Motorcycles - February 2007

Im looking into getting some sort of scooter or moped or Vespa to drive around town and to work every day.
My question is - the wheels seem small. Is it hard to steer and drive?
What are you experiences with them? Like them or not? Its not for long distance drives, only to work and market. I work about 3 miles from home.

I am thinking of buying my first Harley & joining an owners club. I am concerned that they will not want me as a member of their club because of my sexual orientation (hetrosexual).

I realise that normally Harley owners are gay & I'm cool with that, what they get up to in their own homes is their choice, we're all adults after all.

I just don't want to send out the wrong messages to any of the other club members that I am interested in them sexually. Whilst I have always enjoyed the company of other men I feel that at my time of life it's too late for me to be making such a major lifestyle change. I'm just don't want to end up playing the "two postmen & no letter box" game with some big hairy "bear".

What should I do? Buy a Harley or remain straight?

Serious answers only.

The factory Dunlop is too wide. Not only do I see no need for the excess width, it degrades handling, especially in what most people call bad weather. Any suggestions? No, I won't park it.

I thought this was supposed to be a place to ask questions about motorcycles. Scooters are not motorcycles. ATV's are not motorcycles, they are cars with handlebars instead of steering wheels.

I have the cylinder completely removed, but am having problems with removing the piston from the push rod, I have removed the pins on each side. Now what do I do from there, I dont want to hurt the rod bearings, so I thought I'd ask before I force it out.

I'm wanting to take off the fairing on my 1999 kawasaki 1000 police motorcycle and convert it to a standard headlight assembly. Does anyone know what my options are? Does anybody have pictures of similar work done? Thank you for any responses.

I need to know if anyone can walk me through how to reset the tilt sensor on my RC51; i high-sided, slid the bike about 100 feet and can't get the engine to turn over. Coil, fuse, plugs and fuel line are all good, fuel pump turns on with ignition, but no fuel or spark. I'm guessing it's not as complicated as I'm making it. Thanks in advance.
