gotta love the big V-twins. just picked this up a few weeks back, well px'ed my vfr400 for it anyways. havent had a chance to ride it yet really as the shock needs a rebuild, will deffo be getting done before summer though.

the new beasty, currently returning it to its original unmolested state:



just got rid of the little viffer, not the most powerful bikes but they can give just as much thrills:



also got my wee bike for when its wet and muddy:

exactly what im after, especially liking the sound of the replay analyser. nice 1

without me trawling through the pages of add-ons with basically no idea of what im looking for can someone point me in the right direction of the must have add-ons.

cheers

after 10 min of fiddling i got sub 9 seconds, ill have another 10 minutes to see if i can get any better, if not i give up

couldnt do it, got to 8.72

Quote from danowat :

BTW, how come you have your bike license, but not your car?, I thought if you lost your car license you also lost the "right" to use your bike license too, didnt realise they were mutually exclusive

Dan,

i lost my car liscence when i was 18, because i hadnt been driving 2 years i would have had to resit my theory and test. ill stick with the bike for now. although the 80 mile commute in sub zero temperatures this winter may change my mind

i tried it once just for the fun of it, really does taste like absolute crap and it lingers for a good while. id rather suck a fart from a fat birds ass tbh

made a little vid from the autocross track with someones layout from here. only had the game just over a week so its by no means anything special but i think im progressing ok. constructive critisicm is more than welcome:

its pretty much like other habits such as nail biting. what started out as something used to alleviate stress or occupy your mind has now been going on so long your do it uncosciasly (sp).
its obviously nowehere as dangerous to your health as a chain smoker or alcoholic and the worst youll probably get is a chipped tooth, but if you want to address the situation you will need to use a method that will make you aware that you are actually doing it. maybe use the same stuff that nail biters do which tastes absolutely rank. put it on a few of your favourite chew bits and no doubt youll forget about it, until of course you start chewing.

im a lazy git when it comes to my desktop, thats where all my downloads go till either it gets to full or i can be bothered to move them

Quote from v4forlife :

looking for a new bike atm, so i can get mine off the road and really start work. just something cheap.
no car licence at the mo, but im going into the army soon, so they will sort that.

my beast without an exhaust:

lol, loving the moto gp style exhaust, sounds meaty although i bet it rides like an absolute dog. did you take it for a spin when it was off?? my mate has a full ethos system on his RVF but it sounds like a wet fart tbh. ive heard much better cheaper systems about for them.

no need for me to take the exhausts off the old bike it done well enough with them on lol:

and what happens to the excess fuel on a 1000cc carbed bike:

Quote from Leifde :

It has a 125cc Rotax engine, gives somewhere around 20hp (can be as low as 17 and as high as 24). It's something like 140hp per ton with driver. Also this is the junior version, the senior version has 28hp and gives around 170hp per ton with driver. The quickest karts have 95hp which is about 440hp per ton.

P.S. I've done 65mph on a 150m straight. And the braking distance to a corner from 65mph can be as little as 10m during summer

EDIT: It's probably not that far off the MRT in terms of performance.

sweet, would that be the 122/123 engines?? had a 122 engined rs125 and was an absolute hoot, with the gearing and weight advantage on the karts though i bet there easily twice as quick.do any classes run the the 257 lump?? seem to be rare as rocking horse s**t, would love 1 for an r125 conversion/track bike

sweet, what engine do they use and how much power does it make?? bet the power to weight on them things are mental

Quote from Gentlefoot :

Here's my current beastie. I'll take a photo of each of the cars too sometime.

gorgeous mate, i love the old SRADS. the late 90's were the best years for bike production imo. is it the 600 or 750??

nice 1, just had a quick look at FRAPS, will download it and give it a bash tonight. cheers

Quote from spsamsp :

Repeated thread #932196

i imagined so but i checked the vast 4 pages of offtopic and couldnt find owt. + im new so im excused lol

thought it would be quite intresting to see some of the members rides and there specs as the majority will be avid petrol heads.
only the bike liscence at the moment but hopefully get my car liscence back sometime in the future:

my current ride:





and an action pic:




havent had it long so the mods have only gone as far as SP1 calipers, EBC HH sintered pads, HRC rear brake resevoir, braided lines and a couple of pretty bits.
oredering a set of hyperpro fork/shock springs which will go on with a full rebuild and am waiting for the right can to come along on fleabay

is there any way of converting the replays so they can be edited in movie maker???
also which file do the replays go into i cant find them anywhere.

cheers

Quote from v4forlife :

sp2.
tank distance is bad on it though, but not as bad as a firestorm.

damn right, mine used to get 70 miles to a tank. needless to say rideouts were rather expensive

im should be getting the SP1 next year if all goes to plan, currently got a 96 blade but the IL4's have nothing on a good twin. there an exotic japanese bike which imo makes them more sought after than any italian bike.
the only thing you have to remember when buying them is they are a completely track biased bike, perfect for the sunday run but youd want to chuck it off a bridge if used for the everyday commute. the other problem with them is the fuel injection is very snatcy at low RPM although its easily sorted with a power commander and some dyno time.
all depends on what you need the bike for, if its purely to ride the balls off it then go with the Honda (imo of course).

I spoke to a good forum attendant because I said so, THAT'S WHY!


spot on lol, i have a shorter fuse than a chinese firework built by a blind man called ching yang with 1 thumb and 3 testicles

i use syringes on my bikes, although i wouldnt say no to 1 of them.how much are they??

nothing wrong with that imo, you see worse on public bill boards. only people that will complain is the sad old gits with nothing better to do than beat children on the streets with there walking sticks and count there growing number of 1950's carrier bag collection

that looks awesome fair play, just a pity i dont use that car

sounds like a good idea mate. ive had the game nearly a week now and have mostly been practicing the drift element of the game. ive got to the point where i can get round 2 tracks now without cocking up but i still think i can get a lot more angle on my drifts.
loving the track you have made aswell, ive been on a few servers now watching some guys donuting around cars but i didnt want to try myself as i knew id end up nailing straight into the other car. this track will really help.
cheers

couldnt afford the boozer tonight so i thought id knock a quick mini cooper skin up for the UF GTR. ill be using it on my car but feel free to use it on your own:
