>>29021890Why's it like that?
>>29021889>New thread! Post your baiku!you made fun of me and my bike last time >:(
Anyone use a Shad 3P system? Is it good? Any other companies that are similar? I want to add cases to my bike now maybe even just 1 on one side.
>>29021890My summer bike anon how is the diesel ural coming along?Also, what engine are you using for it?
heck yeah bwother
>>29021898I would never!
>>29021894Got rid of the bench seat for an Izh 56 elephant ear saddle.Need to attach the rear ludguard somehow, but the mudguard is really interesting in these things.It's bolted straight to the rear seat and the rear seat is held on the frame by two solid hooks and a latch you can open with a "hidden button".Neither the mudguard or the seat are solid mounted to the bike.
>>29021901Comikg and going.It's a Kubota D722
>>29021912Ok got it, thanks finnish Ural anon.
>>29021930Praise the Omnissiah!That engine will outlive humanity!You have my full blessing and I hope to see it one day run.
>>29021902Cute harley cub
>>29021930Why your bike so weak? That is a fucking scooter bro
I don't ride, so I'm asking you all. If I really fucked up, let me have it and I'll do better in the future. So I was just mowing and it's been a while because of daily thunderstorms. Most of my yard is a flood plain too so that causes problems with mowing after heavy rains. That's my problem of course. But the grass was pretty tall and even with the deck at the highest it stalled out several times. So I didn't do my usual practice of blowing in away from the road for my first few passes. There was clear pavement, I didn't cover the lane with clippings. I also always stop when any traffic is passing to avoid kicking a stone or anything into the road. Anyway, a biker came past and definitely cussed me out. I couldn't hear what he actually said, but it was obvious he was very angry. He was riding in shorts, a Tshirt, tennis shoes, and no helmet. So he clearly isn't big on safety to begin with. But that doesn't excuse me if I created a serious hazard.

>>29021939Look, I'm working on getting a Harley soon because moto guzzi sucked shit, meanwhile you'll have to make do with scooters
>>29021902nice Honda, brother.
should I buy F800GSA?
I tried asking in the last thread but I'm 6'1 buying my first bike. I found a hornet 500 with a good price but I'm worried it would be too small for me. Should I spend a bit more and get the NX500 or a v-strom 650xt instead? Tall anons, have you ever had a hornet 500?
>>29022025Any of those are brilliant first bikes. I'm 5'11" and I was perfectly fine on G310R. Just go sit on the bikes, you should get better idea. Add Himi to the list.
>>29021902You cub fags are way too rich.
>>29021991Absolutely. I love my F850GSA. You are going to love that bike.
>>29021898Unless it's an ebike, I want to see your cute baiku. If its ebike, I'm just going to be indifferent. No making fun ofc.
I've got an idea for Chinks. Make a bike with that 374 hp, 40.5 kg Xiaomi electric motor.
>>29021966You are abandoning your urals for harley? How did you give into peer pressure? Is this even the real fingolian? What happened. I should've pressured you to get a GS.
>>29022034With a range of 50km? What would even be the point? It will be like a Goldwing but heavier but no practical use.
>>29022036>What would even be the point?Drag racing and possible speed record
>>29022040>Drag racing and possible speed recordHow boring
>>29022035Abandoning? The Harley is going to sit next, but beneath the Ural in my bike parking.
>>29021966>Harley HELL YEAH BROTHER
>>29022075Get a GS anon. I know you want to.
>>29021888Hitler digits >>29021881i have the same luggage, how do you like the rack? i often strap stuff to the top of mine but I haven't gotten the rack because im worried about it leaking. >>29021966hell yeah brother
>>29022098Suzuki or BMW?Doesn't matter actually as I don't like either
>>29022108You are not fooling anyone, I know you want both. A Suzuki and a BMW.
>>29022109I've already had a Suzuki and BMW.I had a Suzuki Bandit 1200 2 decades ago
>>29022110What BMW?
>>29022110Also surprising that you are so old, by your stupid posts I thought you were like 25 or 30 years old.
>>29021957don't worry about it
>>29022127I had an R1100R for a very short while, I wanted a K1 originally because it looked so fucking stupid, but it was an absolute chore to ride.I didn't like the R either because it just kinda was there, wasn't engaging to ride at all.>>29022129With age comes wisdom, but sometimes age comes alone. Thankfully I don't have to come alone.
>advertise with a norwood mulletsincerely, hell yeah brother
>>29022144We call that a Skullet round here brother
>>29022146im listening, and learning
>>29022151HELL YEAH BROTHER
>>29022144What kind of people are they? He looks like a poor with that haircut. But you have to be super rich dentist or something to own Harleys. Are they playing dressup? I've not seen dentists with skullets.
>>29022174You can be not rich and own a harley. Like me!
>>29022133I'm going to have to call you senpai from now on.
>>29022179You are the panam kun aren't you? I'm sure you are pretty rich. You are just pretending to be poor.

