I tried to jump start my bike through my trickle charger and blew the fuse

I would ride my bike to work everyday if it could carry my lawn mower, weed whackers , trimmer, blower and 2 illegal immigrants with it
>>29050293Ural with a trailer.
>>29050293Goldwing
>>29050293Why not ride your lawn mower to work?
I adjusted throttle cable down at the throttle bodies so there is 0 slack in throttle. Was that a bad idea? Slop tells me throttle bodies might be constantly open a bit, messing up fueling. Especially when I turn my wider aftermarket handlebar and cable gets tight.
>>29050416Maybe I should stop complaining about my bike shaking.
>>29050293BOSS HOSS with a trailer hitch.
>>29050401You need a bit of slack in the cable, something like 2mm is the desired. You also might have to resync the throttles now that you've fucked with the slack.
Does buying 50 cc make any sense in a country where riding 125 cc has barely more legal requirements?
>>29050371>900ccm mower>duct tape kitchen chair on top of the engine>move the handlebar to the frontor tune a lawn mower tractor. but that's less fun
>>29050454only if you're in a city. outside.. 50ccs is what teenagers ride and it gets you from a to b, but boy are they slow, especially uphill. I had a lot of good times back then, but I don't miss going so slow in winter or in rain
>>29050454does a 50cc scooter meet your needs ?
>>29050443Yeah I thought so, thanks.
Moto Guzzi Monday
>>29050484Looks heavier than you mama.
>>29050484I am a cunt hair away from buying this exact motorcycle.
>CB650Fis there a better naked?
>>29050484>>29050487i love the stelvio even though i'd never ever buy one. There's no reason to buy anything other than a Transalp or Tenere in the adventure middleweight segment
>>29050489Do those both have a horizontally mounted V twin?
>>29050485A hair over 500 lbs, not horrible, comparable to the Africa Twin>>29050487Do it, I have one and they're glorious. Spec sheets do not properly tell what the bike is like when you ride it. >>29050489>Transalp or TenereNot a direct comparison to 21" bikes plus ptwins bore me.
>>29050488>pinoy bike
>>29050493Hondas thai bikes have fantastic build quality.
>>29050489i dont have any intention to ride off road anyway. the TT Travel (it's in the name) is competing for me in the lightweight touring category, such that it is. Shaft drive, really good wind and weather protection for a bike its size, big tank, robust electrical system for running auxiliary lights and heated gear, comes with hard luggage and easy to install a top box.
>>29050494I'm just salty it's out of my budget. I would even go for something like 2010 CB600F, but fuck if I can find it for sale here.
>>29050488
>>29050499It would be even more out of your budget if they made them in japan still
>>29050505Isn't Japan in deflation slump and is thus overrun by tourists and rapefugees? I don't imagine produce would be very expensive. My friend that visited told you can buy 5 pair of brand shoes in Japan, fly back, sell them at a market value and pay for your tickets entirely.
>>29050506Cost of labor is still higher than it is in thailand.
>>29050504I want to see a ZH2RS version of this
Be careful whose girl you steal
>>29050488>>29050504retro future bike coming in
I can't really ride much any more, too old, too fat, bad back, bad knees. But I do still like working on bikes. So for the last 7 years or so I've been picking up old bikes, fixing them up, and selling them. Currently I have all Hondas. Not by choice, it's just what I've found lately in local ads.- Trail70 - fully restored and sold, just waiting for the guy to pick it up- SL100 - about 2/3rds of the way through restoring this one, still a lot of polishing to do, plus a few parts I'm still waiting for.- XL350 - I have two of these, thinking I'll probably fix up the good one and use the other that's in pretty bad shape as a parts donor.
>>29050523>too old, too fat, bad back, bad kneesBuy a Harley
>>29050523Stop stuffing your fat fucking face
>>29050523Small bikes are actually way harder on the body than big ones.
You think you can handle this drz tough guy?
>>29050401>>29050483The slack was fine, couple mm, throttle bodies were closed at rest. I'm going to blame a curse for vibrations at this point.
>>29050562Have you synced the throttles?
>>29050542I'm not fat from gluttony, I'm fat because all my joints are fucked and exercise hurts. Let's see how well you're doing after 50 years of beating the shit our of your body you twat.
>>29050564Yeah, literally yesterday. All at 21-22 cmHg at idle 1300rpm. 21-23 at 4000 rpm. And shop did valve sync last week.
I got my baiku and I watched TOTW2, can I substitute Kino's Journey for Bakuon in order to post here?Before anyone reports me to the authorities, I have a /dbt/ poster's permit atm
>>29050514>Be careful whose girl you stealgood thing women aren't interested in me and my income bracket doesn't attract desperate women
>>29050567CICO boomer you are fat because you eat too much and its destroyed your body. Time to cut social security and let you fend for yourself
>>29050581NTA but you don't seem to get it. When essentially all outside or otherwise physical activities are blocked by an injury, you get bored out of your mind and depressed. There's only so much simple pleasures that can keep you afloat in such situation. I injured my lower back and hip 5 years ago, that year I gained 50 pounds because I just couldn't do anything and if I have also cut my caloric intake - I'd have killed myself.
