>>28688269Where do you live?Which strom you got?How much is it at right now?>>28688341the vstrom has a reputation for being a road queen and not a real utilitarian bike like the tenny is, which is ironic because it's a way, way better dirt and off-roader than the tenny. Especially the 650.Doesn't matter, first impressions are everything and it got the reputation of an unfun dad bike. It probably doesn't help that 800s got a huge recall last year beacuse their tires were falling apart.
When the fuck did helmets get so expensive, holy shit.I feel like 10 years ago a $800 helmet was like moonbeam money.
>>28688516everything is stupidly expensive
>>28688518Jesus, I guess.Fork seals are $30 a pair but you better change your helmet every 5 years MINIMUM or your head will spontaneously explode.I'm glad non-bike people think my 25 year old bike looks brand new but don't mention my ghetto AF helmet.

So can I get a British bike that isn't manufactured by shitskins in India, or what?
>2025>no v-twin sportbikes on the market

>want 1390 SDR>dont want modern india owned KTMthe future sucks
>>28688547Yeah mate they're gone.
>>28688547I'm guessing you mean Jap V twin sport bikes.Euros got a couple and china has a few.
I hate Indians
>>28688561c'mon man can you be more specific with your racism?
>>28688562Sure, I hate every shitskin in Canada taking away gas station jobs.I hate the literal millions of monkeys that our corrupt government chose to import. I hate their country, culture, aesthetic, shape, color, and personality.The best part is, because it's the least redeemable race of all time, everyone else hates them too.
>>28688561That's not very nice, anon.

>>28687563The powder stuff from the powder-coating gets INSIDE so when it gets into the oil the engine is kill, no way to ever get it all clean again either so i have to build a proper new lubrication circuit without it if i dont wanna replace the oil every 1000Km and risk overheating.
>>28688569its surprising and disturbing how many people are completely fucked without ABS.

what is our opinion on KTM?
>>28688567are the gigantic radiators on these really needed? Seems pretty comical given how Harley and Triumph always try to hide them inside the frame to not "ruin" the classical side-profile look and here is Indian just slapping these things fit for a GP-bike on the front.
>>28688577KTM stands for:KekThat's Malfunctioning

