Sunrise at 3am?? what the hell... how can you sleep?

Anyways, awesome shots!

It wasnt at 3, i just had to leave at 3.
I left at 3 and walked one way, after arriving at one place i realised i couldnt see the sun rising from where i was, so i had to walk the opposite way back past my house. The sun first appeared around 4:30.

Quote from SamH :

Great shots, Migz. Looks like you have the same problem as I have, getting the camera level

I've been getting up at silly hours to get photos too!

Well its not really a problem for me, i just cant be bothered to sort it haha. i have a tripod with a spirit level thing on it.
A bunch of the photos were taken on the beach with the tide rising extremely quickly, so i couldnt stop to extend the tripods legs to make it level, so i just had to take the pictures and move again.
Then another bunch were taken sitting ontop of a bunker, which was rather level.
But thank you
And yeah getting up at silly hours is for only the cool people

Quote from sam93 :

Went out at 3 in the morning to take some pictures of the sunrise

I thought "it's" was the other way round to normal. You *don't* use the apostrophe with the possessive, as it stands for 'it is' not 'it has'.

"And secondly it's what's in it that matters."
Turns out to be
"And secondly it is what is in it that matters."

Dude a bit of advise, don't make screenshots with pisspoor gfxs.

When you see it, you'll just laugh haha.
Well you may not, but still.

Well it made me LOL when i said it :/

Quote from dougie-lampkin :

Believe me, you'll find it very high when you're sitting on it at speed

If you're planning on doing a good bit of on-road stuff, you'd be better off with a full-size enduro bike. This one would feel very hairy cornering on the road, due to the small wheels. I presume at 16 you're restricted to a 125cc, which should be no problem to find an enduro bike in. They're fully road usable, my dad used to ride one to work in the past. It's just my opinion, but I think an enduro bike would be a better bet

At 16 over here we're restricted to 50cc.

And is this bike like one of those stupidly tiny ones i see driving around every so often?

Quote from Forbin :

Also be aware the seat height on that thing is 34.3 inches (870 mm). That's fairly high.

Ahah sorry i hadnt seen this yesterday when i posted.
Will that still be the same even though my version is only 50cc?
Ima go get a tape measure and see if how far off the floor my ass will be.

Quote from batteryy :

+1, 2 strokes sound annoying. especyally 2-strokes on enduro, they sound like bees in woods and that is annoying.when four strokes sound roaring and powerful. 4-strokes FTW!
but i dont think you can make 2-stroke sound 4-stroke

Yeah, its a shame you cant just make them sound like a 4-stroke. I might see if they have any versions of this bike that are 4-stroke instead.


Edit: I've just measured out 870mm and thats tiny :| Thats like at the back of my legs, doesn't even reach my arse, means i can sit on it fine.
Unless by Seat Height it doesnt mean the highest point of the seat is 870mm off the ground?

Was that actually said in the show? Or just wiki vandalism?
(which i find hilarious by the way)

Acctually said in the show.

Quote from dougie-lampkin :

4-strokes only sound nicer if they're big bore IMO. 2-strokes have that "raspy" noise, which sounds pretty nice usually. It's the 2-stroke is whinier by the way, watch the difference:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tC0O40_VIwk

The first bike is a 4-stroke, second is a 2-stroke. The 4-stroke sounds much rougher and has low-down power, whereas the 2-stroke sounds like a bee in a can and needs to stay up in the high revs. Hope that helps a bit, sorry for the poor vid, it's all I could find

Ahah, now i see the difference.
The 2 stroke is the sound that annoys me whenever a biker goes past haha.
Is there a way to get a 2 stroke to sound like a 4 stroke? Different exhaust? Or is it to do with only the engine?
As i prefer the sound of the 4 stroke but i doubt i could find a 4 stroke for as cheap as this bike.

Quote from Forbin :

I can tell it's a 2-stroke from the shape of the exhaust pipe at the front as it wraps around the engine. That's what's known as an expansion chamber. It's effectively an acoustic supercharger. Only high-performance 2-stroke engines have one.

