you all would be jealous of the deal i got!!

So the other day my brother bought a project motorcycle that only has the frame, handle bars, wheels, and engine... nothing else. I went with him to go pick it up and the guy he was buying it from had a 2000 Ducati 999 in his garage all busted up. As my brother was paying him i asked him about the Ducati and he said he hasn't rode it in a while and he tried several times to get it started and he wasn't succesful. I walked up to it and scoped it out and its a pretty sexy bike. As i was looking at it the dude tapped on my shoulder and i turned around he handed me the title and says "its yours, put it on the trailer."
I got a FREE '00 DUCATI 999 how bad ass is that? i got it home, cleaned the airfilter, checked the oil, checked the spark plug, put some gas in it, swapped out the battery and if ****ing STARTED! i still can't believe it! the front is all busted up so i need a new headlight and all that(ferrings if thats what you call them). Gonna try to get my motorcycle license this week and make some money to make my baby look clean! Also its time to finally buy a bluetooth a2dp headset so i can listen to music and talk to people while riding this BEAST! So if you see a black flash, thats me flying by you on the highway!! and yes, those will be my guts all over the street.
What you guys think? Yall jealous or what??? hahaha
i'm actually considering trading it in for a 600rr or r6 because its WAY too powerful for me.
also i had the vin# ran through a friend at the DPS (or DMV in other states) and the title came out clear with no previous wrecks on record and its legit (not stolen)... so i basicly just got an $8,000 present!

Uhh, a running 2000 Ducati 999, FOR FREE ???
Your title is completly true, my jealousy can't be described with words
This is THE BEST street-racer (in my opinion, I don't like hayabusa) ever..
But it's not for beginners, please be carefull, it's a beast, it Will chew you up and spit you out if you're not carefull.
Trading it in for a lighter bike is recomended, but not cool B)
Anyhow, have fun you lucky [email protected]

Yah this thing is really strong. I used to ride dirtbikes during highschool (was sponsored by red bull and a local motorsport company) but street bikes are something else! theres a bunch of **** i need to do to it; brakes, wheels, new chain and sprockets, fuel lines, and the front fairing. Its been raining here for the past 3 days so haven't enjoyed it yet.
I think i will trade it in because as i said in my first post, its a monster and i will definately kill myself on this thing.

what doesnt kill you can only make you stronger, or paralyzed

Did you ask....

Perhaps you need to ask the guy that gave it to you for free, how he got the front all busted.......correct me if I am wrong, he dumped his demons on you...
Have you told your mum yet ?
If I were you, I would be VERY careful

Dont trade a Ducati for a rice-rocket... are you insane???
If you think a Ducati is too powerful for you.. you obviously never riden much or know very much about bikes... any bike can kill you if you chose to ride like a moron... a bike being too powerful is unheard of unless you are taking about a Busa or turbo-charged bikes..
Take your $8000 gift and enjoy it.. dont ever trade that in for a Jap bike. Would you trade a BMW for a Honda?
Congrats on your find though.. you are one very lucky guy!

Don't get caught up in the Jap vs. Itl battle, just look at Moto-GP and World Superbike and see who has been playing catchup with who, for the last 4yrs +
Trade it for the Gixxer or the Honda CBR600, you'l be better off. Cheaper in the pocket to fix and maintain. Besides if you are not use to twin torque, it can be habit forming ..

Stupid f'ing theives! ( I FOUND MY SCOOTER!!! WOO HOO!)

Well I awoke this morning to find my new Scooter was stolen. It had a front wheel lock and a the back tire was locked. What the hell??? So can anyone feel my pain?

And I thought such bastards are only in Slovakia.
Sorry to hear that guys.

im glad such deliquent behavior is not seen here in the dc
hahahha SIKE

Yea your lucky if you don't get shot or killed by a senator there!

if pro is the opposite of con, is congress the opposite of progress?

sorry man that sucks but i feel your pain
I live in Philadelphia...
If that wasn't enough to already make you understand I'll elaborate
-Car broken into 3 times took head unit all my cds and all my change plus cost of windows over 500 bucks (I leave my car completely empty now not even trash)
-House robbed 2 weeks after I moved here, took my 42" LCD, my xbox360, my laptop and monitor...how the hell hey carried all that out with no one seeing or reporting anything is beyond me.
but i learned my lesson, I have better car insurance and renters insurance now so I'm good...