I like the look of an RC990R desu, and I like how it's a P-twin so maybe normiels will finally get it
>>28688594get what? That it will sadly always play second fiddle to this beast because we cant have nice things anymore due to politicians hating us?
>>28688586>>28688588the MCU fried the 2nd year i owned the bike, KTM replaced it for free. and a couple years ago i had t i had to replace the radiator being pulled apart from a design flaw with the 1st gen models. other than that its been pretty flawless these last 10 years.
reposting this from last thread (not my clip), since I have a question: is this not merely cornering ABS kicking in because he slipped mid curve?looks like he opened the throttle a bit, maybe the road was wet and thats what caused his rear to slip?
>>28688612off-road tires + cold + wetthats all it was man.
>>28688612it's a fucking tourer and he tried to increase the angle too fast
>>28688617how did he recover then, rear brake or front brake?i'm a beginner and I honestly don't know.
>>28688621counter-steered to regain traction.nothing to do with brakes.
>>28688622thanks
Is there any reason not to buy this helmet besides "but it does not have nice SHOEI sticker on it"? The safety rating is the same in the EU for every allowed helmet.
Some fucking young thug urban youth piece of shit nigger (I'm not racist and normally wouldn't use this term but God damn, this person deserves that title) tried starting shit with me because I cut them off by surprise during gridlock, they escalated by rolling their window and taking shit so I called them a blind shitfuck and they got so mad they dangerously cut across 3 lanes of traffic to get on my side only for me to horsepower my way out of the situation across the same 3 lanes between cars and onto a one way they couldn't get to, then disappeared cutting into lanes splitting cars. Now, I felt like a pussy running away from a flight when I could blast their ass into glass with bullets but they're not worth it
>>28688626congratulations, you handled the situation like an adult.your reward: you get to be on your computer at home where you're able to tell the tale and drink a comfy cup of saturday morning coffee on a weekend instead of sitting in a jail cell and awaiting trialt for 4 years.people who act like that are so far beneath you, they might as well be invisible. they're infrared to you, they don't blip on your radar. ignore them because they're not even there in the first place. you've been talking to an empty car driven by a ghost, move on.
>>28688632Thanks, Fox, I hate feeling like a pussy but I need to hear what you just said
>>28688636You were a pussy. You could have smashed their mirror first and then proceed doing what you did, leaving them fast. That way you would not be pussy.
>>28688639I did that when I was a kid riding a bicycle and almost got my ass ran over. I oddly escaped the same way, using a one way
>>28688625When it comes to chinkshit off Amazon I wouldn't trust that it meets any sort of standard just because it says it in the description. It's even more concerning with a modular helmet because of the risk of it opening during an accident, and also the mechanism could just break during regular use because it's low quality.
>>28688650>because of the risk of it opening during an accident, and also the mechanism could just break during regular use because it's low qualityHow do you know your expensive helmet won't do the same?
>>28688656I blindly trust the logo on the forehead duh
>>28688625Helmets are literally the ONE piece of gear you should not buy used because you can't see the critical degrees of wear they might or might not have (i.e. microfractions on the inner and/or outer shell).Gloves, jackets, pants, even boots you can judge on how they look and feel. You can also easily inspect them for damages.And, even IF, worst comes to worst and you buy any of those WITH an imperfection and all the stars align and your gloves or pants DO have a material failure, you scrape some skin or break your knuckles.If your helmet has one such a failure in that once-every-10-years bad luck moment, you hurt your head and chances are, you're fucked forever.You can buy everything else used and not lose any sleep over it, but not the helmet.
>>28688656>How do you know your expensive helmet won't do the same?>local retard has his typical skeptical moment>QUESTION EVERYTHINGin case the tested helmets with safety certificates approved off by a dozen western nations do fail to a certifiable degree, the expensive helmets dont stay expensive for very long because the expensive helmet companies don't sell any more expensive helmets.did you ever buy medication at a pharmacy? why not go to your local shady shitskin dealer and have him mix it for 15% of the price?why not order condoms from a chinese b-ware factory?absolute retard.
>>28688659What used? It's new.
>>28688662Long cope text insteas of saying "well yes, I trust the logo on my forehead more than the eu certificate" kek
>>28688626Trust me mate, you are more adult and white then most people in society.Immediate violence doesn't really pay off, if karma is on your side you will see them on the nightly news with their car wrap around a tree.I had someone piss bolt and run after bumping my car, about 3 months later I see the same car and person on the side of highway with their car total and being beaten by police.
>>28688625how are they going to delivery it to a place that doesnt exist
>>28688656Because it's actually passed the tests and received certification. There is still a possibility, it's not a 100% success rate, but it's more trustworthy than some random month old company based out of Wongdong.

