hehe, I guess I'll feel the difference later on, but rolling the throttle too fast on the sv650 has me panicked sometimes. especially with all the cages around me, the feeling of being absolutley vulnerable is a little unnerving. and here, we have more trucks/suvs and minivans, driving with blind-folds and lead-foot. all the motorcycle crashes I seen were thanks to soccer mom green mini-vans.

Re: off topic/ place to chat

and WTF is it with the soccer moms that drive exrcusions and F-250 and 350's around? I blows my mind why these moms would ever get one of these. The exrcusions could pick up the whole damn team, but the trucks? Not much room for passengers and I never see the bed full. Wasteful really. Oh I almost forgot. Then they bitch, about gas prices.

One cold night

I think its their attempt to feel superior on the road...

hahah just had an interesting experience this mornin;

I dropped the company car off and went to get into mine, when i realised the door handle was frozen...

Looked at the windows, ALL frozen... so i got in my car and tried to squirt some water onto the windshield, FROZEN TOO!..

Tried the windscreen wipers, FROZEN... hahahaha ended up having to wind all the windows down to see, and had to stick my head out the window the whole way home to see where i was going, i swear my snot nearly froze up in my nose, but because i could imagine the humourous site of me driving in my shi**y ole 81 diesel sedan with my head out the window at 6:00am at 2 degrees, i couldnt help but grin all the way home...

hehehe i got some pics of that r1 (i think) that i was tempted to sit on, can someone identify if its an r1 or r6? theres no stickers to tell, pics from my night in my gallery


hahahah, i just got off the topic in an off topic forum!

any of you net freaks know how to do background check? I opened a topic about it, and people claimed they can get my address over the internet just by full name and city. I said it's improbable. but the guy is going to get back to me after a while.

As for the ability to get your address, im sure a decent hacker could get into your isp account and find the billing procedures, atleast getting your full name and your bank card number or postal address, depending on how you pay, or simply looking at the name you've chosen to install microsoft products, like the splash screen that starts when you open word or powerpoint, when installing the product you get the option to put in your name, some people put there full name which would be up for grabs to any hacker with a brain.... sucks hey?

Re: off topic/ place to chat

a slighty tech question:

with naked sportsbikes, are they just as safe at high speed as the full fairing type? i love the look of some of these bikes, but want to know any of their downsides compared to normal sportsbikes

yes I guess we do have bins in the driveway. but our family lived a lifestyle where we would throw the trash out in a central unit outside. so didn't have to bother with garbage falling off front of the driveway.

I know all those things, but since Im not a hacker, I don't know how to go about it. So I'm up for bids, I wanted to know if someone could get my current home address just by full name and city alone. don't worry, lol, I keep nothing worth of value for someone to steal at my apartment.

with naked bikes, you will suffer a little handling, especially if you don't have windscreen and riding on the freeways at high speed.

Btw, I could have told you if it was R1 or R6, if you hadn't blocked FRONT OF THE BIKE. lol.

Dammit Boyo, what're you doing with your tongue? It's not like you're in front of a cat.

1: the soccer mum walked out the front door of a newsagency right past my bike. then jumped in her car and backed over it

2: Lyndon's a dickhead. fancy putting ya tongue on a bit of ice.
the way to tell if its a stock R1 or R6 is the front forks. upside down is R1. the swingarm has a brace that is normally associated with litre bike's but i'm no R series expert.

3:The Aprilla had a good report in a current Superbike magazine

yes, you're blocking the front, look at the picture. OZland is weird, it's cold there now I presume? So what do you call the current season, fall or winter? lol.

naked bikes: look up sv650s. cheap, light, and can give those Duc Monsters run for their money.
