<0> yeah.. the bike was totaled
<0> and there wasnt a whole lot left of the dog..
<1> we're talking km/h here right?
<0> no
<1> your story is more believable in km/h than mph
<0> it was on the freeway.. nice long strait strech.
<0> 3am, no traffic..
<2> yeah, at 210mph, even perfectly dry hay would be something that would be hard to "walk" away from
<1> i guess as long as you had good gear on and stayed on the road...
<0> ****in dog came out of no where
<2> at 210mph I'm pretty sure anything would come out of nowhere
<0> heh
<0> yeah, like little pebbles in the road,
<0> you know a bird to the helmet would have killed me..
<2> ah well, darwin loses again, but its like gambling, eventually the house wins
<0> I miss my cbr...
<3> I'm with iamben, walking away from an impact with hay @ 210mph sounds farfetched
<3> I can beleive living, but walking away is pushing it.
<0> I was hurt, but I didn't break anything thank god..
<2> break anything? if you landed head first on a pile of goose down pillows you'd be breathing eating and crapping through a tube
<0> had my leathers on.. or I'de have been full of little holes
<1> my friend has a cbr600, i dont think it goes that fast though
<0> ok, well, time to go to work.. where the **** is my ride?!
<0> lol
<1> power is still out at my work, didnt go in
<1> by the time this crap is over, much of the city will have been out of power a full week
<1> poor bastards
<4> what kind of bike
<4> if you hit a dog at 200+mph you would have died
<1> he said cbr, thats a honda sportbike
<4> yeah
<4> cbr out of the box won't touch 200
<1> i imagine they make one bigger than the 600
<3> yes they do
<3> I knew a guy who had the CBR900RR, he regularly took it up past 175mph
<1> whats it, a 900?
<3> Sold it when he had kids though.
<3> iamben: yeah, 893cc IIRC
<1> some of those are a little ridiculous, more power in a little bike than most compact cars
<3> iamben: yeah, 123HP
<3> stock that is :-)
<1> my first car was 69hp brand new
<3> he had tuned it a fair bit, so I ***ume he had at least 130
<1> by the time i got it, it was 10 years old and probably 50hp =)
<4> CannedBar: out of box they won't touch 200
<3> MrStabby: I never said it could OOB, all I can confirm is that he took it past 175 quite often.
<4> you're looking closer to 170
<4> oh thats what I was referring to
<3> he said he was afraid to take it too far past because the brakes were only rated to 175 :-)
<4> eh
<4> you wouldn't use brakes at that speed
<1> yeah and who knows when you'll have a dog jump out in front of you..
<1> from a hay field
<4> let off the throttle and it'd slow down very quickly
<4> i'd had a deer jump out in front of me while on my harley, but i dodged it
<3> MrStabby: maybe he wanted to do a nose stand at 100+ mph :-P
<4> haha maybe
<3> dodged a coyote at 90mph a few months ago in my accord, it was rather interesting.
<4> we took my buddy's t-rex up to 200
<4> heh
<4> give or take 5mph or so
<3> I never trust a spedo up past 100 anyway
<1> my CL's is pretty good up until the governor kicks in (according to gps)
<4> CL's?
<1> piece of crap wont let me go past ~118
<1> acura CL, basically an accord
<3> iamben: haha.
<4> ooh
<4> i don't have a governor
<3> that's funny, I don't have a governor on my 4cyl ;-0
<1> my integra didnt
<1> im pretty confident i could do 140 if it would let me
<3> I took it up to "136" (what the spedo said) to test if it was limited like the Japanese models
<1> my integra did 130 and my CL still has much more to give when it stops me at 118
<3> iamben: you have the 2.3 or 3.2 engine?
<1> i do have a jdm motor so i imagine its a jdm ecu
<1> its a 2.2cl w/ the ole h22 swapped in
<1> thats probably whats ****ing me, the jdm ecu
<3> oooo, h22 swap, yeah, you got a lot of room left if my F23 can hit 136
<4> my 1988 crown vic can probably go 120
<4> heh
<4> maybe
<4> on a really good day, downhill with a tail wind. wouldn't only get 4mpg though
<3> MrStabby: keep in mind that they Crown Vic is a cop car, so they tended to have decent power
<1> CannedBar: is that the f23 w/ or w/o vtec?
<3> granted the cops threw a different manifold and a supercharger on their Interceptors
<3> iamben: w/
<3> the ghetoo VTEC though. :-\
<1> whattya mean?
<4> mine is the police interceptor
<1> MrStabby: i knew a guy in HS who had an old police mustang 5.0, still w/ black & white paint =)
<4> jesus that's sweet
<3> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VTEC#SOHC_VTEC-E
<4> have the tear-drop spotlight on the side?
<1> CannedBar: yeah i gotcha now, h22 being DOHC & higher compression
<1> but i gotta use premium gas
<3> iamben: yeah, I would love to swap an h22 in, but it doesn't make sense for me to do it
<1> i bought this one w/ the swap done, from one of my brother's friends
<3> I would also have to get one of the later H22's (97-01) to satisfy CARB regulations
<5> i have a 5.0 V8 Tbird.
<5> it's a load.
<3> load of ?
<1> i have pre-97 obd1
<3> (fun|crap|money|junk|etc)
<5> just a load
<5> crap, junk, ect..
<5> i get maybe 10mpg
<3> iamben: yeah, I live in California so I gotta satisfy their damn requirements
<5> nothing works in it anymore.
<5> electrical is ****ed.
<5> original suspension
<3> I wouldn't want to swap engines twice every 2 years to get it smogged
<1> when i bought this thing the cat had been chopped out, i put one back in to make it a bit easier on the ears
<5> my next car will be a nice foreign car.
<5> maybe a prius.
<5> fast cars are overrated unless you're 17 years old.
<1> or unless you like having fun
<5> fun?
<5> rwd is no fun in the snow
<5> hell, it's no fun in the rain!
<1> you can get *decently* fast fwd
<5> i could burn through tires on a daily basis if i wanted.
<1> yeah my brother has a 350z and i've had to take him into work more than a few times when weather hits
<3> iamben: that's no fun, he should let you use the 350z when you have to drive him :-)
<6> i think he meant it won't start
<6> so that wouldn't work either
<1> sometimes he uses my car for a road trip and i get the z in the meantime
<6> I love my 240
<6> and i'd only give it up for a 350
<6> or a specific bmw model
<1> i still like the 300zx styling
<6> '93 and later?
<2> nastjuid: whats in the 240?
<6> i think it was 93
<6> drags: 2.4 litre
<6> it's a truck engine, more torque than hp
<6> it's fun to drive
<1> 91 is the one my bro had, not sure how long they kept that styling
<5> cars ****
<5> i need a new one real bad
<6> yeah
<6> ok
<6> i like that body style
<5> no way in hell i'm going to pay another 4 years though.
<6> especially the T top
<1> yeah his was the t top twin turbo
<1> sold it when it looked like the maintenance might start costing a lot
<6> iamben: http://dan.hersam.com/myz/index.html?id=1
<6> beautiful machine
<6> some guy parked his 280 tt next to my 240 at my apartment
<6> hehe
