Kids in cages get such a thrill out of waving at 'cyclists.

My friend likes to encounter cages with two kids in the back
seat, one of 'em looking behind and the other one not 
paying attention to what's going on. The one kid'll wave, he'll
wave back to the kid, the kid'll poke the sibling-without-a-clue
and point back to him on the motorcycle. At this point one
has told the other that yes indeed he was able to get the
motorcyclist to wave to him. Then the sibling-without-a-clue
will wave at him and he won't wave back. This always results
in a scowl from one sibling to the other occasionally 
accompanied with a punch on the arm or a slap in the face. The
ensuing fight occasionally results in mom or dad pulling over
to the side of the road and threatening the pair.

They also like to see variety in hand gestures:

I don't know about the the particular product you were using, but I've
used scratch removers on our helicopter bubbles. This stuff is very hard,
optical quality cast acrylic (Lexan?). Polishing out the scratches only
took me a 1/2 hour or so, and this is a large amount of glass probably
100 times larger than a motorcycle shield. Try using the polish (which
is just a more abrasive product than the cleaner). We have noticed that
some products work better than others.

For *badly* scratched plastic, there's a product called MicroMesh which
is a graduated set of abrasive sheets. You start with a coarse grit, and
work to a finer and finer abrasive.

Does anybody know if "tear offs" are available for popular helmet face
shields? I hit a big bug at about 120^H^H^H55 last weekend, and was
almost blinded by the bug guts. Wiping with my glove didn't help much,
and opening the face shield at that speed was out of the question. A
tear off would have been perfect, and would also solve a lot of the
scratching problems.

I can second the poster who recommended Tr 20 through NY.  I grew up in a
small town in US 20 in Central NY.  It is a really pretty road.  Starts in
the western Berkshires by the Mass border and follows the Mohawk Valley
then takes you into the northern Finger Lakes region and then to Western
NY.  A nice ride with not a ton of traffic and not a lot of large towns.
20 is nice in Massechusetts also.

There are LOTS of good rides in New York State however.  Try 9W up the 
Hudson Valley or 145 up through the Catskills or Rt 28/30 up through the
Adirondacks.  Lots of nice rides out in the Finger Lakes area also.

I'm not absolutely sure about the etiology, but the first time I heard/read
of it was in _Serpico_ (if that's the correct title).  I recall that a 
scumbag is a previously occupied condom which contains remnants of its use.
One of my colleagues, a former member of our fine military establishment,
has told me that this definition is correct, but he didn't know the full, 
colorful history behind the development of the lofty designation, "scumbag".

ObMcy:  If you place used lubricated condoms over your pegs, your 
  ride will slide through the hard, tight curves, and you might not 
  have to worry so much about people wanting to borrow your ride.

Hey, folks.  Apparently my last attempt at this post didn't make it, or went
to some random newsgroup, so if you've seen this twice, sorry.

Shannon and I are going to be taking off this coming Saturday, 8/30, and
coming back on Monday, 9/7.  We'll take probably 3 days between Seattle
and the San Francisco area, putting us into town on 8/31.  We'll hang out
there for a few days with my uncle, then on about 9/4, we'll take two days
to go from San Fran to Boise to visit friends of Shannon.  On 9/7 we'll
head from Boise home to Seattle.

We're going to try to spend as little time as possible on freeways.  We
won't do any freeway time until we near San Fran, and Boise to home might
be fully freeway just because there isn't a good candidate nearby for the
majority of the trip.  I haven't looked at the map for the San Fran to
Boise part of the trip.  Likely we'll camp somewhere near Winnemucca
though.

In San Fran, I'm going to make sure we ride Skyline up to Alice's, and also
I want to visit Arlen Ness' shop.

If anybody wants to

- suggest routes
- ride part of the way with us
- meet us for a beer or dinner or whatever
- ride Skyline or down to Alice's


or anything else I probably forgot, send me mail.  If you're in the Bay
Area, and I don't get your mail in time, you might try getting in touch
with Godfrey DiGiorgi, as we'll definitely be meeting him while we're in
town.

Gee, it's a good thing you had time to cool off, Joe.

Because they haven't spent so long on it. The regular pillions soon
get that gritted-teeth frozen-faced look. It takes a lot of guts to
ride a Harley. The weight helps to smooth the ride :-)
