I was checking out some of the other chat rooms in other SE sites (that are no longer beta). Boy do people chat their socks off! This room feels like a remote Himalayan village in comparison

I am back to the rescue.. :-)

mighty painkillers keeping me up..

haha

I can imagine how it must feel, hope you get better soon

Guys i have noticed something weird. my engine feels more powerful when its raining , i know the temp of the air plays a role in performance but my bike feels as if its using all of its power instead of limping it flies, is this normal?

@Anarach Why don't you post it up as a question?

well. i thought it was stupid as i dont have any clear way of explaining the phenomenon

feels awkward when it rains , engine gets more power but roads flooded :-(

@Paulster2 Are the Nissan R34 GTR illegal in the USA ?

@Anarach Why would it be?

@Zaid , I read it somewhere that its illegal in the USA not sure that is why asked

Why do Americans call petrol(liquid) A GAS ? how is it gas?

I have a hunch about your rainy day performance. This is for the Yamaha, right?

No TVS Apache (suzuki engine)

Is it carbureted?

Yup

hmm, then my hunch won't work

@Anarach - I don't know about the R34, but believe you are right it is not. The reason why we call what you consider petrol as gas, is it's short for gasoline, which was converted from the word, gasolene (1920), which came from the word gazolene (1868), which was a knockoff of the word cazolene (1862).

@Anarach - And before you think I'm all knowing ... I guess my Google-Fu is running strong this morning - Read This for a full description.

@Paulster2 Ha ha thanks my friend.. :-)

Not sure if this is even a question. Lol at new pistons, whatever that means

@Zaid - Yah, I don't think there is a question in there. It's definitely not an answer. Looks like Larry took care of it :D

@Zaid & @Anarach - It's my understanding water expands greater as it turns into a gas (steam) than does gas (petrol) as it is burnt.
