>>28203558Did you sell your viffer?2 Wheel Dyno Works called me. They located my ECU. It did in fact get shipped to some random, but he was gracious enough to call back and tell them he had an extra ECU in his box. So I should have it back in a few days.

Is lubing your clutch and throttle cables a meme, or should I actually do it? My clutch is a bit squeaky, but I think it's just the hinge rather than the cable.

My bike is a 150 I drove it all round my country. What should I upgrade to? Keep in mind I'm an absolute no self control demon and break every traffic law and speed everywhere (although my top speed is like 125km lol). I brought a 150 to not wrap myself around a tree but now I think I've got the self control for more power I'm thinking like a 300cc bike? I've been riding 5 or 6 months haven't crashed dropped it plenty of times and broken like 4 mirrors mostly learning how to wheelie lol but no proper crash.
>>28203850Yamaha R3 is the best sportbike in 300cc class
Let's be honest the klr 650 is a good bike. Im tired of complaints, the weight isn't that bad.If you want an adventure bike you get a klr 650 with some good nobby tires.Dirt bikes are small hobbyist toys meant to be hauled with a trailer by boomers and have no real use. This isn't mad max. You aren't going to be jumping dune hills and even if you could and were skilled enough to do so you really want broken bones and a medical emergency 50+ miles from a hospital?If you're thinking of dr650 might as well just get a klr for stability on the highway. You're already leaning into adventure territory weight. Might as well go all in with a klr. There's not much the klr can't handle. If other bikes can handle it but in limited scenarios its probably not worth attempting in the first place.

>>28203972I already tried motorcycling it was cool way alone in the mountains but my bike is totally wrong for it lol. I just strapped a bunch of shit to the back and rode with my hiking pack, good enoughWhat I actually want is more power, more speed.

>>28204039There is so much money in Thailand. Lots of rich fucks in Bangkok. I’m not one of them, I’m just a white dude that works here.>>28204040As much as I want to get rid of it because it costs $500 a month and it’s a pain in the ass to ride in Bangkok, it turns heads everywhere I go. Especially because I play Thai music over the speakers and the Thais go crazy for it.https://youtu.be/dZby0E-RChI?si=jIymC8NE11OvltYW

There's a 08 GS500 on FBM for only 2k. My first bike was a 98 GS500 and I loved it; but recently it got destroyed in a crash (woman turned into me without paying attention, etc). I want a new bike badly but I also want something "new" and stronger than a 500; but this 08 is in near perfect condition and at a cheap price too which I can afford outright.What do you think I should do?
I'm about to get $300 in gift cards for riding gear, as thanks for participating in a scientific study.I'm trying to think of what to buy with it. I hate getting geared up and down for my commute, so maybe something to make that easier?I'm thinking either some armoured chinos or some protective pants that go over the top of my work pants, any recommendations for something like that?
>>28204043See of you can find an old ninja 250 or 300. 40hp, redline 12k, top out about 170kph.Or if you want something more new get a R3.
>>28204092Do you know what baek would you like better than GS? Can you buy it now? No? Then go for that GS asap
>>28204098I don't know what bike I'd like more but have nearly zero experience on anything else. Rode a TU250x at my MSF course and my girlfriend just recently got an old Vulcan because she wants to ride too; which I've rode a few times but nothing seriously. Out of the 3 I vastly prefer the riding style/etc of my GS500.What would you all say is the "upgrade" to the GS500? Doesn't have to be a Suzuki brand but my options for buying are limited since a lot of the sellers on FBM aren't selling things I'm interested in or they're asking 3k for a used up piece of shit lol
>>28204095Really good riding bag? New jacket? New helmet? Riding boots? Other small stuff like a phone mount, better gloves, some small "mods" for your bike?
>>28204026What a horrible fucking bike
>>28204104The most important question is: what's your budget?If you had unlimited amounts of money you could get a brand-new GSX-8S or Hornet 750. But if that's too much and you definitely want a naked bike, have a look around for 650s. Things like the SV650/Gladius, ER-6N/Z650, CB650F (unlikely to find one at a good price) and the FZ-07/MT-07. Or you could try a chinabike. You might be able to get a decent price on a 650NK, and they're better than people give them credit for.
>>28204051
>>28204092Don't get another GS500.Branch out
>>28204072>>28204073>>28204075Faggot hipster shit

