  2. HOCKED showroom driver Martin Bullen faced a tricky phone call to his boss after this £250,000 Ferrari went up in smoke. Martin, 43, was at the wheel as the 599 GTB Fiorano burst into flames at traffic lights. Firefighters were quickly on the scene and doused the blaze – but the car was wrecked. And shaken Martin was left to break the news to Paul Jaconelli, owner of supercar garage Romans International in Banstead, Surrey. Paul, who had asked Martin to drive the motor to repairers, said yesterday: “He rang me and said, ‘Your car’s just gone up in flames’. “At first I hoped he was joking, but I soon realised he was serious. “I asked him why it had happened and he said he had no idea. “Martin’s worked here since he was 15 and he’s a great guy. It’s obviously not his fault – so I’m not going to hold it against him.†The amazing blaze was caught on camera by a stunned passer-by. Advertisement Paul, 58, added: “Martin said the car made a noise at the lights, then just went up in smoke. It should be covered under warranty – but it wasn’t great news.â€

  4. I was at toys'r'us and got these beauties for 80 cents each! SCORE! THey also had a maverick, but I figured 4 was enough
  5. they're pretty solid. i'll admit to dropping my bike at a standstill 2-3 times (first one) and it fired right up (after the carbs filled again). never sat on a 96 or earlier 600r, so i don't know how much they've changed.
  6. but you can also have lots of fun on a bike. in california, lane sharing is legal, and very helpful in heavy congested traffic. It's more beneficial for me to lane share and spend 25 min going to work, vs. 45min in a car
  7. It's pretty upright, a cross between a tourer and a sport bike. Lately, sportbikes have you completely crouched down, and most of your weight rests either on your arms, or your legs are doing most of the support. In 95 model yzf600r is different than the 96-2007 1995 96-2007 As long as the pricing is negotiable, 2000-2200 is a fair price if it has low mileage. Keep in mind, they were 7k brand new msrp, and i bought my 2000 in 2005 (5 years old) for 2,800 with about 16k miles. Things to check out are the drive chain (should be replaced every 10k miles, along with sprockets). Check for excessive wear, and how worn the sprocket teeth are. Those yzf600rs are known for 2nd gear synchros occasionally going out, so find out if any of those issues were experienced. Also, if it has a difficult time going from 2nd to 1st, change weight of the oil, it helps. I think I was running 15w50 in mine and it made it run smoother. Ergonomics are decent, but the stock seat is pretty crappy and soft. After 30 minutes of continuous riding, it'll sag and your butt won't be too happy. Also, ask to see the bike cold, so you can fire it up and warm it up. You'll probably need to keep the choke on for a little bit. If it has an exhaust, and has a difficult time firing up or running smooth, jets haven't been adjusted to compensate for the exhaust. Look at engine side covers to check if it's been dropped - those are the first parts to touch the ground - vertical scratches mean it was dropped from stand still, horizontal means they were dropped at speed. Aside from that, very solid and dependable bike. I would get 50-55mpg average on highway out of mine without doing anything stupid. 40 or so if I was having fun or mixed riding

    Lol!

    it's deal's gap. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deals_Gap the cruiser dude, like many others, can't go around corners properly, so they cut over into oncoming lane because they lack skill/equipment to go quickly enough and maintain travel in hte correct lane. sport bike guys are making fun of him (and others)
  9. sure, buy the whole car! I fired it up last night, runs like a champ!
  10. '98 YZF600R, first bike, pic from 2000 '00 YZF600R, 2nd bike, pic from 2005. '00 Triumph TT600, pic from 3 months ago So you know I'm not exactly new to bikes either.
  11. So I'm confused... what exactly makes the 650r "the gayness"? It's direct competition to the sv650, twin config, dohc, liquid cooled, makes 50 ft lbs of torque at 7k rpm. So, what is that reason? To the original poster: 250 is not enough bike for you even for a first bike. If you want to look into a good starter bike, sv650/650r are good units, maybe a used YZF600r (that was my first bike, great starter bike), FZ6 as someone mentioned, ZX6R, maybe a suzuki GS500 if you want to go smaller. Get whatever you feel comfortable on that's not super powered. My friend's first bike was a Honda VFR (V-4, torquey like a vtwin, and has good top end) 750cc. Just save $1,000 for decent gear. Helmet/jacket/boots/gloves are a must
  12. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/car/737337295.html selling my friend's wrecked m3. 140k on hte clock, bone stock
  13. btw, i'm actually running xp pro 64 bit, not 32 bit vista or xp i'm getting a tad better usage
  14. I've had 2 ECS motherboards last 4 and 6 years, respectively. One is still running in Capt Furious's PC when his PSU burned out his motherboard, the other is powering my arcade PC
  15. Here's what I got from Fry's a month ago on sale: Intel quad core 6600 (2.4ghz, 8 megs combined cache) ECS E31-T motherboard (yeah, cheap, but works fine, 3gbps sata xfer rate) 2x2gb corsair pc6400 ram evga geforce 8600gt w/ 1gb of ram pci-e video card. total cost? $380 before rebates, 300 after
  16. change your car's name. trust me, it's tainted.
  17. i'm about 85-90 miles out, and my new work schedule doesn't allow much (on call), otherwise I'd love to
  18. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/Supra-Blows-up-on-the_166893.htm lol. i didn't know supra airbags deployed by amount of g-forces on the seat belts. i do now!
  19. 440 was probably more efficient than the 400! also, i think i took that pic?
  20. or Have to dress up like Chevy to drive it! I would!
