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 ..

Phone Taken Away And Im Pissed

So i was in school and i was caught texting due to the tilt being so damn big. I was in the cafeteria and a teacher came up behind me and snatched my phone. Good thing this is my first time getting caught because its 1 day without my phone and a parent has to come and pick it up. Second offense is 3 weeks and a parent comes and gets it and the third offense is they keep the phone until the end of the year. This sucks. I feel so lost without it.

ROFL.. i would of ****ign stabbed a ***** if she grabbed my phone.. u kno they probli took it and played around with it n ****

I pull the whole, I was writing down HW that a friend gave me, so that I wouldnt forget, its a PDA too ya know...
And thier like, Oh, get really red (Because ive taught all me friends to stare at the teacher meanacingly if any of us gets out phone taken away) and the PDAhone is returned.

sounds like crappy public schools of america. I'm glad my high school years are long and far behind me...this is one of the reasons college kicks hard core ass.

they have no right to take your phone for that long...only unless you signed something that allows them to hold it, but other then that, they cant do that...sue them mofos

The suckage...
My school sucks just as much if not more. They see a phone out, its instant detention, 3 demerits, and its taken away for 2 weeks! Oh and 18 demerits is an expulsion. Oh and for some reason, havin a PDA in class constitutes cheating becasue of what it can do!? and thats 6 extra demerits and 2 detentions! Yeah America needs to wake up and stop stereotyping people who actually care about not having a $1 piece of crap as their phone!!!

American Kids need to man up & stop being little girly sissies. "Oh, the big bad teacher took my phone, boohoo."
It called a rule. You know it's there. You chose to either follow it or not. If not, you know the consequences, so deal with it & quit whining.
The one thing I'll give you credit for??? Thank God you weren't dumb enough to post this waste of space in the Development thread.

wait they took it for 2 weeks? yo F that i would deff slice the principals throat while laughing.

No they only took it for today i get it tomorrow. If i get caught again its 3 weeks. It sucks major. These are the times i wish i had put a pw on my phone. I havent because i usually have it and its a hassle to type in a pw everytime i look at my phone so i didnt. But oh how i wish i have. It sucks.

I think that there should be a crossroads
I also attend a High School with such rules, i just dont understand why they get so damn anal about it.
In Orange County Pubilc Schools the stupid rule is as follows:
-If I See It, Or Hear It, (Even if it attached to your belt) I Take It.
Why cant they get that most high school students, and now middle schoolers have phones. One thing is to be texting in the middle of Algebra Class, but why cant i check my messages at lunch or passing time. Why cant i make that quick call between classes or at lunch. But yet, here is the irony, ADMINS AND TEACHERS USE THEM IN FRONT OF US ALL THE TIME!!!!!!, but yet if i carry my tilt in my belt pouch, and if they see the pouch, they get all stupid about it. They want us to hide it, (as if it was illegal to carry one??).

this should probably be moved to off topic or else where.

When i was in highschool they tried to implement a rule like that, where if you were caught with your phone they'd take it away and a parent had to come pick it up. BUT a group of kids and parents got together and went against it. The school ended up not enforcing the rule because of all the highschool shootings most of the 911 calls came from students with cell phones in the school. The students were also able to call 911 before the school did in several cases.
So they just implented a rule that you cant talk/text during class. if you were texting in the hallway or cafeteria a teacher would just tell you to put it away.
One dickhead teacher use to attempt to confiscate them... then his tires got slashed... he wasn't that much of a dickhead after that
Also speaking of cheating.. When the nokie 3650 first came out (one of the first camera BT phones) a couple of friends and I had them and one person would sit in the hallway next to the class i was in and during an exam i'd covertly snap a pic of the test page and bluetooth the pic to my "corespondent" then he'd look up the answers and text them back ... or i'd take pics of the text book and zoom and pan through the pic for answers

oh ya i didnt know where to post it. I just saw kaiser general and figured this was the spot. But i was in the cafeteria and had it under the table and its just so lame. Gimme a break.

