I succeeded brehs, my brother in law boughted a vstronk 250. Suzuki shill sisters, we won.
Someone really likes my picsI'm tickled <3
This new livery is awesome. Probably even better than a classic one
>>28725732>>28725731Why would anyone buy an R7 when for the same price you can buy an MT-09? For just 1k more you're getting much more of a bike. Genuinely asking, who's the target audience for the R7?
>ethanol-free gasoline>5 beersreally makes you shink. think.
Brehs, should I buy cardo Spirit or Spirit HD? Probably going to be riding alone, its for calls and music. I have moto frens but none of them own any intercom.
>>28725735>Why would anyone buy an R7It's a new thing and it fits lots of peoples use cases. Boring I know but true. They needed an R9 but Yamaha lovesss drip-feeding the Us. It's like a game. >>28725745>cardoBit the bullet and buy the Edge. Buy once cry once type scenario.
>>28725749I saw a few idiots suggest spirit and conference on discord or just plain phone call. The range is going to be insane. All my ffrens own $2k to $3k bikes, I can't see any of them buying cardos.
>YammieNoob said a Honda CB750 is 10 out of 10 >he never rated anything 10/10 before
Brehs, if I plan on doing gs experience like offroad exercises at home, do I need an enduro boot or is an adventure boot like Gaerne Dakar adequate? F850GSA btw.
Do not feed (you)s to R7 posters, R9 posters and YammieJew posters. You have been warned.
>>28725764Hasn't ridden an old M63 Ural
>>28725772I know a guy who bought one in a mint condition and it died twice in a few months
>>28725386Thank you wise shoomer>>28725387Yeah that's the stuff right there.
>>28725707I didn't even know Suzuki made a 250 Pstrom.The bike almost looks too big and heavy for a 250.
>>28725810>368.172lbsOh, so it IS to heavy for a 250. Why wouldn't they just design something like an xt250 and throw some wind protection on it.
>>28725707Hoping for your sake you're not a thirdie.
>>28725783Is that guy me?Honestly I'd say user error, M63s are fairly sturdy if you know your way around them. It's no flathead, but they're not as bad as the latter M67-36s and 8.103
>>28725806He is not wise atleast not until he talks to his lawyer.
>>28725839SHOOMER IS A REBEL IN THE FDGhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CK4QwwiQVBY
>>28725846Canadian police are going to catch him and prison him. Then you know what happens in prison.
>>28725810Its not a pstrom, its a thumper. I've test ridden it and I just fell in love with it. Its just so good, IDK what is good about it, but I like it a lot.
>>28725820I am a thirdie desu.
>>28725735Pisstwins are great for poorfags who want to ride hard. Less fuel consumption, cheaper maintenance, tires last way more... And you can commute on a r7 if you don't have back problems
>>28725817Its heavy if you compare it to Honda CB300R. They could've done better. IDK why he didn't even test ride a himmy 411 and 450. He was just so set on Suzuki, not complaining, but ok. He tied gb350 and vstrom 250 and chose the 250.
>>28725766Bump
>>28725764that's Anna43rr, hotest motorcycle chick
>>28725877>hotest motorcycle chickNot nihon, try again.
>>28725877would
>>28725877>>28725896This is some SEA third world garbage cunt
I'd like to travel 3k miles on a supersport. How fucked am I gonna be? Would it be more suitable for such a long ride than an XSR700?
>>28725911Put a pillow on the seat
>>28725900she's from Spain
dbt patron has spoken
>>28725871>He was just so set on SuzukiSuzuki for live baby
>>28725912I'm worrying about the riding postion
>>28725877thats wrongits Captain Rena
>>28725916She looks like she's from Spain.
>>28725631Thank you for noticing. It's a shame these huge container ships obliterated the view.
>xhe need more
>>28725856>its a thumperSo it's a Strom
>>28725764Yammie doesn't know shit, he admitted to never having ridden anything older than 90s bikes, like 70s/80s bikes. He was talking mad shit about how shit flat engines are for bikes without even knowing about the GoldWing. All his hot takes are noob takes
#e-celeb #drama
>>28726018That was a long-lived series of bikes.>>28725764>yammieCan we not?