I finally got my bike running again. I was going to sync the carbs today also but turns out you need a really long screwdriver to reach the adjustment screws so I had to go buy one.
New gloves. Full grain leather. Home Depot edition. $14. Man I am so cool.

Posting wrench-adjacent pictures for the thread wrenchers.
>>29022297It's from my IMZ Ural. Or rather it was supposed to be a new camshaft for my Ural, but the new one is 22.0mm while the old one was 22.1mm.Timing gear is a press fit, it just slides in and out on the new cam, it's junk.

>>29022287scooter troons BTFO
>>29022174the nightster is 10k, the cheapest softtail is 15k, the sportster S is 16k, the deadwood is 18k. It's true that the big touring bikes push 35k very quickly, but Harleys writ large are not extremely expensive. They're more expensive than the low end Japanese, Indian, and Chinese made bikes, but they're solidly middle priced these days across most of the range. Hondas (Rebel 1100 is 10k, Africa twin 15k, Gold Wing 30k), Kawasakis (ZX-6R 12k, Versys 1100 20k, Ninja H2 35k), Suzukis, Yamahas, Triumphs, KTMs, BMWs, excuse me for not providing examples for each one, all of their mid range and above models run similar prices. >>29022288I feel exactly the same way, I've taken the big faired touring bikes on test rides and it's just not for me. I felt the same way about the previous Goldwing, before they made it significantly more narrow.

Once again asking if anyone uses a shad 3p system or sh36 cases or anything and how they like or dislike them.

>>29022330i use a grocery bag i attached to my frame with a camping strap
>>29022174>dentistsdentists ride SirVelos and Tr*k not real bikesharley owners are invariably ezmodo blue collars like painters and drywall tapers and shit who bought that shit on straight debt
>>29022330they are supposedly more aerodynamic than square boxes I would not go out of my way to buy one cause these brand name "OEM" boxes are fucking overpriced I mean I would use it if It came with the bike but if I'm going to buy a box/pannier its going to be cheap chink square one with quick release I had ridden my friend versys that came with itbut I have never once ever think gee I wish I got the same one the softbags are nice tho
>>29022268Put some rivets in the palm to act as sliders
>>29022268these are ugly as sin but i had a pair of white goatskin gloves like that and they were the comfiest shit on earth
How do I stay organized when working?
>>29022352u dontif you want to try, though, get shitloads of trays/boxes for stuff. you can get little "craft organizers" or tackle boxes and they're great for sorting nuts n bolts or w/ei dont have one but ive heard people get good results from those sectioned silicone mats
>>29022336>debtNah man. Just save up and pay cash. Its not that hard
>>29022352tackle box
I need a new chain but i dont wanna buy one.
>>29022352Just before you take something off take a photo of it clearly showing you how it's supposed to look. Then, just consult the photos when going in reverse. It's going to be in order of the entire process assuming you actually do this.
>>29022375A chain and a pair of sprockets is far cheaper than a hole in your engine block or laceration to your calf. Just buck up and do it.
>>29022375bro a new chain is like 40bux on amazon and it even comes with quicklinks, sometimes even a breaker/riveting tool
>>29022342I'm not too worried about aerodynamics over looks. I don't want cloth bags as it doesn't match the aesthetic of the bike and if I'm doing a fun day where I want aerodynamics I would just take them off. I'm pissed off because honda makes OEM ones just not for my fucking model of bike, they only make a bag that sits on the back seat.
>>29022379i kinda doubt those 50HP could actually tear a chain though.
>>29022383Hey if you wanna be dumb, by all means indulge. >50hp isn't enough to pop a chainYou'll learn.
>>29022302fascinating. I know the inner surfaces are allowed to be rough but that's something else.
guess what bike this is /DBT/
love me some chink leds
>>29022352Just b urself and have everything thrown around the shop, then just remember where everything is. Shrimple as that
>>29022391Looks like some sort of kawasaki raped into being a 916 duc
>>29022317Yup. If I do get a bagger, I need to set aside msrp + 10k just to get it right, front and rear suspension would be first priority. I'm sure its comfortable being low to the ground from the factory like that but I personally hate the look of it so squat
>>29022287Shoomers doesnt need to pretend to be anime, i am already
my wife doesn't like the idea of my riding a motorcycle but I wanna do it anyways.Convince me why I should listen to her.
>>29022336>>29022174It's just like 30kI mean you want to talk stuff that's really not affordable, try a live-in au pair. Basically 80k a year. Plus you lose a room in your house cause she needs a place to live. Harley's are not expensive, you're just in your 20s.
>>29022401What's your life insurance policy and does it cover an at fault motorcycle accidents?

