Finally convinced my wife to head out to a parking lot with me so I can teach her to ride 2 wheels. My main goal is she sells her ryker for a real bike

>>28558160 (OP)Thanks for not including jewtube tracking links in the OP.
Guys in 10 days I'm flying to Minnesota to buy a 1978 GS1000 and ride it back to North Carolina. I'm excited. This is like my eighth motorcycle but legitimately might be the first one that I keep for many years if not the rest of my riding career. I've had a bunch and narrowed down exactly what I like. And don't worry your pearls are safe, I'm not going to cut it up into a cafe racer. The GS bikes don't cafe well with the height of the triple tree versus the tank.
my demands:
>kiss Onsa
>touch Onsa
>happy family with Onsa
>kids with Onsa
>>28558186That's exciting anon. I learned on a Honda 1979 CB750 Custom, my dad had a 1981 CB900, sounds like they're kind of similar. Fun bike and surprisingly powerful.

Okay folks one question. What's makes a better daily commuter? Bagger vs ADV. 50/50 burbs, highway time over a 40 minute drive.
Only buying used.
I'm thinking adv just so I can hop a curb and u turn out of ass fuck traffic
>>28558189She's Jewish, so funnily enough most of you (assuming you had power) Would never have her in existence due to bring brainwashed to hate an invisible boogieman planted in your brain from qataris
>>28558211ADV, youre sitting higher, gonna have way better view of traffic
>>28558211The water cooled one.
>>28558211which adv, which cruiser?
>>28558211There is no better bike for your use case than a Goldwing
>>28558211They're both pretty good I would imagine. ADV are pretty tall and heavy, so they're slightly more cumbersome at slow speeds, heavy traffic, small roads, etc. Baggers have that cruiser riding position that I frankly just can't get used to. I like my feet under me not in front.

>>28558235Yeah I wanna be pretty upright
>>28558238>Dunno just trying to spend no more than 5kWhy not just a regular naked bike?
>>28558241Wanna be comfy and haul bags of litter on the off occasion. Basically trying to replace the need for a second vehicle.
>>28558244Maybe a baby ADV like Versys 650? Big ADV like GS are kind of too big in my opinion, unless you live in Nebraska and want to go on highway tours or something.
>>28558244You're going to be spending close to $8k.
Find an ADV that has had a relatively recent redesign, and go for the prior model with luggage already equipped.
>>28558095I can't remember if there was a year split in the exhausts but I don't think there was. You should be fine.
I bought techspec tank grips. Had to heat gun mould them in place but they've stuck there fine for 2 years now.
After doing the cat delete, ECU tune, etc. All of that required pulling the header out.... I'm now thinking of pulling the header back off and modifying my header to be a single pipe. I like the look of the dual pipes, but the accessibility sucks for chain maintenance. I should have just done it 5 months ago when I had everything apart.

>>28558396They can make the standard shifting feel spongy, and if implemented incorrectly they can be absolute ass. Basically they're easy for a manufacturer to fuck up.

300-500cc bikes are not starter bikes.
They're an entire artificial class of motorcycles made solely to conform to EU regulations. Before that a middleweight 600cc+ motorcycle was considered perfectly adequate to start on.
I never even touched a motorcycle before I started to ride and had no issue getting a 650 as a first bike.
And because they're cucked by EU regulations those 300-500cc bikes aren't even light enough to be interesting. They're made for misinformed buyers and occasionally to get sold as high end bikes in third world markets.
>>28558428Back when 600s made like 50 horse? Even now int 650 can be a starter bike.
>>28558428>Noooo you can't just use a 300-500cc bike as a daily>ITS IMPOSSIBLE! REEEEE

>>28558428first, youre a retard, there were smaller CC bikes before EU regs
second, youre a retard, bigger bikes are much easier to ride than smaller bikes
third, youre a retard, smaller bikers are cheaper and let people experience riding without having to put in 10k
>>28558428CC is a meme and a nobike way to determine power for the most part.
And also I'm pretty sure the small displacement screamers were made because of JAPANESE tiered licensing.
>>28558439Yeah you can but why would you when a 650 is better in every single way?
My current bike is a 90s CB500 for what it's worth because it was the cheapest running bike I could find.
My post was a general rant about this class of motorcycles being characterized as 'beginner bikes' despite having no particular qualities as beginner bikes.
>>28558446And now they're being made because of Malaysian licensing iirc.
>>28558176Never owned or rode a busa, so can't hate on it.
Never cared to try it either.
>>28558426lets be real we all know she is padding that shit. Only black women have fat distribution to balloon their butts and that's with them being overweight.
>>28558446Tiered licensing is not beginner friendly. Getting people to start on gutless feather light bikes so they can kill themselves breathing on the throttle of the bike they'll actually want later (if they don't drop it right away)
>>28558442I'm talking specifically about natively A2-compliant bikes
>>28558448>better in every single wayyeah tell that to my MPG, faggot, you will NEVER get 90mph, fatty

