/dbt/ bros its been a wild ride, but by the looks of it, we anglo menaces might be banned (by our govt) by sundown.

See you on the other side brothers, ride safe.

>>28534189 (OP)
Is hotwing still alive?

>>28534195
Goodspeed you bastards.

can we just admit modern bikes and the faring/headlights are ugly?

>>28534195
Ride safe, brother. remember, VPNs are always on your side.

heading to the local touge today. will try to cook my tendies as much as i can

Did you ride to work today, anons? I did.

>>28534224
Yeah but what specifically

>>28534203
how?

>>28534206
i really want to blame the LED industry. ever since the leds got introduced in the market we havent stop seeing literal alien looking bikes

>>28534208
I've tried two different "normie" VPNs and they'll let me browse but not post. Dunno how it's worked for other anons though, and I'm basically retarded when it comes to networking.

>>28534195
You too man stay safe out there. I’m already crossing my fingers it doesn’t actually go down but from what I heard... isn’t that law more about sites needing age verification so kids don’t access adult content/websites? If that’s the case then honestly fuck them kids, sounds like a decent trade-off to me.

>>28534189 (OP)
Disgusting, desperate, shameless 90 day reddit freak

>>28534243
recently at work they also blocked 4chan but i still manage to shit post text on one of those free vpns from the iphone app store. files still get blocked tho

>>28534195
Damn, F m8.
>>28534247
Kids should't be on the internet anyways.

>>28534195
Since this anon didn’t respond i will give context
>they’re going to ban any website that has porn, subject to strict age verification
I had thought they were banning motorcycles. They’re doing that too, but it takes effect in a few years.
I think you need to withdraw your government’s banning license, they’ve abused the privilege.

>>28534245
>lady

didnt read the rest

does anyone want to see my big penis

my petcock makes a pretty annoying sound most mornings, any ideas? It is very very loud and my neighbors have complained.

>>28534300
PRESENT IT.

>>28534243
gotta keep browsing. Don't go with the normiest VPNs, get creative with the nuttiest solutions you have.

Lower miles, Faster, cheaper to fix, and more comfortable
Or
Moderate milage, .1 seconds slower 0-60, less comfortable, but twice the soul and reliability

Which would you choose? I think I'm having a grass is always greener moment
>pic unrelated

>>28534324
What sound is it
is it only on mornings when its cold and does this cause problems starting?

>>28534327
I see how it is you wanna see a big Suzuki penis but no one wants to see a small Honda penis, this thread has a clear bias

>>28534227

>>28534339
>>28533842
Proof of Honda penis bias

>>28534336
It happens most mornings regardless of temperature. It seems to have no problems starting whatsoever, usually starts right up around sunrise. It sounds kind of like, “cock a doodle doo”, but very very loud. Picrel is my petcock, jimmy, making the noise.

As a LA non-native, I can state that none of this is true. There's state and national forests less than an hour from any part of LA so don't know what he's on.

>>28534382
>t. Riverside county but basically LA bro I promise we’re like practically in LA

>>28534382
It'd be nice to live in a state bordering Cali so I could go visit on long road trips on the weekends but not pay the fuckoff hueg taxes and housing rates.
How is Nevada and Oregon this time of year?

Call me a wrenchlet, skill issue or whatever, but I hate adjusting the carbs of my gucci.
I was thinking about grabbing a pair of those dellortos for my Urals, now I'm thinking about sticking Russian Pekar K68 carbs on the Moto Guzzi because they're such a simple and robust design.

>>28534429
Both of those also have exploded housing. Nevada is even more of a furnace and the pretty part of Oregon is constantly raining.

>>28534429
Oregon is an adventure to get *in* to California. Most of the border is mountains, or twisty 101 up the coast.

>>28534369
POST PICS

So, county road, no gate, cattle guard, no purple paint. Private easement or public road?

>>28534466
Ride it and find out.

