If they pay Heroshima's bills, they're alright.

White bikes = best bikes

They only get me when phoneposting as I havent looked into adblock for chrome on android.

White people = best people

Ok.

Anyone else going to do a restoration project this winter? The riding season is about to come to an end here in Washington state. Il still be riding til the day its frozen but I look forward to fixing up a 1982 suzuki GS I bought this year.

...

I'm looking to fix the '82 GS I broke this summer.

IKR, look how that stupid mugabe fucked south africa

Kek. Want an oxy bro?

Nice DR dude.
Sup Indianon?

...

No thanks, already got some oxy. I wanted to go hit the tooj but it looks like I'm going out drinking

What kind of work are you doing? I Had to replace the stator and regulator when I got it (I guess this is a problem for just about every 80's GS) My spedometer is seized up and tach broken so il have to replace those. Petcock is fucked and just lets gas flow freely which isnt the end of the world but it does leak a bit. Minor oil leak around the heads. and I broke a fucking bolt trying to take off the pipes. Has not been an issue yet but looks bad. Chain is totally rusted, and the rear drum brake is worn out. Lots of little things as well but I still use the thing as a daily comutter and weekend rider.

Nm. Just sitting here being a lazy cunt drinking coffee at work. How about yourself?

yubrowser is a chrome alternative that's basically identical but with adblock

>living in the beautiful northwest
>ski season

Got no rum or anything and feeling drained after the week, I rolled a sleep but I really don't want to, might go outside and relax.

Dis is sexy

no u r

>obligatory "what do you mean the rums gone"

I know that feeling man. I'm off hitch wed and think I'll be swinging by and getting a bottle of bourbon on my way home.
Awww thanks Bae.
Ur just saying that cuz u have a Gimli fetishist

tfw no bike gf

Nice, you're a Beam kinda guy huh.

I gotta let my inner pirate go.

I guess I'm gonna defy my roll and go out and detox from this week.

...

>tfw someone took the triple tree cover from my bike again

dafuq? people actually do that?

Yea. But I'll drink whatever is on hand. Been craving scotch the past few days as well.

Detox is always a good thing. I look at being at work as Detox. So when I'm home and start day drinking I don't feel so bad.

I fucking guess so

>Shut up and take my money
I want a resurgence of 80's/90's dual sport styling someday. They're the prettiest

Probably as payback for murdering her.

Never tried whiskey. I guess I'll try to cop some.

Ayy so there you go. I guess night shift ain't so bad. Do ya have to deal with shitty people?
rip, people are dicks.
You gonna do your tailtidy eventually?

Wew. A year later and the memes still here.

Yep, ordered a competitionwerkes fender elim yesterday and the tst blockout plate because the competitionwerkes one is ugly

Thanks

Shit, you've been here a year already? dayum sun

Look forward to seeing it, if spotted in the wild I'll leave ya some wats somewhere.

Jim beam is distilled cat piss

>Wew. A year later and the memes still here.
So first it was him, then it was her, who's going to die this year?

Hell yea you should. Just do like I usually do and hide ur phone from yourself drunk self. Makes life a bit better.

I wouldn't call it night shift really. It's an awkward work schedule.
I work a 21/21 schedule. And while here at work we do 12 hour shifts. This hitch I'm doing the midnight to noon

user has already died.

Who is "him"

Godspeed bro. That's rough. Must have a funky sleep schedule, I'm guessing this weeb chinese image board helps pass the time and keep ya awake.

Or at least his bike has.

I've been here for more than a year mane. I was here before I had the fireblade, just didn't post much.

>tfw my bike is hard to find in a small town

But thanks mane. Hopefully the parts will be here soon.

u

Sup gimpsuiters, winter is coming.

Ehh. been doing this shit so long it's normal anymore. I think a 9-5 is a funky ass schedule. Sleeps not so bad, I usually chug a pot of coffee in the first hr of watch. I can catch up on sleep my 3 weeks off at home
And yeah, plus I've been on Veeky Forums so long I'm afraid I'll never leave. Until nip moot gets it shut down.

Click his new ads and it wont get shut down.

>click on adds to support 4chink moot
Or

The struggle

>tfw no cold weather gear
I tried wearing my mesh jacket under my regular winter jacket, but I can barely breathe.

Oh that's right you had a Duc. Noice
Watch, huh? That's entertaining. Well once you're here you're along for the ride, I suppose.

I'm currently using stock levers on my bike. How much better are adjustable levers?

Sadly true. I remember when there was only two boards here :/ Jesus fuck, i feel old after realizing my power lvl

yeah, rip duc. Did you stop looking at bikes for the year?

Yeah ya old gimp. Where's the new bat onesie on the Indian for Halloween?
Yeah, I figured come winter shit will be cheaper and more available. Nothing local and nice is appearing. Who knows, I may just get something at home. Been really busy lately anyways, wouldn't have had time to ride anyhow.
Still on the prowl for xrrs?

>gimp
Hahaha funny enough my nickname is GimpMaster on fb. Can't remember how I got it, but it stuck.
I won't be home until after Halloween sadly. But I'll take it when I get back.
Funny enough I was thinking about that yesterday. So don't think I forgot about u homie

Ha nice. Don't bring wheels when you're stationed?

And no sweat. I haven't updated the collage for a while. Just thought it was a funny pic.

Might go get some cider, you think it could be mixed with some things?

Yeah shit should pop up more in the winter. Hopefully something decent pops up mane. Still midterms for you?

