Does anyone have any tips to make a diy auxiliary fuel tank for a efi bike? I used to ride a carbureted bike and it was as simple as connecting the tank with a T to the fuel line, adding a petcock and letting gravity do it's job.

>>27600089Lol it is new and it had 15 miles on the clock when that photo was taken. Also, you can't inb4 your own post.

>>27600095strapped to the back seat, i am sure you will stop once in a while to fill it up?
>>27600105Maybe in another 25 years.
>>27600095It's definitely possible as they're sold for ADV bikes. Just watch a YouTube video on the install process and you'll probably see how it works fairly easily.

Posting ktm before cam shafts are ruined
>>27600196just replace them. looks like a 3 hour job.
>>27600192that's great investment BROTHER
>>27597941okay I took it out again today to go run some errands and it idled perfectly? on the same tank of gas? Same route and everything, main difference is that I stalled it out once yesterday in the parking lot yesterday and didn't stall at all today but it feels random whenever the idle decides to act up because it's pulled the rough idle thing even when I hadn't stalled itI'm beginning to want to rule out the fuel pump from the question because throttle response is solid across the rev range even when the idle is being funny.
Honda supremacy
>>27600224Love your positivity and enthusiasm breh.Watched a video today of a dude who's 790 had 2 absolutely fucked cam lobes. I think his oil pump shit the bed and the ccams got ruined.
>>27600260what's even the problem with the 790? never looked into it just saw a video of a guy bitching while replacing them.
>>276002662 of his cam lobes had valleys carved into them. Probably from lack of oil + heat. The dealer fixed it up and gave him the cam shafts.
>>27600271why is it lacking oil? haven't we nailed this shit down yet? it's a fucking bike engine you could build one with sticks and rocks.
Was going through storage and found my dad's old colors from when he was in a motorcycle club in California back in the 60s. Him and a few friends from the service chopped their Triumphs and had one of their moms make their patches for them. He said they decided to quit playing biker when a Hell's Angel at a bar took offense and pulled a sawed-off on them and apparently peppered his friend's bike as they rode off into the sunset. I'm not into MCs and I'm especially not into colors but I kinda wish I fit into this so I could give them one more ride, I think a lot of MCs would look a lot less gay if they used denim vests like this instead of leather
>>27600228They sent me a shirt this year :)>>27600255Very cute cruiser, fren.>>276002821%s can be such cry baby cunts. Cool patch though. Denem is always a cool choice
>>27600274Oil pump fail probably? I don't think the dealer even told him. Cam shaft being on top, gravity making oil go down. Oil needs pumped up to the cam shaft.
>>27600282>NOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST BE IN A MOTORCYCLE CLUB AND HAVE FUNI fucking hate these cunts so much.
>>27600294Classic harley boomet
>>27600294And you'd do absolutely nothing about irl.
>>27600300why would I do anything? it's not my fucking problem. it's just irritating.
>>27600282The irony around 1%er fags is that within the clubs themselves only about 1% of members have a serious criminal record and actually engage in illegal gang activities. Most of the members themselves are poser tryhard faggots just like the 99% of civilian MC members that they think they're better than
My uncle got blasted by some road rager with a shotgun. Had a limp the rest of his life
>>27600306road rage has been a serious issue since covid. riding in town is sketchy as fuck lately. if you don't ride defensive or at 40 mph faster than everyone else you're basically dead.
>>27600196do you like it? i was thinking about buying one to replace 3 bikes as a commuter / tourer / scratcher / fire trails bike. i'm not scared of cornering on 21/18.
>>27600316Glad I'm not the only one noticing this. I know it's pretty typical for people to bitch about how bad drivers are getting as they get older but I've noticed a crazy increase in the amount of people that are straight up homicidal on the road. Going way over the speed limit in areas where it exists for a reason (residential and commercial areas), constant weaving in and out of traffic, general impatience. A few months ago I was driving through Grand Rapids and this guy coming up behind me was driving like a lunatic weaving in and out of traffic at like 80 mph. He got ahead of me, tried to change lanes and then noticed someone was already there, overcorrected, flipped his car and it smashed into a divider upside down. I had to swerve to avoid the wreckage. Imagine killing yourself like that just to get somewhere like 3 minutes faster
>>27600302So why cry about it?
>>27600306Fake n gay
>>27600282That is beyond fucking rad. I agree with you completely about denim>leather
>>27600282>>27600287those are pretty sweet, grandma had excellent taste >>27600305as far as i can tell the biggest pretty much got under the thumb of prison gangs early and not everyone in it knows or cares
>>27600335Ok nobike
>>27600326people are getting insane. i get honked at all the time in my car for not turning fast enough. i followed one to a gas station once and asked him why he honked at me and he threatened to shoot me. like bro i just want to know why you honked at me for not turning fast enough.
>>27600330Actually you're crying right now. Need a tissue?
>>27600321Fuckin love it. Its extremely nimble and corners amazing.
>>27600341Look how mad you are! Sorry you're not a big bad gang member
>>27600338post your bike, and then i'll post a real bike
>>27600339>things that never happened
@27600346Hush, ecuck
>>27600339I had some lunatic blare on his horn for a solid 10-15 seconds the other day. I had a left turn arrow and I was going to turn left and he tried running the light and then got pissed at me for having the right of way I guess. I don't think they even give driving tests anymore, I was talking to this chick I know who's like 18-19 that got her license during all the covid shit and she said they literally just passed her without making her do any maneuvers or parallel parking or anything
>>27600348it did. i was turning into the lowes parking lot and he was going to the BJ's gas station in albany new york. right by the 87/90 intersection.you're a gay incel that has never confronted someone about their actions.
>>27600345That's quite alright no need to be sorry. Anyways need tissues or will toilet paper suffice?
>>27600354No you didn't >>27600355Larp

