>>28214018My new bike that I bought last week. My first adv bike
>>28214018thank you for baking>>28214031nice
Pouring lemon juice on my papercut again.
>>28214055>Pouring lemon juice on my papercut again.You want that FZ?Put.In.The.Work.
>>28214070Work is lame
Although this is last winter, it looks about the same outside right now. Got in a good 2hr ride during lunch for the first time in over a week
Post teneres
>>28214018I want more motorbikes but dont want to pay more registration
Anyone else take their bikes down roads they aren't "supposed" to go? Went shooting today, didn't want to take the car or truck. A rough caliche road with heavy washboarding, sections of large stones, and sand. Overall did better then I thought but basically never left first gear.
>>>28212823>>>28213052I was being a bit glib, its actually attached to the frame with ratcheting hose clamps rather than welded directly onto the bike so I can still access the drain plugs, definitely looks like the shed build it is but should work good enough. I’ll grab some pics on the weekend when I finish it up.
>>28214094Once. It was scary
>>28214094you bet
>>28214094Hell yeah brother
>>28214094roads ?
>>28214109
>>28214104Best color harley
>>28214112Grazie. The colour was an accident, it was just the bike they had in stock the day I wanted to buy. I planed on painting it taliban tan when I finish doing the body work to it but the more I look at it the more I like it.
>>28214112I prefer the rootbeer color
>>28214094I took a stock base V-Strom 650 down a shitty muddy dirt road and across a long series of steel plates and decided never to do that again.
>>28214082Here u go
Was fortunate enough to have my Slingshot displayed at a local bike show recently. Boomers were miring. Feelsgoodman.jpg>>28214104This geography looks distinctly Australian. Where you at mate?
>>28214152>Boomers were miringI'd be miring too, that's a sweet bike bro!
>>28214155Thanks brother, its a labour of love.
Just watched a cool bike chase liveThey ended up getting away.https://www.youtube.com/live/fSOLt9ISIrc
What's his ride?
>>28214166assault kawasaki
>>28214152Yeah mate we have a pretty recognisable vista haha. These pics are outback NSW the far side of Nyngan, I’m more coastal but tour all over. Hot zook, is that the daily or one of the collection?
>>28214174One of two at the moment. I daily the Suzuki in winter but I'm not game to boil it in traffic during summer here in Brisbane. DESU neither really come into their own as commuters haha.
I want to ride my bike tomorrow but there is still some dry salt dust caked on the roads. It's gonna be 37 and with my heated gear it will feel like a spring day. Will the salt cause damage?
>>28214185I've seen the slingshot before but I don't think I've seen the aprilia before?
>>28214187Yeah I don't post it as much in here. Honestly its getting less uptime these days. Can only ride one at a time after all, but I can't really bring myself to sell it.The sound is really what makes it, and its good to have a modern bike for when the zook shits it, even if its Italian.
>>28214185I feel you I’m not far south of Brisbane and keep buying air cooled bikes because I’m retarded. I cooked my old Ural a couple times getting caught in traffic when its fucking 45 before the heat comes back off the bitumen. Usually just ride faster to keep cool but fuck if Brisbane doesnt have the worst drivers in the country. I’d be sketchy trying to maintain breezing speeds in that shit too, no idea how you fuckers manage to gridlock a five lane highway every day but its an art form. Great looking shed both top options for blasting to the beach for a perve.
>>28214186Seppo problems, this is an ocker thread now.
>>28214195I know man its tough, I'm the same way, aircooled bikes just have so much sovl. Nice hog by the way. Dad sold his XR1200X right from underneath me recently and I'll never forgive him for it.
>>28213986Thailand has two standards for helmets, one for motorcycles that is similar to DOT as far as protection, and one for 50cc scooters only that is the same but half the impact energy (one drop instead of two) and is mostly similar to CPSC Bicycle standards. Guess which standard ALL Thai helmets are made to....So bring your own helmet or drive slow.
>>28214202Sorry to hear mate my condolences, any dad who sells a bike or car without offering it to the son is going into a home. Doesn’t matter what shitbox it is or in what condition thats just not cricket
>>28214203Why not instead buy a cheap yet decent rated helmet if possible? LS2 FF352 for example is a cheap helmet with a 4/5 rating by sharp, and for renting a shitty scooter over there, it will be more than plenty since those dont go that fast.
>>28214202Heres the offending ural, she gave me too many issues to be my only bike and eventually I managed to leave her but I did absolutely love her when she was being good to me.
>>28214164Extremely based it was like a play in 5 acts
>>28214222Unfathomably based. Good thinking censoring the doge never can be too careful these days
>>28214186Just wash it off bro
>>28214228Ta, little fella doesnt understand much beyond eating and sleeping and being a good boy so gotta look out for him.
>>28214166Kek I also came here from that police chase thread. Now I want a dirtbike and some diverse biker bros.
>>28214245dualsport or dirtbike is a lot of fun, anon
>>28214245What board?. Anyways, welcome!
>>28214070I can't even find one.
>>28214252>dualsportYes, I like this little guy right here. A friend of mine had one but replaced it with a honda moped instead.
>>28214266Why don't you get a FZR instead? Aren't they more readily available?
>>28214245So did they start hopping fields an riding transmission lines to get away from the cops or what?
Totaled my car last week, saving money, saw the fuel efficiency of motocycles and want to make the switch, still need to get a class m but confident in my ability to get it, question: which would be better, Honda Grom or this Chinese Copycat I found for 1800 new: Vitacci Vader