Its really painful....what about the insurance???

Damn dude, that is the one thing I am worrying about. I think they were casing the neighborhood. I live in a house behind another house, my little house could be confused for a storage area (it however does look like a mini house). Anyways my neighbor ( the one in front of me) has been on vacation for a week or two so it looks like no one is home. I hope they don't try to break in to my place at least not while I am there.

Lol new famous quote. Did you make that yourself You should make a thread for all your quotes lol.

I feel your pain bud but, I have a somewhat contraversial view .... read on and follow me.
About 8 years ago I had a BRAND SPANKING new YZF-R6 - about 6 n 'alf grands worth of 600cc supersports bike parked outside my house. Along came a bunch of kids (16/17 year olds) who started wheeling it off down the road without my knowledge. Anyway, they were chased off by a neighbour. You can imagine my anger and rage. The police came over and said they could do nothing even though they knew who had tried it - hence, they told us there ages. The copper said to me:
"I wish they'd stolen your bike"
"Why?"
"They are only 16/17 years old and with a bike like that, we'd be one less bike thief in the world"
Ya know what, I *almost* agreed with him - except it would of been MY bike.
The law is there to protect yourself as well as others. People aged 16/17 do not have the maturity to handle a bike like that ..... and it was proved ..... read on ....
Walking home from the pub a few nights later a fast road round the corner was closed. Blow me, someones smashed up a Fireblade (at the time, 900cc superbike). The wreckage of the bike was there, a bent lamp post and a couple of coppers. Turns out the rider had died.
That week in my local newspaper:
"On XXXday night, a 16 year old kid dies on xxx road riding his own moped"
Yeap this was the incident that closed the road. It clearly WASN'T a moped, it clearly WASN'T HIS bike (he wasn't old enough) and why the f*&K did the paper lie about it? Oh, I also found out a few days later that it was one of the kids that tried to steal my bike.
Contraversial bit coming up:
Darwin ruled over the rider and judged him inelligable to breed, removing him from the gene pool. Ever since then i've been a big fan of Darwin, specialy when it comes to car/bike thieves - even now, I can feel my blood boiling, face going red.... hope these thieves all get whats coming to them, painfully, just not taking out innocent by-standers in the process.

:O ouch. I'm only 15 and I was thinking of getting a suzuki gsx 600 next year when I get my license. It's not that hard to control. It's just that people are too stupid and they HAVE to show off somehow and lose control and crash...smart.

Even though a GSX-F (i'm assuming you don't mean GSX-R) is old, its still very fast for a new passer. Not sure what country your from but when I passed my test a GSX-F 600, for that matter any 600, you need needed to be 21 years old here in the uk. Thats for a reason and a very good one.
If you think its not that hard to control and treat it with that candid attitude then, you will be in hospital... if your lucky.
Not trying to be rude, just don't think you really understand how dangerous they are.

A Penny for a Cup of Rice

A Penny for a Cup of Rice
​
Me and my wife went to wet market this morning to buy something for tonight's dinner. After we bought everything I saw this "very" old woman crying and begging for help outside the market. She said "Maawa na kayo sa matanda, palimos po, hindi pa ako kumakain!" ("Please take pitty on this old woman, I am begging you, I haven't eaten anything yet!"). I got teary eyed seeing this old woman (thingking she's my grandama) begging for a penny so she can buy something to eat. I told my wife to buy some food so we can give it to the old woman. We did and I handed it to this old lady. I saw happiness in her eyes when I handed her a box of Dunkin Donuts, 1 big cup of Orange juice and 2 orders of rice (2 cups of cooked rice) with 1 order of viand (adobong baboy...Filipino pork dish). We went home with happiness in our heart. I hope our goverment will be more keen in helping this kind of people.

