RD400 eh? Be prepared to make full use of your tool kit! I've got a mate with an RG500 which he foolishly decided to tune up.. Got a hundred miles of screaming blue smoke out of it, then it went bang. And it's been off the road for the last 3 years as there's a dispute between him and the...

Quote: Originally posted by Deuce_Bigalow I've heard a lot of bad things about Yamaha Viragos. My bike mechanic told me you can put $1000 into them one month and the next month they run like crap again. The starters sound like they aren't even turning the motor. Anyone confirm this...

Can heartily recommend as much training as you can get, including advanced rider training... And as for entry level bikes, here in the UK most people go for something like a Honda CB500, a Kawasaki ER-5, a Suzuki Bandit 600 or Yamaha 600 Fazer.. Any of those will out accelerate just about any...

there's plenty out there - it just depends what you're looking for! Try http://www.visordown.com for UK based bike discussion... Varies from arguments about novel valve arrangement on the 1932 Hurley Pugh to virtual punch ups in the virtual bar. Or try http://www.bikenet.com. Any one of those...

Mustn't forget the Bill Laswell remixes of Miles Davis' "Bitches Brew" etc.. Called "Panthalassa" and absolutely grand.. If you're looking for serious bass playing don't forget Jonas Hellborg - in particular "Bold", "Bass" and "Axis" - modern but groovy.. And if you want very serious bass then...

Can highly recommend the whole of "Groove Family Cyco" by Infectious Grooves - they've gone where the Chillis seem to wussed out of... Great driving music, as is all of "Ritual De Los Habituos" by Janes Addiction, "If you want Blood" - AC/DC and for that flat out burn try "Suicidal for Life" by...

Saw the supporting Muse last year... I found them a little dull, and rather soporific. Specially as Muse rocked (can't beat a solo involving placing a Marshall angled cab on top of a guitar and surfing on it - hellish noise!)

I play bass guitar - got a Wal custom 2 with Marshall 300 watt 2x15" rig... (even my Celestion 66s don't get that low!) Used to play in a rock band, biggest crowd we played to was 2500, smallest was 2. Now play in a 17 piece jazz/funk/groove band who specialise in gigs on roofs, or other odd...

No duff tracks at all? In that case: Mothership Connection - Parliament Stretching Out - Bootsys Rubber Band Third Power - Material Though I must say, Origin of Symmetry by Muse is starting to grow on me quite heavily...

I think it's not a terribly big problem, if people only want to copy onto an inferior highly compressed format like MP3... Just get a decent AD and DA converter - allow your cd player to interpolate over the hiss, convert to analogue then back to digits and record away. I did a test, back in...

I'm not really a fan of "Best Of" albums - they're usually an excuse by record companies to shift more units... But saying that, 2 collections that spring to mind are: 1) "Manifestation" Axiom sampler (a best of the Axiom record label - basically Bill Laswell/Material and offshoots - absolute...

Mustn't forget my 2 all-time favourite movies! The Terminator - the original and best action movie... Everything else is a pale copy... The Tin Drum - German and subtitled, very powerful story about Nazi Germany; it's funny, unpleasant, deep, allegorical and hugely entertaining. Highly...

aiOtron! As far as I'm concerned, cables shouldn't hide anything, or even have a character of their own... They are after all only a means of getting a signal from cd to amp to phones or speakers. If things need to be hidden in a system, then that system is mismatched! Shouldn't the perfect...

Quote: Originally posted by Deuce_Bigalow www.cartrackers.net is a good spot for forums on cars. When our Ford Windstar blew up we went there and found that there were many other people pissed off at Ford because of the stupid as$ windstar. That thing eats more money than an audiophiles...

Oooh, big choice... It'd be either: Parliament - Mothership Connection OR AC/DC - If you want Blood (live, does this count?) eeni meeni myni mo... OK it's got to be the P-Funk (sorry Angus'n'theboyz)

Thought I'd say hi to y'all, from here in Swinging London... And help yourselves to a virtual beer courtesy of Timothy Taylors of Keighley, North Yorks I'm into LOUD music, MASSIVE bass and LARGE loudspeakers playing anything and everything from Led Zep to Miles Davis via Suicidal Tendencies...
