Buckaroo Banzai - 06 Jul 2008 05:20 GMT What the hell is with this mission??? I cannot pass it. I ignore killing the girl and straight away jump on the bike. I shoot down the street to intercept 'Jayvon' and I either have to completely hit the brakes to avoid traffic, or I try to veer around traffic and end up going over the handlebars after hitting a vehicle!!! How the hell do you catch up to this guy, let alone kill him?????? HELP!!!! Jeez, I heard so much whining about SA's 'Life's a Beach' mission, which I thought was easy, but this mission??? What the hell????

Try the mission in the middle of the night, traffic is lighter then. If the motorcycles are giving you fits, make sure you are not trying to shoot at him and maneuver through traffic at the same time. Wait for the straight on opportunities, you should have plenty of time to plink him off the bike. Not shooting the girl opens up opportunities later, another reason to ignore her. Speaking of later, there's another motorcycle mission later on you aren't going to like if this one is hanging you up.

I've done it a few times and if I remember rightly (I HATE bike missions) this one is a case of remaining relaxed, don't panic too much and eventually he virtually gives himself to you. I noticed this with a few other chases, that it was almost suicidal to try and take the targets early, just follow and wait.
Having said that there was one later mission where I took a random shot at a pickup I was chasing almost immediately, trying to get a target fix, and the thing blew apart :O))

I used both your guys' strategies.. I got D's money and am now supposed to meet him in at a Cluckin Bell's in *Times Square*, but I reached the green marker and there's nothing.... I'm afraid I'm going to have to do this mission over because I think a glitch happened. Either way, Thanks for the advice, it was great!!!

I must confess... the first I heard of "The Office" was the American version, and I didn't like it at first... but it grew on me... which actually got me to be a fan of "Coupling"... which I now love!!! I love Jeff!!!! "I've got too many legs!!!"

I > love Jeff!!!! "I've got too many legs!!!" A) I hate the Office with a vengeance. Not really my scene, but the arrogance of Ricky afterwards, and that awful Simpsons promotion when he was on it was just too much.
No, the Michael Scott thing is actually aimed at a real person of that name who is a dickhead :O)

I finally found the entrance to the Cluckin Bell. Glad to have helped Buckaroo. My GMpartsguy screenname is from the early 90's, and actually quite outdated these days. I haven't been a GM parts guy since 1999 (i'm east coast, New England). I've just never gotten around to changing my newsgroup identity.
These days i work on cars for a living. I do some specialized consulting, diagnosis, and installations for Ford dealers in our area. Odd stuff like water leaks and electrical gremlins that technicians can't solve get sent to our facility. I also found out i'm very good with automotive glass replacement as well the past couple years, and have a budding reputation from the luxury import crowd. That's an honor. If you had told me i'd be working on BMW, Mercedes, Audi (and all it's cousins), Lexus, even the occasional Corvette 10 years ago, i would have laughed. And when i'm not doing that, i'm installing audio, visual, and navigation products. Plus toss in the occasional strobe/ wig-wag job for municipalities or firefighters.
Much more diversity than slinging parts, my work week goes by quicker, i answer to far fewer people, i make better $$, and that makes me happier than Bob in those friggin Enzyte commercials. ;)
Sorry for the ramble. I'm one of the few that love my job.
Buckaroo Banzai - 07 Jul 2008 04:29 GMT Not a problem... My father worked 'repair' which was basically working in the 'backyard' fixing things that went wrong with the cars once they were off the line... did you work at the Van Nuys plant at some point? It's a shopping center now, they tore down the whole plant...

It's a > shopping center now, they tore down the whole plant... While i am a native Californian, i've lived in New England most of my life. I was a parts "consultant" (see: parts slinger), and manager. I've done a few other car makes too. Finally got sick of dealing with hordes of a.sholes, clueless salesmen, and disconnected management that restricted my ability to grow.
So no, i've never knowingly been to Van Nuys Buckaroo. ;)

And had to deal with the types you described!

Just drive safely and follow him. Eventually he'll start driving around in a short loop, - so just get off/out and shoot him when he comes around for another lap. Also, you don't have to chase him on a bike, you can jack a car and use that if you prefer.
