>racing engine from the future
I meant the BMW F850GS, but this is cool too. GS500 also have more power than my current bike. I saw a F750GS for sale, it was a good deal, but I didn't like the alloys and lower seat height. I wonder if F850GS anon's bike got cubed. Stupid insurance jannies and stupid BMJew.
Lets take Yamaha back from the YamaJews. Don't feed (you)s to R7 and R9 posters.
Post spookie stories with motorcycles
>>28695697Sorry senpai, this >>28695701 was for you. Maybe I should stop whining and get a VStrom 650 instead.
>>28695704Lost traction in the back while doing a sharp left turn. There was mud and water. Nothing bad happened. I would not have got hurt from the fall, but I'd have been run over by some or the other vehicle.
>>28695703Why can't they make more bikes like this? Don't they know it was their best design ever?
>>28695709Mmmm, I loved the RN32 in black/gold.
>>28695711Sorry, the RN22.Fat fingers typed this apology.
>>28695701>>28695705I'll always shill Suzuki, but there are plenty of sub 1000CC "adventure" bikes out and they're all pretty decent.Just try to avoid Indians and the Chinese.

>>28695709>>28695713>>28695721For me its the facelift. Its went from insane (unfocused) to insane (focused)
Got work on saturday, good excuse to ride. Ever since I turned 30 I kinda stopped speeding and lane splitting, is that normal?
>>28695734>is that normal?Yes. Risk to reward ratio starts being more meaningful because as you get older you have more to lose and the percieved rewards of risky become less appealing.
F850GS for 1500USD more than F750GS, is it worth it? IMO yes.
>>28695734>kinda stopped speeding and lane splittingI'm happy for you anon. Also sweet viffer.
>>28695704Going to work early one morning, as I take the corner to the on ramp for the bypass there is a black girl wearing all white standing in the middle of the road holding some cardboard.Freak out because I wasn't sure if it was a sleep deprived hallucination or not.Dodged pass her, she doesn't even flinch. Check my mirrors and there was no one there.
>>28695734>is that normalYeah I had a day where I lost my shit and I went full blitz. After the ride I just sat on my bike stared at the sky and said "I'm going end up dead if I don't calm down"This was about a month after I turned 30.
>>28695704>Riding my bike, realized I forgot to get gas at the last station.>Was already past the halfway point to the next town on the highway.>Engine started sputtering.>Reached down to check my petcock.>It was already on reserve.
>>28695739
>>28695734I still split (legal) but my delta has dropped down to like 15mph and I don't bother over 35 much anymore. I'm in much less of a rush these days.So many fucking new-to-driving asians and jeets on the road now, I drop down to like 5mph if I come up to a toyota aqua, prius or other shit like nissan tiida's. Brand new huge SUV's that I have a 9/10 success rate on guessing if they're asian are big no-no's too, half of them can't even see over the dash it's absolutely unreal.
>>28695744EVERY FUCKING TIME>Run on RES for a tad, get gas>Don't switch it back to PRI>Ha ha, ODO says I have 40km left
New helmy
Jeeta on scoota, I need one of those.
>>28695751I think my first road bike helmet was a SHARK.Black chrome! Great for an edgy 250cc banshee rider.
>>28695754No brain, no pain.
>>28695775Women here who ride say their hair gets messed up, so they don't wear helmet. They are stupid.
>>28695792I think it's 50/50 they get away with using that as an excuse and too fucking lazy to wear a helmet. I bet they'll look hot and presentable when their lack of neuron connections leak out on the pavement.As a guy with long hair, I just chuck my shit in a bun. That said, I don't lather my hair with product because I am not a vapid whore.Either you arrive in a car with presentable hair or you wear a helmet.
>>28695796When I had long hair, just till shoulder, I just wore a hair band and helmet on top.
>>28695796>I just chuck my shit in a bun.Doesnt it bunch up against the helmet? I found the best for me is braiding it
>>28695798Really wish I didn't take a picture. I had no idea my bald spot was so fucking bad, like someone parked the fucking death star on my noggin.
>>28695802Low bun, like between my shoulders low. It stops everything insta-knotting and getting caught in my bag zippers.
>>28695806I don’t know how to do that, I hate bands and having it tight tho
>>28695805Bosley can move hair from yore but crack onto yore head
>>28695817Maybe you need a looser band. I just do the first pull as a ponytail, the second one I abort halfway so the 'bulge' of hair loop is trapped halfway between the bulge and tail. Idk how else to describe it other than with a faggy picture.
>>28695684V-TWIN SUPER SPORT
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZCV1sQ2QOkIbex 450MT engines are exploding.>This valve guide problem is not uncommon and is known to CFMOTO. The cylinder head part number has been changed which means the new ones have been changed. There are two symptoms that indicate this problem. As in this video, abnormal oil consumption. The second is the presence of oil in the air box (which happened to my customer) with a loss of power. The cylinder head and both pistons were replaced under warranty.