What are the risks of changing wheel size from stock? I'm the guy restoring/modifying a 78 shovelhead from the last thread but I'm pretty new to it. The stock front tire is a 19 inch and the rear is 16, I want to reduce the front tire down to 16 inches to give the bike a "flatter" look for what I'm doing with it. Obviously it'll change the handling a bit but is it going to make it dangerous or something?
>>27600357Ok nobike
>27600365>harley Oh great. The faggots are here.
>>27600365Alternatively, could I jack the suspension up in the rear to make the bike sit flatter? I'm just trying to minimize the rise on the bike that's so characteristic of Harleys, I'm looking more for a sporty/drag bike line to it
>>27600367>>27600366>>27600361>>27600350>>27600348>>27600346take your fucking meds
Did I fuck my new tire? It's tubed
>27600371Post your fucking bike
>>27600372yes. stop changing them with spoons off ebay
>>27600376Why?
>>27600372Its fine but maybe use more finesse next time.
>>27600376I got them from cycle gear.
>>27600381it's cycle queer as soon as you walk in
>>27600380Ya I was drunk. I don't know why I decided right then was a good time to try and mount my new tire
>>27600381A man of class
>>27600381doesn't matter. tires are not negotiable. either practice on shit tires or get them changed at a shop.
>>27600393You mean, you don't negotiate with tires?
>>27600393I'm probably just going to set it under the bead locker so it doesn't make a difference, this tire wasn't cheap. It's not like it needs to hold air and the bead is still intact. I was mostly wondering if there was some other problem I might run into because of it I wasn't thinking about
>>27600365your brakes will heat up faster and tires wont last as long. just get longer shocks you will spend stupid money on tires and rims and then doing everything vs zipping in and out a few bolts to put on 3" lifts and can turn better
>>27600401Explain
>>27600400we've all ripped a tire trying to change them with spoons. take the L and don't do stupid shit. the bead flexes.
>>27600406Ya, alright. I'll bring it into the shop tomorrow and just have them do it this time
I made this
>>27600365if anything it will be more nimble in the corner and a bit less unstable in a straight line due to reduced rake and trail. may need stiffer springs for rear shocks
>>27600414okay but i2's are gay. i4's will take you to the moon.v2's just break
>>27600415Not really
>>27600415>and a bit less unstable in a straight line due to reduced rake and trail.I thought rake and length is what made a bike stable in a straight line? I thought choppers had the crazy proportions they do specifically because they were made for long stretches of open highway out west where you're just riding in a straight line
>>27600426less stable brain fart sorry
>>27600426>out westBig gay
>>27600365Changing the geometry could possibly make you get speed wobble. But harleys get speed wobble standard, so you might actually make it more stable idk
>>27600401if you lift the rear you will get ground clearance and tilt for like 150 bucks, anywhere from 1-5+ inches, vs tons more work and money on a smaller front wheel that will look like shit with the stock rear, that will have to spin faster for the same speed and wear your breaks faster.
>>27600404>>27600434
>>27600430Any bike with more weight in the rear will have that. It's not exclusive to harley, gramps
>>27600434>>27600436>pink helmet Tranny
I just had sex
>>27600447gay bike, gay sex
>>27600447What was his name?
>>27600426makes you more stable at speed. low speed you just have to manhandle her
>>27600437so either raising the rear or lowering the front will actually reduce speed wobble lol due to shifting the weight few centimeters to the front. Then the reduced rake angle would make correction easierLOL
>>27600462You're not a motorcycle engineer.
>>27600468to be fair the retards who were making Harleys in the 70s (a bowling company) also were not motorcycle engineers
>>27600468based on the logic of the guy i replied to, not my own.>Any bike with more weight in the rear will have that.It also doesn't hurt to know things
How do you niggers listen to music while riding.
>>27600480I don't because I don't have zoomer brain rot that requires 24/7 audio stimulation. If you can't be alone with your thoughts for a couple hours without wigging out you have brain damage
>>27600482Okay nigger.

