A genius huh? How about some Eigenvalues and vectors? Or maybe some triple trig. integrations? And if ya want, just for fun, we can hit up some relativity problems and calculate some time dialations.

The real kicker though, can you do them WITHOUT a Calculator? If you can you'd be one of the few I know. Most of the people I've had class with were allowed to use the Ti-89 and couldn't tell you the first step to a Laplace Trans.

 

pfff i do that in my sleep! next please!

 

Yes, I can. Or at least I could. Don't really use that $hit in the real world of automotive engineering so I'm out of practice. I took Calc 1, calc 2, calc 3, Diffy-q and Laplace transforms, Numerical methods and matrices, and probability and statistical analysis in college. Problem Stats was the only one that let you use a calculator, but it was easy math. Only thing I ever used my Ti-89 for is simple math in engineering classes and storing cribs.

Again, I'm a dork. But at least it pays decent.

 

yup me too, and i kinda like being a dork sometimes (i look cute in my glasses too). People are really shocked when they meet me and find out i'm an engineer.
most of my calc classes we weren't allowed to use calculators. i went through lots of engineering paper writing down all the steps to some problems. this is a problem when your cat likes to attack your homework. i had to turn it in with teeth and claw marks and a bit crumpled up. but all we used our calculators for was cribbing for our classes that weren't open book/note.
personally i liked physical chemistry and quantum mechanics the best. I thought about maybe getting a masters in physics and studying string theory (it fascinates me) but i'll stick with Chem E.

Wibb-i don't need a calculator. yes they make things easier and quicker, but in my opinion it is best to learn how to do things first with out one. One of the reasons i kept all my text books instead of selling them back. i like math, it's one of those things that clicks with me and i'm good at it. There are people out there that are way better and smarter than me! but you see that everywhere. sadly it's been a long time since i've had to use any of the things i learned, but thursday i start up grad school again and will have to clear the cob webs out of my brain

on an off note-my boss is literally an Einstein, he's the nephew of Albert E.

Kelm- i wouldn't say give up riding i know that i never could, but if i had a beginner season like you i would never have moved up from my katana to my R6. I had to have my former b/f talk me out of an R1 (ok so he threatened to leave me if i bought one) because i wanted it because it was just the sexiest bike i had seen. Ok my dad threatened to kill me to, so i had to listen to reason and poeple with experience and i got a used R6 and kept it for 3 years. You are not ready to jump up to a 600 next season. maybe at the end of it. just slow down and take it easy and quit trying to impress people....lay off wheelies and fooling around until you get the basics down and you manage to not crash so much. keep your 250 for while yet and remember it's not the bike, it's the rider. i have seen so many guys on 600's out ride some ****y guys on liter bikes. so you don't have any reason to hurry up and jump to a nicer bigger bike because they are cooler. your bike is fine for you for quite a while yet, you don't have anyone to impress ok

 

don't worry about your finger. you'll be fine and don't loose sleep over things you can't control. you'll probably have some type of physical therapy for rehabilitation just do what they tell you and more than likely you'll get most if not all of the normal use back.
i was and still do get upset thinking about my perfect skin now being not so perfect and having a scar on my shoulder blade from road rash, but hey it's done and over with, no use crying over spilt milk. I just do what the plastic surgery doc says and stay outta the sun and pray that with the exception of 2 spots my skin will all be the same color again next year.
take some vicodin and a shot or 2 of vodka and just chill.

 

if you go down with some little chick on the back I'm gonna drive to stafford and cave your face in.

 

bad accident in june, got hit and it was the one day i wasn't wearing my jacket...i didn't bother to mention it to any but some close friends and even then i was more concerned with my bike. the first thing i said to some of my friends was "you know someone with a truck?"

 

First off, that is the CRAZIEST comment I have EVER heard anyone write on here, do you just come on stuntlife and wanna be like a buncha people?! Who cares what anyone else does? I've been reading your posts for a year or so but damn, that should tell everyone what yer about. I'm not sayin' give up like a few people, but maybe you should take a step back and ask yourself why you are doing some things.

Secondly, that you for starting this post or I never woulda got to see that Alicia girl in a french maid outfit. :YEAH

 

No offense bro, but I KNOW that I have much more natural talent when it comes to riding than most ... and at 23 I took a year off from riding because I knew I needed to chill out a bit ... I got back on the bike after that year and yeah I still do some stupid ****, but I definitely recognize my limits more than I did before. I also enjoy getting out on the bike more now that I know what its like to be without one for a while.

 

some people are just cut out for riding..i hopped on a bike after never even sitting on one and rode it accident free then went straight to a 750 the same way..others just arnt cut out for riding like kelm...oh also when i started i had no one to teach me,no one to ride with and hadnt taken an MSF course.

 

Damn, and you guys were so close to completely hijacking this thread

 

Exactly...some people adapt and learn fast than others will at some things than others, i started out with my 954 2 months ago and im only 19, everyone said i was crazy but i learn things very easily when it comes to mechanical stuff...now in school you ahve to teach me math equations 10 times before i get half of it..i also dont do stupid crazy **** and know my limits...just take your time kelm and practice on ur 250 in closed lots like they say, and one day you will be ready for open road and a 600..just take your time and itll be worth it in the end..oh and i also took the MSF course before i got on the 54 which def helped..if you havent taken it...do it asap...once again hope ya feel better bro

 

Lady that's the funniest **** i have ever heard from you just as long as you didn't tell him to ride his bike after that.