>>28214222Nice Mosin. Finnish make by chance?
>>28214195I know which highway you are talking about and I swear its faster to go on adventure through the industrial parks at peak hour.
any frens itt rn? >>28214303hey
>>28214164>They ended up getting away.Welp, guess California will be mandating a wifi kill switch in every vehicle to pass inspection next year.
>>28214322look for around for a z125. a lot less demand for them compared to grom and you can find nice deals. the MSRP is like $3600 but you can find deep cuts this time a year for them. one near me listed at $2300. get the chink bike if it is just going to be a temporary ride.
>>28214321Kek, they couldn't follow the damn train.The police called off their ground units and just followed them using the helicopter. A group of bikers filled up at two gas stations, then got away by hiding under a bridge.
>>28214321They were livestreaming on IG and some genius told them to go next to the airport because of the no-fly zone.
>>28214094To be fair, Harleys are shit on every road so it probably doesn't make a difference
>>28214296Just not the same.
>>28214367Got something against Deltabox and radial tires?
Got my shit squared away for an actual break this weekend, and now it's going to be in the 10-20s F. Any of you guys manage ridng highway speeds in that cold wind, and if so, how many layers did it take?Also, regarding winter gloves, aomeone at work mentioned snowmobile guantlets, but is there a more nimble option? I see gloves with 70/100/200g thinsulate ratings, but I have no idea how much freezing wind those will hold up to or if they kill any dexterity.
>>28214094I have genuinely thought about taking my 2022 Tracer up the Dempster Hwy to Tuktoyaktuk. Not saying the Tracer isn't made for it, but its defiantly not optimal. I live on the Gulf Coast so 2/3 of the trip would be pavement anyway. Every type bike has been up there, including FJ09's. The whole highway is graded for Semi-trucks but gravel, construction, and mud are a concern. There are 17inch dirt tires I would need bring/ship ahead to get changed to near the start of the highway. I've thought the whole thing out and would camp the whole way there and back. I will need to DIY fab a gravel guard for the bottom to get what I want for the trip. This is probably something I would attempt in 2026 at the earliest.I have also thought about buying a different bike, like a used T7 or AT. But I think it would be cool to do it on a newer Tracer and document the whole thing.
>>28214334Would these compact bicycles be at all capable of traveling between cities? Not often or for touring but say I wanted to take a trip out of town would it be viable to do on say a grom, z125 or other such bike
>>28214383I reckon it would be pretty miserable and pretty scary at times. You want on demand torque on the highway so you can teleport away from cagies trying to merge into you.
>>28214323Its actually a 1921 Lithgow SMLE some codger chopped in the 70s or 80s. Nearly every farm shed in the country would have one around somewhere they were our service rifle for yonks, good enough for killing krauts back then and its sure as hell good enough for pigs and dogs amd deer now. >>28214326I’m sure youre right, last time I tried that in a car though the fucking road was flooded and washed out and the lazy cunts didn’t bother to put up a sign on the first 5km of the single lane road so there was no way to tell until it was too late. Not even our politco class boil my blood like driving in fucking Brisbane does haha
>>28214376Wear a bally or a bandana the neck cold is worse than finger cold. Singlet, shirt and jacket gets me by, legs matter less but thermals not a bad idea. Heated gloves pay for themselves on the first ride and theyre pretty cheap now, but you’ll have to tell your dad you’re gay so maybe watch out for that hidden cost of the heated gear transaction.
why dont they make harleys like these but with modern technology anymore?
>>28214435This is exactly how Harley have been operating for their whole life, what do you think a current year Harley is? If you want super modern technology you can even get a liquid cooled hog and be frowned at by Harley fags
>>28214166Looks like 92 YZ
>>28214330Cops here don't bother with chases here like they do in your fly over police state.I've ran so many times on Minecraft
>>28214446>I've ran so many timesonly thing you run is cock, into your ass
>>28214435Because they're gay
Wish i never learned to ride on a rebel 500 and moved to harleyswish i could have gotten on an r7 or a fireblade by now, what a fucking waste of time and money on harley tax.Harleys are worth half of the MSRP
>>28214448Stale replyKeep seething flyover.>>28214448Anyways, I haven't been here in a while.Is my boy Chadfe still around or did he actually die?
>2 yousthanks, cunt
My dick is tiny, like microscopic. I gave up meeting women because inevitably the 4th or 5th date would come up and that was it.What's a good bike for me?
>>28214451Honda has some cool cruisers, and Yamaha has a BOLT-R if you wanna look less gay (get a V-Max)
>>28214457The one you have with you
Imagine only having flat roads with """state troopers""" that chase you like their lives depended on it. Oh and you can't ride year round.Seriously. Why even bother. Pathetic
>>28214443Nice find broWhat a machine
>>28214245the green and white bikes look huge for some reason.
>>28214006>they're made to orderWhat is the company? Do they do the carriers in OEM style?And those shocks look nice too
>>28214478They were, the blue one was not a full size MX bike.
>>28214487I see. Thank you.
>>28214082love me 'eneresimple as
>>28214094Its hard to find a road the Tenny isn't made forIf there is no gate, I will explore where the road goesIf the gate is open, I will explore where the road goesIf the gate is closed, find a way around, I will explore where the road goesWhat are they gunna do? Shoot me?

