Hmm, not sure who the biker boys are but the fella on the far right of this pic, Geoff LeLievre of Ultimate Choppers Aust is well known throughout Aust and the HD bike industry. He's also a good mate who you could say is a bit of a pioneer and has opened many doors in this country through ADR's for bikes like mine and others around the country, without him my bike would never be possible.

Unfortunately he took his own life at his workshop in Frankston VIC on Frid night and leaves a wife, son, daughter & many friends behind.

The next issue # 102 of Heavy Duty should have a feature on him.

sorry to hear pete, RIP and condolences to his family and friends. damn shame when you hear about shit like this happening.

We got ours from JB, if u ask them to do a better price, they normally will! Although they are prob the cheapest retailer anyway.

Craig go for an LCD. From my experience selling them, LCD's are better, better for gaming too. The image burn issue has been technically fixed up but still can happen occasionally..

Do you want FULL HD? or just happy with HD?

I can do u a 40 LG LCD for less than $1300 probly Its not Full HD but its still pretty good. We got 1 left as of this arvo when i left work.

Send me a sms if u interested?

Welcome to the "organ donor" club

19 years of riding and I haven't donated yet nor have I required a donation! My organs would be too pickled, bruised and battered by now to be of any good to anyone

You're welcome to come out Friday/Saturday nights at BP ... just remember, no mucking about. There are no prizes for pissing off the biker boys.

Plasma's are better for watching sport on - the only reason my dad got one over the LCD.

Pixel transition is better with plasma's - faster.

Dad always does his research with things he buys. Trust dad to buy a tv that he can watch the footy on lol.

LCD's consume more power too hehe.

SO ,

someone has just threatened me about my new car saying that im a wanker and all this crap and that they are gonna bash me etc etc

can i go to the police ?

i have msn convo log of what he has said to me

[bezender]

do they rly consume moar power??

would not have thought that... plasmas generate so much heat,

learn something everyday

[craig R33]

lol mitch, key board hero,

tell him to say it to your face, bet ya 20 bucks he wont show.

[*flick*]

haha the plasma over LCD debate will never end! Everyone has their favourite.. and each of them has their advantages. The pro's and con's of both are about the same.

I have a full HD LCD and i love it. But some of the plasmas out now, well they are awesome.

The series 9 Samsung and the new bravias well they are even better. LCD with LED backlighting.. brighter, clearer colours.. just wow.

But wow at the retail value too $5000 for around a 42 inch. But well worth it.

Ive been to many a training sessions and hear the plasma vs lcd debate over and over. Go with what YOU want, cos in the end, theyre all doing the same thing anyway..

[typevu]

lol wtf Mitch... who/why would they threaten you over a car YOUR going to buy? What it to them?

[DamageInc]

lol wtf Mitch... who/why would they threaten you over a car YOUR going to buy? What it to them?

exactly , i dont see what effect it has on him , and if i did say to him to come say it to my face he would and then would probably end up

damaging my car or my parents cars

think im just gonna print off the convo logs and go down to the cops because im sick of him talking shit to me .

[gtrkiet]

he can just say it wasnt him... on his account..

point 4, paragraph 2

"LCDs also tend to consume less power than plasma screens, with some estimates ranging that power saving at up to 30 per cent less than plasma."

Cos we all believe everything we see on the internet, and only look at one source.

http://apcmag.com/the_case_for_plasma_hdtvs.htm

"Plasmas don’t consume more power than LCDs"

"....also measured the energy consumption over a one-minute period using the same piece of Apollo 13 footage being played from an HD DVD player connected via HDMI. You’d think the big Pioneer 50in PDP-5000EX plasma would be by far the highest consumer of power. But, its estimated hourly usage of 0.252 kilowatts is not as high as the Grundig 40in LCD’s 0.276 kilowatts. In a direct comparison between two similarly sized TVs, the LG 42 inch plasma (42PC1DG-AA), used 0.216 kilowatts per hour, vs the 0.228 kilowatts of the LG 42 inch LCD — (42LC7D-AB)."

Exactly like flick said - its personal opinion. And i was just sharing mine
