Don:

Can you start prefacing your subject lines with RMRA or the like?  I
really appreciate what you're doing in running the archives, but I'd
like a way to get around reading your adverts every day or two.  The
audience you're looking for (people who don't already know about RMRA)
will still see the messages; just give regs a way to killfile without
knocking out any legitimate conversations you participate in, please.

You know..... I'm not so sure this is a stupid question.   Your story of
acquiring your RC45, and your continued devotion to the V-4 configuration
amounts to a love story.  As does Andy B's willingness to motor on year
after year on a Duc 916 that gives him plenty of maintenance and repair
headaches.  You have to love a Duc 916 to do a 400 mile, triple digit day on
one.  Much less doing it over and over.

But then, I had a wonderful motorcycle, the RC51, arguably the most
innovative thing Honda has done since your RC45, and didn't fall in love
with it.  And as terrific a performer as the Honda CBR 929 is, I don't feel
as strong a connection to it as I did to my 1995 Triumph Tiger, a bike that
didn't perform very well at all, but which on which I had a terrific time,
including one memorable trip to Yosemite for lunch in the rain.  I still
consider buying another Tiger, even though, on paper, it is a silly choice
for anything.

And every Harley owner I know absolutely dotes on his/her motorcycle.  We
sportbikers are generally condescending toward Harleys because their high
weight, low horsepower, lack of clearance, and suspension is representative
of all the traits that would make a sportbike undesireable.  And yet those
guys simply LOVE those motorcycles.

I'm not crazy about being spammed to build someone's data base, but I think
the question of loving or hating your motorcycle is probably valid.  I thing
the same kind of question has always been asked about sport cars.   I
remember owning a few cheap British convertible sportcars, like the MGB and
Datsun 1600 Roadster,  which were terrible performers, terrible cars,  but I
just loved them.

I wonder if there are people who feel that way about their Chevy Malibus, or
Chrysler 300s?

You are welcome.  I liked that story when I read it, and still go back to it
from time to time.

Andy Burnett.    Ride leader of Group 2 on many Doc Wong rides.  Part time
instructor for Keith Code's Cornering Schools when he isn't doing whatever
software magic it is he does for a living.  Very helpful, and experienced
street rider.  All around good guy, and I'm pleased to say, my friend.   He
recently posted about the rear axle on his Duc 916 falling apart and the
wheel being held on by the brake rotor/calipers.   Nonetheless, he hasn't
sold it yet.

Chrysler 300s?

Only if it was a five hp motor, and you took it out and put it on your
homemade go cart, which a small group of us did in the 1950s.  Am I dating
myself yet?

Most of the time I just look at it, and say, "There's my bike".  I don't
really have any anthropomorphic feelings toward it, as it seems to be rather
inanimate.

Just show up.  You can find the details, along with the date for the next
ride, at Doc's website, http://www.docwong.com.  No guarantee that Andy
will be there since his Duc's rear axle is busted....

Single-sided swingarm Duc?  Did he have his hub ultrasounded