>>28214599honestly much cooler>pity about the ADV bike engine
>>28214185>>28214195Melbourne here, so not quite as hot as Brisbane but we still do get a few +40C days. My advice is that above 34C you want to minimise airflow, because that's the point at which you no longer get convective cooling. So don't wear a mesh jacket, and having a big windscreen helps a lot. I'm quite comfortable during my 1hr commute on 40C days because I dunk my shirt in the sink before I leave. It stays damp and keeps me cool for the whole ride home.
>>28214599No amount of 90s sticker kits will stop this from being a shadow of the bike it replaced. It doesn't even have a proper alloy beam frame ffs.
>>28214602I'm not worried about myself so much as the bike. Its an oil (not water) cooled, highly strung engine and the bike is fully faired so sitting in traffic in 40C just kills it. It needs cold air running through those intakes at high speed to keep it cool.
>>28214604Honestly, I wish they called it "RZ 700R".Also imagine having ATV with the CP2 engine called BANSHEENo idea what were they thinking
>>28214609Its such a cynical age we live in now. They're leveraging their sporting heritage to pump out tarted up commuters. I get that the sport bike market isn't what it once was and that they have to cut costs but that doesn't make it any less depressing. People don't even seem to realise just what it is what it is that we've lost either. Everyone's happy to settle for this shit. I get that this is me having an 'old man yells at cloud' moment but I don't even care.
>>28214605Thumpers, aircooled V-twins, and boxers are the best for dealing with heat and low speeds.
>>28214619According to my mechanic bros, he sais that this year and last has been some of the worst in salesHis friend worked amateur hour stealership and said it almost bankrupted him taking on inventoryAlso thr used market is saturwted with unsold shit, heres hopin the viffer gets solded this seqsonIm also at a crossroads with what to do financially; trugg pill - and with that gas job or diesel, and then theres the buy property somewhere niceI got the insider scoop on a potentisl real estate dipp close to grizzly bear country, mite b cool if it happens in a year or teo
>>28214626>what to do financially>buy property somewhere niceI've been putting off buying a new bike/gear for years because I can't afford to buy a homefuck this world man
>>28214619>>28214626Well, Yamaha knows better. They actually had to invest in the new engines; it wasn't easy. The other manufacturers are still using 25-year-old inline 4s and reassembling them in Thailand.I guess they saw how supersport sales went down, how successful and beloved the SV650 was for more than a decade, and how the Triumph Daytona outperformed classic supersports with its triple engine. They saw the way — the CP2 and CP3 engines. Yamaha gives people what they really want. The R6 is a track bike, and you can still buy it for the track, though.I’ll tell you what: back in 1989, Nissan released not just one or two, but at least three sportscars at once (S13, Z32, R32, plus the GTI-R a year later, etc.). Some of the greatest sportscars of all time — each very different and unique, sportscars for everybody. And guess what? Nissan went fucking bankrupt shortly after.So, you can make some of the coolest stuff on Earth, but if people don't buy it, it doesn’t matter. You have to make the cool stuff that people actually buy.
>>28214636Feel like pure shit just want Japan bubble economy engineering back.

