I'm in love with this big ass trunk. Full faced helmet and arnored leather jacket storage. I'm never taking it off.
>>28963671Still haven't painted the white on your jacket I see.I got a new jacket on the weekend and swapped out the armour in it from my other jackets which is to small on me.

>>28963674I never intended to do white, though lately I've been thinking about doing Harlock's pirate flag in white on it.

A cool guy on a vfr 800 pulled up to a biker hangout today. From afar I thought it was a ducati. Mad lad straight piped his V4. It was the best sounding motorcycle ive heard in a longggggg time. fuck my life, now I want a VFR
>>28963695Arr See Fiddy Juan>>28963708Another becomes enlightened. What generation? Gear Driven cams or nah
>>28963710Thats a wicked cool bike.
>>28963712Thanks, it's a keeper.
>>28963712cool post
>>28963710it was a 2014, white, had a cool “interceptor” decal on the fairing. the single-sided swing arm was a sight to behold. Felt like Honda is more italian than italians themselves with that bike
>>28963183Jawas are pretty fine, they have some quirks to them, but generally they're fairly reliable machines. I don't remember if Jawas had the inner crankcase cheeks with a separate flywheel like Izh Jupiters did, those at least on Jupiters tend to be common leak points into the flywheel chamber which will eventually cause issues, replacing the inner gaskets is a complete engine teardown, which isn't that bad if it wasn't for the transmission that you have to take apart too, those can be a bit finicky to get aligned properly.The original Soviet workshop manual for aligning and assembling the transmission properly pretty much boils down to "just be yourself and throw it in there, it'll align itself", surprisingly that worked for me, just don't even try or think about it, chuck the sjafts in and close rhe case, it'll just go into place like intended. Fiddle around with it and you'll always be off by a tooth or so.I'd recommend ditching the factory points ignition and dynamo for a powerdynamo/VapeEU unit. They're like 500 bucks, but well worth the money.

Any spooky stories from bike camping?
I think I'll get a new bike once I become young and healthy.Vibrations fucked my hands up so much even a gentle i4 buzz triggers discomfort now.And most seats make me feel discomfort in right inner thigh.Sucks to get old.
>>28963762>What are gel grips for 500
>>28963762I used to get sore after just a couple of hundred kilometres when I was younger, now that I got older I had a moto guzzi that was supposed to be comfortable for road cruising and for some reason my tailbone started aching with it and I lost all feeling in my buttocks after riding for a while.600km on my Ural meanwhile is like nothing, no aching joints or sore ass, nothing.
>>28963685Do a stencil and an easy to wash off water colour and see how it looks.
>>28963759Not camping, but riding on the Blue Ridge Parkway. I had been at the Tale of the Dragon, then decided to ride the length of the BRP north. There was a hurricane pushing rain north, and I was trying to stay ahead of it. The Parkway was mostly deserted, and the longer I rode the nore the weather was catching me. I was tired, lost in my thoughts, it was getting darker with the clouds, and a light rain was starting to come down. I pulled off the road at a trail head. Partly to check the weather radar, partly to get the blood in my ass moving again, and partly to rest. I pulled my bike under the trail head marker to get out of the direct rain. I'm sitting there up in the mountains, under the trees, temperature dropping, dusk lurking, listening to the rain pattering through the trees. I was pretty exhausted, and my mind was just kind of empty.Then, softly, faintly, I thought I heard a gospel choir singing eerie hymns from down the trail. It was both plain as day but also just beyond actually making out. I am not a superstitious or even religious person but it was starting to spook me. I got on my bike and started the engine and instantly felt better as I rode away from the trailhead.Pic related.SpoOoOoOoky...
>>28963799Yeah, fuck it. I'm doing it next week. Big one on back, or small one on chest?
>>28963685>>28963799Stencils work super well.I spray painted my helmet. You can modify how soft/hard you want the lines based on how secure you attach the stencil.

