>first experience a motorcycle first time I ever rode a motorcycle was when I was 17 at a then girlfriends beach house hanging out with her when she went to get a coffee and I found this bad boy in the garage. hadn't been run for years, probably needed the points cleaned and the gas changed out but I fucked around for a solid 2 hours bump starting it and having a blast. 10/10 shitebike

Can you guys prove this guy wrong?
Oliver Green
Yes.

>bike in shed
Sebastian Cook
I've found CT-18 and Kerosene make cleaning anything a breeze. Used diesel a few times when something is particularly disgusting.
Angel Scott
>tfw no big bore XR dual sport to go hooning on
Justin Morales
Reminder that sharing is caring and if any Chicago anons ride with me over the summer you're free to try my bike out.

Charles Lopez

Gabriel Lewis
CRC?
I've got crazy high water pressure here so I just stick a small tank of CT-18 on the end of the hose and it's basically a pressure cleaner haha.

Jayden Parker
are those nissin calipers? damn they are small
Gabriel Richardson

Don't do it m8.
Sebastian Clark
ayyyy I almost got one of those as my first bike.
Jordan Watson
Check out my '85 Ironhead. XLX1000. Original Paint and everything.
Owen Scott
>got a dremel
yep, you'll have to pick it up though
>organize
Yeah, I know. I inherited the house, garage, contents, and 2 out of my 5 bikes. It's an ongoing process.
Aiden Morris
>Can you guys prove this guy wrong? Why bother? They'll still call you a no bike faggot
Daniel Cox
so post bikes not in shed then?
Michael Phillips
Nobike faggot ;^)
Nathaniel Rogers
But this bike isn't in a shed and it's my dad's.
David Diaz
his bike is shit and broken, hence the reason why he wants someone to ride it and possibly crash it so he can get an insurance claim
Jayden Wood

And here we see the wild dirt squirter her natural habitat.

It looks well maintained
John Garcia
>that front end
Damn! What the fuck? That's weird/cool!
Isaiah Miller
Like 4 of my friends already rode it. Fuck, one of them learned on it. As long as you're not a fucking tosser.
Yep. 6 Piston Nissin calipers with 320mm front discs mounted on 50mm Marzocchi forks. They do a decent job. I wanna upgrade to some bigger brembos soon.
>hue Almost fixed. just need to replace a radiator hose and get my shit back from the bodyshop.

Leading link, it helps keep it controllable with the hack on it.

Is that a facebook image filename?
Christopher Bailey
I think it's photobucket or something, I didn't have any pics of it so I found some and saved it.
Elijah Phillips
Nth for ghetto ass radio rig.

>be careful not to startle it
LOL I was thinking those exact words in my internal Attenborough monologue
Colton Hughes
Do you even ghetto?
Brayden Martinez
"It's highly dangerous and may attack at any time"
Christian Powell
Damn senpai that's pretty nigger rigged.
Ayden Hall
Finally, after 3 years riding street, I rode a dirt bike for the first time. Didn't mean to squid, but that's all I had with me when we went out on the trails.
Cameron Morris
It runs (and all the electrics work now) but it's looking like it could be fucked. Changing bearings and axle but the swingarm might be bent.
Feels good man. I can't even remember the last time I wore any gear but a half helm and gloves.
David Jones
Did someone say
D R Z R Z
Parker Torres
No
David Gutierrez
>tfw just got home from 13 hour ride
That was fun. My ass hurts.
Connor Powell
is the front tyre on backwards?
Chase Thompson
Talk me out of getting a DRZ400SM for first bike
Jace Edwards
You're kidding, right?
Aaron Hughes
Hey I kinda like it. Too many people these days clean their bikes more than they ride. So long as the bike runs well who gives a fuck how it looks.
Lucas Evans
no. just try not to buy new
Jordan Carter
don't do it user no stop pls no
Carter Robinson
>is the front tyre on backwards? No.
Everything on the front end is working fine. It's the rear that's having issues. I'll throw it on the stand and try to film it later.
For what I want to use it for it doesn't really matter what it looks like. I just need to wrap the wiring up in tape to protect it. Main issue it the rear brake drags REALLY badly at the moment when it's off the stand.
It's hard to photograph but you can kind of see here. The wheel isn't straight.
William Parker
Don't you wish there was an easy case you could put your bike into and then check it like a piece of luggage at the airport?
So you could fly with your bike. Avoiding the need for a rental car at your destination.
Noah Lopez
I'm dead serious.
Kevin Rodriguez
>SM >buying a dirt bike with street wheels so you have a shitty street bike
either get a real dual sport or a naked you shit
Josiah Taylor
just took a bunch of nyquel and three ambien pills
should i tape a ouija board to my bike yes or no
heyu
Cooper Phillips
Do it
Colton Murphy
look at this fun
Wyatt Campbell
tape? no fucking epoxy that bitch and then put a couple of woodscrews through it. you don't want it flying off the first time you hit 20mph
Leo Miller
How did /dbt/ first experience a motorcycle?
posted this in the last thread and it got some interesting replies.
Jeremiah Johnson
Nah man he can use that really good 3M double sided tape
Levi Sanchez
I would do this, although I hate to fly and have driven across the country many times to avoid it. Also I love me the shit out of a rental car. But I'd still do it, just to take the bike on vacation.
Gabriel Peterson
rode my friends 150cc scooter and it was fun. so i took the msf and bought a bike.
Alexander Sullivan
Get the S you faggot!!!!
Ryder Gutierrez
Going to tape a ouija board to my bike. Soon as the ambien kicks in im taking it for a ride. goot bye /dbt/ im going to haunt the fuck out of all of you if i die
Joshua Diaz
wood screws > some shitty tape
Jayden Perez
>implying you can't wheelie an S model and not look like a faggot

