Does the idiots in silly cars ever stop?

Most bikes, r1, blades, gixer etc weigh 180kg or so and have around the same bhp. A 200kg bike would only need 104bhp to match 520bhp per tonne. I agree a bike struggles to get traction off the line but sorry the rider would have to be very poor if anything other than Andy F's impreza came knocking.

I disagree about traction off the line, I think it's quite the opposite. They get too much traction and just lift the front, so it's a case of having to feather on the power to get as much speed as possible without it just flipping over backwards 
The Kawasaki will need a swinging arm that's about 3 feet long or more in order to get a decent start - much like the drag bikes

I take it that 295 bhp is a lot in a bike . Lol . I have a mate who has a gsx/r 1100. What sort of bhp would that have .
Like I said before I am not in to bikes but I do take my hat off to them that ride them as you are open to all sorts of dangers . I.e car drivers not using there Mirrors .
I no I would kill myself on a bike . Think I will just stay with cars and lorries & coaches.
Some drivers just don't get how much power a lorry or a coach has . I have pulled away quicker then some cars.

The latest 1000 of theirs (don't think their current line up has an 1100?) is around 182bhp. But is reasonably 'portly' at around 203kg.
But that's still getting on for 900bhp/ton!!!
But I'm guessing your mate has a much older (less powerful) vintage, seeing as it's a legacy 1100 model?

Iirc the old gixer 11's were about 120-130bhp.
I remember reading Andy f's build thread on his power to weight and he compared his to that of a super bike.

Don't let him **** you off he is not liked anyway . He was banned one time before. It's just a shame you can just start up a new profile and away you go.
Just do what I do blank him . He may & do know is stuff but with the way he talks to other member who gives a sh*t. . I just delete the link when he come on there . Best way . Or just give back as good as he gives . Your not the only one that don't like him. If 95% of members don't like his big headed ways can only think of what his wife must really think of him lol.
Don't let it get to you there are many members on hear that are sound . He is just not one of them .

get over yourself ,its not a popularity contest. its a forum about Subaru's which as you say I know about and own one. if you haven't guessed by now I don't care what people think.
all I know is you should be embarrassed being an adult with the literacy of a primary school child.

Go to User Control Panel and select 'Edit Ignore List' on the left-hand side menu.
Oh - and then search and select the name.
The good thing is that whenever someone else quotes 'them' you see that.
In my experience you don't see even 5% of what they post, which goes to prove that 95+% of SN members don't value what that member says.

Dude, It's bad form to start encouraging others to ignore people.

So surely in the worst possible scenario the best way is to simply ignore that member's posts full stop ?
As I've done.
Which is far better than members deciding that the best possible way to ignore certain SN members is to ignore SN itself - isn't it?

So my spelling is bad so what . And yes you do know and I have said before you do know your stuff . I did not say you don't own a subaru . We all do or we would not be on hear . And no I am not embarrassed about my spelling as I am deslexic & it made things hard for me at school so that's why my spelling is so bad, and black on white is the worst for me. I even panic when going into a bank lol. But I try not to let that stop me talking to members. And your right it's not a popularity contest. But I do think with what you know about the subaru you could really help some members. Can you not try and think of others before make comments about them . In away its a form of bullying. You really could make or be a valuable member to this site . Just try mate . Please

Other people are quite capable of making their own decisions though
They don't need suggestion and guidance.
I don't ignore either of you, it's really not a problem for me as I don't have the personality clash
You both have interesting things to say even if not at the same time and on the same topic.

Some people hurl mud in order to bring others 'down' to their level.
We all have strengths and weaknesses and to be blunt those who prey on others' weaknesses I have no time for but in all honesty more than that, those who prey on others' weaknesses I use my strengths to er... (try to) educate.
Subarus (owners/drivers) don't race each other - we acknowledge fellow drivers.
It doesn't matter if you have a WRX, STi, Classic, Bug, Blob, Hawk or whatever - everyone waves, flashes etc.
Have you ever had a Scooby stick one finger, two fingers or shake the magic beans out of their window to you?
No.
So why should it be any different on here ???????????????????????????

Don mattuh how, as long as peeple understand what you meen u av sucseeded.
I've never had a problem understanding what you're written/said.
I bet you earn a living, and are far better at whatever it is you do than I would be, and indeed a lot of us.
Have a look at this: http://www.dyslexia.com/famous.htm
(Btw, take the 'gift' bit with a pinch of salt, although in fairness apparently dyslexics have natural talents - http://www.scientificamerican.com/ar...s-of-dyslexia/)
Fact is, we are all God's children and overall created equally.
The saying 'some are created more equal than others' comes about only because some judge others by their own standards, and use it to claim 'superiority'.
