Luv me Ural
>>28933746Don't be afaid to be new at something, I'd always recommend having a riding buddy when you're new to it in case you go down, lifting your bike can be a drag on your own, especially if they fall in a weird way, and it's also a bit of insurance if you hurt yourself too.
Post your summer motorcycle jackets with padding.
>>28934542I'm running this, breathes amazing, only drawback is you do feel the cold whenever the sun goes away.
rode out to Lancaster through the angeles forest highway, pretty fun ridethere was this old movie set called Club Ed, took some photos there before riding back to LA
>>28934542what kind of padding?
>>28934558>what kind of padding?They regulated differently, but for the back protector it would be EN 1621-2:2014 for example.
>>28934550>you do feel the cold whenever the sun goes away.I keep a cheap sweatshirt and neck gaiter in a saddlebag for long rides that end up in chilly late nights.
>>28934542The John Doe hoodie + the new tech air 5 is my go to.
>>28934542
I'm going to buy an auto motorcycle. I can't stand manual. I'm tired of having to think about gear changing and having to know what gear I'm in. I just want to ride and go fast. I wanted to get a BMW but their only auto is a damn dirt bike so I'll be going with Honda. I want a cruiser
Postan my new Baiku again. Derpy 90s japs are CUTE>>28934536Based
>>28934573k
>>28934573Anon I’m truly not trying to sound like a dick, but with anything you have any familiarity with there should be no active thought involved. Things become second nature to you if you have any level of proficiency at all.
>>28934573just take maxi pill
>>28934580Was just gonna type this, after 10,000 shifts it's just something you do like breathing.
>>28934587Exactly. Nice though it may be to go about your day with an internal monologue as a result of evolving abstract thought, humans are also natural tool users. It’s part of our genetic code to see our tools as extensions of ourselves, and there’s something wrong with you if you can’t after some time adapt to using a tool.
>>28934567How is the new tech air? Does it work by wire or it's sensor based?
>>28934587not necessarymy first car was a manual stick shift but once I went automatic I never want to go back to manualso I guess its really depend on what do you do with your bike I guessif you are using it as a daily commute in stop and go traffic then auto would be obviously betterbut if you are just weekend warrior who take bikes out for joy ride or even longer highway commute, or because you want to have FUNthen manual is fineI mean manual is still fine either way but yeah you know whats i mean
Beaches of Eriskay are nice!
>KTM dose pay to unlock.>Aprilia started doing pay to unlock on base models.>Ducati is toying with pay to unlock and subscriptions.>BMW is experimenting with subscriptions.
>>28934607This will be my first motorcycle when I get the license. Any specific issues you had with it?
>>28934610are you getting 800 or 1050?
>>28934609But yammie is only going to call out on CFmoto cause shitting on Chinese get him more views
>>28934610If its got a few miles, check the hydraulic clutch seals and the pushrod for signs of oil leakage, replace if in doubt, rear caliper can benefit from a rebuild if not done in a while. Levers can graunch, grease them. Other than that, enjoy!
Love me gel seat cover. Simple as.
How hard do you need to ride to actually need good tires? I'm not a beginner but damn I'm really trying hard to find a reason to not buy Shinko aside from longevity. I've used 712s, 777s, and 230s, and they just work. Do I need to be dragging pegs in the rain or some shit?
>>28934615Yammie is a slave to a algorithm.
>>28934620the only time it really matters is competition or weather related
>>28934613650>>28934616Thanks, took a screenshot for future. How is it in the city?
Anyone have experience with a Royal Enfield 650 piss twin?Passed by the dealer and they have a 2024 super meteor astral black (looks gray) with an upgraded seat, pannier, center stand all for around like $7.3k otd. Ie the touring pkg. Its comfy I might pass by again to test ride it.Also looking at a 21 sporster s used with 11k miles. JKH($4k exhaust), Harley heritage emblems+bar ends+ footpegs and a Corbin seat. Only problem is, it seems to have been dumped, there is scrapes on the bangbar and the rear swingarm (ugly side).Gonna head back to do a motor inspection on it, test ride etc. I found the maintenance through Harley, previous owner did all maintenance but dealer swapped and they sent it to auction.Not sure what to do, just want to ride, at the same time I find myself bench racing.
>>28934633Mine is the 1000, in the city, not so great. It wants to be on tight winding roads.
is new shape katana any good or is it peak fedora? I can’t decide
>>28934642of the people I have asked. It is peak, especially the matte blue version.