Reposting from last thread
My dad had been riding Harley's all my life in an attempt to seem more American after moving to the U.S. from Denmark. I bought a bike for myself when I turned 16 and I've been riding ever since.
Basically just grew up watching my dad ride and riding on the back of his bikes.
Michael Moore
Called in at work today, got bitched at by sub manager, didn't give a fuck but put on my usual "I'm really sorry ma'am this won't happen again" tone since this is the first time calling in.
Went to a junkyard with my friend to see if they had a left side Integra mirror. Pulled a bunch of honda emblems because why the fuck not. He gave me all his unused cb700 which I conveniently needed, and free scissor jack. Also bought another CRV picnic table for 7 dollars and found like 2 tool sleeves I swiped and a little first aid pouch that we took and used as our tool pouch. Easily earned like 70 dollars in parts just for not going to work today.
Juan Gomez
You know, I respect your right to risk your ass, but seriously, half helmets look retarded as fuck.
Looks aside, just imagine your face hitting the asphalt at even moderate speed.
Also, do you not get bugs and stuff in your mouth?
What about flying rocks and shit?
Nicholas Richardson
take pictures after you die
John Moore
nah dont do that. street wheels corner better
Jose Hernandez
Dad's vtx, he let me take it for a stroll through an empty parking lot. Was 17 year old hungry skeleton.
Ian Jones
royal enfield
are they shit
Angel Wright
where do you work?
Bentley Hernandez
yes
Isaiah Lee
My parents bought me a '73 Honda mini trail from my cousin when I was 6.
Matthew Sanchez
Not a BAD idea, but yeah. Get the dirt one.
Christian Nguyen
ever since my dad had a stroke he started to dislike them
not sure what the fuck that means but there you go
Isaiah Mitchell
my dad
Kevin Gonzalez
stationed in japan.
had to take some free and mandatory MSF classes on duty days(yay). Riding some korean knockoff of a 250 yamaha. Then I bought a Suzuki 250ST E Type from an American civilian that work on another base. Rode that for a year or so before I came back to teh state.
land splitting if fucking fantastic. turned 3 hour drives in japan into 30 minutes bike rides.
Easton Taylor
>that windjammer N O I C E O I C E
Joshua Reyes
thank you for your service
Jose Miller
Windshield on my bike.
Also I know it's stupid as fuck to ride with one but one day I woke up and didn't give a single shit about it for some reason and no matter how hard I try I can't get myself to give two fucks about it. I really don't know why I feel this way now.
Aaron Taylor
your dad [not as cool as] this dad
>also are you still in diapers you fat little turd?
Jace Jones
I say it all the time but y'all need to stop caring so much about this hurr durr you're a nobike no you're a nobike shit.
Some of the biggest retards in the universe, let alone /dbt/ own motorcycles, It doesn't make anything they post worth listening to.
Dad used to race, all his friends were motorcycle people, Neighbor rode too (BMW R1200C, 1989 RM250) always around them.
Been on the back of motorcycles as a pillion as long as I can remember.
Got a 125 dirt bike at around 10 years old.
Stopped riding for a few years.
Moved states and picked up street riding as an adult.
Jaxon Watson
who is this erection confection?
Justin Hernandez
i'm 28 now, so no.
Colton Bell
You play a dangerous game with CTA hanging around.
Jason Cooper
Yo why your dad look like he's gettin off to you bending over like that?
Xavier Adams
this is cool, but it seems really irresponsible. i mean, not even a helmet for the kid? can you even force his arms out of the way quickly enough to get to the controls if you needed to in a panic situation? without inadvertently disturbing the bike in the process?
Michael Scott
he was probably drunk
Cameron Smith
some paddock babe, idk
Kevin Murphy
looks like he's givin ya the root m8. papa pederast
Brandon Butler
I rode half helmet for years, no helmet on campus. Wouldn't do it now. only really fat bugs like junebugs hit you, the rest are part of the windstream unless you hit something like 116mph (which I did, it was like driving into a wall of damn mosquitoes). basic fluid dynamics keeps you safe from most things.
anyway, it's not bad as long as you have sunglasses. the only problem i ever had was in my full face when the glass was up a fraction and a wasp literally exploded on my cheek- stinger first.
