>>28861718>(Dead) (Dead)>early bake just when we were about to get feet pics
RIP (rest in peperony) and BIH (burn in hecc) charmelion tranny, cant beleive 2025 was the same thread every day holy shit
>>28861726>>28861733Feel free to bake the next thread, free-loading niggers. You had hours.
>>28861739hey you did your best and that's all anyone can ask.
>>28861739>>28861739>>28861739should have waited longer for creative inspiration, this thread is boring as fuck but i guess itll do. you ever thought you might be low-t? reason im asking is because when you are low t you are also low in creativity.
the best way to increase your test levels is to ride your motorcycle.just sayin'.
>>28861733>early bake>already at bumpstop crying you faggotnigger
>>28861748i thought it was agreed that the new bread was to be baked at exactly 316 posts but the other thread is currently at 313 posts. you came prematurely.
>>28861752You need to let the thread go deep into the 300s that's when it gets real. Jannies don't even bother protecting cucks after 310.
>>28861752ok so when the thread is off page 1 and the mods are asleep we post sinks? cool.
everybody stopped posting in the old thread after bump limit. four hours with no posts, and then everyone hopped in the new thread. how come you guys weren't talking in the old thread?
>>28861759you are talking to bots
>>28861759>how come you guys weren't talking in the old thread?What is there to talk about, we got tummy pics, were good now. Yamaha.
finedo I want Afriacan Twin or GS?
>>28861769I think the Africar twin looks more cool.
my v-rod battery is herealso why do I have to removed the entire front body just replace a fucking battery?well old battery was 12 years old and it was never been changed until now
>>28861726>>28861766didn't get mine, still waiting on that $400
>>28861763The balance are desperately closeted faggots.
>>28861742desu im still not a fan of immediately new thread the moment it hit bump limitI still rather hold until page 10 or image limit or something
I got my first ride of the season in the day before yesterday on the CB1000. I tipped over stopping for a rail crossing like a retard because I just had the clutch cable adjusted and wasn't used to the friction zone yet; I was stopped on an incline and had throttled into the rear brake, but the clutch plates weren't grabbing yet where they ordinarily would have. Some of my amateur shit habits came back over the winter.
dead thread
>>28861839hate it
Which one did it better?https://youtu.be/P8JSv6WJsN4https://youtu.be/PcsoMLqfFd0Reminder, Chiha has some FAT THIGHS, this is very important when it comes to motorbikes
>>28861723>Clean thread>FinnaWelp, there goes that.
Why is dbt more consistently gay than an average /soc/ thread?Could you faggots not go and start a bike-centric thread there instead? This goes for the thinly-veiled closeted of you, too.

>>28861872>tiktok helmetWhat's that?
>>28861872This aged injury disparity is what initiated a clamp on learner-to-full licensing in NZ.Desk jockeys that learned on 5hp, 500cc bikes hitting midlife and jumping on a 600 with one gorillion horsepowers and necking themselves.

>>28861872lol glad you read into it, whenever I see one of these posts that say “been riding for 20 years” I always check to see their mileage and every single time it’s less than 6000 a year. Wish I could find the post of the guy with the 06 gsxr that had its clutch plates fused together from sitting for so fucking longThe “riding for x years now” qualifier pisses me off to no end
>>28861886Also gotta make sure I get the companion screenshot for this oneSame guy lol
>>28861872This is why all CB are so expensive to insure. I look forward to hopefully lower rates in 2027~2028 when I am looking for a new bike.

Is there any vehicle that attracts women more than Harley?
>>28861906These have been fairly effective in attracting females.I've been very successful in sperging my way out of those situations unscathed.Like the old Finnish saying goes "meinasin saaha pillua, mutta selvisin puhumalla"
>>28861438Took the pilen to the dealership and it was aboslutely full of new bikestried sitting on a 701 sm and it's stupid tall even if it's on 17 inchers,the 390 enduro R seemed as tall as the 701, the SM one was perfect height for me but i don't want another sumo.then i saw they had a drz and i tried sitting on it but man, i only had like my toes touching the ground with half my ass off the seat and the bike was still angled and on the kickstand, at least i had a chance to try and i can confidently say without some height reduction i definetly can't ride that. too bad they don't carry honda stuff if i had the chance to try sit on the crf i would at least tried all the bikes i've been watching recently>>28861506>serow in portugalwow unexpected, to be fair i'm searching on germany/belgium/france and italy, the 225 doesn't even come out as an option on autoscout.the nx i found one but it's a fully restored one for 4k euros, not really worth it