>>28688702That's a 1250GS material, not poor Tenere.
>>28688656>>28688650I like that one anon who tells us the story of falling off at 31 MPH in a cheap wal-mart dirtbike helmet and it being just fine
Anon, does this happen to you and your bike?https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Mt7TdsxK3y4IF yes then what bike do you have?
>>28688742>moto vlogging tiktok dancing cuckno
>>28688600>>28688598What makes this bike's engine fundamentally different other than the shape of the block
>>28688760the poo engineers that threw it together
>>28688505>because it's a way, way better dirt and off-roader than the tenny. Especially the 650You are the first person I've heard say that about the dl650, especially given that the dl650 outweighs the t7, has roughly the suspension travel of a cb500x, and doesn't even come with cartridge forks.
>>28688751when was the last time 4 young girls talked to you and touched youre bike?
>>28688793At a gas station and they wanted to bum money or have me buy them alcohol. Make better life decisions, anon.
I had a dream I was test riding a Panigale V2 at a demo day but I wasn’t really into it and it was too hot outside so they cancelled the second test ride. I was pissed because I wanted to try the R9 (???) but they had a lot of complimentary food so I didn’t get too upset
>>28688807Do you really live in Japan? Post more bikes from there.
>>28688809If I lived in Japan I would be posting in Japanese you tard
>>28688784It also has the oil filter as the first point of contact. And the CoG is higher due to the VTwin. I think it's just another sperg that irrationally hates the CP2.
I remember when Tenere was released everyone was spamming how cheap it is. I just checked and it costs 1k less than Africa Twin. Like what lmao???
>october 25th 2025i am forgotten
>>28688852It's been defeated by it's own success. The days of the xt660z being the rugged alternative when a Transalp wouldn't cut it are long past. T7 is the default. You buy that unless there's a specific reason you need something else.
>>28688852They jacked the price up after its release. It was the best deal anyone could ask for a few years ago
>>28688852>2025 AT: $14,999>2025 t7: $10,999>2025 xl750: $9,999>2025 kle500: $7,499I'm assuming you mean the price diff between a used AT vs t7, but look at that MSRP spread. If the KLE is the a2/beginner bike, there's not much gap left between it and the mid size bikes at this point. You're paying a $3k premium for 50% more horsepower.
>>28688838That oil filter is so fucking weird man. Even on a road bike that is pretty fucking weird if you think about the shit a motorcycle runs over on the road. They fixed it on the 800 by recessing it into the frame, but it still faces forward into the elements.
>>28689064helps with cooling the oil I guess
>>28688742>>28688793Today, anon realizes that 100% of these videos are staged and every girl in it is a paid actor.
>>28689075The age old adageIt's not prostitution if you film it.
>>28688391>>28688436It's a CBX/NX but with all the shit people have been begging Honda to do for years. Wire wheels with a 21" front instead of cast with 19", engine/exhaust protection, almost certainly better suspension just because it's Kawi vs Honda, etc. >>28689052If he's overseas he might be looking at one of the higher T7 trims we don't get, like the World Raid or Rally, which I think come pretty close to the AT.
SEXOOOOOO
>>28689052More like>2025 AT: 15,500€>2025 T7 world tour: 14,500€>2025 xl750: 11,000€>2025 kle500: 7,500€ <- lmao not gonna happen, it will be 9,900€. I hope you are taking screenshots otherwise I will in order to spam it next year.>>28689081>If he's overseas he might be looking at one of the higher T7 trims we don't get, like the World Raid or Rally, which I think come pretty close to the AT.That's correct. But only close by price.

Wire wheels with a 21" front instead of cast with 19", engine/exhaust protection, almost certainly better suspension just because it's Kawi vs Honda, etc.NX500 goes for 7,800€ btw and chinchong MT450 (Ibex for you) is 6,500€. We are cooked.
>>28689113>it will be 9,900€Wish they would. Stop putting budget forks, shock, skid and hand guards, make a god damn toggle for ABS, and carve out a spot as the premium lightweight adv.
>>28689120God I wish we had that here. If I see a tree it's because someone planted it.
If it's pouring outside do you make a decision like>yeah fuck it I'm not going to work with my bike and continue sleeping/go with a bus?

2007 R1, I'm suspecting a burnt up stator, as a spare rectifier didn't solve my charging issue, and I'm getting 23V AC on 3 out of 4 combos at idle, the other one is 17V, on the stator cable at idleWould it be safe to go to work and just recharge the battery there until a new stator arrives?Any thoughts?

>>28688577The only good supermotos out there are from KTM and their subsidiaries.
>>28689124>make a god damn toggle for ABSI've got some good news for you. I've been arguing with people here and elsewhere about this for hours but it really seems like Kawi is taking this bike a lot more seriously than other manufacturers (Honda in particular) have. If only they'd put the weight argument to bed.
Anyone else go for a ride today?

>>28689211Today is Sunday (5:30am) and it's the first day of the week that I'm NOT going to ride my bike. I realise that this is a pointless post but I saw a PCX in your pic and felt obliged to respond.

Are digital carb sync tools any good? I don't mind analog tech but it does seem convenient to have a automatic calibrated tool vs a manually calibrated one. Any one specfically you recommend? My buddy's bike should be checked

Should I buy new tires now or wait till the season picks up again. One hand I wanna get in front of it, other hand I could put it off.

>Should I buy new tires now or wait
My wife's PCX wouldn't start this morning cos it was cold and the tracker kills the battery. Always carry a halo bolt in the topbox. Best accessory ever.

