yep, spybot, or Ad-Aware from Lavasoft. Both great programs to get rid of adware. This wouldnt be the first time something from AOL screwed up someones computer. i hate anything to do with AOL.... Lafasoft Ad-Aware

I would give just about anything for a nice Duc 748 or 996. Should have bought one when i was living in the UK....oh well! They are not the fastest bike, but next to the MV Agusta F4 they are the Sexiest bikes EVER!! Beautiful bikes......

Yep, after seeing a few members of my family, and a few friends growing up, DIE because they didn't wear their seat belts i decided that i would Always wear mine, and i make my wife wear hers. But that should be my decision, not the Governments. If you are dumb enough not to wear it, you are gonna die when you get in that accident. Too many idiots are surviving now anyway, there needs to be some way to thin them out...

uhhh ok......

getting the crank welded is just reenforcing the mating surfaces of the Crankshaft. Allowing you to run higher compression for more power.

How Stuff Works good stuff about Cranks, and how they transfer energy from the pistons, into rotational energy.

Brendan all I can tell you its been nice not knowing ya. Seriously I bought my own 98 ZX6R as my first bike when I was 20. Insurance was not bad for me since I never had tickets or accidents. I was paying around 80 a month full coverage for just myself on my own policy. Any new 600 will kill you just as fast as a liter bike will. Your just asking for a world of hurt dude. Riding on the street takes 110% of your attention and most of it is not from you making mistakes but from other cage drivers that try to take you out any chance they get. Save your money and buy something like a SV650 or older 600cc crotch rocket. If your still alive in a year or two go ahead and move up to a bigger bike if you still feel like you need it. Starting off with a smaller bike will let you get the feel for riding and hone your skills. It will also keep the insurance costs to a min. and if you keep your record clean the insurance companies will give you a better deal on a bigger bike. What ever you get play it safe and remember stunts and tricks and showing off will kill you just like the little old lady that pulls out in front of you. agreed! I dont see why Any new rider needs the latest, greatest, and FASTEST Sport bike in production, like you said..."it was nice knowing ya..."

I had this (or similar) problem with my win 98 machine (500Mhz, 256MB ram, 13GB HDD) what basically ended up happening is a complete reformat, and resinstall of win 98SE, after that, no more BSOD. I would still try to uninstall some uneeded programs, and then reinstall IE, or replace with Mozilla browser good luck, i hate Win98

This is very true, i know first hand of a guy down here in tucson that bought a brand new R6, first bike he had ever owned, and still does not have a Motorcycle Endorsement on his license. But i guess when you play by the rules, you pay out the nose... one more reason for people to break the law.

I agree. Isn't about the only difference between an R6 and an R1, is just how fast it gets to 160? A guy I used to do work for had an R-6, and he said he had no problems getting to about 155. He said it wouldn't go over that. yep the r6 is quick as shit, but like you said it runs out around 160 or so. the R1 will charge on well beyond that, and at those speeds on the street, you are just asking to 1. go to jail or 2. die

I feel ya, i grew up riding dirt bikes, and quads, and whatever else i could get my hands on, and at 16 i bought my first sport bike, a 93 ZX-6. Thinking back now to how scared I was of a 600cc bike, there is no way i would have got an R1. First problem is that you WILL drop your first bike, i said it wouldnt happen since i had been ridding bikes for years...but guess what it happend, and i was glad that it didnt happen to a $10,000 bike. Also i know insurance at 16 on my zx-6 was high, like around 150-200 p/month on my families insurance policy (i was still the primary on the policy) If i would have tried to get insurance on my own, the insurance companies probably would have laughed at me. But anyway, to each his own i guess...

he said "windows 98" BSOD (blue screen of death) try installing a new Internet explorer, or try downloading Mozilla or some other browser and see if you still get the BSOD.

This bike will bite you the very Second you quit paying attention. the power of these new liter class bikes is just amazing. I WOULD NOT buy an R1 as my first sports bike, but thats me. by the way, how much is insurance on an R1 for a 17 year old????

looks like your wheel is tweaked too....

When i turned 16 (i had a job) and i bought (yes i paid for it) a 1993 Kawasaki ZX-6, which i rode for a year, then traded for a ZX-7, never had an accident on either bike. So if you are Smart and Responsible, and know how to ride a sport bike, its not that bad of a deal. But when your idiot frinds with their AUDI S4s try to race you, thats when you will have problems. Just be smart, and dont exceed your own capabilities. and anytime you are riding on the street, you need to be watching out for the IDIOTs around you!

Oh i need some "30 over POSTONS" for my shee too! they must be better than Pistons, because he paid $10,000 for all the X-tras.....what a complete and utter idiot!

Yep, same deal back at home for me. 2 16-17 year old girls were in a car wreck 3 days before getting out of school for the summer. NO Alcohol or drugs were involved, happend After midnight on a road in the middle of nowhere. all it could have been was shear inexperience behind the wheel. Sad deal, one of the girls died, the other is in critical condition.

my buddy has a street legal raptor, he said all they did was make sure he had a brake light, head light, and A mirror....oh and i think you need a horn as well, but thats all they looked at.

Yes, im in Tucson, and my shee is registered. Its not Steet Legal, but it is registered

no way man, i tried it without even touching my mouse and it still got it. then i noticed that a few of the icons will change when you click to try again, i looks like some kind of square root equation... I already Explained how it works.....and yes the symbols change everytime you start the thing over again. its all right here.

Yes, if you ride a bike, you will eventually get hurt. As we always used to say, its not IF its WHEN. Either of the 450s would be great bikes. I have HEARD that the Yam 450 has more of a power hit (almost like a 2 stroke hit) and that the honda (which i have ridden) is a little more controlable. If you are riddin woods, you would probably want a bike you can lug alittle bit, so you are not goin balls-out the whole time. Thats what i would want anyway.

The Main reason i would stay away from a 125 is the fact that they are very peaky. you have to be in the powerband to get anywhere. a 250 is way more ridable power. I rode the CRF450 and was very impressed with that bike. Tons of fun, and Plenty of power waiting when you grab a handfull of throttle. Also with the 4 stroke, you just gas and go, no matter what gear you are in. Pretty fun! and at 235 pounds i think a 250 or the CRF450 are your size. You are probably a bit too big for the 125, you would outgrow the power very quickly.....just my .02

Were building some egressladders for the USAF that cost a lot more than that. Most of it is to cover the 12 months of paper work chasing we have done Egress ladders for what? buildings?
