helmets don't expire
body armor doesn't expire

Mountain passes!

>>28568102
Yeah if you don't ride more than 12 hours a year.

>>28568090
YOU FORGOT YOUR DEER HUGS?

>>28568107
I DIDN'T CATCH THAT. WHAT DID YOU SAY?

>>28568102
Post your helmet and body armor

>>28568099
would

>>28568102
Fact checked true by real American patriots

>>28568102
helmets most certainly do

>>28568110
?

>>28568123
Another milfag larper

>>28568116
Show me a source other than helmet salesman that corroborates their claim.
They've never even cited a study, they just pulled a number out of their ass and told you it was real

>>28568126
Just say you're poor

>>28568123
Why buy a cardo when you don't ride?

>>28568127
just say you're a retard
>n-no I swear, plastic expires in 3 years!
>what makes it expire? Umm... I don't know, but the guy selling me a new $1000 helmet said so

>>28568129
Grinder pics

>>28568129
I do ride, what are you talking about?

>>28568131
Post your bike and helmet

>>28568131
Not sure why this guy is so emotionally attached to the idea that helmets expire
You don’t need to tell yourself it’s expired to buy a new helmet, you can buy a new helmet just because you like the features, or the look, or you just want to

>>28568129
lol

>>28568134
Which bike?

My helmet will never expire, wouldn't trust the military issued vests to keep me from expiring due to lead poisoning.

>>28568133
>put 10-15k miles down in the past 15 years
Average of that is 12.5k over 15 years thats 833.33 repeating miles a year. I'm going to assume something on the low end and assume your average speed was ~35 mph.

After doing the math that puts you at 23 hours of riding a year.

>>28568144
are you confusing me with someone else?

>>28568145
I'm assuming you're the guy from last thread who was arguing about how his helmet won't expire and as proof he said he only put 10-15k miles on it. this guy >>28567274

>>28568147
no I was just shitting up the thread because I knew you guys would argue about it endlessly.
But I do agree that helmets absolutely don't expire. It's a plastic shell covering foam, neither of which "expire", unless maybe you store your helmet in an oven or something.

>>28568141
Immaculate taste with that guzzi

>>28568096 (OP)
I LOVE YOU HOMDA <3

this bike looks soooooo good

>>28568157
whoops forgot to attach the image haha

>>28568135
You don't ride

>>28568151
They wear with use like any other thing. Sunlight, heat, and oxygen are hell on plastic, and I doubt the shit our head secretes is good for the glue and shit on the inside. I would maybe trust a vintage helmet still in its packaging, but one thats been actually worn even with 0 crashes? Nah.

considering the price of good helmets, why has no one ever actually done a study to prove or disprove the expiration claims?

>>28568141
Typical hipster bikes

>>28568168
I ride at least five days a week to get to work :)

>>28568173
It would be time expensive, and you would also need to know for a fact that the manufacturer would continue to make that exact helmet 6+ years later.

You could personally do the study if you wanted. You would just need enough money to buy 3 helmets for every year after the expiration date you want to test, so 3 for 6 years, 6 if you intend to test at 7, 9 if you want to test at 8 years etc.

If you also want to account for "usage" as a variable, and not just keep 15 helmets in controlled storage, you're going to have to actively simulate helmet wear in triplicate.

>>28568156
thanks friend, I like my guzzi
>>28568174
okay

>>28568192
some org could just buy peoples used helmets to do the study, or even ask for donations. Even if you only get like 100-200 helmets, it would probably be enough to confirm or deny the plausibility of the expiration claim.

>>28568192
I should add, this would only apply to helmets made specifically like the one you tested. So if you tested carbon fiber helmets, the results may not apply to poly-carbonate helmets.

>>28568199
I think that the reliance on individuals to reliably give their riding data would severely limit results. Like the guy who commutes every day and the boomer who says he "rides hard" will have different amounts of wear.

>>28568200
you would also need shit to measure force and the jigs/machines used to consistently test impacts. It's not really something feasible for joe everyman, but would be for an org like snell or dot.
they won't because it wouldn't be in their best interest to have less helmets sold.