What range the bike tyres can usually survive for if you don't spin them?
>>28689331depends if left in the sun or garaged. if garaged then your tyres will be fine. get them up to temp and see how they feel.if left in the sun then they will most likely need replacing.
Do yamaha and suzuki put better quality components on their bikes comparing to honda in the same price range? Like forks, frames etc.
Earlier today a jeep wrangler slowly backed into me while I was parking my bike. Luckily it happened under the best possible set of circumstances, I had just dismounted so I was able to catch the bike before it fell. The driver's eyes had that yellowy sickle cell look and he talked like his brain wasn't getting enough oxygen. You can guess what he looked like. He was pretty apologetic but holy fuck man.

The 390 is cool but a twin makes way more sense for me - as I've often mentioned I really need to cruise comfortably at 80 - and I have a hell of a lot more faith that the Kawi won't leave me stranded in the middle of nowhere.

This is skipping the middle man, the means IS the end.I mean, I could just go for a ride now. Don't even have to ask my mom, I could just go.

>>28689450enjoy it while it lasts.

>>28689463>3) I have physical card backups in a leather wallet at homewhy not just carry it with you and use your phone as a backup?not even a boomer, it seems obvious that with something like your personal cash, you use the simplest thing that can't just break. cuz right now you're carrying two phones on you to do the job a wallet does with no power.
>>28689450See this is what I think would vastly improve the teen suicide rates: When they realize that they don't need anyone's permission to be out on the road doing whatever they want. Once they're 16 or 17 they can get a scooter license and be out doing whatever the fuck they want at any time of the night.I'm in my late 20s and only stopped feeling like a piece of shit when I realized that I wasn't required to listen to anybody about any decision I made in my early 20s. It's what got me into motorcycles.
>>28689467>carrying two phones on youno, i have a private phone and a business phone and i rarely have both on me at the same time because i don't mix business with pleasure.a phone = 1 thinga phone + leather wallet = 2 things to carry