>check brake fluid because window was empty>open it>there's fluid inside>close it>there's fluid in the window now>somehow broke the blinker relay holder attached to the front cover in the process so had to run to go get super glue
Forgive me father for I have sinned, I rode to office wearing converse.
>>29050586Just jap bike things
>>29050567Do water fasting faggot. Just one whole day once a week is going to get you what you want.
>>29050567Cant you go do physical therapy? Might be that theres something you can do that helps. They will give you exercises you can do that dont aggravate your issues (as much) or possibly target some muscle groups that would alleviate some of the pain if they were stronger.
I only rode my bike 50 meters to gas station wearing only helmet, gloves and leather half-boots. Other times I never ride without full protection + neck banana. Sister of my good friend died after being ran over by tram, brain stem fracture caused by head jerking backwards too far. She had a helmet on.Picrel for reference, though I wear jackets with inserts instead of net armor.
>>29050601NTA but doctors are people and 95% of people are retarded. Random youtube yoga videos helped me more than any doctor. In fact they dismissed exercises that help me the most.
>>29050603honestly injuries seem to be completely randomI've heard of guys breaking their feet or dying just from falling over in parking lots then some guy gets launched onto a car and just gets some bruising
>>29050584The real redpill is that if you don't experience joy when you're fasting, you're a mindraped goyslop consoomer and youre ngmi that's also why you broke your back
>>29050603>ran over by tramHonorary jeet
>>29050608I heard good things about airbag vests. Cheapest one I can get is ~$350. I should justify getting it one day.>>29050610Tram, not train. Russian, trams are also fairly popular in Europe.
>>29050523I'm essentially doing the same. Except I want to keep and ride most of the old bikes I accumulated. It seems like a hack hardly anyone knows about. I feel kinda like that Alex Jones meme.. "The elites don't want you to know this, but the 1970's Honda motorcycles in local ads are [practically] free. I have 7 motorcycles in my garage..."
>>29050605Doctors are one thing but Ive had good experience with physical therapists personally. My issues weren't as bad as the guy im replying to but it helped me with both back pain that ive had since childhood as well as a knee pain that I recently had which ended up being caused by muscle imbalance. The patient after me was some old dude in his 60s and he seemed like he would have had issues more along the lines of middle age anon, and that guy seemed like he was getting some help/relief out of going.
>>29050620You just happened into the good one. It's a process to find a good doctor.
>>29050612What is tram if not a slow train?
>>29050504This is great and all, but B-King is cooler and just as crazy. The actual final boss naked bike.
>>29050660It's a small, slow train and there's also a significant difference in rails. Due to need of having sharp bends, the metallurgy of tram rails is completely different, facing it's own set of problems.
almost fragged a squirrelsplit second instinct from mtbing was to stand up on the pegs to roll over it, is that good or bad reflex
Yesterday I changed out my rear tire on my own, with just a couple of tire spoons. It really wasn't that hard. It was a shinko tubeless - a pretty stiff tire, but once you figure it out, muscling it onto the rim and getting the bead set isn't too hard. Used a fuck load of bead lube though lmao. >>29050419Motorcycles shake, anon, that's what they do. >>29050416Got a kek out of me.
>>29050416Reminded me of my ratty CB500. Once hot, it was cheaper to hold clutch for 5 minutes than trying to find neutral.
>>29050678>almost fragged a squirrelI almost fragged a kitten yesterday. This would have required a bottle of rum to live through.
>>29050672It's a bus train and getting run over by one is fuckong dumb because you know if there's one coming and you can literally predict where it's going to go.
>>29050699That one broke the rules, it was supposed to halt at the stop even without passengers, but it didn't and sped through. Also the girl in question was challenged.
>>29050731So she assumed the tram would stop and went anyway? My American brain cant comprehend this
Finally bought a helmet and took the CB750 around for about 10 miles.I forgot how fun motorcycling is, guess Ill finally unfuck the rear taillight wiring.
>>29050761>this fucking retard bought a bike before a helmetYes, we're doing this again.
>>29050488katana
>>29050761Lube your chain
If the 916 is the most beautiful sport bike, then the rc51 is the most handsome sport bike.
>>29050524He said he was old, fat, and already had a bad back and knees, not that he was looking to get old and fat and ruin his back and knees.
>>29050741Yes, she saw the stop and assumed tram will stop (as it should have), and stopped looking at it. it didn't and also didn't see her somehow.
>>29050783He should lose weight
>>29050573But did you ask permission to pass?>>29050586JIS screwed you driver>>29050773Kino
>>29050773this looks cool as fuck in a 90s vhs player kind of way
>>29050622Physios aren't doctors you decrepit old man. And yes they can probably help you. Your body is in constant pain from underuse, not overuse. That is to say, you never strengthened yourself through exercise and then you injured yourself through manual labour that was above your ability. Also you eat too much.I'm about to ride my MOTORCYCLE to the gym and deadlift 180kg.
