>>28881940>>28880290Are those Custom Taylor 33s? I've had a set for like 4 years I never put on.
>>28881940how hard it is to learn basic maintenance for a motorbike?
The Torrance DMV motorcycle course. I've never done it before (I did the CSMP course). But I had to come to the DMV to get the registration paid up on my 4 door and while I had some time to kill I did the slalom and the loop a few times. Really not that hard.
>>28881944people here say it’s easy but theres a famous book about how much of a pain in the ass it is (I think I haven’t read it).anecdotally it’s worse than working on my car because everything is packed in so tight
>>28881950Next time dont reply at all. In fact, turn off the computer and go outside for a while.
>>28881950>anecdotally it’s worse than working on my car because everything is packed in so tightJust buy better bikes
>>28881950masterful bait
>>28881950that book is about herd mentality vs craftsmanship the guy changing his oil on the side of the highway and adjusting his chain is anecdotal not a guide. god damn philistines.
Okay dbt, serious question can I get tips for changing my oil? I have two harleys having become a fat fuck dick sucking graybeard. I have a nice mc table jack and I've changed the oil in all manner of my cagers all my life but oddly never my motorcycles. I'm guessing put it on the table jack, run it a little to warm it up and everything else should follow but I figured I'd get tips and tricks. I'm a little crippled and getting on the ground is hard af these days and mainly I want to understand if using the table jack is a real benefit or if I should just do it on the kickstand.
I want to get into motorcycles but I live in an apartment in a big city. Where do you park the bike in such cases?
>>28881585>>28881594>>28881630I know. I sat in the station and filled out the report last night, but the cops here don't care and I live in a big city. The bike is gone. Insurance probably won't give me much since it's a 25 year old bike and their calculated ach is bound to be disconnected from reality.>>28881938I wish. >>28881950Pirsig is an idiot and that book isn't actually about motorcycles, it just uses them as an allegory to explain the Taoist enlightenment he claims to have had after experiencing a period of psychosis.
>>28881996in the apartmentor garageor paid spaceor storage areathis isn't hard anon a bike is easier than a vehicle, check with your apartment first then local pay to park garages nearby, research and understand street parking, evaluate area safety. you just have to do the fucking research for your area
>>28882002hope you dont' have state farm. regardless fight them, do research on what it actually takes to get a replacement bike of year make model and argue inconvenience as well. don't forget add ons like bags or bars. insurance companies are not your friend don't just take the first check. also yeah no way you're getting the bike back, even if they find it it's totalled.
>>28882005>this isn't hard anon a bike is easier than a vehicleAre you kidding me? I was paying 30€ a year for resident badge and was leaving my car at the street with no issues for many years. But for the motorcycle I have zero clue. Majority of underground parking lots are double-decked lifts which don't allow motorcycles. How am I supposed to get it into my apartment on the 4th floor?There are motorcycles parked at a house down the street, but maybe it's only the space for the residents of that house? Basically the only way is to leave them a note and ask about parking there.
>>28881986if you're crippled and old yeah get a jack and do it that way. it's pretty easy to just pop the drain plug and hold the bike straight in my opinion, but i am also a yung buck. i'm also just busting your balls. if i had a nice jack i'd use a nice jack but i don't want to cough up the money for a nice jack.
>>28881966pic unrelated?
>>28882018Other than buying a thousand bucks in chains, disc locks and d-locks I don't know.

>>28882002i handle car insurance claims for a major American carrier and can give you advice. name of the game is - - the guy actually handling your claim does not give a fuck how much you are paid, it is not his money- he only cares about being able to justify value of the bike to his QC process/audit/boss/whoeverif you can show him proof that your bike is worth more than they offer, they should meet it. Ideally you should have an idea for what it costs to replace your bike same model/year/condition/miles, you should have some links to these bikes for sale in your back pocket, and you should have a good reason why your bike is better than whatever bike you're showing him is for sale. >this one's $5500, but of course my bike (was a higher trim, was in better condition, had x y & z accessory)if they really try to fuck you, lowballing such that you can't replace the bike with what they paid, file a complaint with your state's insurance commission.