How upset would you be if I added a windscreen half fairing to the front of my "naked" bike? Idk, I always like that look on the front reminds me of what gets me into bikes (retro anime). Pic rel.
>>29022451Why would we care what you did to your bike?
>>29022453Because it's beautiful.
>>29022401foids can't be convinced with arguments, you can't lay out the facts (most accidents speeding, over 1/3 of accidents occur when drunk, other countries with more training have substantially safer motorcyclists, modern gear like airbags and proper helmets substantially reduce risk)convince you to listen to her? no. she's retarded.
>>29022448Yeah you call yourself a zoomer but you're probably almost 30 yourself.I'm untouchable, I know what makes gen z hurt, I am the legendary "Zillennial"
>>29022456>almost 30Aww. Try again nufag

>>29022470Twas a great time. Existed before and after the internet. Young enough to understand but old enough to not get absorbed.Are we oldfags?
>>29022471The engine. Also the electrics.Didn't like the transmission either.The engine was just shit, it was awkward to work around with, had a lot of dumb bullshit going on, not that much documentation online, specialty tools here and there and to top it all of, everything costs an arm and a leg on it if you can find the parts, a lot being NLA.I went through 2 cams and did the chain plus guides during one year of ownership. New alternator, pistons and bearings too. Sunk about 2 and a half grand into it and figured that I don't like the bike at all.It was also kinda awkward to ride due to the transmission, it's a big fat cruiser so you'd expect to ride it out with low revs and let the torque handle it, but the engine wants you to gun it like you stole it, making it a very awkward experience to ride.I'd unironically pick an Ural over it, the only advantage the gucci had was its top speed, it could actually reach and maintain highway speeds.
>>29022487Oh yeah and the oil filter is inside the god damn oilpan.Yeah sure they make aftermarket oilpans with the filter on the outside, but come the fuck on.Even Urals once they got oil filters had it easily replaced as it's a cartridge under a big cap