that sucks, at my school of corse your not supposed to use your phone in class, but thats it. during passing period, lunch, before or after class, you can use it.
however one time my teacher saw my phone when i had the camera app up, she asked "is that a cell phone or camera?" i knew she wouldnt have cared if i said it was a phone, shed just tell me to put it away, but i said it was a camera and showed her. she thought it was, lol.

well im in southern cali as well and i have never had anything like that happen to me. i would give them the shaking im gonna kill you and everyone you know look and would get off with a warning. i just dont let people take things from me, be it a pda or pen or anything. however if you are as violent and selfish as me you should try and follow the rules if you know you will have this reaction. just my .02 cents.
oh and the guy crackin on americans, kinda rude bro, theres no need for that here. but then again this post should prob be moved but whatever. sorry to hear bout your tilt, just be sneaky next time or face the same result.

I can see high school hasn't changed a bit since I've been there. They teach you all about freedom yet it's more of a police state than North Korea. The only loophole was the TI graphing calculators. They were not necessary for our studies but they were the one device that could play games that wasn't banned. They tried to incorporate them into math class but the teachers could't use them.

HAHA yeah In my Jr. year of high school. We had a sub for my psychology class. I had my nintendo ds out and she made me put it away. So I did. Later 10 min b4 the bell when we were not doing anything I placed it ontop of my desk with all of my books and sat there. The teacher came over and placed her hand on my ds. I imedantly grabbed her hand and threw it off of my ds. I then threw my books and told her to fu** off.
LoL that was just for my ds.....

WTF???
"more of a police state than North Korea"? Yeah... I'm sure North Korean peasant families surviving on subsistence rations, a few hours of electricity a day, and being kept from seeking a better life elsewhere at the point of a gun are looking at you guys and saying "Well, at least we're not attending an American high school."

LoL, I just graduated from High School in a OCPS school, last year, they tried to pull the same thing my senior year because they saw my phone on my belt clip, and attempted to take it away, the loop hole in this one is they CANNOT take items over $150 in pricing because, its consider a liability if they loose it while its in their hands, but since they never inform students on that, and only inform students WHAT THEY CANT DO, and not the rights they have while attending school, its easy for them to get away with alot of it, just like (for OCPS schools anyway) a administrator cannot search your personal belongings, only your locker, only a administrator that is accompanied by law enforment. There is a website on the OCPS website somewhere that shows state statues for students rights, just sad a student has to find them to use them, but I guess its a fight to not get pushed around by school administrators that like to abuse their power more then others. So bottom line, if your in a OCPS school, you can fight it, you need to provide some proof though of the phone cost, and deny there attempt to take the phone, they will make you leave for the day for insubordination, but I think its better that then to leave a expensive phone in the hand of idiots as it is.

Friends,
Couldn't pass this up and not posting on this thread.
There are pro's and con's to using technology at all levels school, business, and socializing. The problem here is that the school's objective is to teach w/o interuptions of cell phones ringing, someone sending pictures of test questions (interesting though) and reducing theft issue's. Many students who break these rules ruin it for everyone else because of how it can help students that do have respect.
This also applies in the business world as well - If your in a meeting with the ceo, co-workers you want to be respectifull and not break the concentration of the meeting. Same with companies that are specific to what phones can be used and at what time. Most government companies will not allow pda's - camera's, voice recorders etc. Same principle - school/business.
Rule is a rule which has to be abided by. If abused then the school has the right to enforce their policy. We all have to live by rules and regulations.
The technology is cool and can be used to help students, but when the rules are not followed by everyone - this is the cause in effect.
I do think that having the phone in your locker, backpack - sound turned off is legitimate. During recess, lunch cool to use the phone.

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.

