So you buy a like Citroen C4 and the game goes "WHAT ARE YOU DOING, MAN?".

And if you win an Aston Martin of some kind he'll go "Now THAT'S what I'm talking about. You've just won the greatest car..................................................................................................
































in the world.

Bean0, you can have up to 4GB of RAM on a 32 bit operating system. Graphics card memory size is, AFAIK, unlimited and shouldn't stack with RAM (but the Graphics Card may still be limited to 4GB maximum size, however I don't think there's a graphics card out yet powerful enough to test that theory. lol)

Of course under XP, if you still prefer to run it (like me) then you will only get 3.5GB RAM due to the unique way in which Microsoft works. Good times.

Anyway, 64 bit is almost universally supported now so there's no reason to not get 64 bit.

Quote from RasmusL :And my point is that the small disc and caliper is plenty to lock the wheel. Any larger disc won't increase stopping power. In general I would trust that a car actually brakes better than a bike, but they are probably quite equal. Most bikes don't even have ABS, and in that case the car is the clear winner as most people brake really bad with their bike.

I've just given you proof that even a trail bike with off road tyres and poor brakes stops bette than a car!! What further proof is needed?

A larger disc WILL increase stopping power however if the tyre cannot cope with that then the extra stopping power will not be able to be used, aside from improve bite and better feel through the lever. Even sport touring road tyres of today are comprable in grip to the tyres used in Moto GP and Superbikes of 5-7 years ago so you're more likely to run out of skill than a tyre run out of grip.

Most motorcyclists are better riders than car drivers at driving, comes of being more at risk. But yeah, anything less than a ceramic stopping powered hypercar and a bike will stop quicker! I'm no god but have had both...and always been able to stop better on a bike than the car mainly because it's harder to feel limits of grip in a car and the ABS cuts in quite early!

Quote from Krammeh :statistics is part of LFSWorld, which is part of the S2 purchase - if the statistics are now void, that kinda displeases some of us stats whores

IT'S TOTAL DISTANCE. Doesn't matter in anything. But by all means...

Oh because obviously total distance is so important and from looking at this application it's not for outright speed.

My point was that that was the only flat out brake comparison I could find. Even in the wet the F650 which is a sort of trailly bike with chunky tyres and a single front disc stopped as quickly as a car, and faster in the dry. A more sporty bike will have much better tyres (street oriented at the very least) and with dual discs AND proper calipers it would be much better.

Yeah I saw that video, take them with a pinch of salt. That's a damp track which is the worst conditions for bikes. There's another video which is a Desmo RR vs a Ferrari 430 Scuderia in which the bike was like 3 seconds faster....

Depends on what video you want to pick

That bike has ABS

and larger discs and better calipers = more braking force?

Quote from MadCatX :I guess this would actually make an interesting experiment. An ordinary bicycle doesn't have a good brakes and not really grippy tires, but even with a rider it doesn't weight over 100 kg. Some racing specials with disc brakes and only few hundred grams of weight are a different story though.
A motorbike might have better brakes, but it is what, 300+ kg? It also has only two tires so the overall stopping force is lower that that of a car.
Comparing a car to a motorbike might be quite tricky too. I'm sure the latest model of Kawasaki Ninja would outbrake Ford Cortina anytime, but it wouldn't stand a chance against say R36 Skyline...

A motorcycle can outstop a car. At least in a dead stop, motorcycle lose time on a circuit compared to cars in terms of mid-corner speed and not being able to brake as much while turning.

Most motorcycles weigh between 170 and 230kgs. 300Kgs + is a seriously large touring bike or a Harley/similar styled cruiser.

Please check out that video. In no way is that a good motorcycle for flat out braking. Chunky tyres, single disc with crummy 2 pot caliper..

Perhaps a superduper supercar with ABS and ceramic discs would give them a run for the money but comparitvely speaking a bike can stop quicker.

Would love to see a high speed bicycle stop though..

Quote from Krammeh :fair play. I will write one that uses axis inputs, so I can make a nice racing bot, and i'll rip up the race servers. no problems!

go for it. You race with talent, you cruise for fun.

But expected little else really from your dictatorship of a server.

Maybe cruise server admins shouldn't take their cruising so seriously.

Although if I had a beard I'd probably be very serious as well.

If we're talking about Motorcycles, a modern motorcycle can stop quicker than a car. Most bikes have at least 280mm discs (same as most cars), most sports bikes have 290+ (normally 308-312mm) with 4 pot radially mounted calipers.

A bicycle on the other hand would not stop as good as a car unless, like what deserves to happen to most bikeists, they crash into a lamp post.

Quote from ColeusRattus :It's quite possible here too, as very surprisingly, all road users, including bicyclists, have to adhere to the traffic rules...

You can also say goodbye to your driving license if you bike drunk.

I'm not sure about your laws however here you cannot lose your driving license for riding a push bike for speeding, or being under the influence. Simply because if someone who didn't have a license wouldn't face any sort of punishment...thus the law would be unfair.

I'm gonna go tape my numberplate on the back of my bicycle and see what happens.

Or put "u mad bro?"

Quote from jibber :Dear lord...

What? I'm getting rid of the budget and putting a matching new michelin premacy hp tyre (that's what the other michelin is) and the rear tyres are both decent branded ones so while i agree not ideal i don't have enough for a full set of Vredestien Sessantas sorry.

Also Mr CRAZYman how much did you pay for those old wheels and your power boosting brake kit? Foiltac ones?
