checkem

Oh shit, the same copy paste thread again, wow good thing you don't let anyone else make a thread, newfag.

>>28480789
lol this kid made like 100 threads in a row now

>>28480777 (OP)
>Si link.

>>28480789
what else do you want in the OP drake?
links to you washing out like the retard you are?

at least this guy calls it daily bike thread instead of the weeb retards that call it "ku" or "bai"

>>28480788
>my heckin frogs!
>>28480790
>my heckin youtubers!
>>28480797
kill yourself you desperate faggot

Craigslist, FB marketplace, or cycle trader?

>>28480804
in the order posted.

>>28480797
>dumbass types daily biek thread when searching
Yea better to have some 0 imagination copy paste thread every day for months lol
>>28480793
This guy is here literally 24/7 kek

>>28480798
it was like a day or 2

>>28480802
nah this guy just washed out on the on-ramp
the one that was in the emergency area didnt crash like a retard, and had a white bike

>>28480790

...do you even wrench?

>>28480813
Newfag

>>28480805
Why would you say cycle trader is worse than FB marketplace?

>hold on anons, I gotta take a dump mid-ride right now
>gotta layerdown

>>28480817
Considerably more difficult to harass sellers.

>>28480813
this guy gets it

>>28480814
maybe

>>28480815
I've been arguing this case with retards on general threads longer than you've been browsing this website you fucking faggot
If youre going to have a GENERAL THREAD for the purpose of discussing a GENERAL TOPIC you need it to be searchable for actual newfriends
This isnt some Kool Kids Klub that only the elite can know or find, it's a fucking thread for retarded autists to talk about a shared interest on the internet

If you need more content to get longer gameplay out of riding, consider motofishing

>>28480879
He made it his thread after he sharty party thing happened

>>28480867
it gets spicy every single time

To any new or current rider reading this right now—please, learn from my mistakes.
Be careful out there and let this be a wake-up call, You only get one life, and it can be gone in a snap .

I'm not condoning reckless riding—far from it. But at the end of the day, we know the truth: you can ride as fast or as wild as you want. No one’s stopping you… BUT YOU.
Just know this: there are consequences. I learned that the hard way.
When I slid into traffic, the gust from the Camry zipped past me—inches away—as I stared death in the face. In that frozen second, I felt a shock. A presence. Protection. I truly believe God saved me and gave me another chance to life — despite my dumbass
To everyone who commented “walk faster”, “you have no sense of urgency” … F you I was limping (gopro stabilization is so good you probably couldn't tell) and I nearly died. Everything happened so fast, yet somehow, it felt like slow motion. If you know, you know.
I get it. Riding a sport bike, or any type of bike is exhilarating — nothing compares. But ask yourself:
Is it worth dying? Losing a limb? Becoming a memory? No. But look I also understand, if even owning one of these piss missiles comes across your mind, and it manifests to your reality, we all know the consequences of what owning these motorcycles can have.
Cherish your life. This experience has humbled me deeply, and I’m just grateful to be alive to share it.
Stay safe on the street.
P.S. Please check your mental state before hopping on that bike. It might just save you. ….Oh….also, wear your proper gear - it's worth it, trust me.

>>28480881
i wonder if sharty is still a thing.

>>28480872
One listing was a baby BMW GS but it's on the other side of the state

My bike has been immortalized on Google maps, gobbless

>>28480904
I know where you live

>>28480910
I move every 7 months so make sure you come and visit before I leave again anon :*

Looks like he's back for more attention.
>>28480867

>>28480917
I will own a Gixxer one day

>>28480917
>I move every 7 months
...why?

Check this out: the passenger now gets a roomy platform for her ass

... And the groceries get a roomy box for their mass

The collapsible milk crate, and ESSENTIAL tux mod

Why do I feel depressed all of a sudden bros? I want to go ride but whenever I do I just do a circle around town get caught in traffic then go home. Why tf am I so lazy and dumb and antisocial rn this sucks

>>28480931
meh

>>28480936
Not enough sunlight, not enough exercise, not enough in-person socialization, not enough vitamins, not enough sleep, too much TikTok/reels/video games, or too much alcohol; in roughly that order of likelihood

Burnout go drink a redbull and rip some wheelies

>>28480943
I have money and everything I could want except a woman but don’t want a woman rn. Just been zoned tf out for weeks and dunno why. I’m not sad, just perpetually bored and paranoid.

