i actually failed the first MSF course i went to because i pulled a muscle before getting there
still made it to the riding test
Gavin Clark
it isnt but it means I know the risk, probably better than you, and I still think it's worth lighting up some while grilling after a day out riding in the summer of course, if y'all gonna be bitches about that, I wont bring any again, I just asked and I got my answer, no need to get your knickers in a bunch

That's just your opinion.

Meh marijuana is a pretty boring high imo. Would eat rather get drunk even if they were both legal.

This is what happens when kids from Veeky Forums meat. Keep up the good work guys

why not both
Jonathan Ross
Marijuana sobers me more thananything when I'm drunk
Thomas Martin
lolwut the combination of the two makes my brain sit in a comfy buzz of delirium and music generates automatically inside me also, weed gives me munchies and dry mouth so drinking makes it all smoother it's a nice symbiosys that works best when you have a hot grill in front of you and a bunch of friends to share the experience with, idk why just naming it got people so mad
Sebastian Robinson
got any nice pics of front-to-back cutaways?

Rode out to Tampa tonight. Anyone know of any places in the area where I could get a good breakfast? Kind of want to check it Columbia Restaurant, but parking your bike in Ybor city is a good way to get that shit stolen.

Because automatic transmissions are shit in general, Americans like them so they can eat a burger and drive at the same time

my question wasn't meant as bait for you brainlets please first try automatic before you spout memes about it really the same in every thread on Veeky Forums faggots who never sat in an automatic car mock it
I'm european btw
Jeremiah Russell
i drove automatic it was shit i drove scooters it was shit
i want to control when i want to shift, not some computer.
Ethan Garcia