I rode my bike today, the weather is nice.
let's try making this a good thread. here is the girls eating
Might have to do swingarm bearings this weekend.Waiting on the Ohlins rep to let me know if they can supply the top eye bearing for my damper while I'm at it since there's play there too.
if i run into any problems with the chain and rear sprocket after wasting my time on the front and tearing the gasket im gonna send my yamaha over a cliff and into the reservoir
>>28963940Why would you have problems with the chain?
>>28963945that shouldnt , but if the lock washers or aftermarket sprocket give me shit ill be pissed
I still cant decide if I want to buy a used crf1000 with DCT or brand new transalp e-clutch
>>28963989why not T7
>>28963989>e-clutchWhy is this touted as a world changing feature?
>>28963993cause while I dont go out to look for mud and trailswhere I live mud generally come to you during monsoon season but my main use is to commute long distant and funny enough used T7 cost about the same as used africa twin here
>>28963989If the price is mostly the samepersonally I would get the Africa Twin.because even if you end up giving up on commuting every day on two wheels and become a cagerYoud still have a cool flagship bike parked in your garage that you can take out every now and then
>>28963989ive ridden hondas dct on several bikes and i think it genuinely robs too much enjoyment
>>28963879me too fren me too
>>28963879I'm in between bikes

guys, strange issue on my KLR. When I push it backwards with the wheel turned (either side), I get a rubbing/binding feeling, it even clicks rhythmically like clack clack clack. Rolling forward or with the wheel straight, nothing. Any idea?
>>28963989DCT apparently sucks for low speed stuff, where you would otherwise be feathering the clutch. Not so good if you're actually going to be taking it off road or crawling through traffic in town.>>28963998It's not, but it is pretty cool
>>28963910Cool post.
>>28963989Non dct AT or eclutch Transalp. But I don't like the tube tyres.
>>28964040sounds like something plastic is hanging onto something that moves going forward it rides smoothly going backwards it catches, snaps out of the way, catches, snaps out of the way etc making a repeating noisei'd look for something hanging near the wheels and sprokets and chain. going straight might fix the issue because when you turn the wheels you lean slightly, letting whatever it is contact whatever is movingthat would be my first thought
I don’t like riding any bike that is not in upright position.
I want to sell my dirt bike and the Ducati and get a dual sport. Suggestions, bros. I saw a cb500x with dual sport tires and a cage the other day. Looked very capable at doing that. Is the cb500x actually a true dual sport?
>>28964087Turbo busa with knobbies
>>28964087The fuck? You are not a beginner anon, get a fucking T7. Other options would be DR650, DRZ400, KLR650, Himi or something like that CB500x is a fucking street bike. I would also suggest the new F450GS. Also, consider the KTM and Huskies if you are into them.
>>28964034>'ku

>>28964120That the Adam Reimann AT? That baiku looks so awesome.
I can't belive shoomer is leaving us
>>28963998It is touted as non-world-changing QoL improvement ackshually.I rode a bike with e-clutch a few times. It is nice, you can roll to a stop and launch from a stoplight without touching the clutch, which is convenient.It acts as a good quickshifter most of the time.I still grab the clutch occasionally out of habit, and it behaves exactly like a normal bike.I'm somewhat disappointed though, if you shift carelessly it doesn't fix your mistakes, shifts can be rough at times. Ultra-slow-speed also sucks (just a bit), feathering the clutch feels more smooth.Hypermotard 698 quickshifter > e-clutch > every other quickshifter.

I have a week to figure out a destiny brosAny suggestions?Preferrably a country that has cheap hand surgery timelines before i officially enter nobike status, again>yes my hand is fugged stillAnd canadian healthcare with all its wondrous diversity is achieving so many monumental things: take MAID outside of timmies for exampleNo idea when ill get my MAID referral. Probably before a hand surgeon opens up for a consultation- budget cuts y'know?

Anon im sweating like a pig in my helmet. Is there an integral helmet that is known for staying fresh and airy all the time?
>>28964264>No idea when ill get my MAID referralThe fuck is wrong with your stupid commie hole? I've never seen a country this fucked up. If you are even thinking of MAID, you will get all the /dbt/ curses. I wish you well though.
>>28964290Yes, just get a MX Helmet.
>>28964223Post disassembled carb.
>>28964290Balaclava dunked in ice water or just ride faster 5head
>>28964283Senpai if you are serious, I'd reccomend India, come here only if you want to go to the best Hospital. There are a few, but "Apollo" in Metro cities is some of the best India has to offer. Price according to gemini is $1000 to $2500 for the surgery. You'll need physiotherapy, stay, travel, food etc. So budget double that (5k USD?). All your docs will speak English so you should be fine. Unless you are one of those stupid frog Canadians. For stay and travel, just use the online apps, don't speak to people. I don't want you to get ripped off.Do some research, see if this is an option for you. If you are serious, let me know, I'll try to help however I can.
Would you say it’s a dumb idea to get a 250 2s or 450 4s dirt bike if I want something with plenty of torque but also just wanna slow it down and take it easy but also would like to jump some hills?I feel like the bike I want doesn’t exist in a singular bike..