Thems were the days anon.
>>28214602A work mate told me to do that yesterday and it made riding home in 40C soo much more bearable, they also let me use the deep freezer to cool it down further.
I want winter to be over...>>28214636>1980s and 90s Japan techYup, consumer electronics (Hi-Fi sets, Trinitron CRTs, quality of semiconductors made in Japan was also better that current chink shit) and automotive products were superior compared to what is being made now, they had the budged for R&D and money to do things properly. I'm seriously considering buying some of the old stuff like a good Hi-Fi set, I have an old Honda car from 80s that I'm restoring because right now there's very little being made that's not gonna disintegrate few years after buying. I wanted to buy a car this year and desu there's nothing worthwhile to buy, honestly. New BMWs are unrelaiable pos, same with other german cars, american cars are made poorly, italian aren't even made no more for the most part. French have their 1.2 puretech with wet timing belt which clogs the oil passages and nukes the engine. It all went to shit
>>28214018Holy shit fzr mentioned
>>28214590absolute menace
>>28214365>HarleyBased
>>28214650Yeah the trick is to maximise your evaporative cooling, because that's all you get at those temperatures. So having just enough airflow to evaporate the water and no more, because the wind is heating you up rather than cooling you down at those temperatures.
>>28214677>Akina speed stars Before Initial D there was ~~Wangan Midnight~~ Bari Bari Densetsu
CBR GSXR GPZ 600, Yamaha had nothing so they stuck an air cooled 600 in a JDM 400 and made a monster.Not exactly wonderful but they were still in the game.
>>28214703I knew a girl/woman (we were students) that had an NS400. Engineering students are the best.
>>28214703Mommy? Sorry. Mommy?
>>28214609Elsie were getting a bit old by pic. TZR was the new kid in town.
>>28214704>completely flat tank
>>28214708Lady...
>>28214710Comfort isn't its strong point. Having 600cc in a 400cc bike made it... competitive.
>>28214708Bikes knot your hair up, you leave with flowing locks and arrive with dreadlocks.Nice pic.
Random question, I'm buying a sports bike but my gf is fat and short, is climbing on top of the passenger seat gonna be any more of an issue than it is on a modern classic model?
>>28214729You want short, that's in your favour. Fat is a problem, you'll have to crank up the preload to the max (or get a stiffer spring in if its non-adjustable) or she's gonna bottom the tail unit out on the back tyre everytime you hit a bump. If she's a spastic she could endanger your lives too by throwing the bike off balance. Sport bikes are ill suited for lugging hoes around anon especially hamwhales. By 'modern classic' I assume you're talking about the new UJM type bikes like z900s. Yes they'll be better for riding two up.
>>28214746Long and low is a thing. She will not like a pee pad and if she moves forward off it your balls will not thank you.I had a friend do that and sexy time is right out afetr that.
Ahh shit replied to the wrong post. >>28214746This guy, fatso gf guy is who I meant.
>>28214746Oh if you're talking about 'modern classic' as in sport/sport tourer kinda bikes from the 90s like >>28214756 mentioned then yeah they tend to have more accomodating seats for fat bitches than new sport bikes
Get a sidecarFat bitches love sidecars
>>28214767Yeah.Lean bitch, lean more bitch :)
Hello everyone, got my motorcycle license yesterday and now i'm faced with buying my own gear. Any helmets you guys could recommend? i'm currently looking at Acerbis Serel 22-06 - it looks good and is modular for when i'm out in the open field and can get rid of a bit of protection. I'll be driving a 200cc motorcycle mainly on dirt roads exploring the countryside and fishing with occasional highway riding as well at about 80 kph (45 mph). Main things im looking for is good visibility, ventilation and comfort. Comfort is gonna be hard to nail because i'm 6'7" and have a pretty big noggin, i also live in the middle of nowhere so choice of helmets could be limited but im still open to any suggestions
>>28214677Bro, what tire you running in the back? Also, you running a 520 chain?Mine has a 150/70 balloon in the back and I've seen another with a 160/60 Metzeler.
>>28214619So MODIFY whatever you dislike the least. Why do people feel so dependent on stock machines? Why does it even matter what's for sale today when there are decades of machines to choose from then mod to suit your desires?
>>28214775congratsin my country (france), you have to have the gear BEFORE you pass the motorcycle test (since you're gonna be riding a motorcycle to pass the exam)
>>28214775Ive never had a modular helmet but the amount of shit ive had hit me in the face with the visor up on a normal helmet makes me never want an open face helmet tbqh
>>28214590I live in a small town and we take property rights very seriously.Everyone owns land, from the mayor to the police chief.You won't be shot but you will be arrested and serve jail time for it.
>>28214792Thank God you were brave enough to say something. No doubt he, and others just like him, will stop moving dirt around on your land.
>>28214778If your bike looks like pic and it's insured as stock then you're going to have a bad day when someone flattens it.
>>28214777Nice digits, nice bikuIf you like it then you should put a fairing on it
>>28214322>Replacing a car with a grom Consider looking into their capabilities and insurance. As a new rider if you plan on commuting I strongly suggest vtwins or ptwins unless you have a low speed short commute. 6k you can find new or used bikes capable for hauling groceries and getting you to work that are a lot more capable than a grom. 300cc-500cc bikes are affordable and have good mpg still and can keep with traffic a lot better. I say this as someone who learned on a grom and moved to a rebel.
>>28214803How about a nice little V twin.I'm sure they're over 25.
>>28214775go to a store and start trying on helmetsI recommend a full face and not spending more than 500
Honda recalled the fuel pump on my 08 cbr1000rr.They won't do the repair on just the fuel tank or pump, they want the whole bike brought it.Should I do it or fuck it, yolo. Closest dealer is an hour away and in the hood
>>28214816Full face every time. Tune your lid to your ride.
>>28214383they top out at about 55mph if you arent obese and thats WOT. it could be done but if you are in a place where everyone is doing 85, that would be sketchy. people have done cross country trips on hunter cubs and monkeys so it can be done.
>>28214708Back off my bike, foid!
>>28214822Do it. Will they pick it up because the hood will be SEP.
>>28214809Literally anything would be more comfortable commuting long distance than a thumper. I say this as someone who commutes on a thumper rebel lmao. Though ptwin are still too boring. I don't understand why people don't like sv650s and cb650s outside of this place lmao.>>28214822Yeah why not.
>>28214838SV650 is imho a pretty good first bike. What the f is a grom.
>>28214801I love her. I am gathering the parts needed to put the fairing on. Still need to redo the dash wiring and remove the digital speedo which will take some time.The other day the water pump oil seal blew up and oil went everywhere.Still love her.>>28214709Yep, great for the early 80's but the mid and late 80's behaved much closer to modern bikes. Great if you want to hang on for dear life though.

