wranon you might be the worst decision maker in history

w-why?

it's taking you one year to get a fucking A2

anybody here is trying vermintide on steam?

I'm downloading

>dropping dream baiku for old shit tt600
>poor management of money
>A2 takes way too long
>selling WR and not having a bike lined up, being nobike for weeks

why

well yes, that's really stupid.

gud lemme now when you done

move your residence to r65 user and get your licence there, then move it again

If I sell the CRF am I still allowed to shit post on dbt?

the tt600 was a good choice imho

What do I do, senpaitachi.

Dude accepted my price, but I'm nervous cause it's been up for a month.

>why wont you love me anymore, user?

there's nothing wrong with that bike

have you checked it out in person? If it looks good then buy it, who gives a shit how long it has been there

I'm not sure if that would work because I'd have to register at a driving school again
>dropping a not street worthy bike for a bike that can actually be driven on road
>no money for A2 before winter
>im Winter not able to do A2
>buying a bike when you don't even have A2
made everything pretty sense imho

>tfw wind up with a vehicle for every purpose
>tfw paying all those taxes
>tfw they are all too nice to trade on craigslist

sometimes I just wish I had a beater or two around JUST so I could swap for interesting shit on craigslist. I've owned as many as five vehicles at a time as a single guy and I'm currently down to four as a married guy (3+bike). I do have three trailers, two tractors and a mini excavator tho...

post pics of bike in excavator bucket

>work 3-4 months at normal job
>get missing 1500€ together
>now have klx450 and A2

WR version
>ride wr125 for one more year
>save up neetbucks
>buy klx450 and A2

the TT600 is fine by itself but come on, you'd take the 450 over it if you had the choice or no?
Also I've seen street legal ones with 50hp, or not road worthy because of maintenance?

probably because nobike beta cucks keep talking themselves out of buying it

>a mini excavator
noice
can it willy?

more like
>sell WR
>have 2600 europes
>pay 50 for registration in driving school
>pay 40 bucks a month in fuel

>after august no work
>no Harz IV
>no neetbucks
>no income at all
>payed 50 fro driving school but never took A2
>be nobike and keep on crying about tfw no klx

>street legal ones with 50hp
where?
here the max power you get in the papers is 20 hp or something
not roadworthy because it's a fucking race bike, a 450 single cylinder with a 8 l fuel tank can't ride on the road for shit, and maintanace yes
I don't even know anymore what I would have taken

I'm mad and desperate

This is why I want to get rid of the CRF. The thing eats DRZs 400s, WR250s and WR450s, but it's so janky. I mean. That's part of the appeal but it's always pissing coolant all over and leaking fluids from the vents after 2 stop lights, it feels weird after riding around town for an hour, and it's so light you get blown all over the fucking place. I love it don't get me wrong but it feels like I'm driving a rally car around city streets. It's pretty awesome but there is not much practicality to be found.

>can it willy?
yes, especially when loading it onto a trailer

If I remember when I go out

post dank whoolie webms of excavator

>hellllllllla windy out
>hoping power stays on

hold me

>2 dude-Broz exhaust
Into the trash it goes.

>only america things

..k

I'm gonna go look at it. Still scared tho

I've got underground lines, but they have to be above ground somewhere.

no

Look at used bike buyers guide and that will give you an idea of what to look for. Do you have a friend who knows bikes that can go with you? The sv650 is a wonderful bike that's easy to learn but hard to master. Completely different animal than a 250 and 600cc. I've owned 4 vtwins, I can assure you they're fun.

>magic hour at the festival
>gf's got one of those no sleeves, all boobies shirt
feels goodman
Wish i'd shared more
>ex got a cold :^)

I thought you had like 3,5k available in bucks, ok then. Also why not work at McD or some shit, they take everyone and you earn way more than 200/month.

I knew it was a hassle with racebikes but I thought if you're looking for a racebike you're looking for that sweet power, offroadability and not for comfort/practicality in the first place. But I guess you reconsider your needs after actually riding one for a while

>if you're looking for a racebike you're looking for that sweet power
yes that's what racebikes are for, but I don't race professionally, I just want to ride with some friends
>and I thought I could make it to the SEM
and a KLX 450 ain't no good for a ride from germany to Bled with luggage

and I can't work at McD because social interaction and I need to make an apprenticeship soon because no one will hire someone who is 20 years old with no knind of knowledge of a job

No biking friends. As for in-person inspection, I'm going off the advice from YT videos, unfortunately.

Hell, I found some curvy roads in Iowa of all places. Not proper twisties, but still. Also, covered bridges are neat.

