Republicans cannot whitewash the history of the great American auto industry comeback. The GOP wanted to let GM and Chrysler die, and force Americans to buy cars made in Korea or China. This President , along with most Americas, wanted to take a stand and save millions on American jobs and revive an iconic industry and fix the economy. Much to the consternation of Republicans like Mitt Romney that root for the economy to fail, it worked. This is a terrible case of petty whining by conservatives. They rooted against America! http://www.sunstateactivist.org
I wonder if that patheric creep has ever told the truth in his life…
In the case of Chrysler, Romney got his wish. The government bailed out of that particular investment long ago. All that remains is for the government to bail out of its GM investment.
the 'comeback' has been SOOO great that the American Taxpayer is still out $30B. give me a break! GM equity price needs to DOUBLE for this to have even been a break-even proposition. If the private markets really wouldn't provide funding to save these jokers (which NO ONE believes, yet Obama continues to spew out anyway), maybe there's a reason for that (i.e., the 'investments' will never be paid back)
Look, I was for it and am opposed to it, and vice-versa. I've been very clear on that.
Somehow the fact that taxpayers own the big loser-Old GM- is always forgotten. Those costs will continue to be swallowed by the taxpayer as a result of the rigged bankruptcy that bailed out the UAW
"If the private markets really wouldn't provide funding to save these jokers (which NO ONE believes, yet Obama continues to spew out anyway)"
Who is NO ONE? People who are allergic to facts?
The automakers in 2008 were facing immediate liquidation, according to the industry itself. There was a complete and total credit freeze (Remember? The glory days of the Bush economy?)
Still trying to take a cr4p on America to make the case for republicans and t-buggers?
Slime, republicans, especially Romney are slime…
It's time for republicans to bail out of Romney.
I was agin' it afore I was for it! Now I'm for it after I was agin' it! Or something like that.
Bain would have bought for pennies on the dollar, stripped the assets down to the carcass, and left the bones to rot. After taking tens if not hundreds of millions in "special dividend" profits, of course.
First bailout of Afghanistan before we burn 1 Koran too many.
Auto investments are fine, there are other priorities Mitti.
We really wonder how Romney made so much money considering how tone deaf and how big an emotional moron he is.
I love the idea of distributing the shares to the american public as long as it is done based on the total dollars of taxes paid. To hear the angst of the half the country that pays zero taxes would be eye opening. I of course would immediately sell my shares and have to pay capital gains tax.
I was for Detroit before I was against Detroit.
It's the government buying GM cars. It also helps that we crucified Toyota for "fualty floor mats". At the end of the day, GM should have gone through bankrupcy. If the UAW didn't want to play ball, then the other automakers could have bought the assets. Cars would still be made and the jobs would still be here. The fact of the matter is that there is just too much auto capacity. Clear winners both before and after the bailouts are Toyota, Porche, Daimler, Volkswagen and Hyndai. All of the other automakers will have to fight for the remaining couple of spots and the rest will eventually close shop. Unfortunately, truth hurts and not everyone is a winner.
Here's my take on last night's Mesa Arizona farce. Calculated Media Manipulation of Arizona Debate = Faux Victory for Romney (What I call "The Mesa Contrivance")
Romney would be our first Martian president.
Mitt Romney is a liar plain and simply.
701, you're forgetting game-show host — THAT is Mitt's true calling.
"Who Wants Mitt's Money?"
Did you see Chrysler using taxpayers money Obama gave them in an advertisement endorsing Obama for reelection?
Any comments on that?????
"Did you see Chrysler using taxpayers money Obama gave them in an advertisement endorsing Obama for reelection? Any comments on that?????"
Yes, Alexander, I have a comment. You're an idiot.
"I think Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin would be the perfect ticket. She can't answer basic questions, and he has two answers for every question." —Jay Leno
@ 11:29 :
Argumentum ad hominem! Is that the best you have?
Another question: do you believe the federal govt. has the right to tell a private company to give its products for free?
Please refer to the issues and not on my person, if you lack arguments then dont post!
What "products?" Basic health care?
Yes, exactly. NOTHING is free, always someone has to pay. If an insurance company is required by Obama to give something for "free", then the owners are required to give something of their property for free. Property is nothing but accumulated work. Obama is ordering some people (in this case can be millons of shareholders of the insurance companies) to give their property (that is, the product of their work) for free. In a free county with individual rights, neither the president nor anybody has the right to take the property of others for free. That happens in dictatorships.
Alexander wrote: "Did you see Chrysler using taxpayers money Obama gave them in an advertisement endorsing Obama for reelection? Any comments on that?????"
Speaking for myself, Alexander, I haven't seen Chrysler using taxpayer dollars for such a purpose. Indeed, Obama's name wasn't even mentioned in the Eastwood commercial, even though some think it's an Obama plug. Chrysler paid us back months ago, with the sole exception of $1.3 billion, which is stuck in the old Chrysler company that we know today as Old CarCo.
While the new Chrysler can't simply write a check for that $1.3 billion, there is a bright side. Unless the tax laws have suddenly changed, the new Chrysler has to pay federal taxes of its own, just like other businesses. As such, it's reasonable to conclude that money coming from Chrysler will be going into federal coffers, one way or another.
Obama wasnt mentioned but he appears, doesn´t he? What is the president doing in that advertisement?
Chrysler is now run by UAW, (Thank to BO and taxpayers money) and they know that if Obama is reelected unimaginable gifts from taxpayers money may come.
Alexander wrote: "Chrysler is now run by (the) UAW."
I should point out that Sergio Marchionne is the CEO of Chrysler, and is more than capable of dealing with the UAW.
One question, though: where exactly did Obama appear in the Eastwood commercial? I saw the whole commercial from beginning to end and I didn't see Obama anywhere.