My dad died yesterday.He died with our motorcycle club shirt draped over him. He lost the battle to complications directly related to cancer.Tomorrow is the cremation. June 21st is the service, held at the club campground, the next day we'll spread his ashes on the event course.His daily street bike was a 1978 KZ650. He'd given me his DR350 and his Drz400. He has passed his XT250 to my son.Can you guys post some bikes, please?
>>27600482I used to think like that and put off getting a headset for ages. Finally tried it and riding with music on is plain comfy. It also stops me speeding on transit sections and I can get audio alerts for speed cameras. I bought some $20 chinkexpress and it works fine.
>>2760048080% of my commute is on the freeway at 85+ mph, at that speed I can barely even hear my bike. I'd rather plug in some memory foam eartips and listen to some jams than get my ears raped by the sound of wind trapped in a helmet for 20 minutes

>>27600503Nice blogpost, faggot.
>>27600503Sorry to hear that anon. He looks and sounds like a pretty great dad.Had great taste in bikes.May he RIP and HYB in peace.I lost my dad in 2021. This is his Rebel, and he also had a TW200 which was my starter bike.I didnt have my T7 til a while after he passed so we never got to go on the pan-america trip we were planning. Also the covid travel ban was blocking us.I still want to go but my mom doesnt want me to go alone, but I dont really have any close bike bros that would be up to go on such a long trip. It also might be an emotional trip because I want to bring some of his ashes to scatter.

I'm pretty sure the center spring in my throttle bodies is doing a fucky because there's a clicking noise down in there somewhere and the throttle has a really strong turning resistance (snaps back really hard still) but that part is buried in the "never ever touch this" section of the TBs where the only guidance is to replace the entire TBs including the secondary plate servo.

