The BT-016 is a great tire, especially for the money (here at least they are a lot cheaper than Pilot Powers). 
I have a Kawasaki 650R which has a 160 rear tire, and yes you can get pretty much any tire you want in a 160, but I do find that the package deals and special offers are more often for the 180 rear tires...
As for the power of a SV650, anyone who really thinks they *need* more power for the street is compensating for something. An average biker on a litre bike wouldn't see which way a very good rider went on an SV650 if the road is twisty enough. Yes, a more powerful bike will give you bigger grins when you crack the throttle open, but in the real world, something like an SV650 has plenty of power for the street.

I tutor high school math, and although it's not the most lucrative job, I absolutely love it. I am going to continue with it regardless of whether it'll make me rich or not, because it makes me happy.
I usually have oatmeal (but not the premade packs with loads of sugar!) with some blueberries thrown in.
I didn't know there was a Z750, we only have the Z1000 over here Yeah, the engine on the Tiger is fantastic... it just pulls from any rpms, you can pretty much leave it in 4th all day. Although I found myself shifting gears a lot just to hear the exhaust as I blipped the downshifts I'd love a Speed Triple.. the same 1050 as in the Tiger just with more power and in a lighter chassis. I bet it would be a blast.

How does the 1050 triple compare with the Z1000 in performance and power delivery?
I used to go to the gym but I found the driving time sapped my motivation, and then I wouldn't go very often, and then I cancelled my membership. Recently I have been getting back into resistance workouts but have been doing them at home. There is a lot of good information online on good workouts you can do at home with just your body weight, and maybe a few things like a medicine ball, swiss ball, and some free weights. Without a lot of expense you can get a variety of decent workouts without going to the gym.
I love doing this because I can do my whole workout at home in about the same amount of time it used to take me to travel to the gym! This makes it a lot more sustainable for me, because there's not a whole load of effort traveling etc etc. I like to work out Mon, Wed, and Fri, and I have a few different workouts that I rotate between to keep it interesting and to give my body some different challenges week to week.
As for running.... well I ran a few years ago on concrete without properly researching about what needs to be done to protect your knees. I don't think my shoes were ideal, I was only running on hard surfaces, I was heavy, and I probably wasn't stretching and exercising my legs in the optimum way to protect my knees, and I ended up with very sore knees after a couple of months. I stopped running, but have had trouble with my knees ever since because I have been too lazy to do my exercises. However since I started doing my exercises routines at home, I have been building the strength up in my legs a lot, and my knees are no longer sore. MUCH better than they've ever been since I stopped running, and nearly as good as they were before I ran

I just got an offer for 3 months of iRacing for $25, might take that... could someone please tell me when the next season starts please? I want to get the 3 months at the last possible time so I know it will last for the whole season, but I don't know how to find it myself given I'm not currently subscribed
Nice Mark, nice 
UK was Eye of the Tiger, I think the week after I was born it was Come on Eileen
US was Abracadabra, Steve Miller Band.
Aus was Goody Two Shoes by Adam Ant.

So basically you're too lazy to find the information for yourself, and you wanted it spoon fed to you in a new thread.
There is a LOT of information of the kind you're asking for in the other threads.Well, instead of starting a new thread, I will post my incredibly useful and interesting comments here....
I was gone for a while.
But now I'm back.

Not sure really! Luge would be fun, just to give it a go of course
Looks like a lot of fun Hopefully I'll get a chance to do something similar at the Vancouver/Whistler facility after the 2010 Olympics

I like that it says it's a £48,000 simulator Either the price of rFactor has gone up since I last checked, or he's got the most expensive triple monitor setup around!

Wow, trying to get help on a cell phone during an exam, nice going!
Wow, a whole two hours!! That's not exactly a lot

Nice idea for a thread! Mine is pretty boring though, I just have to walk through to the front room of where I live as I work from home...
Yeah! We should hook this kid up with LFS! 6 miles is about the length of most pick up races, he should be fine!
When durbster suggested watching the stuff that wasn't mindless crap, I don't think he was including Big Brother in his list
That's something I definitely would call mindless crap. There is some other good stuff out there though... I think it's worthwhile owning a TV just to repeatedly watch the Planet Earth series, for example.Yeah, 50,000 hours should do you for a while! At 2 hours per day, 365 days per year, 50,000 hours would take 68 years! Even if you watched it 8 hours a day it would be 17 years, and by then a replacement tv would be a heck of a lot cheaper!

I definitely see your view, and I think a lot of us think this way, but it makes me wonder how we got to thinking like this. Saying we can't take it away makes me think, well how did we survive before we even had cell phones, if we can't even live without using them while we're operating a potentially lethal weapon.
I only started using cell phones about 3 years ago, but I'm as dependent on mine as anyone else these days... I always carry it on my person and it pretty much never leaves my side. I just wonder how we got ourselves into this feeling of needing to be able to be reached 24-7. We used to manage back before cell phones, emails, and text messages! But now we see people out there who feel that it's important enough to respond to a text message immediately that they will do so while driving 70mph on the highway, rather than waiting until they're stopped or out of their vehicle.
I guess a lot of it is the expectations placed upon us by society and the media... It's now simply expected of us that we should be able to be reached at all times wherever we are. I love the convenience of cell phones, but I think we take it a bit too far sometimes and just don't step back and realize how dangerous what we're doing is.
As you can probably figure out, I voted for "not use your phone in any way while driving".
I'd be really interested in seeing some of your work on this, if you'd be so kind as to post up some of your methods and results!
Then when you've done it in 16 minutes Dustin you need to aim for the 11 minute 2 miles you mentioned to me recently
