Do you mean the 6 cylinder bikes? No other bike uses the CBX1000 engine. However, the current production BMW K1600GT is an inline-6, while the current Honda Goldwing uses a flat-6. Both, being touring bikes, will be pretty useless over here, and a bit too expensive, considering we also have a 200% import duty on new vehicles, 300% on used ones (like adding insult to injury :grumpy:)

The only other 6 cylinder bikes I know of are the Benelli Sei 900, Kawasaki Z1300, the Honda Valkyrie. All of these are out of production and more than 5 years old. There's a new Horex VR6 bike coming out on the market, but again, it's prohibitively expensive.

The bike in the video is a custom build, using the CBX engine.

If you meant the Triumph 3 cylinder, then the Daytona 675R and the Street/Speed triple use it. Triples sound similar to the sixes, and are rare compared to the quads :)

Once again, knowing I'll likely never own an original CBX as long as I live here, 2:07 = absolute eargasm :(


Anyways, wildly offtopic :ouch:
 
^ Why can you not import anything more than 5 years old?



Anyway my day? GTP watched GP then more GTP and thats it really.
 
Kind of boring. Got up, practiced for qualifying, ate brunch, practiced for qualifying more, GTP, practice, GTP, qualifying, GTP, GTP, lunch, GTP, GTP, GTP, grocery store, dinner, took dog on a walk, GTP now at 12:12 AM. :lol: Soon to begin re-reading Harry Potter series! ;)

Going to visit my grandparents down in Dallas, TX, on Tuesday. Going to car show (awesome!), entering my very own cheese pizza recipe for a competition (yum...), no GT5 (shoot!), not much Internet (double shoot!), going to a bunch of museums and stuff. Dallas is loaded with that stuff. It'll be cool. Just got out of school so I've got too much time on my hands! :lol:
 
GTP is educational... I learned a lot about the internet, so in a computer class it's relevant. :P When I joined this site I didn't know what a meme was, nor did I know until about October what a Brony was. Well I don't recall noticing them before then. If I recall I've gotten a lot smarter since joining here, more so than I would have if I'd not joined. :odd:

Yep. Things I learned on GTP...

1. Don't feed the troll.
2. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
3. Memes
4. How to race online

Educational! :dopey:
 
Installed my 3" exhaust and 3" downpipe on my MR2 Turbo. Took about 10 hours. I was shocked to find this, I knew it was cross threaded, but I didn't know a chunk was missing. I found the missing chunk in the oil cooler.

Incredibly boring since, as it's 7:47pm here and I woke up at 4:17pm my day's only really just begun. Though I made my 1,000th post on here earlier today so I guess that counts for something.

Learn about Bronies in a positive or negative light? :lol:

Anyway, my weekend has been great. I've almost learned all of one of my original songs and can play it on piano and vocal. I've practised probably about 8 hours this weekend. I can even play the rhythm piano with the solo over it. :D And I spent about 6 or so hours on Sunday working around the property and an hour or so welding. So a good weekend for me.
 
Monday: Bored
Tuesday: Chickens
Wednesday: Smelly
Thursday: Goats

May I attempt to translate? Dash it all, I'll try it anyway...

Monday: Nothing happened.
Tuesday: You had Chicken for dinner.
Wednesday: Realized that you haven't had a shower in awhile.
Thursday: Saw a goat?
Friday: Watched My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic? Sorry, I couldn't resist.
Saturday: I don't know what FSM is or means, but I'll try anyway. Decided that you would finally have a shower, before finding out that you weren't in the shower at all, but in the fireplace.
Sunday: Wants people to be quiet because your head is still in agonizing pain from the showering incident.

Am I doing it right?
 
Looks like a good evaluation to me, Skython.

Today my classes were fine if a little tiring. Played a few games online with my workmates after we'd all finished. Came home and decided I'd re-watch Days of Thunder. That's where the problems began.

The tart a few floors up has been practising her flute or whatever it is at full volume for the last few weeks every night, none of my insane screams of hatred of "Shut the 🤬 up" seem to have been taken on board.

