Idk what this is but my pants got tighter

I want to get one of these as my second bike because they are cheep and look fun, how bad are they?

>>28548105
all bikes are built in china and india nowadays, they're all equally shit, some just have premium branding
cfmoto has 2 year warranty while most other sport bikes have 1 year, so there's that

>>28548095
that wasnt me chief

Had a final ride out today, the third I've done and second of the year. I don't think I'll ever be at one bigger than this with over 120 bikes. It's quite a surreal feeling having so many people come together for one person, some who wouldn't have even known that person, united by the fact they all ride.

>>28548038 (OP)
>he glow

>>28548156
I thought about covering my bike in solas tape as a joke.

>what's your favorite part of getting caught in the rain?

NONE! fuck this trip went wrong on so many levels, spent 10 riding wet and the swiss fucking catfished me and the hotel i'm sleeping in Is a fucking old Mountain house with creaking floor and thin walls, i spent 4 hours drying my Gear and i know the whole floor Heard the fucking hairdryer going non stop like i'm a fucking
Asshole.
The only good thing Is the Beta chugged all this highway like nothing, completely ignoring the fact It ran without oil for a month and the mutant kept me on the Road while god was punishing me for trying to not be a Need and do something for once

THAT ASS

as a kingless American who do I have to dethrone to get a fuckin jdm 2smoke sportbike? Moto2 imports seems sketchy
I just want to smoke bros

Gave my leather boots the full spa treatment, scrub, soap and tallow to finish it off.
When all you've had before is synthetics, bringing a pair of leather boots back to mint condition with some elbow grease is very satisfying.

>>28548038 (OP)
folks imma be starting riding in september on a 125 but i will probably wanna move up to a bigger biike after a few months. is an sv650 too much of a jump or could i manage?

>>28548299
You’ll be fine

>>28548168
I have ridden through heavy storms and trust me it can always be worse.
Probably should leave some tips.
1. Don't use a hairdryer on gear as you can crack and destroy the material.
Drying leather jacket you just have to bane it and wear it in a warm environment. Boots, newspaper will suck all the water out.
2nd tip, next time have a change of clothes in a waterproof bag to wear after getting wet it improves morale soo much.

>>28548105
They're shit, enjoy waiting for parts for 2 months.

Just got back from riding with a friend & his MT07. He bought a whole headerback exhaust. Doesn't sound bad, a bit loud. Last time we rode he was still in break in & not as experienced, I didn't have to wait up so much this time. Enjoyable ride, nice day.

>>28548192
These people come up for me on YT all the time, i find them irritating but they go places that I want to know about, and the man's clueless British brain is the same as mine, so how he deals with things would help me on trips.

>>28548363
brother you need to decat your bike

>>28548365
It doesn't really bother me, bike doesn't need to be faster or louder.

My other bikes are now all stored and chained up. All I need to do is laundry, packing, and gas up before I hit the road for Sturgis in a few days!

>>28548386
I wish I could just do trips my entire life. I might be able to do a short weekend, probably in Wales this year, otherwise I have to wait until next year. Local roads just don't hit, at all now.

Please remember to come up with your own thready question! I was quite happy with the question I thought of

>changed engine oil and primary oil.
>gave it a quick wash
>went for an hour ride.
I hate stoners now. Ever since New Mexico legalized weed I smell it all the fucking time when riding, it’s easy to tell when you get behind a car full of people getting blazed. I used to just blame cellphones and Covid for making people shitty drivers but there must be a fuckton of stoned drivers too now in my area.

went up to tehachapi today, pretty chill and not that hot by the little airport despite it being august already

it's crazy to me watching motorcycle youtube videos that people mention bikes like the cbr650r, mt-07, and the r7 as beginner bikes. basically if you're riding anything less than a 1000cc bike you're an bitch and/or a child

Anons, I am now a wizard. What is the motorcycle equivalent to Shadowfax?

if you hate them enough before, and were vocal enough about it, those fucking subhumans wouldve never been given the ground they've got now

And what did I eat to celebrate this small victory against the ruling class? I feasted on a scrumptious Texas bacon lover whopper, halfsies fries and rings, and 8 piece chicken fries with a small diet Dr. Pepper. I hope you all had as good of a day as I did.

Rode my HONDA from PA to NYC and back today, my most common long ride, to see my FRIENDS who STILL live there

Road King air shocks fit Sportys. Use two washers between the shock and the bike for proper spacing. Took it to HD to have them air em up for free and they set them at 15psi. Bike rides so much better.

