Daily beer thread?
Got me a brass monkey at the moment.
>tfw sick and can't go make a $3 brass monkey to drink the sick away
enduro a best nigga
Its $3.50 for the 40 in the first place, I wish I had your prices.
I'm just lucky I had OJ at home.
>tfw you have both in one baiku
They raised the prices a couple years ago. When I was a sophomore they were like $2.25.
We started buying them in cases from the beer store after they switched to plastic, 12 for like $22. Shit was cache
Did someone say beer?
Went out practicing figure 8's on my 500r today and on the way back my rear brakes gave out. I was like hory sheit then I looked up on google and saw I just boiled the rear brake fluid. Good times.
yep.
i was a little surprised at how little i saw of the drz out in utah. i think i saw two the whole trip
>boiled brake fluid
>ninja 500r (im assuming)
You sure about that champ?
lame
daily reminder that honda a shit
>Sumo suspension
Maybe for fire roads
Yes a ninja 500r. It was a hot day today and I was riding the rear brake like a mf'er to practice my low speed turns. Once I got back home the fluid cooled and my rear brakes were restored. I guess I better check my fluid levels tomorrow.
Check out my video, and like :)
youtube.com
So many Katooms
>sumo on this shit
that would be suffering
gotta ease up on the brakes m8, also flush it when you can since you cooked it already
For sure. I doubt the previous owner flushed it anyways so it's due.
Fuck off shill
It'll be fine. It's not like the SM suspension is anywhere close to a sport bike or something like that.
Anybody here eber crash into a wall at say 150k
did you die?
asking for reasons
Guys I made a long boring offroading video where I almost dump it 5 times at 10mph on street tires.
Is cycletrader a decent idea compared to craigslist? Or are they roughly the same? I just assume craigslist a shit because that's usually the case
Crashing into a wall is a very bad idea.
Is that a decal or painted on because it looks fucking amazing and I want it.
>not washing out when you hit the grass
Do you even meme?
Shoop, can't find a place that will cut me perforated vinyl that precisely.
When is Craigslist not just a opportunity for a pack of niggera to mug you?
but.is.it.lethal
Damn it, hard to tell on mobile. I wish it was real.
Of you are going 150mph, probably
>Youtube video stabilization
Stopped watching after like 3 seconds.
could be done with sharpie by an IRL artist.
vinyl sucks ass to weed you couldn't get an aspie on adderall to weed an image that precise, but I can't imagine why a custom wrap company couldn't do that for you.
>mph
#cant
Yeah, watching it for the first time with that right now. Turned it off.
>can't.
I mean anything over 70 into a wall without a helmet will absolutely #rekt you
Sharpie on black plastic?
I'm talking like 3M vehicle wrap vinyl custom printed.
1. paint white with appropriate paint (I'd have to research)
2. do art in sharpie or paint pen
3. clearcoat
but yeah, 3M vehicle wrap should be able to do that unless there is a resolution issue I'm unaware of- it seems like wraps are pretty detailed, so idk why it would be a problem
>l without a helmet
too suspect
Yeah going 150kmph and crashing straight into an impenetrable wall will immediately kill you.
a fall from your bicycle without a helmet can fucking kill you
>as usual shitkat spewing shit
could you just please for once shut the fuck up and go to bed? why aren't you out smashing colfax bitches anyway, or was that all fictional like your "bike"?
>Post bike stats
no u
...
...
do five starts in cost and up keep mean cheap or expensive?
I figured more stars for more cost, but that seems counterintuitive now that I'm thinking about it.
doing a nice little trail loop in the morning and then im going to see if i can squeeze this 140/80 on there
More stars = more.
Keep it stupid, simple.
...
You can't paint tanks, and you have to use perforated vinyl. Gasoline vents right through the pores.
>DRZ
>5 stars for weight
...
I know you're trolling, but I'm comparing it to pigfat machines like
>why aren't you out smashing colfax bitches anyway
Because I don't want aids/a meth addiction/illegitimate children
You can die doing anything but if you want results play it safe and go for a higher speed with no gear
Either way it's not 5 stars. Not near the lightest dual sport, lighter than most street bikes.
...
SM is a street bike, I'm comparing it to street bikes.
>not putting it on now
god you're like that guy with a designated work area on his street who couldn't fix his bike at night
>can't paint tanks
dafuk you say?
