Motorcycles - August 2006

Can a locksmith cut a tubular key blank for me or will I have to get a new key from the (Harley) dealer? Thanks.

Ok, heres the deal, I have a 1985 honda aero scooter. It was running sluggish so about two weeks ago, I tuned it up, i cleaned the air filter, ran some carb cleaner/ injector cleaner/fuel additive thru it, and put in a new spark plug. It ran fabulous! For about a week and a half. Then i started it (started just fine) tried to give it some gas and it killed it. Started again, this happened 3 times. Now it wont even turn over! What the hell is wrong now? Help me before I drive it off a cliff!

I'm new to motorcycles. I've noticed my drive chain will turn a reddish color. I use WD-40 to lubricate. Does the reddish color of the chain indicate a problem, or is it from the WD-40? Sorry, if I'm ignorant.

that Harleys are most probably the sexiest motorcycle in the world. Just because its not very fast doesn't mean that it has any less charisma than a Jap bike (Actually, come to think of it, that's not very hard to beat, all Jap bikes look the same!!)

I live on the ground floor of a two-up, two-down block of flats, and I've been told that because of the possible petrol-related hazards, I am not allowed to keep my bike in my flat. Does anyone know if this is correct?

They say that if I get into a crash, I'm more likely to die than if I was in a car, and so on. Should I learn to ride anyway, and buy a bike, and use it as my main mode of transportation? It's cheaper on gas, easier to park, and so freeee! I'd be a safe driver. At the same time, if i DO get in a crash and hurt myself or someone else, it would suck (as you can imagine) and I'd be fulfilling my family and love's worst nightmares. uuuugh! Why am I so lured by these machines!

Ran great never failed to start... for about a month, then again nothing. Charged the battery started up aroud about 3 miles, and the bike dies and won't start.

Thinking of riding from Ohio or to Grand Canyon and Yellowstone. Been biking 3 yrs, but just moved up to a sport-tourer. Any advice that may not be so obvious?

They are 3D decals shaped like flames that I want to put on my motorcycle. When I search the web the only place that sold them doesn't carry them anymore and thinks the company may have gone out of business because they couldn't find the website. The color I am looking for is called "shade shifter". But I would settle for chrome or mettalic if anyone knows where I could get some. thanks

Like these -
I had a regular customer. Every time he got a tune up, he asked for his old spark plugs. One day I asked him, "What do you do with all your old plugs?" He said, "Before I go for a ride, I put some in my pocket. Whenever some jerk cuts me off, I throw a spark plug at their car. They make nice dents!" LOL

Here's another -
I was doing an inspection on this guys bike. He was a short guy in his late 60's. I saw a bicycle hand grip, on a lever, next to his seat. I asked him, "What's that? A parking brake?" He pushed me aside, grabbed the hand grip and pulled a 2 foot long piece of pipe out of a leather sheath. While waving the pipe over his head, he said, "Whenever some a-- hole cuts me off, I smash their car with this!" LOL

I really don't want to get a sportbike because those are just so uncomfortable and I really can't afford the bike I truly want (Harley VROD) so I'm settling for what I think is the next best thing, a Harley Sportster which is far less than what I would pay if I bought a VROD. Please let me know what you think I should do!
