>He never scored

;_;7

He looks like a pedo in his 40's

Thinking about selling my DRZ for something slightly faster and better for longer rides. Is XT660X an option or is it fat and slow ?
What other bike would you recommend ?

690 will weave through traffic just as well as a 300 will only you will get more than 100km on a tank of fuel.

if you were using it as a dirtbike, sure the weight advantage is massive but as a road bike?
there is literally no advantage to having a 2 smoke enduro bike as a road bike other than the ability to say to other people "i have a road registered 2 stroke"

Its not like the handlebars aren't just as wide on both bikes.

Looking at a 99 CBR off of Craigslist for 1300, this is the image he sent me of the chain. Is it possible to save it?

Anyone else excited for winter/fall riding? Re-doing the suspension on my 250 and gonna get nice and toasty toasty for some eskimobundle riding :3

Doesn't look that bad to be honest.

>save it
OR you could do the right thing and change your sprockets for once

if it isnt too loose there is nothing wrong with it, just needs some lube.

Is that actually wranon?

yes.

When did he get doxed?
Why didn't I know about this?

Not my bike, famigutsa

Wow he is a lot older then I thought.

fugg, delet this.

everyone has been doxxed.
we just keep it to ourselves normally.

Delete this now.
VERDAMMTE ARSCHLÖCHAAAAA

Alright thanks, good to know.

See if he can send you some pictures of the rear sprocket as well. Ideally you want to see the countershaft sprocket as well but I imagine the seller cant be arsed to remove the cover. You can tell a lot about how the bike was ridden and the condition its in from the condition of the sprockets

it has been too long now m8 :,)
this is what you get for trying to fake your own death

>fat
>ugly
>slow
literally not even a supermoto, if u want something fat get that meme ktm supermoto or just get a duke theyre quite light

>riding dirt bikes on road
If you are a shitcunt that cant do jumps, whoops or hill climbs just admit it instead of acting like you are a good rider in front of the road bike riders

I dont want supermoto at all cost, but something with similar riding position. I tried my friends Bandit 650 and I absolutely hated the riding position and 4 cyl. Duke 690 looks quite cool but im not sure about maintenance cost compared to Jap bikes?

i have heard nothing but praise from anyone who owns a duke 690.

>praise
>ktm

>he can't afford a ktm
stay mad on your shitty bike m8

How do I lock my bike?

Buying shit at the moment.

i was looking to get duke 690 as my first bike but aparently a lot of people had issues with them

>engine completely dying in first 5000km (factory warranty covers it tho)
>wheels cracking from small potholes
>radiator leaking
>frontal shocks giving up

now these are just things i read on the internet, then again dukes are made in india (?) so it would fit the story

anyone who has had problems with them lives in India.

all of the memes of broken ktms come from indians riding on indian roads which are fucking horrid.
that plus its poo in the loo's do you really expect them to be doing any maintenance on the bikes?

The 690 is made in Australia.

>watch royal Enfield video
>Indian guy attempting to remove cylinder head
>hammers, levers, etc
>spots that he's left a bolt in
Empire was the best and only good thing to ever happen to that subcontinent

Yep, imagine where they would be if the english never took over.
i imagine very simmilar to name an african country.

i tried to search for the country of origin but i found out that duke 690 is quite underpowered, disapointing, it looks really good tho

under powered compared to what exactly? last i checked it competes with bikes like the mt-07

fick dich drobe. Ich schmeiß dir demnächst mal ordentlich die Brügl raus.

sorry m8 i don't speak kraut but fuck you too aye?
that ones universal.

Well the British stopped the practice of burning a man's wife on his funeral pyre when he died, whether she had or not. That's just an example.

What were you expecting? A 100hp thumper?

>and indians will still try to say the British fucked their culture
their culture deserved to be fucked.

>Australians
lmaoooooo!

I am sorry but you are going to have to leave the party

Are these gloves worth €108?

Can i make a 1000km tripbin a suzuki 125?