>>28214778I have a older sport bike, I do prefer the older stuff. I have modified it to improve the performance. Its just a shame that we seem to have peaked due to market forces. What we're getting now is not as good as what came before, and that's sad. I am lamenting the slow decline of motorcycling generally.
>>28214851This movie is TOO badass for this badass song. Kickstart My Heart or Wild Side would be better

How bad are Biltwell helmets? I might be getting a bit ahead of myself, but I'm starting to try get some gear so that I have something once I complete the motorcycle course during spring. I pretty much have all the basic gear required to take the course, but once I get on the road I would like something a bit safer (helmet is old hand me down with questionable history). On one hand, the reviews that I have seen look promising and the new ones are ECE22.06 certified, but on the other hand they do seem to be a bit "form over function" for a lack of a better term and the FAQ recommends staying away from them (on the other hand, the FAQ is a few years old now)
>>28214938HELL YEAH BROTHER FULL FACE LIFE

>>28214870Manufacturers would gladly sell you something very fast and dangerous, blame the government.

>>28214870We still get the 600, 750, and 1000 in the US. Blame your government.

>>28215069>600, 750, and 1000 in the USIt's like having one tasty candy in different sizes. It's the same fucking thing. HONDA V3 UNIRONICALLY WHEN?
>>28215076>V3Name one reason why it's not stupid.
>>28215079They can't get away with a V4 for emissions law reasons so the V3 with an electric supercharger is pretty close.
>>28215079
>>28215079Id rather have a v3 transalpMaybe they make a v3 muscle cruiserMaybe they make a gear driven cam viffer under 420.69lbs I just want to hear the SHOOM sound of the exhoost on this one more than anything
>>28215083It's 90° two stroke, not 75° 4 stroke
>>28215081Why Ducati can?
Ring a ding a mutherfucking ding.
Big bike lifestyle is scary bros, I’ve slipped the rear on this thing more times than I can count at this point (I’ve gotten pretty decent and keeping it upright lol) and the tires have plenty treadThe Yamaha power is too much to handle…
That guy with a short fat gf, check out this pillion.
>>28214859All engineering has stagnated.The span of time between the Wright Brothers first flight (1903) and the SR71 Blackbirds first flight (1964)- 61 years is the same amount of time from the Blackbirds first flight to today.We should have 5 minute sub-orbital commutes from our home in Buenos Aires to our office in Singapore.And yet here we are, living like it was 1965.>microwave oven was invented in 1945.>Ford had a 4.2L, 32 valve DOHC V8 in 1964 that produced 425hp naturally aspirated, later modified to over 800hp with a turbo (Ford Indy).

The film has been described as a low-budget copy of The Terminator and RoboCop with some elements taken from Judge Dredd.[1]
>>28215166That sounds absolutely horrible.Like hang up a sheet in the backyard and fire it up on the projector while you're bbq"n and drinking with some friends kind of horrible.
>>28215076>They'll build a gay V3 commuter shit but they will never make a Street legal V5 superbike. Fuck Honda and fuck this gay Earth.
>>28215149The H2 was the future we wanted. A 300cc cuckbike with a snail to help achieve 50hp is what we'll get.
are the british retarded?why in the fuck do they make a sidestand without the little peg/stub? do they just keep forgetting or is it actual retardation?

