The BWM RR is a very potent motorcycle and to BMW to not only finally produce a SBK but to dominate the liter bike class with all all the nice additions for around 13K!

BMW RR w/ Alpinestars RR leathers!! I like how they roll

Well, this one, I don't have any point. I just saw that article and remember bout this thread. Nothing more, nothing less.

My friend's uncle was selling his BMW K series (I think it was K120R or something like that), it was so sweet looking. Only thing that was stopping me from buying that bike was I don't have motorbike license.

I'm getting my Bike license in a couple of weeks. This weekend I'm going to take my "permit to carry" test. I think a nice Glock 9mm will suit me, not sure yet, haven't decided.

My mom took her license to carry test not to long ago, and now she has a female friendly 38 revolver. So, after she got her's...I asked her to pay for my test as a Christmas present....

Ok, back on topic...I asked if anyone on Forza3 had some Tsukuba lap times? If that track is on the game. I would ask if you had some Nurburg times, but it wouldn't be comparable to the Nurburg in GT5 cause Forza's version is longer than the real Nurburg....So I've heard anyway.

what calibers have you fired? i know this is way OT, but it seems like every time i go up in size, i like the bigger ones better! started with 9mm, then 357sig, .40, then .45. however, when it's time to get my CCW permit, i'll most likely end up with a glock 23 (.40), and then get an extra barrel in 357sig for it and have two guns for nearly the price of one.

I don't have a range of firearms I've pulled, but the ones I have fired have been 9mm, M-16 and M-60 Machine Gun (Ranger club/ROTC while I was in college). The M-60....damn is all I can say about that. The side feed and the links flying out while you hold the trigger....just ridiculous. I have some testing to do before deciding. Size is going to be a factor for sure, want something powerful but still fairly nimble and light in weight.


Question for Forza3 guys. In Online, are you allowed to Spectate an in progress race?

I've been playing GT5 at my BIL's house and I gotta say I absolutely hate how the cars handle and is there anyway to fix the suspension to where when you are I'n a drift it dosnt throw you the opposite way out of the drift because honestly that does not seem realistic at all, and very irritating

You've got to pay more attention to your weight transfer in GT5. Try to be smoother.


Can't break 1:06:xx at Tsukuba in bone my stock FT86. Damnit!!!

Also don't like the LFA's power delivery. I just got it and have only hit 1:03:xx at Tsukuba so far (also bone stock).

Sounds like you need to tune the car.

Yeah, I'm not feeling the power delivery in the LFA either, but if I remember correctly, I clocked a 55sec with it at Tsukuba bone stock.

tune your car or your driving style. a friend of mine has a VERY different driving style than me, and his cars plow like pigs half the time when i drive them, so i need to adjust my style to be closer to his, and then they drive okay.

It's really sensitive to tire temps stock I'm finding. Under 5k the motor just bogs, but the gearing is pretty tall (100km/h in 1st) so what the hell?

[BoostJunkie]

That was on a bone stock untuneable ft86 I just got the sway bars and full suspension so I'll have to tell you how it is now

Hm... not to be rude, but that happens in real life. When you try to drift and counter steer, but rear tires grips more than you expected and car start to go opposite way. It happens often in mid level drifters. Those time, just fix it like in real life, hit the side or let go the throttle.

As for FT86c in GT5, bone stock is really easy to drift (of course if you have full suspension & custom gear ratio will help 20x w drifting). I have more problem w gripping in high speed corner more than having problem drifting.

That's not bad of rec. My best lap was 1:05.xxx or something like that, so that's pretty good.

I bought LFA, but I didn't test run to see how it runs in Tsukuba bone stock. Now, it's too late to to check, so I've already engine modded... Maybe I need to buy another one & see my time.

No offence but the way it acts I'n the game is nothing like how it happens behind the wheel In a vehicle, I'm not trying to put it down, I being honest

I wouldn't say all the thing happens in GT5 gonna happen exactly same way in real life. At the same time, it can say the same thing Forza and all other racing game.

edit: Also did you take off all the assists? All those assist doesn't make the car drive realistic. take all of em off excepted ABS (keep it 1)

Be sure to turn off all the aids also. And there are instances in real drifting that a car will snap back in the opposite direction (or straighten itself out, so I disagree with you). I used my 350z for drifting until I sold it. My FT-86 will be that replacement.