Is it a worthy upgrade to put osram nightbreakers instead of the stock halogens? I really don't like the aliexpress led conversions on older bikes and want to keep the original headlight. Also don't want to compromise the waterproofness of the housing by shoving an led bulb in there.
>>27600944nope, an anon has a chart which shows the output is pretty much the same. why not become a hidnigger? get a 4300k h4 kitthis is what hidnigger anon had to say:>Get 1 ballast/bulb.>1) buy the cheapest ones you can get because anything over like 35-40 dollars shipped to your door is a rip off.>2) " 55w ballast 4300k bulbs hid kit [bulb type] " in to eBay>3) enjoy fuck you lighting>Led cucks get the gas
>>27600949>why not become a hidnigger?Same reason I don't want to get a led bulb in, I'd have to cut or loose the headlight backplate making the whole thing no longer waterproof.
>>27600952how would you change a light bulb in there otherwise? do the have a vacuum or what? genuine curiosity whats different on your headlights than on any other bike where you just schrew them out/in.you could get external additional auxiliary lights if you dont wanna touch the original.
>>27600956There's a weatherproof cap on the back side of the bulb, and the housing itself is pretty exposed, so much so that without the backing plate a mistake while washing the bike would probably get water inside. picrelI'll try the nightbreakers since it's 30 bucks and 15 minutes and post results here. All else fails I'll just get some aux lights like you said.

What's the appeal of an adventure bike over getting a dual sport and slapping a windscreen and luggage on it? They just seem like a heavier and worse bike.
I just got this bag to go camping
>>27600991Comfy and more relaxed engine
>>276009911. Engine balance. Thumpers suck if you're sensitive to vibrations.2. Wider seat. You don't want to ride with your weight resting on your soft tissues, you want to rest your weight on pelvic bones. Dual sports usually have a seat too narrow to be ergonomic in that regard.
>>27600991better for long distances
>>27600991>nobike
>>27600991Adv bikes are cruisers that can go off road, dual sports are off road bikes that can go on road.

My radiator is fucked and because of the engineers absolutely genius (retardation) it has a thermostat built into it that none of the chinese copies feature. If I were to just slap said chinesium in and run without a thermostat what would happen?

new tires coming this week, honestly a bit excited to get them on and go riding. I've been riding on some shit ones for quite a while I realized.

>>27601018Switch to a smaller plug.
>>27601018> t. posterior tilt haverLean forward a bit, will hopefully help.
>>27601025Yeah I have awful posture from a lifetime of slouching in computer chairs. I'm only 34 and can't sit on hard chairs for a long time. Budget flights are a killer. Has only got this bad in the last 2-3 years.
>>27601030I know that feel.Walk more. Do some calisthenics. Switch to a standing desk.
>>27601034I've lost 5kg in the last 3 weeks as I have a big bike trip coming up and I'm hoping that will help. Luckily my job isn't all sitting at a desk but most of it is, will see about a standing desk when I've been there a little longer. I do uphill walking on treadmill and weights at least once a week as I like hiking in the summer and want to be able to carry a heavy backpack, for my long rides I'll just have to load up on ibuprofen.
>>27600961Hooly shit good thing I checked. Low beam was still working sunday, ded today.Might have to get that ali express led replacement after all
>>27600975Zondag :DDD
>>27601013It might be running cold, as if the thermostat was fully open all the time. I'm not sure how it is in bikes, but in cars the engine is almost guaranteed to run cold, unless you thrash it. If you have a temp gauge I'd try riding without one and see, if it's running cold then no luck and you need to splurge on a thermostat.
>>27601060No temp gauge. I've looked online and an inline thermostat + generic rad hose to cut up isnt terribly expensive so might just go that approach instead. But anyway whats wrong with running cold? Surely thats better than running hot
>>27601067Running too rich, carbon buildup, burning the valves in extreme cases.
>>27600480I like my plugphones. They're cheap enough and they have about the same amount of ear protection as just sticking in safety plugs. Haven't tried the wireless ones yet.
>>27600482Did you have the same reaction to radios in cars, Mr. Luddite?
>>27601022Unironically considering one of these as a second bike for putting around town and doing trails. Has Ural gotten their shit figured out yet or what?
>>27601099I have these. It doesn't do a great job of keeping the wind out considering it's moulded to my ear. Earphones are good enough quality. Fine for listening to podcasts on boring motorway runs, but seem overpriced.
>>27600774Newfag spotted
>>27601103> Has Ural gotten their shit figured out yet or what?Sure they have, they streamlined the process of getting spare parts, you can find it on their website: https://uralmoto.ru/partsWhenever anything breaks, you just go to https://live.uralcatalog.com/, select the parts that need to be replaced, send a request for those parts to sale@uralmoto.ru, then wait for the quote and further instructions.Ezpz.