>>28861916Hi Ural anon! Hot as usual <3
>looking at bike storage tents >all expensive and small>local gardening shop has a portable green house for £50>enough room for at least 3 bikes Is this a stupid idea? its clear so obviously its not great for "hiding" the bike, i could throw a tarp over it to keep the light/heat outIs this a retarded idea?
Suzuki is the best brand.
>>28861956Absoulutely not stupid if it can keep it safe from wind and rain. I just use a cheap tarp, it keeps the bike hidden, I don't think people think there is anything expensive under it. But they might IDK, its cheap and it works.
>>28861916>>28861906Smol scoots, cubs and groms. They like smol baiks, not HOGs and not stinky old urals.
>>28861956I mean, you can tarp over it or sptaypaint itIf you have the space a shed isnt hard to build and lock up etc.Of course there are better cheaper options for wverything that isnt namebrand niche bs and youre a lil innovative>>28861968I really should get a scooter just ao i can find a shoomerwife
>>28861962that tarp is probably going to eat the shit out of your paint and hold in water in places where it’ll cause rust
>>28861989Then buy something that doesn't advertise to the world that I have an expensive bike that is easy to steal over here.
>>28861985Senpai, I thought just your aura attracted all the women in a 50-mile radius towards you.

Don’t let inseam troubles hold you back from riding fun bikes. If it’s any consolation when I ride my buddy’s KLX300 I didn’t have any issues at all
>>28862103MT-10s are bretty cool. I've seen one in Central London thundering around with a Racefit exhaust and it generates serious levels of want.

>>28862205>40 male bikers VS 1 female cop (and her dad)>Would you have stopped?I would've raped.
>>28862205the stupid land owner could charge the bikers a fee to use his property. 40 bikers x $20 each = an easy $800. but instead he just wants to stop them from having fun.
>>28861718>>28861718would it make more sense to get a 2015 r3 with 10k miles for like 3800 or a 2023 with 2k miles for 5000? will sell when I’m a grown up rider and can handle an r9 or something.
>>28862282Just get the r9 and don't be stupid. You'll get the feel for casual riding in a day and just stay off the highway until you feel ready. How much do you weigh? If over 170 you have nothing to fear.

