That is one awesome looking bike. Bloody expensive though. Wish we had them over here just so i could look at them (from the looks of it they only sell the raptor here). Unrestricted it can have more power than my 250! Would struggle to get to 180 (true speed not indicated) i reckon.

A dead power supply won't kill anything else

I have both and the PS3 just sits there. PS3 was a huge waste of money actually. If i were you i would upgrade my pc.

Trail or Trial? Two different things...

Trial


Trail


Trail bike can be road legal but i somehow doubt a Trial bike can be.

How times have changed.

This has always been my favourite Webber crash http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPqrwO9Ac04

Best part of that video was Leigh Diffey. Having two grown mens crotches in my face for 20 minutes is the sort of fun i reserve for saturday nights not youtube videos. Get a desk ffs.

The most recent pics of my bike from a game of tag that is being played in the area i live. As you can see the bike was losing parts as the day wore on

It just failed its warrant of fitness. Need a new chain and rear brake rotor. Will replace chain, both sprockets, rear rotor as well as the front which is almost below minimum thickness. Will cost about $600 NZD in parts (236 GBP, 386 USD) but will do the labour myself. The bike shop was going to charge the same amount for just the rear rotor and chain.

I love Ross Brawn's reply to Rubens, along the lines of "I don't know how he was expecting to win a race with the 11th fastest lap time."

Rubens needs to stfu and thank his lucky stars he is still allowed to drive for yet another top team despite his average as always performances.

While we are here i need one to. Had one years ago but i guess they purge inactive users. Thanks in advance

This is a little more extreme

I hate these browser games that you play for 10 minutes then have to wait about 12 hours before you can play again.

Its getting rather silly how unlucky Webber is. He should have won a few by now.

We have 2 laptops on wireless 3 desktops that are wired and 1 desktop that is wireless. 3 running vista 3 running xp and its a bit of a lottery as too who can see who. When it comes too networking at our house the simple things are always the most difficult.

This is why i want to play the game! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6TnEyrN55I

Just like what i do with Operation Flashpoint only this looks a million times better.

That Phenom II X4 940 looks to be right up my alley! Seems to be much cheaper than the Intel CPUs that have similar performance.

The HD 4870 seems like a decent card as well. Although this combo is already pushing up close to $700 NZD with a mobo and possibly a PSU to come

Well no i don't need one but it would be nice!

Looking for:
CPU
MOBO
GFX
and maybe a PSU

Budget? I dunno lets say $500 NZD as a rough guide but can spend a bit more.

Would do this myself but i stopped following hardware about 2 years ago so i really do not know whats what anymore.

Current system is:
AMD Athlon XP 2500+
1GB RAM
Radeon 9600 XT

I like to mess around in photoshop and do enjoy editing movies (as does my dad) so a quad core may not be totally wasted on me!

Here is a website so you don't have to convert the monies! http://www.pricespy.co.nz/

CPU is much more important than a good GFX card to me. Thanks for any helpful replies!

I've used my PS3 controller on this Vista computer since the day I got it about 9 months ago - everything USB works fine here so I suggest it's a (user) error at your end

lucky boy then! i didn't fully read all the info when i first did it and it quite clearly said do not do it on vista. probably didnt help that it was an RC version either. XP install over the top has me sorted for now :shhh:

Quote from boothy :

Thats BS.

Go and run ps3sixaxis_en.exe on vista and then tell me how it goes! Hope you have a non usb mouse and keyboard handy!

Forgot to say do not try using the PS3 controller if you are on vista. You will totally screw it up and loose all your usb devices.

follow this guide http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fotFIDi7BHU

Triggers are buttons not analog though

That looks pretty damn good to me!

When that image was posted i was going to say how pathetic it is people analyse these images just to spot cars. Then this argument breaks out which is even more pathetic. Who cares what it is just wait for the damn game.

It started working again today for no apparent reason.

Quote from MadCat360 :

I agree, Forza 2 drives very well, however, it is not simulated in the same way as LFS. In Forza 2 a car is just a box with a bunch of sliders for the developers to play around with. In LFS, the cars are constructed with suspension components. As a result, Forza 2 is an approximation of what is happening, wheras LFS is truly simulating things like wheels movement, damper movement and body roll. In layman's terms, in LFS you're seeing the simulation with your very eyes, in Forza it's just an effect. This is provable by adjusting the ride height in Forza - there is no change in the car's actual visual height, it's just a simulation parameter. In LFS, adjusting the ride height truly does raise the body, and doesn't just apply a behavior parameter. See what I'm saying?

What you just said is ridiculous. Your saying Forza 2 isn't as good a sim because changes only affect the way the car handles and not the way the car looks.

I am paying for Muay Thai classes although i have only turned up twice since our group trip to train in China which was in February.

Every Wednesday i play soccer and touch with mates.

Used to cycle and run but im a bit lazy right now.