Then the internet slows down to snails pace; cue the picture of the dude carrying baskets of data around on a stick (some of you may remember how I get my web). Movie won't stream.

I've just finished my book I was reading and had a few races on GT and I'm now left with nothing to do apart from go up stairs to the chick with the flute and cut out her wind pipe.

Man, I really want a beer or 14. :grumpy:

Sort of:
Monday: Nothing happened.
Correct
Tuesday: You had Chicken for dinner.
On Tuesday I chased chickens around trying to get them back to where they're mean to be.
Wednesday: Realized that you haven't had a shower in awhile.
That's why I had a shower
Thursday: Saw a goat?
Exactly
Friday: Watched My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic? Sorry, I couldn't resist.
Me and my tom boy friends are too busy with real ponies for such matters
Saturday: I don't know what FSM is or means, but I'll try anyway. Decided that you would finally have a shower, before finding out that you weren't in the shower at all, but in the fireplace.
That's practically what happened (FSM = Flying Spaghetti Monster)
Sunday: Wants people to be quiet because your head is still in agonizing pain from the showering incident.
Basically

Some was right, some was wrong, some was from the mysterious place that everybody I know goes on about called Coleford, that upon further research on my part turned out to be a town in south-west england... :confused:
 
Yesterday I slapped on wing fuel tank access panels. Then after that I took out rather vital parts of a $1.5 mil Rolls Royce turbofan... only to find out the engine will probably have to be changed due to an oil leak -__-

Today I fixed orange rubber ducts, blew 100psi air into oil drain lines, sealed some stuff with black goop, and stuck my head inside a fuel tank for a while. Made for a rather easy "Friday" for me... :sly:
 
Yesterday we finally knocked down our piece of 🤬 shed. We are getting a new one built, and a bigger one, that I don't have to duck down in just to go inside. And it's floor will actually be intact.

Here is the shed yesterday.





So happy!!!

Here it is now, only half way cremated :-)

 
Today has been brilliant; we got our plants all potted up and out catching the sun, finished the raised bedding and then cleared the shed out a little. I then washed and de-badged my car and fitted the new exhaust trim. Now I'm waiting for my dinner to cook before settling down to a night full of playing Tera :D
 
Not bad. Hanged out with my friend today, we did some archery in the backyard, I washed the the heavy coat of pollen off of my car(lives under two trees and pollen's pretty bad), and got about 9.5 gallons of gas during a drive to dry my car out. Got 25.7mpg. Not bad for a V6.
 
Really lazy day. Woke up at 10 and sat in bed until 11 on my iPod. Played World at War a LOT (like 4/5 hours) and got a pizza. Lounged around for the rest of the day. Also beat rounds 5 and 6 of GT Academy.
 
Went to college.
Learned America banned alcohol in 1919 and made it legal again in 1933.
Complained about the exam staff for my history exam last week.
Went to student union meeting.
Fire alarm went off.
Thats my day.
 
It just got really creepy and scary. Listened to songs backwards in a dark room all alone and it was so scary. So now I hope I can sleep and not have nightmares because I am freaked out. I think it ruined, yet also made my day at the same time.
 
I took my sisters ex's dirt bike and dumped it off a 30 ft cliff then I got back on it and drove it though 5 ft deep mud. Then I got my friend on his ATV to winch it out and rip off the exhaust and surprisingly the bike still ran! So I spun the back tire deep into sand until the bike just died.
 
Met friends. Had a few cold ones. Talked some business. Went home bruised after a fight. 🤬 day.

Are you saying that you live on a farm or rural property?

I must ask, why were you listening to songs backwards in a dark room in the first place?
 
Complained again about the exam staff this time to my personal tutor and learned I was not the only one.

Had a 50 minute moaning session over our problems with certain people including the above.
 
Last full day of school for this year... technically a senior(H.S.) right now. Still have to take finals.

And i'm sitting on a chair doing nothing right now.
So, not a great day.
