[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Our First Ride
I think I've mentioned this before in a post about bobbers. My uncle started his own motorcycle shop next to our house when he got out of the army after WWII. Among his personal collection of bikes was his favorite Indian, which he had stripped down bobber-style. I was about 6 years old at the time (yeah, I'm that old) and whenever I heard him crank up that bike, I'd come a'runnin'. He'd swing me up to straddle the tank (no pillion, no sissy bar), and off we'd go. They didn't make mini-bikes back then or I'm sure I woulda had one. Did have a couple Whizzers and a Harley Hummer when I got a little older. Been riding ever since. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers! group.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] First Ride
First ride for Mike. Well, I had a Dad who had an Indian when he was younger and a railroad telegrapher in remote, rural California just after WW2. But in the late 1960's when I was 15 and my brother Jeff 13, we didn't really know that, and just wanted to dirt ride and I wanted some cheap street wheels. So we teamed up, bought a 'barely used' Suzuki 80 for a song from a motorcyclist dad who dirt-rode with his son and had bought the Suzuki for mom (who never played along...no cycling interest). We taught ourselves to ride on that, but quickly sold and purchased a used Honda SL175 that I rode for years. Jeff and I still ride, 43 years later. Jeff has a liter bike Yamaha FZ-1 (sports bike for geezers...) and a Kawasaki Vulcan 750. I have two near identical 1984 Honda Nighthawk CB-650SL. We keep two bikes each, so we can fly cross country and ride with each other (and he for sports/cruiser flexibility, and me for parts/maint). Recently, my son Josh joined our 'long distance motorcycle club'. Josh, another long flight away in Southern CA (vice Jeff's NoCalifornia and my Vienna VA) has a BMW and a Ninja 500. Now I motorcycle commute spring-summer-fall (38 miles round trip daily) and do the occasional solo canyon carving out Middleburg and Blue Ridge way, or a few short tours each year (DE, Norfolk, PA). The Nighthawks have been very dependable (I really don't need the running parts bike, or at least haven't yet.). During the winter, I don't lay them up, but just take them out on a mid-day, weekend day for short spins. Now in March in Vienna, northern Virginia, I sometimes do a short commute (4 miles to Metro and free MC parking...). By April should be back to full commute.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Our First Ride
My first ride was a Cushman Road King scooter. Big, boxy 300+ lb. thing, 5 hp, couldn't get out of its own way. Except for one day, that is. On an ill-advised highway trip to the upstate New York mountains, I got frustrated with the scooter's 35 MPH top speed on a long downhill. So I threw it into neutral and let it fly. Passed cars, 18- wheelers, everything. Probably hit 100, or at least it felt that way. (There was no speedometer.) Good thing there was an uphill following, or the brake (rear drum, no front) likely would have burned up. No Cushman ever flew faster! Eight bikes later, I still may not have beaten that speed on my 750 ... but I've tried.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Starter
Thank, will look around for a rebuild kit... Thanks Again... On Mon, Feb 28, 2011 at 7:50 PM, James O'Gorman aspor...@gmail.com wrote: I should add: You can do them yourself. Search some back threads because the subject has come up before. Usually when a starter goes bad it is just the brushes. Pick up a rebuild kid and have at it. The first time, it took me like an hour to figure everything out, now I can take it off the bike, rebuild, and put back on in 30 minutes. If you get stuck, let us know.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Our First Ride
Graham, I remember seen a guy in the ADVrider.com forum that has a 750 like mine, and he added hand protectors from a Suzuki Vstrom.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] 83 cb550 help carbs
JR, no bout about it, you have an '83 550. That's the only year they made it. I may be wrong on all this but I had caffeinated coffee so I'm up for a while any way. The T's you are looking at are 1. the middle one is the fuel line from the pet cock 2. the two outside ones are overflow tubes that originally had tubes connected to them and running to the rear of the carbs and down . Check that there is no gas leaking under the carbs from the T's. If so, the O-rings are probably shot and need to be replaced. If not, I doubt your problem is in the T's. Have you removed the carbs and cleaned them, the jets and all passage ways? If so, did you check the size of the jets, the pilot or low speed jets in particular using a wire made for the purpose? Is the inside of the tank clean and free of rust, same with the fuel valve (pet cock)? Start with answering these questions.

[Nighthawk Lovers] News from Christchurch
Night Hawkers, let it be known that one of your own in Christchurch, the shaky city, has returned to the Internet airwaves. You've already heard much the news from down here about the earthquake and about what specifically happened to me (many thanks Graham for passing the news onto the group). It was an amazing and scary experience. So, a week later, here's a summary: I think my apartment building will be condemned along with everything in it. The good news is that I was able to pull most of what was important to me out of there. An, that included my second Nighthawk. It was down in the parking garage and was thrown over on its side from the center stand. The right handle bar is up maybe two inches. It's drivable but looks a bit weird. It started right up though smile -what else would we expect?. So, I've gotten most of my stuff out and my two beloved bikes (85' and 86' 700SC's). I've shifted to my girlfriend's house and we've decided to give living together a go (which I'm very happy about).My workplace is still down but they're setting up temporary offices and should be up and running within the week. The government here is very progressive and they've got various programs to help folks who haven't a place to stay or who've lost their employment. Their emergency services for this sort of thing are amazing as well. Search and Rescue crews who've come in from Japan, the US and other countries have commented that the civil defense organization they encountered here is the best they've ever seen. That said though, things are still a mess.A city of 300,000 and as much as 50% or the buildings in the central business district may be taken down. A huge area is off limits and ringed by police and military. 55,000 out of work due to the closure of the central city. Death toll will probably exceed 200. Two major buildings just pan-caked and the tallest building in the city, a 26 story hotel, has a serious lean and will have to be taken down. I was deeply impressed by everyone's concern here when I was finally able to log on and get my E-Mail. Thanks, Night-Hawkers, it made me feel good to see all the comments and offers of support. They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Well, here's hoping that's all true. It's been and interesting week and then some. Cheers, my friends, and thanks, Dennis G. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers! group.