In the last post I asked whether you preferred a rise to £60 per day or an additional daily prize. This was a little sneaky as, all along, I was planning to do both!
We've hit the 6% of UK Postcodes entered figure. Please note: This means that 6% of all of the UK's postcodes have been entered into the draw. All entered postcodes are entered 100% of the time. So, don't get the wrong end of the stick and quit
So first thing's first, the daily prize pot is now £60. The referral competition winners have been notified. Sorry if that was not you. However, so many of you told me that you wanted more chances to win so I've gone and created a new daily draw. The Stackpot is a new daily £10 draw which happens at 9am. The difference with the main draw (or "Jackpot" as I have chosen to now call it) is that missed claims stack rather than roll over. Today there are three £10 prizes in the stack. If none of today's winner claim there will be four £10 prizes tomorrow. Make sense?
Like the £10 Mini Draw it is first come first served for those who share a postcode. So, if are one of many entrants from your postcode, the closer to 9am you check the better. Of course, you are as many times as likely to get your postcode into the stack as there are people who share it (worst sentence ever? You get the gist hopefully). Also, you don't get your bonus added. I just didn't have time to do the necessary coding for that! Maybe in future…
I've not had much time to test it so please be patient and do report anything weird. Thanks! And good luck!

23rd Oct: It's time for the second TV Tropes Halloween Avatar Contest, theme: cute monsters! Details and voting here.
main index
Radiata Stories is a role-playing game developed by tri-Ace and published by Square Enix for the PlayStation 2. The game is notable for its large number of distinct NPCs, each of whom have their own lives, lifestyles, jobs, personalities, homes, dialogues, and schedules. It makes for a much more realistic experience than the standard RPG towns populated with eerily identical cookie cutter residents who say the same things ad inifinitum, though the game is limited by the hardware into making the characters repeat the same list of activities every day, with a few exceptions.Furthering the theme of realism, the main character, Jack Russell, can interact with most objects in the game, mostly by kicking them. Doing so to furniture and other inanimate objects, for example, will occasionally turn up items or money, while NPCs will fight Jack in a duel. This being Jack's primary method of interacting with everything and everyone he encounters would normally seem out of place, but it fits quite well with his personality.While there are easily over 150 distinct recruitable characters in the game, there are only three that are central to the plot: Jack Russell, a rude, cheerful teenager who plans on being a knight; Ridley Silverlake, a smart, proper, well-off young lady who wants nothing to do with him (at least at first); and Ganz Rothschild, a polite, genteel man, who is their superior in the Rose Cachon brigade. This doesn't last long.After one successful mission, what should be a simple Fetch Quest goes awry and Ridley suffers a debilitating injury to the point where she's bedridden. As a consequence for their failure to protect her, both Jack and Ganz are expelled from the knighthood because of her Overprotective Dad. From there, they both try to join Theater Vancoor, the warrior guild, but Ganz fails the test and ends up in the Void Community (the thief guild) instead. The game then allows the player to start exploring the environment a bit, and segues into the open-ended play promised on the box instead of a tedious paint by numbers RPG.As Jack and Ganz try to adjust to their new lives, a series of seemingly unrelated incidents begins to occur. Ridley begins experiencing strange headaches and speaking in a voice that is not her own. The dreaded disease Algandars, said to be the only thing capable of fully killing the immortal elves, makes a reappearance after being gone for centuries. Tensions between the humans and non-humans skyrocket as three particular individuals become prominent in the politics of Radiata: Zane, human-hating leader of the light elves; Lord Lucian, a mysterious courtesan of Radiata Castle who displays frightening Chessmaster capabilities; and Cross Ward, Ridley's Jerkass fianc�.Another aspect of the title is that it takes place in real time (albeit with the typical video game compression). While many games incorporate some method of this, Radiata Stories is one of the few where keeping track of the hour is crucial to gameplay, due to the fact that the majority of "free time" between missions provides only brief snatches where Jack is able to interact with other characters and the like before setting out once more. As a result, this is one of the few games where Level Grinding is difficult, if not impossible, to accomplish.There is a character page now. Character-based tropes should be directed there.As a last tidbit of info, Radiata Stories is also notable for its high content of humor despite having a pretty serious story.Not to be confused with Radiant Historia, a similarly-named game that inherited a large portion of Radiata's production team.
This game provides examples of the following:

So, I'll be the first to admit that I'm a little twisted.
I went to Planned Parenthood today for an appointment regarding my birth control. I've been using various forms of hormonal BC for about five years now. I started with oral pills and then switched to Implanon in 2010 when I was working overnight shifts and discovered just how bad I am at remembering to take pills. I was (very) sexually active at the time, with a guy I thought I was going to marry, so I did my research and settled on Implanon for my new BC. When I had mine inserted, it was done with a large bore needle under the skin on the inside of my left arm.
Well, after three years, the implant has to come out. It can be replaced if you want it to.
I had mine replaced today. The way that they remove it is by palpating the area to find the implant, marking the location, and then giving a shot of local anesthetic before making a tiny incision. They put a small amount of pressure on the other end of the implant to see if it'll come out on its own, or if they need to cut through scar tissue. The end of mine popped right out, which made the nurse practitioner happy. Since it was about an inch and a half long, she used forceps to pull it the rest of the way out. I had watched her remove it and was slightly amused at the way my skin pulled when it finally came out.
Since I was having another put in, she gave me some more Lidocaine and then put in the new one. It was Nexplanon, but it's identical to Implanon. The funny thing was that when she put it in, I looked at the thing she was using and the first thing that popped into my mind was a stapler or staple remover. Also, it was purple and white.
I absolutely love Implanon and have had no problems with it whatsoever. So now I'm set until 2016 for birth control, and it was an interesting procedure to watch.

Today on Woman-Stirred Radio, Merry Gangemi welcomes Amie Klempnauer, author of She Looks Just Like You: A memoir of (non-biological lesbian) motherhood, and author Joan Opyr, whose brand-new Shaken and Stirred has just been released by Bywater Press.
Up first at 4:15 is Amie Klempnauer Miller, a development consultant to the public media industry. Miller's work has appeared in Salon and in Brain, Child, and Greater Good, magazines.
There are thousands of books published about motherhood and parenting every year, but Miller's, She Looks Just Like You, takes us into the world of lesbian child-bearing and parenting. As the non-biological mother of her daughter, Miller explores the experience of motherhood from and through multiple prisms of lesbian and straight concepts of parenthood and family. The book is engaging, unlike so many pedantic books that grate at one's nerves or terrify the uninitiated, moving from personal experience to abstract notions of who we are as lesbians and mothers. Sometimes confident, anxious, expectant, and funny, the book is as delightful to read as it is important to the cultural memory of lesbian mother experience.

From Sean Cockerham in Juneau --
Eddie Burke, the former Anchorage talk radio host, is running for lieutenant governor.
Burke just sent out a statement saying he's entered the Republican primary, where he'll face Lt. Gov. Craig Campbell and Fairbanks Rep. Jay Ramras.
Burke has called a press conference in Anchorage tomorrow to talk about his candidacy.