I'm getting an itch to change my original license plate holder but I live in the italy and laws about that are ass, talk me out of it.
>>28695880There was no fucking way that KTM, RE, and CFMoto were undercutting every other manufacter with labor savings alone when they dropped bikes at the $4-6k price point. Something has to give in the materials and QC. People lost their fucking minds when Suzuki priced the drz4s at $9k when they called it a $7k bike, but maybe it was most offsetting increased wages and material costs.If it's anything like their ATV line, warranty will cover the first owner, but the user market is going to be rough.
>>28695929for ktm at least I know they've been making those 390 engines for a long time with a lot of sales, so unless something has changed I'd think the engine at any rate would be deecthe rest of the bike, though - fit & finish - who knows.

Only semi-related, but I've ased some engineering and tuning companies for free stickers. I'd like to put some of them on my bike's belly pan (aftermarket) before having a paint shop put a clear coat over it.Pic related is what arrived in a small envelope today, really happy about it.
>>28695832Ah I see now, the football player hairdo. Never tried itThe bands usually fly off or start falling down >>28695950>shove it in the jacketYours doesn't knot inside the jacket?
here's the coolest thing you see today https://www.youtube.com/shorts/SXRevUMAkTU
I have a wheel size that isn’t calibrated for my speedometer. What solutions do I have? I’ve heard about bike speed sensors, are they any good?
Braaaaaaap
>>28695703Tripples are based.
Just got in some gerbing heated gear I didn’t know they were local to me, just an hour away in Philly (I’m north of the city). Very cool. Looking forward to this years winter riding
>>28695675rip sef
>>28696030Speedohealer, it just plugs in the speed sensor and accommodates the alterations.>>28695684Oh yup, burn that rubber twin.
>>28695937Only thing going for the ktms made in India is cheap spares and anyone being able to fix it. Every single other manufacturer has better quality but more expensive spares. Atleast that's the jeetland perspective.
>>28695805Bruh, if I see you on a bike and see that hair, I'd be so disappointed findout out that you are a man, my entire day would be ruined. I dream of big titty germ waifu in tight leathers with long hair peeking out of her helmet. I can only get so hard, I should stop typing.
>>28695950>>his hair isnt naturally straightMine isn't either, its wavy. It'd be so cool to have the straight hair like nihon gals. Anyway, I cut it because I started getting crazy hairfall.
>>28696043Where are your mates? The bike is going to feel lonely.
>>28696057Indeed they are, I wanna see what Honda is cooking with V3. Mt-09 is not very exciting. Triumphs are alright I think.
>>28696096Is that really your bike?
>>28696096double pipes are cool ngl
>>28696130Have you ridden an MT09? Why would separating the cylinders across two heads make any difference other than sound? Not even really, depending on the firing interval.
>>28696141Why does it look like a bug? Checkmate. XSR900 is fugly, I don't even want to talk about the other bike, it makes me so angry that it exists.
>>28696144Oh I see, you're the Lawrence chomo, not anyone who's actually worth talking to.
>>28696165>chomoWTF? KYS nigger.
Anons, 2022 F850GSA, with a lot of mods, 20k kms, two owners. I think it's my time to jump. Only thing I don't like is that its sold by a dealer, I so I won't get as good a deal. Used bike dealers are no joke.
>>28696171Lawrenceville*
>>28696130Mt09, r9, xsr, tracer 9 all need a tune to fix second gear.