>>29050815bro I said NTA, i'm not 50 and I do at least 3 hours of exercise very week, not counting walksunless your physios aren't human like dooctors - guess what, 95% of them are shot tooI went to several that did retarded accupuncture, stretches that made everything worse and electrotherapythey were fucking stupid all of them, fucking youtube shorts was what taught me exercises that help
>>29050797Entirely beside the point
Finally put a luggage rack on the CBF, now it's a proper successor to the old CB.Selling Viffer, it's too thirsty and too expensive to maintain and not fun to ride anywhere near legal speeds.
>>29050782Don't do that to me, I've got a strong urge for an RC51 right now. And I could just afford an SP2 to love whilst it appreciates further.
>>29050833Fuck the monetary appreciation, you buy one you ride one. There will never be another machine built like the RC51. They last for hundreds of thousands of miles.
>>29050567Go to the pool, faggot
>>29050584I get where you're coming from. Ignore all these little shits who haven't struggled in their lives. It may benefit you to find some low impact ways to be a bit more active though. After I got a pretty serious spinal injury a few years ago I had a pretty similar issue. Just having an excuse to get out of the house and get the blood moving a bit does wonders for you. The guy who suggested a pool is right that getting into water eases a lot of the pain and makes it so there's less pressure on your joints and spine.Hell, I even got to a point where I can ride again without issues.
from last race event
Even Fatwing can lose weight on ozempic
>>29050851Yeah, I got over it for the most part. Just wish doctors weren't retards and gave me proper recommendations 5 years ago.
You ride these narrow streets in a spanish town, suddenly you see a front of a transporter showing up on the side street on your ride side. There's no street sides visible, the rules call they have a right of the way, you have only a split second to decide if you are emergency breaking or going without trying to stop. What's your choice?
>>29050867>There's no street sides visibleStreet signs
>>29050867I don't get into that situation to begin with by adjusting my speed based on the conditions, particularly where visibility is low
>>29050867>transporterI prefer to be alive over being right, so I'm plapping them brakes like your momma.
>>29050867that bike's going around 20 mph so you simply stopyou might edge the intersection at this distance but you'll probably be fine
do I have to worry about not accelerating fast enough in traffic under a certain CC?
>>29050869>>29050870>>29050875Wrong you are supposed to go without showing an intention to stop and the transporter should wait. Why? Because fuck you that's why, that's how rules work in south countries apparently.
>>29050889Not really, you just need to plan a bit further ahead.Example: you're lane filtering, the light turns green, cars start moving around you. Their mirrors could clip you, so you might want to accelerate past one. But if you plan ahead and duck in front of a car before the light turns green (or before the cars start moving), then you're fine.
>>29050896>you are supposed to goYou can't make me.
>>29050896The person literally slowed down you doofus. If I were to guess the person literally went into retard mode and awaited death.
>>29050889If you need to get the fuck out of the way suddenly like in an emergency then yeah but if you're moving it most of the time not really. You need to wring it's neck out regardless to open the tap up. The fact you can pull off so fast on bigger bikes is why I'll always put trust in bigger bikes over small ones.
>>29050454Cute
A liter fully faired Suzuki GSX-R1000 with ABS from 2000s weighs 195kg wet. A new naked Suzuki GSX-S1000 with the same engine weighs 20kg more.Anon does having TFT display and riding modes make it worth for you to ride a 20kg heavier bike?
>>29050763Yes, its fun I was thinking about selling it but I have it priced too high and it is fun, now that every curb doesn't look like complete death.>>29050778Yeah yeah, I know, its bad. Frankly I need to just replace it and the sprocket.
>>29050988In my experience, expensive shit starts to fail after 30-40K km and if you bought used, for the price of repairs, parts, maintenance and work - you could have bought a brand new bike instead. It's an illusion of saving money. Granted, you could bet on dropping it and buying just a bit fresher bike instead and repeat the process. But unless you open up the bike entirely for pre-purchase diagnostics (and seller allows it) - you never actually know what you are really buying.
>>29050988Is most of the weight from the huge cat/muffler? >>29051007I've taken a bike from 3000 to over 55,000 miles and only had wear item problems. Things like fork seals are expensive if you can't do them yourself, I guess, but overall it was pretty cheap to run.
>>29051016>I've taken a bike from 3000 to over 55,000 miles and only had wear item problems.You were lucky.
>>29050988Nu one has +50hp and you can do -20kg with a pipe so it's better SUZUKI doesn't fuck around
Good news everyone, we are back on dirt knobulars, new shockspring is in, old lighter gas tank back, just decided to paint the front brake guard and fork guards alsoHavent put those on yetStill need to set chain tightness and actually torque down both axle nutsLastly set da sag properly and thenslap the exhaust and final fairing into placeOh and grease a few spotsAlso since everything is burning and on fire in bc, i think im going to be isolated to local regions for trails if any anytime soonCousin should be off this or next week for some dirtbiking, maybe he borrows his and we goAlsoSince painting front fork gusrds is weird curvy shapes; imma cut out some chevrons and make it look industrial again like my crash bars were hazard striped yellowI miss those, now that i have my old gas tank installed, i might attempt to reweld them back together again soon
took a picture of a fireblade RR-R SP this weekend, this thing looks so fucking slick
>>29051031Is it hard setting sag
>>29051019It was a CP2 Yamaha, that was expected.
