finally hasbike.

the weather is clear for some riding and i still have money left over.

buy gear

Then which models are reliable, have that 80s look and are relatively cheap? I know only Honda CB1 of the popular models

i have a jacket and a helmet. that's it

but i definitely need some boots, my desert workboots from work do fine for now

build an 80s style biaku around a modern parts

how do

and pants
and gloves

Looks cute, but it requires a greater amount of cash.

...

the anime girls learner bike is still made to this day.

so yours?

>not even hitting the grass

old BMW best BMW

Suzuki bandit is another one

Pop a wheelie, cunt!

Well, CB400 is a kind of CB1's descendant. Any other suggestions?

that's what you get for trying to be cool

i'm cool

...

what carea is that?

rip

>wearing gloves when it's warm out

I ATGATT everything but gloves when it's sunny and hot, because fuck having an uncomfortable riding experience, bad grip control, and sweaty hands. Why do people do this?

>an uncomfortable riding experience, bad grip control
lol how about you buy fitting gloves
>sweaty
how about buy vented ones

>carea
area?
Baden-Württemberg

you too

Apparently I have never had a fitting pair of gloves on my hands in my life, because grip control always suffers and I always have hand cramps while riding with gloves.

how slow are you riding?
do you have hand covers?
how fat must you be to get sweaty palms while riding

>tfw scared to ride VFR because some people you knew or were family friends died on one just like yours

how to keep my legs and ass from being so sweaty?

99/100 times that you blame the gear or the bike, it's really the rider that's at fault
also degloving is literally one of the most common serious injuries

Stop getting fucked in the ass so much.

Not fat, I cruise around 90mph on my liter bike. It is more the cramping hands and bad grip control that I have a problem with, but hands do sweat when it's 90-100F and I'm doing a lot of stop and go.

git gud
t-thanks
>mfw this nigga has no dualsport but goes more offroad than I do
we have to ride soon again m8

If I just need fitting gloves, where can I go to get help making sure whatever I pick out is actually correctly fitting?

>carea
ah, camera?
It's some very cheap chink shit, I don't even know how it's called

>no dualsport but goes more offroad than I do
I can't not do it
>we have to ride soon again m8
yes

Buy gloves with precision fingers, not a baseball mitt.

Also it takes time to get used to new gloves. After a week of wearing gloves it will feel like there's nothing g there.

Precurved* fingers
Thanks auto-correct

Where can I find gloves like that? I just checked, both pairs that I have are for motocross riding, so maybe they're a lot thicker than I need for street riding or something??

just work on it. Don't have such a strong grip, make sure you're relaxing your hands when you ride. You should be doing this already. Just wear perf gloves in warm weather, size is pretty easy to tell. It will fit first try, unless they're full leather gloves which will stretch with use

I prefer wearing gloves to not wearing gloves.

>go out for run because eating too many big mac meals
>legs fucked because haven't run for three months
>stop to stretch because pain
>woman runs past
>follow her and begin closing distance
>blonde ponytail, tight slim body with a nice fat ass

>still closing on her
>fuck my long legs
>Idon'twantthistoend.mpeg

>no longer have a nice fat ass to distract me
>leg pain intensifies but get to next town anyway
>stop to stretch the pain away
>she comes over and talks to me

>runs off without sucking my cock at the side of the road
>sit there devastated
You put yourself out there in the real world and that's all you get. Advice and a smile. Why fucking bother?

>he doesnt have summer gloves
My gloves circulate air under your palms so they actually keep your hands cooler than wearing no gloves at all.

>maybe they're a lot thicker than I need
>mx gloves
is this bait?

>I can't not do it
we can do it together then ;^))

This probably gets asked here all the time, but I'm getting my first A2 bike. I'm torn between something like a cbr500f or a dualsport, though I'm not sure which. klr650, xt600e, fmx650 or something?

I live in a very suburban neighborhood, but it connects to a lot of B roads and A roads. Well connected to the entire country, basically.

>ask if I run often
M8 all you had to say was "yeah we should run together sometime"

Uh, no. So I'm guessing they're not thicker than I need, then?

>Running

Never tried in my life.
Should I start doing it? what are the benefits?

>what are the benefits

cardiovascular health. if you're fat you'll fuck up your knees. that's all there is to it. just run, and everytime you run you'll run a little farther and a little faster

have you ever looked at MX gloves?
they're literally just mesh
if you crash with them on the street they will burn into your hand
get some touring gloves or something, at least leather something

Just get a bicycle

m8 I'm an autist though. was going to ask her to keep pace for me the second time I overtook her but she was waving me to go on. I'll just have to start running more often and try to chase her down again.

