is this a shoop ?

i know it's a joke but ...

American dbt is always this shit.

FUCKING 2 WEEKS UNTIL NEXT GP

>being such a cuck that you watch other men ride motorcycles

It is two anons that do the shitposting, possibly one but i still think he has a friend.

The burden of proof is on you. Fagget!

american dbt hasn't fully arrived yet.. this is after school dbt

Why do you always post such shit?
I always get blamed for it drop user.

>on Veeky Forums
>having friends

Nice try satan.

>Passed a GS rider with a luminous yellow helmet, high viz and stickers
>Looked like an autistic bike cop
>not gonna miss that dude

Is being seen worth looking that ridiculous ?

Fools, it has nothing to do with Americans, it is 9:30 on the east coast of Australia.

They are all in school.

I added these for not to get stranded again. The gun is for scale.

They have computers in the schools nowadays, all the kids get given laptops by the gubbernment

See
/dat/ hasnt even awoken to shitpost yet m8.

>make new thread
>only one bike webm posted
come on faggots

i started wearing my hi-vis work coat last week after being very nearly (i had to do evasive action or else be) hit on a silver bike i just got on the road

it sort of helps

Thats because we actually like dat and don't want to ruin it.

>the Australian situation

I made the new thread though

Moto-Guzzi

Sure m8. I have read that south australian circle jerk.

No one likes south Australians except for south Australians.

That stuff was like the next purchase aftet my gear when I bought a bike.

Has saved me a few times too.

What does that inflator run off? Batteries?

its a 3.6 litre v6

>raping the bike part fund for new pc
>will suffer soft rear shock all summer
>will spend summer gaming with people half my age
>will start /dbt/ based blog

would a bike like this be ok for a beginner bike to learn on?

how much of a hassle is driving a bike on stop-and-go traffic lads? i've had many hellish days on my standard trans shitbox

I use my power outlet. But you can hook it up to a battery also with the alligator clamps. I think next I will buy one of those lithium powered jump start packs. They are pretty freakin' small now.

depends how stiff your clutch is and how tall and/or heavy your bike is

i have a little 500 which decent in stop and go traffic. it's also water cooled which helps a lot

Not really a hassle unless air cooled on a hot day. What I hate is the drivers who stop 2 car lengths behind the car in front of them at a stop light and then spend the whole wait time for the light to change creeping forward. Shit pisses me off.

Not to bad when I can filter between them.
There's never enough traffic here to filter though.
>just backwater things

not much of a hassle?
you are supposed to filter through stop and go traffic so you don't get butt fucked.

why should it matter if its water cooled? is that something to search for?

Cool. I just have the c02 inflators.

Air cooled bikes overheat when they don't have a moving stream of air flowing through them like when you're actively riding.

because air cooled needs air flow to cool or else it will overheat

It will cook your legs.

water cooling has a fan that blows air over the antifreeze, air cooling doesn't do shit if no air is moving over the heads.

Clutch is nicer on my bike than my shitbox and hill starts are shitloads easier.

...

>rests is tire on the curb
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

i prefer stick in stop and go
put that shit in first and you don't have to touch the gas or the brake ever. just clutch in once in a while

>inb4 riding the clutch

120000 miles, still good, pic related everyday

My GS500 has never overheated in traffic

like true gentlemen, thank you lads.

that's bad! I need these legs for squats and cardio.

why not?

That will overheat a bike.

you stop?...
you don't lane split?

DIRTY TIRES REEEE REEE

my water cooled bike can manage, unless it's super hot out

i was talking about in the car

if it's good bike weather i usually ride the shoulder, lanesplitting is also illegal but i'll do it

the horror

>go visit old man bike friend to talk shop
>"look at your tires user, you lean too far, you're gonna fall over"
>change nothing
>go back a few weeks later
>"look at your tires user, do you even lean?"

are chicken strips just a meme? i ride super soft kendas so the wear will be significant no matter if i'm in the twists for a while or just going on the straight highway

i also habitually lock the rear wheel

This may sound like a stupid question but can someone tell me how I am supposed to drive a ninja 250? Specifically I mean in what RPM range to shift gears and such. I shift around 4k-5k, and the bike feels slow as shit.

coz it's a 2 5 0 !

the bike is slow as shit. but you shift when its a bit closer to redline.

it's a 1/4 of a liter.

>the bike feels slow as shit

>he fell for the "buy a 250" meme

clutch in until you get to 4-5k rpm then let go see how that feels

does that go for all bikes? shift at redlines?

>ride a slow bike slow
>it's slow
A CBR300 will barely put up with shifting at those revs and it's not half as revvy as a Ninja 250.

you can short shift if you want but usually with all ENGINES, you shift at the end of the gear (near redline). otherwise you're shifting into the next gear at a very low rpm. and yes it was kind of a dumb question.

Not only are you no bike you've apparently never ridden in a car before either.

>shift at redlines?
lol no.

It depends what kind of riding you're doing and how close your gears are spaced. If you're just riding around town, you can just shift when the next gear will still be high enough RPM to prevent the engine from lugging when you try to accelerate which is usually about 1.5k-3k to prevent the lugging.

If you're doing speed runs you obviously want to shift closer to red line, but before the power band drops off and your acceleration feels flat(and before you blow shit up).

>tfw 175cc
>tfw no redline

i can still get around most dozers but if anyone tries to beat me i concede pretty quick

>shifting at idle
>prevent lugging
Wat

Unless you ride a big twin with lots of torque, you need to shift at high rpm, especially with a tiny engine.

If your bike is idling at 3k, you have a problem.

Holy shit dude thanks :D

Pretty much exactly what happened. Not like I endangered or inconvenienced anyone in any way.

nah. maybe inconvenienced the stick lodged in some onlooker's ass but nothing important

>endangering construction workers lives

You really are a level 10 retard.

I used my mind control to make her step out in front of me.

dick

i'd have hit you with the sign, wouldn't be the first time

Good thing none of those people you've hit had cameras or else you'd be broke and jobless.

no i wouldn't.
>it has happened

where to buy banana suit? i need to be a gromnana.

I wish there was a traffic cop there to kick your ass.
It's not about "LOL PROBLEM? I DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING!!!!"
It's about not making other bikers look bad by your childish antics.

post mehmehs pls
