>not being friends with hookers

getting a new one though, this one sucks above 90km/h

I'll keep the TW though

SAM and SEM should both get a prostitute to do a lewd on all the bikes

MAY THE MEME BE WITH YOU
CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT ARE CONTROL POINTS OR HOW TO USE THEM TASTEFULLY

You'll need the TW for after you crash your Honda at SEM.

w8, ur wranone? ur gona get a bike? didn't see that coming

>all those hookers
holy shit where do you live

wr user get that tt already

>WHAT ARE CONTROL POINTS OR HOW TO USE THEM TASTEFULLY

Neither I do, but instruction are for pussies.

Noice user. Congratulations on the CB500, I read it's a solid bike.

I intend to get some funny pictures with roadside prositutes on my way to SEM. I hope they don't give my bike HIV though.

Prostitution is legal in Germany, bro.

>wanting pictures of North Carolina prostitutes

>these plate dimensions
such a fucking lmao
if you pay
IT WAS FROM THE START
THANK YOU MAN

Flip plate is best plate. If your plate don't flip you a puss puss.

SUDDENLY

>ye son, just have to get my dad to testride it for me because >lol no A2

nice
are you actually going to look at some bikes now?

Yes.

Black 2016 SV650. Yay or nay?

>snipers
>mass execution of the stupid
Clarkson was right all along

Hey man when are you getting a bike? :3

Yay

Well I fucked up.
>go to reinstall handguards
>clutch banjo interfering with handguard mount
>get the mount on but it's right up against the clutch line and banjo so I'm worried it will break/rub through it
>attempt to bend the banjo down a little bit to make clearance
>it breaks instead

This is obviously the fault of those shitty Austrian factories.

...

>KTM
You should have known.

How much do I sell this God machine for?

>attempt to bend

Congratulations! You just invested whatever a new clutch line banjo is worth in your wrenching skills.

It's part of learning user, don't feel too bad about it. Those things don't bend, they only break.

OH FUG

I'll give you £50 for it. Take it or leave it. I know what I got.

It's wranons suicidal gf.

Speaking of things that don't bend, i'm not the only one who attempts to bend clutch/brake/shift lever back straight even though they break every time? Like I know that it won't bend but I try it anyway every time.

Also is it possible to put a new banjo on the end of the hydraulic line or do I have to buy a whole new one?

Are hydraulic clutch lines the same as brake lines or are the materials different?

Yes, I learned that lesson now.
>Holy shit tho it costs $60 just for that hydraulic line

Japanese dirt bikes don't have god-tier hydraulic clutches though.

>americans etc etc

yes, I gonna talk to my dad tomorrow and show him the bikes, then I'm gonna contact the seller. I still don't know which one to check out first.
I think the with the blue camo first
I'd like to also look at the from my birthday month and year because "pussy button" :^)
>e start
>some anons KTM breaks
OH FUCKING LMAO
i made this for you.

You're just doing it wrong. It has to be quick. You just have to hit it with a sledge hammer.

>2016 KTM 390 Duke
Thinking about one of these as my first bike. I'm not looking for something to hoon or moto gp around it, just something to commute and enjoy riding.

It's top speed is 104 mph. Is this enough to comfortably cruise going highway speeds (in my area 60-80 mph typically) or will that be pushing the bike a little much.

Not sure the memes behind every manufacturer, so if necessary
>inb4 ktm

I usually just leave mine bent or cut them off.

see >KTM

>Japanese dirt bikes don't have god-tier hydraulic clutches though.

>my bike is on that image twice now
lmao top meme

How about the Yamaha XSR700?

I have about €5k. The SV650 costs around €6.3k and the XSR700 around €8k, so I would have to take a loan for both, however the XSR looks nicer.

maybe it should stop breaking ;^)

But they don't, and never have had them. A cable clutch just can't compare.
>that short engagement range
>that easy pull
>that easy maintenance.

I'm talking street bikes doe. Not dirt bikes.

