Hey Luiz...you are correct sir, I have a 1998 yellow CBR900RR. It is quite outdated by todays standards, but it is still a lot of fun. Your dash looks different than mine, what year is yours?

About 275km/h = 172mph ...................


The bike can go more, (I achieved 290km/h = 181mph one time) but the asphault is weird, full of imperfections ........... so the run can be dangerous if you run more than this, and too much traffic ........

Tha guy in first bike, the red one (RF900 with a low sprocket, so can goes faster real quick), had an accident 15 day after this video.

A truck crossed the road and he lost the bike's controll trying not to crash in front of the truck.

He was ejected off the bike and broke left femur in 4 pieces, all right hands fingers, arm, got 2 cerebral blood accident (i dont know how do you named this in english), 2 vertebral bones broked and a neck bone too. Got what we call "embolia", that is fat in your blod that found the brain and got soooo crazy.

The good news is that he is OK now and at home. He is walking and conscient, but all broked.


Shadscbr, mine is 97/97.

Well since this is drifting into what our hobbies are -I practice martial arts - specifically jiu-jitsu.

Ripley - you repaired fountain pens? I used to collect FPs-my only vintage pens though are two Parker 51s (aerometrics).

the rest of My collection is two Platinum pens, 1 Namiki Vanishing point, 2 Waterman Carenes and one Sheaffer Targa.

I still go to my jiu jitsu class when I can....but my favorite martial art is the one called...ching, ching...POW! I tend to use that more often than the proverbial choke hold! heheheheheeh.......

:cool:

My name is Barry. 32 years old. I work in a can milk plant. Been playing since nov. of '98. I had just quit a job that i'd been at for 5 years in nov. of '98 and the next week i bought my first guitar and took the winter off to learn how to play it.

For all you bikers out there - 302km/h on a 2002 ZX-9R 2 years ago. Had my first accident that year too. No broken bones but a badly bruised back and left arm. It was a 2000 ZX-6R. I fixed it after the accident but sold it last year. The ZX-9R was my friends bike. I'm planning to get another one next year. I drive alot safer now.

35 and I teach guitar and run a music academy. It's a shame my breakdancing career never worked out, but that's not to say that I didn't give it a good try.

Paul, the reason your breakin' career never worked out is because it's quite possible you weren't using the Ronco brand Breakin' Mat. It's been proven time and time again, even if you suck at breakin', the mat is what matters. :D

As of July 31, 2005, I'm 28 and I am a Co GM for an 8 screen theatre as well as a full time first year music major in the college here. I finish enrollment Wednesday in fact.

I'm going to have a VERY busy next 4 or 5 years. LOL

My job rocks though and I'm overpaid so I can't complain.

Oh, I've been playing since I was 5 or so, but started really learning in 7th grade. I had an old Kalamazoo student guitar but I got my first guitar that year. It was a Mako Jackson copy. My next guitar I paid for with my high school job at Homeland and it was a Jackson. It got stolen last November when my house got broken into and as of yet has not been found. :( I didn't play it much, but it was a pretty sentimental guitar. I hope to find it someday.

I'm 30 years old, my birthday is 1st January and I'm currently an Account Manager for a computer hardware distributor. I'm bored sick of the job and have started looking for a new one.

I might phone Strings N' Things to see if they're looking for an experienced salesman with a great knowledge of the product. :D