Nobike hereI understand why sport bikes have high horsepower as they are meant for track useBut why do naked bikes need so much anyway if they are meant for the streets?
>>29051070They are meant for fun.
>>29050896Why does this video feels fake?
>>29051070Having the power to accelerate between corners instead of having to carry as much speed as possible at all times is fun, especially for hillclimbsmid bait
>>29051070moped fag here, it sucks having to rape my throttle to go up any hill or just corners
>>29051076It's not bait, I wanted to know
>>29051077Does something around 50-70hp won't get the job done?
>>2905108170hp here, sometimes it doesn't. There are situations where I would have threaded the needle if I had 30 or 20 more hp, but I feel that lack of power preventing the maneuver out of caution>yeaaaah I'm not gonna make it so I'm not going to try
>>29051086So it's pretty much about acceleration rather than top speed in the streets
>>29051097Yes, acceleration is more fun than speed too.
>>29051059I dont even know, this will be first timeFor me, i just tightened the preload to 1/3 the way down of the leading ring into the threadsBased on my old stock spring and where it lines up and my stiffer spring is like 60% or more than the oem softer springrate, i figured if i go 1/3 the way; maybe thatll be close to stock sag setting on a softer spring and can just creep my way higher if it isntIm after i think 105cm, but maybe ill do a different numberDood theres so much info in just the manual per terrain types, obviously tires matter too and make a big difference but next and arguably more important, if its extreme different environment, would be suspensionsAlso i got mad at taping for painting, the masking tape around these curves is enlarging up the lines, and somehow lost my scisors so now im clueless about designing something different or trying again
>>29051076Man, im missing shooming on the full sized bike, crf life is just too much when youre not ted bundy core 24/7I wonder if the vtwin experience is achievable nattyBut i really like shaft drive systemsWas also curious on studying S&S motors and as theyre like refined or upgraded clones of milwake harley vtwinsWould it be cool to drop an S&S motor into japscrap or ie that the forbidden kino we just dont shoom about?
I guess i'm taking a roadtrip to california
>>29050993>Frankly I need to just replace it and the sprocket.Me too anon, me too. I’m stuck between doing it now and saving it for winter so at least I can do something bike related during the frozen months. >>29051031Lookin good anon!
>>29051106>I guess i'm taking a roadtrip to californiaGreat choice! Where ya headed?
>>29051112Just gotta be in Santa Monica on Saturday or Sunday. Other than that just meander, probably go up the coast to see USS Hornet and Pampanito
Where do you apartment people keep your bike?
>>29051115lol shit, hope that doesn't fuck me too hard, I'll be over at the snake that day taking pics. Make sure you don't let anime distract you from getting some good riding in anon. Malibu has some of the best roads in California
>>29051116>apartment peopleI specifically rented a half bedroom bungalow to avoid this trouble. If you're on the base level and got a backyard you can throw down some pavers and park on those.>>29051122Its close by so I'll add it to the detour list. thanks.
>want to take bike out>worried about climate change
>>29051149It's more friendly to the enviornment than those private yachts anon.
>>29051161I no longer have a private yacht

>>29050608>launched onto a car and just gets some bruisingthat was meeeee
Why have I never gotten pulled over on a motorcycle despite riding like a bat out of hell, but I get pulled over in my car when I breathe near a cop?
Should i get a lithium battery on my dual sport? I probably wont ride it in winter
>>29051165Left gets taken to the curvesRight gets taken to the mechanic
>>29051115Meet me in sunol
>>29050832>Selling Viffer,Cute, but sad to see the mighty viffer go.
>>29051033Honda hasn't won WSBK or MotoGP in the recent past, so this will not sell.
>>29050488SV650 ofc.
Honda should try making CRF 450 Dakar edition.
>>29051288I wish the Japanese bikes were competitive bro. At least it's not Ducati sweeping the podium every race this year
>>29051295Oh, that's cool. Is Aprilia, KTM or Yamaha any good now? I miss Suzuki, they are like a castrated old dog now.
>>29051287YeahIt's a cool bike but between the fairings, the ABS+CBS braking system and the v4 vtec meme, it's a lot of work to do simple servicing or repair work. Which I'm slowly learning to tolerate again (wrenching on the CB and CBF has been quite fun these past few weeks), but on the VFR it's pretty involved and (when I'm too lazy to do it myself) expensive as a result.
>>29051216Description of what happened please
>>29050608Webm related happened to me and all I got was bruises, a minor crack in one shoulder blade and a cracked metatarsal
I have an opportunity to get a nice shoei helmet for cheap. Should I get a white helmet or a black helmet aesthetically speaking. I'm thinking black+white bike and black clothes so idk
>>29051382White helmet makes you look like a learner with a school helmet.
>>29051291With i4
2 km grocery run coming upDo I take the car or do I take the CBF with its new casesHmmmmm
>>29051407Walk
>>29051409That's a 1 hour walk (4 km total), with 20-30 kg of groceriesNo
>>29051411That's nothing.Back in my day as an army "ranger" squad leader...