hot opinion
Luke Jones
So far only Honda, kawasaki and Aprilia have tried it Honda has their DCT and hondamatic (2spd) Kawasaki had a dsg Aprilia has their CVT They all failed for offering no benefits and way too many drawbacks
I can actually expand on this if you're interested instead of just baiting
Ryan Jackson
what are the drawbacks?
Jacob Anderson
u mad bro
Easton Hernandez
if that lets you sleep at night
Ian Rodriguez
simple most people who drive cars do so for convenience and necessity, motorcycles however are for fun (along with most bike owners own cars) .
and yes there are exceptions, thats why scooters exist.
Lucas Lewis
what are the drawbacks of you learning how to shift your own fucking gears?
Jeremiah Hernandez
lol @17465410 is so mad
Noah Gonzalez
nice drawback
always fun trying to discuss a simple topic on Veeky Forums
Evan Lee
nice deflection
But being in the wrong rev range at the wrong time can actually cause you to have the wrong amount of power in a turn.
Automatics are shit at knowing when to shift. If your bike decides to upshift while you're accelerating while in a turn, and you lose the ability to maintain downward force on your rear tire, you could crash easily.
"Muh power control" isnt a meme for bikes, or cars even. But for cars it isnt life threatening
Angel Brown
Instead of shitposting, can I know if yesterday after I posted my email I've been added to the SEM group?
Because no one contacted me yet.
Ayden Moore
you call my post deflection yet you posted this piece of shit nice talking to you
btt automatic does not mean that you can't shift anymore btw shift down in/before a turn, it will only shift up again after you rev up again, not sooner, that's how automatic works automatic is probably way better than you at shifting the scenario you posted there will never happen
Jace Hernandez
It can't see what's coming up ahead and shift accordingly
Christian Phillips
but you can like I said, for special cases you can still shift yourself, you just do it with the press of a button instead of a lever and the clutch and you don't have to worry about suffocating your bike when you have to make a hard stop
Aaron King
New to motorcycles.
I still don't quite understand how to effectively change gears.
When I change to a higher gear it always makes this "bump" breaking thing.
Do I have to slowly release the clutch while throttling? Or do I just stop throttling and change gear while releasing the clutch?
Fuck, someone help me.
Bentley Young
Automatic transmissions are less reliable, more complicated/expensive and in a motorcycle they offer no tangible benefit IMO.
Motorcycle trannies are bretty good as they are and bikes will aways get moving anyway, so the benefits of a DCT aren't as great as they'd be on a car.
Not only that but in a bike of all things it pays to be attentive to what the machinery is doing/about to do.
So fuck that crap.
Adam Davis
You should always be VERY SLOWLY releasing the clutch. On some bikes take a good 5 seconds to do it.
Kayden Clark
For starters DCT is entirely computer dependant, if any of the speed sensors is faulty or reads anomalies it'll throw a transmission code and shut off You can't change gearing, wheel size or even tyre aspect or the ECU will throw a fit
DSG is just a normal transmission actuated by solenoids, it won't shift any smoother than a careful rider, but it will gladly eat through clutches like bisquits
CVT is your standard scooter transmission I love the simple ones because they're entirely mechanically actuated and can be tuned easily and for cheap They are completely unable to take any torque and offer virtually no engine braking
Standard motorcycle transmissions are dog gear sequentials, you already have only 2 options: shift up and down
The lag automatics introduce and their inability of correctly judging a situation means they'll always be inferior from a performance and safety standpoint This is why they are exclusively used in commuters
Look no further than what happened to Guy when his transmission unexpectedly disengaged mid-corner and you'll understand why
Elijah Foster
Come on now, lets all do meth like true bikers.
Benjamin Morris
What's the difference between that and your foot? You don't need the clutch to shift once you're moving
Luke Long
>8:1 post to image ratio >only one motorcycle and two halves of a motorcycle posted so far Sure is lots of hot headed arguing and not a lot of bikes in here.
Chase Walker
Anybody have a stream to the race?
Ill suck sick for it
Josiah Cruz
Not only that, the Mana comes standard with a foot shifter and you can get it as an option on the hondas
Have a festive baiku
Daniel Murphy
got my bike stolen exactly a week ago, but it's been found. someone called the police on it when it was standing on a parking lot for a while. apparently the culprits couldn't open the tank so it ran out of gas after they managed to reach the next city. instead of red-black it's matte-black so I'll see how that looks, I should have it back by tomorrow.
it's a '91 kat so i'm fucking hyped, i'd expected it to be in eastern europe or a river, left to rot somewhere so this is a positive twist.

Why is the aprilia doing so well this year? Last year it was pretty much consistently bottom 5 but this year esparago is really doing well with it.
Ian Richardson
maybe they got their shit sorted out and could throw more money at it
Anthony Peterson
Looks fast, I wouldn't trust a beginner rider with it.
Bentley Hernandez
This was an interesting read, thank you. I have had the possibilty to test two scooters this weekend and it was quite comf, but the throttle was squishy, starting to move was weird and either slow and smooth or unpredictable.
I don't think I would feel safe riding a fast motorcycle that I couldn't manually shift. If auto was an option, I might use it but if I couldn't go back to safely controlling the thing I'd be worried.
Do you have a link to the >what happened to Guy when his transmission unexpectedly disengaged mid-corner
Hunter Fisher
as far as i could gather they are actually really small and didn't have a proper budget, so they were just running basically RSV4s with minimum modifications
Unless Pedrosa wins, because even if you post screenshots of the podium I still wouldn't believe it anyway.
Joshua Hill
doing better than lorenzo with a massive budget
Tyler Lopez
aprilia may be poor, but they have a shitton of wins and experience in general under their belt petrucci - crutchlow - EsA

clutch in and off the throttle at the same time flick the gear lever up with your left foot let out the clutch and roll on the throttle smoothly

Their sales have increased like 100% in the past few years, they can probably afford to put more money into it. Plus the riders are better, Lowes just has a riding style that doesn't suit the larger bikes of MotoGP

One of the calipers wouldn't bleed, and I could see caramel-colored gunk inside the splitter (the little metal fixture that sends one line left and one line right.). So I figured I should take the lines off.