>>28934541That's a good idea yeah...tried giving a quick look in the meantime but seems i can't find a local group that is not a proper club with registration fees and everything, will need to try ask in other more generic groups and hopefully find someone who knows someone who rides DS or enduro nearby.>>28934542Dainese hekla without the internal layer and all open is quite aerated, i noticed you mentioning a back protector and to be honest i prefer riding with one of those bigger suspender style ones, the pocket for the back protector in that jackat is way too small and high up. also have a cheap dainese elettrica air tex and that is a proper summer jacket but very basicAlso here is a sick wheelie
>>28934642pretty cool but no one in the US bought them so we stopped getting them after only a couple of years
>>28934648this?
>>28934654had the biggest crush on this bike but same story, barely any of em come up for sale anymore, almost came close to buying one once but it got sold mad quick. Still regretting
>>28934642I think it looks good, it's very cyberpunk but not too much. there was an anon here that had one before it got stolen or something, also silver it's it's best color
>>28934642it's fat and ugly black plastic
>>28934655It was a little darker, and flatter with orange/gold wheels.But nobody bought them in the states and they've become collectors items.All the dealers I asked told me they haven't seen one since they got discontinued.
>>28934557The angry mail man is back.
Honda posting
>>28934620I have a 22 year old Shinko and it's not bad at all, better than a budget Pirelli
>>28934682I enjoy pretending to be a mysterious man on mission in the desert
>>28934609>Aprilia started doing pay to unlock on base models.The base models don't have the hardware, you have to buy both the hardware and the software. It's not like they are installing the hardware and disabling it.It is strange though given that the new Tuonos don't come factory with cruise control, even my base Tuono 660 has cruise control.
>>28934688Good cosplay. Which rebel is that
>>28934702thank youit's a rebel 500 se
>>28934607Cute strom
>>28934637Jeet shit, stay away
>>28934707HYB
>>28934716I did think about getting into cigars at one point but I quickly decided it wasn't worth italso my favorite sword is the zweihander
>>28934685Hoonda!

Why cruisers look so cringe?
>>28934685Old CB600 was so much fun. The modern CB750 with 2 cyl is pathetic
Planning my trip from Berlin to see pyramids while avoiding the dangerous places. How is the route?
Absolutely terrible how the last 15 miles back into the city shifts on you during a Sunday afternoon, both as afternoon traffic picks up, and the realization that Sunday evening is just another weeknight.
>>28934734>bikes in different classes feel differentok?
>>28934607nice boike. Why no bags on the crash bars?
I just love bikes bros
>>28934695Starting 2026 Aprilia is locking performance modes behind a paywall. This is basically them putting their foot in the door and seeing how their fans react. Pic related.Investors want pay walls and subscriptions really really bad.
>>28934542no padding because i'm fat (fat is padding).
>>28934542the bilt blaze 3 jacket, I hate the way it looks but the pockets are convenient. Was my first piece of riding gear after my helmet
>>28934767Are you retarded? Your precious AI overview stated exactly what I said. The base models do not have the hardware (MIA module and GPS sensor) for the packs. This is not a KTM situation where they come from the factory with the hardware and it is disabled until you pay.
>>28934605Task saturation is a engineering myth. >stop in traffic when riding a motorcycleThe secret ingredient to work around this is crime and even if you're a space cadet you can interpret stop and go traffic as slow speed training rather than torture. >>28934766>Smithers why is his enthusiasm not punished!?
>>28934772And then you have to also pay for the software in a fucking phone app. The Suspension pack is only available on the Factory for an additional fee too. Yes some of them "requires connection to Aprilia MIA accessory". Whatever that is.
>>28934740>cross the Germany-Poland border>bike gets stolen
The only thing I don't like about this bike are the fugly control group it has, the knob looks like it came off a 90's toaster/microwave.
gonna sound like a wrenchlet, but curious if I fucked up>MT-09>half a tank of gas left>I usually put 91 in it>but I was cheap today so I filled it up with 89 octane, not thinking it matters since it's just a japanese bike>apparently my bike specifies 91 octaneI don't think it'll matter that much, but is there any danger? not worried about reduced performance (if that's the only downside), but obviously don't want to damage anything
>>28934780are you the anon that wants *another* honda?>>28934770no way you deliver with that shit in the summer bro, one flight of stairs and I'd be steaming (choo chooo)
>>28934787How is a one time payment in a phone any different than buying the option from a dealer? The corner by corner suspension function is only available on the Factory because it has a completely different suspension than the base. The Aprilia system is no different than if they were just offered up front as options, not like KTM where every single KTM made has the physical hardware and you have to pay to unlock it.
>>28934804It will if you'are in the states since may 1st they have e15 on anything that isn't premium.Go to the auto store get a bottle of octane booster and a bottle of water remover (heet or valvoline).Put a little bit of both.Water remover takes off ethanol residue and octane booster helps shit gas.A little, like 1/10th of a standard sized bottle.