>200 europes
>a month
>200

SEND HELP

he gets neet bux too

I wish

I don't get any kind of financial support, only these 200 bucks

Good ride through Piancavallo and Barcis today.

I will send you
>deez nutz

also I saw some racing motorcycles and snowmobiles today. shit was cool, the snowmobile was in the 11s.

dear dbt,
how much is a reasonable amount to spend on a first bike?
how much did you spend on your first bike?

I wouldn't spend more than $3500
I spent $3000

>reasonable
less than 4k
>how did you spend?
600 on my first bike that I sold for 900 a month later, my first full size regular bike I bought for 800. no ragrets.

What's the best place to find out used prices on bikes? It seems most places I look on US Craigslist (even places hundreds of miles away from me), the prices are always pretty high.
And then when I read on forums and shit, people say they found good condition, low miles bike for waaaay lower than the bikes are listed for on CL or KBB.
Are people sucking massive amounts of dick to get a discount or what? I have to sift through all this overpriced shit on CL and I can't find what an actual reasonable price would be.

>Piancavallo
That's where people with eating disorders go,

>Barcis
Noice. go check out Cimolais and the road to ampezzo

I spent $650 plus another $1000 in repairs.

something about 1k for my first bike
wouldn't spent more than 3 grand on first bike

craigslist. look harder and near cities, or post up on local facebook pages or make friends with the bikers.

Will do, thanks.

$1500, if I remember correctly.

Now I just got to take my left rear turn signal apart and see why it's intermittent. I think one of the soldered wires has come undone.

Also...
>take time off work
>get 7 days off total

FCUK!

is revzilla a memestore?

I wouldn't call it that, but the people who put the videos together are... amusing. Prices are comparable to other retailers.

>25 C°
>I'm fucking suffering

Oh boy, I don't know why but I've become extremely susceptible to temperature changes in the past few years.
Can't wait for the 40° heat wave.

Best I can do

>tfw no 800GS

memezilla is p great

qt

sask user?

>would think motorcycle track days would be cheap because track ready sport bikes are cheap
>they're not at all
Doing every track day at the shitty local track would be $2700/season on entry fees alone.

Nah closer to the mountains than that at least but I'd still go through a tank of gas just getting somewhere interesting.

git gud

Alberta a shit

>track
Just roadrace, you squid

>not a single bie that I like that cost less than 500€ in insurance

Fuck europe.

yea well you can thank insurance and safety nannies for that.

there was a time when open track days were pay at the gate and the track was completely open the entire day which would make 2700 worth it.

what about TW

>story

how's that bike helping you get that gf user?

>tfw a female friend cuts you out of her life because her bf doesn't like her talking to you
Going out to get my dick sucked by a fuck buddy later but I just feel numb. Hope I can still get it up.

Hold me /dbt/ bros. (except kit kat, I don't want your cuddles)

are you retarded?

that's kind of a dick move. just don't be salty if she breaks up and wants you back as a friend and you have boundaries.

also eat some ice cream or something.

FUCK OFF NORMREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>tfw when changing valve cover gasket yourself

I feel like a real mechanic now.

>tfw 2 instructed track days are 430€

I pay 180€/year for a 150hp bike with no claims bonus.
I'd pay 360€ / year as a complete noob.

For my A2 bike I didn't even pay 100€/year

Just do it anyway m8

IKTF

>For my A2 bike I didn't even pay 100€/year

How many cc?

700€/year, though soon to rise
>Fuck germoney
FTFY

500

$2200/year here, Canadia sucks sometimes

Doesn't sound like much of a friend.

>tfw $140/year was the highest I've ever paid for m/c insurance
>tfw $110/year on 1300cc baiku feels like a rip off after getting used to ~$90/year on 500cc

Fuck Europe indeed. I'd go postal if scamsurance was trying to cuck me out of $500 shekels.

>mfw road legal quad bikes

>340 Euros for a F800 GS
lol nigga you should move or get a better insurance

>sometimes

DUDE WEED LMAO

>tfw change oil and spark plugs and starter solenoid

Prolly just young
Just want to add that i'm 18 and that bike is a 750
Git gud at legalese
Noce quad
>land of the free
Quads are p. Awesome when you are not trying to use them as dirtbikes

Just got done with my first time ever riding a motorcycle...all I am going to say is don't listen to these retards that tell you to start on 600cc bikes. I was using some ancient Kawasaki Eliminator 125cc and it was giving me a run for my money.

What's a good first bike nothing stupid fast and nothing pigfat

>Prolly just young
the GS was for 19 year old on A2 limit insured
>road legal quads
aw ye

trust me on this, you will grow out of the 125 in a month or less
