/dbt/ Daily bike thread

becuase you're supposed to be standing much of the time you're riding.

real riding bikes have a pillon or ridge to hold you.

reminder to give your bike some lovin'

Ok i read this and i have one cheap 150cc how do improve my motorcycle skills better?

why are you making the new threads early anyway?

>this hurts the balls

>Buy Suzuki DRZ400 as first bike a few months ago
>Take class and get motorcycle license without any issues
>Stall my bike almost every single time I come to a stop and then start again
>Get to stop sign
>Stop, try to take off again
>Let clutch slowly while pulling on the throttle
>Bike dies
>Only way I can take off is by ripping on the throttle
What the fuck am I doing wrong? I had no problem with the bikes I tested with, I could take off, work the clutch, ease in an out of gears just fine. But I don't think it's my bike either because my brother drives it occasionally and never seems to have a problem with it. I seriously focus all of my energy on just giving it gas while letting the clutch out and it still dies every time unless I give it a shitload of gas. I've had this problem for months now and I've mastered every other part of riding except the most basic fucking part.

daily reminder that honda a shit

You didn't master the fucking friction zone you fucking scrub.

tru

lol a drz has enough torque to start in first without throttle right?

retire damnit

why? he still podiums.

>tfw can let the clutch out pretty quick on my bike without throttle and not stall

this. after two weeks it should be second nature.

Well I bought a used ninja 650 as a first bike two days ago and managed to drop it only 3 times when learning to get into first gear. The second time I was practicing my stop and turn and managed to only break off the right mirror.

Yup

>drop it only 3 times
>in two days
>only 3 times
>only
>3 times
>2 days
bruh

Have you people no balance ?

>tfw ski / surf / skate flawlessly
>tfw first bike has never been dropped and can do full lock u turns after a week

git gud, son

>tfw ski / surf / skate flawlessly
10/10 hobbies, I am juiced to live in CO so now I can hit the rockies more than once a year.

cali has the benefit of being able to do all three of those in a day though

>ski

it must be a problem with my bike because I can't even conceive letting the clutch out without throttling on this thing. if the clutch is out without much throttle for even a second the bike will die, even when its idling in neutral I have to give it some throttle every few seconds to keep the engine from dying

ive seriously had this problem for months and havent gotten any better at it despite trying every day

skiing kicks ayuss. nothing on earth feels like flying down a mountain at 65+ mph on two pieces of wood/plastic/metal while hurtling past others, trees and over jumps.

have you tried cleaning the carb...?

I DID IT, Job is quit, fuck that job, fuck those people, ahhhhh. Fucking fuck.

>when you come across gems.

I think the problem is you

what job?

your idle might be set too low

...

Structural Steel Worker.

and what will you do now?
>tfw sell obamaphones
>kind of a shit job
pays aight tho

I used to be on ski team all through high school and got real gud

Should I be fine at balancing a bike for my first time?

Sounds like a Harley

Well, nothing for the rest of the year, I can literally sit at home and masturbate.

But start of next year I'll be in the Army.

You fucked up m8
you fucked up. Good luck with bad leadership for the time of your contract. hahah haha haaa haa.

Not in USA dude, don't have your shitty military issues. NZ Army

they literally have nothing to do with each other.

can you ride a pushbike without falling over? if yes, you'll be fine.

y army? if I were to enlist, i'd probably go chairforce

Trying out for SAS, also interested in infantry command over chair force.

you may have a problem with your bike.

you may be retarded.

we need more information.

Haha tell me about it. I knew I was going to drop the bitch so it doesn't irritate me much. I'm learning and finally on a fucking bike after over a decade of wanting one, I'm so god damn happy.

Do you get a stipend of sheep for fucking?

>dorky mitts
>pedobear

would kick over when no-one is looking/10

bikes balance themselves in less than 1 mph.

balancing is the least of your concerns.

...

Want to test bike to limits but nearest track requires full leathers.
> payday is too far away

>idling in neutral
>dying

adjust your fucking idle?

seriously

how did you get this far without trying that

poorly baked meme

>NZ
Oh sup bro, Welly here.

