Do any of you actually read Iron & Air magazine?

only magazine i really read is motorcycle trader.

i dont know how to read

Posting in new thread
Hey guys i got some grips and levers from ebay and i got the levers and the left handgrip on as it used fasteners as it is anodized aluminum but the throttle grip requires the grip to screw into a new reel but when i twist it together the throttle grip locks into the casing for the throttle cable. Am i missing something as this is the first time i've done any kind of modification to a bike ever.

5th for honda the shit

what can you do when the place you live in is an urban grid with nowhere to really ride your bike outside of your boring commute/have fun on it

I mean it's a shitty cb250 nighthawk but I don't wanna just sit in traffic all day and putt around at 30
pic related

you hoon on the weekends

You have to make road trips to find the good roads

I'm dealing with the same thing. I only ride to work and back anymore.
Plan a trip, pick a place you've always wanted to go.
Hell, sit there and make a list of places you want to go

I guess I could ride out to Edgeville, home of OPs everywhere

jokes aside I'm kinda scared to ride very far from home because I've heard it's bad to keep the revs up on a 250CC for very long, but I'll never have fun if I don't push it huh

>ive heard its bad to keep the revs up on a 250cc for very long

isnt that the point of changing gears?

Then go on your own and make stops and take pictures. What if you drove through the state park right there instead?

Morning dbt, what riding plans have you poofs got on the go for today?

im off to do an enduro loop in an hour or so, time to test out the vforce 4 reed valves,
should be some fun.

That horse is literally Pegasus of Saint Seiya.

My bike's functional top speed is 60-65 in 5th and it gets real vibrate-y up there. The people at the dealership said it's not really meant to be kept up in that range for an extended time. They didn't really explain what "extended time" meant, so I've been taking it easy so far.

that's not a bad idea actually, can't believe I didn't think of it before.
I'll catch an alligator for you guys and put it on my bike if I can

I'm trying to coordinate a trip with my friend to go see the big dinosaurs in the desert from PeeWees Big Adventure.
Its only 2 hours away

>I didn't think of riding to a state park next to my city
Seriously?
Where the fuck do you usually ride, downtown?

put a 1 tooth larger sprocket on the front, you will lose a little bit of acceleration but the bike will sit at 60mph without struggling.

can you get me some Isotope-239 while youre there?

should i stay with Aprilia or should I sign with Ducati/Yamaha/Honda?

I'll try
I'd rather find That Gun instead though

I heard theres some valuable antique hunting rifle for sale over there

BUT WHO WAS POST

>VR The Game.
So you cant actually win in the game?

Yamaha.

Marc is a little bitch.
>screenshots
>A, B
Tell me your secrest famalam

heheheheh

the game has controller support

>Where the fuck do you usually ride, downtown?
yeah, like I said I pretty much just do my commute.

To be fair the state park is kinda forgotten by everyone around here, which is good news for me because no one will be there.

If that'll fix it I'm gonna do it. Just gotta figure out how now; I'm sure there's a video floating around.

What about those Roman Colosseum cosplayers?

they dont really show up around those parts, they meet up and do their little reenactment fights in Arizona

Ah, that's pretty cool.

Dang, what up?

Got my new exhaust.

I'm actually really pissed I couldn't get more use out of the camera that guy gave me.
Honestly I just want a Pokemon SnapxFallout

what does it take to make something like that street legal?

cant be too demanding is it?

we Rossi now

for my next/second bike I want to get a CB600F. The thing is I hate the front. How hard would it be to remove the fairings and give it a Standard-style headlight so it looks as close as possible to a CB400?

>remove the fairings
that's not meant to be in there. Ignore that.

Idk why you would want one street legal, too thirsty to ride on the road lol
But yeah pic related + blinkers and you can get them registered, i just have recreational rego on mine so i took all that shit back off after i got my plates

a pile of parts and a days time will do it

too much work, I need a bike now

Get a older hornet.

just get a cb400, if its not powerful enough turbo charge it.
live the meme user.

They're not sold here in the US. That's why I want the CB600f, so I can pretend I have a cb400.

please tell me the cb600f is sold in the US
I swear to god it pisses me off so much standards aren't sold in the US

...

I think he means standards worth buying.

Did you at any point consider spending two seconds on google?