>>28534404
the rain gods decided not to give us a nice day today at the local touge so we decided to go back home

>>28534466
Post it, I have a lot of GIS software resources from work I can take a look see

>>28534470
I'd rather not learn what pulling buck shut out of my back feels like.

>>28534473
County Rd 137, Cooke county, Texas, all the way up to the Red River.

I finally balanced the wheels on my 501 after simply dealing with the pogo sticking for a few years. It took 4oz on the front and 4.5oz in thr back but it's a night and day difference

>>28534404
Those are like 1% of what CA has though and just doing ACH or GMR over and over again gets boring. All the shit people think of when they say "oh man, if I lived in California I could ride to all these places!" - Big Sur like your pic, Yosemite, Joshua Tree, the Sierras, etc. - are 3+ hours from LA.

>>28534416
I grew up and lived most of my life in Hollywood and the Eastern SFV.

>>28534429
>>28534448
Oregon is nice but like that anon says you have to cross mountain ranges to get anywhere, not just CA but also getting from PDX or the Willamette Valley to the coast or anywhere East. I'm in Central Oregon now and it BTFOs CA in how easy it is to access a huge variety of riding locations, everything from desert canyons to lush rainforests to pristine mountain lakes to volcanic wasteland all within an hour or two, but the downside is that it's almost CA expensive and there are 5-6 months a year where riding is basically a lost cause, and if I actually want to go to other developed places (Portland, Eugene, anywhere in CA, etc.) it's a minimum of a 3 hour drive/ride through the mountains.

>>28534195
F to our bong brothers. Hopefully they figure out vpns.

from prime outlet blvd north all the properties alongside it are owned by a real estate developer called stark industries, i'd give them a ring, it looks like texas gates their GIS behind a paywall so i can't get you an immediate answer before i find out if my company has access, i'll ask our GIS coordinator when he's back tomorrow

>>28534520
>>28534482
I should add, theres a building at the following coordinates
33.696778, -97.151103
South of this building, its definitely in the public right of way. North of this point i'm not sure.

T7s MUST be one of the best selling motorcycles. I see an incredible amount of them and it's been out for 5
5 years. Like 10x more common than VFRs and cbrs already.
I feel like 15 years from now they're going to be crazy common and cheap.

Time to sell this bitch.

Make your bet, what % of the original price will I lose?

>>28534511
i want a niken so bad bros

>>28534535
Because out of dozens of bikes I've ridden this is the second one that produces vibrations that resonate with my body. I don't have arthritis yet, but if I keep riding this bitch I surely will in short order.

>>28534529
Apparently mt-07's are. I test rode one yesterday, a '25 model. Nice bikes for sure, but the new msrp is I think almost 9k? Seems a bit steep for what I was looking at considering for 1500 more you can get a premium bike in that weight class. Nothing wrong with it, but didn't really wow me either

>>28534540
i blame the gay retard dealers that wont let you take a proper test ride anymore

>>28534542
It was on me this time.
I pre-ordered the bike assuming it will be just like the previous model years only to fuck myself over. Who knew that new model year might come with new subtle changes in balancing or tuning or whatever.

Also, sometimes test rides restrictions are a result of insuring companies policies that forbid longer rides on demo vehicles.
Don't know the details, but that's what gay retard dealer told me today when I asked him to rent a different bike for a few hours.

Bros the cvo troonglide is real

>>28534564
Imagine the credit score.

How good is that jeetbike? Can't deny it's good looking

>>28534580
Mirrors are blurry, the gearbox is so smooth it's hard to feel gear shifting, the rear suspension is ass and noticeably wobbly at highways speeds, the right side is warm enough to be unpleasant but not hot enough to be concerning, the seat is plush and like any plush seat becomes unbearable on an hour+ ride.
Good bike overall, you can be happy with it if you accept its flaws.

>>28534552
What bike?