>>28689513What do these numbers mean?
>>28689509Why? Physical things can be replaced. If that chip fucks up you're stuck with a lemon forever. Or worse, in 5-10 years there's a major software flaw found in it like with old credit cards NFC chips and you can't just replace it.
Whats the consensus on heating your hands? Heated gloves or heated grips? I was gonna go with gloves but it looks like you have to buy like 3 different things for a gerbing setup (harness, temp controller, gloves themselves). Just seems like a headache. Is it worth it or should I just go with some oxfors heated grips?
>>28689537>Physical things can be replacedyes, and a microchip is a physical thing that can be replaced. though i think now that my wrist would be a better position than the back of my neck. then i can use it to pay for things like i do with my phone and/or watch.
>>28689538grips. It's not that heated gloves are bad, it's that heated grips work no matter what glove you have and are warm in the parts you would want to keep warm (your palms)
>>28689540>yes, and a microchip is a physical thing that can be replaced. yeah man, just get a pocket knife and dig that thing out every 4-5 years. At least on the wrist it would be easier but you'd risk hitting your radial artery.
>>28689538heated gloves only last one season before they stop heating.t. tried 3 different brandsalso, modern heated gloves aren't as you described. they have the temp control and battery built in so all you have to do is charge them over night. the temp module will be on the left glove.
>>28689542i don't mind having a few scars because women think scars are sexy
>>28689505>tfw you just sold plasma but you realize too late >just what the hell do they want my plasma for, and am I being ripped off >but then you call the fentanyl dealer and do a few amazon(r) doordash orders >the positive reviews wash over you as the fentanyl coma settles deeper>somewhere a child is going through a metal detector you think before falling
>>28689544idk, the ones on your wrist may look like emo cutting scars, better put it on the neck
>>28689505The ole Canadian Kaczynski. An F91W Casio away from domestic terrorism charges and running on pure dino drink from the not-so badlands in 'berta.
>>28689549maybe she'll think she can fix me. i'm not ashamed to accept pity sex.
>>28689513I don't know if I've ever owned a vehicle in good enough shape that some little scratches would bother me.Just don't look at it
>>28689513this could never happen to my scooter because my scooter has a key fobdid i mention that it's a scooter? yea it's a scooter.
>>28689513your bike is a write-off now. simply unsafe to ride!
Tomorrow I will build a motorcycle ramp for my front door. The little ramp I got off Ebay is too small and makes the turn too awkward. I will make three triangular frames from my my scrap wood, join them together and get a sheet of that plywood like chipboard. This will be lots better than that little folding aluminium ramp.
>>28689554>MY HECKIN CRAZY RICE PIPES AND LEDS BRO!!!kys
>>28689518Then why yamaha and suzuki are more expensive thab similar hondas in europe at least?
>>28689561How dare you talk to my Italian bike like that
>>28689562probably because honda tends to use drum brakes on the rear of their bikes
>>28689563Shits riced out, I don't care if the faggots that built it only eat spaghetti. All the fake vents, fake pipes, gay temu LEDs are trash and you're a tranny wrenchlet for shilling this bullshit. no doubt you're into other gay childish shit too, hence the chinkshit cartoon porno pics.
>>28689569stay mad
>>28689543Have you tried gerbings? From what i understand the ones with built in batteries are the shitty ones. The gerbings seem nice because you can plug in a heated jacket too
>>28689573needs more fake vents and leds, maybe some more logos and fake cf too
>>28689562That's a loaded question because there's the fact euro Market is far different than USA also more expensive =/= more better, there's a higher build quality on the Hondas across the board because they're the biggest motorcycle company amongst the japs
>>28689580>Have you tried gerbings?no.
>>28689450>I mean, I could just go for a ride now.I'm back and fuck, I learned a valuable lesson: Country roads and highways in late October fucking SUCK at night if you're not wearing thermal underwear. I froze my fucking legs off after 2 minutes.Downtown was okay, I suppose because it's less windy.And another honda noob problem:>come to stop at a red light after going 50km/h or 30 freedom units>after coming to a stop, I begin shifting down from 4th, 3rd, 2nd gear towards 1st>only that after going from 2nd to N, I can't continue shifting downwards>I panic and keep trying to downshift like a madman because any second the light is going to be green>EVENTUALLY, after like 7 tries, the bike finally lets me go from N into 1st gear and I can continue drivingHow do I prevent this? It doesn't happen at every stop light, but often enough that it's annoying me because I know that I'm missing something crucial here.
>>28688742There's a little kid one street over from me who makes a revving hand signal every time I pass by and so I always rev my bike for him. Honestly it stresses me out sometimes but I can't let him down now. Part of me wonders if he keeps doing it because he doesn't want to let me down.
>>28689396I agree putting around dirt on bikes which can get you the 200km there in comfort is a valid life choice. Doing trials stunts on a GS is pure fantasy.
>>28689463I carry my wallet and cards in my riding jacket. Phones overheat sometimes or just take a shit.
>>28689595>How do I prevent this?by riding a scooter
>>28689537Try 3 and 1/2 year life expectancyWgeb uts the actual mark of said beast its terminal damnation bros
>>28689602>Phones overheat sometimes or just take a shit.not if you buy the good ones
>>28689595Downshift normally instead of just pulling the clutch in and braking.
>>28689120>>28689128No shortage of trees here, but I think riding season is officially over as of today.
>>28689128>>28689136More like Skyrim where I am. Probably only a few weeks from it looking like this behind my house again.
>>28687780
>>28687789ty
>>28689627>snowposting hoursThats bar none worse than bully hours
Real riding season is fall and spring. I just TTT (take the truck) otherwise.
>>28688626>I'm not racist and normally wouldn't use this termlel
ok bros im a noob rider probably under 200 miles.whe i stall my crf450rl it doesn't want to start up again for some reason like the dash lite to start comes on but it just wont. if i wait before i try the light goes off and then it also doesnt work what am i doing wrong bros it usally takes 3-4 times before itll start.
>>28689667maybe youre not letting the fuel pump prime. Can you hear the starter trying to turn it over?
>>28689658Oh yeah you're up in Canuckistan so you probably get it way worse than we do too, it just starts early as fuck for us down here in Oregon. >>28689662Summer is peak here, mostly 70s and 80s and clear blue skies, but the tradeoff is a 6 month season and the other half of the year is fucked.
>>28689669well its weird if i wait before hitting the start button the light also goes off and doesn't work
>>28689667Turn the key off and back on, that reprimes the fuel pump. I had the same issue with my KLX300 until I figured that out.
>>28689673BASED ill try this
>>28689670>keeps /snowbullying/STAY THE FUCK BACKENOUGHAHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>28689667Bro you probbably gotta not flood the engine too sonetimesClean it out with clutch and throttle before starting and then open choke wide before next startI have one of them also get the ecu upgraded emissions aids might cause this too
>>28689449>carabinerA carabiner lanyard is a safer option since you can latch the carabiner to your belt loop while the lanyard is long enough for the keys to go in your pocket. Also I can't understand how you could enjoy the sound of jingling keys.I'm sponsored by Big Lanyard btw
>>28689703The real pro move, if you can get away with it, is just to get a keypad for your garage or front door lock and then you don't have to carry keys at all when riding.
>>28689664this is mafia