>>28204096I have the same feeling at times.My first bike was a (first gen) EX500.That was a very long time ago but I still feel like picking one up if I ever find one in good condition.Do it.
>>28204176do homies call their hood Nigass? no.
Which bike should you buy first and which one should you skip? For example you can start with a R3, and then skip an R7. Or you can skip the R3 and start with the R7. What is more reasonable and why?
>>28204187buy a bike and stop posting this shit every day
>>28204189What shit?
>>28204187>what first bike is gudThe one that gets you through the course.Get one and learn not to die.
>>28204203Riding motorcycles is easy. The question is which one will be fun enough for you
whats the coolest JDM bike that would have been amazing to have in the west and why is it the Yamaha SDR 200?
Best way to remove scratched from fairings?
>>28204225Blast it with piss
>>28204221They were available in the west as grey imports and pretty neat.You don't have that 25 year rule do you?
>>28204249nah but its still impossible to find any
>>28204221Saw one for sale a couple of months ago
>>28204221Yamaha = GOOD
>>28204255Put the word out that you are interested. My current transport was the result of "Find me one of these with this spec. Cash." hints.
>>28204064Nx needs a small beak or something.
>>28203982Here anonhttps://rideicon.com/the-ride/bikes/always-something
I have to install an adjustable windscreen on a dual sport today. It's got adjustment for both height off the front fairing, but also angle. Does anyone have either experince, text, or a video that goes over how much empty space to leave at the bottom of the windscreen along with the angle to use in order to get the cleanest air at head level? Most youtube videos I've seen just winged it, but a good starting point would be helpful.
>>28203807Anon the reason in addition to vtec pissing me off was also fairings are frustrating for a guy like meAlthough id make some exceptions, budget permitting, i dont really see it in the cardsBut i have my exceptions, we all do, hell id get the vfr1200f or x if i could find an x low kmsI just wish they made fairings that could dismantle without gay intricate connection points that make it feel like im handling a plastic piece of shit knockoff chynesium lego set instead of like a polymer handgun of beautyMaybe ill take the naked supersport pill >>28204026Wtf bmw usually has good resale valueR18 bros, not like this>>28204051>just a white dude that works hereHow do i do this, what do youndo bros?Also whats $500 a month? The financing? I thought you bought it? It burns thst much gasoline? Also hows thailand for cruising, i thought SEA were all tucktucks, scooters, low cc shitbikes and congested as fuck for trafficDo you have any cruising streamies with said music?>>28204064The new cb500x is based now that it has dual front disk brakesItd be nice if rallyraid made a factory option trim for extra monies like how other bikes get AdVenTuRe trim and grt bags n sheeeit>>28204073I want a machine gun mount for my viffer, maybe then ill keep itIs that from drabonballs zed?
>>28204288Nah, it's right in line with the old dominator. Just don't look too closely at the suspension travel or ground clearance.
>>28204393Full auto machine guns are big ghey
>>28204418If we're talking beltfeds, I respctfully disagree.
>>28204393>resaleBMWs in Thailand are marked up 100% due to tariffs. Fucking Obama.>500 a monthUSD. I financed it. I didn’t know how long I’d be here and didn’t want to buy the bike outright. Also thought I’d sell it in a year or so anyway.>howI got lucky and a mutual contact set me up with a corporate job they needed a foreigner for>cruisingThailand is one of the most dangerous places to ride/drive in the world. That said, I think the Thais drive fairly politely, they just break a lot of rules and the roads are shit. But I’ve done 12,000 km on this bike alone and have had maybe 3 close calls while at speed. I’ve been rear ended at very low speed 11 times in traffic lmao. Anyway, not bad when you keep your eyes up.
>>28204422All guns are ghey. Only scrubs and pussies need guns
>>28204423Your reddit is fucking gay.
>>28204339It's all just trial and error bud. You can get a pretty good idea at the exact point where the airflow coming over the windscreen is just by putting your hand up in front of you at like 30mph.
>>28204465Nah
I like my cb500x. It's just underpowered for me. It barely gets to 100mph even with no luggage on.
>>28204448> need
>>28204470>mphEww
>>28204470It's 45hp on a 450lbs bike, with gearing that works for some loose terrain. You're already doing better than the bigger dirtbike singles.
Practiced some standing whols last nightThey feel very different from seated
>>28204469Erm, yeah. We don't know how tall he is, the size and shape of his windscreen, or what bike he's riding. And even if we had all of that info we can't tell him exactly where to place his windscreen unless someone else in an identical situation has tried it.
>>28204643Wrong, kiddo
>>28204617>4:3My monitor says thanks
my bikes are in the room with me now. it's 11 degrees out.southern retards will say publix is better than wegmans, but i know the truth. you are gay.

