live free but quietly or die what a great day got back home last night from some fantastic skiing in colorado and put the battery back in the fxstc cleaned the plugs opened up the petcock waited a minute hit the starter and bingo it started up like a charm spent a restless night anticipating the first ride du saison and off i went this morning to get my state inspection done now my bike is stock so far except for hd slash cut pipes and all went well with my new hampshire state inspection meaning all my lights worked ok until the dude produces a decibel meter and tells me about the new nh law about mc noise huh sez i and he has me start her up and rev to about rpm i fail cuz i register db and the max allowed is if i fail with these pipes there are gonna be a whole lotta seriously pissed off bikers round here when they go for inspection but hey its a new experience i have never really felt like a menace to society before i parked dismounted and walked in to my building with a slight swagger to my step and a narrow lidded look i sensed my faculty colleagues unease with my new intimidating status and women s glances seemed to linger just a little longer or perhaps that was my imagination sigh now i need to install my new bub pipes and single fire ignition i wonder how i will do after that russ hughes fxstc dod e love yeah that s the feeling you get when you like something as much as your motorcycle sonny barger as told to me by ed campbell who has an old friend who was there at the time

ec bhp limit vetoed according to bbc radio this morning uk denmark portugal a few others have vetoed a proposal to limit ec sold bikes to bhp the reason is that such a limit is not supported by accident statistics a rare example of governmental wisdom the limit has a five year moratorium on it and specialist manufacturers will be exempt anyway any suspicion that this is a crafty trick to restrict that end of the market in europe to triumph norton who bmw cagiva ducati is the sort of dangerous rubbish which stalls gatt talks you heard it here first bill univ edinburgh replete with hp and a healthy blue exhaust

re its still cold but one thing is certain though its still too cold after about minutes i had to stop and hold my muffler for a while be very careful about this if youre really cold the muffler will feel fine till you leave all the charred skin on it when you peel your hands off i speak from experience you can also do all kindsa americanism of the day damage to your circulation warming hands up on something too hot by far the best fastest and safest way to do it is to shove the hands up the opposit sleeves and stand there like a ming emporer for a while five minutes should do it

re freezing and riding every spec of alertness to keep from getting squished otherwise it s not only dangerous it s unpleasant the same goes for cold and fatigue as i once took a half hour nap at a gas station to insure that i would make it yeah hypothermia is much more detrimemtal to your judgement and reactions than people realise i wish i had the patience to stop when i should one day i ll pay for it if you begin to shiver stop and warm up thoroughly if you leave it till the shivering stops this doesnt mean you re ok again it means you re a danger to yourself and everyone else on the road your brain and body are working about as fast as a tree grows you will not realise this yourself till you hit something the next stage is passing out this usually means falling off

crappy honda cx hi i just have a small question about my bike being a fairly experienced bmw and mz mechanic i just don t know what to think about my honda she was using too much oil for the last km on my trip to daytona bike week this spring and all of a sudden she trailed smoke like hell and was running only on one cylinder i towed the bike home and took it apart but everything looks in perfect working order no cracks in the heads or pistons the cylinder walls look very clean and the wear of pistons and cylinders is not measurable all still within factory specs the only thing i could find however was a slightly bigger ring gap on the right cylinder the one with the problem but it is still way below the wear limit given in the clymer manual for this bike any syggestions what else could cause my problem do i have to hone the cylinder walls make them a little rougher in a criss cross pattern in order to get better breaking in of my new rings won t that increase the wear of my pistons please send comments to sruhl mechanical watstar uwaterloo ca thanks in advance stef stefan ruhl german exchange student don t poke into my privacy
