It was very late that night in April 1977 when Greg Danielson, mounted
on a 1970 Triumph T120R and I astride a '68 TR6R headed towards the
West Coast Vintage Cycle Rally in Visalia from Santa Cruz. We pulled
into a truck stop alongside #99 just south of #152 to chow down and
rest a bit for the last stretch of #99. While eating I noticed a
regular looking guy watching us with much interest, but ignored him
as I was pretty tired. We paid our bill and walked over to our bikes.
Just then, the same dude who was watching us came out and climbed into 
his car and sat there watching us. Greg and I knew something was up,
but thought he might be a drug pusher or maybe even an undercover cop.

We wailed down the onramp to #99S and cranked the throttles to 70mph,
but that strange guy pulled up alongside us in his Mustang and Greg
got really nervous, thinking he was going to ram us or something. I
made eye contact with the dude and he mouthed the words, "I want to
eat your meat!" with a serious expression on his face!!! Greg was
totally freaked out of his mind, but I remained calm and rather than
flip him off or anything (remember cage vs bike = cage) I merely 
shook my head and waved my hand palm down. He slowed down and took
the next offramp while we continued down the road.

Later, while taking a butt break (both versions) we tried to figure
out why the hell he had picked us and guessed he may have had some
kind of fetish about biker cocks or something. As they say, remain
calm and don't let the sitation get out of control. I don't know
what the guy would've done if we had flipped him off or whatever,
but now I wonder if any others out there have had that kind of
experience as I'm sure we weren't the first or last bikers he
tried to pickup...boy, what a weird night it was!

o	Hi,
Anyone know of products you can buy or have any suggestions for
protecting your neck (from pebbles, insects)

I was thinking along the line of a plastic thing that could attatch to
the bottom of your helmet.  (But not something dorky like a scarf -- no
offense intended to scarf wearers)  

Thanks,

On Cougar Reservoir, in the mountains east of Eugene, OR, there is a
popular hot spring. It's located about 100 yards up a stream from the road
around the lake.

The Forest Service put up a sign by the road asking the bathers to please
refrain from walking along the road naked, so as to avoid distracting the
motorists...

It's been years since I've been there, but I seem to remember that it had
a simple outline drawing of some naked people, with the obligatory red
circle-with-slash 'prohibited' marker.

It didn't say anything about nude motorcycling, though.

In a most interesting article written by gxw@crosfield.co.uk (garry wilmot), it is stated that:
=|Any comments out there on the new honda fireblade??
=|

maybe....I don't own one, but I play one on TV.  No, my room mate has
the CBR900RR, and I have a CBR600F2.  We trade bike occasionally, so
I've had a little experience with it.

=|how does it handle on the road?
=|

Oh, it handles on just about anything that could be called a road.
Sand, gravel, and dirt excluded.  It is however, twitchier than a
(think up original analogy and put here) due to it's short wheel base
and light weight.  But then it'll smoke any other production bike
in the twisties, and most other production bikes on the straights.
My roomie had it up to 166mph, while I've only had my 600 up to 
145mph (it'll go a little faster, I had a tank bag on at the time
and couldn't get out of the wind).

=|Is it a dangerous bike on account of it's inclination to wheelie?
=|

It does wheelie very easily.  All you have to do is roll on the
throttle somewhat quickly in first or second gear.  It is a torque
monster.  Unless you have a lot of self control you will get yourself
in trouble.

=|what's it like for say slim smallish 5' 3" pillion on short or
=|long (200 mile) runs?

I'm 5'11" and I wouldn't want to ride it for more than 50 miles.  It's
got a huge gas tank (compared to my 600) and I have to lean way
forward to get to the bars.  The passenger sits way up there...

If I could only have one bike (which is the case now) I would take my
600 over the 900.  It's much more comfortable on the longer rides.  It
still does wheelies, just not as willingly.  The only thing I really
like about the 900 is the little trunk under the passenger's seat.
The storage compartment on the 600 can only be accessed by removing
the left side fairing.  (Not hard, just inconvientient.) And besides,
I like the squid graphics on the 600 better than the 900.  And isn't 
that what it all boils down to in the end, looks.  OK, so he can do
0-60 in 2.9, while I have to wait a whole 3.1 seconds.  I can live
with that, because my bike looks cooler. :)  Of course, if I could
have two bikes they would be a CBR900RR and a ZX-11.

I believe you're thinking of the Spagthorpe (not SpagEthorpe, I think)
"Lone Wolf".  Unless there was a Lone Dog as well.

The Lone Wolf had a brief but distinguished career between the wars (the
World Wars, for you Americans with no knowledge of history), as a large
engine single-seater.  It had the characteristic growl of a V-twin, and
(as you mention) the first ever motorcycle anti-theft alarm, the
Auto-Howl. 

If there is general interest, I can look up the rest of my info on the
Lone Wolf.

If you do publish this magazine, you should pose the models on

Keywords: 550 Vision: What causes valve cover GASKETS to blow??
Organization: National Semiconductor, Santa Clara
Date: Wed, 9 Sep 1992 00:49:15 GMT


BIKE:	1983 Yamaha Vision 550cc: liquid cooled Vtwin shaft drive.

PROBLEM:  This occurred twice:

		I start the bike up, and ride for only a couple
		of miles when, at a stop light, I hear this
		"BANG!" sound and look down to find a cloud of 
		warm blue smoke rising out of the engine area.

		After further examination, I find that the valve 
		cover gasket blew out on BOTH cylinders, right near
		the breather hose entry points.

		The bike still runs fine, except now, because of the 
		gasket leak, it pisses oil all over me
		(so it's garaged right now).

WHAT I TRIED:

		After the first time, I limped to the Yamaha dealer and 
		bought new gaskets - $40 for 2.  I went home and tore the
		whole damn bike apart to get to the front cylinder and 
		replaced both gaskets (it was easy to get to the rear cyl.).  
		  
		At the shop, I asked the service guy, Ned (Mission Yamaha),
		if he knew what was going on.  He suggested that my breather
		hoses got clogged and I should check them and clear out what
		was blocking them.

		Well, I checked 'em and found nothing obstructing them.  
		I figured that if there was anything obstructing them, the
		little "explosion" blew it out. 

		So, I replaced the gaskets (took at least 4 hrs) and, sure 
		enough, it happened again a week later.

		This time, I don't think the gaskets tore, so I can probably 
		use the same ones again.  BUT I'm not replacing a thing until
		I know what's causing this (I have a feeling that it will
		cost mucho more money).


		If the breather hoses were clogged, why would it explode and
		spit out smoke like that??
	
		ANY IDEAS???????
		

	Any and all even remotely intelligent comments are invited.

If you want to really embarass 'em, do this:

At the light, rev it a few times to get the engine growling, 
then when the light changes drive off _real_ slow.  The clown jumps out
in front, realizes that you're not playing, and feels really stupid.

With all these aftermarket goodies (the crankcases are what surprised
me) is it possible to build a "Harley" engine that has no Harley parts
in it?

Sorry, but at DoD minimum speed it is impossible to speak. There is just 
too much wind noise.  At that speed I am spending all my concentration 
allowance on riding, and cannot afford anymore thought for words.
However, when I finish a ride and the bike is in the garage cooling down, 
the single word that comes to mind is:

    BEER.