It's clear that renowned developer Tetsuya Mizuguchi (famous for his trippy puzzle games like Rez and Lumines) had little to do with the actual gameplay and focused mainly on the plot. Unfortunately, the shoddy voice acting saps any enjoyment you could get out of the story, which seems like it could've been deep and engaging if you weren't constantly sighing at the poorly delivered dialogue. Co-developer Phantagram's (Kingdom Under Fire) one-dimensional game design trots out a mundane array of combination attacks to substitute for giving players anything to do besides press the attack buttons ad nauseum.
Sure, Ninety-Nine Nights looks hot, but there's simply nothing there... and you'll undoubtedly tire of its frustrating mediocrity within minutes. A real shame, considering we'd been promised a rich and poignant tapestry of epic adventure

Via: Zogby | News Archive | Tags: Tech, Technology, Survey, 2010, decade
I personally think that from my perspective technology has come quite far. Many things especially those in development are not seen or realized by the general public. I think that we have a large number of things that are on the cusp of entering the market. While I to thought we would be further than we are from some perspectives, I also realize the great advancements that have been made.
One of the things I think that also needs to be realized is that the public to a large degree does not realize the advancements. That means that seamlessly and in many ways unseen these advancements have taken place. So in general we don't even see the difference.
Put it this way from our perspectives or at least from the one from people who are hardware junkies ( lol; such as myself, and many here on the forum), when you upgrade or build a new computer or device how long does it seem faster? For me this is usually a very short amount of time. Then I become used to it, and even though I know it is faster and can do more than what I had it becomes my "Technical norm".
I also think that coming soon (very in some cases, as CES is this week), new things will hit the market and expand it as well. I think the main things we will see in the near future is an ever enhanced mobile capability in general. Netbooks did not have enough or do as much as fast as we wanted. Next week we go dual core in a hardware platform which weighs generally less than 4.5 lbs. This will also have enhanced graphic (thanks to both Intel and Nvidia) capabilities, enhanced CPU capabilities, and enhanced memory usage. These platforms will also operate entirely mobile for many hours
Then we go to the smartphone platform as mentioned it is basically a mini handheld computer as well. I also think we will see a good bit from the tablet platforms in the very near future. I see a netbook a cellular phone, and an E-reader with ever advancing capabilities here, all contained in an ultra mobile device. Basically where I am not overwhelmed by the advancements that have been made. I do appreciate their impact which from what I see in many ways very quickly becomes a norm nowadays without anyone noticing.
I generally agree, rapid but then again, I'm an optimist pretty much anyway. Here's to 2010 and toys and tech the new year will bring!
I too like the advances I've seen this year. I can't afford most of them, but I like them or they don't have the infrastructure to use them out here in the boonies.
One thing that really made me stand up and take notice was the latest batch of DX-11 GPU's from ATI. This is also tinged with disappointment because of their supply problems until recently. This supply issue has kept the prices of these parts artificially high and out of reach for me. It's disappointing at best.
I thought netbooks made some real strides this past year.
The next big breakthrough needs to come from battery development. Something that can power our cars for 500+ miles, and let us talk for 20+ hours on one charge.
Maybe not necessarily advancments in batteries. But it seems like there is a lot of missed potential on cars for regenerating the batteries.
I saw some tech that used magnets in a supper light weight winmill that created energy. Why not encorporate something like that into the front of the car? The car has to fight wind resistance anyway... why not use some of it as power?
Why not use a rim lined with said magnets and while it's spining it might as well be recharging the batteries too. There's plenty of time spent coasting that could certainly regenerate the batteries. Also encorporating more solar energy into the whole system.
I was even thinking of an idea of running alternators off the cars axels to generate power. I understand that they produce resistance and power is required to make the funciton. If they were by-passed during normal operations and engaged during braking it could be worth while.
Good ideas! Solar, wind in conjunction with retaining the energy lost in brakes would be most efficient.
If we can constantly charge the batteries, the need for a larger battery would be diminished.
NVIDIA Fermi, chearper SSDs, Intel Arrandale, Intel Gulftown, ATI Mobile 5000 graphics on the plate for 2010. Couldn't be more excited!

Alex, Dylan, and I were on our way back from Weehawken when we decided to avoid the traffic on Route 80 by cutting through Boonton. I was feeling kinda hungry and saw that we were passing Juniors. Juniors is probably one of my more beloved pizza places to stop at. They're open until 3am (delivery too) and they put up with the late-night drunken shenanigans my friends and I have put them through for years. Plus they have awesome gyros (I believe it's Egyptian owned) and froyo.
However, we came her for the pizza. They don't have the craziest of slice choices. Just your typical plain, pepperoni, buffalo chicken/bbq chicken, and a few others. The bright pink look of the BBQ chicken was appealing to me so I got a slice and also one plain. We took a seat and waited for it and when it came out it looked like perfection. The plain slice I got was huge. The cheese didn't fall right off and there was just the right amount of sauce. I spilled garlic powder on it by accident (rookie mistake) but it did not hinder the taste of the slice. The crust was baked to greatness.
The BBQ slice also did not fail to impress me. The chicken was cooked just right. The sauce they used had to be unique. Even after being re-heated it still had flavor. Also they opted for the less messy method of making BBQ/Buffalo chicken pies by NOT putting the sauce on last on top of the pizza but rather marinating the chicken in the sauces before adding them to the slice. This is an under appreciated technique and suited them well.
I really have little to no complaints with this place.
Rating: 4.5/5