Remember ABYAlways Buy Yamaha
>>28882025Easier to maintain and more reliable than any nip bike ever made.
>>28881950This book is about anything but motorcycles. At first it seems like a book about traveling on a bike, then it ends like your average shizo thread. At some point he's wondering what is "quality", and he can't answer it, maybe because he was a certified shizo or maybe because he was riding a Honda and not Yamaha.
>>28882105If you're a tranny.
>>28881986>I want to understand if using the table jack is a real benefit or if I should just do it on the kickstand.If you have a table jack then use the table jack (duh) but don't use your kickstand because the bike must be level, not tilted. If you must use a bike stand then use the centre stand, not the kick stand.And always remember that changing gears is a distraction that could lead to death.
>>28882105Why would I buy yamaha, if I don't want a liter sportsbike?
>>28882119>changing gears is a distraction that could lead to death.this is why i picked a literbike. first is plenty.
>>28882002After reading your predicament I've decided to get a GPS tracking device (like Apple AirTag) so I can find my bike if it ever gets stolen because the police won't do shit and insurance won't pay shit so I'd find the stolen bike myself and stab the thief a few times with my large hunting knife.
>>28882105Rin has bigger assets, so I'm thinking zook. Also if you squint it's a zook because yellow.
>>28882122Kek, this is the right answer. >>28881950Wrenchlet spotted, opinion discarded. Come back with better bait loser
Holy shit anon was right! Changing gears really is a distraction that could lead to death.For example: >>28881754>going too fast on a rural road i didn't know with music playing, shifted to wrong gear so looked down at shifter and didn't see the really tight turn coming up ahead and was too afraid to yank the fuck out of the wheel and potentially spin out so understeered off road and hit a speed signGear heads get dead. Twist & go steals the show.
Putting new exhaust on the bike tomorrow. Very excited.
>>28882123An anon here got his bike back through an airtag his sister hid in the bike. I've been thinking about this too but I hate handing my location to Apple.
>>28882173i use google maps and waze for navigation so everyone who is looking at me already knows where i am. i simply don't care.but anyway tell me more about this sister.
>>28882151I know I died when I missed a shift. Twice.
>>28882178Tell me what it's like on the other side.
i picked up this 2015 WR250R. 7k miles. there was some cosmetic shit on it but it runs fine. i managed to talk the guy down 500$. it looks like the guy left it out in the elements. bike has water on it because i unloaded it in the rain last night, so it's just rain on the tank.it has this IMS gas tank and the surface is spiderwebbed. it's just on the surface but it looks pretty bad. maybe i'll try sanding it or something to see if i can knock the cracks out. standing around the bike it kind of smells like gas so i'm going to look around and see if any seals are messed up. there's no check valve in the vent tube.the real question is the subframe. the frame itself is aluminum so it's fine but the subframe is steel and has this surface rust all over it. a lot of the bolts all over the bike have rusted caps. what do i do about this rust (or do i do anything)?I was thinking i unbolt it from the bike, sand the rusty parts to bare metal, then prime + spray paint with a similar enough color.other than that, i'm changing the oil + filter, air filter, brake fluid + brake lines, coolant.everything else looks pretty ok.

>>28882420Very sexy. Thanx for making my new PC wallpaper.
>>28882421Spooky. O_o
>>28882422Youre welcome. I used Hot Mods GPT. The prompt:>"Transform this harbor scooter scene into a cinematic neo-urban night setting. Shift lighting to blue hour with deep cool tones. Add subtle teal and magenta neon reflections on the white scooter, including a soft cyan underglow beneath it. Enhance city skyline lights with warm glowing windows and atmospheric haze. Simulate slightly wet ground with soft reflections under the scooter. Add realistic water reflections from city lights.

>>28882094Thanks for the advice anon. I doubt I'd be able to wring all the money it would take to fully replace my bike, but I'll start building up some listings.>>28882123I heard airtags will alert people that they're being followed by one since apple doesn't want to be party to some guy stalking their ex. My friend has a gps tracker that wires into his battery and won't tattle on you, but he also pays like $100 a year for the service.
>>28882448Try this one. I added some background so the bike is more centered. I told it to format it in 1920x1080 but it didnt/cant idk.
>>28882456You're amazing. You've given me my new wallpaper(s) and I didn't even have to suck your dick or anything. I'm glad I didn't go to work today. Thank you so much, and may many women fellate you in your future (except Samantha because she's mine).

