I am organising a motorcycle tour around Victoria and Southern NSW Australia, we live in Lake Macquarie, NSW but I need a name for the tour to put on our shirts. For instance earlier this year we rode around Tasmania and that was called the 'Map O' Tassie Tour'
I would like a reference to touring Victora (like something to do with them being Mexicans - south of the border perhaps), it needs to be humorous and short - what ya got?

I have a 2001 Yamaha XLT1200, and there is water in the fuel system. Spark plugs were just replaced, battery is charged. When you remove a spark plug, you can see the water shooting up when you try to start the engine. It has a 2-cycle engine, and the gas tank is completely full (18 gallons!) Not sure on what percentage is water and what is fuel though. Last time I filled it I put in about 12 gallons, before I realized what was wrong with it. I will siphon the gas out of the tank, but not sure what else I may need to do. Any help would be much appreciated!

...while sitting at stop lights it occassionally stops running. I still get the electrical. Then it will start right back up. It has a 2 yr old battery. It has a newer starter. I just had a new fuel pump put in 2 weeks ago! And no codes come up on the computer. I have had it to 4 different mechanics over the past year. None of them could duplicate the problem. Any help is VERY welcome. It is my only vehicle and I am a poor college student.

I am unable to refer to a dealer and the manual is in another language. The stereo options are locked, no music, no tape player capabilities......nothing.

Thank you for any advise in advance :-)

that cant do anything but read a code on the computer? Why do so many people think that just reading/scanning a code will fix everything?

Hi;
I just tuned up my 1987 Komfort Moter Home. I replaced everything, but I did not have a timing light. When I turn it off it tries to keep running for a few seconds, then it turns backwards and blows gas out of the carb. If this is because of the timing, what should I do advance or retard the timing?

I just bought a used bike and it came with a new greased chain. The problem is that the chain is not connected in one spot and it is a little too long. This bike has a single sprocket where the pedals are and three sprockets at the rear wheel(I dont know the exact terms but I have fixed bikes successfully in the past). Also how do you make the chain shorter and at which gear do you place it on? Any help is greatly apreciated!!

What kind of gas is best for my 1984 camaro. I use 89 because 87 makes it run rough and 93 makes it burn gas but some places i go for 89 it makes my car run rough too.

I found a 1988 Honda Prelude with 37,000 miles. It's going for a very nice price. I talked to the dealer on the phone. He said the only problem with the car is that it idles rough. Is this a big problem? Does this tend to have an expensive fix? Is this odd for a car with such low miles?

I'm test driving the car tomorrow so I'll be able to see for myself just how rough he was talking. I just don't want to end up buying a car because it's such a deal and then ending up paying tons of money to fix it.

My neighbors have banded together to complain that I'm driving too fast. First it annoys me that they've taken to spying on my daily routines. Second, I'm bothered by the fact that they would "band together" against me. Third, I'm steamed that they have contacted the police department to set up a sting to get me a ticket. And worst of all, they went around my back with all this and told my elderly father.

Here's the kicker: I always watch my spedometer in the neighborhood to make sure I'm driving well under the speed limit, which is 25 mph. On average I'm driving 15, and I always slow up even more in spots where I think kids might be, so what the hell is their problem? And how dare they go around me to a relative instead of saying it to my face?! Are they just assuming that I'm speeding because I drive a sports car, or am I missing something?

For example, my local airport has 2 main runways: 12R/30L and 3/21. 90% of the time, 12R is used, but every once in a while, they use 3 for no apparent reason. And sometimes they use 30L instead also. 21 hasn't been used while I've lived here, but satellite shows a few (very few) touchdown marks. Remember, I know weather can be a factor, I'm wondering why they'd switch under the same weather conditions.