>>29022550>retirement>go to workwhy are zoomers so fucking dumb
>>29022550Sounds like your life sucks
>>29022550How do you peak at 13-17 lol absolutely shit roll or low as fuck T.
>>29022564He's right. That's when life truly peaks. People talk about 30-40s being the "prime" but thats just cope, it means you are just locked into enjoying abstract things like a career and whatnot. Thats why guys that peak later in life often just get cockrot in cambodia or some shit.
>>29022569No, you're just a fat fuck with no test
>>29022569no, you just havent gotten your first real job yetmy 20s sucked but now in my 30s i finally got a normie job and while going to the WAGE CAGE itself sucks, I finally have spending money and can enjoy my other time (and tbqh i was just rotting in front of a computer otherwise and if not for computers i'd probably be hanging out at the park smoking ditch weed and reading comics or something). now i have a moped and can go afford tickets to my local sex dungeon and to stock a little tool room for hobbies and sheeitpeople who say they peaked in high school are just still on the high from completing the tutorial and/or have rich parents
>>29022550Lol no, I have a better life in my 30s than I ever did from 15-30. From 15 til I was like 32? I worked 40 hours a week or more and for a decade I was working 21 days straight before having 1 day off(sundays only). Now I have a cushy work from home job that I do maybe for like 2 hours a day if that while doing all my passions and hobbies and having lots of extra money. Age is irrelevant to living life to the fullest. As long as you're not unhealthy you'd need to be like in your 60s for shit to be an issue for enjoying life at all. If anything our generation is going to be the first to truly enjoy our lives without the crushing weight of work now that remote work exists. The generation after is fucked because you're all broke and poor though. Truly is peak right now to be in your 30s or 40s.
>>29022554>No Country For Old Menthe average age where i live is like 55
>>29022550>22-28 retirement>29 go to workWhat did he mean by this?
>>29022569That's retarded.1-12 was just monkey glued to Nintendo12-15 was fuck every piece of furniture15-20 was my punk phase20-30 was peak for sex and social life.30-40 everyone around me started dying. I think part of me died coping with it.40 has been my physical peak I work out five days a week and supplement. Social life has really dropped off but I have put 35k miles this year so far.

How insane is the used market in your cunt? Ridiculous around here. Boomers are hoarding bikes, I see the same listings for years.Why would I pay 4000 euros for a 25yo DRZ 400 in need of a rebuild when I can buy a brand new DRZ4S for just a couple thousands more?25yo bonnevilles are listed for almost 10k.
I can sit on a wooden bench for hours without my butt complaining about it.My bike has a flat seat that supports my butt just like a wooden bench does, and it has padding, but my butt gets tired within an hour.Weird.
>>29022569>He's right.Bro 13-17 ooomgggg bro you got nothingggeinggg romflamahaha, like yea you could learn dumb shit fast as fuck and bounce back from a wreck like it's nothing also fuck illegal pussy but man I just couldn't, just don't wreck, fucking experienced girls is more fun man baby sex is fucking whack like nobody even knows how to cum its just funny if you think about it. Anyway what brand of motorcycle do you find yourself gravitating towards? Pls reply.
>>29022628Boomers all think their bikes are special pieces of work one of a kind! Literally when I was at the dealership buying my new bike this week some boomer called the desk of the guy I was working with and he had him on speaker he asks the dude "what bike is it?" you know, a simple make and model year question. The boomer started rambling on no joke for almost 5 minutes about "oh yeah well it's got this done to it and that done to it oh yeah man it's a special piece nothing like it man" and never even answered the damn question. Unless I was buying something quite unique and special (like a relic from the 70s or 80s) I would never buy a used bike from anyone. I just know it wouldn't have the same care given to it that I give to my bikes.

>>29022824What is it with long rides and getting sick
>>29022835your ass is SHOOKliterally, the vibrations upset your stomach. at least thats what ive observed. drink a lot of water and have a weighty but not "heavy" meal before departing and you will generally feel better
Shoomer bros, i need to grt the trailer gitch eithout towing package for my cage, but what is this module actually called so i can search for one such mounting system and hopefully put one on
I forgot my image and made a billion spelling mistakesNaybe best solution is just have a welder make custom bracket for the trailer hitch and then i can affix mine: as long as shes structurally sound for like 750lbs i shouls be ok?
>>29022602That's annoying, but kinda understandable when you look at the engine itself, not many other places you could mount it. Maybe on the crankshaft side somewhere.In the Moto Guzzi the oil filter was spun into the oil pan itself.
hitting myself with Bravery and Faith and then the rear wheel locks up because the chain gets torn apart AGAIN when i have to brake suddenly to accommodate other traffic (magic is not real and wishful thinking is not a replacement for engineering or fabrication)(I am not so arrogant that i will not let people merge or otherwise turn in)i think im getting a reputation in the community because ive noticed that people look at my vehicle (not me; they do not lock eyes; I suppose they find me so foul that looking at me is an insult unto themselves) with disgust rather than curiosity now. I'm not sure if it's that I the person am so disgusting or that what I'm riding manages to be worse. i have probably become a known road hazard in the neighborhood either way. Even at my local bar, the one thing people say I'm foul for is my bike; I'm not even allowed to talk about it in any of the bartenders' presence. People are there to abandon their problems, not take on anyone else's. Especially so when it's stuff that no one should be doing anyway.I will continue to ride regardless. It's fun and I like it, and I take its lack of reliability as a personal insult I made myself against myself. The closer it gets to being reliable, the more maintainable it becomes, the more I am able to maintain it and make it reliable, better I am as a person.