7 Advertising Mascot Movies We'd Like To See
Here's where they got it wrong: Instead of forcing a "Look Who's Talking" rip-off down our collective throats, Tinseltown should have looked to other (i.e., better) advertising mascots for inspiration.
Here are seven movies based on famous commercials that we'd actually like to see.
(All posters below designed by Brendan McGinley)
"The Noid"
The beloved Domino's Pizza mascot comes to the big screen at last!
When the nation's pizzas are threatened by nefarious super-prankster The Noid (played by Tracy Morgan), it's up to one diligent Domino's employee (Jesse Eisenberg) and his impossibly hot girlfriend (Olivia Wilde) to stop the costumed imp before it's too late.
It's the movie that guarantees at least 30 minutes of laughs ... or your ticket is free!
"National Treasure: Where's the Beef?"
It's a race around the world as Nicolas Cage helps former Wendy's spokeswoman Clara Peller (deliciously brought back to life by the special effects wizards behind "Avatar") finally uncover the location of the beef.
Will they find a patty large enough to satisfy Peller's ravenous hunger before it's too late? And what secrets lie in Ronald Reagan's tomb?
Co-starring Rich Little as the voice of robot Reagan!
"Exorbitant Charges"
Two cops, one city terrorized by overages and dead spots.
From the guy who brought you "Date Night" and "Night at the Museum: Battle for the Smithsonian" comes the one action-comedy you won't need to silence your cell phone for.
"Exorbitant Charges" stars both Luke Wilson (as AT&T spokesman Luke Wilson) and the Verizon "Can You Hear Me Now?" guy.
"Six Flags Over da Streets"
From the studio that brought you "Dangerous Minds" and "Freedom Writers" comes a tale of believing in yourself when the chips are down.
They were a street-wise group of inner-city teens. He was a mysterious, creepy old guy who taught them the power of dance. Together, their love for roller coasters, overpriced funnel cakes, and cheesy '90s dance music would change the world. This winter, more flags means more hugs.
The soundtrack is entirely made up of the Vengaboys' song "We Like to Party" (aka "The Six Flags Theme") as remixed by the Black Eyed Peas, Ke$ha, 3Oh!3, All-American Rejects and other terrible bands.
"Burger Satyricon"
Sex, violence and an ungodly amount of Whopper Jrs. all factor into this bizarre, Fellini-esque tale of the rise and fall of the Burger King "King."
How did he get to be the King? Why is he so irresistible to women? How can he appear in random places offering strangers a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit like it's no big thing?
This summer, audiences will find out why it's good to be the King -- if they can even figure out what's going on.
It's old-school thrills when the Geico money stack stars in the Hitchcockian thriller "Paranoia."
Who's watching you? A pile of cash with googly eyes. Bet you didn't see that coming!
Directed by whoever made "Saw VI."
"The Outlast"
The director of "The Road" returns to post-apocalyptic horror with this tale of a toy bunny that keeps "going and going and going" -- even after a nuclear holocaust turns the population into roving, cannibalistic gangs.
It's nearly three hours of the Energizer Bunny banging his drum through beautifully shot barren wastelands. Just give this one the Best Picture Oscar now, folks.
This Christmas, Energizer outlasts the competition ... until the end of time.

Who would even think about going to a movie staring those irritating babies on those ad on CNBC. When that ad comes on I switch over to FOX News for a while. That ad REALLY sux!
Friday 07 May
By Madeline
Well, THERE lies your problem. Watching CNBC has made you a little high strung. Keep your TV on Fox ...Watching liberals try and justify how they think would make anyone crazy! If not, there are medications that should take the edge off.
Saturday 08 May
By Anna
I agree with Madeline, and I personally think that the etrade commercials with the babies are the best ones.
But not for a movie, no. that would be... well... horrible.
Anyways, I was thinking, arent these just parodies or play-offs of good, decent movies? I think that whoever came up with this idea should realize what a stupid idea this is... If not silly.
National Treasure is one of my favorite movies, and I personally thhink these 'mini-movies' are one of the silliest (dont get me wrong; i live silly. Just not this kind) things ever created. I mean, most people already casnnot stand commercials. And making them into movies? Oh, geez, thats just horrible!!
Thats all, folks!