Have any of you tried any of those new D3O Ghost armor inserts or any of its clones yet?I just got a new RS Taichi hoodie that looks basically like a regular hoodie, but it's made of Cordura and has pocket slots for the armor. The free pads that came with it, despite being much thinner than average CE2 yellow pads, are still pretty thick and kind of annoying to wearto the point that I wouldn't want to have them on while going into the shopping mall.But then getting a full set of those reactive slim armor pads will cost more than the goddamn jacket itself.

Meaning all of META is compromised>Elon owns Twitter/x and attempted to attend the "wildest parties" at the island, meaning he'd do anything to appease the ghouls he worships Every single mainstream platform is corrupted and the radical views majority of people have was bestowed onto them as a way to prevent unifying against the epstien organization (which isn't bound to a flag or border, an indivdual entity that sells information to the highest bidder, extortion, black mail, human trafficking, sex slavery, and pdf chomo shit. If you're radicalized in any way, doesn't matter where on the Pol spectrum: those views aren't yours, they were planted by most likely a hired 3rd worlder to distort your reality testing.

>>28883089>Moot was apart of the epstien organizationOk, that I didn't know. Other than that everthing is old news. I used to think Elon was cool. Then Epstien files came out. I was so wrong. I also thought Trump will not start a war. Boy was I wrong on that.
>>28883088Good enough for Marc Marquez, good enough for me. Deploying when unzipping is totally stupid.
>>28883093Listen to me anon.It will always be better to admit you've been tricked than to double down in the delusion. You are an objectively better human if you reclaim humility and attempt to deprogram the malignant false assumptions that's been planted.Many never get this far. Yet you have arrived. I only hope more follow, but unfortunately given how much noise there is Distorting the objective truths.. I fear it may be too late..
>>288830764chan when down for like 20 minutes I think.
>>28883097I think this place and anons for deprogramming me.
>>28883099*thank
>>28883095I would go all-electronic for the track if I had an Astars employee touring with me with no other job than looking after the suite of airbags I'm using. Unfortunately, I am not a sponsored team rider nor Alpinestars "athlete" but a mere commuter and public road hooner. So it's a tether for me.>>28883089Sounds like schitzoposting, is unfortunately true.>>28883093JE and mootles were having dinners together and stuff like that. How much influence epst had won't be known until the rest of the files come out but moot did reactivate /pol/ the day after meeting with Epstein. So fuck you, moot.
>>28882659Are you the anon that posted your floor with the fresh coat when you finished it a few days ago? That looks nice. How slippery is it when there's water? I rented a place with a floor coated just like that once, and iirc traction was great, except on invisible water puddles.
>>28883099This very place, is where poison flows.We are all downstream of the river of disinformation, lies, and intentionally misleading half-truths all done to rewrite history and alter shallow perspectives. Qanon for example, intentionally done to make talking about the epstien organization comedic and unseriousAryan sentiment for example, intentionally done to assign a fictional mustache twirling dune koon in the middle of nowhere as a red herring to throw everyone off the scent in their own backyardIslamic apologia, as a way to normalize child brides. Weaponized nostalgia, to give people fantasies of a world that never exited as ideally as they assume to cope with the horrfying state of the world instead of unifying together to repair the damagesIt's ghouls versus humans now, not blue versus red. America (and honestly the rest of the 1st world) has some serious house keeping work needing to be done if we wish to strive for a better tomorrow. For everyone. Not just one group or class. The epstien organization wants petty differences and infinite infighting because it's far easier to control a divided world than it is a unified one. >You're not ____ enough >Oh you're ____ stfu >etcIt's all by design. It's all intentional.
>>28883101Epstien idealized moot, claiming he was a "bright young mind" within a few email chains. Their relationship is very much intertwined. Epstien alluded to Pol directly. It was one of his systematic weapons to monopolize opinions of information. Simply buy a few troll farms with bundles of thirdies and you can make people fall in love with their rapist just because there's 100,000 fake-people gas lighting you into the contrary. If you're locked in a room with 100 other people for 100 days and they all genuinely believe the sky is orange and shame you for thinking the sky is blue. You'll begin to question yourself and may even be broken into believing the sky is orange not blue. Despite your reality testing being good enough to know that the sky is actually blue.
>>28883110It's all so fucked up. Other countries are prosecuting their citizens when found in the files, we are protecting ours.
I miss when the conspiracy posting was ironic.I think the common 4chan redpill narrative is very wrong. Speculation without evidence is one thing, it turns to delusion when you start to believe the speculation and then you grow further delusions based on the premise of the original false belief spiralling into schizophrenia aka pol.Anyway! How bout them Ninja 400s, eh? Pretty spiffy!
>>28883122Well said, ninja 400! Wowiezowie!
>>28883088i think this is probably a rare occurrence because i havent seen anything similarfor me the types of crashes that can occur on the road warrant electronically firing airbagsfor instance, when my only low side i stayed with the bike the whole time. a friend of mine low sided on a trip we were on, and he stayed with the bike the whole time until the bike hit the curb, and then he hit the bike. had he had a tethered airbag (at the time this was pre airbag adoption) would it have gone off? would it have gone off for me? i dont know, but i worried about that scenario, so i chose electronic.if im struck from behind will a tethered airbag go off and support my neck and prevent me from getting whiplash? i dont know, but i know my electronic airbag did. so im happy with my choice