>>28696307>Emissions regulations have led to the removal of the Suzuki SV650 from European markets but it is returning to the U.S. for 2026.
>>28696135Yes, my dream machine 03' SP2.>>28696139The stock cannons are ten pounds A PIECE. These carbon cans weigh HALF of that!It's my favorite motorcycle of all time.
>>28696311LOL California is SO lax about motorcycle emissions. And Canada accepts a California emissions EO as evidence of compliance for emissions so that's all of North America there.
i posted before about checking out a drz400 and a wr250r. well i went and checked them both out, and now i'm kinda unsure what to pick.i used to do single track and some motocross stuff when i was a kid. that's what i have experience with and i miss. i'd probably be better served with an actual dirt bike, but it's hard to beat the maintenance intervals of dualsports, plus the ability to connect trails on the road or just ride around town. i don't actually have any experience at all street riding so i don't know how much of that i'd like. in my mind i'd like to imagine i'd do 90-10 offroad-street.the wr250r is bone stock, and the drz has a full yoshi exhaust, fc39 carb and seatconcepts seat, plus a set of rally tires. but i'd probably still have to spend like 600$ or so if i wanted new wheels/tires for more hard offroad stuff. the drz definitely feels more topheavy. i'm 5'10". it's doable, but i can definitely see how people say the wr feels more nimble. i rode both around a little bit but i haven't been on a bike in so long i didn't go crazy. both feel fine.what do you think i should go with? i really don't know and i'm just taking other people's opinions on this. my concerns are that the drz would be too heavy for slower technical offroad stuff. people say the wr feels more like a dirtbike. but maybe i'd like street stuff, and the drz is definitely more set up for that, especially with the performance mods this guy put on it. the drz is for sure more powerful. the wr seems more technically demanding (but maybe more fun once you figure it out? more clutch control is required compared to just tractoring through on the DRZ). it's also a lighter bike with an aluminum frame and a lower center of gravity. so easier to manhandle on trails.
>>28696269FUN FACT! The world record longest wheelie was performed on a scooter>Yamaha Jog 125cc scooter>500.5 kilometres>over 13 hours>average speed of about 40 km/h (25 mph)
>>28695929100%. Drz is expensive because you get a j-vin vehicle. Not jeet or chink sloppa.
>>28696331If he had a proper backrest on that thing he could have gone longer.
I fucking love riding, today was pretty epic.It was a great day weather wise, so I took the bike to the gym. When I was about to leave, some old guy came up and asked for a soundcheck and asked me about the bike. Chatted with him for a bit, took the long (5 hours) way home.Met a lot of bikers, all waved back. Stopped at local store for some food and to swap GoPro batteries, some guy asked about how fast the bike goes and chatted a bit about the driving habits about people here and how it was for him back home. Continued, Sunlight was absolutely magnificent color wise. Got waved through to pass three times, lot of people took their prides and joys for a ride, the boyracers are using every excuse to blast that they can get anyways, so it was a proper Forza Lobby feeling for what was possibly one of the best autumn days we will get here.Thanks for reading the blog, there's no way for you to unsubscribe
>>28696096>Speedohealer sorry i have an old bike
>>28696340i think his backrest is fine but imagine sitting on a bike for >13 hours balancing on one wheel. i think i would've quit after 8 or 9 hours.
>weather finally starting to get nice>time to get the bikes ready for the season>bike 1 fork seals weeping oil>bike 2 battery dead, quickshifter not working for some reason>bike 3 low on oil, spare fluids all somehow buried in storage>bike 4 timing chain moments from disaster, gas all turned to goo and carb slide is sticky>bike 5 in the middle of a wiring harness rebuildfffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuwhy the fuck have I done this. I need to get rid of at least two motorcycles.

>>28696177
>>28696348>bike 1 works>bike 2 works>bike 3 works>bike 4 works whats the problem? get out there
>>28695929>People lost their fucking minds when Suzuki priced the drz4s at $9k when they called it a $7k bike, but maybe it was most offsetting increased wages and material costs.People called it a 7K bike because that's how much the DRZ-400 sold for, and was like that for over a decade.Regardless, things have changed (for the worse) and manufacturing in general isn't what it used to be. I don't know how Suzuki or any of the big four can even have factories in Japan that use Japanese parts to make Japanese engines with the way things are going. Much less sell anything under 10K.
gonna go pick up muh vstrom tomorrow. never driven a motorcycle trailer before.

>crashes while going 2x the speed limit:>bro my tires were cold>bro there was gravel on the road>bro there was oil on the road>bro there was a crack on the roadwhy are you like this
>>28696407i wouldn't be doing 2X the speed limit if my tyres were cold
>>28696413the point is people always blame everything except the stupid speed they were riding at
>>28696414lel. did the man on the telly tell you that "speed kills"?kekspeed limits sre 30 km/h too slow to compensate for the lowest common denominator
>>28696418> did the man on the telly tell you that "speed kills"?are you implying it doesn't? doesn't take a vert large brain to realize that the faster you go the longer it takes to slow down not to mention the typical excuses like gravel and potholes show up way quicker the faster you are going and then you can't do shit about it and then proceed to blame said things
>>28696424speed only determines the severity of an impact if there is an impact but if you can avoid the impact then speed is irrelevanttldr: just don't crash bro
>>28696424>gravel and potholes show up way quicker the faster you are goingbikes are much more nimble than cars so bikes can steer around suck obstacles to avoid themalso, why is there gravel on the road? this doesn't happen in 1st world countries.