>army
always thought about that myself, I'm a tradie so I think I'd get a pretty sweet officer/engineer deal. I love that weed tho so I never pulled the trigger (pun intended)

Welly also dude. But yeah stick tradie if you love that weed. What company are you working for?

Welly as well lads, wanna go shag some sheep?

>mfw lanesplitting while people honk at me

stop somewhere ahead of them and wave them over. watch them

>a. get madder
>b. get out of car (take off)
>c. realize they can't

I work for a major civil construction company

which i will not name

for weed related reasons

:)

Will do. Sounds like a good time

Is there anything that's nearly as nimble as the cb250? My power/weight ratio feels just god tier for 17hp at 280lbs wet.

What I'm getting at is my local Super Bike Shop is having a demo-day next weekend and I want to know what to test ride. Something light that has no problems mulling about at 80mph.

Ok, what bikes you guys ride?

I have the same bike m8, the best commuter bike i ever had and i had bigger bikes, i ride it more than my vfr800.

Legitimate mods:

Down gearing ?
Braided hours?
Carbon can?

I dont have a bike :(

reposting bcuz need moar input

>Found a ninja 300 year 2012, for 2.6K
>Shall I pull the trigger for my first bike?

>What signs should I look for to detect if the bike was in a heavy crash??

Also, the bike has 21k miles on it, cracked front wheel mud-guard, and some part of the front (owner said he was gonna send pics today before I visited him, pic is a google'd one)

yay or nay..?

A-are you telling me it doesn't get any better?

I heard the Magna's have a really good power/weight ratio

Didnt you just bought the cbr250?

>find older 250 for $1k
>spend the rest for gear and insurance

KTM 450 EXC

I'm still pretty new at riding, but I'm moto-privileged and basically been on the back of Dad's bike since I was old enough to hold on (he sat me on the tank before that)

no, some money I was about to receive got delayed and didnt buy anything yet

very hard to find sports bikes over here m8, believe me that if I had many options I would have already bought one

I dont know m8, probably a ktm but i would stay away from those. Also The newer jap 250/300 are pretty good but feel heavy compared the cb.250.

The field will be much nicer without his retarded fans booing everyone who beats him.

Braided metal lines are a definite upgrade over rubber. Better tires are too.

Learn to ride better first though, or spend the money on an advanced rider course

Just buy one of those supermarket bikes they sell over there.

fucking this.

all these lame-ass ninja 300s and cbr 300s

sound like fucking bumblebees on prozac

>pic related, thiz wat u want.

I dont think they sell those donkeys in mexico

What do you guys toughts about sidecar racing?

:( but I want it to be reliable and last some time, also be able to resell it

Kinda cool. I like watching the offroad ones crash. It's like an ATV crash but with two people and a little more random due to the asymmetrical shape of it.

>dual lamps
>one yellow, one white
hnnnnngggg

i bet you prefer the sight of an erect penis at your place of employment as a cock connoisseur

Sidecar racing is pretty hectic m8.
I'd like to give swinging a try one day.

>Phrasing!

Of course, won't settle for anything less

Nigger what?

What possible problem do you have with some guy on the internet thinking one yellow headlight filter is cool?

>accidentally see illegal stuff
>feeling like shit
I need to ride now more than ever.

I am making a set of these inverted, the pink line is just the cut line for the plotter
what do you guys think?

So what's preventing you from doing so?

>thought I could differentiate previous CBR250R and current JDM CBR250R by code designations
>the chassis is the same so they're both MC41
Fug

fund it

you should go to somewhere where they do sell them

>the way the guy falls over when trying to run back to his buddy

Sleep deprivation and wind chill

>Take a nap
>layer up
>3hr later go for a night ride
or nah?

I have narcolepsy so a 20 minute nap usually turns into 14 hours.

I have to deal with it every weekend when my sleep schedule shifts and i'm a zombie at work.

is he kill?

I like the older side cars where it's actually a bike with a sidecar on it, instead of a tube chassis

If I design a sticker can you cut me a bunch? Want to make a sticker for my ride to AK next year so I can be cool and slap it on signs and such
