It's used and I like it. So im ok with a dealership.

you're really okay with a stealership jewing you out of 1,000 extra bucks on a used motorcycle?

Why do you believe I won't be able to drive a motorcycle? Seriously.
I said I'm gonna learn it, I didn't say it doesn't take any effort or something like that. It's not like I plan to do stupid shit, I just need to drive home safely.

"Learn it" takes year You don't just throw money at a school until you're magically able to skip there tiers

Brand new rider so wearing anything like this is completely new to me. I put them on and decided to test out the flexibility etc. by squatting and moving around. When I would bend my knees and squat, the back part of the waistband got yanked down by their rigidity and stretched against my butt and that felt kind of annoying. I'm about 6'1'' and very slim with a 30 waist. I got a size 30 but the elastic waist is still kind of loose and gets yanked down when I did that squatting/bending motion. I know they're not designed to be comfortable, but at the same time I have no idea if this means it's a bad fit, or if that's just a normal thing that happens because of the rigidity of leather pants. Any comment/advice is welcome. Thanks. >pic related

They're built for when you're in a riding position, also agvsport is shit.

user we answered this last thread.
And if they're leather, condition them. And they'll break in once you start wearing them more.

I only bought a motorcycle because life is shit.

How often do people die on a bicycle? How often do you see numales on a motorcycle?
Nolan Adams
>How often do people die on a bicycle? In my tiny country 190 people die each year on a bicycle.
>How often do you see numales on a motorcycle? Look around here
Gavin Bell
but youre also high test look in the real world too dingus, also you see a lot of numales on Veeky Forums refusing to ride a motorcycle because "its too scary"
Jordan Edwards
>look in the real world too dingus See them often enough. They hide behind their black visor.
Levi Brown
In Florida the numales stick to cars, I rarely if ever see a numale on a sports bike

used to pull mad tail when I was injecting 4 different types of test into my thighs twice a week while squidding on a bike.
don't judge me, I lived somewhere it was legal.
Leo Bell
/pol/ can you fuck off, or at least shut the fuck up about your idiotic "numale" obsession? We ride because it's fun. Those who ride for status and to "look manly" are no different than the weekend Harley boomers.

She went out with a bang.
Her last gift was drenching me in gasoline, soaking everything from the interior of my helmet down to my socks, making sure i was nice and woozy from the noxious gases for my stay in the Er.
Cooper Jones
At least she didn't end you with a bang and ignition
Henry Howard
it's never felt so good to have not been burned alive.
Andrew Nelson
desu he's probably a scooter numale
Julian White
I always kek when I see someone on a scooter, why didn't they just save 500 extra bux for a motorcycle? so they drive around on a faggot-o-bile and has nobody pay them any respect
I also make sure to hoon and rev-bomb around them

Adam Morgan
What I don't understand about scooter riders is they never have any gear on except maybe a helmet. It's like they think a motorcycle is so dangerous but a scooter is safe? Scooters don't accelerate or maneuver nearly as well as a motorcycle so you're at more of a risk if shit gets sticky and you need to get out of a situation.
Parker Wood
that's a nice pic I didn't catch that scenery in the background
Landon Evans
A lot of scooterbros just ride in cities, so they probably don't get up to much more speed than a bicycle
Brayden Wilson
I don't think the average cyclist is doing 25-45 mph like most city roads are
Landon Green
And how am I gonna learn how to drive it without driving it? I just need to not fall, again what's the problem?
Charles Lee
Some people have a natural talent when it comes to photography, many do not.
Jordan Jenkins
>"Learn it" takes year and accidents. It takes years and accidents.
Adrian Robinson
Nearly everyone i know who has a scoot jumps through hoops to have as little protection as possibile
Some wear their helmets back to show their hair, some put them backwards with no straps Noone has a full face and only one has a modular
Parker Taylor
>I just need to not fall, again what's the problem?
you need to learn to see into the future and have impossible reflexes. even then, it wont save you from blind mexicans with 3rd world tier driving abilities.
Blake Lopez
They restrict movement so you do not hyper extend you legs during a crash.
Wyatt Lopez
its because they know they'll look like a giant faggot with full on gear on a scooter, Especially since both guys and girls will ask what they ride when they carry it around
Ayden Foster
dbt can you count the amount of times you have crashed a motorcycle? personally its in the hundreds, i lost count years ago.
Isaac Wilson
4 over the last (first) year
all of them low sides
Robert Allen
negative camber on the corner caught him there. he ded?
Cooper Walker
I don't find my pictures bad, I just focussed to much on the bikes instead of the scenery
I think he survived, he didn't even get hurt badly
Anthony White
ive never managed to low slide a road bike touch wood.
My best highside was showing off in front of a bunch of girls i know, came flying up toward them with the rear wheel locked completely sideways. hit a rut and flew off the bike to a running landing.
Isaac Young
I lowsided because chit tires because 1 time I came into a corner too hot and the other 2 other times its because I braked too hard with my chit tires.
tip: get decent tires and brake correctly
Zachary Bell
2 1- Low side exiting the garage because of the floor beeing wet. (bent the handlebar) 2- Riding on mud on street tyres. (Broken mirror and broken bone in left hand)
Ryan Reyes
0 because I'm not retarded.
Owen Flores
I remember one day i ate shit over 60 ft triples, front wheel washed out on the down ramp after hitting a dried up puddle, was probably doing around 80 km/h, bike rolled over me while i was on the ground and everything, had a tiny graze on my right arm that was it, had like 15 people running over thining i was all kinds of fucked up
Ryder Lewis
You mean because you are slow right?
Luis Flores
No I mean because I have less than a thousand miles under my belt :^)