Haven't really been looking for xrrs, maybe I'll just get like a wr450/crf450/ktm450 and make it street legal. Kinda focused more on cars now for the time being tbqh

Depends on the weather. This time I came down was right after the hurricane so I drove my vw. Maybe next time though. Hoping to get up in the mountains this time off for this great weather we've been having.

Hmm, maybe a nice bourbon or whiskey would go well with it.

Yeah man every week until Thanksgiving break. Kinda stopped worrying about the bike scene tho.
Going for the challenger or gt350?
Blue mountains?

if you were a nobike how would you kill yourself?

by getting a bike

You know it. I got 3 weeks off. Might as well go enjoy some scenic views and fresh mountain air

>every week until thanksgiving break.

Fuck that shit dude. Hopefully they're all going well.

I think I'm going to get a 4runner to dd and then a 67 shelby gt350 project car

Former CBR300R user reporting.

Insurance covered my gear. Apparently I was wearing $1,100 worth of shit. Toe still hurts in a way that's hard to describe. The toenail doesn't seem to be growing back at all after two weeks. Half hoping it doesn't. Pro tip: you really fucking need toenails. It's a lot of fun when you bleed through the bandage and the blood dries into your shoe, and then you go to take your shoe off at the end of the day and it rips the bandage which is also dried into your nail bed. Feet and blood is also an interesting smell. Going to sue the living shit out of the woman that decided signaling is optional and that the center lane is a turn lane.

Shit has settled enough to where I can actually ask myself if I want to buy another motorcycle. I rode every damn day, and it ended up being a larger part of my life than I really expected or even knew at the time of the accident. Losing that has honestly been comparable to if someone just shot your dog in the face for no reason.

I can't tell if crashing was a warning, and I got off easy, or if it was a challenge to be navigated, and I should get back on. When do you decide it's time to stop?

>inb4 faget

...

underrated

>When do you decide it's time to stop?
when i'm fucking dead.

careful though. your first crash is your first real gut check. pretty much everyone goes through it, and those of us that stick with it end up stuck with this desire/need/hunger to ride two wheeled death machines for the rest of their lives.

Any star wars fans here?

motorcyclenews.com/new-gear/2016/october/hjc-tempts-you-to-the-dark-side-with-star-wars-helmets/

The question is, do you actually want to keep riding or do you want to stop?

If you feel too scared then riding isn't for you. If you take it as a reality check and want to continue then do it.

First crashes are the biggest moment when you ride motorcycles m8. I took mine as a learning experience and moved on.

If you got some money to play around with now then you can probably upgrade to a bigger bike as well.

that boba fett helmet makes me moist but i'd feel like a massive faggot pulling up with that on my head

Do you feel the stock levers are too long or too short?

>like starwars
>hate hjc
>like bobafett
>hate hjc

Fuck you for making be buy a helmet I wont wear

Fuck um. I think it'll be bad ass. Part of me wants the kylo rent because you know everyone is gonna want the boba helmet

Bit too far away from my stubby fingers, but I can manage. Just testing the waters to see if it's a worthwhile purchase or not

Why hate hjc?

>When do you decide it's time to stop
If in your mind there is a stopping point besides death, stop right now. Riding is not a hobby, it's a mental disorder with no cure. I crashed a few weeks ago, I won't walk straight for another two weeks at best, and I was on crutches for nearly 3. The only thing on my mind is how much it's going to cost to fix and when I can ride again.

Get adjustable then. It's worthwhile

Before the entire experience of motorcycling, I always used to scoff a little at the "RAAD UR DAH" types. I thought I understood the appeal, but thought that the almost pious zeal was a little ridiculous.

Now I totally fucking understand. On the outside, it's just a mode of transportation, but once you're in it, it's a fucking intractable piece of you. Once you know it, you'll always feel its absence, and for it be incomplete.

The more I think about it, the more I want to continue. I think it's just taken this long for everything in my head to come to rest. It's refreshing to hear that I'm not alone in my thought process here. In retrospect, I'm actually a little surprised that I made it as long as I did.

Funnily enough, I don't really think I want a bigger bike. The 300 was slow as shit, but god damnit that thing was so much fun. I'm still eyeing the new CBR250RR. Or a DRZ400. Or an RC390. Swinging your dick around on a Daytona looks like the time of your life, but I don't think that's really my style.

I4s sound so nice though...

And hopefully get a fucking tire that isn't square you fucking giant.

That's the stock exhaust.

>I4s sound so nice
>I want a small bike
There's only one real choice you can make here dude. Japanese classics has you covered.

Do it. Be the meme.

Not possible unless youre AUS. Honda is reviving the RR though.
Still id think it a waste to get another 250 and more power on tap can be a boon from a safety perspective.

honda a shit. suzuki a best

Are you fucking stupid or some shit? They're legal to import now.

motorcycling for me is a pretty pure piece of self-expression. you can take the jaded, pessimistic outlook and say muh special snowflake; believe me, i did for a long time. but i came to the realization that just because an expression lacks uniqueness doens't mean it lacks value.

"ride or die" (or its ilk) doesn't come from machismo or self-righteousness, it comes from an experience that teaches you that you are more at risk of dying than other people -- 38 times more likely, if some statistics are to believe. it's a badge of honor but it's also representative of a coming to terms with your own mortality that a lot of people really never have to develop. yeah, you can die. people can, have, do, and will continue to die and become seriously injured and/or maimed for life on motorcycles.

if it weren't dangerous, it wouldn't be fun.
