The street racing thread?

I actually think that biker might have been ok after the wreck. They only had like 2 lanes closed and he might have been standing in that pic.

HONDA IS A HELL OF A DRUG.

so, monday i'm departing for my first trip with luggage
i'm completely unprepared, what should o know before fucking up?

i'm taking:
a week's clothes in a bag
1 sleeping-bed-burrito thingy
1 rucksack full of books and a laptop

stuff to wash yourself with

that would be included in the bag...
i'm not actually sleeping in the rough, but i'm staying at an ex scout barrack-thingy

xth for I want to build a scrambler so badly

>shaft drive
>drum brake

what is an ex scout barrack thingy?
where are you going? how long do you plan on leaving?
I don't know if I'd take the laptop, kinda beats the purpose, no?

Looking for a pair of casual riding shoes. I want something that I can walk around in and gives some protection when riding.
What should I look for?
Whats the best?
>pic related

i'm not some hippy going on a spiritual journey
just me and my mates going in a scenc place
the laptop and books are for studying

oh, and i'm leaving for a week

>caring

It'd be mostly because of fun mechanical tinkering and probably to resell after I'm done

You should be fine. I have learned that you usually need less than you think on trips

>wr gone mad
or should you be tt now

Just postan sexy pics, I wouldn't work on a guzzi

my main concern is that i only have 1 rear beg and some passenger handles to tie shit to

>what's a somewhat heat resistant material?
>my main concern is something rubbing on the exhaust or faloling off

>fixed carbs
>now the electric system is going at it

IT NEVER ENDS

EVER

>adjustable shocks
>Shit tires

How do you fellow ATGATT faggots deal with the heat? Like, just putting on the jacket and helmet I feel like I'm going to get heat stroke, and that's before adding gloves and the actual engine warmth.

Also, what do you do with your gear on hot days? I can lock the helmet to the bike no problem but have no idea where/how to stash my jacket. At work it's not an issue, but on days like today when I just wanna go to Ribfest....the fuck am I supposed to do?

either you deal with the risk of squidding or you buy light gear

Drink water and bring a back pack

Open all the vents in jacket, use a camelback.
When I'm at my destination I can stuff all my gear into my cases.

Fuck squidding.

But then I have to carry the backpack around. Plus the bag I have blocks the rear vents on my jacket.

Not sure if my jacket will fit in my saddlebags. and even if it did I don't trust drunken white people not to steal my shit.

Appreciate all the advise though.

What about a legitimate back pack?

Squidding is p comfy senpai

Until you fall

Buying gear appropriate for the weather.

Then don't fall. And don't fall with gear either.

fuck off nobike

>buy for $1675
>pay $200 in taxes/registration/title
>pay $622 for carburetor cleaning/rebuild, tire inflation, chain lubing, and some replacement bolts
>6k miles

did i do bad for a beginner bike? its a 2005

>Triggered

...

>its a 2005
pic unrelated then?

no, thats the bike. 2005 ninja 250

ahhhh, wasn't thinking 250

Why did you spend 600 on the carbs?

>nobike

Because that's an decision you make yourself

well cumed, sir

I asked three shops in the area if they would clean/rebuild my carburetors. Two of them said sure but I would have to wait two weeks. One of them said no it's too much labor and they also told me that the other two shops lied to me and they just didn't want to bother cleaning them either.

Found some lone wolf in the ghetto and he quoted me $622. Really wanted to ride so I accepted. On the bright side, it runs fucking amazing now. But I am guessing I got ripped off p hard.

Do you have a friend around an can store your gear in his car?

I agree

Yeah a lil bit. You could have done it yourself tbqh

>they also told me that the other two shops lied to me
kek you actually listened to them

Oh yes oh yes oh yes oh yes

FUGG!!!!

>trying to convince my mom to get a Grom
>mostly so that I can whip it

>being a nyfag

>mfw german flags are suddenly everywhere again
European soccer championship makes the villages look fine

>soccer

This. Comfy as fuck, and look good. Vaders a best.

there's just one Championship you should be excited about

I will purchase an S1000RR as my first bike.

yes you have to spell it that way so that Americans understand
think of them the next time you try to tell us something, they're not like the rest of us.

why not work on a guzzi? Curious?

Bikes are shitbikes when you can loop the fucker, drop it in a ditch, otherwise damage it but will still run and function and you don't particularly care about it.

Generally they're either super cheap/super old/super shitty, or you have a ton of money and no respect for your property

>muh handegg

If youre still here senpai, drench yourself in water.

Literally submerge your tshirt in the sink before putting the suit on, throw some water into your helmet, and make sure to bring around 1 liter of water per hour you'll be outside. Bring some isotonic tablets if you can too.

By the end of my first toogay run in 40°C Mediterranean weather my tshirt is already dry. By the end of the second one I'm questioning if this ride was a sane idea at all.

On really really 40+ hot days if I go out in full leathers I start to get dizzy and my pressure drops. Avoid the hottest hours, its not fun.

Or you can just go full on fuck the world without a condom and squid. It's an unequalled feeling.

WE'RE ALL GONNA MAKE IT user
ON THIS BIKE OR THE NEXT ONE
we'll have something that works ._.

>tfw gear whine at exactly 55 mph in 4th gear
all you fags with silent gears are missing the fuck out

Hello guys, next year i'm buying my first bike and getting the license for it. (A2)

I'm looking at the KTM 690 SMC R atm, it looks sick and i want to play with it when i ride.

Anyone got any advice for a similar starting bike? or is this really it for monkeydriving?