>>29051415Just because I can doesn't mean I want toI lugged that amount of stuff around recently, when I had the CB towed while on tourIt was doable but exhausting and I'm in my mid 30s now
>>29051428>when I had the CB towed while on tourSo walking it is, at least you don't have to push your bike there and back
>>29051437I have more than one bike, bro
>>29051438How are you going to push multiple bikes at the same time?
>>29051440By not being a weak bitch
>>29051442Commendable, but contradictory with this >>29051428
>>29051443Read the first sentence of that post again
>>29051444I refuse to read and the text to speech is acting up
>>29050567Lazy fat fucking boomer, stop making excuses.
>>29051396that stereotype doesn't exist where I liveaaa I can't decide, actually maybe something like black helmet, black and white jacket, something bike is nicer. I guess, I just don't want to look all black with a black helmet and jacket. But then again, I feel like with a white bike, wearing a whitish jacket with a black helmet will be too much white and not a nice black with white accents type look. Honestly I'm overthinking it too much. Black is easier to style
>>29051396This doesnt make any sense
I like riding my bike
I used to be rich cause my mom was richbut she refused to buy me bike,so now that I can buy bike cause she isnt around to tell me no anymoreI cant afford anything anymore ;__;
>>29050783i wonder what type of bike is actually the best for the body?I assume its ADV as long as you are tall enough for one?
Are people who always talk about torque simply afraid of revving their cars?
>>29051506Bench racers don't own vehicles.Bike thread.
>>29051507Shit. I was supposed to make a new thread.
>>29051473White helmets are easier to see when you're riding on the road compared to black helmets.
>>29051473I coordinate the color of my helmet with my bike and wear different colored clothing. So in my case it's a black bike and helmet with colored clothing.
>>29050660A tram is a blind train, a train with no i
>>29050678Standard advice for obstacles is to dodge, if you can't dodge standing helps reduce the impact from the obstacle
>>29051149Just know every mile you ride on your bike is another ten sweaty Indians melting in the future
>>29051357Damn dog you easily could have and should have avoided that. You're not very comfy on that bike are you?
>>29051407100% bike + cases, i do all my grocery runs on the bike and i am the baddest dood in the store every time i go
These threads are low-key the best thing on 4chan in the current yearI dont even have a bike but there is something special going on here with how cars are becoming too shitty and expensive and impossible to maintainIt feels like getting a bike is the only way to bring back that sense of freedom americans once had Car culture is what it is in america due to unprecedented wealth and its overall vast layout from quick expansion, and then some (((policies))) trying to force multiculturalism resulting in suburbia, and lobbying from automotive industries to force people to rely on roads as well. Cars were what gave that incredible sense of freedom to americans over the past century but now thanks to manufacturers and a bad economy theyre just another way of enslaving you America needs to accept its now just a 3rd world counrry and give up on car culture, half of americans are old boomers in giant, terribly financed- SUVs and trucks, seething at each other trying to run each other and anyone else off the road, with the younger generations mainly being zoomers on scooters, people barely managing to afford a regular car, and a small group of people fighting over a quickly dwindling supply of good old cars that can be worked on by the user instead of being financially raped Most people are driving around with 3+ empty seats 99% of the time anyway, hauling around all that weight pissing away all that gas and paying for the wear and tear on all those materials just to get one person around makes no fucking sense in any time other than the unprecedented economic boom now coming to an end
>>290514114km is a 1 hour walk? Are you 80 and walking with a stick or something?
>>29051382>white or blackI think get the white helmet. Lighter tint gear is suggested but your decision. Black is a heat soak and a hot helmet in summer sounds like hell.My personal stance is get a color that matches nothing.
>>29050494>Hondas thai bikes have fantastic build quality.fax, pic relatedand shoomer, I hope to crash less and I need a new job cuz my body is hurtingit’s ogre bros
>>29051288>Honda hasn't won WSBK or MotoGP in the recent past, so this will not sell.I don't follow motorsports, I just think motorcycles are cool and like taking pics of the riders at my local mountainWas pretty excited to high end sportbike that wasn't a ducati or BMW for once lol
>>29051676tf have you been doing to make that happenlike how often do you crash?
>>29051288They aren't compelled to compete given the fact that honda has the most W's amongst all the manufacturers. >Honda doesn't need to insist upon itself, that's a marketing gimmick
>>29051680The current Fireblade is the most desirable literbike for me right now. Aprilia runs a close second. Ducati are predictable Gucci shit and BMW are for niggers on finance.
>>29051676No; its the time to be a crashing enthusiast timeline, but now next time with a leaderbike
Little bitch lol
>>29051703idk man it just keeps happening, sometimes I hit stuff, sometimes stuff hits me, sometimes things just fall off>>29051758>next time with a leaderbikesome cool guy gave me his cbr 1000 to try, it's just too much fruit man, too much fruit for me
>>29051070Naked usually are geared for slightly lower speeds and depending on the model sometimes come with a detune for mid range punch instead of high end peak, making them a more fun street bike than a race replica. Some even go as far as tweaking the geometry in the forks and swingarm for lower speed maneuverability over high speed stability. There's a lot of give and take when it comes to bike design, liter nakeds are optimized for lower speeds than their superbike counterparts, still far more power than necessary but that's the appeal
>>29051796Listen bros, jjst get something a bit heavier and faster and itll probably be fineIm thinnking its because youre bike it yoo light 4 uLightwright narrower bikes; frames tires and all, in addition to higher ground clearance if that were an issue- all these shits make a ride unstablePlus who tf knows if during your crashing enthusiasms you bent a frame or bearings are frucked or swingarm is shitcanned, wheels misaligned etc.Time to forget the shitbaik and move on
>>29051594That was 11 years ago when I'd had my license for half a year, most of which was winter. So no, I wasn't.