fellas i just reminded that i basically now own at least 2 full sets of gear since i have the ADVENTURE helmet now. hipotetically speaking it means i can safely carry a pillion (female) if the event ever occurs...how do you ride with a passenger? I heard there are two "ways" you either make them follow your torso so they lean with you and you just lean less or you tell them to stay straight up and handle it like a heavier 'ku.i remember last year i saw two girls on a 125cc sumo in the city center, so it really shouldn't be a big deal to just carry someone else if you know how to ride, right?
>>28963762>I'll get a new bike once I become young and healthy>Vibrations fucked my hands up>seats make me feel discomfort>Sucks to get old.Nigga, I'm in my 50s and ride for around ten hours a day delivering parcels and the only (slight) discomfort that I feel is on my thumb knuckle that rubs against the grip stop when I twist the throttle. A callous has formed, like in the pic (not my hand), but I tolerate the discomfort because I'm not a little bitch. So stop being a bitch boy and ride your fucking motorcycle. If it hurts then either:A) Suck it up, princessB) Get a better bike (ie. maxiscoot)
>>28964494Doesn’t really matter much, you aren’t going to hit twisties with a second rider bc it throws the balance of the bike off. Very doable but not funwomen & motorcycles dont rly mix well unless its a punk girl on a dirt bike
>>28963910why are those japanese girls eating american burgers?
>>28964494>tell them to stay straight upThis way works best for me because my passenger sits much higher than me so we can't lean together in unison.
>>28964494>leaning with a passengerI'd be more inclined to counter-lean when I'm carrying a passenger because I won't be taking turns at +100 km/h.
Now that ive been pondering the pajeet timeline, do you guys think if Shoomers travelled to india for hand surgeries that i could also reenact the man that would be king ultimate freemasonry boogaloo, but becomming the king of pajeetahstan?Idk seems like a bad idea, but what else is there to do in india other than be eated by the wildlife there- or die from traffic accident or a hard job like trains?I guess once recovered it would be a good staging ground for the benis to vagene meme tour, lretty sure those cities are in iran and turkey, but irans getting shitted onDo i instead opt for the Shoomers becomes the tibetan monk timeline- and i rob wayne enterprises while searching for razahlghul insids his ninjago fortress somewhere innahimalayas?So many questionsSo few answersLadyboyland on the other hand, at least the foids will be tolerable, because theyre actually dudes, so you can mansplain things and they will understoodBut otherwise, what else is there to ponder about?Otherwise i think my crfs front tire is too fucked for a long road trip, might do an oil change rn while im contemplating medical interventionism: patients without borders and the MAID rebel allianceOverall though, i think im less likely to die in thailand, but maybe thats less opportunity to becone king of pajeetastanHow many shoomerwifes per capita and also royal bloodline geneseeds exist in eithsr countries?

Also incidentally like every one of these rearsets that has ever hit the ground on the right has the brake lever bent at the back by the master attachment point because the adjuster plate gets shrekked and the entire thing bends in rather than the peg breaking.