>>28882213If you want a real opinion buy one of the the pre 2009 carbureted Bonnevilles.I'm biased since I think the old Thruxton is the most beautiful bikes of all time, bar the Norton Commando, and I still find it more fun than the R1 I just bought for track use. If you have your heart set on it and it's been modded to not look tacky as shit then go for it. Post a pic of the marketplace post.
So I took my dad's v-rod muscle to a harley dealer near methey dont want buy my bike outright but rather have me trading it with other bikes that roughly around the same price so what are some harley that I might want, one that is around the same price range as a used v-rod?
>>28883212They're gonna give you a shitter bike because vrods will appreciate and the hoards of baggers will fall off a cliff once Creed is unpopular.They won't give you cash because they'll make more money off you trading and flipping the vrod.Food for thought. Don't care what you do, just know if you walk into a dealer expecting to come out on top then you're in for a rude awakening akin to a gambling addict learning that the house always wins.
>>28883230I mean i just went in for service mostly but I was just sitting down with the owner, i told him i might want to sell it if he want to take it off my hand, which he pitch me with the trade-inIf i were to sell it I rather swap to ADV or weeb bikes but just asking if there any harley that might be a good optionsalso why is used PanAM so cheap?
>>28883212Keep the V. The only other thing they make worth a damn is the Lowrider S and you won’t be trading into one of those.
>>28883233Harley is struggling to break into the marketThe bike is really good (ive been looking to buy one myself, loved it on test rides and at events) but stereotypical harley buyers dont want itthe buyer for a full sized ADV bike is an urban professional, for the most part, and these people are often unwilling to associate with the harley brand, which is declasse middle american. they stick with the ducati, bmw, etc without even evaluating the harley. I think Harley's only choice, at this point, though, is to stick it out. I really hope this bike and the revolution max engine in general stick around because they are really fantastic.
>>28883241feel like panam is literally a rerun of v-rod in term of marketing
>>28883182The tether's pretty short (as short as you want it to be, really.)
>>28883088i don't ride without an airbag anymoreive seen enough crashes and more importantly enough saves that im totally convincedat this point, just waiting for the first company to sell me a commuter suit with a built in airbag >>28883085Thanks nigel, very cute>>28883242i wouldnt know, i didnt start paying attention to harley until the pan am because i never liked cruisers. still havent ridden one that really enamored me... the pan am though i am in love with
So far its been a comfy day for riding
Rode down to the swampy wild life area. Bit too chilly for many animals to be out n about today
They're were doing some controlled burns
Now i stopped for a snacky snack and beverage
What do you think of bikes with more than 4 cylinders?
>>28883297A thing of their time rather like the turbo bikes.Neat to have better to ride.
>>28883297I could not imagine servicing and timing 6 carbs. Sounds like a nightmare
>>28883309The Kawasaki is three 2-barrel carbs.
>>28883309The Benelli Sei only had 3 carbs.Youd think at that point you could just slap like a single weber DCOE or DGV on it and feed all 6 cylinders.
>>28883319>>28883321My humble opinion is that 1 carb is too many carbs. You can call me a wrenchlet if you'd like I don't mind
>>28883326Uhh, how are you going to supply fuel then?>>>/N/
>>28883329The same way I put heroin into the veins between my toes
>>28883297my opinion is i would really like an unmolested cb550 and theres one a few blocks away from me but the old coot wont even consider selling it to me and every day i see it in his driveway unmoved and slightly more deteriorated, he hasn't ridden it in years, if it were uncovered it would be a pile of rust by nowi know its not a cb550 in your picture
>>28883273>>28883281>>28883290>>28883296paint the fairing blackorpaint the tank white
>>28883297Is that a real bike or am I looking at AI slop?
>>28883333you may not have that old coot's cb550 but at least you have impressive digits
>>28882720fully worth it tho imo ladthe country may be economically a shithole, socially a shithole, mentally a shithole, a literal drain on positivity and productivity but my fucking GOD do we have some of the best roads for biking (when theyre repaired) and you quite literally cannot beat a good summers day hereidc what euros or americoons say, we have some of the lowest lows, but by far the highest highs
>>28883335Why? I like how it is.
>>28883343well i don't, so you have to change it to meet my standards!
>>28883297Dangerously based.
>>28883343The fairing doesn't match the tank and looks like an add-on. If it was my bike I'd paint it black to match the tail. But you do you, my good man.
>>28883353NTA, but I like the white frontevery single one within 150 miles of me is black on black, so boring
>>28883345>>28883353Ok! Thank you
>>28883354All black is fucking lame boomer tier
>>28883357but the tank is red tho
>>28883355be brave and paint the fairing bright pink
>>28882002>Pirsig is an idiot and that book isn't actually about motorcycles,He is also nasty to his friends and his son at every opportunity. Consorted with foreign demon worshippers and went crazy.Phaedrus, Phaedrus, Phaedrus; blah, blah, blah.
>>28883342It must be great riding your bike on the one day of the year when it doesn't rain in the UK.
>>28883362I cant paint anything. I'm very poor :(
>>28883367that's a beautiful image tho. i just think the white fairing looks like it's unfinished. if the tank was also white then it would look ok but it looks like you've added or replaced the fairing after a crash or something. just my 2cents.maybe you could wear a white helmet to bring it all together.
>>28883369Man. Thats a lot to read.
990 Duke>Super cool, 10/10 would ride.990 RC R>Gay fag bike Piss twin.Okay.
>>28882811>How come >60% of the bikes I saw were a GS. It's insane how many there are out there.I kind of wish I had this problem. Florida is 80% Harley, 19.9% sport bikes, 0.1% other bikes. I see cubs for sale, so they exist in theory, but I think I'm the only person riding one regularly.
Luv me bike, simple as.Tomorrow I'm taking the 2 stroke to work, it was not happy about sitting idle for a couple of months, smokes like all hell.
>>28883075Pic related was reported around when the "maintenance" happened.
>>28883395Pure coincidence.
>>28883395Higher gas prices are a small price to pay for dead kikes