Good day of riding, hopefully I have time to do some webms or something in the future, it’s crazy how many great roads there are within a few hours of you in SoCal

>>28548648
Also the best way to do the fittings if you're running bags is a 1/8" npt 45 degree street elbow and a 1/8" npt tank valve.

>>28548616

I like riding in the rain desu
I have an Olympia suit that keeps me bone dry and it makes me feel like a real serious motorcyclist
Our family only has two vehicles, a minivan and a motorcycle, and my wife is usually doing things with the kids so she needs the minivan, therefore I must commute by bike no matter the weather
The only time I don’t ride is if it’s just snowed and everything is unplowed

>>28548663
And again, I recognize that bike.

Why can't Suzuki just move out of the way?

75%. But being Florida, that 75% could be some localized shower off in the horizon and it's usually in your path.

>>28548654
I live in the PNW. I just deal with it until there's standing water or it rains too hard for safe visibility, because otherwise I'd only ride five months a year.

Brother, you're telling me. But the road calls you. Besides, on a bike like that one you want to get off it every 50-75 miles to let the tinnitus subside and regain feeling to everything below the waist

Rode by the local motorcycle store today, saw the aftermath of this. They were having a demo day, so it may have been a nobike whiskey throttling himself into a truck, but that's speculation.

>>28548773
Oh no this hurts to see

I saw a V-Rod today. Insanely shiny. I am so mad the boomers let it die.

>>28548781
>rainbow flag
>bmw

Why would you go in such a place

>>28548781
Is that a gay bar lmaoo

>>28548786
The BMW is mine, the flag is not. This is the only designated bike parking lot for a mile in any direction and the cagie spots fill up quickly.

>>28548781
No love for the fucking Griso beside you?

>>28548768
i can't believe it

>why yes I accidentally take pictures of my BMW in front of gay bars


oookay

>>28548800
It's cool but it's hardly the first Moto Guzzi I've seen at this spot. I guess I know more about the history of the V-Rod.

Listen poorfag, youre NOT going to timeshare finance a smol bike, thats reserved for foolish displacelets who require their need for sneed equivalent of 5 influencers all riding the SAME BIKE
you can afford it

>>28548859
Better buy an R3 or MT-03

A bit mangled but it’s done the clutch feels so unbelievably light now it’s incredible, the bike feels like so much less of a hassle with this long ass clutch arm. So much easier to put down more miles

>there's only one Yamaha in top 10

It's joeover

>>28548884
Those sound like twink bikes.

Quadlock is the best bike mount yeah?

>>28548891
The clutch pull on the FZ6 is notoriously heavy, the longer clutch arm gives way more leverage and makes clutch pull so much less of a chore
I developed a habit of 3 finger clutch because I couldn’t pull it in otherwise and I might be able to get back to two finger clutch now

>>28548707
The wind cuts and sucks all the heat out of you, so be prepared for that.
Make sure you have a maintenance check over everyday, last thing you want is something horrible to happen.

Some girls prefer men who are straightforward.

Can you even imagine how many random people ask attractive females for a date? At first you have to build the connection.
Ask R3 how many people are trying to get her number and ride her motorcycle each day.

>>28549184
I don't have to imagine, girls love to share the info about the attention they get.
And some of them like men who approach them directly.

fuck everything. I almost want to dump the bike at my local mechanic with the parts I've collected and let them do it but I'm already deep enough on this I'm not saving any money for a very long time. I now understand why there are so many posts online of people planning to do this but none of the finished product.

Yeah, its just that everything is shut and I wont have time to smash it out midweek. I'll get some brass elbows and give it another go.

Listed my Moto Guzzi for sale. I've always wanted an MZ Baghira, it's basically a Yamaha Tenrere for special snowflakes.
I liked the looks of my Guzzi, but riding it just feels like nothing, doesn't spark any joy or emotion on me for some reason, whereas just kickstarting my Ural or Izh brings immense feel of euphoria for some reason.

Cue in next month if I manage to grab the MZ/Tenere and I end up hating it too.

Yamasisters, we lost Suzuka 8 hours. It wasn't fair anyway, fuck Honda's home track, but at least we mogged Suzukers

>>28549232
>MZ Baghira
looks cool ngl

>The DRZ400SM has recommended service intervals of 3,500 miles or 6,000 km, with oil changes every 12 months or 6,000 km

>>28549246
Thats fine, I change all my bikes at 5000km anyway.

>>28549244
Sure does, but not quite sure how those engines hold up.
I've heard discussion from both ends about early Teneres. Some say they can last a lifetime, others say they're quite finicky and brittle engines.
I don't like working on jap engines for one.