>>28861874the black AGV helmet with black visor
Been a while since I’ve had a t shirt ride. Temp hit 80 and the air was just too good, went riding blasting tunes and singing in my helmet all down my favorite coastal roads. Was throwing heart hands at other riders instead of waves and everyone smiled at me. Got like 3 fist bumps at lights and not a single old person grumpy at me.Good vibes, good day, riding in just a t shirt in weather like this feels like being in a pool but you’re also on a crotch rocket. I love motorcycles
>>28862359I saw a dude wearing one of these, with the hoodie/skinnies combo, the $800 all white boots strapping down a bouquet of roses to his R1M in a parking lot recently and I burst out laughing.It’s crazy how some people just totally love the Instagram cliche stuff but I’m sure I also did some lame stuff when I first started riding
>>28862342Hurry up
>>28862465>lame stuff when i started ridingNo i immediately went winter mode apex first year and sneeding tiggit season
>>28861872>Old tiresMany such cases. Some dudes rollin round 10 year tires
>>28862240I assume the organizer probably didnt check with the owner, they probably dont even know it was private property if I mean if bunch of people suddenly ride their dirt bike super fast non stop through my backyard without even telling me I would call a cop toobut getting some small lady cop isnt really reassuring
Why shouldnt I buy CFmoto?
>>28862586reliability problems allegedly even if the ibex looks like a hell of a lot of fun
>>28862566you fuck dudes, which is worse
>>28862282you'll probably be happy with either. If you feel more at ease with the fewer miles, it's only a $1200 difference.
>>28862205Supposedly this guy didn't know where his property line was and assumed that was all his land.
>>28862282personally Id say get older one but they are fine either wayespecially if you plan to sell and swap for R9 or even R1 laterthis isnt chink bike where you stuck with the bike until the end of time you can just sell it to cope back some cash into new bike if you buy them used newer bike have more meme shit like traction control abs or whatever so its more forgiving probably?the main reason I suggest older one cause if you plan to swap them out then its probably to buy them at price floor so you can sell them for minimal loss when you are upgrading to r9, unless you crashed it of course5 years from now a 2015 r3 will probably sell at around 2.5-2.8k still even after you add another 5000 miles on it so thats about 1k lost in valuemeanwhile the 2023 will drop from 5k to like 3.0-3.5k so thats 1.5k+ lostbut then again the different is in couple hundreds so its really doesnt matter and Japanese bike at 10k mileage is barely just finished its run inor maybe a lower mileage less beat up bike is better for you + you get all the fun new tech like ipad screen
>>28862429>R3 anon is hereThread is comfy.I almost never ride in a t-shirt anymore. Debating if I should hit twisties or take my dirt bike out tomorrow.Kind of just want to blast around in the dirt.
>>28861906I have owned literal mopeds, vintage Vespas, and big ass Harleys. They all attract girls, just not the same ones. The biggest difference I guess is that I was a young 20-something guy excited to be in a social setting when riding Vespas. Girls liking my bike back then meant I got laid. I'm now an antisocial middle aged dude, and the only girls who like my bike genuinely like my bike and aren't looking to get plowed by the 50 year old guy with "weird uncle" vibes riding it. The one exception was a woman my own age who was trying to find a second husband. She ended up marrying a dude who looked just like me, so I guess she had a type, but I wasn't looking for a second wife, so there it is.
>>28862695>have owned literal mopeds, vintage Vespas, and big ass Harleys. They all attract girlsnot always truet. virgin incel
>>28862359Agv helmets have always been fashionable. Italian made and rossi replicas, wild designs and colors, but the one in vogue is the Pista, very expensive, so of course all the instafags and foids want to show off.Same people that get a fancy Yamaha or BMW rocket but can only ride straight. Es y ovrtaken on a curve with a 50 2 smoke
>>28861718>finally signed up for brc>gotta buy a sweet bike to turn myself into a two wheel road hazardare all small sport bikes made in India and such nowadays?
is this fixable?
>>28862742sure if you try hard enough I woulnt thobut hows the rider?
>>28862748Nothing much left of him.
>>28862749Can't fix that.
>>28862742Read the Polish news article. Toyota turned left in front of oncoming motorcycle. Instead of calling emergency services the driver fled on foot. Paramedics eventually got there and did CPR, but the rider didn't make it.
>>28862563This is somehow fine, but me qanting every bike in the world to be an Ural is preposterous.
>>28862728>fashionabletheres a difference between "good quality helmet thats also nice" and "i see this ok tiktok so i buy it"like I said, the r*ddit boomer faggot probably thought he was gonna pick up 18y/o chicks wearing his tiktok clown suit ensemble on his leaderbike turns out hes just another cantride nobike cloutchasing retard

>>28862359This guy had a AGV K6S, which is not the insta helmet. Your picture is also a K6(S). The K6 is just a lightweight, relatively affordable, sport/touring helmet. The insta helmet is the Pista GP (picrel), which costs somewhere between 1200 and 1800 euros, depending on the version.

Can I have a first bike recommendation. Something between 700 and 900cc. I drove with an MT07 at the driving school but I want something else even though it's the perfect beginner bike. My dream was pic related but I'm going to leave it for later since it doesn't have any screen and it annoys me that it doesn't. My budget is around 5K/8K€.Not necessarily new.
>>28862465Is this Japan? No way someone outside Japan has a goose with a yoshimure.
>>28862934So what? You want a sport-tourer? Something like a Honda VFR?

