Been in a motorcycle accident myself,I cant watch those videoes anymore I knew a bunch of people that have been in motorcycle accidents and most of them are from people turning into their lane. One guy showed up at work with this crisscross marks on his face. He got ran off the road into a chain link fence. Something like 98% of motorcycle accidents here are due to another driver in a car. We have the worst drivers in europe,something like 4th worst in the world I think lol... where do you even pull a statistic like that from? Edit: In any case I'd rather be in a car if I'm going to get into an accident... There is a big fuss over it here because so many people are killed by car drivers. I keep up on the latest info on riding and government related stuff to riding. I dont know how its handled over there because of state to state difference,but in a small country like mine its a whole different thing. Also,I cant drive a car I just have a hard time believing that 98% of the time it's the fault of any one group...
Had a friend get into and accident on a motorcycle once and her arm never looked the same...
They have some kind of rule over there that bans you from driving cars but allows you to drive motorcycles?

Can't, like... You're not capable of it? Or that you don't have one and are unable to drive because you don't have one?

You have no idea how bad our drivers actually are,its astonishing.
And I never learned to drive a car,dont have a license
Edit: I re-read what I wrote,I worded it poorly. 98% or so of multivehicle accidents is what I meant.There are still solo accidents based on user error and things like road disrepair etc

Cultural differences sure are unusual sometimes.
I've been legally driving since I got my learner's permit at 15 1/2. I'm almost 29.
Then again, I can't operate a motorcycle, either.

I just have no interest in driving a car myself. When I was first getting my bike, I weighed the pros and cons of both and decided I'd go with the bike. I could go out at any time and get a car license if I wanted. There is also a restriction on licenses and stuff here lately.
From the day you get your learner's permit (car/bike doesnt matter) you have to have at least a 6 month wait before you can take your full license test. For a bike rider with a learner permit you're restricted to only bikes with 33bhp or less (based on power/weight). Once you get your full license the same restriction still applies for exactly 2 years so you can get alot more riding experience and not go out and kill yourself on a big bike the day after you pass.
And yes people do think I'm weird for almost being 27 and not having/wanting a car license

Okay, this should be my last GPU question.
The only difference between this one and this one are the clock speeds. Is the $30 ($40 after rebates) difference worth it? I'm already pushing my budget up just to get the ti over the regular 660, and don't want to spend even more money if I won't see a difference.

Basically the FTW is OC'd and I know they have different coolers but I'm not sure how different and all.

I'm pretty sure we don't have anything like that here, but I've never looked into it. The only thing I know about motorcycle laws, and it may just be my state, is that while you have your permit, you're required to wear a helmet. Most people would be screaming, "My rights! My rights!" if you tried to tell them what they could/couldn't ride after being licensed on it.
I can't imagine always riding a motorcycle... But unless I'm totally mistaken, you don't have the weather extremes that we get here in Ohio, either.

I can't imagine that I'll be playing anything that requires that extra little bit of power... I'm not a total graphics freak, anyway. I'm okay with it if I can't run everything at max as long as it looks decent.

You're already getting the step up from 660 to 660ti, as it stands the 660ti is arguably the best bang for your buck enthusiast level card so just go with the default.

The law here says you have to wear a helmet no matter what type or power of bike you have,or no matter what license you hold. Thats the only mandatory piece of safety gear. The rest is optional. Personally I wont get on my bike ever without FULL gear anymore (boots/pants/jacket/gloves + helmet). I'm not sure what the weather is there. We just get alot of cold/rain/wind here. Snow/ice isnt too common even during winter anymore (you'd be stupid to ride in it anyways) but thats about it.

Compact streets and traffic is hell.
Glad I live in a rural area.
I already say horrible ***to people when I drive as is.
Today I wished the plague on someone because they were stupid and don't know how to look where they are going.
Edit: yeah Quiz. That movie is what I stereotype everyone in Europe by now.

This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