>>28725900Nobike and blind as well.
>>28725856>saree guardHell yah, brother!
>>28725856>made in chinashould probably be a hanging offence for a japanese compnay
>>28725820>250ccAnons you should remember this already. Displacement on a local market usually depends on the local motorcycle licenses. In the EU it's 50, 125, ~500+cc. In the US bikes are usually sold with 300cc+ because reasons. Everything else is basically thirdy countries where you buy 250cc to feel like a king among 150cc plebs.
>>28726063The ThumperStrom 250 is sold in New Zealand and stuff so I was hoping that anon was from there or Australia, but I guess he's just brownoid.
>>28726053Made in Japan should be a hanging offence for a Chinese, Korean, or American company. Or person, for that matter.
>summer time pics are over this year>winter time pics to comeIt's an abstract kind of feel
>>28726090im gooning for christmas
>>28726066>brownoidYes, those famously unattractive brown people from India.
>>28726108Bruh we have indians living in our countries for the last thousand years, we know the looks.
>>28726113>no motorcycle contentkys
>>28726117My bad. Let's talk about maxi scooters then. Why the fuck do they cost like a big motorcycle? I'd like to ride something like a Honda X-Adv with a bigger motor, but it's economically not viable.
>>28726113but until recently indians have been a minority. now they're everywhere you look.>>28726119good question. maybe the complexity of the automatic transmission and access to serviceable parts is more complicated on a scooter so more time/labour is required.
>>28726119maxi scooters are like the lamborghini of motorcycles so it makes sense that they're more expensive
>>28725702Vital non-boring ramp update. The bike is due back from the shop tomorrow with its new tires, brake lever, generator, repared front axle and speedo. So have gone all out and finished the last ramp bits and any day now will be able to spend all day riding in and out of my house.Last bit was sliding 2x4 pieces under where the cross beams go then running long screws through all three pieces of wood. [cont...]
>>28726149...Also painted the underside. Had masses of paint left over from the decking paint+beach sand ramp surface so might as well use it. No fucks given about using OSB. Doesn't get wet and well supported underneath. Designed to fit snuggly in my (dry) trailer.I have promised my son he can ride it in 2027 so there is basically 1 year for me to get good, do 'A' test then buy something bigger and louder. Need to practice every day unlike self-limiters who can afford to wait until spring.I need to get to a point where this is all a natural to me as the pedal bike. It isn't yet. I am conscious that my road awareness is much worse, I think due to wearing a helmet and having mirrors instead of looking around me and hearing the shape of what is behind. Maybe less practical when routinely over 20mph.Thank you for reading my blog. More adventures to come hopefully not of the wooden variety as that is Complete.
>>28726151>the shape of what is behind.When you ride a motorcycle, in comparison to a bicycle, you worry more about what is in front of you than what is behind you because you're always moving forward and away from traffic. The ramp looks good.
>>28726149What is the ramp for?
>>28726149>>28726151we ramppostin now? here's ours. you hit it this tall way if you're cool.
>>28726203What is the ramp for?
>>28726211jumpin bikes mang the hell do you think
>>28726219Well I can recall this Anon >>28726149>>28726151 mentioning that he just wants to store his bike inside his house because he lives in a rough neighbourhood.>jumping>not even 1 foot highGotta start somewhere I guess.
>>28725702how do you fix a crate like that to your bike? any recommendations for adding luggage to a naked
>>28726181For getting the bike up my three front steps. Last time I tried with a shit aluminium ramp it slipped, I bottomed the bike and snapped the brake lever. There is a corner at the top so it really needs the full width of the door to manouver. Also needs to rest on each step underneath to not to slide about.It is built but not yet used in anger. Soon.>>28726159>When you ride a motorcycle, in comparison to a bicycle, you worry more about what is in front of you than what is behind you because you're always moving forward and away from traffic.Hmm. That's true. It was at roundabouts particularly with things coming from all angles. That was when I thought I was really putting myself in danger. I should do a tour of the Selby Bypass. That is roundabouts the whole way and really get good at it.On a bicycle I know my limits via the speed dynamics of slightly uphill (slow) or slightly downhill (fast) but I don't have the same instictive feel for it motocycling.