Hello from NJ
>>28883544Hi
>>28883297mo cylinders, mo betta.
Why do americans ride those pathetic mopeds and call them bikes? We have clowns cosplaying american riders in EU and it's the funniest shit you see whole day if you meet one. Luckily half of them get removed from the streets on their first police control because those mopeds can't be ridden appropriately for the 2026 standards.
>>28883052Thanks, ill stay now. Cute boxy foot girl btw.
>>28883610VROOM VROOM JERRY
>>28883610HYB
>>28883610>Luckily half of them get removed from the streets on their first police control because those mopeds can't be ridden appropriately for the 2026 standards.gotta be zooming around like a frantic retard with no money huh, no chance in fuck you just C R U I S E. gotta be first, cant be overtaken, huh you little fruitcake
>>28882920good morning shooms
>>28883212Why would you trade an Harley icon for a shitty new one? Just keep it or sell it IMO
>>28883212They definitely do not have your best interests in mind. No dealer ever will when it comes to trade-ins. Dealers are only slightly less scummy than pawn shops in this regard.
>>28883355Very lovely pan am. Don't ruin your bike by painting it stupid colours.
>>28883658I dont think i have any frens left here on deebeetees brosNo more shoomerwifeNo more shoomer life because od the pinbyk incidentIts looking like surgery time fellasIdk Is it time to retire from twisting my wrist?Or do i have to wait this season out and pray the pain away brosI cant really grip shit at all with my dominant hand still brosIt always looks like im holding teacups with my pinbky sticking out brosCursed thubms was enoughNot like thisNOT LIKE THISAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGOOD MORNING SIRS
It's really been three years now since I started riding, wtf
>>28883742>i have any frens left here onSenpai?
>>28883767I started in 1999. It's hard to accept that much time has gone by.
>>28883772I'm not that old yet but I'll be there eventually and it'll feel like a few months passed. When I have kids, I just know they're going to grow up way too fast.
I always keep big Bertha on the trickle charger but it still ended up needing a battery after two and half years.
>>28883769All ny ferns turned into anonymouse shitposters that trolololo me in the same sentence of guaranteed repliesMY OTHER BROS FOUND A TEXAN SHOOMERWIFEfuckIdk the whole being disabled for life- again, really weighing in on my perception of anime and egirls>>28883772I thibk most deebeetees werent even spermatozoas during that year