i've got my moto endorsement test today!
>>29022855>electricKill Yourself.
>>29023008Rip!
>>29023008Do you just need to show up or it's a proper European test?
>>29023019it's a surprise. you'll find out tomorrow.
>>29021966What sucked about the Moto Guzzi?
>>29023008It took me literally like 5 minutes to get my permit like a decade ago or whatever. Shit was hilarious I just went to a small towns bureau and no one was there at all so most of the time was literally just entering my info into the system for the test. I did this in the dead of winter to, so in the spring when msf classes opened up and signed up for the first ones. 2 weekend classes that were like idk 2 hours of my time and I had my license. Shits easy as fuck.
>>29023035See>>29022487It was just a very awkward bike all around and not in a good way
>>29022855>hybrid scooterwhy is this allowed
>>29023056It took me 18 years to go from my learners to my full.
>>29022503>once they got oil filtersKekInteresting to hear all that. I'm a wrenchlet (not that I have the space to wrench anyways) and here in the netherlands, any decent dealership will give you 12 months warranty on used purchases. Would you say you'd judge the bike differently in that context or is it shit on the riding experience alone already?
>>29023073I ride an Ural, breakdowns and it being a piece of shit is not an issue to me.The riding experience while awkward wasn't a deal breaker either, the biggest issue was that I just didn't like it on a personal basis.Once I started thinking about putting an Ural engine and transmission into it, I figured it was time for it to go.Also Urals have oul slinger plates on the crankshaft that act as oil filters, ecen nowadays.I meant once they got external filter cartridges on top of that
>>29023073>Space to wrench>On a fucking bikeNigga if you have room to park your bike, you have space to wrench.
>Put on new meds>Doc says to stop riding bike because they will make me drowsy and slow>Me with resting 170/110 blood pressure because fight/flight is stuck firmly in the 'on' positionдaвaй!!!
>>29023082I park in a narrow alley right next to the street near my house that's also in public view. I don't really feel like being a gypsy repairing my shit out on the street
>>29023089So you DO have enough space?
>>29023088have you tried interventions which don't involve taking pills, such as eating healthy, losing excess fat, stopping smoking drinking and workaholism, and doing meditation and/or vagus nerve exercises?
>>29023104Oh yes, very 3/3/3 breathing, drawing squares with my finger, going for sunny lunchtime strolls, practicing laughing, just smiling, sitting in the sun, meditating and saying my affirmations on the hour every hour.IT'S VERY HELPFUL WHEN I HAVEN'T SLEPT IN THREE DAYS AND I CAN'T KEEP DOWN FOOD.Also good news, I went for a long ride today and it was very uneventful except for the insane cottonmouth.
>>29023073>any decent dealership will give you 12 months warranty on used purchases. ohoh you have no fucking clue how bad it is in the US.the powersports dealer near me won't give 12 months warranty on new purchases. UNLESS, you pay up for the "extended warranty" (which makes it a 24 months warranty, and it's not through the dealer, but through the manufacturer, so they wash their hands with it the second it rolls off their showroom floor)You have no idea how exploitative this third world country known as Burgertown can be.
>>29023119>>29023073This is also why you're going to see a lot of posts about "wrench culture" and "wrenching" in this primarily American threads. If you don't know how to wrench, dealers WILL ignore literally all agreements you made with them to gouge you for wrenching it, and they won't even do a good job. You'll see literal high school kids driving teslas pulling up to go work at their wrenching job where they still put imperial unit wrenches on metric unit bolts because "WELL ITS CLOSE ENOUGH, RIGHT?" and later go "Uhhhhh sorry we ummmmmm found a stripped bolt and ummmmmmmmmmmmmm need a new head on your cylinder uhhhhhhhhhh $2000 please." without a shred of remorse. We have wrenching culture in the USA for the same reason third world nations have a wrenching culture: everyone is trying to fuck us at all times and it's for a job most people can do themselves better by reading the manual. That's all the shop techs are doing. They don't have any experts who know what the fuck they're doing, they'll hire high schoolers and Indians in a second. This is ON TOP of them also fucking us over on dealership fees. Most people want to never look at or enter a dealership ever after buying anything, used or new. Check out this guy spending almost twice what a Super Cub is worth in just doc and title fees alone.https://youtu.be/LQ39z6ymT90&t=30This is just normal here. When this is normal, asking them to touch your bike is like asking to be raped.
