Thing is a bike like that would only appeal to some FZR400 type enthusiasts. You would pretty much need to setup some kinda of club racing based around it to get any kind of traction. I don't see insurance being much cheaper than a 600 if at all (FZR400 as is isn't much cheaper than a 600). As a...

Maybe I missed it in a post... what are you a bar-tender? DJ? What?

I feel bad for you. This is where you derive your self worth from. Its sad. Oh well.

Enbridge does not supply me with gas. But thanks for the moronic invitation.

steel doesn't fatigue crack nearly as bad aluminum either.

Doubtful, I am sure there is a standard of whats reasonable (ie during business hours). Keeping something "accessible at all times" is very different than you thinking you have some right to access it any time you like (ie 24/7). I can't stand how people think they are such bad ***** at their...

You guys aren't really that obtuse are you? The icon is a simplification. To even make the suggestion that you are would be as stupid as insisting that android arms and head are disconnected from his body because there are white line seperating them. It's just god damn stupid.

The same place I insure my ZX10 as a small sized cruiser.

real thing looks sexy as hell.

Specific heat of iron: .108 KCal/(KG C) 10,000KG needs 1080kcal/ degree celcius X4.184 Kcal/KJ = 4518KJ per degree celcius. Let's say the structure fails at 80% stength. This would require 800 degree F or 427 degrees C to achieve. assuming the beam was at an ambient temperature of 27 degrees...

Yes and no. There is some truth to what you are saying. But since not all of the steel would be exposed to the extreme temperatures and the column would be of considerable mass my guess is a minimum of 10T per column. All that massive amount of steel would absorb quite a bit of heat before it...

I am civil actually. I work on mech stuff at work at the moment. Installing turbines to be specific. However we are currently installing some pretty big steel columns and girders to carry the overhead crane that we will be using to install various turbine parts like stator frame, and windings...

Well if it were a direct impact you would probably bare what 2M length along the column on maybe 2 sides. This doesn't give you much surface area to absorb all the energy required for such a massive piece of steel to lose so much yield strength. I feel the window of time the collapse occured was...

Yes that thought occured to me Tim. However even in a crash you would only bare so much steel from the column. So only exposing a small window to heat the steel from. Add to the fact that jet fuel (basically diesel/kerosene) doesn't really burn really fast or release tons of joules at once...

They don't have to feel the heat stress. Once a few fail from heat, the rest can buckle and fail from overload. That being said, I still don't think jet fuel would have provided enough heat to warm columns of that size especially concrete encased columns for the most part. Just isn't realistic...

Haha i have smallish hands too but i find deads really improve grip strength. No straps or gloves for me. Pick the **** outta my calluses. So i used to think crossfit was gay, my mind isn't completely changed but i did one DL workout was pretty good. 60X 315 as fast as you can do them and then...

Re: Funny **** People Say/do Ya or when someone takes a saying literally...

Gloves are for chicks... real men rock calouses.

statefarm fell into that range still when I got quoted. The disparity in price between 400 and 600 isn't huge with SF either.

Nah the SM is cheaper. For some reason the FZR400 costs almost as much as 600 to insure these days. My quotes that I got for an FZR400 were all $1100-$1400. The quotes I got for a 2009 ZX6R/R6/GSXR/CBR were all $1400-$1500. With TD meloche monexx the FZR600 was cheaper than 400 at about...