I think i got my mechanical seal pressed in properly. Like a man, on a kitchen table.Failed and broke first one. Waiting for my custom impeller and modded chain tensioner.Hopefully i get Silverwing together soon.Thanks for reading my blog.
All the impoverished tenere owners in dbt are going to have to be dealt with.
Hey br/o/s it's me. Rural road new rider guy from yesterday. I was hesitant to go out and ride because I live off a country road and the nearest town is through a pretty rough (for a new rider) route. I ended up going on a 20 mile round trip down the road and back without much issue. The anxiety went away after a couple miles and after 4-5 miles I was having a blast. My bike (Royal Enfield Hunter 350) is a turd but it's great for what I am doing! Can't wait to go out again. I plan to do this 'down the road and back' a few more times before adventuring out further.Thanks to the anons that encouraged me.Also fuck the guy that said I was gonna die. I mean, he isn't wrong, I'll die someday, but not yesterday while riding.
>>27601188Hell yeah brother, glad to hear it!
>>27601181w-what are you going to do?
>>27601181What did they ever do to you? They are good posters unlike the R6 faggot and Hornet tranny.
>>27601217Agreed. I don't see them riding giant ducks.
Had a horrible experience with tyre change. One of the tyres was from 2021 and the other was 2023. Also, the tyre change was complete sketch. He did it with a hydraulic floor jack. The price was cheap though. Is this supposed to happen? I feel like they fugged me.
Does dbt like Schaaf?
it's not much but she never let me down
Do the tires hold air? What was sketch about it?
>>27601263I like Schaaf mainly for his work with 1000ps. His youtube is cool too.
>>27601265I've been thinking about getting a TW200. I want to learn to ride in the dirt but there isn't really any trails nearby and I don't want to have to haul a dirt bike for hours to get somewhere to have fun. It'd be cool to hop on a bike like this and just go find some forestry roads to bomb down. Plus it's small enough I don't think I'd get myself killed on it and cheap enough that I wouldn't cry when I drop it
>>27601281They made me hold the bike on a wooden block on the floor jack when the wheel was removed.
>>27601239Change it yourself? It's not that hard
>>27601263He got caught speeding up his footage to make it look like he's going faster
>>27601307sauce?
>>27601306Will it ride straigt if I do it? Also, what about wheel balancing?
>>27601307Google gives me nothing, wdym?
Has anyone here ever had problems with DOT/local police for having illegal stuff on your bike? I'm customizing my bike a bit and I'm thinking about removing the turn signals and reflective tape because it's really ugly. I'll probably put some of those tiny handlebar turn signals on but I doubt those fully meet DOT requirements, I'm just wondering what the chances are that anyone is actually going to say anything.
I'm obsessed with this Harley I saw on Bike EXIF from Deus. I really wish Harley offered something like this stock, or anyone for that matter. My dream bike has always been something like a standard from the 70s but with a torquey v-twin in it. Unfortunately this custom required welding a W650 subframe onto a sportster frame so doing something like this myself is way beyond my capabilities and I don't know anyone in the area who could tackle something like it either without charging out the ass
>>27601323I would suggest keeping the turn signals, you want other people to notice them.
>>27601332Get a moto guzzi?
>>27601308>>27601322It's not like journalists were writing articles about a literal who larping on youtube. This was ages ago
>>27601181What did he mean by this bros
>>27601354But forum posts, reddit posts or anything mentioning him speeding up his footage should be visible? Genuinely curious.
>>27601290I test rode a tw200 when i wqs trading my cb500x for the f4iDidnt realize how gutless the engine was, but tou felt super confident smashing into soft unpacked driveway gravel and in and out of grassy wet ditchObviously youre not going fast, but the FEELING of going fast on difficult terrain conditions is also awesomeGetting one is more of a tool or toy not transportation
>>27601030Do yoga stretches, dynamic stretch wqrmup before lifting, do atg deep squating and pistol squats, good mornings with barbell, split squats, lungesWagmiAlso get a 3inch pvc pipe and do foam rolling on it, hurts like a mf ifbtoure not uses to it but its like a deep tissue massage aany time you like for $3
I wanna do a road trip in the states for like a month or two. In September, any Americans or euros that have done it that can share tips? I’d be either buying or renting there, not bringing mine.
>>27600642euro cuck emissions regulations forced on the rest of the world
>>27601342I have one already, I love my Guzzi but honestly stock from the factory they're pretty anemic, and the transverse v-twin is very cool but it's a different feel from a Harley.