I acclaim you for this act of kindness. Just pitiful to see how so many places waste food when it can be given away to the needy. If you return something to McDonalds or any other restraunt because it doesn't "satisfty" your needs, they don't even think twice about what to do with the food; they simply open that trash can and say good bye.

Thank you. It breaks my heart seeing this kind of people, specially old ones which reminds me my loving Grandpa and Grandma...By the way, I did not post this just to let the world know that I helped somebody, I did this just to send out a message to everyone to help the one who is in need . And also, I took that picture secretly using a camera phone. I stood beside the old lady and discreetly took a picture of her.
You should see this video. Just the same with McDo, most of the restaurants here do the same thing.

its sad how some countrys governments or who ever is in power how they let this sort of thing happen in this day and age. and whats a penny to most of use its pocket change that you probably but in a tin because you dont want your pockets full of crap. but the big question is what could we do to help this sort of thing ? i bet if you gave her a job she would be one of the hardest workers there.
adam

honestly, indonesian beggar are worst than that,.
almost in every trafic light, we will always see one or two, very old beggar,.
Goverment, is a goverment, we cant tell something to them,.
but, i think we could do a better with our heart,.
We could give money or something that make them survive, just like what red_hanks did,.

Stuck in the past *facepalm*

So this friend of mine, 17 year old girl, uses a keypad based Sony dumbphone with a broken call speaker (so she has to use full speaker to make calls) refuse to buy a new phone cause all the stores around here only sell Android/WM/iOS devices, and she hates touch screens, she's willing to spend up to 200 dollars on ebay to get a new phone of the same damn model from 2006, and states that "All smartphones are only good for, is Angry Birds"
I just find the arrogance frustrating and needed to get out some air, hehe

She has her preferences and you have your preferences, neither are wrong.
Let people enjoy what they enjoy

........Death before dishonor........

Tbh i somewhat envy her: my passion for smartphones has probably made me waste a little part of my precious brain cells and for sure a great amount of time. God, i had to use a Nokia N70 for about 15 days while i was waiting for my GS2 and my Desire was already sold, and i cannot express with words the peace of mind i felt for a few days: at the beginning it was like living in hell, but after a while i left most of my compulsive phone habits (checking this and that every now and then) and i experienced a few days of true peace of mind. Ofc after a while you get bored, but man you should try that feeling at least once in your life before you throw some poor naive girl in the middle of this crazy world. Smartphones can become insane time vampires for some people, and that isn't always a good thing

let me see man

Give her a new phone for christmas. You ARE Justin Bieber's norwegian brother aren't you?

How young is too young for a cellphone?

My son is one, (20 months exact) and he is the proud owner of a Nokia Lumia 800 (cyan) It doesn't have talk or text, and only has a minimal data plan for the sake of security in case he wanders off. It functions to me as a security measure, but he can use the phone. He plays some games, reads the nokia-enabled sesame street books, listens to music (He loves Micheal Buble), and takes pictures. He loves his phone, and loves playing some games over WiFi with me but some feel he's too young for one and today I was even insulted for giving him a cellphone. What are your thoughts? How young is too young for a cellphone?

What? 20mths?
I would have said 8yrs old minimum.
I find it incredible a child that young hasn't destroyed the device.
Must be a smart kid if he can not only look after the phone but also competently operate it.
Ultimately it's down to you to decide whether it's fine for him.
Thinking about it more, I guess it's not worlds apart from any other children's toy.

to be honest i think your reasons are good but not for a kid that age. pre teen sounds good to me for owning a phone

safe age to hand cellphone is i think 10

The lumia 800 is made of polycarbonate and gorilla glass. It's a tough device to break. Months ago, I even posted a thread because he tossed it off of a second story balcony and it was unscathed. Windows Phone is made to be intuitive and act as an extension of oneself, there are numerous videos of small children using it, it's not like other OSes, it's all about ease of use.