I got those exact gloves, alright I guess.

I find they rub and pinch on the pinky finger where that "extra protection" sliders things are.

I wouldnt want to.

Do you think I can find something as good as that for less? Heard Alpinestars will break apart.

What else could I buy to make the €9 for the shipping weigh less.

My A*s SP-2s did exactly that which is why I rolled the dice on dainese.

Wouldn't have bought the daineses if I had the time or money though, I just knew I needed gloves that day because I had a track day 3 days after and wouldn't have time to buy them inbetween.

I wanted held Phantom IIs

all gloves die sooner or later, my five gloves died after 2 years so i bought pic related

Yes
I did almost 2000km on a suzuki 125

yeah I know, gloves are basically consumables but I was never happy with the Alpinestars fit in terms of my hand shape anyway, dainese seem to fit my hand shape a little better.

I just went to the closest shop and bought the best fitting gauntlet in my price range.

>for less
>€300 gloves
Something else?
>leather goods
>dying in 2 years
Just no.

I've never had a pair of gloves last longer than a year for me.

we'll see if dainese can be the combo breaker.

wore through the tip of the index and middle finger on both gloves from holding the clutch/brake.

These can be had for $99US

Comfy, decent protection, decent grip, and don't fall apart

Try and find a non-fluted replacement headlight lens while you're at it. Those things are garbage.

Not in burgerland.

then come here m8

we have burgers. don't you like burgers?

No.
We have real meat, you come here.

We have real meat in addition to burgers

Burgers trump all, come to burgerstan

This to be honest.
I would not feel comfortable eating meat in America, normal meat where i live is the equal to extremely expensive exotic meat over there.

even mcdonalds where i live is half decent meat.

It's not gay unless handlebars touch

>hormones and antibiotics supplemented meat
>real meat
No, thanks, it's already hard to eat well here nowadays.
Food is one of the reasons why I can't think of going to live in the US or UK to find a job.

>being a pinko

Oh no, you might get more gains. I bet you don't eat GMOs either, luddite.

straya?

>go to church to practice figure of 8 in car park
>gate locked
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>run out of fuel for first time ever
>turn on reserve
>it actually works
Praise the lawd!

Think I'll go for a night ride and hoon in the city later.

>he has never had natural beef that still produces more meat per head of cattle than American shit

It's not just the meat either, I had to spend a few months in the US for work and the fruit/veg was fucking horrendous and christ almighty the fast food was a whole new level of greasy, fatty cholesterol ridden garbage.

ebin thread guise

I'm pretty sure straya has more job opportunities than UK and US.
Just your friendly southern EU country.
>small dick
Thank god I wan't born american.
Yeah. Fucking deal breaker for me.
The anglo style of life as a whole in unberable.
Doing my best.
Gotta eat healty to ride bikes fast.

Ya'll a bunch of fags. Quit playing with yer meat

I'm watching DMAX

Thank you for the suggestion, user. That is actually a really good idea.

Hnnnggg

That's not WR's name.

>implying you would know

I do, in fact. He sent me monies for SEM 3000 back in the day :^)

>wr
>money
>sem
nice try

It was 5€ down payment for the campsite and I collected that from everyone before WR's mum forbade him from showing up.

stop buying shitty gear and take some new photos. You ALWAYS post the same fucking picture, ALWAYS!!

We all payed at the camp this time, no downpayment.

Retard.

I'm putting down a deposit later today.

It's a hard and expensive idea. Nobody sells custom lenses, so you have to make a mold from the existing one, sand it smooth or plaster over the pattern, and then shrink a poly lens to it. And then you have to affix the lens to the existing housing.

or you could retrofit another headlight housing and ignore the lens entirely, or do that and cover the hole in the fairing with a sheet of poly

bodywork is a PITA

The first sem was SEM2000.

This was SEM3000, the next wil be SEM4000.

Who is "everyone" and who is "we"

you'll need it all for your health treatment