>>28568213
so?
get enough test data and it wouldn't matter. the bicycle study someone linked to before said they got over 1500 helmet donations, and they tossed out over 800 of them to obvious wear/damage, but that still left over 600 to get good data from.

the eps in cycling helmets is also directly exposed to sunlight and experiences a lot more sweat than motorcycle helmets do (although it likely also gets wicked away faster). Showing no substantial difference in a 26 year old shitass bike helmet makes me fairly confident that a motorcycle helmet probably isn't actually just expiring out of the blue because it got some "hair juice" on it.

>>28568216
I also wouldn't trust a study published by snell, and I do personally believe that helmets degrade over time.

>>28568217
Then do it. Go into the real world and talk to people and get this done if you think its so easy.

>>28568126
>>28568131
the insides of your helmet age, wear and tear, thats your helmet expiring, you spastic coon

>>28568173
because it would cut into the bottom line of so many companies they would hold it against whoever performs the study out of spite. think about it, a helmet is a form of armor. armor can rust and degrade if left in the ground or treated like shit like anything else but if taken care of and kept clean it can be reused for generations, you just need to mend the parts that wear out like the liner and visor but things are intentionally designed to not be repaired just replaced and look at that the new model that does the same shit happens to cost more and have nothing compatible with the old one who would have guessed

>>28568240
>the insides of your helmet age, wear and tear
prove it. I don't think it actually does to any meaningful degree, and the only study ever done about the topic seems to agree.

>>28568245
are you fucking retarded or have you never actually owned a helmet before?

>>28568180
No you don't

>>28568248
He's clearly trolling

>>28568250
not trolling at all
>>28568248
you can show me the wear on your helmet from use? go ahead then, do it. I'd love to see the deteriorated eps liner or visibly more brittle shell you dumb fuck.

>>28568249
Yes I do, here’s me offering my coworker a go after he told me in person he was a bit jealous that I ride to work every day and he wants a bike himself

>>28568252
Hungry lil troll

>>28568256
Post her

>>28568260
Fake n gay

>>28568252
literally every bit of safety gear "expires" after ~5 years. Race car harnesses, racing seats, helmets, pads, baby car seats, EVERYTHING "expires", and race orgs won't let you run it because it's "expired". Does it actually suddenly stop working? No, but they want to avoid liability if you die while using their shit. They also want you to keep replacing your perfectly good gear because it's how they stay in business.
convince the consumer his helmet isn't safe anymore and he'll be more than willing to shell out another $500+ to be safe. What's $500 compared to your life, right?

>>28568262
?

>>28568141
The VII Is such a nice bike, i'm Happy to see people enjoy guzzis outside of Italy

Price predictions? MSRP of a base Ninja 500 in the US is $5,299

Here’s the email I sent to my boss the day I bought my wife her new car. I planned this all in advance anticipating this conversation. The only vehicle I have to get to work is my motorcycle because my wife has to do things with our children.

>>28568272
Bad shop is bad

>>28568261
>>28568266
isn't it interesting how a polyster/nylon racing harness, carbon fiber seat, and eps helmet all have the exact same 5 year shelf life?
yet there's no such thing for normal car seat belts or car seats. why is that?

>>28568252
Shoei, RAID II
Internals starting to crack and flake

You're trying too hard. :)

>>28568277
Nice! My old gt air started to fall apart like that on the inside

>>28568270
>I can't refute his points therefor he is trolling!
show me anything at all that backs up the claim that these things that the companies have every reason to tell you expire actually expire. I'll wait.

>oh no anon, you're using that old thing? good heavens, that's not safe, just throw it out! Lucky for you, I have a brand new one right here that I can sell you.

@28568283
Keep up the obvious bait lil buddy. :)

>>28568277
anon that's paint. you're showing me peeling paint. the foam is still intact with no signs of cracking. was this actually an attempt? lmfao

>>28568269
The realised people are poorer and maybe $4k ish don't want it too low.

>>28568286
when in doubt, if you're losing an argument and can't think of anything else, just throw out ol reliable and call it bait.

