why is it that the goofier looking the motorcycle, the safer people think it is?
a crash at a ruckus' top speed still hurts a fucking lot with bare skin rubbing against pavement. you could end up with skin grafts, and god forbid you slide into something before your skin scrubs off some speed for y ou.

Most people rationalize their choices post res
Robert Nelson
Because easy=safe in most people's minds, something easy to do, like riding a scooter, can't be dangerous.
Asher Perez
Nice.
Charles King
I crashed my 70cc 2t moped tons of times. At top speed, pulling wheelies, sideswiped by a car, rammed in the back by a car, generally dumb shit. Other than a few minor scars came out all okay. Purely anecdotal of course but it didn't feel life threatening unsafe. Unless you get run over or something, that being the exception.
Pretty sure ragdolling drunk 16 year old little shits are nigh invincible.
Tyler Flores
>i don't have to shift gears so surely i won't crash
Gay boomer fudd shit like pic related is generally ridden and maintained, by gay boomer fudds who don't lean, don't exceed 70, don't ride in the wet, don't ride in traffic, and throw all kinds of cash into maintenance.
Also there is a correlation between power-to-weight and fatalities even when you control for rider demographics.

but leather doesn't save your life. it saves your skin. which goes away even if you only have 10hp.

Though it must be added that my father, God bless his soul, bought me a race spec arai lid as soon as I got that thing. He was a wise man.

Weren't their helmets pretty okay?
Only know it from some obnoxious motovlogger cunt.
Hunter Garcia

Kevin Green
Honestly I think the helmet is pretty good for the price. It's loud but I wear earplugs no matter what because my exhaust is too loud anyways so I don't really care about that.
They have the best looking helmets IMO.

thank you

That's the Stelvio experience Or the dragon Or whatever other famous "driver's road" Cagers think lots of curves = fun
Bentley Smith
>take corner at 10km/h
Found your problem
Train by taking 90ยบ city corners going faster and faster. The fastest I can manage while staying on the right side of the road is 40mph.
Adam Cruz
it is kinda iconic for its 40 or so hairpins but the other side down onto italy is more fun >pic different day, less snow
Isaac Morris
except you keep getting stuck behind old faggots the whole way up
taking the same type of switchback over and over is lame
this is why coastal roads are the best, nice curves and variance
Cameron Campbell
Used to have an Icon helmet, it was pretty decent, this was years ago tho. I'm a fan a alpinestars tho. Everything I've had from them was and is really good.
Gabriel Martinez
Yeah alpinestars is the best 'budget' brand. All their stuff I've owned has been quality and well priced.

Pair of gloves I have now are from them, I got for free.

Yea, definitely a speed triple.

Discount I got was enough to cover the price, so basically it was I bought stuff and got a free pair of gloves.
David Richardson
Really? Do tell.
Tiger sport actually.
Nah, be honest.
Jaxon Jenkins
Had 2 pairs. The first was the mono fuse - this had ratchets which failed after a few months Got a warranty credit and got the Webs - the Velcro came apart in under a year

I have 8 year old dirtbike boots I still wear to this day. They're scratched to hell from my many falls but never broke

I haven't had any of their street boots, but I've had two pairs of dirt boots and they were fantastic, much better then the Fox shit I got when I grew out of them.

Noah Collins
open a magazine article about it >clutch dies quite often >rear brake is non-efficient because brake fluid overheats all the time >generator power is barely enough to sustain the needs
In that case I would be moving either abroad (don't want to / too hard) or to a place where I'd be much poorer.
Brayden Wood
everything except the bandana and piercings apply

Looked into it a bit Main problems seem to be battery failure and some little connectors, both easily fixed

Been out for like half a year since I met my current girlfriend. Quit all drugs including tobacco and caffeine as well. I'm actually posting from the afterlife right now.
Though sadly I have to part with my current bike tomorrow due to insurance problems. Mainly that Geico wanted $14,000 /yr for minimum street legal coverage for a $5000 bike new. It's because it's financed but before you call me retarded I wasn't the dumbass that financed a new bike as their first bike despite someone telling them to get one used. I'm going to go for a ride today without insurance regardless and take some pics before I give it back to the person tomorrow. They don't even want the bike anymore and signed the financing contract on a whim. But unfortunately she can't sign me the title because the bank has it. She offered to though. I'm going to save up for something else for next spring.
I also got banned from the /dbt/ discord in 2 posts.

How shit is your driving record to get raped that hard, damn man.
Jonathan Gray
Yeah that's the bike I'm talking about. 320cc 2016 Yamaha R3. It's a beautiful bike and I'm sure it can wheelie versus my old CBR250R and it runs smooth as butter. It's hard for me to give it up but I can't have a bike that's illegal to ride in my garage tempting me everyday weighing on my mind. After I made up my mind I was surprised how relieved I felt. Dumb cunt owner had me paying for parts and working on mods and repairs on it, though it was out of my own personal obligation.
Someone listed the two side fairing pieces up on eBay new for 100$, online and stealers charge $300 but she still didn't want to fork out something to repair it. I even offered to pay half for her plus installation.
Here's hoping I don't crash or get caught by police while I ride out today or tomorrow morning.
Dylan Fisher
It's a clean driving record with MSF/MSS and defensive driving course discounts applied already. I've been operating for 2 years and I'm 20. But disregard the age, it would've been $1700 /yr if the bike wasn't financed. I should call them and ask how much it'll be for full coverage for the shits and giggles.
Gabriel Morgan
FZ10 or Speed Triple? Which one dbt
Thomas Russell
What you thinking for next spring fambly? Also I tried to get u unb& in discord but they don't like u lol
Isaac Mitchell
Eff zee The triumph has a really short wheelbase which is fun but the FZ is a faster bike
Jonathan Reyes
I just now realized that hideous thing exists. I saw one the other day and I thought it was a crashed bike that the owner was too broke to repair.
Easton Clark
yeah the speed triple ain't a beauty
Alexander Ortiz

Just went to traffic court for my speeding ticket. 53 in a 25. 75$ fine and 130$ in court fees. Last time I hoon in town.
David Hernandez
He means they're both piss ugly
which they are
Because Yamaha can't make good looking bikes and Triumph has a Wall-E fetish
Colton Mitchell
LMAO M A O
So I just called Geico to ask them what full coverage on the R3 would be. They said since the bike is financed full coverage is mandatory so it'd be $17,000 /yr lower deductible to $20,000 /yr full.
FZ10/10 ugly. Old triple is beauty though. Pre-mantis eyes preferrably with regular side exhaust not undertail.
Charles Bell

Cameron Brown
That's not bad
I did 92 in a 65 and got $113, a $20 dismissal fee, $10 in defensive driving and a $15 driving record.