Anons, I rode and drove too many hours that too at night last week and I'm tired as fuck.
Lads there's so many beautiful 'kus to pick from and I still haven't found out what kind of a bike I want to roll with, there are the beautiful modern retros like a Kawasaki 650 RS or Yamaha XSR700, naked bikes like the Z650 or MT 07 that I'm interested in or something sportier like a CBR500R or YZF R3 or one of the Ninjas, how do I actually decide? I've sat on most of the ones I mentioned by now but still can't make up my mind

man I been looking for a leather jacket and shit is weirdpeople are wearing leather armored motorcycle jackets that just look like the fashion versions that was made to look like biker jacketshit come full circle
>>28861718Dear anons please help me fix my baik that is cranking but not starting.I believe the problem is that the spark plug isn't firing. I've replaced it, but that didn't fix the problem. Now I guess it must be an electrical problem (but dash, head and tail lights work). I can do regular maintenance myself but I'm otherwise a noobish mekanik. Any tips on how to proceed?
>>28862359>>28862858Idk anything about tiktok but I do know those helmets are lightweight and have all of the crash rating approvals. Idk how lame you gotta be for shaming a relatively good helmet (only downside is cost)
>>28863140Are your lights dimmer than usual?Is your battery fully charged.If your battery is charged, and your lights are dimming then chances are its your Stator / Resistor on the fritz. Which is normal, especially if it's not a brand new bike. Cheap fix, relatively easy. New stator and resistor and whatever gasket(s) you need for the cover(s) you removed to get access to it.You could also check the spark plug wires to make sure they're actually hooked up proper after checking the spark plugs themselves
>>28862882>its so easy for police/detectives to trace a car back to an individual,I reckon the driver was either drunk or the car was stolen.
>>28863141>Idk how lame you gotta be for shaming a relatively good helmetGoogle says that the AGV iRides helmet is "good" but I hate it because it creaks constantly which pisses me off. I'm wearing this helmet for ten hours a day and while I can say that it's reasonably comfortable, all I can hear is this fucking creaking and I have to hold my head perfectly still when people are talking to me or I can't hear them over the creaking. I can't even hear my own thoughts half the time. Maybe it's just this model that AGV sells but in my experience (with this one model) I have to say that AGV are shit.
>>28863145>Are your lights dimmer than usual?No.>Is your battery fully charged.Yes. In fact I've drained cranking it and then hooked it up to a battery starter to keep trying until I gave up for the day.>If your battery is charged, and your lights are dimming then chances are its your Stator / Resistor on the fritz. Which is normal, especially if it's not a brand new bike. Cheap fix, relatively easy.

Beginner rider here. Thoughts on this affordable motorcycle jacket. I only ride in a traffic ridden city in a 125cc motorcycle so I don't think I need to invest much. Most riders here don't even wear a jacket just wear t shirt.Also looking at cheap Amazon helmets thats ECE certified.
just passed my rider skills test! now all I have to do is go to the dmv and I can ride my bike without it being technically illegal
>>28863401
>>28863401>just passed my rider skills testthird time lucky?
>>28863401Congrats!
>>28863405second. I failed the skills test during the brc. they said $250 to retake the course. I said fuck that. practiced on my own time and went through the other route to get a license in my state.
>>28863426how did you fail the 1st time?
>>28863428dropped the bike during the emergency stop. not really sure how. instructor said I had the handlebars turned which didn't make sense to me because it's all a straight line. I'm guessing I just panicked and jerked too much as I squeezed the brake.even if I didn't do that I probably would have failed on points because of how poorly I did on the U turn
>>28863432i dropped the bike several times during my test but i still passed because i'm have no gag reflext. 18/f/cali
>>28863434hey r3, thanks for the tum tum pics :3
>>28863432Emergency stop is "stopping quickly in a controlled manner". 30 feet is perfectly good because the highway code tells you your reaction time ought to be 15 feet and your stopping distance 30 feet.Don't go for ten feet, just don't.