>>28568288
so youre just being a faggot on purpose then?
very nice
I show you a failing helmet, used well beyond "expiry" date, you specifically asked for wear and tear, and even the exact thing you asked for isnt right

into the filter you got, shitskin

@28568290
Rent free. :p

>>28568291
>that
>failing
take out the liner and see how the paint underneath it is still perfectly fine. I also didn't know that a .1 micron layer of black paint is actually what protects your head, not the thick layer of eps foam

>>28568291
He has an Indian that got canceled. Ignore him

>>28568295
If that were the case he would actually ride his bike

@28568294

>>28568299
Not at all. It has low miles because its trash. Nobody bought them

>>28568306
Oil changes are a scam btw oil doesn't go bad.

>>28568310
This is what a crack looks like from a crashed helmet. Notice how even the 20 year old helmet doesn't have noticeable degradation beyond where there was actual impact?

You can send oil off to get it tested and actually verify wear, and there have been many studies that support oil wear.
Curiously, the ONLY places saying motorcycles expire are people that have something to gain from it.

today I had an absolute kino trip, and the 1600km engine break-in is complete. pic very rel

>>28568317
Yeah my tires? They're from 2006. Still good.

>>28568317
thats quite literally exactly the same as the top right of the other pic, retard

>>28568319
Again, you can both see visual wear (cracks in rubber) and there have been numerous studies supporting it.

>>28568325
Gas in my tank? I filled it up last time I rode last year. Should be fine.

>when I can't think of an actual argument, I'll just come up with random irrelevant shit that doesn't fit at all try to to prove my point
>>28568323
that's not even sort of similar lmao
one is peeling paint, the other is an actual crack that goes through the eps liner.

>>28568331
These brakes were fine when they came on the bike back in '94. Its the brake cabal that are trying to steal from me telling you otherwise.

>>28568333

Place looks super cool anon going over a dam Is something i want to do but when i had the chance the Road over It was Always close for maintenance
how are the roads up there in northern Europe? Well maintained and full of nice Scenic views?

isn't it interesting how a polyster/nylon racing harness, carbon fiber seat, and eps helmet all have the exact same 5 year shelf life?
yet there's no such thing for normal car seat belts or car seats. why is that? Why aren't you required by law to change our your seatbelt every 5 years if plastic magically expires 5 years on the dot?
still waiting for the helmet cabal to answer this one.

>>28568346
Still waiting to see your bike

>>28568342
what's the attempt here? you think I would randomly have multiple motorcycle helmets lying around without having a motorcycle? or is this just another last ditch effort to """win""" the argument? fucking moron

>>28568351
NTA, but I've been around long enough to not find it absurd.

>>28568346
seats and harnesses can often be recertified and helmet regulations typically allow the previous generations, depending on the organization
>Why aren't you required by law to change our your seatbelt every 5 years
if your state performs safety inspections then they typically check if your belts are fraying, in which case you will have to replace them
>car seats
also should be checked for rusted mounting bolts

>lets check in on /dbt/ today
>two threads of this
okay, see you guys in a few days

>>28568344
views are spectacular most everywhere, but the west coast and some places up north are really beautiful. Roads aren't super everywhere, and the most popular places tends to get griefed a lot by RVs

>>28568351
So, nobike

>>28568346
Racing equipment in particular is going to be subject to more abuse and to limit the liability of the organizing body of any motorsport event, 5 years is a set expiration date to force those who never check their harnesses for fraying, seats for cracking, to replace them and minimize the risk of equipment failure. For street/casual use, there's a market for this just-expired stuff.

can I get an ID on the bike?

>>28568361
I'll still be here (;

>>28568365
>For street/casual use, there's a market for this just-expired stuff.
most racers I know sell their old harnesses to motox/rallyx guys

KTM 390 Adventure. The WP could mean its a clone or just some weird aftermarket fender.

>>28568370
>>28568375
it's in Mexico, Chinese bikes are popular there
but I searched, it is what you guys said

>>28568369
I've never heard of motox in car terms but rallycross/autocross was what I was getting at.

wait nix this >>28568375
It actually says KTM 390 on the fucking side.

