Yes, you give reasonable advice, in the dry a locked rear wheel may
be a good friend, but in the wet you musn't trust it. A locked front
wheel in the dry is not much of a friend but in the wet it's lethal.
(When you motorcycle in Ireland, you learn about the wet!)
And even counting the cost of tyres, its probably still a good idea
to practice, cause its easier to analyze and modify your technique
in a simulated situation, and I've always found that the back of 
an 18 wheeler closing on me at 70 - 80 mph has a way of clouding my 
thinking... Riding a dirt bike in wet conditions can be very
educational, however if you live in California or SW USA then I guess
this isn't too easy...
You should always remember that a time will come when it's better for 
you health that you and the bike should part company, and if you're
one of those people who feels that the Captain should go down with his
ship should remember the adage "He who rides and runs away, lives to
ride another day".
The damage to the bike will be less severe without your weight adding
to the impact forces.


But to the last (only) point of this:

If you make a habit of locking wheels and sliding at 150mph, but
nearly never use your back brake, the I guess you eat a lot of hospital
food.....

Dont forget to set the alarm....

WOWEEE!! 10,000 miles between adjustments is incredible!!! I've just
got hold of  a new chain and sprocket set for mine, so I'll give your
method a go - but - do you find that the lube gets sprayed all over the
bike?? The thing I liked about PJ1 was that it did at least stay on the
chain rather than be flung all over the bike, which is what happened with
a lot of other things I've tried! I got 26000 miles out of the last

of your chain!

There have been some articles on tire pressures over the past little while,
and this has brought a question to mind.

Some people seem to advocate running their tires at pressures near the
maximum specified by the manufacturer (such pressure usually found on the
sidewall).

I have also heard of the 10% rule (hot press. == cold press. + 10%).

I have been running my tires at what Suzuki recommends for the bike.

What is the real scoop on tire pressures?

You know, it's funny, but my parents (and my wife's parents) always led
us to believe that a child's _parents_ are responsible for taking reasonable
steps to prevent him or her from access to an attractive nuisance.
As a parent, if someone tried to sue me for a kid dropping my bike
on himself, I'd find some way to countersue on the grounds that letting
a child play with a dangerous piece of machinery (a motor vehicle) owned
by someone else and in a parking lot constitutes child abuse or reckless
endangerment.

Another rec.moto-ist mentioned an incident last year, in which a curious
child, mother in trail, wanted to look at a freshly ridden bike.  After
being told several times not to touch the hot, shiny parts, guess what
the kid put his hand on.  At which point the mother started screaming
bloody murder at the humble narrator...

Some people are not competent to be parents, and should be sterilized.
Unfortunately, nobody is competent to judge who is competent to parent...

Consider it jest.  None of the 'rantings' I've read (or posted)

Unless, of course, your first and _only_ bike is a Harley and you

Someone I know here in the Noretheast paid $1500 for his straight leg
frame. It was perfect, and I mean p-e-r-f-e-c-t. Frame prices are 
going up. Some of the Yups are getting sick of seeing their 'custom'
Evo classic lookalikes at every bar in town. Now they want the real
thing and will pay top dollar for it. The builders are making a mint
which is driving prices up on major components.

My brother paid $1200 for his '48 frame two years ago, and was 
recently offered $2,000 for it. 1948 was a one off frame (springer
Pan).

Actually, you can probably get 80hp from the 900 with a cam, exhaust,

As has been mentioned, belt drives, primary or secondary, do not hold
up well in performance applications.

Another drawback is that the HD rear belt limits the size of rear tire 
you can graft in there. The chain conversion comes with an offset
tranny sprocket and wheel sprocket spacer which will allow up to
a 190 size tire inside a Softail swingarm.

Not tough but damned stupid.  Who the hell wants to be 18 again?
Or 45 for that matter.
