Wow! I've been gone only a week and the ZX-6 vs. Goof2 has evolved into
nationalitic griping! Amazing.

Not to digress, but I just have to interject, the ZX11's I saw in Europe 
were blessedly bereft of Ninja decals. They had very tasteful ZZR stickers. 
So I think I've proved my case that the Japanese think we Yanks are infantile,
chauvinistic, cretins, whilest the Euro's are the cultured mature squids.
And Tod was right, the cheese makes them smell *wonderful*!

yeah - I know the sort of fun you mean - like sliding down an icy road on
your arse, wondering whether you're going to come to halt before your
bike does. It's usually best to stay as close to the bike as you can, cos
then you don't have to walk so far to pick it up....

:-)

Agree with you about only riding on ice when it's absolutely essential though!

Yeah, I made a trailer out of an old Fiesta axle and some scrap steel.
I'v already used it about 20 times.  Works great, even alone.  I used

Ramps generally suck.  My trailer cost <$100 to make, nothing to

This lessened braking force might be a blessing in disguise - easier to

Adrenaline will strengthen your grip, too.

It is cold out, you may have to use a lighter oil than you are

I have a big non-magnetic tankbag too. The trouble with mine is that it
interferes with the handlebar switchgear on full lock...normally this is
not too much of a problem...but when I went to France last year, I had to
turn the bike round in the car deck of the ferry...the horn button made
constant contact with the tankbag, so the horn was blaring away in the
big echoing cavern of a car deck, making me less than popular with everyone
else on board...unfortunately it took several goes to get the bike pointing

You might think about a couple of rubber bands around the gauntlets to keep
water from running down your sleeve, under the gauntlet, and onto your hand.
During a heavy rain I ended up tucking the huge gauntlets of my winter gloves
into my jacket to stop this (but then had wind up my sleeve at high speed).
A Velcro strap (like they sell in bike shops to put around your leg so you
don't get your pants caught in the chain) would work well too, I think.

I agree. I characterize my R100RT as follows:

* Not too light, not too heavy (handles easily yet doesn't get blown off
the road by 14 wheelers)
* Cruises long distances in reasonable comfort, yet nimble enough to 
provide a real thrill on serious twisties
* Handles well at freeway speed + and slow speed on dirt roads and worse
(and all speeds in between)
* Not exactly quick out of the blocks, but still provides the thrill of a
high rate of acceleration (after shifting into second, that is!)
* Can run all day at high speed on the superslab or putt along at idle
in the sticks (with torque and acceleration to spare to get out of difficult 
spots)
* Simple, proven design that's easy to maintain, yet refined where possible
(nickasil cylinder walls, chrome rings, electronic ignition, single-swing 
arm, oil cooler, stainless steel mufflers) -- I'll probably get flamed for 
this one!

You could probably take issue with these points and how I juxtaposed them
(and someone probably will!).  And there are certainly bikes that perform 
better in one or a few of the different conditions one might encounter over 
a lifetime of riding (and I wouldn't mind having some of them at different 
times -- like a Goldwing while I'm traveling the superslab across Nebraska 
-- or a BMW K bike while I'm negotiating Colorado's Front Range; the flip 
side is I wouldn't want a K while traveling across Nebraska or a Goldwing
while in the Front Range).  But are there any that perform as well or better
in all of the various conditions?  Certain HD models, perhaps?

If anyone has info on this, please post.  I wear 13 1/2 A, or would if
I could find any.  Such a size is made in western boots, if you can
believe that (I do, I have a pair... well, they're 13 1/2 B, not A),
but are about worth nothing for riding a motorcycle.

I currently ride in tennies, but now that I've got the new Aerostich,
my poor feet would feel unprotected and their feelings would be hurt.
Plus, tennies+Aerostich wouldn't cut it for posing.
