He's alive
Yea made you suckas think I was dead or something right? I have kinda gotten out of the whole blogging thing hardcore lately. Telling everyone who actually sees me on a regular basis what's going on. (Lemur quite being such a workaholic!)
Since sept I've weathered a recession that people have been pissing themselves in fear over. "Oh my investments!" Get your money out of there then, cut your losses dumbass!" Sure it'd cause the recession to further turn down but if all these rich morons think they can weather the storm with all their investment money still in there then they are fooling themselves.
People think that the stock market effects everything. From jobs to how much money you have to spend on food. It's not. Ignore that magic ticker and live your life as you normally would. Buy things when you have enough saved up. And sell what you don't need to someone who wants it. Also put a little money on the bank K? If yours falls FDIC has your ass. Up to what? 250,000 now? yea, your fine. If we ignore the "problem" it's going to go away. And for once that's totally the solution. To live our lives, keep spending money (not like idiots) and not hording it like it will be worth a damn thing if the market truly crashes.
On a happier note.
Since we've been last updated with Fiery goodness this boy's had the privlage of playing quite a few games... all were deicent titles at least and I'll talk about those I get motivated.
I bought a motorcycle for basic transportation. A ninjette. OR Ninja 250. 2007 model, in Candy Permission Red with the Grey graphics package, used. It's reasonably peppy. Had about 900 miles when I bought it and it is just an all around very comfortable bike to have.
Bone stock it'll get up and go once you wind the engin out of it's deep sleep below 7000RPM (Remember the power peak is at 12000+RPM jsut shy of it's 13000PRM Redline )and at 8-9000 is where teh torque peak is so having it wrapped pretty hard is the norm, it doesn't see to mind though. having around 20HP on board it has enough ooomph to go 100 MPH if so told to do so, and will happily cruise at 70mph without arguing.
Egros are very nice, no hunching over the bike unless you want to. But at speed you might want to. Because the front windshield on the old plastic style is complete crap. A full face helmet is a must, unless you like bugs on your face. Suspension is soft, which is fine for casual riding, but jerk on the brakes and the nose dives pretty hard and the back end gets light so locking up the rear brake in a panic stop is very much a given. Taking this thing to a proper race track would be a task with the suspension set from the factory it needs to be stiffened up significantly; if nothing else the high speed dampening needs to be a lot stiffer. And finally, and this is my biggest gripe on it. THE TIRES ARE COMPLETE SHIT! Those dunlops probably are the cause of half the spills people had on these bikes. They will last forever but good god I hate pushing this bike with them. I've almost lost it half a dozen times through a set of curves i KNOW. On the limit they are very unpredictable. And at the factory pressure setting it's even worse. Run at least 33PSI in the font tire and 36 PSI in the rear the factory suggested pressures are way too low for anyone weighing above 100lbs.
All in all it's a great bike for a beginner, friendly. Very docile at low RPMs (Squids will say it's gutless), and has a very forgiving nature as long as you DON'T push it hard on the stock tires. Just get yourself a good full face helmet and have fun getting near scooter like fuel economy (I am getting around 70mpg) without having a scooter.
Anyone who's over 200lbs though should look into it's bigger brother. The Ninja 500. I haven't ridden one but I have heard it's almost EXACTLY like the 250, just with more CC's and a good bit more torque. Which will benefit heavier riders. Though Fuel economy will drop into the mid 50s to mid 40s from what I've been told.