What do you guys think about the newer vulcans?

daily reminder that honda a shit

>XSR looks nicer

It's alreet

In time once I learn to play mechanic properly and if I stop crashing it I might stop breaking things.

Also you realize I was only ironically blaming the Austrian factories, right?

...

it has no sound

yes I know, but you have to take everything very serious otherwise the KTM defenders don't get mad

that's nice
I've read that the ttr are more fun to ride than the tt600s/e, so personally I would also look at the ttr

>wrenching a lot these days
>still haven't broken anything
I need to step up my game

Honestly KTM dirt bikes are top of the line. Their street bikes however aren't really that great, and are manufactured in India.

but it's also the most expenisve one
but also the newest one

fugg :-DDD

oh shit waddup

come on, those 90€ more don't make the kohl fett
the other ones look also nice thogh

show me what reaction face you hide underneath your helmet

i test rode this, its lame. get something cheaper, you're gonna drop your bike a lot and not make much money back when you sell if you get a new one, and ktm are overpriced.

M8 are you actually doing things properly or something? Start nig rigging shit on there and forcing it to fit.

...

Why?

...

literally half of my income kek
do you want to read the ads?
you can find them easily
just make limit to 2k Euro and search for TT :^)

You know, thats not exactly a bad thing

...

>chilling at red light
>suddenly a huge group of dudes on really dented, fucked up sport bikes show up behind me
>most of them are grills
D-Does this mean I'm not a virgin anymore?

Check out that gas tank dent, how do you even do that without flipping your bike completely over? Even if you did flip it over your body would be in the way.

I'm trying man, fukken Honda wont break
>didn't torque spark plugs
>going to use heat gun on plastics
>literally just now fitted a bolt thats too big and long on a side panel
>used regular off-colour ductape on the handlebar cables
>cleaned electrics underneath dashboard with water
>overfilled it with oil and started it anyway
>didn't replace drain plug washer

they're purposely dented for stuntin' purposes

Remember when you started riding and everything was exciting and new?

With time you develop an understand of what bends and what does not.

You can always check ebay or see if they're breaking a bike similar to yours nearby. If there's any consolation, I managed to break a bolt inside my front fairing cowl and ruin the needle of a speedometer while trying to change the background thingy. Both amounting to around 150€ second hand. You can always be careful, but sooner or later you will fuck something up.

You do know the XSR is a MT07 with some (pardon the term) hipster make up right?

I think the SV650 is a better choice. You will have a much easier time finding parts (both factory and aftermarket), people to help you should you join a forum and if you ever have to sell it, it will be easier. Also, it's about 1700 pounds cheaper.

I do think it looks cleaner and more sober than the XSR. It feels more genuine ya know? The whole XSR "faster sons" thing from Yamaha seems like trying a bit too hard. But that's just me.

also
>fitted tank too high
>plastics wouldn't fit
>forced the plastic bolt thingy in
>mfw nothing broke and I found out the tank was too high

Welp, called my insurance, they're gonna send an adjustor out tomorrow to see if it's a "total loss" or not. Sounds like they have already written it off.

I've asked before, what is the buyback on motorcycles normally? Specifically a supersport

>supersport
kek
Enjoy your lowest BB value and ridiculous increase in premiums.

under my helmet there's another helmet

I couldn't find the first one
but Tbh I think they all look good

...

I know it's a MT07 with a body kit. But that's actually a plus in my book, since the MT07 is a decent and reliable bike. The thing with the SV650 is that it's so meh looking. But what other choice to I have if I want a new (2014 to 2016) bike that doesn't look like a Transformer turd.

you dont know what a stunt bike looks like?
>hivis
lol

I know someone who has dropped their bike on a few cinder blocks, dented the shit of the gas tank, scratched the entire side fairings and engine, peg and lever damage. 500lbs of drop + rock = twisted metal

If I buy it back I'm just gonna insure it as liability. Or not at all and just track it. Besides motorcycle prices are high in my area now, and you don't have to accept a settlement.

Its a recent gen 600, with 6k miles. Plus gear I figure I can get a check for 10k.

>choosing gear on how cool you'll think you look
lol
