MODEL SUMMARY.

Ducati Panigale 1199 R in Ducati Rosso Anniversario with Brushed Aluminium Tank and Corse Decals. 2013 13 Reg. A piece of Italian art

3 owners from new, with the last for 2 years. 10000 miles with service history including it's original stamped service book, and some old MOTs. Just had Shell Advance Ultra fully synthetic lube service. Excellent matching Pirelli Diablo Rosso Supercorsa SPs. All books/history/documents/keys present

An utterly fabulous machine, the Panigale 1199 R launched in 2013 and shared virtually nothing in common with it's forebear, the 1198 R. Most significantly, it was frameless, using it's engine and airbox as it's chassis where the engine itself acts as a stressed member

The 'R' was the fourth variant of the 'new' 1199 range and followed the original launch models, those being the the '1199', the '1199 S' and the hitherto this point range topping '1199 Tricolore S'. List price when new in 2013 was £27000 and the model was, in common with all the Ducati R models that preceded it, the ultimate expression of Ducati's engineering prowess. It's raison d'etre solely for the purpose of homologating key parts for racing purposes. It goes without saying that these bikes are rare, exclusive and have a distinct current and future collectability

The motor itself was quite heavily modified over the standard 'SuperQuadro' unit, and significantly had titanium rods, a lighter flywheel, DLC anti friction coated rocker arms and revised Mitsubishi fuelling/mapping. This resulted in an internal weight saving of 1.3 kg, lending itself to faster 'spinning up' and allowing an increased rev limit of 12000 rpm (+500 rpm over lesser versions) Ducati's engineers then shortened the bike's gearing to 15/41, and added a full Termignoni 'Racing Evo' exhaust system (officially for 'track use' only) which grew crankshaft power to 202bhp. And so, the already fearsome 'big' Panigale, became even faster, even noiser, even more monstrous, and of course, even more desirable

The 'R' also had a beautifully crafted and finished lightweight aluminium fuel tank, and a 4 way adjustable swingarm pivot. It wore many expensive Ducati Corse Carbon Fibre parts, quite befitting of it's £27000 price tag. These included a  front hugger, rear hugger, ignition shroud, heel guards, infill panels, clutch cover, rear suspension guard and swingarm protector

Bristling with high technological electronic and mechanical componentry the rest of the specification included Ohlins NIX30 43mm dia. TiN coated forks with electronic compression and rebound adjustment, Ohlins TTX36 monoshock with electronic compression and rebound adjustment, and adjustable linkage, Ohlins fully adjustable steering damper, Brembo Monobloc M50 radial calipers, 330mm dia. floating discs and radial master cylinder, Marchesini forged light alloy wheels, DDA – Ducati Data Analyser, ABS – Bosch 3-level Electronic Antilock Braking System, DTC – Ducati Traction Control, EBC – Engine Braking Control, DQS – Ducati Quickshifter, RbW – Ride by Wire throttle control, Switchable engine maps – Rain, Sport, Wet, Taller screen, MOTO GP derived LCD instruments and Ducati engine immobiliser. Also has a Bike-Trac Tracker fitted from new

This particular bike has the Factory 'Aero Kit' fitted with 3 piece upper fairing, and also an R&G tail tidy and ever useful Optimate lead

Wonderful bike, in excellent, original condition. Sounds and looks awesome, with monstrous, mindblowing performance from its 202 bhp / 98 lb ft L-Twin 'R' spec. Superquadro motor. In our view, these 1199Rs must surely become ever more desirable, and increase in value, as time goes on

Great bike to grow with

The perfect bike for someone that wants to start small but still have a motorcycle that they can tinker with and increase the power as their skill improves

Pros

Runs lean from the factor which is great for a beginner.

This motorcycle is a tank! No need to worry about dropping it.

Cons

Kind of a small gas tank, but the fuel efficiency makes up for that.

You will spend more money on parts if you want more performance.

Kawasaki KLX250S Review

The Kawasaki KLX250S is a dual sport that does everything well, and if you decide to add a couple modifications it does everything exceptionally well! If you want more of the street look, you can check out the KLX250SF or do your own mods to turn this great bike into a supermoto.

The KLX250S Engine

The KLX S and SF version are both powered by 249cc 4-Stroke, Liquid-Cooled motor with a 6-speed transmission. This engine is perfect for a beginner straight from the factory, this is mainly because the E.P.A. has enforced restrictions that limit it's potential.

The good thing about the restrictions is the bike is pretty forgiving, also you will be able to get 70+ miles per gallon out of this little monster. That's definitely nothing to sneeze at!