Why are so many bike meets hosted at bars? Isn't that, like, promoting drinking and driving?
>>28558396No, they prevent you from clutchless shifting on your own, which is one of the most fun and rewarding parts of riding
If I wanted the clutch to work itself Iโd ride my scooter
>>28558489I ride like a jackass, with panniers full of unimportant stuff and rocks.
>>28558494Yes, but also, don't drink if you don't want to. Most of those joints are basically pub houses. Just get a good burger and fries.
>>28558494people are dumb
and girls hang out at bars
>>28558422What country? Looks like my homeland
>>28558494Do you know of some other kind of location? Shall we do the the DBT meetup at a Bed Bath and Beyond?
>>28558530nta, I wouldn't mind a meetup at

>>28558342>Honda Suzuki and BMWTranny bikes m8
>>28558535Are you 10 years old
>>28558535and the only difference between those and "bars" is the alcohol license.
Bars will be less family friendly which when you're out with adult friends can be nice. Also, some human beings are capable of this weird thing called self control.
I just drink out in the woods.

I became another casualty of society and got some soulless shitty corporate job where I sent emails and looked at excel spreadsheets in a cubicle all day. i was ready to blow my brains out and ended up quitting without having a job lined up.
all i want is to be a mechanic and fix and restore motorcycles or cars.
how can I do this without any experience? do I just go to a shop and ask to sweep the floors and change oil?
>people still bitch and whine about ABS brakes
>>28558620trust me working at a shop is nothing like what a youtube vid tells you. its hard af, pay aint that great unless you own your own shop and the customers might be a bunch of mfers depending on the type of bikes you work on.
my 2 cents, take advantage of the office job and wrench on the side as a hobby
>>28558620look and see if your community college has anything like what you want to do and sign up for a class
>>28558638Fuck me they're still so beautiful, and came out at an age where they're peak nostalgia for me. An 1198/848 could easily be one of the worst decisions I ever make.

Middleweight/light bikes are a Joy, i got my full A license on a sv650 and i am completely Happy with my small and light air cooled 350, i'm considering an upgrade but It Will be a newer 400-500cc bike and to be honest i wish there was more choice in that market but It looks like things are changing and Triumph unveiled yet another 400cc model