>>28204716Just wondering. Do you guys think my little forced air cooled 150 will handle a 300 mile journey to bike week from South Florida? I wouldn't be using the highway but I would try to ride all day around 45. I probably won't do it but I really want to.
>>28204739This is the route I would take
>>28204739There's plenty of scooters at daytona. Do it!!!
>>28204744Why not take a1a up?
>>28204747Do they ride there? From how far?>>28204751I could. But I would be hitting every single stop light from here to port st Lucie.Although, I just noticed Google renamed a1a to Jimmy Buffet Memorial Highway so that does seem temping to make the detour over to the last half.
>>28204795Idk how many of um ride. I'm sure there's plenty who do. Lots of ppl from all over attend bone week. Just cut over after cape canaveral and ride it up from there. I'll be coming down from st augustine on a1a when I come down
I BOGUHT A BIKE BUT IM SCARED TO RIDE UUUUU

Can someone post link to the anime with the bike girls? Just saw the episode where blonde showed off her Suzuki branded butt and I want to continue
>>28204874No
>>28204321Oh shit, thank you
>>28204861I'll take it off your hands for $500
> Waiting on UPS to deliver replacement for broken turn signal> "Sorry, we missed you!"That would almost be a believable lie if I wasn't sitting right beside the bike in my front drive, with the cowl and wiring all taken apart, just so I can get the new turn signal in place.
>>28204043That's a sweet ride bro
>>28204874No. Anime stinks.
>>28204874>>28204874Gogo anime my, look for bakuon.The anime is pretty mid. The humor is lifted directly from the manga, but it works much better in panel form than animated. I'd say skip it and read the manga. Super Cub was the better anime if you want to stream moto slice of life.

Are there any good remote control mini-bikes you can toy around with? Like something that actually leans and all that? Thinking of buying one as a gift
Genuinely considering buying this thing for zipping around the city. ABS on the front wheel, can do 95km/h, about 90km range, 11kw, ABS on the front wheel only and I can take the batteries out for charging and most importantly the engine doesn't suffer when I do a 1.5km trip like an ICE engine does. Should help make my ICE bike live longer because it will no longer do short distances on a cold engine and make things cheaper for me to run because gas is 'spensive these days. Are there any better alternatives i'm missing? I looked at SuperSocos but CBS is fucking stupid. I don't want an ICE bike for this because i'll just ruin it with short trips, which is going to put unreasonable wear on the engine.
>>28205232A used 7.2 Zero will save you a couple grand and get you more power and range (especially as the 11kW restricted CE-02 has less range for some reason).
Will miss you, KTMhttps://youtu.be/UZFLrr_Jc80

>>28205359BMWs have an exclusive deal with CATL battery of China, they might be cheaper to replace.
>>28205232Just bend over a little bit more, daddy government hasn't gotten deep enough up your ass yet apparently.
>>28205232What's the point of ABS on something like this? I ride a sumo and like locking up the rear to skid around things, but I get that the rear is different. You really don't want to wash out the front. but is that a risk on a bike like that?
>>28205385ABS is now mandatory in AUS, the nannys are coming to get you.
>>28205390motherfuckers. Sometimes I feel bad for the aussies, but... nvm
ALL the gear ALL the time
>>28205390ABS is objectively a good thing, but I agree that it shouldn't be mandatory.>>28205232This actually looks really neato. I'm going to look into it further, it could make a lot of sense for my commute too.