Give Props to klown_41143

Hi everyone...
Just when I think no one helps eachother anymore, I am given new faith in humanity... let me explain..
I have been "**** on" many times in my life... little faith in people anymore... I mean, we live in a world where you can actually have CRAP physically mailed to someone annonymously (www.poopsenders.com a real site)... So I am very cautious of people, and I guess live a sort of cynical life...
Recently my family and I upgraded out previous generation phoens to Touch Pro variants (mostly Fuze's).. we sll got out phones preowned.. and most in less thant desirable shape.. one battery onyl held a charge for 12 hours max (instead of 2.5 days like out other ones on the same rom)... scratches... mis-matches stylus, etc...
Then klown_41143 posted that he recently upgraded his phone, and would offer his old accessories for free to anyone who wanted them... I was skeptical at first.. I mean, why woudl this guy jsut give this stuff for free (2 OEM batteries, 2 styluses, a battery cover and a a300 adaptor.... I thought it was a joke, or he would want something in return... So I follow the directions in the post... and I get a responce from klown_41143 .. He would be happy to send it all to me, free of charge.. I am still thinking it is some sort or scam, but I thank him...
Then this monday he sends me a tracking number.. I am suprised... I check it out.. looks legit.. I wait.. .and this morning I got the package... exactly as described.. I was shocked... Here is this guy I never met... don't even recall if I ever posted a reply to one fo his psots before or vice versa... Not only does he send me stuff he could sell on here to make a few $$$, he pays extra to send it priority mail so I get it quickly, and even get a tracking number for me... I am judt realyl grateful... I know, some used items that he has little to no use for, "big deal".. but it was more than that for me...
So basically, even though this guy is a Jr. member here, if you see a post or something, please as a favor for me, go out of your way to help this guy... I would personalyl apprecitate it.... thanks for reading all my babble...

My step son accidently dropped his old 2nd generation iPod, it landed on the headphone jack and dislodged the jack. Of course no jack , no sound. This kid lives for his music, plays the guitar, loves garage band and thru working and saving for iTunes and downloading every CD I had , his Mother had and friends , had a iTunes library of over 3000 songs.
We all had a very tough financial year last year and didn't have lot of money , certainly not enough to buy the kids what they really wanted for Christmas. I felt so bad for my step son, that for Christmas, I wrapped my iPod Touch that I had gotten 2 years earlier when times were a lot better for us. He opened it for Christmas and was thrilled and so thankful even though it was 2 yrs old and all he got.
Last month he was at a party at his " friend's " house with other " friends ". Put his iPod down for a split second on a table while he talked to someone, turned around and it was gone. No one admitted taking it , it was just gone. He was just devastated, his prized possession.
My 8 year old in all his kindness gave him his shuffle until we can get him another music player.

I really wanted to. But he was such a good friend, he was like there for me when I was a freshman with no friends. I felt betrayed by his ethics. I don't know what to think about him.
But I did tell that what he did was immoral and that he should have tried to return it. I also told him that I disapproved.
But as for the original poster, I was going to say that I couldn't believe klown did that for a stranger, and I felt something fishy was going on... I mean he should make the receiver pay for shipping atleast right?.
Can klown please step up and talk? Is he rich or something?

Wow... im kinda touched. First lemme say I do not wanna drag up OLD posts, but I wasn't aware this was here. Lol
For the record, I am by no means rich, wealthy or loaded. Lmao. Extra parts were just that, extra. And for the small lot of stuff it would have cost more to ship than it was worth. Free stuff to good ppl, yhats how I was raised and try to do my best to stick with that tradition. As far as the priority shipping, everyone hates waiting on anything. Free or other wise.

This is sakai4eva, and I approve of this message.

Well played that man. The old philosophical debate is whether there are truly any altruistic deeds, but it's a step in the right direction at least. I always give away stuff i don't use, either to friends or charity shops. I've donated my entire book collection, designer clothes i've never worn, leftover PC hardware from upgrades etc. Right now i'm sitting on a Creative x-fi, OCZ Vertex and Nvidia 8800 GTX Ultra and an old copy of Win Vista. If i do the Sandybridge upgrade i've been considering i've basically got a spare 'puter. Decisions, decisions.
Anyway, it's nice to be nice!