Don't believe a word of it. Some of my favorite commercials, I'll even rewind to watch it again!

I wouldn't watch ant of the listed movies above. I enjoyed the babies commercial, it is funny and clean!!!!! Not stupid like the B.K. one or the lame others.
Monday 03 May
By Jeff
The writer must be on the edge of retarded. Why would anyone who is in their right mind want to see any of the movies you depicted? There are less grains of sand in the top of my hour glass than in the bottom, so AOL don't waste our time posting this garbage.

He's making fun of Hollywood's lack of creativity. It's a joke you humorless moron.

Those Etrade ads are pure genius, but I think I'll skip the movie.

Um the etrade commercials came from a movie. No one remembers "look who's talking". im sorry that i do.
Wednesday 05 May
By Robert Wayne
Anybody stupid enough to actually want to pay to watch dumb commercials probably doesn't have money to go to a movie anyway. It's bad enough that for every hour of television, we have to put up with about 20 minutes of ads. Anybody who would pay to watch a commercial is an imbecile.
Thursday 06 May

i agree with Robert Wayne

Agree. Look at the morons at ABC (?) that thought the stupid cavemen from GEICO commercials could be a series.
Saturday 08 May
By steve
How delightful. Bad enough commercials have taken over TV, even cable, which was supposed to be commercial-free, since we pay for it. You cant even watch your favorite program without some stupid promo ad or animated logo dancing across the screen. The BK King needs a serious beat-down; he's just plain scary. Geico retired the gekko then tries to inspire us with a non-animated stack of money. Real intelligent [not]. The cavemen arent funny because the writing for them sucks. Remember Demolition Man? In that society everybody listened to commercial jingles and thought they were hit music. It is long past time for the FCC referees to step in and put a stop to all this. Whatever happened to the Broadcasters Code of Ethics?

Yamaha's designers had one problem with superceding its 2006-07 R6, and that was how to improve a motorcycle that was very good in the first place. But improve it they have with clever attention to details borne from its World Supersport racing program. A designer's touch here and the same effort there, has led to the Yamaha R6 being the definitive supersport package – on the track, that is. How its screaming performance will fare on UK roads against the mid-range king Honda CBR600RR remains to be seen.
Watch the Yamaha R6 take on Honda's CBR600RR, Triumph's Daytona 675, Suzuki's new GSX-R600 K8 and Kawasaki's ZX-6R.
Watch the Yamaha R6 take on the Suzuki GSX650F
Watch the track launch of the Yamaha R6 at the Sugo circuit, Japan
Top end performance was the Yamaha R6's strong point and still is. But with updated ECU and fuel injection, the highest ever compression seen on a Yamaha and variable height inlet trumpets (as used on this year's R1), the R6's midrange drive has been propped up. Not that there was a reliability issue with the R6, but Yamaha has revised various internals (camchain tensioner, oil-ways on the rods etc) to deal with the high rpm live it leads.
Biggest area of improvement with the Yamaha R6 happens here. The frame has been stiffened around the headstock to reduce braking effect through the frame and then reduced the frame's overall stiffness for more agility. This is topped off with a heavier braced swingarm. The motorcycle is more stable but retains its quick steering ability. The suspension has been revised internally and is arguably the best mass-produced stuff on any current production bike. The bars are 5mm lower and angled slightly different, but it's still the same motorcycle to ride; only better when riding faster.
As a pared to the bone supersports the Yamaha R6 is not loaded with niceties such as heated grips and panniers. The only equipment to shout about here is the fly-by-wire-throttle and variable inlet tracts. Yamaha crowed about the new magnesium alloy subframe (lighter by 450g) but the motorcycle's overall weight hasn't dropped due to the mechanicals operating the inlet tracts. But we love the new slimline tailpiece, reshaped fairing and colour schemes.
No qualms with the previous Yamaha R6 – apart from the lying tachometer (18,000rpm was the claimed figure, only 15,800rpm in reality) – so MCN doesn't envisage any problems with this latest version. What is slightly annoying is the original 18lt tank size has dropped 0.7lt to 17.3lts.
If your view of a race-replica supersports 600 is a motorcycle that delivers high rpm performance, razor sharp handling and is finished off with looks straight from the race track, then the Yamaha R6 is yours. In answer to the question why not change this models looks from last year's, Yamaha's answer was that it means owners of the older bike won't have bikes that look outdated and therefore the resale value won't plummet.