>>29051660>America needs to accept its now just a 3rd world counrry and give up on car culture, half of americans are old boomers in giant, terribly financed- SUVs and trucks, seething at each other trying to run each other and anyone else off the road, with the younger generations mainly being zoomers on scooters, people barely managing to afford a regular car, and a small group of people fighting over a quickly dwindling supply of good old cars that can be worked on by the user instead of being financially rapedIf you leave 4chan, you will find a lot of americans have money. That is, unless you're not even in america.
>>29051808yeah I read it like theres two options: dude has never been to america or never been outside it.
>>29051660>I dont even have a bikelmao why are you even here
>>29050584>>29050851Damn, sorry to hear that anons. Feel like I'm in a similar situation. I've got a back injury....well nerve pain from a cancer growth around L5, feels like sciatica. in hospital now and going through treatment. And can't wait to get back home and get this bad boy running. It had some coil issues a couple years ago and I didn't have the time to devote to fully diagnose. But all I can think of while lying in this hospital bed is fixing this beast
The police found my scooter, they told me over the phone the front plate is atleast missingI really hope im not gonna find a stripped down bare chassis when i pick it up, at that point they could have just thrown it into a lake or somethingMaybe im lucky and it was just taken for a joyride and the front panel is missing because the thiefes cracked it open to hotwire it
>>29050454I thought the only reason 49cc scooters existed is because you could ride one without any sort of license in a lot of areas. In any case, you've got to be a real poor loser motherfucker to get one of those instead of something else on purpose.>but I think scooters are fun!Sorry about your low T, scrub. In civilized countries, the only people riding a scooter are the ones that have to. Anyone who can afford better just gets an actual motorcycle. And God help you if you get a 50cc. You ride in the front of the short bus. You are 1/2 of a step above actual disabled people.>>29050488Hornet 750 is the current pisstwin king.>>29050589I don't see the problem.>>29050608This is truth. Obviously gear is better than no gear, but there's a wide variation in outcomes based on similar accidents. Also some people are naturally uncoordinated and don't know how to fall.>>29050678Good. Over bumps and sketchy terrain you want to be loose on the bars and up on the pegs, let the bike work.>>29051104Dude you got to get out of your head more and just enjoy the bikes you have. Also what's the status on that reckless driving charge?>>29051357Glad to hear you didn't get worse. Also skill issue>>29051396Yeah nah mate>>29051506Almost everyone is afraid of revving anything. It's sad.
>>29051851>but I think scooters are fun!180cc 2 stroke scooters exist and they are crazy funbut also you are a mass replying faggot and I dont value your opinion
>>29051607A fellow trunk enjoyer. These things are great.
>>29051607>>29051861Based fellow trunk enjoyers
>>29051851Did a scooter rider steal your waifu or something?
Why are Texans so bitchmade? Like they're so soft and weak and stupid. Really glad I was born in California to good Californias. Texans are all low IQ losers. https://www.advrider.com/texas-lane-splitting-is-now-officially-illegal/
>>29051883Why not just share the thread without obviously trying to start a fight?
>>29051816The nobike has posted here every day since 2017. He's never even touched a motorcycle.
>>29051886Well when you elect people like Ted Cruz, obviously you're low IQ trash. I live in socal.
>>29051832Dam, get well soon anon. I should start screening soon too.I broke my spinal process at L3 on a pothole lmao, retrolisthesis was fucking up my back for a while, also sciatica-like symptoms. I'm largely over it by now through exercise (planks, hams, glutes).
>>29051116A few guys in my neighborhood just park their shit in the local parking garage, some of them pay for a whole spot, some of them just tuck them into a corner
>>29051116In large apt complexes there are designated spots for bikes you can rent for cheap, sometimes there's a cage with card reader around it. A lot of people I knew rented a garage nearby where they wrenched their bike.Personally, my rat bike I just chained to a public fence in a corner. It was a good neighborhood, I wouldn't consider this otherwise. After I started buying better bikes, I rented a space in parking garage from a dude that bought 1.5 size one for ATV but never got it. Now I park it in the corner of parking garage under cameras, safe neighborhood and country.
>>29051874No, I've just never met one that wasn't coping hard as fuck about something and I'm tired of them.
>>29051902Sounds like you're an asshole and you start problems with them
>>29051890So do I but I stopped being a libtard a long time ago.
So does everyone just ignore Chadfe now? He's lookin pretty rough now too
>>29051890Cruz is a fucking faggot but this is /o/ and not /pol/. You give the rest of us Californians a bad image.