>>28203543They stole it, bros. My 2006 VFR with 60,000 miles. My fucking 550lbs got tossed into a van by 4 people. This isnt some dual sport, dirt bike, sport bike, it was a fucking heavy ass ancient tech honda vfr and they went through the trouble of fucking taking it from me. I'm feeling more sad than anything right now. Cops took a report, but even they know its fucked. Dont even give a fuck about insurance. I put 45,000 miles on that thing myself and took me across 12 states. I'm done bros.
>>28205442>DaineseWell look at this bougie motherfucker.
>>28205626God damn, that heart breaking.I'm truly sorry my dude.
>>28205626Fuck bike thieves. Scum of the earth.
new year new whols
>>28205626Condolences. I hate thieves. Sounds like it's time to move to an area with more space and less crime since things will only get worse as the economy slowly tanks.
>>28205626My your VFR start to leak fuel in the thieves' house and have its ecu spark the battery burning down their house with them inside.Check online and get the word out to local dealers and scrapers, who knows they could be dumb as bricks and try and sell it. Then boom 12 gauge to the nuts.
>>28205442>75Just remember, you're spinning a tiny motor around 10k at that speed and I'm pretty sure all scooter tires are only rated to 62 mph for 10 minutes. Just be careful.
>>28205674Plenty, did it on the nicest road we could while it was all empty. Not planning on doing it again neither lol>>28205629>bougie I bought these secondhand for $200 .-.
>>28205353it’s really sweet man. I love the antifog airflow design and the visibility makes me feel like I’m not even wearing a helmet. it is however very loud. personally I prefer this as I like to hear as much of my engine and surroundings as possible, but a $100 full face from cycle gear blocks more noise than my simpson. just something to keep in mind if you’re planning to buy
>>28205678Are you going to mod it at all or keep it stock?
>>28205626Where was this and what color was it? I might be able to find it if you’re west coast.
>>28205684I would love to see weaponized autism get anon's bike back.
>>28205681Not mine but my buddy’s, he’s a real chill guy so I imagine he’s only interested in comfort mods
>>28205083Bridgestone Battlax A41 for heavy street bias. For a bit more trail riding and 10k+ kms of durability I can personally recommend the Heidenau K60 Scout. THE travel tyre, on and off pavement.

Fuck me, this thing costs $221 AUD. Even if I buy one second-hand on Facebook it's $150.Are there any decent alternatives or is this my only choice? I'm not willing to use a clip-type master link.
>>28205711Try a bicycle one. Might work. Or ask a machinist to make one for you. At 221$, you could probably get a CNC cut one. MotionPro pricing is fucking insane. I get that their stuff is quality, but its not THAT good.
>>28205711I had one of those that I gave to my little brother as he got into bikes and I gave up on crotch rockets, he immediately managed to break it and then lost it.
>>28205711I bought a motion pro chain tool like that back in 2018 and it literally exploded the first time I tried to do my cb900’s master link
>>28205626Hey man that blows, but for future reference there's theives who lift whole ass Harleys and fatass 1000+lb bikes by tossing them into the back of a truck. Theres only so much one can do. Try not to beat yourself up too much.
>>28205629I built a hanger for my suit this winter
>>28205385If I ride it in around freezing point, probably. >>28205364That's interesting. Might mean that BMW will switch to sodium based batteries some time soon. >>28205246yeah, but I have to charge that at a quick charger, right? I can't take the batteries out. Or is that the one that Fortnine featured years ago with the splitter cables and shit that cost 200 USD each?
>>28205711the only chain tool you should use is the D.I.D. KM500R. Yes, it is expensive. You might be able to find a knockoff for cheaper on Aliexpress. But I bought the official tool and easily used it to cut off my old chain (pin), press and rivet the new master link with ease on a Vstrom 1000.

>>28205316thats neither a 2-stroke nor does it weigh only 110 kg.Also just look how much you can see through that trellis frame on the Yamaha, god its so... graceful. Probably the best stock cafe-racer design ever.
>>28205738>dyke bffWeebshit has raised my standards over the years.
>>28205680>planning to buyNah. I'm poor and I like my new RWB helmet.Haven't tested it out yet. But they're about the same design it seems.Also got mine in sale iff revzilla. I'm upset they didn't send stickers though. Slack cunts.I'm getting a new faceshield for it next check to protect my suppleskin from evil sunlight
>>28205772Anime women are too frail to get into American bar fights though.
>>28204869I'm not ashamed to say I'd daily ride and travel one of these if it was based on a forza 750
>>28205795Getting into bar fights is dumb
>>28205711I've used the Afam chain tool. It's only good for peening hollow links and pressing links. It's £16.I use an angle grinder to break old links.