Shoomer br/o/sIts overI caved I became a /n/obike againI pedals the mileage bigly today, still currently out and about ridingGuess this is RIP Shoomers 2026™
>>28934720Based zweihandler enjoyer and user>>28934740>tehranNice bait
>>28934806I'm pretty content with my stable so I do not think so. Although I'd be lying to say I don't want a black birb
>>28934795My theory of why they have that control set up is that it prevents kill switch slapping from thieves.>>28934688New vegas had the best way of throwing you into the world.>Have no family or ties>Get shot in the head>Go on a rampage figure out why>Get a harem>Depending on choices become king of desert because you hate taxes
>all 3 of my bikes have been Yamahas>want a 4th bike but don't know if I want to ruin my Yamaha streakwhat say you? is being a one-brand brother worthwhile or should I explore other brands? maybe a Suzuki?
>>28934849Just buy what you like anon, it's what I did.
>>28934849Shame for a man to die without having experienced the japanese big 4 imobranch out they are all great
Is an Africa Twin good for long trips?
>>28934857Just because you end up owning one brand doesn't mean you've never experienced/had the others, no need to be a diva.
>cant even be a succeasful /n/obikeEverytiemIm gonna go OD on timemachine pills here, fuck sakes

>>28934595Sensor. it's nice. Way more breathable than the previous. Like wearing a tight but stretchy t shirt. Id forget I'm wearing it if it weren't for the hard back.The fact that they made the canisters user replaceable was the selling point for me, else I was gonna get the helite one. If you can afford it I'd say get it.
>>28934877Urine an idiot
will swapping out the pads in my helmet make it tighter?
>>28934897yes if they are bigger pads
>Spent the last 4 hours trying to get a bolt that got sheared off by the previous owner, out>Have nothing but $150 of power tools and drill bits to show for it Man I just want to replace it to be able to work on the tire/chain since all I have is a rear stand
>>28934902what if they are smaller pads?????

Walking home, already being moggedI really wished my chain didnt broked fug
>>28934894>Baseless insultOk anon, Goodluck on your pursuits.
>>28934911From an average riders perspective it matters absolutely zero percent what bike you're on.
>>28934807Man, some people really do have a hate boner for KTM.
Do you meet the nicest people on a Grom?
Why do women seem to like sport bikes? Cruisers are so much cooler.
>>28934990I mean KTM does do that. The hardware for options will be installed on bikes and you have to pay to unlock it.
>>28934990Implying it's not justified
>>28935018>Why do women seem to like sport bikes? Cruisers are so much cooler.
>>28934990poostained bajaj factory worker hands typed this
>>28935025old men are right about most things
I have ridden less than a thousand miles this year. I parked wrong and had to walk the bike backwards uphill yesterday. I am going to ride every day until September.>mfw looking in the mirror
>>28935018they like whatever they get told to like by the media they consoom
>>28935025>yes
>>28935053panheads (the engine) look so stupid
>>28934688>>28934704>>28934716Is Honda rebel a good bike???
>>28934637>>28934648This thing looks wicked. I'd like to see it with all the plastic shit ripped off.
>>28934580It's the gear schizo that's been shitting up the board. Just ignore it.
>>28935071cant go wrong with honda. the 1100 is comparable to an evo sportster 1200 with stage 1 but with japanese bike characteristics and 40 lbs lighter
could getting an itansha wrap count as a high viz safety feature?
>>28935088>ninja 300>wants a wraplike clockwork
>>28935091erm ackshually this one is a 650
>>28935093not helping your case
>>28935097idc, i like it. also anime website.
>>28935088which girl anon?
>>28935018Because most sport bike riders are fit and the riding position makes you look like a monkey fucking a football which gives suggestive imagery to the mirin' women Whereas crusiers are associated with a bygone era and old people / "muh toxic masculinity" the riding position is also leaned back so they're not very suggestive to the booktok imagination. Only a certain type of women are into crusiers (the ones who know they rumble better than a Hitachi)
>>28935088Be more of a driver distraction. Seeing big anime cow titties on the freeway would cause massive car pile ups and thousands dead...So yeah good safety feature, less drivers on the road everyday.
>>28935074What's that tube connected to?
>>28934637Rev Max is a pretty fun engine
>>28935105most likely a vocaloid, like kagamine rin (not her pjsk design like picrel tho) or kaai yuki (>>28935103), none of that mikuteto larper business>>28935113who said they would have big tits? but still based, fuck cagers
>>28934907Is that a drill bit broken in the screw that is stuck?maybe its time to think about drilling a larger hole to and tap for a larger thread bolt?
>>28935135based, do it
