Can we agree that's a shitty render and end it?

baz is a big guy
4u

>because you were born a normal sized man
yup, that's the reason. totally not because you are a slowfag

it may be a shitty render but it's not a fucking parallel twin.

KTM fuckin up

kawi fucked up

Don't forget

Gonna ride to work tomorrow for the first time in the hope of gaining a little street cred.

> it probably will make it worse

>Not riding to work every day
wew lad

>wagecuck trying to reclaim some freedom
Trust me, you stop giving fucks and suddenly your life gets a whole lot easier

>he thinks street cred is a thing

Well that's cool and shit but... why

I wanted black or tri but it was sold out. Repsol looks pretty nice in person though.

>riding season
Fuck that. I'm riding in the rain.
>plebian choice
Yeah true, look above.
Thanks though, and yeah the YZF is hot as fuck,it's what I originalky wanted. Tbh I don't know what you are talking about with the 100/80 130/70 thing tho

>ride to work in may
>third shift
>low was like 58
>starts raining on my way out
>50 minute ride
Coldest i've ever been in my entire life ever.

>Repsol looks pretty nice in person though.

It does, until it gets ever so slightly dirty, then it looks totally shitty. My buddy still rides his Repsol CBR125, and he rides it daily so the orange wheels get dirty really quickly, then it looks awful.

Also you'll feel like a total tool when you pull up at the lights, and somebody on a Repsol 600 or 1000 pulls up next to you. That's the main reason I didn't get one.

>buy a bike in december
>it finally gets above freezing so I bundle up and ride out
>end up staying out after dark
>have to ride home in the rain at night after it dropped like 10 degrees

AH HA HA HA HA, dude, my low limit for riding in my town is 27F, as long as there's a clear path, I'll ride with snow on the ground XD Gotta ride when you can man.

Oh,that fucking blows. Well it's technically my first bike, so I planned to take good care of it anyway. I will be able to wash it daily.
And it's fine. Here in Norway I will be lucky to see a fellow biker at all.
>tfw a guy on a duke 1290 nodded to me today
>t-thanks you too

Confirmed. 60mph windchill is a painful.

>you'll feel like a total tool when you pull up at the lights

the reason you never get a 125cc ""sportbike"", even gs500 will laugh at you hard because you can't keep up on your REPSOL SUPASPORT

I wouldn't nod at a scooterfag like you

I didn't mind having a 125 sports bike because it was fun to ride, but I made sure I didn't get a race livery because it just wrote cheques the bike couldn't cache. I don't think there's anything wrong with getting that body style though.

when i wave scooters it's always by accident.

>hurr muh superior height
>implying it's your height that makes you a completely shit and slow as hell rider
There are quite a few tall, fast riders, you just suck dick

Err... ok? It's not like I asked for a nod or anything

kek, he didn't wave though. And people in Norway don't really care about engine size, they are just happy to see fellow bikers riding around. Happy place.

race me irl fgt

Hey I would do it for fun senpai. I don't mind getting shat on

>I don't mind getting shat on
hey buddy, wana make $10 tonight?

just learn how to wheelie to gain rep. You'd prob be able to get it higher than most users here if you're not a puss and you can use the clutch properly.

would an avg temp of 0~℉ be too cold for regular winter riding?
Wind chill can drop it to -30 easy though

even if you had great gear for the cold, you tires would be like hockey pucks.

yeah you'll die

Oi lad, sounds good

Why. Why do I need rep. Why do I need to be cool. Sure I would love to willy and and ride fast and all that nonsense, but for gods sake, I'm just glad I got a bike. Bikes are fun. I wanted a bike. For fun. Not to be cool

wheelies ARE fun you nigger

...

Did you read the post? I would willy for fun. I would love too. But not to gain rep, as user said

>earplugs all the time
>become of the very VIP tinnitus club anyway

God damn it.

Why are bike engines mounted backwards?
Why is the outlet port facing forward and the intake backwards?

>never earplugs
>ears are fine

I don't have a stupid loud bike tho

reminder that honda a shit

for fun

>just do it pussy

Probably fuel delivery. You have a carb or a throttle body behind the intake, followed by possibly an airbox.

did super america meet ever happen?

just wait

Why not place it forwards...
Where air is rushing towards?

I do. Sometimes when I ride near walls the sound of the exhaust bounces back and it vibrates my entire skull.