My concern is radiation. I don't know if it is a valid concern. If radiation isn't a health risk and your kid doesn't break the phone or lose it I suppose as early as possible is the right answer. I like the security idea. Frankly there needs to be some kind of tracking device you can put into your kids cloths so that you can constantly track there whereabouts. If I'm going to pick up a something I bought on Craigslist or go out with some new girl I just met I usually zip and email or text to someone I know letting them know what I'm up to in case I disappear. I like the apps that let people track your location. I just feel my current GF would abuse it.

its a nokie. those things never break. i can use one as a hammer and it will still work

Funny part is they just posted a video of the lumia 900 being used as a hammer.
The device isn't used as a cellphone, it's a tracking device, movie device, gaming device, music device, and general entertainment device, basically a gameboy on steroids.

Think about one thing. When you were 20 months old, or even 20 years old, di your parents have to have a GPS strapped to you? No, 20 years ago everyone survived somehow without cellphones. I think 16 is the right age to give a cellphone to your kid.

Dude my kid is 24 months and he has one too! Its ok!!!!!!!!! Its rly not about what anyone else thinks its how you feel about it

My daughter got her Epic 4g on her 10th birthday last year. I asked her if she wanted my Epic 4g Touch once I get the Evo Lte and she said nope...
I think it all depends on the kid and your level of being able to block, restrict, and monitor the usage. But that is just my opinion...

My youngest brother (5 years old) has mild autism. He likes to socialize, his eye contact is OK and he shows signs of intelligence but he doesn't talk, very hyperactive and repititive movement of his hands scares me. He knows how to use android phones so I'm about to buy the childpad or Kindle Fire to use it as a learning device. Is it OK or not?

Wow, less than 2 and already has a phone? That's very young, I would think 12 years and it wouldn't be anything special.

Wow . I got my first phone at 17 lol.

Soooo...give a baby a phone, its cute that they can navigate it. Precious.
Give an adult a phone?
They crash cars, text while driving, riding bikes, and walking, lose social skills, fall into fountains, inadvertently encounter bears, and actually cause cities to install soft bumpers on light posts simply to prevent injury from some asshole who just can wait until he/she can stop for a sec and type. When you hit the pole, just LOL. There are smartphone users and then there are smart phone users.
For a 20 month old, yeah, it's doing the trick. Generous data plan. Pretty cyan phone. Gorilla glass too? That kid is set. The poor thing.
Think about all the adults who suddenly became retards the second they got their smartphone after never having one as a kid, and think of what a retard you're turning your kid into when you hand one to them at birth, when a trip to a playground or a library could really make a difference.

ha who needs librarys he has a smartphone now the playground is a diff story i try to take my lil boy somewhere everyday im off

This is a complicated question, one which is difficult to answer because I don't have kids.
But I do have friends with kids.
A buddy of mine has kind of a neat system with cell phones for his kids and it's one which I plan on emulating when I have my own someday.
He gave his kids their first cell when they started going to school. Locked texting, locked data. It is only for emergency phone calls and he can use GPS to track the child. The phone is nothing special, an old flip phone.
Come middle school, the kid gets a smartphone, albeit a cheap one. Nothing big and grand like the Note, the Galaxy S II/III, the One X series etc. Probably something like my beat up old Evo 4g. Calls and text only, no data except at home on a wifi connection.
Come high school, the kids gets a real smartphone with full responsibilities.
I would also teach my kid how to properly use the phones to avoid malware stuff, etc etc.
Personally, I think 20 months is a little young for a phone but a phone defined as a device that makes phone calls and what your child has does NOT make phone calls, ergo it is not a phone (capable, yes. but it does not actually make calls anymore, so by our wonderful english language, it's no longer a phone). You essentially gave your kid a toy that can be tracked via GPS, so I don't really consider it giving your kid a phone. You can use that argument next time some uptight douchebag tries to tell you how to raise your child
My 2 cents

Yea a 20 month old does not need a phone. Unless ur a bad parent and can't keep an eye on him and need it to track him. Seriously he doesn't need one.
