Having been on a few rides with Victor "Road Kill" Johnson this summer, I
can vouch for the attraction of wildlife to his hawk.  I've never seen
anything like it.  Rabbits, gophers, mice, and various birds would leap in
front as he approached.  Without really trying, I know that he's scored at
least one kill this summer.  I've found it best to ride *behind* Victor.
It's safer and much more entertaining.

Have you ordered from Competition Accessories? If so, how do the prices

That seems odd, Chaparral charges about $5/tire for shipping.

I need to get a decent bike cover for the FJ and was wondering if anybody has
any info. It does not need to be the top of the line, and would like to spend
less than $50 if possible. I know that Dennis Kirk and Chaparral carry several
brands, I just don't know what's good and what's junk. Thanks in advance.

Tom, your on the right track, fer sure.  When you remove the right
leg, make sure you leave enough to help maintain your sitting position
during the twisties.

The rear brake can be moved to the left hand side, and converted to
being heel activated instead of toe activated.  The left foot then works 
as a rocker switch, with the toes controlling the clutch, and the heel
controlling the brake.

Be really careful with the brake placement, though, or you'll find 
yourself applying the rear brake every time you shift.

One caveat.  Stopping perpendicular to large hills will be pretty 
difficult at first - you rely more on that right leg than you realize.

  Wrong.  We got rid of lead in gasoline to avoid fouling catalytic
converters.  Toxic lead emissions were not especially thought about in
the early 70's.

i recall back in ~85 reading about a turbo ac cobra against a 900 ninja.
the ninja won. barley. especially in the 0-100.

It is a point of pride with me to ride no matter how cold it gets.  Admittedly
that isn't all that cold here in Virginia, but we do see 0 degree (F) mornings
a few times per year and below 20 often enough.  Anyway, in temparatures 
below 30 I have an insulated nylon "snowmobile suit".  I bought it at
the local discount clothing place and the only real problem I had finding
one was they are almost all either camoflaged or bright orange, sometimes
even bright orange camoflage patterns.  I finally found one in a nice
grey.  The suit cost me about $40 or $50 a couple of years ago.
In temps below 10 I would like to have leather or something similar to 
*really* block airflow.  But for the short commute I have this suit is
fine.  For longer rides I think I would get some leather underneath the
suit.

rather obvious sense of superiority because They Belong. Heck, if being
numbered makes you feel better, go nuts, but why not keep the spirit

No. The engine was announced this month at IFMA. The bike won't be announced
until January. BMW *likes* to have new stuff at the dealers when they make
an announcement. 

Scott said a lot of what BMW RA's OTL said is accurate technically but
not cosmetically. He said most of the photos were inaccurate since 
the prototypes were really two designs - one on each side of the bike. 
That's why the spy photos seemed to show many different designs. He *did* 
say it was really beautiful and it had the non-fork front end.
Someone asked him about price which he ducked but someone at the 
dealership said they would be around $10K.

BTW: I saw a Moto Guzzi Daytona this weekend - it was *really* beautiful.
Engine looked perfectly proportioned and the red paint was the equal
of a Duck. Even my SO, in spite of hating sport bikes, was enamored.

Someone say "llama"? Here's Agent Cooper's thoughts on the subject. I
was thinking of having it framed and sent to Jeff.

       "Diane, 3 P.M. Just back from the Lydecker Clinic.
        While a llama may produce some of the finest wools
        prized around the world, their breath on the other
        hand could only be prized somewhere in the far
        reaches of llama hell."
