I love my morning commute. I went 165mph on my bike this morning. I really have to get that camera mount. :icon25:

If one day we never hear from you again, we'll know why.

sweet. I touched 155 a month or so ago trying to keep up with a friend who has just bought a 05 GSX1000. I gave up after pooing myself

Don't you think that is too fast for a bicycle?

It's disgustingly fast, but what a fucking rush.

inolen, is that a Suzuki?

nope it's not.

I thought the R1 was fast. Well next to the 05 GSXR1000, it's a moped.

Post by **Nightshade** » Thu Oct 20, 2005 12:04 pm

Bullshit. They're nearly identical, performance-wise.

moped

It's an f4i. Suzukis are fragile pieces of shit, as are yamahas.

So now that the game is out...what all did you get to do on that new Tony Hawk game? Or was that not the one you worked on?

I have been doing mostly tools work. Perl scripts, localization, tools for specific tasks of the build process, etc.

Yer smokin' rope. At least about the Yamahas.

No. They are incredibly fragile in an effort to make them lighter. The subframe on the new yamahas is die cast aluminum ffs. I've cracked one bolting it on. I broke a peg on it from a parking lot tip over, I broke a fairing stay coming down from a single 12, the list goes on and on. They are very fragile, just like the gixxers.

I've heard nothing about Yammies being weak, but I've seen pics of an '05 Gixxer that snapped completely in half after colliding with a Harley at 20mph. Frame failed completely just aft of the triple tree.
Anything will fail if you slam the shit out of it like you ICY HOT STUNTA types do. :icon25:

edit: btw, what subframe?

Interesting, I've only heard one cracking story, and that was one of the ram air ducts after a hard wheelie.
