Thread 511345300

Why doesn't /pol/ have a motorcycle? A dual sport bike is only $1800.

>>511345300 (OP)
i had an uncle die on a bike and my dad lost an arm and a leg to a bike. pass, too many drunk spics on the road now.

>>511345300 (OP)
sounds like some chinese shit. Without knowing shit about bikes I would rather want something made by honda, yamaha or be it an old german military bike or something.

Then again, I just realized bikes are for faggots that like getting hit by cars (you people call them cagers - lmfao)

>>511345300 (OP)
I do.
But im in a wheelchair now because I do.
would love to ride again

>>511345300 (OP)
ACK!

>>511347726
>Russian
imagine my surprise

>>511345300 (OP)
Why would I want that when I could just stay inside all day and masturbate to cartoon women

>>511345300 (OP)
family would kill me if i did

Rebuilding my engine is going to cost more than the bike itself so im gonna part it out

Because I actually like to live. Traffic accidents of motorcycles are lethal compared to car accidents. You get no seatbelt, no airbag, no crumple zone.

>>511345300 (OP)
>why don't you kill yourself in a messy way
I think I would prefer not to

>>511345300 (OP)
It's not automatic, you don't want an annoying bike you have to shift like it's fucking 1975. Get a KTM or electric.

>>511347726
Riding a bike doesn't mean you have to do dumb shit. Retards will still want to pass even when traffic is already doing 75 smoothly. I only lane split if traffic is going under 35mph. Set that as a hard rule for whatever traffic is safe and comfortable to filter through. If traffic is moving just act as a normal car.

>>511345300 (OP)
Love bikes but would never take one on open road.

>>511345300 (OP)
I have 3, planning on getting a lot more But I don't consider myself a poltard.
>Chinese bike
I wouldn't buy one of those.

>>511345300 (OP)
I only buy Yamaha or Honda fren, and their only like $2,400 for a used dual sport in excellent condition.

>>511345300 (OP)
had the same bike for 10+ years and it's 30 year old, an aircooled bimmer, do all work myself, just slotted in a new (old) gearbox as mine had blown, I don't go for flashy it's basically standard but it does the job

>>511345300 (OP)
I have a bike. i ride it maybe 15-20 times a year and its a total waste. Im too lazy to list it and endure title paperwork to recuperate my money

>>511345300 (OP)

>>511345300 (OP)
>Why doesn't /pol/ have a motorcycle?
Because the area where I live became 90% Mexican.

>>511345300 (OP)
>Why doesn't /pol/ have a motorcycle?
because I don't want to donate my kidneys and I have a convertible
I get the wind in my hair and the vroom vrooms plus all the safety a car provides
meanwhile you have to put on 5 layers of goretex and a stuffy helmet where you hear nothing and feel nothing

>>511345300 (OP)
Motorcycles have been third world coded. If it isn't a Harley Davidson, I assume the rider is a jeet.

>>511345300 (OP)
I honestly don't see the appeal, the cargo capacity and protection from the elements a car provides are non negotiable.

Even if its a nice day and im not haulin crap, i can always roll the windows down and stick my arm out

>>511347726
was he riding in sandals?
really?

>>511345300 (OP)
>$1800
That's like a year's worth of salary for me. I'd rather walk.

You can but an old 6 cylinders Ford Ranger for like $800.

I haven't had 1800 dollars extra in a decade or longer
I just spent my last 9 dollars
We're back to 86 cents american

>>511345300 (OP)
The ebikes that are light and well built to ride on dead batteries are a better idea

I am well aware of my influence on your mind.

And my goal is only to serve the Lord Almighty.

>>511345300 (OP)
Wow. Is that road legal? I always thought that a honda supercub would be cool but they are kinda slow. I dont even know if you can take those on the freeway.

>>511348723
Electric would be cool cuz solar panel charge but it would probably take a week for an 80% charge

>>511345300 (OP)
I have a car
>>511345569

I value my life, I dont ride bikes

should I quit while I am ahead? It doesnt feel that dangerous riding it.

>>511345300 (OP)
aren't motorcycles planned obsolesce?
Like in japan don't they basically steal bikes to get parts to fix bikes.

>>511347726
simply don't do this?

>>511350763
the problem is that it isn't you, it's the drunk spic two lanes over that is going to cross traffic to smash you into the retaining wall

>>511345300 (OP)
Those Chinese dirt bikes are really fun to zoom around

>>511351050
ive only had like 2 retards veer into the bike lane. Neither were all that close to me, but enough that I wondered if they were sober. I think scooters are insulated for a lot of this because we stay in the bike lane where cars dont usually go.

because i saw a fugly bitch ride one and still got a boyfriend.

then i know it was just a retarded group of children waiting to turn into meat crayons for the road.

she had a jew hook nose, ugh.

