Dirt bikes are for kids. Harleys are best. Chicken strips don't matter. Chicken strips means you're a terribly slow rider. KTM a shit. All non-Japanese manufacturers are shit. Still no grom. DR650/SV650 a best.
There we go I think I took care of the important threadly reminders in one post.

Fuck me I forgot Honda a best/shit.

How do the peli cases attach to the frame? Do you have any close up shots? Did you make the brackets/mounts whatever yourself?
Carson Morris
Thought about this
>electric vehicles start to replace IC vehicles >demand for gas goes down >market is oversaturated with gas >gas becomes EXTREMLY cheap
How do you think will people react?

Forty Eight vs Dyna Street Bob, pros and cons?
Evan Martin
>looking at nakedbikes for A2 to ride and hoon with TW user I never thought that it would be so hard to find a bike that I like in this class.
Also the maintenance for petrol vehicles will likely become more expensive.

Will a bike help with nogf ?

Gasoline is too damn robust to be fully replaced everywhere, I don't see lithium batteries making a real impact on demand any time soon.

It might help you get your mind off it, but likely won't get you a qt.

even 200 years from now electric vehicles will be a plaything for the upper 5%.
you really think all those arabs, chinamen and africans will switch to electric just to "save the environment"?

No, but they are fantastic for abducting hookers. Cops won't chase you so you can take your plates off. Wear a full face helmet and they can never if you. If they get too uppity then just push the off while on a freeway and problem solved. Bonus if you own a Dualsport, can take them into woods where no one can hear their screams.

Im new to riding and want to get into dual sports, will be riding in US and Canada. Im looking at 2 options: Bmw f800gs for 8-10k or a honda cb500x with the stage 3 kit.
I just want to explore and go camping, I have no interest in technical riding.
Bentley Brooks
I feel dangerous on it

Well, some good news about my bike (RIP).
Insurance valued my bike at more than double what I paid for it.
I can buy all kinds of bikes that I couldn't afford before.
Justin Robinson
>a plaything for the upper 5%. the only flaw right now is the mileage/battery.
There are tons of electric cars for around $30k and in a few years when the used market gets filled you can get them for even less.
Elijah Jackson
neato as fuck, so what's on the menu?
Parker Kelly
buy a grom
Aiden Morris
because it is fast or because it feels unsafe? tell me about it, I thought about buying one pls m8
yellow starts to look pretty good on road bikes
Jacob Hernandez
Money will never replace the hole in my heart from where my bike died.
But of all the shit I've been through over this bike, including risking my life to go buy it, I feel the money was sort of earned.
Hunter Myers
What? No you don't need that. Can't you read? You push them off while on the freeway.
Bough a pair of pilot road 4 for 260 yurobucks on a riding group deal, swap included. I was just wondering if there is any quick checkup I can do right after to see if they aligned it properly etc.
Isaac Walker
here's the deal:
Just sold my old bike and it's time to get something different, i had a Street Triple 675 2013.
Motards turns me on a lot... but i don't know wich one... any suggestions ?
Jayden Sanders
I haven't bought it, it just seems like a good price for an R1.
I'm not good at greentext, but basically: >Previous bike broke down >End of winter, still cold wet, and rainy >Over a month of scouring Craigslist for a decent deal on a bike with no luck >Suddenly, CBR600 F4i for only $1800 CDN >Holy shit holy shit! >Send email >Owner getting dozens and dozens of emails >Picks mine because it was brief to the point, and didn't try to haggle >Says that the bike is mine if I can come get it >Except that he lives in a smaller town an hour to the North on one of the most dangerous and twistiest highways in the country >Have just enough money for the bike and insurance, and not even fifty dollars more >It's a CBR600 - better risk it >Ask a buddy who lives in the same town to drop me off >Arrive, see bike, exchange money >Need to buy insurance >Owner gives me ride into town, buy insurance, go back to bike >Sun has now set, it is dark and pitch black >Storm rolls in, lightning, thunder, heavy pouring rain >Bike is pic related, exposed wiring and zip ties galore >Ride home on the scariest mother fucking highway ride of my life >Soaking wet, totally unfamiliar with the bike >Never drove a 4 cylinder before, never been on anything as aggressive >Headlight sucks, can't see more than about 2 feet in front of me on the whole trip >No money for hotel, no place to stay, it was basically trust in the bike and have it take me home or everything is fucked
Somehow I arrived home safe and sound and with a perfectly functioning CBR600.
Photo is from that night.