I am miffed that this review is based on a 2008 R6 when the bike had changes to tech in the engine, suspension and ergonomics (a little) in 2010. Just colour changes since, so come on guys (MCN or Yamaha) update the page. Ta. I will be picking up my 2010 R6 this coming weekend and riding 240 miles home. so, I will get to know this bike by the time I get home.

If you want to know how good these bikes are, select 'bikes for sale' and compare these with the equivalent value of GSXR's and ZX6R's. These really hold their value well, partly because Yamaha have not devloped them away too quickly, so not lowering the value through the ageing affect, and because they don't do silly discounts like Kawasaki do, which kills the residual value of ZX6R's. You may have spotted I didn't include the CBR in that analysis, and thats because they are in a very similar position to the Yamaha of course. Top quality, parts and paint, built to un-questionable standards, and the R6 brings with it that amazing rev ceiling! I really enjoy the sound of a GSXR under load and revving high, but this R6 seems be just that bit better, I can't really explain how (great for a review I know), but again, it just has that edge of quality to it. When sittig on an R6 straight after a GSXR or ZX6R, I notice it feels more like you are on the bike than in it, a bit like Triumph's 675, but for me this just makes it feel more edgy and sportier. I wasn't sure about them before, I'm not the kind of chap that tries to make friends with the popular guy, but instead likes to see if I can support a worthy underdog. So though I hate to say it, I really do like this bike... So on that note it may surprise you to learn I would actually buy the ZX6R instead! Why? well it's just as quick on the road as the R6, but most of the time in the used market, for the equivalent year/miles the ZX6R is a grand cheaper! I know, I'm tight ;-)
26 April 2011
I traded in my 08R6 for a zx10 to keep up with my nephew who has an 09 blade - several bikes down the line and I am back on the best bike ever - had a gsxr750 for 5 months - nice bike but couldnt get the R6 out of my head - rode 180 down to crescent yamaha and traded in for a 200 mile 59 reg demo - I honestly think that the look, sound and feel of this bike beats all for pleasure/excitement - I know it is a little flat in the middle, but the way it spins up and that howling sound - magic. I also think that it has the finest build quality and beats my nephews blade with its rusty flaky exhaust and rusty nuts!
10 April 2010
I own an R6 race bike... and I love it. Sure it's been tweaked and gets ridden hard - but I thought that was the point?!
I would not buy one for the road though, as being lucky enough to have ridden a number of other bikes, I'd go for something like a GSXR 750 or a CBR 600 for the road.
Can someone please explain to me how MCN rates the 2006/7 bike as being a better bike overall (5/5) and has more equipment (5/5) when this bike is improved and the equipment stays pretty much the same???
07 September 2009
If, like me, you get on one of these with no previous experience of sportsbikes you'll wonder what the hell all of those bike journalists are on about when they moan about this bike having no mid-range - it's all relative.
The rush this bike(or any sportsbike Im sure)can give is a fantastic feeling.
The only negative for me is the wrist pain that can set in during stop-start city centre traffic. Get it out on the open road and hold on tight!

Only 1 Year
Alway loved the R6 as I had a couple of early models. This model is far more focused, keep the revs up and the grin factor just doesn't go away. I commuted on mine and had a bad accident, although the bike was riden off the motorway, shows the quality of the chasis and engine. Only had her for a year as she was written off but would get another in a heart beat.
18 September 2008
talk of it being too focussed is rubbish. Yes it is at its best when being thrashed, but it can also be enjoyed at a more relaxed pace. I owned an 06 R6, and this is that bit better. The extra midrange shove is noticeable. I get fed up of tyres that burn out in 2000miles so I have just put on a pair of diablo stradas! Apart from feeling 'stiffer' and looking like tractor tyres they seem fine. I have slackened off all the suspension settings a litle to help them work better, and give a slightly plusher ride. Fantastic bike, best looking 600 by far, and I reckon I could do several hours on it wihout any comfort issues.
28 June 2008
Two words.Love it! Gotta agree with Rsix, gotta be in the mood which i always am when out on it, and if im not, i soon get into it :) Love the engine, keep it up over 10k and its just mental. Quite stiff as standard but find a smooth road or track and its a blast!!
04 May 2008
My 08 R6
Two words.Love it. Definately have to be in the mood when riding it.Not a great bike at slow speeds, but then who buys a supersport 600 to go to the shops on?? Begs to be ridden hard and fast, with a fantastic screaming motor.Very solid handling and very flickable.In my opion, the sexiest bike/600 out there. Bring on track day season.

