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.

>very important life decision
Put yourself first and everything will be fine :^)

have you tried making a decision instead of not making a decision

reminder that honda a shit

what kind of decisions?

No, you're just fucked up in the head

thanks sonny

the kids these days like The Smiths, right?

left or right hand

本田は世界一です

sorry I dont speak korean

No they all like Yes because of Jojo.

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

>I'd be jerking off all the time and nothing more.
That's pretty much what I do.

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.

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.

>Roundabout
I fucking love roundabout, did somebody ruin roundabout?
I'll fucking kill a dog.

>first you have to think about your options
>then you pick an option and never look back.
But that's how you make MISTAKES

>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.

If by "ruin" you mean "got popular with the kids and dank meme generation", then yes

>Just b urself
hurr durr

>thats why you never look back. live with the decision that you chose and make it work.
>pic wrong specialization
>can't find a job you enjoy
>miserable forever

Well then.

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.

>took a few selfie for new facebook pic
>can't pick because i'm so fucking handsome in all of them

What do?

Try killing yourself

get on your bmw and go shoot 7 white girls then kys

Send pics to your 3 gfs and let them decide you FUCKING NORMIE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

You only hate me because I'm pretty

...

post pics

I'd fuck you. Would you fuck you?

Thoughts on Zero bikes?
They are tempting

Some one on my neighborhood just bought a Grom.

I saw him riding on the sidewalk today.

There are a bunch of groms near me. 2 in my neighborhood and a big grom crew I see riding around.

Good for commuting

>riding on the sidewalk

for what purpose? its a full fledged motorcycle. a tiny one, but a motorcycle none the less.

Florida rain gear

because hooning is fun

Post baikus, prove you aren't a filthy nobike.

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

you ready for Tropical Depression #9? Or was it called Hurricane Irmine or something I don't really remember.

is this a sporster?
why's the fron wheel so large?

Have you ridden today, /dbt/?

i don't know, he was going to the speed limit and looked like he was bringing groceries home.

Idk m8

why wouldnt you just ride on the road then

No i just woke up.

I ride my fireblade on sidewalks and stuff. It's fun.

Sup fireblade user

>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

Nope but I did yesterday so I'm happy.

U wot m8? The front wheel is the standard 17", does it look larger?

>implying you would take an overpriced heavy fashion statement offroad
wouldn't you?

Pretty sure they have ironed out issues. And any bike has potential to catch fire.

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.

it seemed bigger than my mate's 19"
maybe i'm imagining it

If only...

I would.

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.

they might try to pin it on you if you say that you saw the oil

Not much just got back from class. Hbu?

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.

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

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

Same shit here.

No, went for a ride yesterday but it sucked.

i think youll be fine

Really? What's he got?

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

a tt
or an xt
dunno, a 90's dualsport

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.

highside then, not your fault at all.

I feel you but at least it's almost the weekend

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

>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

i mean, some superbikes are just MotoGP bikes with lights and horns on them

well, duh
most supersport are RRs, Race Replicas
in some cases, like Ducati and Aprilia they even sell the actual race prepped bikes

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.

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

if it has an R at the end nope
just be aware of the pain that euro bikes can (and will) be

What model of baiku is this?

Triumph triples are mean bikes bro. Not a beginner bike at all

They have one of those Ducatis at my local bike shop, think they would let me test ride it?

Yup, I feel that.

Want a dual sport bad, but damn this is a nice bike for a nice price.
chambana.craigslist.org/mcy/5759934957.html

Anything new with you bike wise?

i'd say a riced CBR or ZX

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.

Naked GSX600F or 750F Katana, pre-facelift

Best part is the MT03 headlight.

>GSX600F

Think that's it.

Doesn't look half bad.

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

Better off getting pic related, is only 120kg and has about double the range.

oh..

This is my bike

HANE BEST GIRL
FITE ME IRL

I know it is, I own one. The 750F is practically identical when you remove the rear fairing so it could be either one

Post bike with rare schumacher

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

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