>>28568378
>>28568375
>>28568370
WP is on the forks for WP suspension, their supplier.

putting the helmet shit to rest:
replace it when you feel it won't protect your head anymore.
if you think that's 3-5 years, buy a new one in 3-5 years
if you think it's good until you crash, wait until you crash
now shut the fuck up and post motorcycles, not helmets.

Me personally? I buy clearance helmets and wear them until I want a new one. I bought a new old stock 2011 helmet in 2015 and still wear it today. I'm poor as shit, no chance I'm shelling out almost a grand every 5 years

>>28568379
sorry, meant autox, not motox
but yeah they sell harnesses and shit to guys that there's no safety nazi looking over your shit in order to race.

>>28568361

threadly reminder that anything under 1L is a moped
anything under 500cc is a bicycle

>>28568404
how do I pedal my moped if it doesn't have pedals?

>>28568398
R1000RRR or 1000RR, obviously the honda it has twice as many R's

>>28568407
Sounds like you’d need mo’ pedals

>>28568407
>No pedals on his moped
Clearly not a legendary Piaggio "si"

>>28568410
Honda had the RR moniker first. BMW lacks original ideas so they copied Honda (as most motorcycle manufacturers do)

Already talking to frens about riding to myrtle beach bike week next may. Its fun having biker buddies

>>28568407
Mo-Ped. If you don't have pedals then you have something in the same tax category.

>>28568434
I've never had a single other buddy with a bike :(

>>28568341
If they had released it literally one year earlier I'd probably be riding one instead of the R1250RS.

Why can't people park nicely and leave room for massive ADVs?

>>28568404
I don't mind this.
It means I don't have to pay registration charges and can use footpaths and bikeways.

Going to see a $2200 Super Sherpa tomorrow as a first bike - backup is a $2800 DRZ with some good mods (lowered seat etc).

Super Sherpa has approx 17k miles - anything I should specifically look for? Very well kept.

The DRZ has 12k - recent top work, mechanic owned. Not worried.


First bike! Very excited either way - I feel like the DRZ might be the "better" buy but I'm a small guy.

>>28568502
>$600 more for a 400cc bike
Is this going to be mostly a dirt bike? If not, I'd be jumping on that slightly heavier 400cc. Your ability to ride a taller bike is not fixed. That engine's displacement is.

Its so nice being able to see over the car in front of me at a stop light. Fuck every single SUV, truck, and minivan on the road.

>>28568512
Put put around town/local trails, probably. The DRZ is faster, obviously, but the Sherpa will apparently do 75-80: really all I need for short runs on the highway.

>>28568516

the whole point of it being referred to as a perfect storm is that it wouldnt happen to any other bike

Gotta be under 4600 for it to be a real category under the Ninja 500. It'd be sick if it were like 4400. That's super competitive pricing. But I have no idea. Fingers crossed for some better colors than the current silver / black with red/black with blue. I'm also hoping the styling will be less sharp and angular and busy than the current ninjas

>>28568522
Mmmmm, I am very tempted. I'll be seeing the Super Sherpa on Saturday - we'll see what my feeling is then.

>>28568530
Saw a funny comment comparing Janus bikes to billionaire submarines

>>28568544
A helmet made in the last 5 years (before expiration) would save someone in this instance

>>28568569
It won't help the rest of your body remaining intact.
Wear good gear and try not to need it.

>>28568530
I don't think that's what they meant by calling it a perfect storm. I think they were attempting to excuse the bike by saying everything else in the situation added up to the crash, not just the bike she was riding

>>28568571
quite literally any bike in the world that isnt a jANUS will be running different tyres with a proper tread pattern
quite literally ONLY jANUS are running those treads in 2025, so yes, only a jANUS could cause that crash

There are like 3-4 people with Guzzis in this thread.

>>28568530
He has some good points though. Janus is building bikes strait off a 1920's design and selling them to unsuspecting customers. Riders that are used to riding on motorcycles built with 100 years blood and engineering behind them. Nothing wrong with reproduction bikes but at least warn your customers.

>>28568627
fucking commie faggot

>>28568629
>Janus is building bikes strait off a 1920's design and selling them to unsuspecting customers
They have fuel injection, disc brakes, standard controls, front and rear suspension. They simply are not 1920s motorcycles. Many of which lack even front brakes.

