Subject: Wednesday is Ride To Work Day
Email Forwards: Send to all media, all riders, all motorcycle/scooter
dealers, etc.Motorcycle and Scooter Ride to Work Day is this Wednesday
Motorcycle and scooter riders' 16th annual commuting day is Wednesday,
July 18th. Participation in the yearly demonstration is estimated to
triple the number of riders on the road. Motorcycle and scooter groups
and organizations actively encourage riders to commute by cycle on this
day. On Ride to Work Day, motorcycle and scooter commuters seek
improved employer recognition and support for this form of
transportation and increased public and government awareness of the
positive value of riding.
Adding more motorcycles and scooters to everyone's daily commute makes
urban parking easier and traffic flow better, according to Ride to
Work, a non-profit advocacy organization. Studies have also shown that
across the same distances, motorcyclists reach their destinations
faster than those using automobiles. Many motorcycles and scooters also
consume less resources per mile than automobiles. "Riding to work on
this day is fun and shows the positive value of motorcycling. For many
people, riding is a socially responsible form of mobility that saves
energy, helps the environment and provides a broad range of other
public benefits," stated Andy Goldfine, this year's event organizer.

Re: throttle sensor adjustment
My husband just adjusted mine. Let me get back to you and see what he did, because it is soo much better since he did it.

Re: Thinking about getting rid of my w650
I've been lurking on this list for years, but now I have to chime in on this topic. I think the Sportster is a great partner to the W650. I have both a 2000 W650 and a 1996 Sportster XL1200S Sport. The Sport has adjustable Showa forks and dual front discs. If you add rearsets and clipons and a decent seat, then it becomes a really fun scoot. ' No, it is not particularly fast, but the wide flat powerband and more than ample torque combine with decent handling and braking to make it easy to ride without requiring a lot of work. If you switch to 17" wheels and sticky tires it gets even better. Don't worry about the vibration if you buy an older one with a solid-mount engine, just install BalanceMasters active vibration dampers and fiddle with the final drive ratios (or even switch to chain drive) and once it is dialed in, then just enjoy it. Although any Japanese 600 can run rings around it, that is balanced out by the double-takes from all of the head-to-toe leather-clad dumplings on their cool Harleys who are cruising along at 30mph when you pass them on the outside of a curve. You do have to think about it though. One of the classic disparaging comments about Harleys is that they vibrate so much that parts fall off. It is true, too. the first time I rode the Sporty any distance, both mirrors, the taillight, and one turn signal fell off. I felt like I had finally gained admittance to a long and proud tradition! At any rate, keep the W650, get a Sportster too. Alex --- In W650riders@..., "Larry Botheras" <larry.botheras@...> wrote:

Re: NWC, mostly Honda stuff now..
James I think you're
right about the '75. I think it's the choice for street trackers. I believe the
first 2 years the 1 as they're called are supposed to have larger valves, so
that engine seems to be the choice for the tracker. Thanks again for the info.
Daniel.

Daniel,
I've had 5 XS 650s..first, a 1978 Special in 1982, then a
1980 and a 1983
Specials in 1993..a 1976 Standard and a 1978 Standard in
1998 (I bought all
of these while living in Hawaii). My favorite model is
the 1975 Standard,
which I have never owned..it had the "new" frame and
was, I think, the best
looking of them all.
When my XS wife left
me, I told her to take whatever she wanted, two of the
things she took
were the 1980 and 1983 XSs. Years later, she wanted some
money, which I
gave her to get some of my personal stuff back...and I got
the two XS'
back. I sold the 1983, never liked their tail end anyway,
decided to keep
the 1980..problem was, I lived in Hawaii and the bike was in
Florida, and
no one here was riding it. A former student of mine, Mariana,
said that if
I gave it to her, she would ride it, and when I came to GA on
vacation,
she would let me ride it in the mountains. Mariana has had it
ever
since...she rode it to my yearly TWO vacation last year and rode it to
Natural Bridge this year.
The 1980 has progressive suspension, one
over piston and rings, (I should
have bought the 700 kit) a four gallon
tank, an H-4 head lamp from an XJ
550, Travelcade seat..not the stepped
thing..just a flat seat, and Super
Bike bars and grips from
BikeMaster.
I am a member of the Yamaha 650 Society, and you should
check with MikesXS
for parts and accessories..he has some pretty neat
stuff. There is a really
nice, and inexpensive speedometer/tachometer
instrument cluster available
through Mike's.