>>28205814Either you're 12 or think you live in an action movie. >>28205816Oh hay! It's this troll again. Gonna post more pics of other people's bikes and say they're yours?
I feel like I'm a retard for trying to buy a used bike online. Every bike I see is in dubious condition, asked for at a ridiculous price that I truly doubt anyone would buy at all, out of my price range entirely (or a bike I don't want regardless). And any time I find something I like, ask for a test ride or haggle a lower price (because their used up POS is obviously not worth the price), they don't even answer or say some shit like "price firm".What am I supposed to do? Honestly? I'm not going to waste my hard earned money on some jank shit that might break or die on me as soon as I leave their place
>>28205819I think I live in an action movie.
>>28205834Cool. Post a video of you getting brain damage when you're old enough to go to a bar
>>28205825I’ve only ever bought off fmp and craigslist and always just went with my gut and I’m 8 for 8 on good buys. try not coming off sketchy bc I will flat out block people that give me the ick when I’m selling so I’m sure it’s the same for others
>>28205733You can just plug it into a regular old mains socket, you're looking at about 5 hours at most to charge from flat to 100% (so most of the time a fair bit less). If you pick up one with the charge tank accessory then that's down to nearly an hour.
>>28205264you are a moron if you think they will actually disappear. They been broke before.
>tfw 7c+
>>28205843What are your search parameters than? Because if I search nearly 100 miles radius, all I see are the same bikes, the same used up pieces of shit, with the same retards who think a non-running project bike from literally 30 years ago is worth 3k.

okay bros I need some advice. I'm riding in the slush, ice, sand and SALT, and the bottom of my bike under the stock bash plate was already peeling and rusted when I got it. My idea was getting under there with a wire brush, knocking off loose bits of rust and chipping paint and putting on some layers of either wd40 or some grease until I can figure a permanent solution or until the roads are back to normal. Good idea? better ideas? I don't know what I'm doing just spitballing, don't want it to corrode even worse.
>>28205939>tfw rusty swing arm
>>28203734Not a meme its maintenance. Makes a big difference if cables are binding and sticky.
>>28205974Rinse it with water every day you ride. If you chip paint and brush it, you're just exposing more of the metal to the hostile elements and only a permanent coating is going to make it worthwhile. Wd40 will not stick around, and doesn't have the film strength to protect against salt anyway
>>28205949I can relate as a fellow flatland rat. Makes touring in summer even more rewarding.
>>28205949I don't think i'd have gotten into riding if all I could ever ride was flatlands.
>>28205997just water? I'll give it a shot
>>28206020The steel forms an oxide layer that prevents it from corroding more, but the salt and grit will make it much worse. Just rinsing it off really well will keep the salt from attacking the steel
>>28206007Sounds like you have a boring bike

I'm jealous of you Americans. You guys can just slap any exhaust and not care about noise and emissions. Meanwhile if I change exhaust and it's 1bd louder than stock if the cop feels like it he can impound my bike, apprehend my documents, and force me to go do vehicle inspection (+250€)

>>28206206Tenny would be nice too. The stock indicators are aids, though thats true of just about any bike. Pretty much anything wrong with them is cosmetic and can be fixed. Did they ever improve the forks or are they still the weakest feature of the bike?