>>27601380Don't park your bike overnight in an area with niggers unless you don't want it to be there in the morning If you get pulled over don't forget to worship the ground the trooper walks on unless you want him to ruin your lifeIf you see a fat old man on his trike don't engage him in conversation unless you want to hear about every motorcycle he ever owned and how he had to lay 'er down and how his shitpig AMF harley from the 70s could blow any supersport bike you have out of the water because it's powered by red-blooded American nigger sweat
>>27601380I looked into buying a shitbike and then ditching it, but its not easy to have it registered and insured without breaking some rules and I don't think its worth the risk, get pulled over and you don't have correct paperwork, trip is over. Can any Americans explain about driving in different states? You have a car/bike registered and following the rules of State 1, go over to State 2, do you also need to do extra shit in State 2 or are you covered because you're following the home State rules? Like say if insurance is not compulsory in your home State but it is in another?
>>27601396Insurance is required in every state, there's not many specific issues you are going to run into state to state, that's OK in one but not in another. You can only lane split/filter in California, anywhere else they won't understand what you are doing and they'll get offended by it.
>>27601396You need insurance in every state, but other than that everything is pretty much the same except for minor traffic laws like right turn on red, or having license plate on the front (for cages). Driving in one state is the same as any other.
>>27601411>>27601396But I think to answer your question if everything reg/insurance/license whatever is legit in one state, all the others will recognize and honor it
>>27601396Insurance is compulsory everywhere. I think New Hampshire is the only state that doesn't require insurance but you do have to prove "financial responsibility" which means insurance is de facto required. As long as everything is squared away with the state you're registered in you're good to go though. For example, California is well-known for having extremely strict and retarded laws regarding emissions, to the point that vehicles sold there often are a special version that's compliant for that state. If I drive a car registered in Nevada into California, a state trooper can't pull you over and cite you because your car isn't California compliant, it only applies to vehicles registered in the state of California.Of course in practice, with motorcycles, they let a lot of shit slide. Just about everybody on a sport bike has an aftermarket exhaust that isn't road legal, tons of guys with choppers and customs are missing things legally required by the DOT. In my experience dealing with traffic cops is that they'll treat you as good as you treat them. Sure every now and then you'll get just a real rank cocksucker that wants to make your life hell for no reason, but for the most part if you get pulled over and you're courteous and comply with their instructions you'll be fine. If you start running your mouth about how you're a sovereign citizen and how the police should be abolished and how traffic enforcement is just a way to extort revenue from the public, however, he's probably going to look for any reason he can to ruin your day. Which isn't difficult, like I said just about everybody on the road has something they could theoretically be cited for.>tl;drMake sure your paperwork is in order and don't be a cunt when dealing with LEO and you'll be fine
>>27601265>Yami 2 stroke>it's not muchBrother that bike is a treasure. Hang on to it and keep it clean, that's a keeper.
>>27601396Have you looked into renting a bike?
What's /dbt/'s opinion on patches? Are they cringe or not? I've been collecting patches/pins from places I've been, garages I've been at, brands etc. for a while now and I'm considering buying a nice denim jacket and sewing a bunch of them on but I'm not sure if id look like a fag or not
>>27601439you will. just get a patch wall and hang them in your garage or whateverhttps://www.amazon.com/patch-wall/s?k=patch+wall
>>27601439Patches are cool just make sure to play by the "rules" of 1% chuckle fucks if you wear them on a bike because it's not worth the cringe interaction >t.metalhead
>>27601447what rules are those?
>>27601265Serrow? Frizzy chan?
>>27601380southern states are more friendly and will converse with you like they have all the time in the world vs northern states will be bothered and confused if you try to engage in a conversation. we have things to do and places to be avoid large cities, crime/traffic, there's nothing worth seeing there anyway. its still very hot in the south and southwest states in september.all prices shown are pre-tax, you won't know the actual tax because it varies by state, usually 6-10% so if you are paying with cash it's going to be annoying. you find out at the register at the end after the cashier totals everything.