>>28558164If you don't own it, that doesn't matter.
If you do, sell it. Life is too short to ride what you do not enjoy.
>>28558186GS are basically immortal though I prefer the later (rectangular rocker box ends) because they use a screw and locknut for valve adjustment but you may never have to perform one so it would not concern me. Shims for yours are easy to find. Get the factory service manual if available but aftermarket will do.
https://www.thegsresources.com/ is easily the best GS site.
I installed a Dynojet kit on my (EPA lean as usual) carbs and though it's more hassle than pods it's best to keep the stock airbox. I put 30K miles on my '81 750E (engines swap but I didn't feel like tracking down a donor 1000).
I got mine with ~30K miles for 500 bucks (owner thought the top end was trashed because the carbs were dirty so I kept my mouth shut) and other than chain, sprockets and tires it needed nothing. They're a true ride-it-for-life machine if you don't have ghay GP race fantasies and work fine cross-country.
I wanna get a VFR and become a drifter, never living in any one place
>>28558211ADV. Baggers are bulky, heavy and even for this boomer pointless (I use G.I. crew bags and duffle bags which make nice back rests).
40 minutes is nothing so lighter and agile is quite enjoyable. I commuted on a Honda 250 which was perfect for Jersey City traffic (and had no problem crossing medians etc).
Heavy ADV are mostly for posers like the people who never take their trucks off-road but are generally easier to pick up than baggers. I don't get buying the most pigfat garbage barges since I've been cross-country on much lighter bikes.
>>28558327Not every bike burns inner thighs. Avoid generalizations.
>>28558338Eat fruit and veggies. I eat a lot of canned fruit (in water or juice) and am on opiate pain meds and diuretic heart meds but shit at least daily without issue. I keep frozen Gatorade bottles of water in my pack or wear my Camelbak in hot weather when riding.
>>28558489Metros (my bro bought his new) are so light and agile they're great commuters. Their engines are basically motorcycle powerplants and made by Suzuki. I've borrowed his and it fucking darts through urban traffic.
>>2855880298-01 gen and never look back, wayward nomad.
>>28558530Find a motorcycle event or museum or both.
Some have motorcycle campgrounds.
Taking a break at a rest area
>>28558552It's just a thumb so no need for it to work a clutch.
When I mangle a digit I replace the dressing then cover it with electrical tape. A strip of clean paper towel works as a dressing.
If sticking is a risk slap some Bacitracin on the wound then dress than wrap. You can leave a glove on the left hand to protect the injury. Bandaids a shit.
>>28558467One of dad's buddies had JOKER1 as his bike plate in the pre-cell phone era. Since it was easy to remember he'd get called in all the time from payphones cause he drove like an utter asshole. Lost his license for 7 years (initially 5, kept getting caught operating after revocation)
>>28558629>how can I do this without any experience? do I just go to a shop and ask to sweep the floors and change oil?Which country do you live in? That's relevant. I've been a mechanic for longer than I've held a drivers license but I made sure not to make wrenching bikes or cars a career. If you like to wrench and not starve to death join the Air Force (fixing drones, airlifters, fighters, helos or anything that flies) and ignore everything whiners whine about since everyone who leaves in your AFSC makes your promotion track easier. Ignore everything /k/ says because they're mostly young and dumb enough to think the Army is an acceptable career in other than unicorn specialties.
Your job is for money so you can buy land and lodging which makes the armed forces ideal due to air bases located where you have room to ride and cheap land. I planned my entire life for maximum financial freedom which fucking demands early retirement so you can still enjoy life for a while before age destroys everything and everyone you love. Working until 65 is fucking stupid so do whatever you must to win. I bought rural land zoned agricultural with cheap old homes I renovated. When I want another shop I order another High Cube one-trip container, hang a dehumidifier inside (power and light come after) and all my motorbikes and tools live free of dust and dirt daubers.
Freedom depends on location so if you enjoy riding avoid high COL areas completely.
Those places tend to have independent bike shops. I proved myself early and rented from my shop owner/mentor for several years before buying land then part-timed for fun. I've done that with cars too to expand my skills.
You are wildly unlikely to make a good living as a motorcycle or car mechanic (the car guys flee in droves for better jobs) but learning to wrench pays off stunningly well in DIY everything. I suggest taking a community college auto shop course as a basis for everything else.
>>28558629Wisdom.
>>28558673Facts.
One bit of advice that's pure win is buy tools before toys and the earlier the better no matter where you live including apartments and dorms. Tools get toys cheap but toys demand tools.
>>28558810Iโm unfortunately bound by having a girlfriend and the fact that drifting from job to job to sustain you isnโt easy unless youโre willing to do heavy labor
Maybe in another life or if she ever realizes she can do better
>>28558819Friends always tell me Iโm dumb for having a slightly obscured plate, feeling vindicated
>>28558832The VFR being a sport tour has 2 up in mind.
>>28558832Dual sport is the kino option. Buy waterproof duffelbag, saddlebags, etc. and then drift around the states. Stealth camp off-road somewhere. The second you start adding a bunch of weight to the VFR with the cases loaded up, it's gonna be an unwieldy hog.
>>28558467eyyy babygirl i'll give you a solid two inches, know what i'm sayin
>>28558826listen to this man. I cant make it any clearer than that. working as a mechanic is hard af and may destroy your passion for bikes if you take it as a living.

Don't eat at McDonald's near a high Jewish population though. After the blood letting of gentile children for their passover bread, they send the bodies to their slaughter houses and sell the meat to McDonald's mixed in with the ground beef.

>>28558979Did you even click the link I posted you knuckle dragger? I'm well aware. The inflation is just one cog of which they're grinding us up.
>>28558941>I really really value the extended top end that lets you get the fuck away from drivers that make you nervousBad excuse. You want a VFR, just because.
The DRZ I posted can hit 60 in 5 seconds and tops out around 100. It's simple to work on and gets decent fuel economy. It's not going to weigh 600lbs off-road.
DR650 would also be alright, but since you want to be a pavement princess and sleep in hotels/couch surf, go ahead and get your land yacht. A Viffer with cases would be a great bike to tour with if you had the money for a hotel every night.

Trump is continuing to fuck us with foreign aid, just a little less than Biden, and we get to stomach that we funded the final solution for Palestine and the kikes get to rest a top their fucking sand pit.
Don't get wrong, I don't want the Palestinians coming here, they're not white, but holy fuck it's evil what is happening and our tax dollars funded it.
I can't really fit groceries in my non-existent boxes so I just take the cage for groceries. I need a break from riding some days anyway.

I've been considering one for the last few months. only issue is I'd always end up as the driver.
Whatโs up geniusโs can someone tell me what Iโm paying for in regards for a visor
I want a new visor but they cost 80$
A Chinese made one that comes in a color they donโt offer is 40$ is there a safety concern regarding this or what
>>28558362>V-Rod Muscle with saddlebags.Never ridden one, from what I've heard they are hated on by Harley riders, but I'll let them speak, that could just be an autism thing because the engine is more modern. You could also consider a Yamaha Vmax. A couple anons here used to ride them, not sure if they're still around I've been gone for a while. They have yamaha reliability plus a sick V4 engine in a sort of hybrid UJM/naked/cruiser frame.
Time to make the radiator guard for the zx14 now.
Should have done this a long time ago, honestly.

