[ D a i l y B i k e T h r e a d ] - /dbt/

any of you niggas know the implications of a US national buying a bike and riding it around in the UK while staying there? Do I need any special paperwork or some shit or will my driver license be fine to use as long as it has the M endorsement

Probably the same as over here, just do it and don't get caught.

No, as an American you are free to do whatever the fuck you want to.

that phrase seems to be the epicenter of my entire fucking time over there, so I guess I could take one more risk. I'd pay to ship my DR650 over if it weren't so fucking expensive to do so

nah in yurop i am pretty sure your license plate has to match up with the owner and if a cop punches in your plate and your riding dirty they can catch you.

not as easy as here.

...

suh dude

American license will work if you're visiting. If you stay there for 12 months and longer you'll need a local license.

So how do I make a youtube channel interesting with only a motorcycle and a gopro?

damn, that does look comfy

Thanks for the advice fellas. I'll be dipping out of the UK after 6 months and then fucking around in yurop for a bit so I think my license will be fine.

That being said, are UK residents as likely to try and rip your ass off when selling used bikes like people are in the US?

Yes, but when they do rip you off, it's in pounds sterling.

Good to know, I'll have to be extra careful with my weak american shekels

Lane split at 100+ mph, back with touhou edm arrangements, and just post it.

pretty good day hbu

Is Carly Rae Jepsen close enough?

She looks like she got hit with a board

Does anyone know if new bike warranties begin at the year of manufacture or the date of sale?

...

not her obvi

Your mirrors upset me.

pretty sure it's date of sale.

swear, key bangers, rev at pedestrians, be a soft cunt

How the fuck am I supposed to pick my second bike after a 250? I want everything.

Just depends on what you need your bike for.

I was checking out my spark plugs earlier today and when I went to put them back in one socket was being difficult. I tried another plug but it also had trouble screwing in. I can twist the plug in a bit then it gets stuck, so something must be wrong with the threads.

What are my options here?

It's her Gimpy fin.

you're not putting them in straight. I had this same problem one day it's because a bike is on a kickstand which makes it a difficult angle already and the holes are at yet a different angle

Can I just shitpost Uncle Fatih's Pizza instead?

Right now I'm mostly just riding around town/commuting but I'd like to get something for long distance touring, at the same time though I want to try off road riding.

I also find cruisers, sport bikes, dirt bikes, all equally sexy. This is too hard.

Sportsbikes are objectively the sexiest.

You need to be interesting.

How do I tighten the join at the mirror?

I don't know about that. I had no problem replacing the other plugs. It's getting stuck after a couple turns.

Nah bro

Whats wrong with naked stroms? They are sexy too.
STOP BEING AN OPPRESSIVE SHITLORD

I can also just do one mirror if that's better for you.
But I sort of like the gimpy mirror. Symmetry is boring.

...

jesus rthat's terrible.

Fuck off nobike!

>well then

Maybe.

>what is an international license

Do you talk whilst riding?
If you have no music.

I like to have conversations with myself and practice my regional accents.

Still better than a CuckExtreme500.

Date of sale.
Now the bad part is that the price of bike according to insurance depends mostly on model year. If you buy 2016 and an identical 2013 bike now and total it on the dealer lot, or try to resell it used, 2013 will be hella lot less.

USA licence is not recognized in Europe as you get your license from a corn flakes box.

I sing. No one can hear me but myself, so I sing.
I also sing in the shower.

Sometimes I sing but I'm usually too busy calling everyone a cunt.

No because I'm not crazy

yes I talk when something interesting happens or if someone cuts me off

Wheels not aligned properly?

>tfw you'll never be a monkey

What motorcycles do police in your area ride /dbt/? What do you think they should ride?
I'm in Victoria, Australia, police normally ride six-cylinder BMWs, as this article says they've just bought some Husqy sumos. Personally I think they'd be perfect for urban areas and would look awesome in a movie chase scene.

am I too weak for motorcycle?
>height 5' 7"
>100lb
I was talking to my friend's dad today about motorcycle and he mentioned I should start on a 50cc bike first

Vancouver.
Most police cars are Dodge Chargers
Most cop bikes are on Harleys
The police department has more money than it knows how to spend properly

post boipuccy or gtfo

My vstrom did that 2

He sold it hes nobike, thats why you got to tell him to fuck every time he post.

Visably marked FJR1300's
A unmarked busa and concours.

I'm afraid you will stab your eyes out

DL1000?

The rear sprocket is actually misaligned and needs new custom spacers put on to move wheel to the left by 3mm.

Its a good bike but suzuki really fucked up a few things on it.

>I was talking to my friend's dad today about motorcycle and he mentioned I should start on a 50cc bike first
Your friend's Dad knows how to banter.
Just buy something lightweight that you can flat-foot.

They got squid cops in brazil on r1s

...

>tfw convinced friend to get a baiku
>We went to the dealer and he got a Cspec Bolt
>Had to ride it back because he doesn't have a license
>Finally have a riding buddy as of tomorrow when he gets his permit

ya he is a pretty funny guy. I haven't tried anything yet, guess I'll wait till my MSF course then I'll know where my strength is

That's pretty intense, R1s would probably be terrible cop bikes I imagine.

Certainly not with boring footage of doing nothing.

I slammed on my balls and cussed out my coworker for trying to talk to me while I died.

Touring on a cruiser you say

Jungle people for the amazons engage in high speed chases all the time.

>So cal
>Cops are on BMWs

Out of the big four, which company is being least dickish to USA market?

Filtered ;)

What you can purchase will also depend on where you live. CB250s are pretty universal, lightweight, comfortable, cheap and capable of highway speeds. A CB400 will give you a nice bit more power, torque and style.

lucky when u stood it up and went into the other lane that there was no one there to greet you

Roger that

what does that even mean?

daily reminder that honda a shit

Typical offense is making a good bike and not selling it in US.

Kuck kat

>HARLEY

Or that time a shit tried to sell a 100 HP "motogp" bike.

I just had a cylist in full tight pants try to jump me
>Punches me
>leather clad, slav looking, moderately muscular 190something
I don't know what he was expecting, nor what flabbergasted him that much

The average american exceeds the weight limit for most bikes so they have to make special heavy duty models for usa market.

50cc is great if you can ride them without a real license in your jurisdiction.

not me, that's this guy.

I guess you just pick which of these you don't like the most and that's who's dicking you the least.

I would say yamaha is dicking the most though, they never bother doing good tunes for their bikes to meet US emissions, both this R1 and the last one make HEAPS less power in the USA than in europ

same with the Gen 4 zx-10r too.

Sucks to live in a 3rd world country.
Stay hungry nigger

>meet US emissions, both this R1 and the last one make HEAPS less power in the USA than in europ

I hope you are enjoying those freedoms ;^)