>>28215174If it is four stroke engine and a Honda then there will be one sitting in a store somewhere.Please remenber that Honda designed a fuel and then an engine to burn it back when F1 had a maximum fuel burn limit.
>>28215058I didn't say the hayabusa was dogshit you dumb flaker, I said it's a dogshit sport bike.
>>28215183I want to infiltrate the Honda archives and rescue the could-have-beens.
>>28215177>>28215174Idk why you are complaining. An affordable non ptwin with low displacement will be solid if it makes in the 50-70hp ranges. I miss shit like the 250vtr
>>28215124>We arrest people.You mean you call the sheriff rather than just telling him to GTFO in person. Same shit as people who make a call for service rather than just waking next door and asking their neighbor to please turn the music down.
>>28215197Some sources say it will be more like 700-1000cc. Probably to compete with the CP3. But I doubt it can be that cheap and reliable. It will be more like a Yamaha XSR900GP - expensive and beautiful. If you want a fun bike - it's overpriced, if you want something pretty and unique - this is it.
>>28215222But basically only the very entry level low displacement are direct competition outside of europe. The 750 hornet is beween the cp2 and cp3 in price and performance unless this new bike engine is meant to fill the gap since the 600rr and 1000rr are aging.
>>28215222It will be better than the XSR900GP if it releases in the US at all.
>>28215249Unless it really is just for people who wanted a vfr/magna to return. I'm partial to believe that might be the case.
Post more vids

>>28215076why dont they make sportbikes with the design of a cruiser???? that bike literally looks more cruiser than sports.

>>28214031Nice transalp, I've not seen a yellow one before. What year is it?
>>28214080It's petty similar to that here as well. Roads are clear, a little snow on the ground. I've riden as much as I can yesterday and today, temp is falling to single digits over the weekend, and I'm not looking forward to having to drive my truck to work. Spring is just a couple months out though. We'll make it.
>>28215222Gonna buy an MV F3 800 then and sidestep the gay faggot lol
>>28214094I have an NC700X, and I really lean into the ADV aspect of it. I currently have pirelli angels sts on it, so not a great off road tire, but they do ok. Thinking I'm going to fully kit it out with knobbies, sump plate, bark busters, etc...when I get my next street bike. Make myself a mini-africa twin.
>>28214115Not a big Harley fan in general, but that's a good looking bike. It's crazy what a few rough rides and a coat of mud will do to improve a bike's attractiveness. Much like a woman.

I've had someone on my ass on the highway, and I've had someone on my ass on a residential street, but having someone follow so close in a parking lot that I couldn't even back the bike into a parking space is a new one. But the guy was coming out a vape shop, so that was in character.

>>28214590Just stay off native reservations. I guess know where there's military land too. There are some dirt roads near where I used to live in North Carolina that were closed when the Air Force was using the bombing range. So I guess if you ignored them you could take a piece of shrapnel or get your eardrums blown out. USSOCOM also used the area for training because all the swamps surrounding the range lead out to the ocean.Im not joking about native reservations though.
I got a new helmet!
>>28215536cop helmetsnazzy though
>>28215461>Size 50>Fat fuckI'm a skinny manlet and I'm borderline on moving to a size 52 because if you go to the gym at all the jacket gets too tight

>>28215600You're not the buff guy with tattoos?
I've been planning on upgrading from a 400cc neked to a faster sportbike this year, but for a few months I haven't been able to narrow it down at all. I'm losing it.
>>28215639no im 75kg with no tattoosi would like a tattoo though, but i dont know what to get. i feel like getting something just cause it looks cool is kinda lame
>>28215683HELL YEAH BROTHER

hi im about to buy this bike and im new. can anyone tell me if this bikes forks are bent?
>>28215722another photo. thank you all
>>28215683Maybe something really inspiring like 'dig deep' or 'dont hold back'. It might look really good across your lower back
I think a 1000cc would look sick vinyl wrapped like this car
>>28215728i dont know about that placement anon. how about an ares tattoo on my upper arm?that fella is pretty cool if you ask me
>>28215740You are too innocent anon
>>28215653it's tough, man. There are so many cool bikes out there.