>>28965052There was an on-ramp, I just didn't use it because panicking and braking made me run wide so I ended up in the right hand lane.
>>28965045Hope you're still going strong.
>>28965054Whoa, GSAnon!! Good to see you brother
>>28965056Aye, don't ride as much as I used to as a uni student but I still do
>>28965053>2004 hornet 600f that hasnt ran since 2020 >cleaning out the carb should be all i need to do.Uh, maybe, but probably not. If the solution to fixing a non-running bike is simple, a seller will normally do it to make the most money. Rarely are there ever good deals on bikes that just need the tiniest bit of TLC. Probably something much worse is wrong with it. I don't know if €700 is an average or even good price in your cunt, but my recommendation to anyone getting a first bike is always to make sure it's something that RUNS and you can RIDE away.
Oh no. I'm posting during Euro hours!>>28965055I #neverforgetNothing is more dangerous than riding tired. br/o/ther.>>28965057HELL YEAH!!!
>>28965057>I still doThat's all I wanted to hear. Any amount after something like that is good.
>>28965063ngl I was apprehensive about on-ramps for a few weeks after that. But I was already shopping for a new bike while still at the hospital, I had a SEM (the very first one) to attend to after all!!>>28965062TrueOne reason I don't ride as much anymore is that I avoid going out tired. And I've become paranoid about deer and boar running into the road after dusk, it's a common occurrence here
>>28965069P A C K M U L EThere's a guy on facebook called "AdventurePotential" if you look him up he's put his GS500 through hell and back.I wonder if /dbt/ ever had an ER5 rider.We need the trifecta.Honda RedactedSuzukiKawasaki
>>28965092>I wonder if /dbt/ ever had an ER5 rider.RIP SEF
>>28965093Godbless
>>28965093how do you let go of the handlebars without crashing?
>>289651101. Have a functioning sense of balance
>>28965110...have you ever ridden a bicycle?Rake, caster, you ever notice how bike basically ride themselves so long as they're going in a straight line?
Are my pads gone?I have 3600 miles on them right now.
>>28965158are they crooked? looks like the slide pins need grease
>>28965110Jinba ittai 人馬一体When you reach that stage with your bike it basically rides itself.
>>28965062>Nothing is more dangerous than riding tiredriding in a ghetto, wetbacks will wait until you pass to swing their doors wide open without warning
>>28965110You can’t, that anon died.
why buy 2 years old used transalp when you can 26 years old 2000 RD07 for the same price?
>>28965210i wish we had these still being made instead of all the ADVboomerslop. the modern africa twins arent even close to the same
Dont know what to get next. Feels like ive tried it all. Previous bikes>dr125>hornet 600>xt660x>mt01>crf300l>fireblade>naked busaAt this moment i dont have license because police took it. Maybe something really slow that wont get me in trouble again like that new monkey?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--lGOPT0kZMI don't understand why he bitches about Pulse, it is nicer of the two.If the battery charged in 5 minutes and the cost was 5k lower ICE bikes would be obsolete.
>>28965217>At this moment i dont have license because police took it.A push bike

How hard is making my own brake lines going to be?
>>28965232Why do you want to make them?
>>28965236Old italian scooter I'm working on needed new levers but oem ones are not findable so I got some amazon ones but the outlet is in a different spot and the banjo fitting won't line up.
>>28965181Idk what you mean by crooked. But yeah I should probably grease this. My bike needs to get cleaned.
>>28965217Honda magna
>>28965232define make your own brake lineare you molding a rubber line from fresh rubbers?are you stitching the braid fiber or 3d print it yourself? I still think its better to just buy pre made brake lines
>>28965232its not hard you just need the right tools. same with cables, dont fuck around with cheap shit if you know whats good for you, or have them custom made.
>>28965238Coremoto my man. Extremely customizable
Any of you lives in a rainy country and ride the whole year? How is it like?I want to buy a bike but I'm hesitating on the model since I also hesitate if I'll be riding it the whole year or not. I'm from Belgium and we pretty much spend half the year under the rain and two of these are snowy as fuck.So I was wondering if I should go for a roadster or a touring bike (I also would like to make long trips with it).Any recommendations for a model of bike that's solid for these AND look good? My main problem is that I love roadster/naked bikes looks and don't enjoy gran tourer's ones.
>>28965297Touring bikes are phenomenal for long trips but a little less fun in town. I think you need a croozer that you can load up. pic rel is my 2002 VTX1800 but you might like a street glide.
>>28965309She looks good naked too. Damn i should take the windshield and speakers off
>>28965297the only bikes i can think of that will be practical in shitty year round weather are dual sport types and sidecars. and for winter you will need studs in your tires. i dont know which but some bikes you can install the side skirts and large windshield like on the super cubs to block most of the splash and road grime from blasting your legs and body.
Is this a good idle?
>Gave my first motorcycle wave while getting groceries yesterdayI've finally made it, anon. Even though I'm at the top, I won't forget you all
>>28964264come to portugal my friend, you can recover that hand while eating tasty pastry with the other hand in the beach
>>28965297kinda miserablebut in my shithole people here do it anyway cause good chunk of people here cant afford cars light rain make road slippery and heavy rain randomly turn road turn into mud river and then MX track after it dry generally you probably want off road capable ridessince you cant see pot hole during rain so you want long suspension bike so you can fall into it without breaking your fork but of course if you are a first worlder with good road then it doesnt matter i guess
>>28965373It feels good
>>28965398>first worlder with good roadSadly, just having a solid GDP doesn't mean shit in the face of a fuckup county works department head.
