I live in VA and I am 19...I hear that progressive has good rates...I would like to get a Honda CBR1000 which has about 999cc or a Honda 600FF...I really want the 1000 but im wondering a couple things...

-When it comes to the insurance and financing...is the cost for these two going to make a difference (11400 vs $9500)
-Is the 300cc's going to make that much difference in the handling since they are both about 50lbs diff in weight
-What is the big deal about the cc's in a beginning bike, meaning what are the typical beginning rider mistakes most people talk about
-Where can I find the MPG difference between the two?
-I know all about the gettin my license and stuff, and I intend to get all that done when I make my purchase...
-Is there anything else anyone would like to say...assume I know nothing besides what I previously just said about the license...


Thanks you guys and gals....

I was driving the other day when car in front of me stopped suddenly so as not to hit a dog (which he still hit), I tried to stop even locked up my brakes and went into the back of his car, I would like to know if this is still my fault as I am unsure because i believe his car being a little sports car can stop alot sooner than my wagon and what about the dog?, just would like to hear from other people.

i was hittin some great sound with the mtx's but since ive replaced them im afraid the place that installed all of this has wired my premier 12's for 4 ohm instead of 2 ohm. why did they do that? Also is there a way to get these mired back to 2 ohm, because they seemed alot more vivrant wired that way. Anyway whats the difference?

Hi there, I was talking to a car sales person, who told me about this thing (I forgot what its called), that jumps your car for you.. Basically it works like one of those carry car jumper, but it goes into the engine compartment, and when it notices the battery cant start the car it helps it out, so you never really have to worry about a dead battery

I have a Nissan Quest 99 SE with almost 170,000 miles on it. It has given me some headaches:
After I drove a little while, the Check Engine light would flash and, would usually stay on, occasionally off when it stopped. Using an AutoScanner it showed Code “P0306 Cylinder 6 Misfire Detected”. No more other code.
Taking the suggestion of my friend who works as a mechanic at a Toyota dealer, I swap-tested the plug wire to the #6 cylinder, replaced spark plugs (E3 E3.56 spark plugs. I suppose it should be better quality because it has longer warranty), replaced distributor cap and rotor. After finished this, when the engine started, idle was rather rough with the engine shaking quite a bit, and after driving it a little while, the MIL flashed again, but this time the Code is “P0325 Knock Sensor 1 Circuit Malfunction Bank 1 or 1 Sensor”, the Code “P0306 Cylinder 6 Misfire Detected” did not show up again.
I really don’t understand why it did not show up together with Cylinder 6 misfire at first place? Is it changing the spark plugs killed the Knock Sensor? Is it the wrong spark plugs? What else should I check or replace before I take it to the dealer? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Ok heres another... Does the strand count in a battery cable affect the amount of current and voltage it can supply? If you had a 8 gauge wire with 1000 strands and a 4 gauge with 900 which would be a better choice and why?

Hi. I heard from a variety of BMW fans and experts that BMW makes the worst speedometers possible. I find that to be true with my bmw also. For example, whenever, It shows 80mph, i don't feel like going 80, because, well, I see many semi trucks going even faster than me. It feels more like 70 mph. My uncle, who is a truck driver drove my BMW and he even told me that the speedometer isn't accurate. Now, many people said that BMW just can't build good speedometers, they are not good at that. Accoriding to a website BMW allows their vehicles with a speedometer margin of error of 5-7% plus 3 mph out of the factory. If you do the math, while the speedometer tells you you're traveling at 80 mph, you're actually going about 71-73 mph. And that is Acceptable by BMW. Its strange, cause even a Dodge Neon has way more accurate speedometers. I'm gonna test mine on the freeway with a stopwatch and watching those mile markers.

I lost bass from my sub then I noticed my 6x9's didn't seem to have enough bass either. This system used to thump. I switch identical amps and same results. 6x9's sound muffled in the low range and they don't sound as loud. you can see woofer vibrate and its hard as a rock to push by hand. but it has lost that deep bass. sounds more like I hear highs and voices more coming from it. wasn't doing that before. woofer is sealed tight with some sort of black sealant. can't take it apart unless I plan to replace. How do I test these speakers and sub to determine if they are blown!