>>28568627
I do my best to avoid the etsy coast anymore

>>28568634
My bad, so its even worse of a situation.

>>28568635
West coast* lol at that autocorrect

>>28568634
Sorry it’s actually pre 1940s tech plus disc brakes, the hydraglide came out with hydraulic forks in 1949 for example
Most disc brakes could still lock the wheels of motorcycles, so they were just as effective (for street use where they remained cool) as disc brakes. There are still bikes sold with drum brakes.

>>28568637
Yes, Janus is a stupid manufacturer that makes shitty bikes for dumb people. If you want an old looking bike buy a Classic 350, it manages to be cheaper, better, and more authentically old looking.

>>28568631
California anti-vandalism mod. Huge brain move.
>>28568639
The west is pretty good desu

>>28568640
I meant drum brakes could mostly lock the wheels, sorry but it should be clear by context anyway.
The things that Janus uses that are stuck in the past are frame geometry - the ancient cradle frame - and front suspension with a leading link.

>>28568644
Ehhh. I spent plenty of time over there. Not my favorite place to be stuck at

>>28568645
cradle frame is fine

>>28568648
Okay grandpa lets get you to bed

>>28568646
My home is VA, I can't see myself living anywhere else.

>>28568651
NTA but a cradle frame probably helps a bit by being heavier.

>>28568651
Have you even looked at the engine specs on the Janus bikes? Those tiny engines are not going to get you up to 70mph reliably even downhill, the frame geometry literally doesn't matter.

Hello vstronk senpai.

>>28568375
WP is white power. Sponsor of dbt for years now.

Funnily enough it is Indian not Chinese

>>28568550
One is goku other is Suzuki dealer one.

>>28568550
Female?
And I don't know if I'm a furry or Mexican or both.

>>28568656
Their 250 is fine, but she was the 450 model which can top out at 90mph on a flat road. Which is everywhere in the US

>>28568669
>I don't know if I'm a furry

>>28568669
>female
Yes

>>28568670
So what is it that causes the oscillation in the front tire? I've seen the old 60s/70s video which showed it and how leaning forward over the handlbars cancled it, so putting weight dampens it somehow.

>>28568678
>weight back
>acceleration lifting the front wheel
>grooved pavement + thin old fashioned tires that have hard straight lines that run down the tire not across

I would imagine the style of front suspension did not help.

>>28568678
Just remember:
>if a wobble you should feel
>clutch in and pop the wheel

>>28568678
>>28568682
What this anon said.
Also the bike style is 20/30's and I was looking at what tyre size they used on bikes at that time and they are basically high speed bicycle tyres.

>>28568688
>bronco
Ghey

>>28568695
What do you dislike about them

>>28568697
they circled the problem on the grill

>>28568678
>handlebar turns left quicker than suspension can handle
>initiates a counter turn, making the wheel go right
>suspension sucks so it goes right fast, repeating the cycle
>you eat shit and die
It’s basically a suspension problem
If you weight the front it makes it harder for the wheel to turn

>>28568698
What do you drive instead?

>>28568700
why does that matter?
what your not driving is one due to it needing it's second engine under warranty.

>>28568666
who is this man?

>>28568703
I’ve heard nothing but good things about the 2.7 eco boost v6. Do you personally know someone who has had to have an engine replaced? What is the common failure point in the engine?

>>28568697
>factory rub
Lulz

>>28568704
Some navy guy

>>28568706
The 2.7 is becoming a trouble maker. Apparently valves are made from cheese and like to crack and fall into the combustion chamber, which is big sad. they're going thorough a class action right now over it.

>>28568706
Once heard nothing but bad things about that laughably bad engine. Gtfo outta here shill

>>28568712
Wasn’t the valve issue just with a couple of specific years

>>28568706
I've heard nothing but bad things about that laughably bad engine. Gtfo outta here shill

>>28568716
Now you just sound like a sour grapes kid

>>28568718
As recent as 2024.
Seems as though ford issued a recall and extended warranty's but still you're out of 80k truck for 6 weeks.