>we can do it together then ;^))
Yes, if we find the time and money to do it

fuck off fish boy, bicycles are for faggots and the dutch

Okay, that's definitely not what mine are made of. Mine are thicker than my leather work gloves. Maybe the advertising on these being for mx is false.

No material benefits like pussy and money?
How good is it to burn fat?

Or your leather gloves are literal and complete garbage

why did you differentiate between faggots and the dutch

Trackday bro

dutch are super gay faggots

Running is literally the pussiest shit you can do

give me 3 legit reasons why i shouldnt buy this kz750.

if you like it buy it

looks like an alright shitbike :)

You have purists REEEEE at you because cafe racers bad.

what about sxv550?

noice

there is this one very scenic road which was even used for racing in the past
I should go and ride it next week

>ugly
>uncomfy
>parts will need constant repairing/replacing

this shit looks old and busted

like you are mom

because too much pussy is bad for you?

Id buy it its cool.

>sxv550
can you do maintenance yourself and do you live near italy so parts arrive quickly?
noiec road btw

>KZ
alter biste nazi?

>Spend 30min niggerrigging a way to mount action camera as a chin mount.
>Ugly but seems stable.
>Remove camera+case so I can clean up the mount a bit.
>Cat knocks camera off table.
>Case latch is apparently made of cheese.

Fucking kitty.
Is a cheap chinese camera and hardware though but it seems my only option is to buy another sj4000 case with a latch made of cheese.

the best reason to own a chink cam is that they're worthless so you don't need to use a case.

>can you do maintenance yourself
yes
>and do you live near italy so parts arrive quickly?
yes
Maybe a SXV wouldn't be too bad either
>noiec road btw
thanks
Maybe I'll make some webms

go to bed sv user

>zero impact form of exercise
>all your speed generated by gears
>you might get fit but if you're ever in a situation where you need to run your fat ass wont be able to handle the impact of landing on one foot after the other
cycling is so much better aite

True but it's annoying that I spent the time figuring out how to mount it to the non-flat chin of my helmet and now have no way of interfacing the camera to the mount.

>havign a cat
lol

tehn do it
these things are pure sex

but not that good for road, they re real racing bikes.

What's good lads
I know there's regular questions like this but I'm buying a bike and some help or pointers would be appreciated

I'm looking for a DT or a KMX 125 to do some green laning/forestry road riding and willies on while I'm on a CBT (second rate querly essentially) and I'm finding a lot of thrashed shitters and not many bikes in decent nick.
Does this one look decent? I know to look for tight spokes, good suspension bearings, smooth back shock etc but past that it's a bit hazy.

Here's an album with all the pictures of the bike, an MOT paper and a receipt from the garage he had the engine done at:
imgur.com/a/EYwmE

I used to do motocross with my dad when i was younger (just turned 18) and I'm gonna be expanding my knowledge as much as possible over my time with the bike, I'm a decent rider as things go offroad and it'll be used a lot for that sort of riding.
I'd try to get him down to around 1300.

Give es a hand x

Get v&, ese

looks fine m8

>that chocolate lab.

AKCHUALLY

Also if anyone can read this I'd appreciate it, dyslexia and that

Think it says it had broken spokes in the back wheel?

Well now, I'm not at such a low point in my life that I'd let a random generated number tell me what to do.

damn senpai

Aren't the rxv the racing bikes?
I thought the sxv were more like dual sport bikes
Of course not as reliable as normal shitbikes, but not as extreme as competitive race bike

Looks pretty tidy for its age.

>Shuttleworth

I use a tripod screw to gopro mount adapter

no

"2 spokes broke in rear wheel, is dangerous to use like this"

>implying

Thank you, doesn't sound positive

Best way to sell a bike? I've got a 2011 Triumph Speed Triple 1050 in alright condition cosmetically, decent mechanically. I thought about just throwing it up on craigslist but I really don't want to deal with people coming to my home for test rides (and learning where the bike is stored...), or hassling me over phone, etc.

I've tried contacting one consignment shop in town, they never contacted me back, and another wants 50% commission which seems crazy.

ship to to me and I'll sell if for you ;-)

>best way to sell a bike?
>doesn't want to use the best way to sell the bike
honestly, craigslist.

Anyone have experience with these things?

How are they?

Meet them at a mates house or somewhere, I wouldn't want them at my house lol

Why doesn't triumph have a liter daytona?