>>28726223>t. painfully literal autismmy kids and the neighborhood kids take their pedal bikes on it bro. I don't think it would support the weight of me on a motorcycle, and if i broke it they'd be sadwe have a couple ohv areas here with some decent jumps for the klx, not that i'm catching huge air or anything, but yeah
>>28726251>it's a bicycle ramp>in /dbt/>>>/n/
>>28726203Nice. Minimalist. Would never work for me though as I have sharp turn at the top. I need a maximalist ramp.
>>28726235
>>28726257i dont want something permanenti want stuff like picrel, maybe some small bag that hangs from my handlebars, etc
>>28726254>t. noramp climbletjokes aside though it's pretty scary to ride a bike over it
>>28726258>i dont want something permanentWhy are men so afraid of commitment?
>>28726259tell me more about these sexy kids of yours. is the youngest one seeing anyone right now?
>>28726261>stock fenderno way
>>28726235I see a Bungie and a passenger grab strap>>28726258Cargo nets rule. You can also zip tie a crate to the passenger grab handle if you have one. Plastic zip ties are the traditional way to fasten a milk crate to a baiku.
>>28726261thats a man
>>28726272Don't you wish you were a man?
bdr seems really cool. i'm trying to convince some of my boys that we should all get dualsports and do motocamping.
>>28726276motocamping sounds cool but i'd rather do mototouring and sleep in motels.
>>28726108lmfao, is that image supposed to be anywhere near attractive people.
>>28726265
Tried to start my HAWG this morning but it wouldn't turn over. Kept pressing the button over and over until it started clicking and my lights faded. I think it only got down to like 27 degrees, I thought battery was supposed to be fine as long as it's not freezing. Should I just get a new battery? Or should I get a charger for it and go at it again?
>>28726278i think the way to do it would be to stop at motels every other day or every couple of days so you can sleep in a real bed and get a hot shower and stuff. but i do have the brain disease where i actually enjoy getting woken up because my tent is a thousand degrees and it's 900 am.also i've not been looking that much but it seems weird to me just how few dirt road routes there are. i know there are loads of fire roads and stuff but i wish there was a resource for all of this stuff. a lot of the stuff locally i've had to hunt and find myself.
There's a 1982 CB900 Custom near me, the weird-ass honda that has a ten speed transmission, shaft drive, etc. Going for a thousand dollarsI''m a bit suspicious because I know what kind of maintenance hell they can be, but it seems to run just fine. For a thousand bucks, should I just do it?
>>28726289Get a charger on it first before replacing but I have a random question, what viscosity oil are you using?
>>28726296let my digits decide:if dubs you do, if singles you don't.
/adventure/
>>28726296>Dual range transmissionNeat>>28726299Based
>>28726300why do you post this same image over and over? did this woman cheat on you or something?
>>28726306I'd like to take her on an /adventure/ if you know what I mean.
>>28726297No fucking clue sir, I just bought it. Had a few fun rides so far no issues until today. Repair order from sales looks like it says>bel-ray v-twin motor oil 1lt 2>L70-03 oil scrn/pmp o-rngIt also says "bike would only run on choke" but it basically only starts on choke. And what does on choke even mean? With choke pulled out? With choke pulled in? How do these people repair vehicles without basic English? Maybe saying it a certain way is standard practice but it's all new to me. Am I going to have to buy a charger or would an autopart store or midas have one that I could use?
>>28726299guess I'm buying it, thanks
For those that have used up Bakuon!!! there is Watching. Unusual 1980s romantic comedy about motorcycles and bird watching. It isn't as single-minded as Bakuon!!! but it's nice. There is no race mixing or lesbianism. Nothing nasty. And probably 50% is on motorbikes, usually the hero's pre-war AJS.There is loads of it on Youtube. This is episode 1.https://youtu.be/fMObtbQj7OM
>>28726310'on choke' is a common way of saying 'choke pulled out'. Choke isn't always a lever you pull in or push out on other bikes. Also get a battery tender for next time. Battery tenders don't just keep your battery at the right voltage but keep it warmed up so cold doesn't affect it. Then think about getting a lithium ion battery when you got the cash
>>28726272I don't think it is. Looks just like this mischling girl I used to go out with. I think that's a she just a bit neandeethal around the shoulders and hips.