>>28568720
They rub from factory and have ifs. Absolutely trash for offroad

>>28568723
That extended warranty looks pretty nice, 10 years or 150k miles

>>28568725

>muh solid front axel

Okay, what off-roading trails have you done that was impossible with IFS

>went today to check something with the insurance overlords
>security guy at the entrance even checked if i was carrying a gun
>like nigga wtf will i gain if i shoot up the insurance place

>>28568550
I used to have two, but i gave one to my fren alongside the fz6 cause the baby blue matched the gulf blue paintjob perfectly
But i also lost a few keychains like my banana bunny and txtmewhenugethome acrylic one

>>28568712
What the fucking fuck ford, what is this stupid fucking companys problem, have they made a single good vehicle at this point that wasnt a model t ffs?
Between the 7.3 idinto powersmoke, took em until the 6.7 and a few years after to make a halfway decent diesel ffs

>>28568740

You don't offroad. We get it

When ya have to walk back from your Ford it's
Driver Returns On Foot

>>28568748
I thibk if i had to compromise between the big 3 american autos i am gonna lean towards GMC/cheby rn because of their almost billion into R&D that was announced and coupled with the potential for 2026+ to be uncucked from epa, california and emmissions jannoids; iirc there was a bill recently passed that btfo californias dictatorship shitshow policies regulating the entirety of the federal union outside their gay state
Idk maybe its a nothingburger, probably, im just waiting to see as it were i have nothing to lose and no investments

yeah but whatabout pontiac guys!!!

>>28568746
it just sounds like the chatter of a bunch of pessimistic kids who parrot the memes they read on 4chan as they’ve no opinions of their own on account of owning nothing of their own around which to form first-hand anecdotes

>>28568660
Fully digital dash isn’t my favorite but I do appreciate bits and pieces of it
I like blue LCD instead of yellow and how the tach starts at 2K even though it idles at 1.4K. Sign of the times and how Yamaha was campaigning on their (fake) 17k rpm 600 lol

I want to build a Harley FXR, but Victory bikes are so cheap. I think it would be fun to ride around one of those corny "custom chopper" WCC type things that barely cost $5k.

>>28568764
Cool. Let's see your sweet 4wd

>>28568770
Enjoy that bike they stopped making bro

>>28568776
?

>>28568757
It’s big two these days if we’re being honest, Chrysler has one name plate, jeep might as well have one, dodge SHOULD have zero the way they’re treating what they do have…
I’m a Chevy man myself, but I think ford is really a close second. Very close.

>>28568781
I like my jeep

>>28568783
Im glad you’re enjoying your vehicle, but that doesn’t mean stellantis is doing well

>>28568785
Idc. I'm not a shareholder

>>28568786

>>28568740
glad to see you are still alive shooms

>>28568781
I wish i could find more cummins 6.7 motors in other 1 tons because fuck dodge brothers
I dislike duramax and v8 in general, must be because inline 6 was the chosen sneed when everyone got together and said fuck you to each other

Ive also thought about the possibility of how you can still order modernized older legacy engines but id have no fucking clie where to begin for frame up custom build to make the trugg i need to do shit with rather than fork out 120k+tip and 6.9247% apr+tip for all the bells and whistles+tip
Why do 1 tons neeeeeeed to have sunroofs and massage seats, youre a fucking blue collar slave, get over it you fucker

Idk if i was forced to go dodge for muh turbo cums then id probably settle for a 2008 or 2012 ram3500, but theyre gettin old and parts are getting harder to come by it seems

>>28568672
But anon the implication of a penids makes it hotter

Mac was right. My god, Mac was right all along.

>>28568613
Are parts for the DRZ400 relatively cheap (in the real world, not reddit)?

Also, what kinda speed can you really cruise at with them?

>>28568804
>are the parts cheap?
kind of, it's a well made bike so it can be a shocker sometimes. The aftermarket is biggg on them so you usually have options if something's too much.
>how it cruise
depends how much you weigh.
65 is comfy for me.