Is this Tren-anon? If so, your balls shrunk and tren is making you paranoid.

>>28480950

Go cougar cruising.

>>28480920
Myself as well one day hopefully…
>>28480924
A mix of couch surfing and getting priced out. 7 months is just an average. My last place I was only at for 3 months, the place before that a full year. The place I’m at now is nice but I’ve gotta get out within the next 6 months.
Just the state of being a poorfag in an expensive place to live

>>28480959
stay strong

>>28480959
All I have is this...

>>28480955
homies probably depressed lotta wagies poor n rich alike both get depressed niggers just gotta go get laid or find change of scenery or sum maybe try a hooker anon or buy a buttplug

>>28480965

>>28480858
Damn, imagine the beer that could carry

>>28480963
stop posting my bike

>>28480965
I'm not poor like him, just unfuckable and unloved. Last three people I met at bike meets transitioned that were poorfags and 2 were anons from dbt.

>>28480858
I thought the 1250 were insanely huge, but the new 1300A is just a fucking Chevy Suburban on two wheels.

>>28480974
>Last three people I met at bike meets transitioned that were poorfags
they transitioned into richfags or they transitioned into the other thing

>>28480968

Women... They also have more CCs than me and not the breast kind. My bike is small please no bully.

>>28480977
post plug

>>28480977
When I'm in a solid goon sesh I sometimes fantasize about buying a butt plug to wear on my bike. I was really gay I would definitely be one of those assless chaps harley fags that ride in pride parades

>>28480990
>My bike is small
cute
>>28480989
of course

>>28480989
Why the fuck is it always guys on the super cruisers that are the weirdest dudes in the thread?

>>28480989
I bet that bike feels good with your buttplug anon. I hope you enjoy your now prolapsed anus. Wish I didnt have to read about your sexual encounters but thanks for the advice, I think I’ll just drink a redbull.

>>28480995
someone has to try and out-do the adv freaks

>>28480999
>Wish I didnt have to read about your sexual encounters but thanks for the advice
lol you made us read your sad sack boo hooo post fucking faggot

>>28480962
I’ll be good, I grew up sleeping on the floor eating off of food stamps. Despite not being a big earner I’m probably living the best I have in my life lol
Besides, I think being poor genuinely builds a lot of character. Most of my rich kid friends growing up never made a lot of great choices financially. I’m debt free with plenty in savings

>>28481003

>>28480999
trust me bro wen u find that woman trust me it’s like trying a well seasoned steak for da first time u aint nevaeva gunna wanna fuck vanilla again ol chocolate starfish need some attention

>>28480995
Liking the magna explains everything now. Damn, no wonder I have so many fetishes. Thank you >>28480989 I now need to get on tinder and fetlife after I find a magna to move up to.

>>28480999
Heed his advice and go fuck yourself, depresso. Your only other option is to ride no in between.

>>28480995
Super cruisers are the apex of masculinity, lots of power to play with but nothing to prove
There’s no lost manhood in touching your butt if you’re already sure of yourself

>>28481025
Every time you wipe down you touch your ass, constipated? Jam those fingers up in there and pull out those turds.

>>28481032
>r6
STOP

>>28480975
With all the extra BMW bags that can be added all over the 1300GSA its pretty clear BMW has accepted who their costumer is. The "regular" R1300GS is for everyone else.

>>28480787
kek, fuck women

Do you have a wingman? (the tent, not a partner!)
if not, why not?

Is the bike life really just about gooning and being depressed if you’re not an adv dad?

>>28481039
ayy
I do like GSs when they are barebones, I did like the one my dad had, but it's become a race to see who has the most kitted out, all option boxes ticked, givi and whatever the fuck extras, out boomer the other boomers.
Ex gf's dad was obsessed with them, he had a 750 and constantly drooled over full sized GSs. He rides like shit too, hated going on a trip with him.

