Daily Bike Thread

I was thinking of getting a 2009 CRF230L
Pls no bully i'm new
Lol

Do it. Don't let your dreams be dreams.

Victory and indian are both owned by Polaris

Guess I'm just delusional then. Huh.

I'm seriously considering it lol
Anything I should know before I one?

Nah, Harley doesn't own shit besides Buell. Both Victory and Indian are owned by Polaris though.

Ok

buell that's what I'm thinking of.
There's a Harley dealer right next to the Indian dealer here so i always think they're connected

How to ride

Indian/victory>harley

Well yeah they're a Minnesota company

Murica

Lol I'll learn by using it. I'll have to take a course though I ant to be able to drive it on the road

Well you can start on trails which is nice because road riding is obviously smoother so the transition won't be difficult once you get a license

Do we have any sport bike companies? Something other than cruisers, or is Harley the closest because the jap 4 are stationed here

I have a place right by my house I can goto. Can't wait

no u

Nope. But the victory octane is pretty nice

We should start one
Daily bike tradition or something like that

Meh. I'm happy with my rolling couch though

There's EBR.

Truly the last great American hope

Murica as fuck

truly great

*clapping intensifies*

Already went bankrupt once lel. Theres no place for new baiku manufacturers

I thought they went down the shitter [again] several months ago.

Correct, they had to file something similar to bankruptcy because they didn't get a large sum of money owed by an Indian company (Hero).

Basically EBR designed a ton of motorcycles for them, but Hero never paid them.

They were bought out by an American industrial machinery company, though, and have returned to production.

Zero is an American company.

>Buying 100yo tech
>Expecting it will work flawlessly

Oh hey, I'm getting my bike tomorrow

Be sure to ride it like you stole it

Not the SV though, I'm getting my cbr back but frankly at this point I don't even care what bike I get to ride as long as it's got a motor. Fuck, I've even started enjoying cycling

...

Buell has been around for decades, Erik left because he was tired of Harley's shit. And now he's no longer CEO which is good because he's an engineer not a businessman so hopefully it'll work out.

>Dresses like a power ranger and rides something that sounds like an ostrich got it's dick stuck in a fan

>The guy that looks like The Terminator is gay.

...

This is bait

What happens if I go in the red line? Will I die?

You start memeing like you've never memed before

this kek

You transform into a super saiyan

Where can I get something like this for my CBR? Riding in the rain with a tail tidy results in gravel and shit all over my back and seat. Should I look for a shop and ask for a fabrication?

pls I don't have a rev limiter and I'm scared

life is suffering. At least I have a Miata..

how's the Miata meme treating you? debating miata or mustang for my first shitbox.

I love the shit out of it, but then again I don't give a shit about the gay jokes or it being a meme car. It drives well and is reliable. But slow. I won't deny it. But it hold like glue in the corners.

>hear loudass exhaust incoming

reminder not even other bikers are impressed by straight pipes.

fugg :^DD

Neat wheels

Only reason I'm not leaning towards it is I live in the grid-road city where the best corners are highway roundabouts.

They're whatever; Rota Fighters. It's the Dunlop Drizzera Z2 R compound's that do the real work.

sounds perfect.

> 9 days until departure
Pretty excited desu.

Put your fender back on.

Is that really how you buy weed in NY? I am so sorry.
And in Colorado we have lots of curvy's. But if I lived somewhere like Florida or Texas where it's straight roads and cloverleafs, i'd probably get a moostang for highway pulling and burnouts.

get in the super secret chat you nigger

but the cameras will see my plate

I is on phone tho
we all gonna make it, right?

Ahahaha of course not.

>deranged SUV driver squeezed a pass on my right while I was about to turn
>was so close that he broke my turn signal
story of that pic

You can sleep in a tent with me if you know what i mean. Prep your boipucc

thanks for offer, but I sleep under stars the best
or innawoods, I'll build a bear grylls survival hut
that's exactly what I expected.
>inb4 every SEM someone dies until there's only one left and this one is depressed and suicides

I don't know anything about cars but they look good.

Just to let you know, my tent is always open for you

>Dunlop Drizzera Z2 R compound

Pump the brakes, kid. My DD has Direzza Z2 Star Specs like the ones I can clearly see on your miata, they are NOT R compound tires.

DELET

What's that site that shows you all the helmet specs?

thanks man
you mofos don't even have one set up atm or nah

>tfw not a yuropoor
Why is North America so big?

One on the discord bullsheizer

Czeck the emails you fuck

Nobody in that pic is dressed like a power Ranger. I am confuse

ayy
lmao
it ain't working
I will sleep now
good night-o

Fucking useless piece of shite

It's a wee bit warm outside today.
Figured I'd stop at the strip to rehydrate and check out all the eye candy.

Hopefully everyone else is having an eventful Thursday

who here /vape in their helmet/?

>have magnetic tank bag
>replace stock (steel) gas tank on DR650 with plastic Acerbis tank
>magnetic tank bag no longer usable so I decide to ride to Cycle Gear to look for a new one
>the Cycle Gear store near me only has 2 different tank bags in stock, both are magnetic
>buy a RAM X-Grip so I can mount my phone on my handlebars and leave

They have like 100 different tank bags on their website but only stock 2 of them in the store...

>They have like 100 different tank bags on their website but only stock 2 of them in the store...
Well duh most of their stores are the size of a 7/11, what did you expect, a warehouse?

what the fuck is the vaping shit?
is it code for smoking ice?
thats what use do with those e cigarettes isnt it?
little ice rock in the butt then party all day, fuck i hate your generation.

toplol

The one near me is pretty big actually. They had at least 15 different models of soft saddlebags but only 2 backpacks and 2 tank bags. I wasn't expecting their entire online catalog, just 5 or 6 different tank bags (at least 2 with straps instead of magnets) would've been great.

listen here, grandpa, simply because you don't understand something doesn't mean you have to shout and get the water hose out. go back inside and watch matlock

Fukken meth addicts, why don't you poofs use a proper crack pipe to twirl your shardie?

>watch matlock

Better than the shit you and uncle bob injected in between your toes, you old coot
