Does anyone else feels that riders are more prone to "snapping" and kill themselves on their machines ? It's like when you're standing on the edge of a roof or cliff, and you get that urge to dive. I'd be lying if I pretended never to have wanted to just bend my wrist and end it.

>have to make very important life decisions by the end of the week >dunno what do
I'll probably end up just riding all the time and do nothing about it.
Kevin Watson
>very important life decision Put yourself first and everything will be fine :^)
Michael Young
have you tried making a decision instead of not making a decision
Logan Allen
reminder that honda a shit
Justin Roberts

Liam King
If I did that I'd be jerking off all the time and nothing more.
No, how do I do that?
move, work, study, tell her I want her, leave my family behind Stuff like that
Jacob Harris
>I'd be jerking off all the time and nothing more. That's pretty much what I do.
Andrew Taylor
well, Yes is ok. Just as long as they don't only listen to Roundabout.
first you have to think about your options then you pick an option and never look back.
Alexander Stewart
The urge was there at some bad times in my life. But generally, no. Most riders I met are normal guys content with their life. I think that's just a byproduct of depression.

>first you have to think about your options >then you pick an option and never look back. But that's how you make MISTAKES
Matthew Rogers
>ill fucking kill a dog
fuck off Dio
>thats how you make mistakes
everybody makes mistakes, thats why you never look back. live with the decision that you chose and make it work.
Juan Cruz
If by "ruin" you mean "got popular with the kids and dank meme generation", then yes

Well then.
Luke Fisher
thats not what i said at all
thats just the way it goes sometimes. life sucks, it really does. never said youd make the right or best decision, but at least you made one instead of doing nothing which is usually worse than doing something.
John Long
>took a few selfie for new facebook pic >can't pick because i'm so fucking handsome in all of them
What do?
Dylan Robinson
Try killing yourself

Thoughts on Zero bikes? They are tempting
Samuel Mitchell
Some one on my neighborhood just bought a Grom.
I saw him riding on the sidewalk today.
Lincoln Rodriguez
There are a bunch of groms near me. 2 in my neighborhood and a big grom crew I see riding around.
Owen Fisher
Good for commuting
William Flores
>riding on the sidewalk
for what purpose? its a full fledged motorcycle. a tiny one, but a motorcycle none the less.
Oliver Barnes
Florida rain gear
David Myers
because hooning is fun
Levi Foster
Post baikus, prove you aren't a filthy nobike.
Mason Wilson
they are electric that's both their selling point and their biggest downside
they have shit mileage, take a lot to charge and are nowhere near as durable as a proper bike
the electric engine, with no gears makes them seem like scooters and after riding one i must say it would be heaps better without the bulshit restrictions
fucking hell, the only reason i'd get one is for "le infinite torks" but as of now they're boring scooters
Nolan White
you ready for Tropical Depression #9? Or was it called Hurricane Irmine or something I don't really remember.
Benjamin Adams
is this a sporster? why's the fron wheel so large?
Brayden Gonzalez
Have you ridden today, /dbt/?
Elijah Reyes
i don't know, he was going to the speed limit and looked like he was bringing groceries home.
Cooper Walker
Idk m8
Bentley Turner
why wouldnt you just ride on the road then
Ayden Long
No i just woke up.
Caleb Ortiz
I ride my fireblade on sidewalks and stuff. It's fun.