Almost lost Nexus 7 to thief at Starbucks

Learn from my mistake and never leave your Nexus 7 unattended.
Left my Nexus 7 on my chair at Starbucks and stepped away for a few seconds to throw trash away. Noticed in my peripheral view someone sitting down in my chair then immediately get up to head towards the door and my Nexus 7 in its sleeve was missing. Spun him around before he could make it out the door and snatched my Nexus 7 back which was hidden under his jacket under his left arm. It's like 90 degrees outside so the jacket was obviously suspicious.

Wow, at least you got it back. What did the person say when you snatched it back? Lastly, curious to know what city area this was in -

Taking care of your own device is your responsibility. But accidents and assholes appear everywhere. So, its a nice idea to install a reliable anti-theft app too.

Definitely - there are many out there, but I would recommend this one : Cerberus Anti-Theft - excellent and fast response support from the developer too. Rooted device extra features, May also consider an application protection addon-app to protect it from being uninstalled.

If that was me, dude would have been getting a free ride to the hospital.

You shouldn't have worried, he would have seen the 1mm of screen lift and returned it.

I know things like this happen all the time, but when it happens to you it really kills your faith in people, eh...
I would have put that person through the door and waited for the police. I have Android Lost setup and I would love to see someone steal any of my devices.

You gotta tell us what the guy did. I would have taken him to the ground and called the police.

Regardless of where it happened you're going to run into thieves anywhere. Ironically, I always keep it with me except for that one time because the trash can was only steps/seconds away. Lesson learned that thieves eye your property and are quick when the opportunity arise. He said something to the effect that "he just sat down" (whatever) and was apologetic but probably not because he was sorry but because the incident attracted attention so there were eye witnesses and he was on camera so he probably realized he was better off scurrying off with tail between his leg rather than resist and wait for the police to show up. Get the feeling he's a seasoned Starbucks property snagger so he'll probably be back another day to target others. Thanks for the tips on the post-theft apps. Fortunately, I had pattern screen lock enabled to protect personal info/data and prevent unauthorized Google Play purchases.

If someone comes to your table asking for directions then puts a big map down on the table, they're after your phone, or your tablet, or whatever else is under the map. I've seen this scam worked in Starbucks.

I hope you made a scene and made him very uncomfortable so he doesn't come back to the same Starbucks anytime soon. The Starbucks I frequent has the same regulars, we all visit at roughly the same hours, work from Starbucks, and we all look out for each other. What a scumbag, he knew what he was doing.

Don't leave your anything unattended.
Life lesson learned.

This is a good reason why it is always a good idea to install an anti theft app or some form of mechanism.
Makes me lose faith in humanity when I hear these stories.

This is why I'm always skeptical of people in general when I'm out in public. Being naive only gets you in odd positions.

Obviously we should all be hostile to each other because of the few.
I'll be a less paranoid and more outgoing person and risk losing those $$$. No one ever died losing 200$ or 1000$.

Dude you gotta be more careful. The Nexus 7 is so small you can just stick it in your pocket. That is what I did last night when I was at the movie theater watching the 2012 DCI Drumcorps show. It was almost 6 hours long so when I went to the bathroom I took my Nexus with me. Heck you could even tuck it under your arm if you had it in a case.
At least now you will be triple careful .... until the next time that is.
I have a friend who works at a local middle school here in Northern VA and the school tells all of the parents, "do not have your kid bring cellphone, games, tablets to school or if you do lock them up in your locker." They are routinely stolen and the parents come in complaining.

I bet he thought it was an iPad. Because the current Apple v Samsung trial has shown me stupid people think everything is an iPad.

Funny story, when I first got my SGT7, i decided to walk down to a friend's house at night. I didn't pull the tab out of my pocket until I was almost to his house, but shortly after I pulled it out, some kid ran over to me pretending he had a gun. Turns out he thought I was someone else, we had our laughs, and he happened to also be heading to the same house as me

I would of held him in Starbucks waiting for police to arrive to arrest him. What he did was a crime. Took something that did not belong to him. He should be punished.

You were very diplomatic.
All I can say is if it was me, it would have been his unlucky day!