>>28481091
brutal but we also have the track nerds, enduro fags and wrenchlets here

>>28481091
>>28481118
do NOT ask ninja650 anon how to change your oil filter

>>28481039
Your sense of scale might be a bit fucked.

>>28481119
God bless his heart lmao

>>28481091
I think I've never seen anyone depressed or unhappy with a Goldwing, that must be the final destination, simply doing miles and miles and miles on whatever bike but it's usually some Goldwing.

>>28481122
Sorry, I'm not sure I understand what your getting at?

>>28481151

>>28481122
Dude that thing is fucking huge lol

The surface texture of the official motgymkahana battlegrounds showdown center has changed. They like painted it black and flattened the little pebbles the surface was made from. It's very smooth but I get no feed back through the bars now and I feel like I have less grip so I'm scared to lean good. The tiny high frequency vibrations from going over the rougher surface made me feel better what do I do?

Proof that I rode, c'mon care

Not trying to end up like the ZX4 guy!

>>28481171
>the things i would do to her

I love riding bros

>>28481122
That's a dually 3500 isn't it? the town and country is not a small vehicle and the GS looks about it's size.

>>28481089
I can't think of a more uncomfortable trip

>>28481199
Yeah whenever guys wait before turning out so they don’t pull out in front of me I always give em a wave

>>28481208
yea pillions are only good for short rides

>>28481089
I camp with an air mattress, my joints aren't the same post 35.

>>28481263
i kneel.

>>28481089
reminds of shooms... i wonder where he is lol

>>28481089
Doesn't even pack up particularly small.
I saw it all packed up, and do these people think a tent is all I take with me when I go camping? It's basically an entire duffel bag just a small tent minus two trekking poles.

>>28480939
I don't get it

>>28481277
and you never will, faggot.

What's the best way to move a 79' shovelhead that hasn't ran since 1997?

Tow? Flatbed? Bribe crusierbros with a keg? It's gotta move 60 miles

>>28481274
Ya I was thinking that looks very over engineered. Like I could take a normal tent and a tarp for the bike and still be half the packed space and be more comfortable

>>28480936
what you need

is a new bike

>>28480931
have her ride the 300L with you :)

>>28481285
Bed of your truck.
I mean, you DO have a truck, right?

>>28480958
How do I do this

>>28481285
rent a cheap U-Haul motorcycle trailer, ie a car trailer that’s meant for hauling a motorcycle
They have a built in wheel chock

>>28481302
I have 3 trucks, all of which are not large enough to move the bike.
>>28481305
That's a good idea, do I need any fancy hitch for it?

>trips thread
>gooner vmax anon is back
>adventure chads
>enduro chads
>goldwing dads
This thread is blessed

>>28481316
You need a hitch, U-Haul can install one on your car if you don’t have one, installing o e yourself isn’t hard, they sell them at harbor freight

>>28481328
I don't wanna buy a hitch given I rarely tow

>>28481327
we all are blessed tonight brother

>>28481350
KYS

>>28480789
I like how the BMW link has been there for months

>>28481333
Rent a pickup from them then

>>28481274
That looks really bulky.

>>28481089
Because I have one of these instead.

>sports are uncomfortable and unforgiving for beginners
>sport tourers are a little more comfortable but heavy and pricey
>adventures are heavy and have a higher center of gravity
>nakeds are good all around but I hate how they look
I don't want to comprise

>>28481378
Every single naked bike ? All of them ?

what a mf

>>28481089
>>28481274
>>28481298
It's basically just an Australian style swag with an extra flap. The sleeping bag, ground sheet, and sleeping pad all roll into it. You can throw more shit in there like an inflatable pillow and sleeping bag liners, a change of clothes etc. The main benefit is quick setup/takedown. The price you pay is the huge bulk, hope you have big saddlebags.
>>28481292
The motor dates back to the TL1000. The VStrom was first made when ADVs were still in a weird place.

>>28481378
An R3 or Ninja 400 is a perfectly fine beginner bike. They're not murder to ride like an R6 was.

>>28481388
they all look like bugs or aliens, like MT-10s, Hornets, the naked GSX, Streetfighter, etc

>>28481407
The Hornet looks fine but you will kill yourself on a 1000. XSR series or Triumph Trident don't work for you?