The Thin Line

Some dual sports lean more towards the street side of their heritage rather than the dirt side, this motorcycle seems to be a welcome exception and treads the line between the two worlds really well. You can ride a few hours of twisties with ease until you get to the trails where this bike tears into the mud, sand, and dirt as well as any knobby tired dirt bike.

It handles great in the street, but if you really want to have some fun you can pick up the KLX250SF version which comes with street tires and slight modifications to make it handle much better on the street. It makes it perfect for cruising around town, riding up fire trails, or making your way down back alleys.

Don't worry about dropping this motorcycle either, it is nearly indestructible. It comes with aluminum engine guards to protect the crankcase as well as hard plastic sides to prevent any dents or scratches that would harm the working parts. In fact if you drop it in your truck I would be more worried about the truck bed than the motorcycle!

Kawasaki KLX250S Modifications Platform

As I said before this motorcycle is great right out of the factory doors, especially if you are a new motorcycle rider. If after a few months you want to try and wring some more power out of this little workhorse you will be pleasantly surprised at how drastically you can change the performance with just a few mods.

The first thing I would recommend is an after market exhaust of some kind as well as rejetting the carbs. Emission standards make the bike run lean from the factory, so once you have more fuel going to the engine you will notice a noticeable increase in power. People seem to have really good experiences when attaching an after market Muzzy Exhaust system to this bike, it not only increases power but the sound it provides will bring a smile to your face.

Conclusion

I really can't say enough good things about this motorcycle, the very first bike I rode on was very similar to this motorcycle and it was a blast to ride. This bike is perfect for a new rider that is afraid of dropping their bike, or someone that wants to start small but still have a motorcycle that they can tinker with and increase the power as their skill improves. With the added 6th gear you can take this motorcycle for short stints on the freeway without a lot of problems, although it is more in it's element on surface streets or the dirt.

Pros

• Runs lean from the factor which is great for a beginner.
• This motorcycle is a tank! No need to worry about dropping it.

Cons

• Kind of a small gas tank, but the fuel efficiency makes up for that.
• You will have to spend more money on parts if you want to increase performance.

Bmw M5 E60 2010

Bmw M5 E60 2010

What are collectables?

These are cars of particular interest and therefore deserving of preservation. Not necessarily old, yet they exist in a defined quantity, either because the manufacturer has decided so, or because their production is stopped. Then, they take advantage of features that make them especially desirable: an engine, a chassis, a design, or a concept. Finally, they are likely to see their rating increase. An additional argument to collect them before everyone else!

Why is the BMW M5 E60 collectable?

The M5 E60 benefits from the only V10 ever produced in series by BMW. A fantastic block, resulting from its experience in Formula 1 and high performance. Plus, it sings beautifully at high revs, better than a supercharged engine ever will. In addition, this 5 Series benefits from top-notch undercarriages, while its design perfectly embodies BMW's Bangle period.

The beginning of the 2000s smacks of scandal at BMW. A wanted scandal: we let Chris Bangle, the design boss, renew the stylistic language of the brand. And the American did not go there with the back of the spoon. This gave the Series 7 E65 in 2001, quite awkward (let's be polite), then at the end of 2003, the Series 5 E60, much thinner and more balanced. Its look makes a lot of talk, so that the quality of finish, in sharp decline compared to that of the E39 it replaces, takes a back seat. Well done BMW!

The BMW 5 Series E60 at its release in 2003, here in 545i.

Fortunately, the technical part, very advanced, constitutes an excellent case for high power engines. A year later, he was filled with a gem: the V10 S85, inspired by Formula 1. Because at the time, the Bavarian manufacturer powered the Sauber team, and the 10-cylinder V is the architecture imposed in the premier category of motor racing. This all-alloy block obviously benefits from the Double Vanos (a system varying the degree and the opening time of the valves) dear to BMW, aluminum pistons, 10 throttle bodies (one per cylinder) and two oil pumps.

This exceptional 5.0 l, naturally aspirated and equipped with 40 valves, weighs only 240 kg, and is twice awarded the title of Engine of the Year. It must be said that it develops some 507 hp at a fascinating speed of 7,750 rpm, and gives the M5 it drives extraordinary performance. Unfortunately, in Europe, it focuses exclusively on the SMG III gearbox, a single-clutch robotic unit, also reminiscent of F1. Americans are entitled to real manual control!

At the end of 2004, the M5 recovered side gills reminiscent of those of the 507 roadster… a figure which is also that of the power of the V10.