James, love the stories and all those bikes . Have you
had an early XS 650.
I have 3 that I'm planning to built into a street
tracker or two. I went off
to the Robinson Bros. bike-a -bike course in
upper NY state a couple of
summers ago to learn from the guys who started
the street tracker thing.
I've got a wack of parts including a 750 kit for
one. Robinson has had
better luck with 700 cc they claim. I've talked a
bit with Omar and he seems
to have some neat items for trackers too.
Thanks for the reply much
appreciated. Daniel.----- Original Message

From Daniel : Love all those Hondas, you've got great
taste. I to have
had
CB1's (5)
A) I have only had one, my son's
really, I just bought it after it had
sat
for 5 -6 years, made it run
and then it moved to his house..it was always
a
hard starter, and ran
hot..pilot jets from my CBR 600's carbs which were
replaced, made the bike
a ready starter and it ran cooler (I think they
were
"42"s)
650
Hawks (6)
A) I have two of those, 'one with a TWO BROTHERS RACING
exhaust..excellent
bike for visitors, easy to ride, low seat
height..light/flickable/fun
85 VF1000R,
A) I have had 3
VFR 750s and one VFR 1000 (two of the 750s were given to
me,
and they
didn't run, the 1000, also a gift, didn't run either) the 750
that
did
run was a very good motorcycle, can't think of anything it did
poorly,
but it never felt like a keeper to me. My younger brother,
John, has a 95
VFR 750, thinks it is the best motorcycle in the
world.
CH250 Elite's (2)
A) I have ridden one of those, two CH 150s,
a CH80 and a CH 50.
Still have a F3 Smokin Joe and still in the
crate
A) I have one CBR 600 F3, it doesn't have a fairing anymore, and
has
clip-ons..and a 10" chrome headlamp, engine is blacked out, frame
is
polished...my son has it as well as the CB1
a new NSR50R from
Honda Racing Corp.
A) I have a streetable NSR 50, I have been using it to
teach people how
to
ride, and as a confidence builder for people who
have been away from
riding
as well..neat little commuter, and it always
generates smiles.
I've had a ZB50, still have a MB50
A) the MB5 was
the first stock 50cc motorcycle I ever remember being
tested
at up to
60 MPH
and TLR200 Reflex,
A) I felt the Reflex was a little under
powered..had one as a trainer at
LAAFB, we had NX 125s at Ceritos,
Hollywood and other places I taught,
and
the 125s felt stronger..never
had them side by side, but seat of the
pants
impression was, the NX 125
had a stronger motor and better brakes.
NX 650,
A) A student had one
in an ERC that I taught, I was very impressed by how
well it worked, I
looked for one to purchase for years after that, but
never
came accross
one.
EZ90 Cub,
I had a Honda 50 Cub, and two Honda 50 Super Sports.
I also had the Honda
S90, Honda's biggest seller in the USA acording to
David Edwards of Cycle
World magazine...always amazed at how many people I
bump into that owned
a
Honda S90.
and all 3 years '84,'85,'86 of
the Honda Gyro's, '74 ST90, '73 CR250M
Elsinore.These are some of Honda fun
models. Daniel
A) never had or rode any of those, but I did have some
Hondas that I
would
really like to own again..
My 1975 Honda CB
400F was an abosolute blast to ride, few motorcycles
have
been so
inspiring for me. When I moved from Ft Walton Beach/Eglin AFB FL
to
Hampton/Langley AFB VA, my wife and kids stayed in FL for a while. I
packed
my uniforms and clothes/necessities on that little Honda..it
took 18
hours
to get to New Port News..I really didn't know how much
farther
Hampton/Langley AFB was (just a few more miles), but I was too
tired and
too
cold to go on...the CB, however, never missed a
beat..just hummed right
along through the whole day.
My 1978 CX 500
got me from Hampton VA to Jacksonville Florida in less
time
than I
would have spent at a day's work, effortlessly and without
complaint..yeah,
it was big for a 500, and ugly for a motorcycle, but it
worked, and it
worked well. I would buy the GL Silver Wing if I ran
accross
one, the
GL is more attractive, came with better brakes and luggage, the
lower seat
height would make it more attractive to some of my less tall
friends who
visit me..or used to when I was in Hawaii.
My 1981 Honda CB 650 Custom
(SOHC) was like the CB 400 F on steroids,
handled well..especially after I
replaced its huge bars with SUPER BIKE
bars. If I had the chance to get
another CB 650 though, I would rather
have
the standard with 4 into two
pipes and an 18 inch rear wheel.
I have had 2 CB 650 SC and one CB 700
S (DOHC, hydraulic valves and cam
chain tensioner, shaft drive) A great
commuter, amazingly good handling
bike, the small tank and iron seat on the
650s wouldn't make a good bike
for
trips though...yes Itried that..LA
to Riverside and back was about my
tolerence capacity. I rode one to Oxnard
and back from LA, and down to
San
Diego...the bike did great, my bottom
wasn't happy though. I did have a
CB
700 S (the rest of the World got
this as a 750), I assume from riding
around
the island of Oahu, that it
would have been a better distance bike than
the
CB 650 SC..and if I was
going to get a bike between these two, the 700 S
would easily be my choice,
the 650 made about 80 HP, easily enough..the
700
made more though, the
650 was hampered by cartoonish styling..the 700 S
looked like a
motorcycle.
I still have a 1981 CB 900 Custom, it goes faster through
the mountains
than
it should, will do all day, two up touring as good
as anything I have
owned...probably one of the best motorcycles I have
owned, not the
fastest,
or most exciting...but just a damned good
motorcycle.