Which broke the original subframe's brazing in a couple of spots.Probably been long enough to talk about it since I never heard a peep from the police afterwards.

I had been telling myself that I wanted a bike for a few years, so I did a thing. Thought I wanted an older carbureted sv, but everyone wanted decent money for clapped out ones and I figured I'd be in more money than I got this one for and I just wanted to ride and not futz with it a bunch. It's fun being new at something again.

Been thinking about quitting my job, but that means losing the work car which means commuting to my next job by bike. I'm worried I'd start hating the ride and stop going cruising on the weekends. Have any of you been in this position? Thoughts?

>>28696808It's like a bell curve, at first it's fun and tedious, then it becomes a chore, but after a while, it is life. Some never learn to move past the feeling of riding like it's a chore. Others need to ride regardless of reason. When i commute, I commute, but on my way back, sometimes I have no other real plans for the night and that let's me wander without having to beat the laziness of wearing riding gear because it's already on and I'm already on my bike. Good rain and winter gear makes bad weather riding tolerable
>>28696374>>28696576yeah unfortunately i think you guys are right. the sound stands out to me a lot. the drz is like a fucking boat, but the wr rips. i think that drz in >>28696329is a good deal for a drz. like if i wanted a supermoto bike, there it is. the guy did all the stuff, and i don't think the price is nuts. so part of me is convinced i should just jump on the drz now. but in reality i could just wait and i imagine a better wr250r would come up. especially as we go into winter. it'd be mad gay if i ended up getting the wr and it turns out i really like doing wheelies on the street, though. am i deluding myself by thinking it's a good deal on the drz? should i just sit tight and wait for what i /think/ i really want?

>>28695880Beaners in Mexico also had these issues with something on the engine making a noise that isn't normal, the biggest problem is usually that the ones selling the bikes have turbo-shit tier mechanics.>>28695929>>28696333New DRZ sucked since Suzuki simply threw an LED light on it plus adding the stuff that is now mandatory (ABS, Eurocuck5+ emission,etc) and raised the price, they really fucked it up not giving it an actual TFT display with a better menu navigation, but more importantly, not having 6th gear these days on a dual sport is fucking criminal.>>28695937Jeet made KTMs usually cheap out on the bolts and other things, the engines are aluminum and in the older gen dukes, mostly gen 1, had valve clearance issues that lead to blown gaskets. Some say its with the "bigger Bajaj" engine, yet me personally I've seen more of the 200cc engine fail than the other. The engines are pretty much made the same, the 390 engine has better valves and a forged piston, but the block they use is almost mainstream on all of them, depending of the CC they just make bore bigger, bet the new LC4c is just a slightly bigger bore and not much else. 390's engine more than anything, are prone to overheat and kick the cooling fans soon when not in movement.
>>28696433no
>>28696814How long is your commute? Mines about 45 minutes each way at the moment and I don't know if I trust Sydney traffic enough to let me survive 7.5 hours a week>>28696835>sometimes I have no other real plans for the night and that let's me wanderThis does really appeal to me... maybe it won't be so bad...
>>28696894>How long is your commute?30 minutes, 15 of it at 80mph, the rest at red lights
>>28696329I have a WR250R and my brother has a DRZ400E.Honestly both bikes are great and you'll just get used to what you buy. For me, I didn't want to fuck with carbs and I valued light weight. For my brother, he wanted something cheap, reliable and easy. The DRZ is easy to get over here and cheap, but the WR is harder to find. I'm jealous of how the DRZ rips on the road but off road the WR has plenty of power. The Apprentice Adventurer has great videos showing what the DRZ is good athttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9-ItdkHqmsAsk yourself these questions >Do I want carb or EFI?>Can I deal with the lower power of the WR on the road?>What kind of riding do I want to do? Am I going out to the trails for day trips or do I want to do multi day adventures all over the place?
>>28696844Senpai, do I get the GS? It'll be my first big bike, I own a 300 now.
>>28696329Get the new DRZ.