Do you guys have any nice trips planned for the year? I’m trying to figure out what to do myself. Either north from Washington into canadia or around Europe. But Europe would likely be difficult to pull off
>>28206277I want to make the touratech rally this year because it just seems like a fun time and it's nearby. I missed the desert 100 last year because my van broke down, so this year I'll try to make it again. A WA BDR trip would be dope, but so far I've had little luck with planning one because I don't know anyone else that wants to go. I could go by myself, but it's more fun with others since it's otherwise not a challenging ride. The fun is in the trip
>>28206007How are your pictures on the phone so crispy?
>>28205825Facebook has worked twice for meGranted the second bike I bought was a bit meh it had old tires old break pads and either he or the mechanic had over tightened the oil tap, which was fucking annoying. But he did warn me about all that ahead of time. So I’d go with Facebook, people seem less dubious when it’s their name attached
>>28206283Pixel has some basic editing features that let you adjust brightness and contrast a bit. Most of the time it doesn't take much adjustment to get the high highs and low lows. The camera itself is actually quite good too
>>28206280Yeah I’m definitely looking to do the BDR but definitely not on my FJR. I’ll look into it for probably next year
>>28206291I see, to be fair I haven’t altered this one for instance in the slightest, but I always find my pics to be so dull. I only have an i13 so maybe that’s why. But still
>>28206277>tripsHELL YEAH BROTHER
>>28206183How are you finding the 8R so far?
>>28206337really awesome, wouldn't trade it for any other. But like I hint at in what I said, the sound is quite muted. homologated exhausts for it (euro5 compliant) are a rare, underwhelming and expensive thing so far
>>28206348Where do I live? Do your highway Jannies really care that much? I realize Texas is much different from some other places, but I've never had a cop question my exhaust on my bikes or cars in the 18 years I've been driving.
>>28206365in europe, I've had a friend get a ticket just for having the license plate a few degrees too inclined. they are really stingy here with bikes
I'm going to Thailand later this month. I ride a cb500x with no problems. Should I rent a big bike like a mt-09 to separate myself from the normies with their 125 scooters?
>>28206371Fag
>>28206371You do as the Romans do. If you can, try to rent a Honda, Yamaha, or kymco.
>>28206368Oof. Yeah, they'd give you a hard time then. I have the plates mounted at absurd angles on my bikes, but I did it with factory brackets removed from the tail fenders so it looks like it could've been factory if you don't really know what you're looking at. I wish I had been recording the time I got pulled over and the cop asked me if my plate was bent up. I said, nah I think it kinda just mounts there like that. He stared at it for a good 5 seconds and just said "huh" then walked back to his cruiser. Kek.
>>28206371If this really is your thought process and you're not trolling, you should kys. Next you'll be bragging online about how much Thai pussy you pulled for being a basic ass white dude in SEA.Sure, go ahead, rent an mt09 and make a target out of yourself.
>>28206206fucking MENACE
>>28206368Every time I feel jealous of Europeans for their gorgeous landscapes I am quickly reminded how much they are oppressed. I don't even have my endorsement (and never will) yet I sit in front of cops at red lights with no hassle. God it must suck over there.
>>28206407Where are you at that doesn't have nice places to look at?
I kinda want a T7 to go with my Tracer 9. But I've never been off road, only graded gravel/dirt roads, so I should probably get a smaller duel sport.
>>28206391This.I wouldn't even rent.I'd buy some pos from a local of whatever flavor moped was the most common in the area.When I left Thailand I'd literally leave it in the hotel parking lot with the keys in it.The last thing you want to do in a country known for corrupt cops if be a flashy foreigner.

>>28206595>>28206582Its a new harley, the rear is 130 wide currently. I was looking at the Michelin Anakee but they are only in 17, the type of riding I’m doing is a couple thousand km loop with stretches of hundreds of dirt kms. The battleax and trail wing are probably a bit agressive for this kind of stuff, and a mate doesnt rate his scorpions so will pass on those but I’ll have a look at the dunlops. Assuming I can fit it under the guard I cant really think of anything else that might be buggered going up a couple inches, the extra height is appreciated at this point so not miffed there.

After getting a job in December i finally have cash saved up to start fixing up my Ninja 500 i bought for $600https://sprocketcenter.com/i-30499718-520-chain-kit-steel-sprockets-with-choice-of-chain-kawasaki-500-ninja-87-09.htmlWhat would be the preferred sprocket size for a commuter bike?I have no idea what difference this makes, but i want it to have very linear power without too much torque in the low end
>>28206728did you get a ticket?story time?
>>28206771The EX500 is setup perfectly fine from factory.I wouldn't change the gearing.I commuted in california on one for 2 years and it does just fine on the freeway.It has plenty of top end and I wouldn't want to lose any of the bottom end.
>>28206701Had a full bagger harley come into the shop.Had this homemade retractable training wheel setup the guy put down at stop lights.He was paralyzed from the waist down.Couldn't believe it worked but apparently it did.
>What would be the preferred sprocket size for a commuter bike?The one from the factory
>>28206584If you're white you're making yourself a target.Getting mugged is the least of your worries.The average Thai despises westerners.You'll be fine in the tourist districts but once you get out of town and go for a nice ride through the country to "try out a different bike" you're going to feel like a lost army scout in Vietnam at the height of the Tet Offensive.