Alexander Perez
I haven't done much after the SEM either I've been working three hours a day after the SEM, then I did literally nothing for the rest of the days. And I started drinking coffee now. I don't know if that's good or bad
Landon Jenkins
I don't have that, just luck out sometimes. And I make like 10-20 photo's per picture that is acceptable.
Your pictures are pretty good, being focussed on the bikes during a bike holiday isn't a bad thing. Most pictures I took are of nature or the people, so can post barely any here.
Joshua Ward
Nigga I've seen shit when it comes to that. I used to drive with my scooter in the snow uphill with faggots that come from the different direction.
But seriously, I just need to learn how to practically drive and be able to not fall, nothing else. All the rest will come with time and driving experience.
You think I'm crazy if I believe I can do that?
Jason Morris

Dropped the bike at the MSF course
Then went down on a sandy road with a sharp left going into a right hairpin
Easton Bell
that's a very nice picture, too. thanks. >Most pictures I took are of nature or the people, so can post barely any here. Yeah, with only bikes on the pictures I can post most of them here

Ian Robinson
been riding for 12 years crashed 3 times on a motorcycle (not including dirtbikes) 1) driving a cb750f custom super sport. Being a novice, low-sided on gravel 2) riding a klr 650 on a winding mountain road when my headlight cut out and I had to swerve off the road to avoid oncomming traffic 3) some blind mexican with no license must have thought my motorcycle was an evil spirit or something and jumped across the lane at the last second and drilled me head on
Cameron Cooper
>3) some blind mexican with no license must have thought my motorcycle was an evil spirit or something and jumped across the lane at the last second and drilled me head on on a 2015 ktm super duke 1290r
Gabriel Price
Once, Msf course. During emergency stop practice I turned the wheel for some reason after stopping and I went down with it. It was pretty funny.
Andrew Howard
sorry for your lots
Julian Brooks
its that feeling you get when you're driving down a road and 50 yards ahead you see a vehicle parked and you just know they're going to open the door on you.
sure enough, when you get right next to it they do and you skid hard till your bike is sideways and accelerate to straighten yourself out and avoid danger
Jeremiah Gomez
Nope, he survived believe it or not. He broke five vertebrae and needed two 10-inch steel rods fixed to his spine, also fucked up his left arm, with two plates and 16 screws being fitted to hold the multiple fractures together. Plus, he had massive ligament damage to his knee.
The best part is he went straight back to racing as soon as he could, and is fucking great at the TT.
Carter Baker
that bike was a champion. the destruction has less to do with ktm quality and more to do with 1st world meets 3rd.
actually, never-mind. The fact that the gas tank exploded and soaked me in gasoline is scary as fuck and I would never buy a ktm again...
i just dont think my passion for street bikes is greater than my not wanting to be burned alive.
When she was fit though, I feel in love with her all over again everyday
James Barnes
>The fact that the gas tank exploded and soaked me in gasoline
Eli Scott
On the road? twice.
Racing? Too many to count, such as pic related.
Adam Butler
In my small Euro country about 40 people die on a motorcycle, and 20 people die on a bicycle a year. So it's not all that different.
Joshua Scott
1 on the street, untold millions on dirt.
Samuel Evans
I should at 73 pedestrians died as well last year, so walking is a lot more dangerous than motorcycling.
Luis Brown
Damn he kicked his right foot peg off
Cameron Martinez
coffe is good.
Welcome to the family
Jackson Moore
>implying anyone on /dbt/ except me can appreciate a goldwing
Love those bikes.
Owen Sullivan
They probably need to be broken in a bit. Either way, they aren't meant for squatting. Get yourself in the tucked position on a bike and that is the most extreme flexibility the pants should have
Henry Allen