What kind of dangle thing should I dangle from my bike? My old man had a furby keychain my sister gave him

>>28481410
sure they look alright but on the higher price range

>>28481221
A thicker foam pad is infinitely more comfortable than an air mattress.

>>28481407
…

>>28481089
Too expensive (I'm poor)

>>28481089
No I use a hammock and a tarp

>>28481423
Double wide too

>>28481407
Every manufacturer makes a sport heritage model, and than there’s stuff like the v7

Another close call bros but made it home in time. No stinky seat today.

>>28481159
it's a strange thread

>>28481450
bro see a doctor you almost shit yourself last week probably got cdiff if it smells like raw sewage

>>28481450
>>28481457
it is raw sewage

>>28481462
Mans got a point

>>28481462
yeah no shit, but cdiff is serious and you can always tell it’s that when it’s the classic “raw sewage and sulfur” smell not your ordinary stinky shit.
>>28481450
don’t fuck around if it smells like raw sewage 1000% cdiff infection you’ll wake up with a perforated bowel and you won’t ride your bike again not something to fuck with

>>28481457
This is not Clostridium Difficile, I’ve had IBS since I was in elementary school and it comes and goes. Just gotta switch up my diet again. C.diff is notoriously painful, and can immobilize you (at least from what my patients tell me). I would not be riding with C.diff kek

>>28481475
that’s super rare and only if you take antibiotics bro chill

>>28481475
If that's the case, anon definitely shouldn't fuck around. Back in 2014 my stepmother had a perforated bowel because of a misdiagnosed chrones and a the wrong medicine and it fucked her for life. She shouldn't even be alive. Dad's been riding one up ever since, when he get a moment away from changing her shit bags.

>>28481489
fucks sake I have health anxiety stop it

>>28481450
>no pain
>no gain

>>28481301
She doesn't like that one, I lost the exhaust shroud so it gets really hot

>>28481495
/HYB/

so Akra or yoshi
cp2
don’t want stoopid loud because of neighbor nuisance
but a little loud is good

>>28481393
Raha is cool as fuck

>>28481507
Decat akra on cp2 engines is wild ngl but loud af. You could consider firing her up at the end of the block too

>>28481507
The only option that isn't hellaciously loud for those bikes is something like a Delkevic 18". It hangs off the passenger peg instead of being tucked under.

>>28481507
Decat no muffler LV on the R7 was stupid fucking loud, only ran it at the track like this. Started it up at 5:30am since I was running late one day and people were certainly mad.

>>28481441
The V7 is so pretty.

>>28481486
Getting whole ass technique vibes

>>28481512
HYB

>>28481486
still should see a doctor
>>28481489
bowel perfs scare the shit out of me literally shitting out your intestines

why are R3 ergos so different from the other R models?

>>28481576
Wdym

>>28481576
It's for third world manlets

>>28481576
It's a beginner bike you dongus. You could ask the same thing about the Ninja 500 or the CBR300R/500R.

>The more I ride sport ish bikes the more I realize how ridiculously lörge the ZX-14 is. What's your turning radius, 30 yards?

Nah, that's the crazy thing. Center of gravity is so low and front wheel sweep is so wide that it turns tighter radius' than my other sport bikes.

>>28481607
Interesting.

>>28481576
because bikes like that only look sporty but are meant for every day use

>>28481441
Test rode one of these at an event recently. Absolutely delightful little bike. Worst gearbox I've ever used though, it feels like stamping on a pile of spaghetti

>>28481378
Cbr500r and ninja 400 are more comfortable desu and starters.
>Adv are heavy
That is only for the ones in the 600cc and up displacement.
>Nakeds=good allround
No. That entirely depends on what purpose they are made for, sport nakeds are completely different than anything build to look like classic bikes.
>>28481441
V7 is perfect as is. Too bad I'm broke and more of a honda guy.

>>28481633
It isn't a wet clutch, I wish they would use a wet clutch.

>>28481635
call me a pussy but even the 400cc adv bikes i feel heavy

>>28481644
If you just hate how high cg feels then sub 500cc sports bikes, cruisers and nake sports are really all there is.
Not much of a difference between 360lbs and low to mid 400s. But I still prefer lighter for other reasons.