>>28726310I only asked about the oil because a lot of vtwin oils are 20w-50 and that viscosity really doesn't like going lower than 0c/32f
>>28726329I've got it in a storage unit, no power for a battery tender. If I try to start it again, am I going to damage anything?
>>28726341So it's just a fucked situation probably and I should just hang it up until spring? Maaaaaaannn>You could do a winter oil changehmmmmmm
>>28726286Not if you only like bimbos.>>28726297It's a HAWG so I'm gonna guess he's using straight 90-weight in the oil bag. Why?>>28726296Minus:Petcock riveted together so it's a replace rather than a rebuild part. The one you are looking at probably already has a replacement.Wacky generator instead of alternator will eventually need new carbon brushes (still available through old jap bike specialist websites)ComStar wheels.Pros:Four-valve air cooled engine, something the other manufacturers really couldn't pull off.ComStar wheels!!!
>>28726323>no race mixing or lesbianismSome people don't know what's good.
>>28726296>$1k bidenbux (value in USD $0.25>something neatbuy it.
>>28726278how about mototouring and then camp when eepy
>>28726108dude looks like he got synthol in his biceps and his cheeks. >>28726254>>>/i/
>>28726344If it turned over previously and sounded as if there was no resistance, then there's no harm in damaging anything in attempting to turn it over again.
4hr ride today at 3c brrrrBeen booked out for 2 days of lectures.
>>28726356>Wacky generator instead of alternator will eventually need new carbon brushes (still available through old jap bike specialist websites)That's promisingWhat about the strange drive shaft and chain it uses to transfer power across the bike, to the rear wheels?
>>28726498>rear wheels>bike>wheels>plural>bikeAnon.
perfect weather for riding in florida
>>28726363>>28726356I'll give him a call in the morning. He still seems to have it but I think $1000 for reliable transportation that goes 85 on a dime isn't going to last very long if I don't act.
>>28726504Ok fuck, but you know what I mean, right? It's a very mechanically complex system. He claims he's never had a problem with it because it's a hondr and all of its components are bulletproof, his only problem has been minor wear parts like the brake disc which, like most things, he gets from one of three parts houses for hondas. Most of everything else is still manufactured for it because it shares parts with other models.
>have been looking for a f650gs dakar for a few months now>very rare in my parts>fucking Fort9 just did a video fellating the damn thingOf course. Of fucking course.
I always wanted a nineT and finally pulled the trigger a month ago, its a 2019 pure with 7k miles, full service history at dealer, it felt weird at first but I got used to it, its a wonderful machine, I was wondering if you could give me some advice>wheels/tiresthis one has spoke wheels with a tube, all my previous bikes have been tubeless and running a tube kind of gives me anxiety, would you recommend converting it with outex or something like that? also it still has its original tires from 2019, which means tires are at least 6 years old, should it be a priority to change them?>protectionI knew what I was getting into when I got a boxer bike, I know there is no protection that would save the bike at higher speeds, but I was thinking about tipovers, I saw there are some nice looking "protectors" that go over the cylinder heads and "engine bars" that seem to be better at protecting look like shit>servicesshould I invest in stuff/tools to do my own services (including the GS-911 tool) or should I just go leave the bike at the dealer once a year? (services are not that expensive in the third world)
>>28726519I think you should buy it before someone else does and arrange to pick it up from the seller's home. Then you can politely remind them that you know where they live and will be back if you find any major faults with the bike. Make sure you do this while looking directly into their eyes with the piercing glare of a serial killer to drive the point home. Enjoy your new bike!
I was getting hammered by wind almost got a tank slapper, out a couple of notches on the rear preload and it got more stable. How? :3c
>>28726520yea im buying one in your area right now
