You think automatic transmission bikes will ever be the norm? It's awful trying to find a standard transmission car these days! On Sep 16, 2016 5:42 PM, "Paul" wrote: > Honda confirms adventure scooter for 2017 >

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Noob stuff

Thanks, Lar. I did take an MSF course this summer. No way I'd be on the road without having taken that. But if we learned about lane positioning, I must have zoned out. I don't recall any questions about it on either my permit test or the written MSF test. Regarding countersteering and leaning...

Lar, I tend to do that naturally just to discourage cars from sharing my lane, but in Texas the BRC and the DMV test don't cover lane positions. Good info though. -Kyle On Fri, Sep 16, 2016 at 5:05 PM, Lar Lar wrote: > Left part of your lane is called the "blocking

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Noob stuff

Left part of your lane is called the "blocking position" and should be used if any car is behind you. Motorcycle test here would put a mark against you if your were in any other position. If it's a 4 lane highway and your in the left lane then you should be in the right part of that lane,

Yup happens to me on my 83 650 every year when it comes out of winter storage. The float needles are stuck so as suggested drain the bowels and tap the carbs, then without starting the bike you can put a very small tube (got mine at a hardware store) on the fuel valve vacuum opening, open the

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Help on repair cost

The best bet is to get a parts bike and have a shop do the engine swap if you aren't able to do it. I don't know if parts like main bearings are easy to get for that year/model. For my 83 when the engine spun a main bearing I ended up selling it since it wasn't very easy to find everything and

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Noob stuff

As for lane position, I usually stay on the left side. Think of occupying your lane to prevent some idiot trying to squeeze in with you. So when someone is passing me on the right, I will sometimes move over the the right to prevent, or make it less likely, that they will squeeze me. Doesn't