>waiting for a turn
>it's a go straight and turning left lane
>in the leftmost part of the lane
>trucker blows past me in my own lane an inch from ripping my mirror off

>>28481652
This is why I should be allowed to carry RPG-7s for self defense on my bike.

>>28481644
You're not a pussy. All bikes are heavy nowadays

>>28481652
i swear some of them just dont deserve the right to be driving, not giving a single fuck if they kill someone or not is straight up psychopath behavior

>>28481630
>>28481605
so why are they not recommended when beginners are looking for bikes?

>>28481670
they are

>>28481670
The R3 and Ninja 400 quite literally are recommended you fucking dingbat. They're not in the same class as 600-1000cc supersport four cylinder monsters. Fuck it, buy the goddamn Gixxer 1000 and kill yourself immediately on it so I don't have to read your retarded fucking posts anymore.

>>28481679
why can't you be more polite to this gentleman?

>>28481644
Like the other guy said, It's all about center of gravity. Balancing a DR-Z400 with 12" of ground clearance is gonna feel heavier than balancing an R18 with 6".

>>28481688
lmao

How often do you change oil?

>>28481734
Every 3k miles

>>28481737
IYKYK

>>28481734
15 hours or so

First bike, new or used?

>>28481737
>>28481739
Oooh, where's this at?

>>28481734
Depends on the bike. I'm told I'm supposed to change it every 600 miles, but that's if you're doing crazy off roading. I feel comfortable stretching that to 1500-2000 miles of street.

>>28481748
Finances, rich or poor?

>>28481734
every 5000km. if we are talking about enduro/track bikes then every 8/10 hours of riding

>>28481734
when the oil change lamp comes on i just add more oil.

>>28481748
If you can afford new get something old(my suggestions - suzuki GS 500, kawasaki er5) for a season, sell it for almost the same amount of money you bought it for and then get whatever new bike you want.

Yes it sounds awkward but you want to adapt to manhandling a motorcycle without dropping it as well as getting some experience before you'll get anxious over scratching factory new paint.

The Harley M8 oil consumption spec is 1qt/1,500mi so every 7500mi I am changing the oil by default anyway. I'm just changing it out 1qt at a time.

wat about the filter

>>28481769
Oh yeah I need to do that every 3000mi or else the oil will get dirty right.

People ride anything here. Groms on 12" wheels can manage. Never met a truly awful road surface anywhere I've been in southern California. Get something with at least somewhat narrow bars for easier lane splitting.

And are we prepared to have a 3rd world infrastructure off?

>>28481970
Name a specific stretch of road. The 10, 210, 91, 215, 60, 74, 15, 57, 5, 405, 134, and more have all been fine for me. There's a small part of the 91 that is somehow wavy/washboard, but that's more of an annoyance than a hazard or safety issue.

So I know why buying Chinese bike isn't a good idea, so what about the Indians? Is RE also crap or are Chinese just so special in this?

RE is good now.
Bajaj makes the small capacity KTMs and the Triumph 400's, take that what you will.
TVS makes the small BMW'S and they are good curry sausages.
Jawa also makes more practical singles than RE.
BSA fancy KLRs

>>28481972
>And are we prepared to have a 3rd world infrastructure off?

No.

There is always work being done on the road and cars with a sidewall height of less than 6 inches will feel every bump in the road if not every rut left from a scrape as a fly by night attempt to level it. Asphalt so cheap it leaves potholes after the rain.

On some roads there are bridges but the connection between the road and the bridge is not level.
There are literally ramps on the road that you won't be able to see at speed. It seems nobody knows how to use a leveler anymore.

>>28481945
>stuck in traffic
>on a sport bike
That's how I know you're a low skill retard. Fits the bill for an R7 rider. Neither could be me.
>overheats
That's also a wrenchlet problem.
>can't ride

I would just get it over with and rope already if I was you. No need to suffer.

>>28481984
>There are literally ramps on the road that you won't be able to see at speed.
We got this one highway and at the top of this really long hill is a decent hump that if you don't know it's there it will buck you off your bike or send you airborne.