Not that Iโd ever actually take up the nomadic lifestyle, the difficult to find a semi consistent income thing is the much harder part of the lifestyle
>>28559186It's all plastic bro, how much better is an OEM visor going to be from a rock?
>>28559186I found out that their international site has a smoked mirrored option so Iโll probably just use a mail forwarding company. W
>>28559200Also the prices in Japan for a regular visor is like 50$ vs 80$ so yeahโฆ
>>28559197Not all plastic is created equal. The OEM one has some sort of standard before it can be sold, otherwise people would sue the fuck out of them for a product that fails from intended use. The 40 dollar one is likely injection molded based on the cheapest stuff they can get their hands on from a company that won't exist in a week anyways.

You do you.How much can you get around avoiding interstates when you go from state to state? Not trying to be sarcastic just a genuine question.

>>28559220Ignore all the roads on here that are green, those are interstates. Everything else is the highways that existed before and all go through cities and have actual sights to see and shit on them. Many of them are also amazing and fun to ride.
Watch out though small towns on highways have assholes who will pull you over for having out of state tags because they have speeding ticket quotas.
>>28558795Yeah they're great. I spent 2023 and 2024 with a gs750. I'm on the GS resources. And I've got the factory service manual PDF thanks to bikecliff.

> Once again, I think this is just an autism thing and you're overthinking this.> Ok, so what? People passed you, why does that upset you? Because you're used to passing everyone at 100mph on the interstate, or?I donโt think Iโm not paranoid and that my fears are rather unfounded (afterall Iโve done plenty of miles like this and not had any incidents) but I find it a much calmer ride when I donโt have to live with my eyes in my mirrors 24/7. And itโs not that Iโm getting passed itโs that Iโm getting passed in erratic ways, like a rav4 slamming the brakes right behind me before gassing it past me at a 30mph speed differential or a civic cutting past me in my lane to make their exit. Ultimately nothing happens but itโs enough to give me a frown for the next couple miles.
> You can literally go anywhere without exceeding 55mph if the interstate scares you so much, anon. 'Avoid Highways' in Google Maps.My biggest issue with this has always been that it just puts me on shitty endless intersection stroads but I suppose thatโs just cause Iโm in a major city
>>28559236This is is a really cool map thank you, I didnโt realize how dense the old highways were outside of California, I always try and take them if I have the time but usually end up just erring towards getting places on time
>>28559253I think you should just take some rides for yourself, man. Go out exploring on your bike down some roads you've never gone. Like if you can get a weekday off, or maybe do like a 10 pm ride when there isn't really any traffic.

Has anyone here ridden with a sheepskin on the seat and is it comfy?
Need ideas on how to jack up a bike to change the tires. My floor jack doesnโt even begin to reach the bottom of the baseplate and I donโt have a garage or anything. Trying to come up with a decent solution so I donโt have to either spend 75-100 bucks on a new jack stand or have a dealership rip me off to change my tires
hey can someone explain why the fuck nobody replies to me when I send messages on fb marketplace? its like nobody actually wants to sell their bike, they just put it up for funsies. i've asked like 10 people about their gsxrs like basic questions, "do you have a service history", "can I see some pics of the fairing damage you mentioned", nobody even reads it. do people just want to see a number as first message?

>>28559309once rode my bike 3 hours away for a craigslist ad that was selling yoshimura socks for $5. As cheesy as this sounds, it wasnt about the socks, it was about the ride. I had a nice talk with the seller, then another biker came up since I was all geared up, and turned out those two guys were acquaintances, but they didnt know they both rode bikes, and the would be 5 minute exchange for yoshimura socks would turn in to 40 minutes of bike talk between 3 of us. Trip cost me maybe $100 because of breakfast, lunch, gas, and the $5 socks. Fond memory.

>>28559788theres some youtube vids on it, but if you move the helmet, does it move your skin or does it slide around your skin?
like, on your scalp and face
>>28559709just get a vespa
>>28559788Generally in the west we have two main shapes of helmet: the oval-head shape (for example AGV), and round-head shape (for example Shoei). If you have pressure points on your temples, it could be you are wearing an oval-head shape helmet as a round head, while if you have a pressure point on your forehead, it could mean you wear a round head helmet as an oval-head. Disregarding that, if you do this
>>28559811 your head should stay fixed to the liner but the liner moves a bit in the helmet. another test you can do (it is easier if someone else does it) is to push the back of your helmet and try to put your middle and index finger between the helmet and your forehead. If you can just jam the first/two phalanges between them it is usually fine. The fit of the helmet will get looser over time so it is advised to buy a helmet that is a pretty snug fit. Having a snug helmet is fine, having pressure points on the forehead, temples or back of the head is not.