>>28696909
>>28696900>Do I want carb or EFI?i don't care frankly. i grew up with carbed bikes so i don't really know what i'm missing out on>Can I deal with the lower power of the WR on the road?i don't wanna do much road riding if i can help it>What kind of riding do I want to do? Am I going out to the trails for day trips or do I want to do multi day adventures all over the place?i'll be honest i haven't been on a bike in a decade. i used to ride trails in the woods and jump shit on an ancient 2 stroke. i don't know if i'd even like road riding. i miss ripping it through power line clearings.i think this is a slick drz and it just needs new wheels and i'd have something that could do both road and offroad. or i could sit on my hands and wait for a good deal on a wr. in my mind i think i'd prefer the wr but that's not based on anything other than reading other people's opinions online.or maybe i want some other bike i dunno. i've narrowed it down to the wr and drz but maybe there's other shit i should be looking at
>>28696928WR and DRZ are the only true dual sports on the market (maybe the 690 too). Everything else leans to one side or the other (more off-road focused or more road focused). The other thing to check before you pull the trigger is if you can find the off-road wheels for the drz. My mate had a 690 with Supermoto wheels and had a hell of a time finding off-road wheels for it. I think you'd be happy with either, just ride it and don't think too much about it.

>>28696922Why is it so qt?
now THIS is cute
>>28696941he's got a set of pirelli scorpion rally tires with the drz. not offroad knobbies but yeah. i was looking it up and you can just put the drz400s (offroad) wheels on it no problem. and those are like 500-600$ usually on fb marketplace/ebay. the offroad wheels are bigger.i'll offer the guy 3500$ for it and see what he says. if he's firm on 4k i think i'll let it go
>>28696991Reminder that the XR650R and DRZ400E are road legal in Australia from factory
>>28696999checked and based as hell

>>28697034Guys, if you're planning to keep riding in cold, please remember cold asphalt is dangerous in the morning and especially if there's ice somewhere and don't forget to heat up your tiers before taking turns

>>28697111 what you want them to piss fuel and slip over from their auto-kickstands or something
>>28697068Hello anon, jeet kun here. I stay in India, what is the problem? I thought you hated it when we came to your country.
>>28697114R3 is a guy though.
A few weeks ago i mentioned here how my buddy just got his first bike back and was hanging out with a bike crew that has way more powerful bikes and would likely crash trying to keep up with themWell it finally happened, he "mistook a tight turn for a more open one" and fellLuckily it wasnt a huge fall, just a few bruises, but i know this wont be the last by far, and its only been like 2-3 months since he started ridingHes the most into sports bikes and speed in our friend group, the rest of us have naked bikes or cruisers, but the rest of us also dont hang out with random crews that are into powerful sports bikes and doing wheelies

Are there any electric motorbikes that dont hide the fact they're electric? So many have fake gas tanks, fake air intakes, etc, picreli wonder how an electric motorbike would look if it embraced the fact its NOT a regular motorbike
>>28697121But male dick.
>>28697132Bmw, ce02, ce04?
>>28697132be careful what you wish for
>>28697132Himalayan electric, stark varg?
>>28697130 you should say that instead of soul anon "soul" is the excuse ducati owners use for whenever their shit explodes
>>28697120Tell him anon. Maybe tell his siblings or mother.
>>28697136oh yeah those look pretty cool and definatelly arent forcing themselves to look "normal">>28697138how do you even sit on that wtf>>28697139Those look pretty standard but they dont seem to be pretending to be combustion engines at least
>>28697111Checked, but anon why don't they hire better looking girls? Only Suzuki gets it right.
>>28697138>>28697143Look at all the ground clearance. It's for the pothole ridden future roads.
I hope stark succeeds.
>>28697132they're concept bikes now