>>28863643I know soneone that failed for being too cautious and taking too many rear observations.Sometimes it's down to the examiner.My instructor (you have to take instruction here) told me not to waste money on lessons because I could drive.Nailed it.
>>28863643couldn't be me
>>28863333Checkout kyt helmets too. For gear, I'd get gloves, boots first. Then maybe jacket and pants.Just buy used jacket and pants.
>>28863654>taking too many rear observations"Cagers could be here..." he thought, "fuck the jannies, with a 'ku; you can cruiser life best life and go anywhere" he said to himself, alone, in the middle of the highway gas station, reminiscing of the shoomerwife he couls have had, but didn't"Damn" he scoffed, "i shoulsve married that japanese qt and made her into a shoomerwife">i just typed and said that"No you didnt" shoomer replied, "i did, to myself and God's ears ONLY"Shoomer finished refueling his fantasy bike, the ducatti 698 mono, of which he also overloaded just like his crf450rl, the suspension noticably sagging and axle lugnut about to friction weld itself just like the last time"Fuck yeah" shoomer said, after strapping on his kfc bucket, "time to make the coast to coadt new vegas tendie run a reality-"Cmon start you italian stallion-"Oh no no no no"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH">with a working bike, that is"SHUT UP NARRATOR, YOU FAGGOT">i am thee and thou art me, but i am real and (((you))) are not"No, not again, not the-">time machine pills?"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH">wake up shoomer>WAKE UPAHHHHHHHBHHH
>>28863679Helmet gloves boots jacket in that order, legs are useful too (spend about 1000). My head is AGV shaped, helmets are best if they stay on your head.
>>28863680>taking too many rear observationsI forget the guys name, he's long gone, had a honda cub from the sixties and was just trying to comply with the current rules.I'm sure someone inherited it.
>>28863654>failed for being too cautiousI didn't fail but I only got one question wrong in the written test and it was because I was being too cautious.>What would you do if you were in the right lane and you approached a stationary car in the left lane with it's right indicator onMy answer: I'd merge left, slow down, and let the car complete it's u-turn manoeuvre. Because in reality; cars that are stationary in the left lane have their hazard lights on and only turn on their indicator when they are about to attempt their u-turn. So I have to assume that this car didn't see me and is about to turn across in front of me. But that was deemed to be incorrect by my instructor because I'm supposed to simply ignore the car and continue on in the right lane.
>>28863694I'd avoid the accident.I bet that isn't a multichoice answer.A: Allow the guy to merge into traffic
>>28863500>SuperMoto, Sumo or supermotardSupermono aka big thump racer
>>28863694>But that was deemed to be incorrect by my instructor because I'm supposed to simply ignore the car and continue on in the right lane.I'm with you. IRL I assume that guy does not see me and is about to hook out in front of me. I'd rather assume a cager is homocidally retarded than risk being technically correct but declared dead by paramedics at the scene. I would at least slow down and do The Wiggle™ to enhance my visibility.
Redpeel me on knee braces for dirty duty. There's a good deal on a pair by me if the dang guy would log into fbmarketplace and read his messages.LET ME GIVE YOU MONEY IN EXCHANGE FOR GOODS
>>28863859The only redpill i have for you is twoOne is, you can get medical insurance to 100% cover the cost of these, had a stealership lady tell me this onceAnd secondly, only medical ones are gonna fit you, larp tier ones might offer some protrection but not at the same level as medical ones "fitted" to you in a sense, theyre adjustable to a degree but its like orthotics for the soles of your feetYou get what you pay for also with non medical ones, so if they pair you found are comfy at first feel, rememver youll probs be sweaty and are going to cinch up whatever textile youre wearing if theyre not comfortable alreadyIf you have medical insurance for a write off, id get a pair this way, its the best option
>>28863890Aaah, like the CTI and Donjoy? I was wondering about that. I wasn't even considering mobius, because they look cheap, until I read reviews. but you know how people are about that kind of stuff.Good to know. thanks
>>28863859>Redpeel me on knee braces for dirty duty>dirty dutyIf 'dirty duty' involves fellatio then you definitely need knee pads.
>>28862728Are the kids really brandfagging helmets? Damn that's gay. I ride in an $80 Walmart helmet with a shit ton of stiggers on it. Also new bar on da harley what do y'all think
>>28863925thats a good lookin bikeI was riding with a cheap helmet for a while, and having a nice helmet really does make a difference. My "nice" helmet is probably on the lower range of mid-shelf, but It's very comfortable and quiet.