Logan Edwards
>implying you would take an overpriced heavy fashion statement offroad >implying you would take a vehicle prone to self combustion under overheating to the scorching desert
Owen Thomas
Nope but I did yesterday so I'm happy.
Ethan Evans
U wot m8? The front wheel is the standard 17", does it look larger?
Adrian Mitchell
>implying you would take an overpriced heavy fashion statement offroad wouldn't you?
Gabriel Sanchez
Pretty sure they have ironed out issues. And any bike has potential to catch fire.
Jacob Rivera
Hello dbt. Yesterday, I totaled my FZ07. First accident ever and it wasn't even on me. There was an oil spill all over the street from a tanker truck, and traffic had to stop suddenly since it was on a bend and no one could anticipate the traffic jam from the truck being stopped at the bottom. Hitting my breaks in the oil made me lose control and the bike slid onto its side and flipped over. It hit my legs and I can't walk for a while. I got discharged this morning with >A broken rib >2 fractured knee caps >Torn muscles all around my knees >Skinned left arm >Burns on both of my wrists where my jacket slid up my arms >Pulled muscles all over my torso
Been riding for almost 2 years and this is the first incident I've ever had. Don't have any pics of the bike post-accident. Do you think the insurance will try to pin this on me? The cops wrote all over the police report that it was entirely caused by the oil spill on the road. I just don't want my insurance to spike but I'm sure it will.
Angel Scott
it seemed bigger than my mate's 19" maybe i'm imagining it
Aaron Jackson
If only...
Carter Watson
I would.
Jaxson Fisher
It sounds like it was pretty much unavoidable, and the cops putting about the oil spill on the report should help your case greatly.
Sucks that it happened though, but at least you're alive. Rest up and plot your return user.
Henry Moore
they might try to pin it on you if you say that you saw the oil
Thomas Butler
Not much just got back from class. Hbu?
Juan Barnes
That you red fz-07 user? Insurance will cover anything, idk about your country but in my country your wages from work should be getting paid as well. shitty to hear m8 get well soon.
Aaron Morgan
shit, m8 bad luck don't worry, i'm sure your company will try it's absolute best to pin it onto someone else, especially if multiple customers were involved
i'd expect a minor increase, i had a very similar accident (except i completely shrekt my knees) and had no premiums increase
Alexander Sullivan
Thanks mate, I sure hope so It was tight traffic so I couldn't see ahead, it just looked like normal road discoloration anyways. Not my picture but the exact same thing. It was a red bone-stock fz07. Thanks mate
Ryan Fisher
Same shit here.
Levi Edwards
No, went for a ride yesterday but it sucked.
Jace Hernandez
i think youll be fine
Jayden Morris
Really? What's he got?
Asher Robinson
if they ask if you slam on the brakes deny if they ask why you were on the road say commuting no rush, no hooning, don't admit to anything that isn't already on the police report
did you have abs?, did you feel the brakes lock? these are trick questions, play the most candid commuter/seasonal rider you can be, though assert your experience if questioned
Isaiah Gutierrez
a tt or an xt dunno, a 90's dualsport
Colton Morales
Had no ABS, and I was legitimately commuting since I am a college student, so I've already played that card. I can't tell if the rear locked, I would guess so. My rear tire began to slide to the right and as soon as it slid out of the oil and back onto dry asphalt it caught and threw me off.
John Richardson
highside then, not your fault at all.
Gavin Cooper
I feel you but at least it's almost the weekend
Luis Johnson
Anyone else find it amazing how small the gap between production tier supersports and MotoGP bikes is? You can buy a 15 year old GSX-R 1000 and you pretty much have 90% of the functionality of a MotoGP bike.
Compare that to the world of cars where the gap is fucking huge
Jayden Campbell
>it caught and threw me off so a proper highside... you'd never be expected to be abe to recover from such a sudden one especially if you were commuting and didn't expect it
anyway, remember anything that's not been officially recorded didn't happen >that's how my insurance is still 700/yr for the shivvy
Kevin Robinson
i mean, some superbikes are just MotoGP bikes with lights and horns on them
Liam Russell
well, duh most supersport are RRs, Race Replicas in some cases, like Ducati and Aprilia they even sell the actual race prepped bikes
Jack Barnes
No especially when you can buy a 15 year old dirt bike and have a bike that is 90% of what the pro riders have today. It is just progression.
Nathaniel Ward
I see that a SV650 is often recommended as a beginner bike. But I also know that not all 650's (or whatever number) are the same. Would a Triumph Street Triple (used) be suitable for a beginner or not even close? 675cc
Eli Myers
if it has an R at the end nope just be aware of the pain that euro bikes can (and will) be
Oliver Adams
What model of baiku is this?
Jordan Russell
Triumph triples are mean bikes bro. Not a beginner bike at all
Liam Lee
They have one of those Ducatis at my local bike shop, think they would let me test ride it?
Not even close, it has to do with engine configuration way more than it has to do with displacement. The SV650 is a V-Twin and thus is very easy to control on the throttle, but it still puts out when you need/want it to.
Adam Jones
Naked GSX600F or 750F Katana, pre-facelift
Christopher Foster
Best part is the MT03 headlight.
Owen Brooks
>GSX600F
Think that's it.
Doesn't look half bad.
Ayden Gomez
not without cash in hand and proper documents
yeah no, bulshit i'd imagine an sv is roughly the same as my shiver and the thing whellies in third like it's nobody's business
the point is thet v2 (and i3 for the matter) make power much lower in the rev range than i4, thus as a beginner you can easily putt around at 4k rpm even if your power is at, like 9k
Carson Perez
Better off getting pic related, is only 120kg and has about double the range.
Jaxson Martinez
oh..
Caleb Martinez
This is my bike
HANE BEST GIRL FITE ME IRL
Tyler White
I know it is, I own one. The 750F is practically identical when you remove the rear fairing so it could be either one
Andrew Hernandez
Post bike with rare schumacher
Isaiah Mitchell
That doesn't look bad for 1200. So the dualsport search isn't going too well?
Nothing really new bike wise, I'm still looking for an xr650r
Luke Nelson
Considering I own an SV I can say with confidence that the throttle is not liable to kill you if you fuck up a little, which is kind of the point I was trying to make when comparing it to the Striple