>gasoline vents
out of the walls of your tank?
one of us is very confused
'ere ya go
>weight
>5 stars
well we did say more stars = more
apples to oranges
>doesn't know about plastic tanks
pls acknowledge my shitpost fellow shitposter
gasoline will offgas through polyethylene plastic tanks.
if you paint it, it will fall off
if you put solid stickers on, they will blister up.
the material is not 100% impermeable like steel
ksl.com
I'm seriously considering this for my first bike... Is it a good idea? When I go see it, what should I inspect. And what would be a fair price? BTW insurance for me on this will be 100 per year....thats crazy low.
Fuel vapor vents out the pores of the tank, that's why you can't put a large solid sticker on a plastic tank.
You can only paint metal tanks. Plastic (nylon actually I think) tanks vent gas straight out the pores in the plastic slowly.
>apples to oranges
Nope, the SM is a street bike, from the factory.
Seems alright especially with the hitch carrier
>Utah
Sure, go for it.
Doesn't sound like a screaming deal to me, but idk what those bikes go for.
...
so is the S if you want to go that route.
your bike compared to other supermotos is a turd in the punch bowl bro, right next to the wr250
dont you fucking talk shit about the 250
Just let him keep being delusional about his meme sumo.
I don't, but I see the problem now.
Can't line it or get a metal replacement or anything?
I wonder how sharpie extreme would hold up on a white tank...
still if you can't even paint the shit, why are you daydreaming about graphics on it at all?
Depends on how you define speed, they all top out around 90.
I only daydream about fuckting your mum, fagget!
>Perforated vinyl doesn't bubble like pic above
Let me dream senpai
There is a metal tank I could import from Italy, but I got my big plastic adventure tank for a reason.
youtube.com
>tfw no moto gf
well, i never mentioned speed..
but just about all the other SM bikes are lighter and make a fair bit more power.
most of them can drag 100+ without too much complaint
>delusion
>for a reason
obviously not to paint!
so how about a vinyl sticker/wrap that you then go over with a piercing tool to make it breathe? same concept as the perforated vinyl wrap but without the commercially necessary giant dots.
alternatively get multiple prints of your tank art (vehicle wrap is fairly cheap) and just re-wrap it when the seep destroys each previous incarnation.
just fyi, they blister in a matter of hours on warm days.
not sure but you may be able to dye them
Where the hell do you get aftermarket fairings for a 1995 GPX250?
Doesn't zzr250 fairing fit it too? ebay.
I'll be honest I'm a bit of a drz400sm fanboy.
Not because I think it's better than any other supermoto. My buddy's ktm 590 is ridiculously more powerful and intense of a ride. I've ridden a couple husqyvnvarisrjiamfoamgas also that are much better all around bikes.
They're lighter, more powerful, and just more fun to ride.
I like my DRZ because I'm a cheap ass. The bike is cheap. They are durable as fuck. If you do break them, they're super easy to work on and cheap to get parts for. 20k on mine original motor and all and it still runs like it's new and I beat the living shit out of it every time I ride it. Buddy's has 33 or 34k and it on its original motor and all still though she's starting to burn oil pretty good but he still tears the shit out of it when we ride.
That said. I love the drz because it's a true jack of all trades and a master of none and it'll keep going forever.
You can't be honest about it like that. All the delusional DRZ fanboys will shun you.
my baiku ratings
ok
Drz are absolute dog shit
Stop making up dumb ass excuses. If you care about reliability buy a civic
>If you care about reliability buy a GS500

My bike has bitten the dust today so i need a replacement, Looking at this but im not sure is the 86,409km too high
Is it worth it /DBT/?
Oh look another shit tier cock sucker poser commuter bike
he is right you know.
fucken nobikes
Obvious bait but I'll bite.
I have a few reliable cars already. I enjoy being able to go out on long trips and beat the shit out of the bike on trails or something and still not be worried about making it home.
I'm very happy with my DRZ, does everything I want it to do.
>inb4 more stop liking what I don't like.
>Don't buy a reliable bike
I'm sure you realize how stupid you sound. Bait or not
>CC81 defending drz
/dbt/ is weird tonight
I was shit talking it earlier. If there's one good thing to say about the DRZ it's reliability.
Also I like to play devil's advocate.

>street legal pre pussification DRZ400E for under $3K
Oh fuck, why did I find this, I don't have any money for a new bike.
Dude post a pic of your bike, I'm interested to see what tomposter rides.
Give me two good reasons why I shouldn't bang a 6/10 18 year old fresh highschool grad Chinese girl from tinder dbt.
Because you're gay