>>29023106well just asking because many people seem to think that the only answer to health problems is to take pills made by a pharmaceutical company
>>29023106>>29023088I have the same problem thanks to being a little bit bipolarYou're going to need apple sauce packets and fast. I am serious. I have a stomach condition from my issues and when the heat is on, the only thing I can keep down is applesauce. I can't even keep water down. After you get some applesauce packets in, you want to immediately sleep with your legs raised and count backwards, imagine your speedometer as you slow down. Picture that in your head and count backwards as it goes to zero. Your blood sugar immediately jumps from the applesauce, and then crashes. That crash is the window you need to get to sleepBest of luck bud. We're here if you want to blogpost since it's not like most of us are riding anyway lol
>>29023119>Call Ural>Your outsourced cams suck shit, what the fuck>Dude, just email us your bank number and we'll refund you
>>29023136And you seriously send Ural your bank number?
>>29023128Gib magic pill kthxbai.
>>29023137Yes? What are they gonna do with it, send me money?
>>29023139I guess I'm just used to getting raped by bigger name brands that I would expect Rajeesh in customer service to try scams to siphon money from it. What this sounds like is that I need to buy a Ural in a box.
>>29023142With bank number I mean my account number, you can't do anything with said number except send money to it.Ian the card number more useful for scamming purposes anyway
>>29023145Oh, that's a fairly sane system then. With Yamaha when I asked for an OEM replacement, they asked for my credit card number and that was on top of filling out multiple forms (I didn't get it in the end.)
also is Ural, the offshoot of a Russian brand, really that good to work with?
>>29023135Appreciate the suggestion.On my last 'episode' it wast almost 3 weeks on just 'breakfast' drinks was all I could manage. The shift from glucose to post-ketosis is interesting.Being sleep deprived enough to start questioning hypnagogic hallucinations while feeling utterly awake is a fun exercise in sanity.
>>29023156I would be cautious about 'breakfast' drinks, they have loaded with either protein or caffeine and will make the problem worse. That's why I like apple sauce, you just want things that boost blood sugar.
>>29023119>>29023126Damn, that sounds pretty grim. I mean you still need to be careful and attentive even here, not all companies/dealerships are good, sometimes the mechanics will do a shoddy job or leave things unfinished and reviews (from real people) help separate the good from the bad a lot. But it's nowhere near as bad as what you are describing.I am wondering though, does all of this come with a lower price? I recall america having much lower prices for used cars (and I assume bikes too) in general though maybe that's just because of tax/the market there? How much would you be expected to pay for a used 'ku in decent condition (so no crash damage or big flaws, mileage around 50k kilometers/30k miles and 10-15 years old at most). Here the prices for that hover around 4-7k eur, higher if you want something fancy of course. To give a concrete example, I paid 4750 for my 2008 GSX650F and it had 30k kilometers on the clock at the time. Part of the deal was 12 months warranty, new tires, and fluid/filter change
>>29023152Only if you are a fingolian autist.
>>29022971How are they dog shit? In what way? They have good riding dynamics too.
>>29023152What do you mean offshoot?You mean IMZ after it got restructured?It's still the same company under sanction evading disguises.Like officially it's headquarters are in the US and the parts are sourced from around the world, with final assembly being done by "qualified professionals on site before delivery" or some fancy way of saying john doe in california oblast put on the register plate holder on the driveway or some shit like that.
>>29022965Nope. Go test ride one, they’re great motorcycles. I’ve only ever had jap and german bikes before and Triumphs are in a league of their own. Poors won’t get it tho, cus its hard to find a cheap/mint triumph on FB marketplace
>>29023158Duly noted. Only protein and sugar for the specific ones I had, after a week of just water I knew I had to stomach something, anything..Outwardly functioning was the singular goal above all else.They're going to ramp me up to 125-175mg amitriptyline over the next month, last time I was on that amount it turned me from a hyperactive wreck into a bed zombie.Best stock up on cinnamon and high octane apple eh?/Blogpost.