>Buy bottle of SS-8 for my viffer yesterday>Find an unopened one I bought at the end of the season today
>>28881966Getting a new 125cc today and it says to not ride at prolonged periods of time at more than 1/3rd throttle during the first 500km. What kind of wording is this? 1/3 throttle at first gets me to like 5k rpm. And how the fuck am I supposed to keep up with traffic, even as a non American, at 1/3d throttle?
>>28883853Didn't mean to quote lol
>>28883853You can either listen to them for a break in period or ring it out like an itallian stallionUp 2 u brosOr just commute eternally in high gewr for 500kms
>>28883863With my commute that'll be in 70 days... And then I graduate to being able to use 1/2 throttle for the remaining 500km of the break in period...
>>28881940>buy bike last spring>carboomerated instead of injected>afr unstable and frequently rich>put off rebuilding the carbs>ride it like that all last year>nice day tomorrow so good day for maintenance>notice intake boot not fully seated>fix it>afr problems fixedyou have to be fucking kidding me, I feel like an idiot
>>28883868Don't break in your bike by commuting, the heat cycling without extensive mileage is bad for break in, find yourself a good day where you can ride all day before actually using the bike for commute. What you do is ride at 0-33% throttle and rpm for 500km with occasional bursts up to 50%, after that do another 500km 0-50% throttle with bursts to 75%, change oil, warm up the bike properly, go 50% rpm in gear 1, then go full stallion 100% wot in gear 2 to redline then redline gear 3
>>28883913Step 1. Warm up bikeStep 2. Fuckin' give'r, wa.

>>28883212How much are you looking to get for the vrod?
>>28883989Bike women are way fucking hotter in full, form-fitting leathers.I'll never understand what gooner-zoomers have with dumb sluts in yoga pants and half a shirt on two wheels. It just screams the bike equivalent to pavement princesses.

>>28884059The thought of her crashing it and either not being able to be a whore anymore because she's covered in scars or just straight up fucking dying is what gives me an erection
>>28883707Thanks boo :*
>>28884082thanks anon, i wanted to make sure because ive an awful habit of fucking wrecking things with my stupidity
>>28884045Yo 10/10 post.
>>28884085You need god in your life.
Think I'll ride down to outer banks after I finish my coffee and breakfast Sammy. Maybe I'll take some cute selfies with a lighthouse
I've probably asked about bikes a dozen times over the past 5 years but I'm finally going to pick up a KLR650 for $2000 this weekend. It's insane how expensive these were just a couple years ago
>>28884111cause its shit and nobody want it anymorejust go buy transalp like good boy or tenere if you are a bad boyor 800de if you are a-
Unicycle mode
>>28884117I'm a bike virgin. I've never had a seat under my ballsack
>>28884117--Suzuki fan. I wish I could say the DE was the hipster choice, but it's not even that different next to those 2 bikes. Suzuki's marketing dept just doesn't give a shit about their motorcycles in NA/EU.
>>28884138i mean you really have to ask yourself if you are going to ride off-road at all (the answer is it doesnt matter, you can ride to starbucks in dirt bikes all you want)still if you are buying 2k KLR then its probably some clapped out older one (it probably still run fine cause these thing can run forever)but hope you are not a wrenchlet cause you probably will have to fix somethingat least I guess you arent buying chineseso you can at least sell it and swap to something else when you realized if that aint the bike
>>28884140I enjoyed my zukies
