cool vid....just think what physics would occur if the roller that the rear wheel is spinning on would freeze up!

i would try a couple of things, make sure you spray some WD40 or better yet, some Tri-Flow in the lock mechanism to make sure it is turning all the way. Then when you have the lock turned (say "honey, you got a second?", give the top of the seat a good smack from top. It just may pop up. If you get it off, make sure you check the pin end of the latch to see there are no burrs, and you may even grease the inside of the latch. Good Luck.

thanks for the recognition and the points....it was either that one reference or 'Train to Birmingham' as done by Kieran Kane and Kevin Welch on their 'live in Melbourne' recording (http://www.deadreckoners.com/). It's funny, how when you ride with out intercoms (never tried it), you really get inside your head, you get your head around things, you get a song stuck in your mind and stays there and all the while the grim reaper reminds you to pay attention and live in the moment.....or else.

Isn't Barber the most amazing collection. It's almost too much to take in. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
You are right...here are some more pics for others who haven't had the opportunity to get there just yet. The only bike I didn't get to see, that I really wanted to see, was the 71 Harley Davidson 350 Sprint (made in Italy?). I rode mine across the USA when I was 16 with no windshield, etc. Only a helmet, bandana and a pair of sunglasses (not the fancy type of today). The staff said it was down below getting it's maintenance (they said there were another 450 motorcycles below, not on display).
N.B. I rode with my dad, who had a R65 BMW with fairing, etc. (he didn't get as cold as I did riding across the plains of Pecos Texas in the chill of the night).

man....how old were you when you started riding 61 years ago? Did they even make trail 90's back then? I know we had them in New Mexico back in '71, they could climb any mesa around, nifty little buggers.

got a chance to get out a little just after christmas before new years....daughter and i took a 1400mi ride from St. Augsutine over to Alligator Point in the panhandle, drove the coast up to Pensacola, then up through Montgomery to the Barber Museum in Birmingham (where the staff took great care of us since we were the only ones who got there on bikes (riding in the rain while temp is 3 degrees C)). Returned down through Atlanta, etc. Here are some pics...(sorry, didn't ride the black knight since I am getting the Scura ECM reprogrammed)

I have a pair of BMW Santiagos and think they are a good touring boot (they also look like a boot should look like!). I am surprised to see a product review in roadrunner magazine of a newer Sidi boot that sure looks like the Santiago but has one more buckle and their name written across the shin guard. Any bets that the same boot shop makes them both?

Shamus and Murphy fancied a pint or two but didn't have a lot of money. Between them, they could only raise the staggering sum of one Euro.
Murphy said 'Hang on, I have an idea.'
He went next door to the butcher's shop and came out with one large sausage.
Shamus said 'Are you crazy? Now we don't have any money left at all!'
Murphy replied, 'Don't worry - just follow me.'
He went into the pub where he immediately ordered two pints of Guinness and two glasses of Jameson Whisky
Shamus said 'Now you've lost it. Do you know how much trouble we will be in? We haven't got any money!!'
Murphy replied, with a smile. 'Don't worry, I have a plan, Cheers!'
They downed their drinks. Murphy said, 'OK, I'll stick the sausage through my zipper and you go on your knees and put it in your mouth.'
The barman noticed them, went berserk, and threw them out.
They continued this, pub after pub, getting more and more drunk, all for free.
At the tenth pub Shamus said 'Murphy - I don't think I can do any more of this. I'm drunk and me knees are killin' me!'
Murphy said, 'How do you think I feel? I lost the sausage in the third pub

If you don't mind coming over to the DARK SIDE, you can borrow my Scura. I have a new Rune (2004, with ZERO miles http://powersports.honda.com/rune/) and will most likely be riding it this year. I live over on the OTHER SIDE of the state from Sarasota about 45 min north of Daytona. PM if you want.

Q. whats the best way to stop aunts and grandmothers cackling" you're next!" at family weddings?
A. Start telling your aunt and grandmothers, " you're next!" at family funerals.
In the village of Hurbum, Hertfordshire, Near Tillet, lives Lucy Lykes who owns the Cockwell Inn. Her address is:

everyone should join in the fun.....
An engineer died and ended up in Hell. He was not pleased with the level of comfort in Hell, and began to redesign and build improvements. After awhile, they had toilets that flush, air conditioning, and escalators. Everyone grew very fond of him.
One day God called to Satan to mock him, "So, how's it going down there in Hell?"
Satan replied, "Hey, things are great. We've got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and there's no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next."
God was surprised, "What? You've got an engineer? That's a mistake. He should never have gotten down there in the first place. Send him back up here."
"No way," replied Satan. "I like having an engineer, and I'm keeping him."
God threatened, "Send him back up here now or I'll sue!"
Satan laughed and answered, "Yeah, right. And just where are YOU going to get a lawyer?"

What? no comments on how things seem to happen in 3s...As Ratchet has found out, if they don't happen in 3s they just appear to be one-off random events, hence the inability to integrate learnings irrespective to time. But that is all not here nor there for the lonely few individuals that don't receive any comments on their motos, hence they jump from their own conclusion that their bikes must be a POS => to a twisted view that all bikes that aren't like theirs are a POS. The human mind is a MARVEL. To bad the mind is not ageless like the BLACK 2002 Scura destined for notoriety!
Oh, almost forgot....sometime the cowling comes off when someone asks to ride on the B-Seat. Here she comes saying "I'll be right there honey".

In the last 3 weeks I have had 3 people come up to me and say 3 things out of the blue:
1) "Man, when I look at that bike my eyes blurr. That bike looks so fast just sitting there";
2) "I didn't know Guzzi's made such fast looking bikes, is this their new model?", and finally the kicker.....
3) "Man, I've been riding for years, but I don't think I'm young enough to ride THAT!"
Now tell me that the 2002 Scura is not timeless or ageless or will not be a prime example in the guggenheim in the year 2100.

definately experienced the same thing when those damn yellow lights in the sky say the green light is changing to red! Why do they have red lights anyways....can anyone explain that? Definately solved this inconvenience by adjusting the valves.

There is a right way and a wrong way to pronounce . . .
Oklahoma
The Proper Way is:
"Okla . . . Homa"
(There's a pause between the "a" and the "h".)

I've got 30K miles on mine, I ride it like I stole it, and not a fricken thing has happened to it. That's cause the bike doesn't listen to all those scary bedtime stories that get repeated until everyone thinks they are the truth.
signing off to ride like the wind.....