Which one DBV? Is the newer one really worth $750 extra?

raleigh.craigslist.org/mcy/5759523654.html

raleigh.craigslist.org/mcy/5741651080.html

Id say yes. Get the Gladius

well I have my answer, gonna ride out to the dealer tomorrow (not that I can afford the bike lmao)

Did you at any point consider kissing my ass

>I think he means standards worth buying.
this desu, the other one looks too much like a cafe racer and I don't wanna look like too much of a douche

I should kiss my own ass, posted the wrong screenshot and everything

I just like it cuz its old looking and simple

Anyone here going to check this event out next month?

>inb4 memes

don't get me wrong it's a nice looking bike and I like how it looks, but I could /not/ pull off a cafe racer. I'm way too burly.

Would her heels make shifting harder or easier?

norfolk.craigslist.org/mcy/5763152534.html

Found this guys, what do

>harthritis diabeteson
>that bike
I think that poster gave me cancer

why dont you put on some heels and find out

ATGATT

If I had a gf (or bf) who owned some I might

>tfw no bf (bikerfriend)

take your moms

Lol. I wouldn't buy anything from newport news

>yamaha xjr1200

That is a beautiful bike. Looks expensive as shit though. What's it like to ride?

Haven't seen her in months

R-riding alone is better.

It looks like they practically just copied the cb400 style...

go see your mom, give her a hug, ask here what shes been up to. then when shes not looking jack the heels.

Its just such a long drive battling traffic jams by the tunnel whenever you have to drive to VA beach and shit where most of these sellers are.

>tfw spending $60 dollar on food delivery
I can't even wear my jacket with the insulating layer anymore. Help.

There's even gonna be a pirate themed poker run

I'm ok with this

so I left the keys in on my motorcycle
over night
like a fucktard
the battery is d e a d. Is there anything I can do right now to fix it or at least get it running? I don't have a charger or a tender.

>tfw never have the balls to ask if they want to ride out sometime

Non-rider here. How do you lads do your shopping and stuff?

Don't know how to pushstart or jump a motorcycle battery but one of them might work hmmm
try google

with luggage or a car

bump start it

good time to learn how

Just get a boifriend and fuck his boipucci

What bike? If fi ur fuckt like me and ur mum last night. Also you can just start it with a car battery

But on a bike the long ride is fun.

norfolk.craigslist.org/mcy/5757479881.html

so buy this banana?

it looks fucking weird, would any of you ever get this?

Well, I bumpstrarted it...
I just didn't happen to be on the bike

Sleep well baiku

fucking kek'd

Luckily it was just a honda

No riding today, getting the house cleaned up and ready for some friends from out of town to come and stay. Probably no riding tomorrow either. Sunday will be my riding day for this weekend I guess.

I fkn like it! Do it!!! I have a few buddies at the strip who ride bright yellow bikes. They're adorable

How do you drop a bike that weighs 40 lbs. Do you not have legs?

Fairing and lights are so ugly...

Ayy lmao! Seriously the battery on those shitbikes discharges in like 5 minutes if you let the key on.

I agree.

I'll just pull the trigger on the red sv650 from yesterday. I'll call tomorrow morning and see what shape it's in..

the only damage is a scraped front brake and I think I may have bent the rear brake pedal a bit. Not sure.

no one told me I was supposed to be on the bike while I bumpstarted it :(

time to figure out how much a new battery costs. I don't even know if it can be recharged, I came home at 11:00 last night and only realized I left the keys in 30 minutes ago.

Mine has a tiny agm 12v7ah so it discharges pretty quickly but as long as you keep the bike a 1500rpm it keeps charging also i disconected the low beam because its always on and only use the highbeam if required.

In the US?
>full street legal lighting
>plan on redoing a lot of the electrical system to support such lights
>add all your switches to control the lights
>horn
>DOT tires

fuck that shit lmao

So even if I left it on all night, if I just let it idle it'll charge the battery enough?
also, if the battery is dead, will the bike die at an idle such as at a stoplight? It's my only way to get to work and I don't want to die (literally and metaphorically) in traffic

Is that game good? Besides being on motorocycles, how do motorcycle games compare to car racing games like gran austismo?

youtube.com/watch?v=WmVMOr7TIrc

large trailers make me nervous

Yeah if you idle the bike at 1500rpm it will charge. Also as long as the motorcycle is charging i dont see a problem. Just jump start it with a car, you can even use makeshift cables and see it holds charge. Pic related the battery.

Not him but Best game ever

well I knew it was gonna be expensive but not /this/ expensive
fug

I just gotta find a place that I can idle it at, I'm sure the neighbors won't appreciate me doing it at 8 PM. I also don't wanna be robbed so parking lots are a maybe. It's also raining.

I really screwed the pooch on this one

still not on the map, is austrian ktm dude dead?