>go to the bike thread on the car dominated board
>peak riding season
>they're talking about cars
this place sucks

>don't ride for a few years
>get fat
>can't fit gear
>can't ride until I lose weight or buy more gear

Wageslaving really has been tough; mfs just quitting left and right. Sorry to all the bros that I haven’t replied to (shooms, spookyanon, bimmerbro, rcfam)

Guy is offering to hold it for me for a month if I pay $3000, worth?

>>28568631
Lick the Walton's boots harder.

>>28568906
Salvage title?

>>28568906
Dbt is genuinely so retarded these days I can only pray that this is a joke poking fun at the seller

>>28568889

>>28568906
shits worth a six pack

>>28568919
legit disrespect

>>28568774
I'm not the one shitting on everything like the epitome of fox and the sour grapes. I've had a 4x4 f150, a jeep, and a bronco and they all get you anywhere you want to go if you know what you're doing. I'm also not poor such that I have the luxury of getting what I want when I want so if I ended up not liking something I could get something else at my pleasure. I think the next thing I'll get just out of curiosity is a ineos grenadier.

>>28568918
no keys either? shame.. really a shame. you could probably trade it for a speck of fentanyl or whatever

>>28568931
wtf are you getting to? theyre all 4x4

>>28568931
>ineos grenadier
QRD? I've been seeing them everywhere. The first one I saw, I thought it was some grey market import.

>>28568945
Modernish take on a real replacement for the Land Rover defender

>>28568824
>get fat
why

>>28568935
My point is saying x or y sucks is lowbrow behavior. Everything is a compromise and trade off. Get something you enjoy or that gets you where you want to go. If you don’t like it then get something else.

Also, to stay on thread theme, for off-road on 2 wheels I have a 701 enduro (among other motorcycles).

What's up dbt? What are we triggered about tonight?

>>28568977
literally fucking helmet nerds today

>>28568977
Im loading all the pics from my phone onto my PC so now I'm gonna have more pics to pull from
it's gonna be crazy bro

>>28568977
I’m triggered that Yamaha stopped making the wr250

>>28568972
based huskey but how can it even be compared to a 4x4 2 ton cage. unfair match bro...

>>28568977
everyone is being a nigger

>>28553252
>rip450
>fathog 14zxr now shoomloring
Damn bro, that 450 did not vibe with that last long haul you had. Still can’t wrap my head around how an axle swap ended up mogging you this hard desu. Been lurking and the fat hog lore dump’s been kino. Not gonna lie though, mad props for having the stones to make that kind of jump brodie
>>28568977
Not enough beer bought, unironically.
>>28553540
Thought you went full ghost on us for a year there, man. Good to see you still kicking around
>>28568914
Bro we gotta hit the water soon, it’s been way too damn long

>>28568981
Fuzzy helmet fags?

>>28568984
Which anon are you

>>28568987
Yeah, Yamaha are fags. They do gay things. They cancelled the R6 and marketed the R7 as an upgrade. If you watched the commercials, it's clear they were marketing it towards tik tok attention whores. Good in the short term for them, we'll see how it plays out long term.

>>28569004
I quit drinking beer a long time ago. Makes me fat. Red wine is my jam.

>>28569021
>Which anon are you
Starts with an F ends with a Z6

>>28568967
Because I'm retarded

>>28569025
Oh hey buddy. What pics you got that you're transferring?

>>28569021
gives me a new idea to do /dbt/ garages as bake pics. not sure if yall fags agree with it since this board is filled with sensitive ahh twinks

>>28569035
a lot of pictures from here mostly, but some pictures that I took on my phone and never actually put up on my computer, which includes a lot of stuff from the R3 era

>>28569037
idea dismissed, not everyone is rocking a nice garage in this jewish cursed times

>>28569038
beautiful pic

>>28569021
>I quit drinking beer a long time ago. Makes me fat. Red wine is my jam.
>Makes me fat.
Oh I feel you king, beer bloats me like a hog too but at this point I’d rather just lift enough to earn it, beer’s too damn good.

>>28569037
I don't care if you use my garage pics. I'm totally fine with that.

>>28569038
Nice. So it's the R3 totally cooked from your friend wrecking it?

