So, how was your day?

[Bopop4]

Would this be your first roadbike?

If so, then it would be utterly idiotic to buy a Hayabusa.


A CBR125/250/Ninja 250/300 would all be good starter bikes.
Even a 500 twin has enough power to get you into trouble FAST.

I know I know, of course my first bike isn't going to a Hayabusa
What would you suggest, Ninja 250 or CBR250 ?
I read somewhere that Ninja 250 have 2 cylinders and CBR250 have 1 cylinder. That means Ninja is a little bit faster than CBR, right ?

 

[Bopop4]

Ah, because some people really do get something like that for their first bike.

The Ninja will be a bit faster than a CBR, but you shouldn't be interested in speed for a learner bike with only 30hp.

Like I said, your riding is going to dictate your speed much more than bike performance.

Get a yamaha r1

 

[Minesweepa]

Nope thanks

 

[Bopop4]

I don't think he wants Veyron levels of acceleration for his first bike.

Just let on the gas slow lol

 

[Bopop4]

Easier said than done, especially with all that power.


I had to get a haircut today. -.-

 

[Minesweepa]

^^ Thats not an easy thing to do @shmogt
Owning a R1 and not going faster than 50 km/h ? HELL NO.

 

[BubbleBelly542]

Do you only study drum line or do you play in a kit as well?

Uh... I play in drum one and I play a drum set as well.

Band was much better today. Hopefully better tomorrow.

I get to walk about ten miles of road tomorrow looking for a set of keys to basically everything. Walked about five miles today. Problem is there's keys that can't be duplicated on that ring. As if I wasn't already on a time crunch with other things.

That's absolute torture.... the second I get my M1 in Canada, I'm coming back to Central America and buying a BMW K1200S.

Anyways, my day had been VERY stressful. My car wouldn't start, GF wouldn't pick up the phone all day, lil bro couldn't get the classes he needed.... absolute chaos in HS.

Lol ya barely pressing the gas to go slow = easy. However mental restraint to not go full out = hard.

Well the past few days have been eventful. Yesterday went a saw my gf who just had knee surgery and spent the morning shopping and finally picked up TDU2 and signed up for the GameStop rewards card. Placed my preorder card for Grand Theft Auto 5 as well. Friday I finally got off my lazy ass and went down to the DMV and got my learners permit after waiting 2 years. Barely passed the eye exam. Still have no idea how I managed that as I cannot see distance for crap due to a lazy left eye and I refuse to wear glasses again. My eyes should not be this bad at 18. Anyways missed 4 on the written as your allowed to miss 6, got my picture taken an called it a day. Today I'm heading up to the drag strip with a couple friends of mine for the car show, watching some racing an doing some racing ourselves.

My day yesterday was okay. Actually, just like usually. I wonder why my days are so alike, but it's fine with me.

I just lost my 6inch gripsif anyone sees them give me a shout
Found it under the floorboard

 

[shmogt]

****! Stupid FedEx had my computer last night at their place close to me and last step was ship to me this morning. For some reason they drive it an hour away and tried to delivery it there. They better delivery it later today or I will be pissed.

 

[dxm8975]

Woo got an email saying my computer will arrive tomorrow

A new one that is due to arrive at your home today?

 

[Slash]

FINALLY.

Nice man. 👍

I know right? Thanks I just still don't like driving though lol.

 

[shmogt]

A new one that is due to arrive at your home today?

Yes however read one comment above because that didn't happen. I called after and someone who works there is an idiot and changed my postal code so it went to the wrong place. Even tho this happened at 8am and they close at 8pm for some reason refuse to ship it today. Best they can do is ship tomorrow. If it shows up tomorrow and is dead or has some sort of problem turn the 6 o'clock news on because they will be a story about a bloodbath at the FedEx building.

Took a family trip to Raleigh and went to some museums there. We also walked around a couple colleges for me to look at. Then my mom decided that we should paint the living room tomorrow, after talking about it for a few weeks. I don't think she realizes that it looks perfectly fine, and she is just doing this is piss me off and because she thinks I shouldn't be allowed to spend my summer break however I want.

Headed up to the drag strip with my buddy. Pulled a few 11.4s out of his Corolla an a few 9s and 10s out of my others Grand Prix 3.8 Supercharged. Videos later. Lots of them.

 

[Bopop4]

Quarters! We need quarters!



9s in a Grand Prix down the quarter?

1/8 right?

 

[Kent]

Pretty horrible here...
My 5 y/o nephew has been sick all day and I was babysitting... I love the little guy and seeing him in that shape was harsh.
Glad to kick back and have a drink tonight for sure!

I certainly hope this does not happen to your computer. Ahhhhh, what the hell, just toss it over the fence. It will be alright.

Yup.


@Bopop

The nearest 1/4 mile track charges an arm and a leg a pass and its over an hour away. More convienient to go here plus you can figure out what your 1/4 mile is. The Grand Prixs best run was a 9.8 but he was averaging 10.1s. My friend has a Civic with 25k in it as we were beating it with a stock car. I've got vids so ill get them up tomorrow.

Ended up getting pulled over for tail lights out ad too loud of exhaust though. Got out of a ticket.

This car was one of the highlights of the night. Bone stock 390 AMC AMX. Was running with Porsches and C6 Vettes. Fastest time he clocked was a 8.8. I have a video of him creaming a stock 05 GTO. By 5 car lengths. That video he ran a 9.0. That will be up tomorrow too. Anyways here is the car

One of the other cool cars was an N/A 4.6 Mustang that ran an 8.8 which I got on video against a new 5.0 mustang. The new one got wrecked.

Haha oh thanks like I don't have enough worries. I have to sign for it so the guy can't do that luckily. I'm always worried how they are treated in the van and moving them around. They are all about speed so I'm guessing they toss things around a lot.

edit: Wooo computer is here!
