike but if it is new then you may find it is as much as
buying one here. The bike will be tested to make sure that it conformsto
that countries standards and I've heard that switzerland is strict on the
exhaust noise. Above all check with the embassy of the country you are going to
they will have the information.

I'm posting this for a friend of my sister, so please don't reply to me in 
any way, shape or form.  I make no claims for this bike and recite 
instead the caveat:  "Let the buyer beware."

The bike that is being sold is located in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada, just 
across the border from Port Huron, Michigan and about 60 miles west of 
London, Ontario and 120 miles west of Toronto.

It is a 1970s (I don't know the year, sorry) Honda 550.  It has 22,000 miles 
on it and new rubber front and back.  It comes with an old Shoei helmet (
full face I would assume as per the recent thread) and also has a detachable 
fairing.  It's black with an orange stripe and the asking price is $600 
CDN.

If you're interested, don't contact me.  Call Christy at 519-542-9777.  I 
think she'll deliver the bike within a reasonable distance.