>>28569040
I'm very fortunate for my situation and wouldn't have been and to do it without my parents letting me use their land. If you have even a small garage for yourself, you're doing pretty alright in this kike infected land.

>>28569049
>Rather lift to earn it
I used to do that, but I don't have the time to spend 2+ hours in the gym every night anymore. Or the energy honestly. It's an hour and a half three nights a week now.

I just got back in the dark from going to town and picked up a Cardo Packtalk Edge today. Finally got to listen to the Gundam Stardust Memories OP like I've been wanting to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFvahMuwJTM

>>28569062
How much you shell out it for it? What size speakers did it come with? Is the 45mm jbl or bigger?

>>28569059
>So it's the R3 totally cooked from your friend wrecking it?
Most definitely, saw the frame cracked in multiple places. Don't really like talking about it, that was a shitty day and I'm just happy to have my friend alive and unharmed

>>28568931
Ill tell you what you cant afford; my hand in marriage because im not GAY
Can you buy a corvette and put a 4x4 land lift kit on it and go mudboggin for me instead of whatever you were thinking was cool? Guaranteed my idea is way cooler too

>>28568972
>get something you enjoy
But anon; i enjoy all the baiks but im not mr.Honda to have a factory shitting out millions of bikes for me to choose the one which actually had Kando™ off the assemblyline
Im CursedShoomerThubms™, i cant afford a diesel or any worthwhile investments and assets within the alberta oblast because the canadian economy is an eternal grift of laurentian faggotry by design
I cant even have a second amendment to change this conditions, absolute madlad has me comvinced im gonna do a hatchet run for the FrostBack Revolution of 2030: Dawn of the Igloo

>>28568977
>what are we triggered about tonight
Tomorrow i find out if i get my yoshi 4 to 1 exhoost, i left the monies with my neighbour guy and the seller is sending a ShoomerDelivery Courtesan™ since its coming from calgary and theyre headed to edmonton
But alas
Im stuck rigging in 1km of 206 gasline for this conoco frac
And suddenly the header had no pressure
>but who was supply gas?
We just dont fucking know man
Where did he come from wher did he go
Where did he go mr.natgas joe?

No but in thinking if i get days off after this hitch thats gonna be my last oppprtunity to shoom because the crf450rl is kill rn and i probably wont have time to diagnose, order parts if necessary, fix my rearwheel shitshow and balance it, and then contemplate the purxhase of the Studded Shoomer Special Roadglide Knobbies™ for riding in -40c winter conditions
If i manage to do all that, ill also be like another 2-3k in the hole for this stupid baik
Idk maybe im overreacting
Maybe i should just butcher the crf into a sacrifice, and transfer the front forks onto the zx14r and begin the baggerdaddy ultra ADV leaderbaik conversio experience™

>>28569059
absolutely tasteful

>>28569066
I'm not sure since Cycle Gear already put it into the helmet for me. It does say "Sound by JBL" on the box however, so I would assume so. I was going to get them for under $400 I think (before tax) because they were having a summer sale that shaved some of the price off. Still wound up going over though for a two year warranty, my thinking being that apart from my gaming headsets I have shit luck with high-priced audio equipment with well known names. I have better luck with the Skullcandy earbuds I get from the store, so If these shit the bed they'll replace them and do any further fiddling free of charge.

The audio seems a bit tinny which might be the nature of the beast, but I'm wondering if I need to fiddle with the sound settings just a bit. I'm not running it through the Cardo app, but maybe I should if it's anything like the iCue app for my headset.

>out of curiosity look up special limited anniversary edition version of my bike that was only sold for 1 year

Show me the ad where they deliberately say the R7 is an upgrade or replacement for the R6. I will wait. It's an upgrade for MT07 owners.

>>28569071
I'm sorry man, at least he's okay.

>>28569085
The audio quality is unbelievably mid for the price you pay, but that's really about as good as you get with the 45mm jbl. It's fine if you're going around town but if you get on the highway it's just not loud enough to really satisfy.

>>28569109
I'm not doing your homework for you.
I bet you also think just because it's not overtly admitted that, Israel has not usurped our government. Do you ever know how marketing works?
