  1. read what he wrote, no matter what or how little the car moved he still broke the law by putting the keys or driving a car. He obvious got a dui for blowing past the legal limit in ohio, or refusing to take the test.

     

    It doesn't say if the key was in the ignition when he was putting the top down.

     

    On my old E30 the top was manual so there didn't have to be a key in the car. No key in ignition means no DUI.

  2. I bet it doesn't put that to the ground. A lot of bike companioes claim a lot of power. Doesn't translate to real-world dyno numbers. There are many things to consider as well. Every modern sportbike from say 2000 and up has a sealed airbox that at speed forces air into the engine. No different than a turbo car with an intercooler on the dyno, you just can simulate 100+ mph winds. If you could, I would bet the number on the dyno would go up at least 10%. Dynos are for tuning and all of them read differnt. As long as the power curve is inline, and doesn't seem way off power, don't worry about it.

     

    So S10000RR puts 180+ to the wheel on the dyno and his R1 puts 150 on the dyno. The BMW puts down more horse power either way.

     

    It was more or less a joke than anything either way.

  3. Mojoe, I wasn't trying to start an argument, I'm just stating that I don't get where the blind spot thing comes into play. If I put on my helmet and look behind me I can see everything that I need to be able to see with it on. That is on my bike anyway.

     

    EDIT: There will be spots you can't see with helmet on that you could see without one on, but are they spots that you need to be able to see while on the road. I've found that the spots that are blocked I don't need to be able to see to safely maneuver on the roads. I've only had one helmet though as well so I guess this is biased.

  4. After having my SV I've decided to keep it. I was all about selling and buying another bike but I've come to love it in the twisties. It's not going to beat any I4 in a straight line, but that's what liter bikes are for.

     

    SV650 is a great bike for commuting, learning and hitting the twisties on.

  5. If you can't afford the insurance rates don't have a bike. You get quotes before you get vehicles, or most people do. Obviously the extra money you're spending on the insurance isn't enough to make you not have it.

     

    Bitch at people for not wearing jackets more than helmets. The hospital bill I assume would be more for a visit to the doctor for some really bad scrapes compared to a death.

  6. How don't you have good peripheral vision with a helmet on? I can turn my head enough to see everything behind me when backing up, and when on the road, you should have mirrors on your bike. Set them up so that you can see what's behind you and anything they don't pick up you should have plenty of room to move your head enough to see what your mirrors don't. I have yet to have a close call because my helmet blocked any vision I needed to see behind me, simply because it doesn't.