The typical Hondas are
more what I had in mind, VFRs, Gold Wings, ST
1300s..
all work very
well, will probably last forever, just aren't individuals.
I have a
Honda NS 50, so if you think your GB 500 has character (and it
does), ride
an NS 50.
I also have two NT 650 Hawks, a CB1, and a 1981 CB 900
Custom..all of
which
are characters.
My Honda CBR 600 F3 though,
just does its job...it has some character
because I have removed most of

The Englishman says "my eldest son was born on St. Georges day, so I called him George" The Scotsman raises an eyebrow and says, " what a coincidence, my eldest son was born on St. Andrews day, so I called him Andrew" The Irishman reaches for his phone, shaking his head, saying " our pancake'll never believe this"

for them.
Boy oh boy, did we go around!! Just because I'm old doesn't mean
that I am automatically stupid.
So, I proceeded to tell him just what his fast talking sales guy had
told me last year, namely, that in the one year the windows would pay
for themselves.
There was silence on the other end of the line, so I just hung
up....and I have not heard back.

What bike is this? Hot Night craziness
Well, gang, it was at least 36C today in old
Victoria, our neighbours got back from California and it was hotter here.?
Hellish hot tonight.? Kids can't sleep.? The dog, our Bull Terrier
Flashman, isn't even farting, it's so hot.? I'm not into "Iron Chef," so
have taken refuge in the eBay Motorcycles, 1898-1960 section, with a cold
Belgian beer.? So I took off my new $7 T-shirt (did I mention it's hot?)
but couldn't resist scanning its logo to see if you can identify the bike, if it
exists at all, at all.?? Excuse any sweat marks. Is it possibly an
Indian?? I don't know.? Copy in Temp Photos, (page 2) News from BC if
you can't get this one.

PS. I'll recover soon...