>>28206711Cant stop winning, except for when it comes to finding info on scrambling a hog it seems. Its super comfy on long cruises but the outback is a lot of frontier shit and dead empty dirt tracks so the standard config needs a bit of work for me. Im in the process of welding up a big skid plate, and if I can get some half decent shoes under her we’ll be in business. I have a dirt bike front fender I have to try mount somehow but thats the next problem
>>28207002I'd suggest asking Hotwing. He had an offroad harley
>>28207017Huh
>>28206735>>28206766>>28206814Yeah he wrote me a ticket for the plate, noted that it was intentionally mounted at an angle so that the toll cameras can't get it. Which is absolute conjecture.Also wrote me a ticket going 91 in a 60, when I was barely passing the other cars. I told him I try to just keep ahead of traffic a little for my own safety, but he didn't care. Told me to use lane positioning instead so cars can see me. Like, nigga are you serious? Starting to consider the dark side of riding. I figured he would write me a ticket for the plate and warning on the speed, but nope.Female cop pulls up next to him and starts in on some shit about seeing my bike on the toll road before, they watch the cameras apparently. I haven't ridden that bike on the toll road in a hot minute though, but it could have easily been mistaken for another bike.
>>28207033>not having a bike so cool the cop just wanted to ask about it>not riding to the nearest motel with the female cop on the back
>>28207053The cop mentioned he had a motorcycle license but said nothing about a bike so I'm going to assume he couldn't hack it as a rider and is now jelly of those who can.
>>28207033>Female cop pulls up next to him and starts in on some shit about seeing my bike on the toll road before, they watch the cameras apparently. I haven't ridden that bike on the toll road in a hot minute though, but it could have easily been mistaken for another bike.This was a lie, they just say shit like that to everyone dude. "Yeah bro your friend already ratted on you about it all, so might as well tell your side to us now." "Not so fast bud, we have been following you for weeks and know it all, better just admit to it now in front of my dash cam here, judges put a lot of weight on honesty you know."
>>28207086I didn't know if she was making it up or not. I know they can watch the cameras but to what extent they do, I don't know. I didn't admit to do anything of course. Not my first traffic stop.
>>28207099They lie ten million times for each truth. It was total BS trying to get you to admit to shit.
>>28207033>Female cop pulls up next to him and starts in on some shit about seeing my bike on the toll road before, they watch the cameras apparently. I haven't ridden that bike on the toll road in a hot minute though, but it could have easily been mistaken for another bike.One thing I leaned having a government job, cops and people in authority talk out their ass all the time. With most of them there is nothing you can say to convince them they're wrong. Its not even their job to be 100% right. They just have to think their doing the right thing to the best of their knowledge of the law. From what I learned is part of their training. I have found the best thing you can do is give them ID, state your name, and whatever but nothing else. Be fake nice but just don't give them anymore rope to hang you with.One time I was pulled over and after exchanging a few words the cop and I just stared at each other for like a solid 10 seconds. He was trying to get me to dig my own grave with my own words.
>>28207107People talk out their ass all the time, regardless of job.
>>28207110No one has made it into their core ethos like cops.
>>28207107I know what to say and what not to. He got me on radar with the speed, so that's a dead end in court. Figured I'd try to talk my way out of it. It's worked before, but not this time. As for the plate, they can say whatever they want, try to accuse me. I just play dumb if I know they have nothing. "Yeah, I really don't know, it was like that when I bought it, not really sure. Guess I'll have to figure something out of you say it needs to be more visible."I've been pulled over by the same cop before and they remembered me, so now that's a concern and I'll have to do something with the plate.
>>28207116>I've been pulled over by the same cop before and they remembered me, so now that's a concern and I'll have to do something with the plate.You may want to take it easy in your home town.
>>28207116get a new bike and helmet and lose/gain some weight
>>28207126Not my home town but I am in this area quite frequently. Yeah. Honestly this one was my fault. I saw him on the on ramp getting on. He didn't pull out, then I sped up. I should have stayed at the limit longer and watched him but I didn't. Cops in this area usually don't care, I've passed lots of them no plate speeding and they never pull out. I was just kinda lax in my observation of the cop and assumed he wouldn't pull out after I had gone a ways. Lesson learned.
>>28206983Ya it wasn't much of a differenceGen 2 lost a couple mph at the top for slightly more grunt down low (all on paper).I had an "89 (1st gen) and replaced my rear a couple times but always went with the stock size.Even riding doubles you can still take most cars off the line.Either choice is fine but I wouldn't go beyond those 2 factory offerings (I think it's literally 1 tooth).
>>28207196And I don't remember tooth count.That was a dozen bikes ago.