>>27601455If you live in pretty much any western (or some other) country, it's basically don't make your jacket look like how they do theirs. No 3 piece back patch, "territory" like state or province or common symbols they use. Look it up. Yes it's gay. No you shouldn't have to obey the rules of someone else's girl scout club but there are retards who will give you a hard time and you're not going to beat them up
>>27601436Yes probably the best thing would be to fly to Vegas and rent the cheapest Harley for $100 a day. Planning a 7 or 14 day road trip looping around back to Vegas would be the hard part.
>>27601470thats not a bad idea. start in vegas, so southwest to california, ride up cali swing east to utah or whatever and back down to vegas.most of the trip will be in california but its the most motorcycle friendly state anyway, so it wouldnt be a complete waste
>>27601470I think if I hopped on a plane from canada to vegas right now and got on a bike I would be found baked into the road after one day. Heat's gotta be brutal
>>27601484Yeah I'm not used to heat in the UK. I can only remember 2 or 3 days where I was uncomfortably hot riding a bike in the last 5 years.
>>27601492At least it's a dry heat!
>>27601492las vegas, in july/august, is 43 C during the day, and only cools off to 32 C at night
>>27601439depends what kind of patches and how many of them. Marque/brand patches, stuff from places you've toured to or garages that have worked on your stuff, accomplishments (rallies and races you've taken part in, things like the ton up club) are cool. Stereotypical American biker shit like 1%er skulls and crossbones and "live to ride, ride to live" mottos and dumb shit like "pussy slayer" are all extremely cringe boomercore bullshit and you should kys if you unironically wear any of that
>>27601484Still remember going through moab in 43°c and emptying a water bottle down my shirt every 10m
>>27601439i wouldn't bother if you're not in any kind of club or organization, they always make you look like a larper just because of the association to them even if they are cool looking
sexy
>>27601439i buy magnets of places i have been and put them on my fridge
>>27601637Uhh, its a 400 anon.
You think yamaha will ever make a t9 tenere with the cp3 engine?
>>27601672I'd rather they'd make a Tracer 10 with the cp4
>>27601652Uhh, Illya is 11 anon.
>>27601672Why would you want a heavier ADV?>>27601675CP4 will probably be the replacement for whatever replaces the FJR.
>track grom
>>27601702For crooosing brother
>>27601637Easily the prettiest 400 on the market right now. Triumph is having a really good year.
>>27601684She has the ushanka, she's either the Illya from Zero, who is 8, or the Illya from stay/night, who is 18.
Racing in the rain is super entertaining bros. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZ8cm4evXHk
>>27601637I'd still rather have the Himalayan 450 or CFMoto 450.
>>27601750>CFMotoLmao fuck off
>>27601750>CFMoto/dbt/ is chink free zone.
How bad is the grip on a rainy road? i am comfortable when its dry but i am slow as a turtle when raining. not sure how much difference there is and i dont want to find out the hard way
>>27601712How much cc can a bore-up get out of those engines?
>>27601750CFMotos fall apart if you look at them funny, at least the new Himalayan isn't terribly constructed (if you are to believe the dozen moto websites/youtubers that rode them in the actual Himalayas).
>>27601772> How bad is the grip on a rainy road?Depends on the tyre.On my shitbike with semi-knobbies I barely notice the difference between wet and dry. Cold vs warm, on the other hand, are totally different, almost zero grip at sub 5 C.
>>27601783> fall apart if you look at them funny
Today you're laughing but in a few years Chinese bikes will have the same reputation as Japanese ones.
>>27601772Depends on tyres, but general rules are>first 15 or so minutes are the biggest danger due to possible aquaplaning and oil rising to the surface>Avoid even the tiniest puddle whenever possible or risk a fuckhuge pothole, and your brain matter>if you're not wearing high-viz in a city environment you're better off waiting it out or risk getting rear-ended by a blind bat in a cage
Remember, while manga can provide a lot of information, nothing beats hands-on experience.
>>27601783>if you are to believe the dozen moto websites/youtubers that rode them in the actual Himalayas>fly in dozens of freeloader>get them cosy hotels and probably hookers>give them bikes you prepped and went over to make sure they work>have fun, gas is on us>encourage them on good reviews>another night on the house to celebrategee i wonder why
>>27601810Ok, Ryan
>>27601792Emphasis in "new", as in, the 2024 model>>27601810>Indian hookersWew lad, you gotta be brave for that one.Also, the reviews were far from perfect mate. Try reading them before spouting nonsense.
>>27601806How do I get my hands on Rin?
>>27601838Get your hands on a real woman instead.
>>27600975It's been snowing for two days and there's one foot of snow here. Motherfuck.
>>27601838First get your hands on a Busa.
>>27601845>3dpdNo.