>>29023166ive always heard these horror stories about dealerships but in my own experience its the independent mechanics who are looking to screw you. dealerships might have a slightly higher price on the face of it, but things always go well. Across both cars and bikes this has been my experience. It's a bear to find an independent mechanic who isn't trying to screw you. There's little incentive for them not to, since they have contracts with tow trucks and have a constant flow of captured customers. But if I go back to the chevy dealer or the honda dealer who i've bought more than one vehicle from before they really do not want to screw me, since then I won't buy another car from them.

how come sintered pads seem to be preferred everywhere, wouldn't you want the pads to be the main wear item rather than discs
>>29023252Shrug for bikes.With cars (MX5) I've always had rotors outlive pads but the cost of resurfacing rotors exceeding that of new rotors. I've never owned a bike long enough to wear out a set of pads when dailying - crazy that bike discs are like 3x the cost of cars.

>>29023166Well it depends, not all dealership/companies are good here but not all are bad, either. There was a nice family-owned Honda dealership that I wish I gave every fucking cent in my bank account for a CRF250L a few years back, but I didn't. The problem is: It's way too easy for big, exploitative companies to get away with everything and way too difficult for good companies to be rewarded for being good. That family-owned Honda dealership? It got bought by a larger, regional dealership and is now one of the worst places on planet earth to buy a bike from. And that's pretty easy to see why: Being a nice, family-owned business doesn't earn checks, fucking people over earns checks and you have to REALLY fuck someone over to get to the point where the lawyers get involved. In America, fucking people over is just the default state because good customer service doesn't pay. >I am wondering though, does all of this come with a lower price?kek, no.> I recall america having much lower prices for used cars (and I assume bikes too) in general though maybe that's just because of tax/the market there?This was probably true at one time, but as time as gone on: It's less and less true at any time post-covid. Covid was the turning point where every industry realized they could make worldwide standardized prices and people would just put up with it. We're seeing it with computer parts, now. Cars and automobiles in general was one of the first things to have massive price hikes around the time of covid, the explanation being 'it's inflation' despite no period of inflation prior to this requiring such massive price hikes. It was basically the end of any real perk of owning a car or a bike in America. All this, and it's still not a requirement to come with any sort of guarantee or warranty, so we get fucked out of that, too.
>>29023260Most people don't know what bikes are or aren't knowledgable enough to understand what they have or what they ride. They just know they 'own a motorcycle' and maybe think the number is the ccs or have some stupid idea planted in their head about what the specs are.

>>29023309Obviously they're wonderful motorcycles. Alternative hypotheses for why they're so popular don't make much sense. If you're in America, most Harley dealerships (all of them, in my experience) are very happy to let you take long test rides. Give one a whirl.

I want to learn more about the nuances of racing Twin engines. What should I consoom? I see a lot of inline 4 related content discussing all the little things that goes into managing the revs but I don't know what I can listen to that goes in depth on twin shyt. Any suggestions? Ducati stuff maybe?
>>29023377I can't help you with knowledgeable resources but my general experience is big bore twins have a more momentum style where average speed is more important than point and shoot style that prioritize peak speeds like an i4. Point and shoot doesn't work so well on twins because they run out of horsepower on the top end, meanwhile all their mid range torque can make for high average speed with good momentum management
>>29023377A long time ago I read a track test of all the current superbikes that went into the nuances. In short, twins win bigly in medium speed and corner exit situations. On the way out of a corner twins are already in their powerband and making more torque than fours, so maximise your gains there. IIRC in the test, the KTM RC8R was pulling 2-3 bike lengths out of a bend before getting mogged by the Gixxer and Ninja before the braking zone. The 1098 was like the KTM but less minmaxed, and the big-bang R1 was middle ground. So basically carry speed, get on the throttle early and avoid tracks with mega- straights.