ACKKKKK

ACKK!

>>511351183
>where cars dont usually go.
>usually
Just a matter of time

>>511350763
i gptd it and they said scooting is about 2-3 times as dangerous as car driving, whereas motorcycles are about 30 times as dangerous. I think I will be fine.

I do.

>>511348577
skill issue.

ideally you should only operate a vehicle if it's a guaranteed instant kill when you crash. disciplines you and avoids cripple path (bad end)

super cute but also she is retarded they make smaller motorcycles.

drunk spics are a menace in general but they mostly strike against parked cars hit & run. when they see a motorcycle they say "AI CHIHUAHUA EL MOTORCYCLO" and salute you like you're the fucking Pope. It's fucking chinaman to look out for

I don't want to lose my arms and legs to a drunk Karen at 2 in the afternoon.

>>511345300 (OP)
I do and I love it.

>>511345300 (OP)
I do but they are more like toys. Great for nice weather and if only you need to be somewhere. Day to day I’d rather take my truck or car.

>>511352717

Scooters are like fat girls, its all fun untill your friends catch you riding it.

>>511345569
>my dad lost an arm and a leg to a bike
but he didn't pay an arm and a leg for it, so really isn't it a win

>>511345300 (OP)
I want an electric quadricycle that is rated at 5,000-8,000 watts and can go 50-60 mph.
It would have tilting suspension like this tricycle.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3a0sSPOhb0
A fiat ATB chain driven differential.
CV joints
All wheel steering

It would be a 4x4 chain driven, all electric vehicle powered on a qs138 and a 72 volt 200 amp discharge battery all spec to be marine grade so it can drive through water.
My idea would cost roughly 6,000 dollars
2 grand for two differentials (front and rear) 2 grand on battery, 600 dollars for motor Suspension and steering linkage system would be another 1,000 and welding.

>>511345300 (OP)
before you post on 4cchan, you should check out some rekt threads.

>>511345300 (OP)
It costs like $2000 just to insure a bike for the summer here.

>>511348723
>Riding a bike doesn't mean you have to do dumb shit.
but, my friend, simply riding the bike IS the dumb shit of which you speak!

>>511347726
I love it when bike retards get life altering injuries. I guarantee this dumb faggot isn't driving around on a motorcycle anymore

>>511345569
My dad used race semi professionally. Raced at daytona before. He eventually got in a wreck, not while racing, and skidded along his back so bad he needed skin grafts. For years he'd still have little bits of grit and gravel work their way out of his skin. He stopped racing and started collecting and restoring instead but never stopped riding. You would not believe the number of cheap old motorcycles the old man owns. So many 1960s hondas. So many.

>>511354366
sounds like weak cunt speak

>>511345300 (OP)
I want one, but I can't afford a good one. I'm not buying some unreliable chinese shit bike.

>>511350763
if you wear proper protection the chances of being maimed is basically zero. Even something like just kneepads, elbowpads and an airbag vest will protect you a lot

>>511345300 (OP)
I make $120k a year from my salary and 90k per year from 2 side businesses. I'm not a nigger. I will never own a fucking motorcycle. My life is worth more than looking like a fucking retard on the highway.

>>511348723
I got a Honda DCT bike, it's the perfect chill ride.

>>511345300 (OP)
Word to the wise, only do this if you live around white people and always keep an eye out for non-white drives because they're either going to be incompetent or murderous.

>>511347614
>Without knowing shit about bikes I would rather want something made by honda, yamaha or be it an old german military bike or something.
and as a real motorbike rider, I agree with you. (you omitted quite a few reputable brands though, but I dont fault you for it)
forget any chink bike for now, but keep an eye on cfmoto, they might be ok to buy in a couple of years

>>511355258
>I got a Honda DCT bike
nc750x?

>>511355481
Rebel 1100, but the 750 is a great bike too. There are days I wish I had the integrated storage - I have a top box for storage when I need it but it ruins the look.

>>511356030
oh this is a nice bike, beautiful colour too
i cant afford this one, but im considering the 500 (it may be called different in the us, but here (morocco) there is a rebel 500 (no dct)
I am test riding it tomorrow

>>511345300 (OP)
Because I have a 20k diesel UTV.