I wonder how professional pilots deal with these things.

Because having the exhaust in the middle would make the fucking thing melt along with your balls, now it's in the front where you can get airflow on the headers, also the induction and fuel delivery systems are tucked safely behind the engine away from debris and mud. There's a reason all inline engines and thumpers have the headers towards the front and all V-engines to the side: airflow.

here you go, header pointing backwards. happy?

>did super america meet ever happen?
Supposed to happen in a few weeks.

>125cc repsol

Why.

I don't think so, did it die?
>yuropoors do fun shit
>muhrica: w- we can t- too!
>fail miserably
>sem2 most likely a resounding success

SUPER AUSMEET when?

Thinking about it.

We'd have to do regional ones. Nobody is gonna ride 40 hours to hang out

given by his comments afterwards, he's a little bitch. Also a yuropoor

My vtwin goes down and then to the tail, but this

>Nobody is gonna ride 40 hours to hang out
Buncha fuckin pussies I say

...

Yes
>most badass engine "face" ever

still towards the front technically

>Yeah boss ima need 2 weeks off to ride cross country for 2 days of camping
Yeah sure

1983 Nighthawk 650 with 19,000 miles for $1300, should I go for it?

>Not getting 5 weeks of paid vacation every year
How's it feel like being poor?

>Never wear earplugs
>even when fabricating shit, using angle grinders, air compressors, etc
>Still no tinnitus

Heat reasons yes

Honda actually mounts the engine "backwards" in their MotoGP bikes to reduce the gyro effect (crankshaft spinning opposite direction than wheels) and it makes a slight but noticeable difference in turning. Tradeoff is complex engineering that wouldn't be viable for streetbikes.

>it takes him a week to ride 40 hours
kek

That's what the yuros did, don't have it in you?

More like
>hey, yuros are having fun
>we should have fun too
>let's meet up
whole continent to explore, no borders or bullshit laws
>hei, guise let's go to de snek :DDDDD

It is cumulative, so enjoy being deaf the last half of your life.

Also the effect is so negligible it's innoticeable outside track environments with race machines and world-class riders

>Implying I expect to live past 50

Feels bad.
Hopefully graduating and getting a real job will change it
>fell for the college meme

Sounds good to me
>don't bother gramps, che can't hear anyway

>>sem2 most likely a resounding success
We'll need to wait and see the survival rate before we go saying that.

>no borders
Applies to EU, too.
>no bullshit laws
Yeah really depends on the state.
>snake
Why even? There are an endless multitude of twisty roads equal to or greater than the overhyped and overpopulated Snake.

yeah that on top of that, just not worth it for street bikes.

That sucks lad, I'm sorry.

Restricted. And Norway is honestly not poor.

>Snake
>Why even

That's the point he was trying to make, I think.

You'll need very good heated gear to not be miserable in the cold. And even then any small ice patch in the road could be a death sentence.

Just because your country isn't poor doesn't mean you aren't.

If you're in mid-California, route 88 has some of the most amazing mountainside curves I've seen in a long while.

EU is full of borders
>As an example, until the 28th i'm not allowed to leave my country
>Anyone who had to pass through France had to get helmet stickers
>No modifications, Italy and germany don't like those
>most passes are a pissing contest between forest patrol and local police over who can screw with more motorcyclists
Fucking hell, i'd easily abandon my family to fuck off in one of your deserts and all you can think of is le twisty canyon road?

Well, I'm not. Does that work? My bike choice doesn't really have anything to do with money.

>too young to buy big bike
>still able to buy brand new Jap 125
>poor
Not him but I dunno, m8.

They're actually going to the dragon, not the snake. And it's not just riding that one road and leaving obviously. The dragon is just a landmark that most riders want to visit at some point, so they're going to meet in that area and then explore the Appalachian twisties.

Thanks for believing in me and my economical safety, user

except 125cc bikes are cheap as hell even brand new.

Do the French actually enforce the helmet reflector shit? I intend to have some with me when I go but I'm not putting them on unless I have to.

>thinking a brand new jap 125 is alot of money

>>sem2 most likely a resounding success
Yeah just like the first one
>bunch of anons riding super slow
>half of them crash
>one dies

I bet you had a whole bunch of them when you were 18, right?

I had a dirtbike that was more expensive than that turd when I was 16.

It cost me 5.3 k dollarydoos. And as I said, bike choice has nothing to do with money.