>>28534502
In the southern California area you have palomar, Malibu, Ojai (33), Idyllwild/Pines to Palms, more shit in San Diego county, and of course ACH, Azusa, and GMR. Any of these destinations is doable in a day, including getting back home. You also have Buttonwillow, Apex, Adam's, and Apple Valley Speedway. You're not just stuck on ACH/AFH.

>>28534573

Do you just not enjoy riding? That’s a perfectly reasonable amount of time for a day trip

>>28534591
I'll have to ride 500km to get to my parents a few times a year
First bike, low budget, 190cm. The easy option is a vstrom or cb500x but adv bikes are fugly, triumph 400x is out my budget (insurance poop themselves, it's too recent), guzzi v7 too big

Seriously considering a Stark Varg.
Talk me out of/into it.

Wife wanted a scooter. Now we get to ride together.

>>28534616
They seem neat but it's just so hard to tell how much actual ride time you get with electrics, and you don't want to be caught out 20 miles up a mountain with a dead battery

I’m going to fucking die if I live in this city any longer, every fucking day I get cut off by Hondas jumping lanes with no blinkers and absolutely zero predictability
I have a left turn at a light I take to get home, I sit as far right in the lane as possible to give the left turners from my right as much room to not fuck up as possible and they STILL CUT HALFWAY INTO MY LANE
GIVE ME PUBLIC TRANSIT SO THESE RETARDS WHO DONT WANT TO DRIVE CAN GET OFF THE FUCKING ROOOOOOAAAAAD

>>28534618
My wife wanted to ride but said she couldn't figure out how to shift. Whatever, at least we can ride together now

>>28534189 (OP)
Where do you guys leave your fairings when you stop at the store? I've just been taking them with me because I don't want them to get stolen but its a huge hassle very time

Should I buy my dream car, or should I give in and get an r6 and a trugg/rape van to haul it with?

>>28534627
Did you marry a retard

Who here has ridden the BDR and can tell me more about them?

>>28534645

If that were even a consideration I would be looking at cheaper toys.

I haven't even felt like riding since Monday

>>28534648
What about all in ETH and get all of the above

>>28534598
>>28534613
idk, 6 hours of shitty high-stress highway and traffic riding in a day just do do 2-3 hours of fun riding feels like a lot to me. Depends on your bike too though, maybe it's not bad on a comfy tourer or cruiser, 3 hours in a day is about as much as I can take on my dual sport (way less than that if I'm doing 70 on the highway the whole way too) and I'd imagine it's not much fun on a supersport either.

>>28534627
If shifting was the problem, why not one of the DCT Hondas or something?

Do you happen to know why?

>>28534641
>did you marry a woman
I don't know what to tell you bud. Most women don't 'get' shifting then pretend it's just because it's dumb and antiquated

>>28534662
She didn't know about those and thought the three wheels were cool. When someone in the safety course said they were automatic, she just fixated on that

rip samuel. you were a very special shit poster ngl

>>28534696

>>28534706
Not really. But she wants kids at least and she's not an idiot

>>28534721
>just another loveless marriage bro, you'll get kids you hate and a wife who will fight you on every aspect of raising them it'll work out bro just another divorced broken family bro it's the american dream bro trust me

>>28534727
It's none of those things though, who said anything about loveless?

>>28534721
Best of luck anon

>>28534591
>Mirrors blurry
Yes after 90kph.
>Gearbox is smooth
Yes and yeah sometimes you forget you changed gears.
>Rear suspension is ass
Oh god yes, you need to jack the pre load to stage 2 or get new ones.
>Wobble on the highway
Have not noticed it but Yankee highway probably.
>Right side warm
Both side can be hot if your riding position is off.
>Plush seat
Become painful after 5 hours of riding for me.
Good bikes though.