>>28215803U alright bro? If it's anything like mine you'll have ball and leg pain for days
>>28215803Silly ethnics
>>28215810Hit-and-run. I'm sore, got pain in my left leg, arm, shoulders, and bruising in my groin. Thankfully no broken bones or fractures, going to take time to recover. Hired an attorney and filed a police report so we'll see what happens, insurance already said that the plate comes back as uninsured.
>>28215825OH SAY CAN YOU SEEEEW
>>28215825>Hit-and-runSo on top of being in an accident while uninsured, they opted for a moderate misderaor? I'm going to assume they were drunk and decided the hit-and-run was better than the DUI. The shitty thing is odds are good they will proven correct.
bros i need help. it's been months since i have started my bikes. sometimes i just sit on them for no reason. it's 3 degrees out and i'm cold. do i spend money on parts to placate my loneliness?

on today's 150+ miles ride my bike's motor was running exquisitely well, especially at the end, like, I could feel it and everyone else could hear it how well the motor was running, probably the best running motor in town you may ask how it is, well, that's because of 150+ miles per day and constant proper maintenance, that's what differs a real biker from a "casual" rider
>>28215891Hi. This is you
Anyone have experience buying New-old stock at a dealer?Local dealer has a 2022 Indian Scout sixty base classic for $9k.You guys think its worth? It is a 3 year old bike, and they count it as new. I will mod it when the warranty is up.I hate the redesign plastic harley trash they copied. And they still make less horsepower and a Rev performance 1300cc Big Breast Kit/Sporster S.I dont plan on selling desu.They also have 2023 FTR sport $11,500 $4500 off $3% for 36 or 2024 FTR base $9k>Pic relatedThis will replace my Versys x300Also, FTR is getting axed Rip
>>28215891Of all the shows to avatar post with, how in the hell did you end up on Lalaloopsey? I'm pretty sure it's over 10 years old at this point.
>>28215905>PolarisPass
>>28215803>>28215874shitskins have done irreparable damage to this country
>>28215825Sucks bro hope you recover well find the guy and get justice.
>>28215939thank you anon. I don't think the police department will do fuck all but we'll see what happens.
should i risk 5 year old new tires?i have a set of wheels for my cbr that have been sitting in cold storage for 5-6 years, mounted, with pressure. they're brand new other than the age. no signs of dry rot on the exposed bits.should i trash them or run them?
>>28215891>running exquisitely well>everyone else could hear it>probably the best running motor in townhttps://litter.catbox.moe/aoei91.mp4
>>28215866having a winter wrench project might help
>>28215305Yeah its a bit of a climb. You'll have to stabilise the bike by sitting on it while she scarpers up there, she'll probably have to grab your shoulder to boost herself up as she climbs on. Bit sketchy, but it'll be ok if you're not too scrawny and can support her weight while stabilising the bike.
>>28215911I know, but without polaris we wouldnt have indian just like without AMF we wouldnt have harley or the XLCR.>>28215982I don't know how hard you will run them but my versys tires are the factory ones from 2017. The compound i believe gets harder over time, so i would make sure to warm them up before the speed itch starts.I think revzilla has a video on old tires.What damages compound is mostly UV light and the inevitable dry rot.
>>28215536LS2 helmets are super noisy unless something changed since 2023. Put your earplugs in.
Which one of the Honda CRF450s came out a few years ago and everybody was disappointed? There are so many kinds of crf450; it's kind of confusing.
>>28214451are you just going to keep posting this from now on like the retard who complains about his harley low rider that he refuses to post pictures of? oh wait youre the same guy lol
Is the 'tona 660 bro here? How you linking it now?
>>28214018really considering the ZX4RR lads. Currently riding 2021 ninja 400. I feel like I've outgrown it but don't trust myself with 600cc. Can't keep up to my friend with the R6 when he wants to pin it. I want the inline 4 and 400cc sounds perfect for me. What do you think? I would have considered a Honda if they had a 400cc inline 4 but I don't think that is happening after all, no?pros:>super cheap insurance in leafland apparently since it is by cc>still uses 87 octane gas>still a comfortable riding position compared to ZX6R (I like commuting and motocamping)>much better sound than my ninja 400 lawnmower>higher top speed (ninja 400 is 187km/hr but I hit 197; I assume this is more peppy after ECU flash)>all the bells and whistles: quick shifter, traction control, TFT display)cons>only 10lbs lighter than the ZX6R>TFT display has no GPS or turn signals (I'll continue to use voice navigation with helmet)
>>28215161Nah, just south of Hueco Tanks
>>28216156I honestly think you're equally as likely to kill yourself on a ZX4RR as a ZX6R. It comes down to self-control, perception, reflexes and experience either way. I went from a VFR400 to an R1, had sketchy moments on both, and in both instances it was down to me being a retard.
>>28216156
>>28216156If you can keep up with your R6 friend in the real twisty stuff and you can corner/brake hard with confidence (highway pulls don't count) I think you're ready for a 600. If you want a comfortable positition for commuting/long distance then get a large displacement naked bike instead maybe.
Texas anon here. My buddy is now in a rehab hospital. We found his bike on copart. It was a 2016 panigale 959.