Harleyfags, is Thrashin shit for bags or not? They have a strong social media presence, but so does Viking and their bags are all cheap shit. It seems like they're coming out with the holy grail of Dyna bags, a bit smaller than leatherpros and basically a hard shell dressed as a soft bag. It's tempting. >>28863859Just buy old-fashioned knee/shin guards>>28863513If you haven't ridden one you probably won't get it.
>>28863957>If you haven't ridden one you probably won't get it.I don't need to ride a dirt bike on the road to know that it will suck more than riding my road bike on the road. Similarly I don't need to fuck my dad's anus to know that I'm not gay.

>>28863986I recently saw an ad looking to hire motorcycle couriers, but I got my first speeding ticket a few months ago. Does that disqualify you?
>>28863992Low range speeding is OK but high range speeding will cause an account deactivation. As will any DUI.>>28863991No. I work for Portier Pacific and carry anything from medicines to tradies supplies who are on the job and basically anything that fits in my delivery bag (including food).
>>28863994What's your work tempo like?
>>28863994Got it, thanks. Maybe I'll head over there and talk to someone.
>>28863998Work tempo? I do anywhere between 20-40 deliveries a day, depending on the day.
>>28864001So you're picking up and dropping off something every 20 minutes, give or take?
>>28864006Depends on the time of day and which area I choose to work in but mostly I don't have to wait more than a few minutes before I get another delivery request. I have to go 'offline' to get fuel and take break or my phone will won't stop buzzing with delivery requests.
>>28863994so like pizza delivery?or uber?
>>28864011Pizza boxes won't fit in my delivery bag.
>>28863991yes
>>28864012>my delivery bag
>>28864007If I lived somewhere warm year round I would probably try this.Do you still ride for pleasure off the clock, or is all your riding related to work?
>>28864012wheres your delivery topbox?
>>28864014bro is the markets solution to minimum wage laws
>>28864016I have one or two days off every week and I avoid riding if I can. I think that absence makes the heart grow fonder and I enjoy riding more after taking a day or two off. I'll ride on my day off if I have to but only to get to one destination, like a friend's house, and back. I won't spend all day on the bike on my day off.

>>28863598>vstrom 250Morini x-cape 1200. Just a chinese tiktoker playing to the gooners with the outfit.
>>28864058>ever since I got my modular lid I realized I spend more time riding with the chin up than full face modeI was the same. My first helmet was a modular but I never had the chin down so every helmet after that has been open face. I love feeling the wind on my face.
>>28864062I went the other way. Started with a half helmet, then bought a modular. It weighed a ton and I never actually lifted the front up anyway, so I switched to a regular full face and stuck with that.
>>28863598>vstrom 250This baik is just too smol.
>>28863141should've replied w/ >>28863313theres 2 versions of very similar helmets, that normies cant differentiate between because its "dark helmet with italian flag on it"
>>28864098As someone that has had a 130mph 250cc bike before I can't see a road spec Vstrom 250 keeping up with traffic. It makes sense with the Japanese licencing system though.Pic is full fat.
>>28864062Open face is not a good idea if you are ever considering falling off.The first time I watched the road grind away the visor on my open face helmet I decided full face was the future.Faces are quite convenient for things like putting food into, speaking to people and similar such activities.
>>28864146To add to that, women already find my face repulsive, I'll only get worse with a ground down face. Just wear full face ece 22.06 helmet anons.

>>28863333I would agreed with most anon thatthe list should beHelmet > glove > boot > jacket > pantsbut on some region where its hot, sometime people grab a jacket firstanyway going around in 125cc scoot and dress up like a biker will make you look like a mall crawler (which you shoulnt care)personally I would get something like an armored hoodie, with the thin armor insert like the new d3o or sas tec pad, you can wear it all day evenbut if you are scooting you should have space to put any kind of jacket under the seat anyway so thats moot
>>28864208Knee braces are a wonderful thing because cruciate ligaments are a one and done thing.I can't recommend a good one because I girled out to roadbikes.

How old is too old for a tire from a dealership if it's not stored correctly? Friend picked me up a set of Michelin Pilot 2s and the the rear is old stock that's dated 07/22. Signs of blooming and the rubber on the tread is super hard. Should it be taken back? They were supposed to even order a new rear from the factory when my friend showed me the date with the picture and told him I wanted fresher tires.