>>27601783That triumph is a poo bike too. Just saying between all 3 shit bikes, id take the RE or cfmoto over the triumph.
>>27601852You can't touch a 2D woman, though.
>>27601887You’re out of your mind anon.
>>27601887For me: Himmy > Triumph > CFMoto
>>27601893i can print her out and start fondling

>>27601893Hmm...https://files.catbox.moe/6tuowr.webm
>>27601938Would you trust a jap in the 60's?
>>27601439Patches are fun and cute
Has anyone here actually rode/owned a Himalayan or one of the poo-made Triumphs?
>>27601944Only on denim, they look really gay on leather. Cute pussy though.
>>27601945Planning to test himmy 450 and v Strom 250 this weekend with my fren.
>>27601945There used to be a himmy poster some time ago
>>27601947Both are fun and cute :)
new?
>>27601945I tested the old himmy and scram. Both feel like fun shitbikes.
>>27601959Do post results!
>>27601971We're on page 3. It's a hassle doing it from my phone but I'll do it if no one else has by the time we reach page 9.
>>27600124It's not that easy for EFI bikes. EFI bikes have a fuel pump submerged in the tank, and you can't just install a T or a 3 way valve to join them together. You either have to manually siphon/transfer fuel from the aux. tank to the main one or install a transfer pump that you manually engage to transfer fuel from the aux. to the main tank.Just carry a jerry tank with proper mounting.
>>27601986But will you post your bike as op!
>>27601637the only thing I don't like about it, is the tacky dual exit pipe on a single. Should've just been a single exit pipe
>>27601783I actually rode a himmy in the Himalayas so weighing in:You could turn on the engine management light by hitting redline, and then off by doing that again.Every one I saw had blown forks and notchy head bearings Other than that, they were okay
>>27600503>His daily street bike was a 1978 KZ650Damn dude, that's almost the same bike as my dad's which is a CruiSeR650. May your dad ride in peace, anon.
Postin sunset Ducati for the last pic in this thread :)
>>27601945I was sitting on one of the triumph 400cc scramblers the other weekend. The quality absolutely shits on the himmys, it’s not even close.
>>27602234Looking to graduate from a hand-me-down chineseium scooter. Would you recc it as a first bike or is a 400cc Triumph better?
>>27602244
New >>27602306
>>27602257Don’t fall the himmy meme. Underpowered and built like shit.
>>27601797Solid tips but you forgot an important one:>avoid riding on road markings or manhole covers as these are very slippery when wet
>>27601783You are a genuine fucking retard if you believe this. If I had to be a goofy learner all over again, CFmoto over royal shartfield every single daySomeone get the pic of the shitter that blew up in 10,000km