The best 600
This is my 3rd R6 - I know that the journos really slate it as a road bike, BUT I still reckon it is the best 600 - Although nose down and bum up - I still find it fairly comfortable. The noise, build quality and looks cannot be beaten - I am no Valentino but I really rate this bike - only ride on the roads and have not got my knee down and still need to learn to do a wheely - but I love this bike - I get fed up with those that knock it!

The all new Yamaha 600 R6 has a higher revs than the current Honda CBR 600RR, will this bike sound better when pushed and will it perform better on the open track?

Brought it and...
Well, Going from a yzf-R125 to a yzf-R6 was a massive jump! been ridding for 1 month now and done 1100 miles already. My Honda Civic Type R is left to rust :-(
Anyways it's the first 600 superbike I haven't ridden not sure how the others run but I have to say... I feel like a speed freak now! love it!

Steve Holm
Thu Feb 9, 2012 4:12 pm Rockies signed C Steve Holm to a minor league contract.
Fantasy Source Spin: Holm, 32, batted .118/.167/.176 in a cup of coffee (18 plate appearances) with the Twins last season. He'll function as organizational catching depth for the Rox.
Source: Matt Eddy on Twitter
Sun May 15, 2011 5:25 pm Twins designated C Steve Holm for assignment.
Fantasy Source Spin: Holm, 31, registered just two hits over 17 at-bats during his three-week stay in the major leagues earlier this season. He should clear waivers and return to Triple-A Rochester.
Wed May 4, 2011 5:16 pm Twins optioned C Steve Holm to Triple-A Rochester.
Fantasy Source Spin: A corresponding move has not yet been announced. Holm, 31, registered just two hits over 17 at-bats during his three-week stay in the major leagues. Drew Butera is the only active catcher on the Twins' 25-man roster.
Sat Apr 16, 2011 9:06 am Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said he expects Drew Butera and Steve Holm to share time behind the plate while Joe Mauer is out.
Fantasy Source Spin: "We're going to mix them both in there and see what happens there,'' Gardenhire said "Drew is a very good catch-and-thrower and Steve can do those things, too. And we liked [Holm] him in spring training. Actually hit the ball pretty good for us." Holm is a bit better at the plate, but neither player will be a viable fantasy option while they're splitting time.

Thu Apr 14, 2011 10:33 pm Twins purchased the contract of C Steve Holm from Triple-A Rochester.
Fantasy Source Spin: Holm is taking Joe Mauer's roster spot and will slide immediately into a backup role with the Twins. The 31-year-old has only 107 career MLB plate appearances.
Tue Jun 16, 2009 7:58 pm Giants designated catcher Steve Holm for assignment.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Giants needed a roster spot for Matt Downs, who has been called on to supply depth in the San Francisco bullpen. Holm is stuck behind a group of catchers on the Giants' organizational depth chart, so perhaps a change of scenery will help his career in the long run.
Mon Sep 1, 2008 2:45 pm Giants recalled catcher Steve Holm from Triple-A Fresno.
Fantasy Source Spin: Holm has hit .256/.351/.390 in 82 at-bats for San Francisco this year. He'll be the third catcher behind Bengie Molina and Pablo Sandoval.
Wed Aug 13, 2008 6:01 pm Giants optioned catcher Steve Holm to Triple-A Fresno.
Fantasy Source Spin: Holm has seen limited action since re-joining the Giants in July, but he managed to go 6-for-12. Still, he's not a long-term answer, and the team wants to take a look at Pablo Sandoval.

Raymond House Rental Photos and Description
4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, sleeps 8
Looking for the vacation of a lifetime? Come and relax in Raymond on pristine Panther Pond. Enjoy the deck and the hammock overlooking the water with loons and blue herons. A great backyard with plenty of lawn for kids to play games in, or catching some rays in a lounge chair. This spacious cottage is tastefully decorated and recently renovated.The large bedrooms (with king, queen, full/twin size beds) are well suited for two families. Our dead-end street is a safe place for kids to walk or bike. A boat ramp is available on the street (boat size 19' or less). The water is not too deep but gradual (6 feet the deepest part). Most people will go swimming at the beautiful shared sandy beach 200 yards away (visible from house) using our 2 very stable tandem sea kayaks, canoe or 5 person pedal boat, as there is underwater vegetation off our dock area. The condition of the calm protected cove changes every year due to the weather level.The owner living nearby can answer to any questions or requests.
Also, we have a surprise for the children: a real playhouse! Please if you have any questions regarding the vegetation in the cove, don't hesitate to call me.