In my tropical hellhole after it rains we can get some potholes big enough to destroy truck tires, in some areas your riding line is whatever is left of the road or the footpath because the road is flooded with 1 metre deep holes that you can't see.

It never was like this, I still remember days were even if it flooded the road will still be good enough for a slammed JDM to use.

>>28481987
>I live in a village I've never seen a stoplight in my entire life

I almost lost it last weekend. I got a wobble in a turn I was going too fast entering.

I wanna learn how to wheelie but I don't wanna dump my bike. Do I just get a clapped out dual sport and go nuts?

When did small paraller twins become some popular?
>when manufacturers started putting them in every bike cuz they are cheap to make
>when manufacturers paid social media grifters to gaslight ppl into thinking its cool to ride smol ptwin
Was it on first point, 2nd point or between?

>>28482025
The MT07 came out over 10 years ago. It sounded better than 180° parallels, it was arguably an improvement in every way over its competitor, the SV650. Manufacturers caught on, as they like being able to reuse tooling. They're not so much cheap to make as they are easy to package and repackage. Very little frame footprint. Euro 5 and 6 discourage four cylinder engines. Various other factors. This shouldn't take much brain power to figure out.

>>28482025
2nd point mostly because emission standards destroyed I4 in the small capacity market.

>>28482029
I probably have bit skewed view into this whole thing because i live in climate where we can ride maybe 4 months a year, 5 to 6 if you bit psychotic.

>>28482036
Did you mean to reply to the "overheating" retardation guys?

how do you learn to turn faster?

>>28482036
I feel you bro

>>28482046
As in transition into/out of the corner, or hold more speed through it? Dirtbikes or track time are the answer to both.

I can’t decide between building/buying an electric minibike for a <2 mile commute to work or just getting a grom. On one hand I can ride my towns good and dedicated bike lanes but have to worry about not being legal and on the other hand I can’t decide between building/buying an electric minibike for a <2 mile commute to work or just getting a grom. On one hand I can ride my towns dedicated bike lanes, park at bike racks (paid parking everywhere here), and avoid plates/fees but I have to worry about not being legal. On the other hand it’s more expensive and honestly probably slower but I don’t have to worry about being illegal

>>28481994
The roads you describe aren't that hard of an issue to navigate. The issue is the speed of the traffic is greater than 100kmh for the condition of the road.

Wrong
The bike lanes and racks aren't for 50cc scooters and pit bikes with a speed faster than 30mph.
It's two miles you lazy fuck. Buy a 750w E-bike instead.

>>28482068

>>28482066
This I do agree with.

>>28482070
I know. It’s not legal to take in the bike lane but I can do it anyways and just hope I don’t get in trouble if I keep it at a reasonable speed. To my knowledge this is what everyone with these “scooters” do.

>>28480777 (OP)
Talk me into or out of getting into motorcycles.

I'm a 24yo guy and I just want a cafe racer for the looks. I drive a 2018 yaris and I know literally nothing about motorcycles other than the fact they look cool. I was thinking of getting a used jap motorcycle to get me started, and I only plan on using it for commuting.

>>28482085
Get a used RE, you will have enough power to keep up with traffic but not enough to kill yourself with.

>reccommending anything but a cruiser to a new rider
You can start out on an 1100 and in two weeks when you know how to ride, you aren't stuck on a wannabe race bike puking it's guts out on the highway

pretty much, but I LIKE IT

Not motorcycle related but I got a fucking Husqvarna chinkshit mower and a 14 year old H O N D A on some mad max shit still running. The huski is still being sold and I replaced all the gaskets, ignition coil , piece of shit still won't run for more than 5 mins. The Honda l, air filter strapped on with a bungee cord still runs and the whole thing is absolutely fucked.

Tldnr fuck anything that isn't a H O N D A

1 fucking pull

HONDA #1 fuck anything that isn't a Honda it is the purest brand. Everyday I wake up and operate all of my non-HONDAS I fucking regret it, meanwhile HONDA chads are enjoying life while I FUCKING DEVOTE MY TIME TO KEEPING NON-HONDAS WORKING

>>28482165
ive never ever worked on a mower engine before but if it happens after 5minutes of use i would say it probably has to do with compression or fuel delivery