Guys I just got a girls phone number after I told her I have a motorcycle. What do I do now?
>>28689742You know what you have to do
>>28689742Imagine not having a bike charm
>>28689768The old guys say that someone has to give you a charm, the magic doesn't work if you buy it yourself.
Baiku charm?
>>28689778It works if you randomly find one on the road too, gifting a road find double its magic
>>28689787>>28689788Drunk bastard, but true
>>28689779Baiku charm
>>28689768I got an actual bike charm for men thank you
>start to recognize anons by the bikes they post bros...
>>28689825Do you know me?
the new KLE looks good but I was thinking a tenny, what aer your thoughts considering that I'm 140lbs on a good day after a big meal
>>28689825Bros
>>28689848Any shop worth their while will have both bikes in stock soon. Go and try them on.
>>28689864where do I find a shop that lets me test ride
>>28689869I mean, honestly you might not even need to test ride.They're both basic ass Parallel twins. Take the weight and HP figure into account and you your answer.Even if one boasts a large hp figure, maybe it feels worse between the legs.
>>28689869>>28689871You don't even need to test ride and horsepower and torque isn't even that important. The most important thing about riding is fitting the bike, that doesn't require riding it but you need to sit on it. There's a level of adjustability to bikes but if you don't fit, you'll hate how uncomfortable it'll be to ride. It's difficult for a novice but instead of horsepower and torque figures, go with inseam, reach, and cycle-ergo online body position simulator
>>28689874Derp, >>28689874>inseam, reach, and cycle-ergoAnd saddle height, forgot about that. You need to fit on the bike, horsepower and torque comes after
>>28689874>horsepower and torque isn't even that importantI dunno. It's pretty easy to notice a power delivery difference on carbed bikes when you swap a jet, so I assume on efi bike you notice difference.>go with inseamI actually disagree with the inseam thing. I've ridden a few "ADV" bikes that I can flat foot, but are so cramped once your feet on the pegs it's unbearable.You basically HAVE to sit on the bike before you buy it.
>>28689876Sure but power control comes much much easier when the bike fits
>>28689876Also, flat footing is a dumb standard, it's better to be on your toes than on your heels
>>28689878Actually yeah, I retract the idea that the bike's power should adapt to you, for the most part, you should adapt to the bike's engine.Ergos are >>28689879 the most important. When riding at least.
>>28689880>Ergos are the most important. When riding at least.Agreed, riding makes the human part of the handling dynamics, better fit means better handling
>>28689879Yeah the whole flat foot think is for women.You think anyone can flatfoot a horse.
>>28689885Bikes are basically wheeled horses. There's a reason we say riding a bike, not driving it
>>28689888>There's a reason we say riding a bike, not driving itHehe that's cute, but did you know majority of people on the planet does not speak English and it's different in other languages?
>>28689894I don't speak Spanish in particular so I had to use Google for that, but i speak four other languages and out of them only japanese does it as well.
>>28689890English is the most spoken language in the planet by total number of speakers
>no time for a bike>no space for a bike>nowhere to go on a bike>still want one
>>28689900Spanish was a bad example, as a worldwide hyper language many parts of the globe speak Spanish differently. Another example of a horse culture with riding vs driving difference is France. Basically the equestrian cultures who recognized riding a horse vs riding in a driven carriage/wagon
>>28689905>Basically the equestrian cultures who recognized riding a horse vs riding in a driven carriage/wagonSo... the gypsies?
>>28689907The root word for bike in German is ride, there's a reason for that too and it's because they're also a horse based culture
Okay I'm watching it, hope it's good.
>>28689900'Ride' is also commonly used with cars in Japanese.
>>28689908I'm german btw, we say the same way for both cars and bikes.
>>28689910As a passenger
>>28689911But why is the bike literally called ride?
>>28689890>people on the planet does not speak Englishhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhzLM_zR8Jo
>>28689903If you aren't willing to sacrifice, maybe you just don't deserve it.
>>28689908>>28689913It's wheen you fucking idiot. I don't even speak German and I know this just from looking at it. I did double check though so as not to make myself look as silly as you.
>>28689916Wheel, fuck's sake.
>>28689916>>28689917And what's ride? Bike is basically ride wheel in German, but why do they call it riding a wheel? Because a bike is a fucking horse on wheels and a car is a carriage driven by a motor instead of a horse
>>28689900Montar means "to ride" and can be applied to a motorcycle.Montando una motocicleta = riding a motorcycle
>>28689918I was going from motorbike because this is /dbt/ not /n/ kek
>>28689937Lel there's an oddly high amount of crossover between /n/ and /dbt/ while the recent flood of urba/n/istas are strongly against /o/il. I was a long time oldfuck on /n/ but I've moved on, you can say I'm too boring for /n/ now
>>28689399>>28689434>https://files.catbox.moe/tgrrx4.mp4lmao
>>28689935Sounds like mount in English. To mount a motorcycle. To mount a horse. You stay mounted while riding it. Your horse can be called your mount. How well a young gentleman is mounted.I like the motionn of applying that to motorcyles. Fits.
>>28689909>Anime>Good
>>28689909Manga was slightly better, this anime is too bright
>>28689703>I can't understand how you could enjoy the sound of jingling keysYou get used to it. It's like a cat bell. You can go into weird places but because you are so obvious nobody will think you are trying to sneak in and do something weird.
Why big electric motorcycles have similar range to electric bicycles while weighing 5x?
>>28689969Power to weight ratio is at direct odds with both battery capacity to weight ratio as well as power to efficiency ratio, unless either batteries or motors find a way to become significantly more efficient, electric bikes will be a game of chasing a mirage
>>28689973So when eu prohibits combustion engine cars and motorcycles we are all doomed either to use old ones until they prohibit those or just have a range of a bicycle?
>>28689969>>28689973As well as that the range figures given for electric bicycles are at far low speeds, which requires less energy, and usually takes into account some input from the rider.>>28689984I don't know how the whole of the EU is going to go about it, but at least here in the UK it will only be the sale of new ICE bikes that will be banned. You'll still have all the used ones on the market to choose from and you'll be able to ride them until they fall apart. People are regularly riding around on like 20 year old bikes with no issues and I think the last I heard the ban is coming in around 2035, so you'll be fine until at least 2055. By the time ICE bikes are no longer viable to ride (not impossible, just that maybe parts could be more difficult to get hold of) electric bikes and the charging infrastructure will be so much better than it is today.