Live traffic and weather, not sure what else. The basic GPS/nav works without a subscription. We'll see, I'll post a review here since no one seems to know much about the device or service.
>>28534066
>$5/month in current year +13
just think of all the things I could buy with that.
- most of a small coffee
- a pack of gum (2 if i'm in a state with no tax)
- 30 minutes of basic service with your mother
>>28534138
This couldn't even run it's own operating system. I couldn't get far enough in to install Waze. You're right, it was 2GB, I didn't even think to check. My assumption was - if it's available for sale, it must work at at least a very basic, minimal level, which is all I needed. I don't think this phone is technically legal to sell, I found it's not fit for purpose.

Anywho, I cost Bezos some money by destroying all of the packaging for the phone, the phone case, and the motorcycle mount. and I kept the charging cable. then I got to bitch at Sandaljeep via live chat for a few minutes. I also took a stinky shit in the Whole Foods bathroom when I returned it. All in all, the experience was worth my while.

>>28534770
What bike you got and any pics of previous attempts?

>>28534770

>>28534778
im rc anon. the strapping game on this thing is kinda difficult. beach trips are sometimes a real challenge

>>28534778
just saw your reply bro. i really dont have any pics of my luggage attempts cus the attempts have been honestly embarrassing but im looking for an honest solution. cages or top boxes will never fit her look

>>28534787
I google to look at what the passenger grab handles look like and I would say you better off get a plate for the pillion seat and get a C/U shaped dufflebag.

>>28534794
really interesting solution bro. will definitely look into this

>>28534812
Most of the plates are for the 390 adventure, I have no idea if they will fit probably won't, but it would be easy to make one if you got shop skills.
That pic of the Oxford duffle you can see he is not using the passenger pegs and just tying it down around the tail, so that by itself should be fine for your 390.

>>28534749
why does it have to be no phone just wear an earbud under the helmet and leave it in your pocket. you can listen to some gay ass music too

is drz400 a good bike

>>28534787
I bought a Mustang bag and it looks like it could strap to your gay little bike pretty easy.

Do you guys know much about 4 cylinder bikes? This ignitor issue is killin me. I can swap wires so both coils are good. But only 1 coil is firing so only 2 cylinders are getting spark.

I'm like 98% confident wiring and grounds are good after redoing it all meaning it must be the ignitor at fault? I can't tell if its a bad signal generator or the ignitor itself and I don't think I have the correct tools to test for it. Continuity is good so its not the wires or connectors.

Is there a good/easy way to test the signal generator or the ignitor? Can I just splice into the working wire and have the 1 pushing both coils? I can't really conceptualize if that may result in the engine exploding somehow by forcing all 4 plugs to fire all the time.

>>28534898
JAP BIKES ARE RELIABLE BIGOT!!!

>>28534661
It's not 6 hours and the freeways really are not that bad, just get in the HOV lane and set your pace slightly faster than traffic. Splitting quickly becomes second nature. You're usually close to at least ONE nice road, so that's your home one. I forgot 18/38 and Ortega(74) as also pretty nice roads, but you have to pick the right time to not be absolutely bogged down in normgroid traffic. For me, I ride Idyllwild/243 a lot. It takes me maybe 20 minutes to get there. If someone invites me to another of the meme roads, I'll just get an early start and bring my rain jacket to ride home at night. Definitely comfier on a bigger bike with a fat seat and wind protection.

>>28534822
as long as it stays on place it should be fine

>>28534906
Yeah, tell me about it

>>28534787
Just get an 80L backpacking backpack

>>28534947
nice edit. The bike is mostly together again, the last thing to get it running should be fixing this spark issue. Is it the ignitor, or is it the signal gen? Ignitors are like $200 used, and I can't seem to find a replacement for a 4cylinder bike as a chinese generic unit.

Going through my 87 CBR1000F today, decided to start with the coolant. Completely dry except at the very bottom, but the hoses were still soft so we'll see what she'll do once I get it to start up. Clutch was dried out in the reservoir, but downstairs it was still wet. Posting pics for anyone that loves old bike gore.