>>29050782Is this a dbt certified take? I'd like to think so.
>>29051908literally who?
>>29051909People like them make the other 10% of californians look bad
>>29051909Am I the only Magafornian in /dbt/? Not a good look if I'm also the only socal poster with money
>>29051897Damn, kid, you're fucking stupid. You must have some dogshit losers for parents lmaoo.
>>29051917>Not a good look if I'm also the only socal poster with moneyYou dont even live here.
>>29051919?
>>29051917I could never live somewhere without snow. I don't know how you people do it.
>>29051917>"Yeah I'm a big money rider and I live in socal!!">posts a pic he got from googleOK
>>29051926I moved to a country without snow. Instead its too hot to ride 2 months in a year.
>>29051926>I could never live somewhere without snowlol ultimate cope. The same as>I like living where there's seasonsTranslation:>I cant afford to live any place with a nice climate because I made bad choices in life.
>>29051929Cringe
>>29051932??
>>29051926I was born here. I lived in a snowy area for a year or so with my wife, and it literally depressed the shit out of me. I wish I can enjoy gray weather, I really do and thought I could. >>29051927Thanks for the (You)>>29051921You live in a park? Lol
>>29051931I'm originally from the deep south. I chose to live somewhere cold. I love the cold and I love riding in the cold too.
>>29051938>I love riding in the cold too.NTA but at some point into the winter when it's 40 minutes of getting into 4 layers with heating wires for 2 hours ride, I just give up and wait until spring. I do have all the gear dialed in though.
I want to visit US and combine it with visiting all cool places on a bike. Let's say I plan three weeks vacation. Does it make financial sense to rent a bike? Or just buy one for cheap and throw it away after the trip? Can I buy a bike in the US, register it and ride it legally as a German?I always dreamed to cross your country on bike, see the mountains, falls and canyons.
>>29051940When I was looking into renting the bike around 2016, the prices were insane. Not a burger so can't say about legality.
>>29051938>got priced out of LouisianaYikes.
>>29051943>>29051932>>29051919>>29051883You sound mad.
>>29051940You'd probably need more time than 3 weeks to make it worth your while. Renting will not make sense, it's like 200/day. Add that to your lodging costs, and it will look stupid quick. You might even look at bringing your own bike, via freight. In any case, this will require a lot of preparation. And be realistic with how many miles you can put down per day.... For me, even over 600 miles in one day means very little time for sightseeing
>>29051947That's Chadfe I'm pretty sure. The dude in the OP. He used to live in the bay area but now is out in the desert I guess with only his ducati to his name lol
>>29051943You know it just makes you look like you're projecting when you freak out about anyone who likes things you don't. It makes it look like you're trying to justify something to yourself.>>29051939Oh I don't do any of that. I just wear some cold weather surplus gear when it's really cold out. If it's not under 20 I just wear shorts still. I really love the feeling of biting cold on my skin.
>>29051952>not under 20If those are °F. brother, do you even ride a bike? Or a car? Roads freeze over you know and 2 wheels aren't conducive to riding over ice.
>>29051958You would not believe how many times I have been told all of this.
>>29051962I would because it's a stupid thing to claim, much less to do.
>>29051963Well I do it every winter and have for quite some time. I have also been lectured about how dangerous it is and that's okay.
>>29051965>Well I do it every winterSo you say.
Did someone say winter riding?
>>29051969cafe racing isn't real ridinglet's see you do a 300km route at night on secondary roads
So we're just not talking about chadfe anymore? Is that it? Like that one chud son who everyone would rather forget exists?
>>29051851>statusWe dont know bros, and it wasnt a reckless drivong charges wtf? Maybe someone else got those not me>>29051969>winter ridingShould make the comic edit like this oneDude this trug is so awesome, like a camper unimog, throw the baik in the backenjoy the comic of when i saw it advertised earlier, lmao
>>29051971During winter or in general?
>>29051966Here's a photo of my old super cub parked in the snow after a ride. I also took it home after that.>>29051969Based
>>29051917>Proud MAGAT>Calling literally anyone low IQ
>>29051977>>Calling literally anyone low IQWhere did i do that
>>29051976Damn bro I thought we talked about bikes not bicycles.
>>29051979>>29051890
>>29051981I took that super cub places you would not believe. That thing got rode through snow, mud and sand all the time. I only got a bigger bike so I could do highway speeds easily. The snow tires on it are a perk though.
>>29051917>nu-glidelol
>>29051984>highway speedsMy idea of riding starts at 60mph.
>>29051987Do you do that in the winter too?
incase the thieves ripped out the ecu and wiring, how hard would it be to modify a modern ECU scooter to run with a carb?
>>29051989Biggest issue is getting the carb mounted.Now what you really should worry about is ignition if that shit is ECU controlled too.You can nigrig it to fire off a regular coil from a hall effect sensor like I've done with my bikes.
>>29051988Yes, as long as it's above water freezing temp and there was no rain that day.
>>29051982Not me, I think that's a faggot libtard also. Ted Cruz isn't perfect but he's a good little boy.
