    but it's half the fun! (lol that engineers, usually considered arrogant, are calling the superior engineer arrogant too )

    Well we are engineers so I think I will take the references and articles thanks, .

    Im not arrogant, I believe engineers being arrogant is just a myth. It seems that way because half the time when we are talking about what we know, others dont follow. It makes people think we are arrogant. Same happens with doctors and lawyers.

    I would also be careful about calling mechatronics superior, one day you'll find you will need mechanical and electrical engineers, as much as we hate to admit it, we will probably rely upon mechatronics as well.

    Yeah, no doubt.

    Just looking at the course-list for mechatronics and it does look like the electronics part of the course is a bit more healthy now, but 4th year seems to be mostly mechanical stuff?

    What year are you guys by the way?

    I do believe you lot have gone fairly off topic, in a hilarious manor no doubt.

    To boil it down to it's basic element,

    An intruder can handle perfectly fine in the wind. As can any other modern bike (they do tests for this kind of shit you know!).

    All depends on the rider.

    Christ, it's only riding down a road with wind. Nothing difficult about it.
    Woe to You Oh Earth and Sea
    For the Devil sends the beast with wrath
    Because he knows the time is short
    Let him who hath understanding
    Reckon the number of the beast
    For it is a human number
    Its number is six hundred and sixty six.


    FOR SALE: '88 Yamaha FZX 750, low k's and decent condition. Looking for around 4.5K. Drop us a pm, view it any time. Oh, and trades considered for cruisers or naked sporties.

    That can't have been a debate, motorcycle was the only option that made any sense at all!
