Probably a blue one, not sure...

Allthough I must admit the black one looks sexy too

Too bad the new models are all a bit too "modern" for me

cars are the future.

bikes are the past.

Thats a nice bike. I got to see the new Honda FCX concept car at an Auto expo. It was a mindblowing car.

Do u need special license for bikes in Belgium?

I'd like to get a driver license to drive a motocycle, but it's not possible yet =\

Why it's not possible, age?

It's quite complicated here in Belgium. I'll sum it up for you:

-When you had your drivers license (car) before 1989, you can ride a bike without any problems.

-When you had your drivers license (car) after 1989:

• Bike under 50 cc: Car license is ok
• Bike above 50 cc:
  • Get drivers license (bike)
    • If you're under 21: You have to ride 2 years on a bike limited to 35 kW (47 hp)
    • If you're over 21: everything is allowed

So I'm 20 now, best thing to do for me is just wait till im 21, get the license and start driving

 

[kylan05]

Oh ya, wow..that does sound complicated. I guess being 21 solves all the hassles, huh?

I'd love to drive bikes here in Dubai, but with the roads and the amazingly talented drivers here, I'd have to say my final bye's everyday before leaving home.

 

[kylan05]

Haha...remind me of Jakarta (at least when I left a few yrs back). Don't know now.

I rather stick with cars. Bikes are too scary for me.

Riding bikes is different. It gives u special feeling that u can’t get by driving the car. The breeze on your face, the air tickling your skin, & the blue sky is right above when u look up. It’s different. It’s special, really.

If u go down, the consequence is severe, yes. But u don’t go down on a bike for no reason. Unless –of course- if u can’t ride

But the point is, accidents on bikes can be avoided. Part of it depends on how & where u ride. The how is whether u ride in a group or by urself. If in a group, make sure u’re not going w/ those people who just want to show off, regardless they’re on the highway or local roads. The best place to ride a bike and really enjoying it is in the country / rural area. It’s better scenery & definitely less people & cars. Even if u like to do little stunts, country roads usually have curves that are fun & challenging.

Now about the stunts, don’t do it unless u know what u’re doing. & remember, know ur limit. Don’t push it. Think of it as if it’s worth the risks or not.

2 other important things to keep in mind are: 1. Always wear proper gears. A lot of times they are that thin line between life & death when accidents do happen. 2. This is important. Always keep in mind that other people don’t see you. That way you’ll look twice & always alert.

So be super duper careful, and u should be fine.

Hhmm…makes me wanna go for a ride. It’s nice out. Imagine an open road. Just me, the wind, and the sky.

Gotta love the new look too:

Lets bring in the cars now.. I'm in love with this one today... I cant believe there are no car lovers on FI.

The Dodge Challenger. Its coming out next year in Dubai for Dhs. 205000, which is US$ 50000. I need to marry a rich man's daughter or win a lottery or something.



Read the specs at the end of it.

Bikes & Cars

Dodge Challenger is fun to drive.
Right now I really like this car:

Mercedes McLaren. Saw it in The Game Plan as Joe Kingman's (The Rock) car, left quite an impression on me.

Btw, where is Enricos??

Check this out, Suki 2008 GSX-R750

and...GSX-R600

I like this one better, looks mean

 

[Suneet]

I dont like these supercars, its something you might never buy so no point wasting time. And more than the price or the brand the thing that matters the most is Horsepower..