depends on what you want to do with it.
Justin Taylor
Why are SV650s such meme machines? Everywhere I look people are singing the praises of these things like they're some kind of miracle bike but they don't look much different from other 600s. They just look like generic sportbikes and their specs aren't the greatest.
Is it because they're so affordable? I don't understand...
Enlighten me, brothers.
Liam Morgan
Guy who I bought it from made the pelican cases " fit", pretty much just drilled 2 holes into the case, threaded 2 holes into the storage frames, and it gets set in place by 2 knobs. I'll take some pictures once I get home.
Nolan Reyes
oh ok, usually you have marks on your swingarms to check if they are aligned properly. Also check the usual things - chain tension and retorque nuts if you aren't sure
Cameron Wilson
I'm inclined to say the 690SMC looks like the best all around bike for hooning and daily riding. It looks like a good middle ground. I currently own a DRZ400 and a 450EXC. The 450 is a lot of fun but you might be turned off by the maintenance schedule associated with race-bred machines. The DRZ400 probably won't excite you too much coming from a much more powerful bike.
Jeremiah Reyes
Big engine but only two cylinders, so you get to make a lot of noise and talk the talk while still being on a bike safe for learners and inexperienced riders.
It's pretty maneuverable, to it's credit.
It's easily affordable, like most Suzakis.
It's got an iconic "snake" look that no other bike has. It looks really long and narrow, and it's pretty sleek.
Thomas Reyes
Ok will do that, thanks.
Evan Ross
I'm buying a CRF250L and there is NOTHING you can do to stop me!
The er6n? Its a beginner bike, very twitchy and needs to be reved high, nothing for relaxed cruising.
Brandon Evans
>CRF250 >not Rally Way to blow it user.
Christopher Richardson
Also pretty much this I'm getting it because it's the only affordable and none POS that I can buy in this state. Plus their engines are remarkably durable
Nathan King
Its a cheap v2 that looks faster than it is.
What else do you need?
Leo Thompson
>dress up a slow pigfat dual sport with fairings Nah
Get a WR250R instead
Leo Roberts
Also, they re-did the SV650 a few years ago and the new one is total shit compared to the old one, so it just looks better by comparison.
Carson Cox

im about to go to sleep but ill add the people who wrote me to the map tomorrow morning if you want on the map pls write me a mail, its all described on the link
Aiden Butler
What makes Yamaha so much better? It just looks like a more expensive 250 to me.
Jeremiah Cook
So I've heard that R6s and R1s don't turn well, compared to CBR600s?
That da true-true?

Ok question: >bought older (1998) DR650 a month or so ago now >Been starting and riding perfect after having put a new battery in >today come out of work >bike makes the soleinoid clicking sound >shit a brick >have boss help me push start it >Starts up fine, ride home fine >get home, going to let bike sit for a few minuets to charge battery >It idles good but is killing at random times (not totally shocked by this though because I know it's time for a carb clean pretty soon.)
Any ideas?? Now I what I think happened it that I left it on the accessory spot all day because I lock the fork but didn't know about the accessory right below it. I'm going to go try to start it in a while once the bike cools off to see if it's gonna start.
Brody Rodriguez
If you have a volt meter, check that the battery is charging while the bike is running. It should be around 14 volts when running.
Samuel Rivera
clean the carbs check that it gets fuel no hoses should be blocked
Colton Young
The 250L likes to bend its frame if a fly lands on it wrong. Dual sports need to be able to take a beating and honda just doesn't cut it for durability.
Cameron Wood
>tfw nobody in my area rides shitbikes dangit
Jacob Roberts
i was going to do oil changes and ride but i think i'm just going to drink beer instead
what's /dbt/ up to?

Bout to make tacos. Then buy a new ECU for my track bike
