I don't know what CBR's sound like but the kwacker didn't need an end can because the airbox noise was fantastic. It just about sucked you in when hitting the redline, putting a race can would have killed that sound!

The CBR is no slouch and would out handle my old zx7r as its alot lighter, probably faster too. Its a shame the 750cc class has gone as there was some superb bikes, who can forget the GSXR750?

As you say it ticks all your boxes and it will probably scare you senseless after riding the CB500 (or whatever) from your test. BUT i guarantee you this, if you are a true petrolhead, after a few months you will want MORE!

More power, more handling, more brakes, more tyres (cos you will shred a back tyre in a summer!!!) For some reason bikes do that to you, well it did to me, I was FOGGY! and i felt good.

Anyone want to buy 2 kids so i can have a bike again!!

No, oh well i'll stick to pedal power then. I'll stop dreaming and get on with some work.

Andrew

ooooooooooooooooooo

I miss my bike, that thing will go like stink!!!
I was never a fan of CBR6's because they are good (no excellent) all rounders but seemed bland to me, but lets face it if some one came to me and said have a go, i'd be there in a flash.

Seriously jealous.

I had a ZX7R which was seriously quick on nice flat roads, but a complete bitch on country roads where i live, the suspension was too hard even on the softest settings, but once on decent A roads it was nailed to the ground, hanging off the thing round nice loooong A road corners........oh dear!

All the best with the test and enjoy your biking!!!!

PS keep your eyes peeled at all times!

Quote from Jakg :

what a monster!

wow

after watching top gear last night, how about a lotus exige s

I'd love to see the temperature guage working!!

sounds very similar to my problem, ever since we changed phone company (dont pay line retal to bt) i've experienced intermitent drops, my isp (f2s) informs me there is a bt outage at my exchange, but no one at bt will talk to me because i'm not one of their customers!!!!

Quote from Fordman :

I feel for ya Tiger, and Welcome Back ( I think ). What we need is for all server admins is to instigate the "Auto Spectate if Driving wrong way " option through the server options. Maybe this is a more feesable option to begin with.

If the "idiots" cannot go the wrong way, then maybe they might think, "damn this going around the right way is kinda fun" Its easier to avoid people going the right way than it is going the wrong way?

Maybe this is a good option?

Whats your thoughts on this Guys & Girls

How long does it take to kick you if you are going the other way. the reason i ask is because i spun the mrt @ SO up against the barrier the other night, having no reverse meant i had to go the wrong way to turn round. immediately WRONG WAY flashes up, if its based on time, then i could be banned for doing a u turn??!?

does that make sense?

couldn't afford to do direct access, as the wife and i did it at the same time!!!

we did the basic course, restricted to 33bhp for 2 years. had our zzr600's restricted to satisfy the insurance, then whipped the restrictors out after a couple of weeks, WEHEY, 90 ish bhp !!! had to be carefull for 2 years but saved some dosh!!!!

all the best, cos motorcycle handling and speeds are seriously very addictive, my last bike was a kwacker zx7r (dream bike) and that was glorious.......could write pages of stuff bout bikes!!!!

ps did our course in bristol, and it was good fun, we were racing the instructor along a bypass on the 125's, flat out, head on the tank at 70.25mph!!!!!

I've been driving this car using a setup from Inferno around SO and I love it!!

I'm no where near the fast drivers and have no clue about setup, i adjust my driving to suit........is that a bad thing?

Quote from the_angry_angel :

How will I live through that month? By avoiding football as much as possible...

Same here, i'm bored of the WC already, and it hasn't started yet!!!

take the RAC on the RACE S settings and it drifts like no other!!!!
needs some gentle throttle control to keep it together otherwise it'll spin round before you know it. I'm no drifter but tried racing (properly) at BL1 and i was knackered after 5 or 6 laps just trying to get the beast to go round corners without going sideways!!

Quote from Vain :

All you need is the engine sound in the car and neither Bose nor Harman can do that better than the engine itself.

Vain

lol,

yeah man, nothing competes with the sound of an old 2.2td AUTO that i've got in my Toyota Lucida!!!

watched Top Gear last night, the new jag, now that sounded glorious!

Since my earlier post, i've been on to BT, who have NO idea what i'm asking for and get put through to an 0800 number which is a dead end!!!
So BT don't want to know, so tried F2S and they cut me off after an hour of on hold!!! WTFillepall

Andrew


EDIT

Dan, do you have any settings other than the standard ones in your router (I have the same)

You've hit the nail on the head there!!!
Service so far has been very good indeed, but trying to get tech support is a bit of a mare!!! I gave up on the telephone yesterday trying to get answers to my "outage problem" and now using the email method, so lets see.........

Having said that, with BT in charge, who knows what could happen to your connection, I've still got "outage problems" that should have been resolved on Monday!!

Quote from danowat :

1mb , works fine most of the time, but I can see problems occuring in the future, especially if I have an "important" race i.e. ESL.

Dan,

If there is 4 of you, why not upgrade to max 8mb. I'm with f2s.com and although my exchange doesn't support 8mb i'm getting downloads of around 5-6mb. f2s, 8mb, £15/month.

BT is British Telecom, bunch of *?!!?***?!!

found my problem...
just checked f2s.com and found the reason

BT are upto their usual tricks

my problems have only started since the latest patch, could be coincidence, i'll try again later on.
the only puzzling thing is the time to the connection being dropped isn't constant.....

mmmm i've just recently started having the same problem.
tonight i've been racing and i loose everything, but can go straight back to master server and reconnect.
becoming very frustrating

btw i'm with f2s.com and never had a problem before!!!

Quote from thisnameistaken :

I don't apparently know what an inch looks like. Just measured it and it's almost exactly two inches (a bit over 5cm). Note that there are removable plastic "feet" on the brackets which have to be taken off to give you that much range.

If it still doesn't fit, maybe give Tristan a call and he can come 'round with his hacksaw.

I know he's a bit handy with a hacksaw, but can he Make Do what he's chopped off?

Quote from STROBE :

Not to mention the guy that set himself up on Tower Bridge with a large supply of golf balls, his driving club, and proceeded to twat Blaine's box with full-power drives until politely asked to move on by the police.

As for David Blaine himself, I can't stand the twat. Don't care if he spent seven days underwater, don't care if he didn't make a new world record. I'm just surprised there was actually room for any water in his bowl after he'd taken his ego in there.

Here here!!

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Measuring with super-accurate "finger size", I'd say just a bit under three inches.

looks like a possible purchase coming up then!!
