  1. I've seen some cheaper speakers/receivers on http://www.audioadvisor.com/.

    The Athena LS-300 which are (supposedly) regular $250 each for $200/pair. The only problem I see with these is that they don't have the low bass that you need for the Snoop Dogg. (Although specification wise they still have comparable bass to the Sonys (38hz versus 35hz).)

    I've never heard the Parasound, but according to the reviews it seems impressive for $260. It's a "factory-refreshed" unit, and that's why it's $100 cheaper than normal.

    But if you truly want to rock out on a budget, headphones are the way to go. Although, I currently own Sennheisers, I've owned a few Grados, and they are the best headphone for your buck. I've had non-audiophile friends put the Grados on and say, "Wow, I've never heard anything sound that good." They will truly open your eyes (and ears), and let you hear all the music that you're not hearing through your computer speakers or ipod ear buds.

    Good luck with your search.

  2. I've been thinking about getting a second bike for around $3,000-$3,500 (GSX-R750, GSX-R600, R6, ZX-6R) My primary concern is to get something fuel-injected. My secondary concern is how good it will be on the track with minimal upgrades (sliders, tires, cheap suspension upgrades).

    I'm kind of new to the whole track scene, so I was wondering what the most cost-affective bike-route would be in the 3k-3.5k price range. I was also wondering who I should take the bike to, to get it tuned up.

    I am thinking about offering $2800 for this: http://cleveland.craigslist.org/mcy/1677553608.html

  3. Prior to today, I'd never been over 6,000 rpm. I know, laugh.

    Holy crap, it's like a whole different bike above that, though.

    I remember the hardest thing to do when I got my new bike was keep it under 6,000 rpm, despite the correlation to around 100mph in 6th. I've always heard that the best way to break-in a bike is to ride it like you're running from the cops with lots of engine speed variation, so that's what I did.

  4. I'm only paying 650 a year (Full Coverage) for the 1125R with State Farm. And I don't really have a great driving record.

    Oh yeah, and I have nothing else insured with State Farm, so it'd probably be cheaper if I had other stuff through them.

  5. That's good that you made it through. I've had so many people pull out in front of me that I just expect it to happen. So I usually just throttle hard past the intersection before they have a chance to finally stop, look, and pull out, in front of me. Or if they're already there, I slow down, turn on my right turn signal, wait for them to pull out, and then go. And sometimes for the really big old cars where I see the white hair at about steering wheel level, I'll actually do a right turn and then a u-turn. Sometimes when I'm in a hurry, I'll just do a little weaving to increase my visibility and hope for the best.

  6. Then get an old kawi or gsxr 1100 if you need a dick-enhancing bike. You don't need 154 HP at the crank to move you and your fat ass girlfriend down the street

    According to wikipedia the 09 GSXR 1000 has 191 horsepower at the crank. And honestly, I don't think 191 is too much horsepower.

    I would so love to have a 499 horsepower Hayabusa!