On the chassis side, the preparation is meticulous: the suspension / controlled shock absorbers assembly is strengthened and associated with rigid joints and no longer mounted on silentblocs, or even a much more positive camber, the tracks widened and the rims enlarged (19 inches ). In addition, everything is regulated from the driving position: responsiveness of the engine, the gearbox, the limited slip differential, the servotronic steering gear ratio and the hardness of the damping … In short, we concoct a car à la carte.

Relative discretion at the rear of the M5 E60, which still benefits from 4 very evocative tailpipes.

The bodywork is of course adapted to these running gears, sporting inflated wings. The shields are specific, while on the front fenders appear openings reminiscent of those of the sublime 507 of the 1950s. Billed at 94,800 € (115,000 € current), the M5 E60 benefits from very extensive equipment (GPS, leather upholstery electrically adjustable, dual-zone air conditioning, head-up display) offers supercar performance for half the price, especially with the Driver Pack bringing the top speed from 250 to 305 km / h. It's the fastest sedan in the world! And certainly the most dynamically efficient.

Subsequently, the evolutions will be limited. The BMW benefited from a slight restyling in 2007, which brought a rather unexpected Touring break, but not the Efficient Dynamics device of the less powerful versions, aimed at lowering fuel consumption. The M5 E60 (or 61 in station wagon) ended its career in 2010, produced in 20,548 units, including 1,025 station wagons. Nice success.

Very advanced, the running gear gives pride of place to aluminum and is supplemented by controlled damping.

How much does it cost ?

Like many sports sedans, the M5 costs only a tiny fraction of its new price: there are healthy examples showing more than 200,000 km from 23,000 €. To go under 150,000 km, count € 27,000 and downright € 32,000 to stay under 100,000 km. The most expensive have ironed the 40,000 €, helped in this by the abolition last January of the tax affecting vehicles of 36 taxable CV and more (it penalized the M5 to the tune of 4,500 €). Very rare, the Touring requires an extension of 5,000 €.

In 2007, the M5 benefited from a slight restyling, visible on the outside with the headlights a tad retouched in terms of daytime lighting.

Which version to choose?

Even if these are details, prefer the restyled versions, because they benefit from a better finish, an iDrive multimedia system with hard drive, or even USB sockets. In addition, the SMG box is more reliable from 2007.

In 2007, the M5 is available in a very original Touring station wagon: the best of sportiness and volume in one car.

Les versions collector

There, it will undoubtedly be the Touring break, very difficult to find, especially at low mileage. Then, a new M5 totaling less than 50,000 km will also be collector.

The V10 can last a long time, but at the cost of extremely expensive maintenance …

What to watch out for?

Let those who swear by "Deutsche Qualität" not read the following, otherwise they will end up in PLS. Many have stigmatized the very expensive maintenance of the Maserati 3200 GT: that of the M5 is perhaps worse… Because if it is extremely efficient, the engine is also very delicate and requires ultra-rigorous maintenance. Every 80,000 km, we will change the connecting rod bearings (there are 10 of them), we will drain every 7,000 km, and this will not protect against valve breakage after 100,000 km, while the Vanos is experiencing failures (especially the pipes, or even the pump, the change of which costs around € 2,500), as does the electronics.

The robotic gearbox is not immune to damage to its hydraulic pump, but the clutch can last 100,000 km if Launch Control has not been abused. BMW nonetheless made corrections to the differential at the dealership. That it growls at low speed is normal, but if it remains noisy on the road, beware of it… For its part, the iDrive has had a lot of trouble, not all of which can be resolved by reprogramming.

The suspension and the brakes are not particularly fragile, but beware, these "performance" parts are much more expensive than standard parts.

In short, it is absolutely crucial to opt first and foremost for a scrupulously monitored car, maintenance being more important than the mileage displayed on the odometer.

The atmo engine, delivering its high torque in the revs, contributes to the homogeneity of the road behavior of the M5 E60.

Driving

It's a fact, the trim on mid-2000s BMWs looks crap, but they don't age that badly. Aboard the M5, above all, we particularly taste the remarkable comfort seats, combined with a perfect driving position. When starting, the engine makes some noise, but it is supple and docile, while the suspension filters out rough edges very well. Particularly if we have adjusted the shock absorbers to the softest. In short, the M5 is an excellent wagon, except that the SMG III gearbox changes oddly, sometimes unpredictably and suddenly.