>>28216190I wouldn't even engine internals on that one."Knackered" is the word.
>>28216195Brake disk still looks good so there might be hope.
>>28216198The back one? Saw that.
Looking to get my first motorcycle, choice is a Honda Navi, question, I still need to get a Class M certification, looking at the driving requirements would it wiser to pay for a training course (local one is like 290 dollars) or buy a navi off somewhere like marketplace or Craigslist and take it to the DMV to do the test there?
>>28215722bump
You meet the nicest people on a Honda
>>28216213Pay for the course. I've had a friend fail the test he took blind spectacularly.I assume a Navi is electric because nobody in the right mind would buy something looking like that that runs on fossil fuel.
>>28216216If it has an MOT then they have to be.Eyeball it, pump the front up and down and if you are not happy walk away.Never buy a bike without a test ride.
What would you pick between a Triumph Bonneville and an Indian Scout? And why?
>>28216238Triumph. They are destructable but they are an over engineered Kawasaki at heart.
>>28216224It's basically a scooter with a motorcycle body, goes about 55mph at max, no clutch, twist and go, considering because I totaled my car and they go for like 2600 at the local dealer brand new and I don't like cars anymore
>>28216256Twist and go takes me back to the eighties.Fun!You'd be an awful lot safer in a car but if you want a bike then take the course.
>>28216213If you live in a cool state like Florida you don't need one provided you don't get caught doing dumb things or crash.
>>28216182texas anon here as well. what happened?and how is the riding in texas? i am thinking of getting my first bike this year but i live in DFW and the traffic here is ridiculous
>>28216284Texan unfortunately
>>28216310Is Texas cool or do cops fuck with your for no reason?
>>28216213Class is the better option, but knowing how to work a clutch and takoff/turn from a stop before the class will make it a lot less stressful.>>28216303> How's the riding in DFWYour enjoyment will be inversely proportional to how close you are to any freeway. Those people have no time for strbge 2 wheeled vehicles and they woud rather you disappeared. Further out of the metroplex and riding during off hours are always more relaxed.
are Royal Enfield any good? I know they are made by jeets but the aesthetics are so good
>>28216337i live in the Fort Worth suburbs. i wouldn't ever ride on the freeways if i could help it. i don't even like driving on these damn things in a car. texans are insane
>>28214682>>28214792>>28214797>>28215525I was being a bit hyperbolic, I'm not crazy.I don't go on private land where people live, or farmland, or military land, or parks, or reservations.I mainly slip around gates onto forestry roads on off days when there are no trucks. There is often a well traveled gate bypass track already dug in by dirtbikers.Around here there are tons of logging roads snaking through the mountains that used to be ungated but now are. People dig out bypasses to get around but after a while those usually get blocked by rocks. Sometimes the bypasses are big enough for 4x4s to get around.I've ran into a forestry worker (female) and all she did was say "you aren't really supposed to be on that side of the gate">>28215525>reservationsWhat's so bad about trespassing on a res? Are they lawless lands where I'll get shot or something?I'm in Canada so it's probably different in the US
>>28216303Left turner got him. His left side limbs are all bionic now, but he will eventually be okay. Traffic here is absolutely fucked. You gotta git gud or die honestly. Vid related.https://youtu.be/nf-rKdS6eo4?si=lc9LvCFXJPGQQvjvThere are some twisties around here but you gotta go a bit outside the metroplex. Not impossible though. Other than that it's a lot of city streets and highways. The FM roads are fun sometimes if there's light traffic. I enjoy both twisties and blasting down the highway though, so there's always something for me to do.>>28216331Mostly cool. Sometimes they will nit pick it they're bored but they mostly leave bikes alone... mostly.>>28216355When did you move here? Yes, the drivers are insane. I'm also outside fort worth. Not quite suburbs, not quite rural. Which direction outside of fort worth are you? I'm out west.
>>28216370north east of fort worth. just a few months ago
>>28216359>What's so bad about trespassing on a res?Natives can hunt anything year around on the reservations. Hunting accidents are a thing. FBI is the only federal agents that can investigate crimes on reservations. Lots of land. I also know someone that saw some shit first hand.I also know someone that got pulled over on a stretch of highway and his HD impounded my reservation cops and it took him a year of fighting to get if back and when he got it back the native cops had been riding it. He couldn't do shit about it.
>>28216370You're on a scooter. Trust me, they'll more than likely leave you alone even if they are bored.
>>28215982i bought my bike with 4yo tires that had very low wear. Initially the rubber was hard like wood, but after I put some miles on it the tires came back to life and turned soft again.

>>28215905I've never bought new old stock at a dealer, but that's a great price anon. I'd go for it, but I like the Scout.I bought a 2018 with 1500 miles on it, for $10k, two years ago. It's been a lot of fun.
>>28216238Very different riding experiences anon, entirely subjective. Both are great bikes.