>>28534962
Managed to get this cleaned out with electrical contact cleaner, but the corrosion on the inside of the reservoir is concerning. Considering pulling it completely apart and going at it with whatever kills aluminum oxide.

>>28534962
>Posting pics for anyone that loves old bike gore.
Is that a DBT thing? I haven't been here in years.

>>28534966
Unfortunately, the thermostat housing has extensive corrosion and will have to be replaced. Got a new thermostat on order, looking for a water pump as well. Seeing as all the coolant that was left came out brown, I'm pretty sure the impeller is toast.

>>28534898
Can’t into wiring, when I got my degree I failed circuits over the summer trying to bang it out ahead of time and then still got a C in the class
Ancient history, before the average grade was an A minus

>>28534969
Me either, but sometimes it's nice to take a break from your project and see just how messed up someone else's is. I've got an entire punchlist for this bike, but given the cost of ownership I'm happy to do the work. The temptation to drop $600 for a new set of plastics is pretty strong.

Are we fighting the 25 foot long dirtbike?

I think I'm starting to get it why I don't like this bike.
It feels too constricted by speed limits. The engine is extremely lively for a big boy V twin cruiser and you can just feel how it's itching to blast you down the road twice the speed limit.
It's an incredibly frustrating kind of feeling as a small blip of the throttle launches you, but you can't let loose with it because you'll end up losing your license.

dropped her for the first time today. forgot I can't park downhill and had the kickstand pop up on me while I was admiring the anime mobile. frame sliders have the only damage I can see though so that's nice

Is it a bad idea to chop up generic spade terminals to fit inside my regulator rectifier connector? I really dont want to wait a week for the connector kit to arrive because nothing is kept on the shelf in my stupid fucking city.

>>28535123
If thats your whip adjacent, bike deserved to fall

>>28535119
This is the exact reason I have a RE.
I could get something which can infinitely faster than it but I would lose my licence instantly.
It seems like a waste of money to me, like yeah I have a top speed of 240kph when can I do that? never.

>>28534925
It's probably a lot easier out where you are, judging by the roads/locations you mention. LA proper is a lot crazier on the roads, especially the last few years (I noticed a crazy increase in insane shit on the roads just through 2024, like shit I used to see weekly started happening every time I left the house) and everything is a lot further.
I was also really talking about the shit that I think out of state people are really imagining, the big state and national parks or whatever, and those are all far as fuck. I'm looking at trip times from my old house to famous places (and it's almost 11 so you probably wouldn't beat them during the day even with lane splitting) and it's 2:15 to Joshua Tree, 2:50 to Anza-Borrego, 4:08 to Death Valley, almost 6 hours to Big Sur, and that's all taking the boring freeway route. Yeah, there's some fun stuff locally, but if the idea is touring around and seeing the really spectacular stuff CA has to offer it's all multi-day trips if you actually want to enjoy it.

I sold mine but I miss it. They have such neutral steering it feels like you're just flying. Very quiet exhaust. Gauges look really nice. The gearbox is great, it feels very sloppy and loose compared to Japanese bikes but you can always shift without the clutch and it's super easy to rev match

Unpopular opinion: I welcome the addition of DCT and e clutch to modern bikes. I drove a manual car for years, it's annoying and dumb and unnecessary. My current bike has a normal clutch.

OK.

(Fine, I'm lying, there is one downside — a minority of riders have issues with protruding e-clutch, but afaik you need to be at least 185cm to be affected, so its more like an ergo issue than a tech issue)

I'm looking more at midsize ADVs. The vast majority of my riding is solo so it's too sketchy to get into really hard off road regardless of what bike I'm riding and I'm really realizing that I want a bike that's more touring-oriented (but still confident on rough forest roads etc.) because there's an absolute fuckton of cool stuff between 3 and 6 hours from me that I'd really like to ride to.

Transalp is the leading option right now, the combo of street performance, Honda reliability and dealer network, and relatively low seat height and center of gravity are hard to beat.