So today is 7°C outside, I'm the nobike but I decided to go riding on a rental scooter. How the fuck it is at the same time very cold and very hot? I just came home, my thermal underlayer is soaking wet, yet it was cold all the time. The jacket is motorcycle winter jacket picrel, which is one of the best AFAIK.
>>28689595let the clutch out a little, pull it back in, shift
>>28690038ask the dbt gear nerds in here, they sure as hell know how important good gear is
>>28690038Well the whole point of sweating is the evaporative cooling cools you down, so if you're gearing up while you're indoors in the warm and sweating you're going to be even colder once you're outside.
>>28690038I can't speak to your riding situation, because I've never been too hot riding in winter. I do layer for stupid human tricks outdoors in cold weather though, so sweating in winter is definately a thing.I recommend a merino wool base layer, then a lofty mid layer for insulation. A good technical fleece is great here. And then a wind/water proof outer layer. If it's too fucking hot, the mid layer goes back in the pack. I don't thpically like much insulation in my outerlayer unless I'm sitting still for extended periods of time.
I wish I was living in a place where the motorcycle season is all year long.

>>28690126It's nice, amigo.I say that, but I'm in Vegas, where the riding season is opposite the rest of the continent. Right now, it's finally cool enough to ride. Couldn't be happier. It's hog crankin' season and I'm going to crank every chance I get until June when it gets too miserable outside to sit on all that chrome and leather.