Whereas 4 stroke engines (such as in most cars) produce power once ever 2 revolutions of the crankshaft (4 strokes of the piston), 2 stroke engines produce power every revolution of the crankshaft (2 strokes of the piston). This also gives them a very distinctive sound.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-stroke_cycle
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansion_chamber

Ahah, i didnt know that. So this is a high performance 2 stroke engine? :| I dont think a high performance engine is good for a 16 year old haha, but oh well.

Yeha my friend was telling me that 4 stroke sounds much nicer over 2 stroke, but i dont hear a difference, all i hear in difference between them is that the 4 stroke is much higher and whinnier pitched.

And im just going through the two wiki links now

Quote from Forbin :

Just FYI, 2-stroke engines can be a bitch. They're fairly simple, light, and make good peak power for their displacement, but they have nothing down low and require more frequent rebuilds than a 4-stroke. Unless the bike has an oil tank, you'll also need to mix the oil and petrol before you put it in the tank.

Is this at me?
If so how did you know the bike was a 4-stroke? Or can you see it on the bike?

Edit: Im not a bike person at all, im a car person. So expect extreme retardation when it comes to bikes.

I've been looking for a bike as its my birthday at the end of this month and i will be legal to drive a bike.
The one ive find now looks pretty good, is quite cheap, and is the only one in the island.

This is a rather shizzy picture though.

PVL any chance you can post up the replays and tell us what times these people do something to get banned?
So we can see for ourselves who's in the right or the wrong.

Also can you post these replay please frency.

Wow this looks pretty awesome.
The trailer thing looks more like a trailer for a movie though :P

Somewhere there has info on it.


And I won't start a 360/PS3 war because everyone knows that PS3 is better.

For once..... i agree with you
PS3 is miles better.
Although this does acctually look rather cool.
And i like the name
Xbox Natal.
Natal = christmas in portoguese

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

Does it matter what something is called? Would you not use Firefox if it was called "Smelly poop browser 2" or would you go based upon its technical merits (Which in my opinion it has more demerits than merits, but that's for a different thread).

Well if Firefox was called "Smelly poop browser 2" thatd make me want to use it even more
And the majority of the people i know would use it due to its name haha.

Quote from mutt107 :

how is that?

Well me, and all of my friends just see this all as just the xbox changing into the wii.
It started with their update to create avatars, these stupid little avatars are bassicly just mii's from the wii console.
And this freeware game is just childish and the kind of game you could see a kid/family playing.
Microsoft themselves are turning the xbox into a childs console, whereas devolopers are still making awesome games for xbox.

Quote from Dennis93 :

I agree with Mutt, i expect this game to be freeware on Xbox Live, so i guess it's just more fun for the bills you pay for having Xbox Live, and i don't think they take wii as a threat for Xbox

"Recent US sales figures from NDP that showed that in March 259,000 Wiis were sold, compared to 199,000 Xbox 360s and 130,000 Playstation 3s."
http://gamer.blorge.com/2007/0 ... 3-and-xbox-360-need-help/
Well they should if its outselling their console, as well as the playstation

This game is showing how pathetic microsoft are getting, their turning their xbox into a wii.

Quote from Shadowww :

Some people wouldn't play games at all if there would be no cracks.

I don't quite get you?

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

Not many people, if they can afford to buy a proper version then most people will. I personally want to see more developers giving out watered down versions of a game for free, then having a retail version which has more features. I would like to see films being available to download for free too, then sell the DVD's with lots of extras so people buy them. The trouble with that is it would only work for good products, and we know that people want to be able to sell us shit, EA games would go out of business for a start.

I think this is the case with the majority of people who pirate, if they can buy the proper version they will, if they cant they pirate.
Ill admit it, im a pirate myself, but only because of the fact i dont have a job, i have no source of income, and therefore i cant afford to buy everything, although as i get money i will spend it buying something ive already downloaded.
My brother used to be like this, he used to download programmes/games/music but now he has a full time job, and buys everything.