>>29051994if you get rain its not winter
>>29051994Based. I take mine out way colder than that but I also ride a lot slower than 60 most of the time when it's cold>>29051996Someone has never been to the midwest and it shows
>>29051997I literally live in the midwest
>>29051998And you've never seen it rain in the winter or snow when it's 50 degrees out?
>>29051996It doesn't show here in winter unless you go far north and up to mountain passes. It does get down to 25°F sometimes. I ride unless there's danger of ice somewhere along the route. Nobody uses the spiked tires here so weather agencies post updates daily. If there's ice on mountain passes - people just don't go even on cars.But it can also rain for two fucking months straight up downpour at 35°F and it's fucking miserable even on foot, to say nothing about riding a bike. Then I naturally don't ride and drink instead.
>>29051991yeah seems like a waste of effort might aswell just get a cheap old carbed scooter at that point, might be able to keep the CVT and engine for spare parts instead.I really wanna mod the scooter so that if someone tries to take it they really hurt themselfs, is there a way that can be done without impacting usability?I thought about glueing razorblades to points where youd pick it up and move it normally, but more then likely id just hurt myself with that eventually
>>29052003Hide explosives in the underseat storage compartment.
>>29052005im being seriousI always wanted to build some kind of mechanism to hurt thieving niggersAlso one time some boomer picked up my bike so he could park his SUV and then I got a ticket for parking on the walkway, i dont want faggots touching my bike
>>29052008How the fuck did a boomer lift it?You didn't lock the wheels and get a motion alarm disc lock?
So don't mention the name Chadfe, is what I'm getting from everyone's silence.Got it.
Am I stupid?There's supposed to be a lights switch above the start buttonAnd it has a high beams indicatorBut there's nothing there
>>29052018>get a motion alarm disc lockNTA but those suck fucking ass with false alarms and the only way to disable it is to unlock it and take out battery
>>29052018its a scooteryou can pick it up and carry it...
>>29052027I've only had it go off unintentionally when I forget it's there and I mess with the bike
>>29052027I thought about getting one of those but I just knew it'd go off from banging around in my trunk
I'm down to a Honda XR 150L vs. a Suzuki DR150, Mexican sold modelsthe Suzuki is $300 dollars more but has EFI and front ABSriding on 30% cobblestone (pic related), 60% paved, 10% gravel with rutsany thoughts?
>>29052028I mean I guess but they're still like 200 pounds with no convenient way to lift it from
>>29052029If you put cover on your bike it would act as a sail, when its windy it would wobble the bike a bit and that is enough to trigger the alarm. Hell even without cover, front wheel might wobble a bit.
>>29052035so am I but my friends that work out can still lift me
>>29052037Yeah but the weights way less equally distributed on a scooterUnless you meant pick up the front and drag it with the rear wheel on the ground
Hello thread, how cringe out of 10 is riding this?
>>29052044You better be doing globethrotting on this then its okay. In a city, it's cringe.
>>29051891I thought it was pulled hamstring or sciatica at first. But pain kept getting worse. I knew there was a spot on my L5 from last scan. They said it was slow growing. But IDGAF. That shit ain't gonna keep me down. Lots of people praying for me, Getting better, get to riding
>>29052044High finance dad that hardly sees his kids/10
>>29052054But it costs less than a CB1000
>>29052027>>29052036mine doesn't go off easy, actually it barely does anything
>>29051950You're the nobike I'm pretty sure. The faggot in every thread. You used to live in a shithole and you still do.
>>29051952>If it's not under 20 I just wear shorts still.Sure kid.
>>29052083It's an ohio thing
>>29052088Sure kid. On your ninja 250 right?
>>29052089Super cub. I posted a photo of it earlier. Though this year I have a bigger bike without the big fairings to protect the legs from the wind so I may be forced to wear pants.
>>29052080At that stage why don't you have landmine attached to it.
>>29052021Friend simulator ass nigga your imaginary friend ain't here
Rumor is this guy is dead.
>>29051808>>29051815Then why is there almost no market for affordable sports cars anymore? Why do regular people never go on a sunday drive in their affordable sportscar anymore? Or any car?
someone bake a good thread so i can post my bike.
>>29051903Now I'm a pretty chill guy. I just refuse to put respect on something that is functionally similar but is used for a fundamentally different reason. You're not part of my hobby, you're just poor. Which is fine, I've been poor before. Just don't act like something you're not.
>>29052146I don't own a scooter. I just think you're a faggot. Everyone thinks you're a faggot.

>>29050127Got a 1970s 2smoke Yamaha working. Guess I better get my endorsement.
Why this fully faired bike with V4 engine can have 215ps and a wet weight of 190kg, while your 48ps pisstwin naked with zero technology will weigh 210kg? It sounds like a conspiracy almost, to keep poorfags heads down.
>>29052159Why are you posting a picture from google instead of a photo of your ducatti?
>>29052153
>>29052135Bruh yes he is lol >>29052081And he posted his face like 2 days ago. Nobody seems to care. I just find it fascinating>>29052137I mean, can we really be surprised. Scrub keeps strapping on a camera and diving in the twisties. This shit isn't exactly a game>>29052141What are you talking about. They do all the time.