Vfr about 3k range, but you should buy the best one (98-01) instead of the cope one (anything else)

>no vtec, which if you like vtec cool. However the powerband on non-vtec vfrs is exceptionally smooth with torque everywhere while still retaining top end juice thanks to that V4 engine.
>Timeless design, ages like wine which I feel the 6th gen won't as the post modern design trends simmer down in time.
>throw a high can exhaust on and it's peak aesthetic

I strongly suggest one, no matter the vfr you invest in. Be sure to get one who's brake system wasn't neglected, they suck to bleed properly due to a hyper specfic factory bleeding procedure.

>>28536144

They're good for beating up. Just buy another engine for a couple hundred buckaroos and it's ready to rip again. I'll leave the old name brand stuff for the more serious people. Also they have some neat designs.

>>28536181
I'm gonna need some specfics, but in general they're a cakewalk.

I will not lie tho. The linked brakes SUCK to service from empty or dark fluid without a pro-bleeder air tool so if you value time and dont got the vacuum tools then outsource it. Aside from that and it being a bit tight to get to front spark plugs, she's a dream to wrench on. Very simple fairing removal process, single sided swing arm makes rear wheel/chain maintence a fucking cake walk, you also get a center stand on top of it all making it even easier to wrench.

Getting into the gear box isn't hard, annoying due to needing to remove the waterpump to get access but it's just a few more bolts and an o-ring, clutch work? Fucking easy. Coolant? Fucking easy thanks to the side radiators.

>>28535929
Godspeed I think I might take my chances with a 390 enduro even though they’re bajajish and heavy
That 40hp would be sweet

>>28536144
I haven't really paid attention to anything else, but the Kove 450 and Ibex 450 are basically the only bikes in their classes, and they're kinds of bikes that a lot of people have been asking for forever. It sucks because the Ibex is basically my ideal bike but I hate the way it looks and the idea of buying Chinese, and there's no dealer near me anyway.

>>28536129
The bike isn't the investment. I'm trying to maximize gains to have more for the bike.

>>28536201
sound actually good considering its a v4

>>28536202
I thought about a 390 too, the new ADV R looks good, but I think a twin with more power probably makes more sense and the KTM really isn't that much cheaper because Honda is apparently eating the tariffs and KTM isn't, which adds almost 1k to the price.

On that note I went to the dealer for some accessories (picked up tubes, spoons, and a little pump so I can at least TRY to fix a flat if I get one) and they just got their first '25 Alps in, I really like the look and sitting on it felt pretty good.

>>28536176

Check for

>verify you put the wheel bearings in the proper orientation. In the manual I believe it says right then left bearing but triple check that
>air in the brake system, if you didn't remove the caliper from the disc's to bleed then you'll have an air bubble trapped due to how long the linked brake lines are, ask me how I know lol
>if the brake system was neglected then it's highly likely calipers need rebuild.

And ik you didn't ask but put this in the notepad for later if your REAR wheel ever locks up from the most tiniest of rear brake taps then it's the FRONT secondary master clyinder SMC which hinges on the front left fork. Take it apart and VERY CAREFULLY REMOVE AND CLEAN THE GREEN FILTER. IF YOU BRAKE IT OR PUNCH A HOLE IN IT YOU CANT BUY A REPLACEMENT. YOU WILL BE FORCED TO BUY A WHOLE NEW SMC.

They have rebuild kits for the SMC, just no green filter. Also when taking the green filter apart make damn sure to put it back together how it came apart otherwise the little ball will block fluid

>>28536259
Front SMC, there are rebuild kits for these just no green filters. If you overtorque the hinge bolt it can seize up too due to binding.

>>28535811

>>28536259

Oh one more thing you can check is the return port inside the handlebar master clyinder for the front brakes. They're a >1mm hole so you need something thinner than a paperclip to poke into the hole behind the small anti-splash metal piece inside the MC.