>>511350763
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY-FiC0Y53c
my sister got one and i try to not think of it as much as possible.

>>511345300 (OP)
I only ride offroad. Canada is a third world country now. Too many sub 80 iq's on the road. It was bad enough dealing with the odd sub 100, but you could survive as long as you didn't do anything stupid.

>>511356265
Thanks friend
The 500 is a wonderful bike too. My only complaint about mine is the small gas tank but the 500 uses less fuel so I don't think that will trouble you. You are in for a treat.

>>511353393
Still less gay than a Harley somehow

Why dual sport if i managed to get 1982 GL500 Silverwing and 1983 Magna in Europe. Rare bikes over here

>>511345300 (OP)
I still have healthy legs, lungs and heart, I need no motor for my bike yet.
For everything requiring more I have two cars.

>>511350763
>>511352175
>>511351050
The statistics are misleading. If you exclude single-vehicle accidents, motorcycles are only slightly more dangerous than cars. Basically, it's really easy to kill yourself on a bike if you're stupid and reckless. If you are cautious and aware of your surroundings you will be fine.
You have to identify potential hazards and plan things like "What would I do to escape if that car pulled out in front of me?" It doesn't take long for this thought process to become automatic and then you just enjoy the ride.

>they make smaller motorcycles
Sometimes you don't want a smaller bike. Even when you're struggling, bikes are fun. And a lot of the cool bikes are big.
>t. 5'6" bought a tenere 700

Red-pill me on the different types of motorcycle.

>>511358971
the way i see it, motocyclist are no different than trannies.
you're free to fag it up but don't indoctrinate the kids into doing something that could put them in a lot of risk.

>>511345300 (OP)
Because I would be dead in 6 months if I had one. Imagine how fun it would be to split lanes going as fast possible on a busy freeway on your brand new Hayabusa. That is why I don’t have one

>>511345300 (OP)
>Why doesn't /pol/ have a motorcycle? A dual sport bike is only $1800.

I own the worlds best enduro, 8.5 gallons, 52 hp, 347 lbs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KTM_640_Adventure
300 mile range.

>>511364968
You can buy them for $5000.

>>511361342
a million types but basically avoid anything harley and anything sports and you'll be fine.

Buy a ducati and ride like the road is a racetrack and you'll die. Behave like a normal human being you will be fine.

Motorbikes aren't dangerous, but the sort of person who wants them usually is a moron and immediately stacks it. Ridden for ten years, never had even a scrape (Guzzi V7).

>>511350763
Wear a helmet. If you don't you're brown and retarded.

>>511353980
I like bikes like this, electric, top speed 70mph, 80 miles ish range. So like, city scooter but looks cool? New its like 10k but, I am intrigued by the idea

I have one and don't ride it because there are too many people on the road now where I live. I would ride if I lived in an unpopulated area again.

>>511345300 (OP)
When I was younger, I wanted a motorcycle badly. I’ve never been in a position to afford one once, and I’m definitely not now that I’m older. jew dent prison is real. I’ve always wanted a dog of my own too, but I don’t own any property where I could have one, and some little toy dog would be a gay waste of time, too. I wanted a dog I could have as a hiking buddy, but even that is a stretch on the finances. When one can barely afford rent and food, dreams die.

>>511348577
>No airbag
Okay boomer. Bike jackets have only had airbags for what, 10 years now?

>>511345300 (OP)
Every time I drive one of those I end up almost hitting retarded people who seem to freeze like a deer in the headlights, its like they are daring me to hit them and it drives me insane. I fell a few months ago because some idiot could not control his dog too.

>>511347614
I have this same bike. Its a knock off of a Honda back in the 90s. Lifan, hawk, x-pro there all the same manufacturers in China. 1800 and to ur door in the US. Thing is absolutely bullet proof. I use this as my trail rider and my gsx-r as my main piece road rider. I know the risk but it's so fucking fun and cheap. 50mpg dirt cheap insurance, can't beat it.

>>511365996
yes but they are basically pointless because most injuries occur to the limbs and head not your torso.

>>511361342
Anon, this guy is a retard, dont get a ducati unless you like paying for the 2500$ valve job every 10k miles. You are safe with any Jap bike they are all bullet proof.

>>511366269
the chinese were manufacturing these bikes for them anyways or most of the parts, its just not any different except in the styling.

>>511361342
get a 4 stroke, they are leisurely as in not revving their bollocks off when you ride them which after a few weeks will piss you off mightily, and they last longer between engine rebuilds.