>>28695675my bike's motor has a problem, I believe valves are to be registered, will I be able to fix it at home by myself? I have the feeler gauge, do I need another special tool for this job?
>>28697147Nah he dies in the last film, didn't you hear?
>>28697151>>28697152>>28697154>>28697156the center of gravity is up in the sky on these, are they gambling on the extreme weight of long range battery packs to pull the COG down?
>>28697130Dumb nigger. A motogp team for what purpose? To piss millions away for nothing?Kawasaki need to:>Make their bikes a bit prettier>Add a higher trim level to all their smaller sportsbikes (market them up as RR with forged wheels and akras to make them sexy and sell at higher margin). >Bring back the H2 halo model, people miss that shit. Make sure every dumb nog motovlogger gets to rip one on their channel.>UPDATE THE FUCKING Z900RS Jesus christ it's been good for them but everyone else is catching up. >Make a proper supernaked, the ZH2 is just a bit fat and cruisy. Either use the SC unit in something lighter and racier or make the ZX-10R more upright and naked.>Make a few more models of the Versys, it's so unsexy and could play into the adventure LARP everyone wants right now. Also throw in the SC engine to take on thr Multistrada and M1000XR
>>28697179>To piss millions away for nothing?Maybe to actually win the greatest racing championship in the world at least once in 75 years?
>>28697165If you motorcycle is you only mode of transport. Don't do it.Torque wrench is probably the only other tool.
>>28697165>valves are to be registeredWhat? You mean adjusted? Are you sure you can even adjust them, in a lot of jao bikes you just shim them.
>>28697187Not without $100M+ investment with no guaranteed financial return. Clearly top level series aren't even their priority now given they're campaigning WSBK as Bimota.
>>28697190>we build space ships n shit but we can afford racing motorcycles Lame, that's why no one likes them. Even in Japan it's just a boomer brand like Buick
>>28697161It's just a concept, their real EVs look normal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2V0znCYhtlU
>>28697199DESU prefer the concept.An electric motorcycle is not constrained by traditional design.The motor can be placed anywhere and can take whatever shape it wants as long as it has two wheels.Manufacturers have yet to understand this.
>>28697172CoG on a bike is different than in cars, higher CoG gives agility at the cost of stability and the opposite for lower CoG
Shoomed today. New sprockets and new chain feels so good.
spend a good chunk of time searching for my motorbike keys and gloves with my servant, we couldnt find it at allwhere the hell did i leave them?? worst case scenario someone stole both or i dropped them in my huge backyard somehow, thank god i have a copy of the key
Found some keys on the ground near a bike today. Tested them and they work. Put an airtag on it, so I'm gonna go and pick it up tonight.
Saw a brown person picking up something from the ground near my house, I guess he found a penny or something
>>28697197What is the point of MotoGP? Atleast Dakar is interesting and WSBK is cool too. I wish they allowed 650cc twins in Dakar and we could buy those bikes. 450cc single is not very interesting as a bike that I'd want to buy. Even if not Dakar bikes, I want Dakar inspired bikes.
>>28697214 Stop being a nig*** and give it back Jamal.
>>28697237No, and I'm keeping the gloves. They's comfy.

>>28697268TL1000S.I only got the front up a little on the 3rd run after growing a pair.
>>28697188>>28697189yes, I mean put in new shims, should I buy a shim kit that comes with 4pz for each shim size instead of the 1pz kit? I guess I lol buy the 4px one since I think it's better in the long term, and 5.25 NM dyno torque wrench
Just responded to 3 marketplace ads. Might be getting a new bike.DrzDrXrWe’ll see. The drz is the best deal and the one I’m most interested in.
>>28697276>xr150? 650l? 650r?
>>28697282650s but they are pricey over 4500 asking We’ll see!

>>28697242Isn't that a good thing?
>>28697245T7 is but why are twins not allowed in Dakar?
>>28697298If it's a 650r that some.old.guy already added a starter to, don't be a fool, anon.

Gonna get a intercom bros
How fucked am i if i get a phone holder with no dampeners? will my phone break or fall off when i hit a bump on the road
>>28697377your bike vibrates a lot more than you think it does, phone won't break it will just be unreadable
>>28697382ok so my main issue is that in aliexpress/temu i see either dampened phone holders, or waterproof phone holders, but seems like nobody thought of combining the two things into a holderis there a way to make my phone waterproof by myself before putting it in the dampened holder
>>28697370I already got one to talk to your mom. Who are you riding with?
>>28697331nah, there is a 650R for sale as well, but i need a plated bike
>>28697403lmfao
>>28697370You have friends? That's something new on 4chins.
>>28697391Plastic bag? Aren't all phones splash proof these days?
>>28696177I messaged him, let's see. I'm a bit nervous, it's a lot of money for a bike.
>>28697081NO way you ride like that, doesn't your hair knot?
>>28697143>15k shit, that's how much they cost? I knew a guy that delivered with one of thosewhat a bourgeois

>>28697382grabbed my brother's phone mount for bicycles and put a cloth between the clamp and the handlebarsThe cloth alone seemed to negate most of the vibrations coming from my bikeI dont think you need those fancy dampened mounts, just something soft here and there to absorb vibrations
>>28697370Dont fuck it up buying those, get the Ejeas V6 if you are buying a cheapo one.Also Fuck Kikeardo.
>>28697710whats kikeardo>Ejeas V6those buttons are retarded, why did chang think having 7 tiny buttons was a good idea? theres no way you can operate that comfortably with gloves on