The finish of the M5 E60 shows a certain drop compared to that of the previous model, the M5 E39. Here, an initial version from 2005.

Come on, we set the car to the most sporty, and we change universe. The direction is firm and very precise, the movements of the body perfectly contained and, in manual mode, the box gives satisfaction by its promptness of reactions. But the piece of choice is the engine. After 5,000 rev / min, it administers staggering acceleration, while starting to howl like in an F1, and continues this prodigy up to 8,200 rev / min. Fantastic ! What rage! Better, the chassis cash without flinching this fury of kW: the grip, the guiding of the trains and the general balance work miracles.

Let us add that an atmo unit has a big advantage over a turbo, especially at BMW: it does not saturate the rear axle with torque from 2000 rpm, which prevents the traction control from administering jerks. The braking, certainly powerful, is not insanely enduring, but it is enough for this racing wagon, which is satisfied with 12 l / 100 km in quiet driving.

L'alternative youngtimer

BMW M5 E28 (1984-1988)

Don't be fooled by its old-fashioned look: the M5 E28 retains formidable performance. Here, a copy from 1986.

It seems a bit old-fashioned when it comes out in 1981, the Series 5 E28. It must be said that fundamentally, it is an evolution of the E12, presented in 1972. Nevertheless, at the end of 1984, it recovers an exceptional engine, the M88 block of the M1 supercar! It becomes the first M5 of the name, and thanks to its 6-cylinder 3.4 l with 24 valves and two overhead camshafts developing 286 hp (or 9 hp than in the M1, thanks to the new injection), it points at around 245 km / h… It is the fastest production sedan in the world.

The adapted suspension, TRX tires, self-locking differential, reinforced brakes and ABS, all as standard, raise the road behavior to the adequate level, but at 388,000 F (nearly € 113,500 today), the M5 is very Dear. Fortunately, it offers standard air conditioning. In 1986, BMW modified the settings of suspension and anti-roll bars, then in August 1988, the M5 E28 retired, manufactured in 2,241 units, of which only 588 for continental Europe. From € 60,000.

With the restyling of 2007, the finishing of the interior progresses, like the presentation.

10 Fun Teambuilding Games

CC0/Free-Photos/Pixabay

Effective team-building games are educational and fun. They encourage co-workers, classmates and other groups to work together to solve problems and communicate. If you hope to build a stronger team, consider these 10 fun team-building games and activities.

Scavenger Hunt

Scavenger hunts encourage players to communicate and work together as a team. Split the group of people into teams, and have them hunt for the objects on a list. They can either collect them or take photos.

CC0/StockSnap/Pixabay

Two Truths and One Lie

Two truths and one lie is similar to truth or dare game questions, and can help reveal things that other people may not know. To play, have everyone share three things about themselves. Each person will share two true things and one lie, and then the rest of the group guesses which one they think is the lie.

CC0/StockSnap/Pixabay

Human Knot

To start the human knot game, have the entire group stand in a circle facing each other. Each person should connect hands with other people randomly. Set a timer for 30 minutes, and have the team work together to untangle the knot without releasing hands.

CC0/vait_mcright/Pixabay

Perfect Square

In Perfect Square, the team stands together around a rope circle with blindfolds on. They have 30 minutes to form the rope into a perfect square without peeking.

CC0/ShaunZeng/Pixabay

Egg Drop

In egg drop, the goal is to construct a contraption to protect an egg when dropped from a specified height. Divide the group up into small teams of two or three people, and use any supplies found in the office or classroom to make their creation.

CC0/Agnali/Pixabay

Personality or Experience Chart

On a large dry-erase board, construct a table of several characteristics that might apply to people in the group. Examples include visiting Paris, being scared of clowns or being a morning person. Each person should sign their name in the boxes that match their characteristics.

CC0/742680/Pixabay

Self-Portraits

For the first part of the exercise, each person should draw a portrait of themselves anonymously. The leader of the game hangs the pictures on a wall while the others guess who they belong to. Each artist should explain why they portrayed themselves as they did to help others get to know them better.

CC0/rawpixel/Pixabay

Land Mines

Set up this game by placing various objects around the field. Divide the group into teams of two. One blindfolded teammate is led around the field by a non-blindfolded teammate using only verbal communication. The goal is to miss all of the "land mines."

CC0/StockSnap/Pixabay

Escape Room

Escape rooms are growing in popularity, and these fun activity games are in just about every major city in the United States now. These puzzle games require groups of people to work together to gather clues and find ways to escape a locked room.

CC0/Clockedindk/Pixabay
