Britfags, I'm 21 and want to get a motorcycle (already have a car licence and a car, so I'm not new to the roads), how should I go about it? Do CBT and buy a cheap 125 to practice on before I feel confident enough to do the A2 test?
Asher Gomez
What the fuck reason do they have for not allowing motorcycles on the property? Are cars allowed on the property? I've never heard of that kind of restriction unless it's to do with taking up too much space in a garage.
Carter Jackson
yes
Jeremiah Collins
no, 125s suck.
Elijah Thompson
Yes, but I'm only going to use it to learn and get first experience on a bike before selling it for an A2-suitable bike.
Benjamin Scott
are you not allowed to get an a2 from the start?
David White
ye get a 125 since you only need a cbt
ybr125 or cb125 are both good options
or get the grom if youre an utter badman
Caleb Jenkins
I would have to pay for lessons, I couldn't buy an A2 bike and ride it with L plates by myself.

Fuck what a cracking advertisment.

So how bad are Harley's, really?
Hudson Parker
eurocucks have to start on 125s
AHAAHAHHAHAHA
Samuel Cooper
Don't you freeze when you ride naked?
Ian Gutierrez
What bike
Isaac Kelly
Wrong.
Get a windscreen, get a better helmet.
Blake Brown
>tfw read chubbies parade and barred up
Evan Moore
naked bike
am layered up, but still feeling vulnerable
William Adams
you need a pretty damn big windscreen to keep bugs from hitting your head. most of the wind flow is aimed right at that spot with most screens
Adrian King
How about you buy fairings you homoman
Tyler Reyes
Because they are assholes that have a problem with non-moving vehicles. >cant work on your car >cant leave it in one spot for a week, they thinks it's broken and tow it >cant have motorcycles in colder months They have this mindset that they are being played for a storage facility. I think they office managers have a complex of some sort.
Connor Morgan
am trying to find a place right now m8. Im having to make a lot of sacrifices until i am settled. in any case im just gonna keep riding this GS until i upgrade to a better bike in the spring or late february.
depending if the weather quits being shitty and cold
Levi Moore
threaten to move
Samuel Foster
Hah they wouldn't care, theres a wait list for this place. They would have it filled in a week tops. I can't afford to break the lease. My fault for not reading every word of it.
Christian Fisher
start it up, ride out the driveway and bring it back inside to a different spot once a week. have you ever actually discussed this with the managers it's not like a bike should take anywhere near the space of a car. you could always get creative with bringing the bike into your apartment.
Connor Powell
They lease states no motorcycles allowed on property after November 1st. It will get towed no matter what I do with it. And I don't feel confident I can get it up 3 floors of a spiral staircase that my chubby neighbor can barely squeeze through
Cooper Wood
>not installing a winch and a platform on your balcony to raise and lower the bike
Logan White
Thats really shitty if they didnt tell you that when you registered the bike there. Id be pissed cause i dont have a car. How the fuck am i supposed to work if i cant have it there? Id consult with a lawyer and see if theres any way out of that. Phone consultations are usually free btw.
Lincoln Jones
>getting sued for property damage because I drilled holes in the balcony for a winch God forbid the balcony breaks and they send me the bill. It makes enough noise when I stand on it and im 150 lbs. They are really shitty and they get away with it cause it's the only cheap place that isn't rundown and filled with felons.
Matthew Brooks
what bike? detach wheels, remove forks, remove gas tank and i'd say you have a good chance of getting it up if you can borrow an extra pair of hands or using a trolley and some straps
it's an absolutely disgusting condition though and i'd be holding a grudge against the management. start plotting schemes against them
Zachary Gray
>about to sign up for msf >every single friend says they know someone who almost died or died >still want one, just don't like cars
Sucks being an indecisive person, just don't want to die but I want to.
Robert Gray
What nazi part of germany are they doing this?
Colton Nelson
>almost died probably exaggerations there are some things that are out of control in traffic but if you have good awareness/instinct and reactions, and don't ride like an idiot, you'll be fine. just doing the msf doesn't mean you need to keep riding anyway but once you start you'll be hooked i can almost guarantee
Gabriel Reyes
06 r6, that might work, but either way I'm not assembling and taking it apart every day to get it up and down. I can put it in my parents garage, i just wasn't done riding this year. They are forcing my to stop so early it's only 50f for fuck sake. But thanks for the help anyway guys. I think I'm just going to hibernate.
John Gray
>start plotting schemes against them I dumped out 10L of nasty black used diesel sump oil, while I rode around on their nice white concrete they were so concerned about.
still haven't been found out
Angel Sanders
Good old murrica, near detroit too. >city built on the success of automobiles, where you can't work on them at home and you cant ride bikes after November!
Benjamin Anderson
>Muh freedumbs
Thomas Campbell
Sounds like my apartment, I had to put mine away yesterday too. I was going to ride till the salt gets on the road but seasons over now. I'm looking at houses, apartments are just dictatorships.
Liam Gonzalez
>own appartment in condo >work on bike in my garage >haven't even bothered reading the rules becuase everybody does wtf they want
Too bad I don't have electricity in my garage.
Owen Anderson
A friend of mine got his bike on an 11th floor apartment by disassembling and reassembling it inside but he didn't ride it for all the winter. It was pretty fucking cash seeing it there though. If you can keep it somewhere safe that's easy, I got the impression you were going to have to sell it or buy a storage locker (basically handing your bike over to thieves desu)
Good, good, just don't get caught.
Brayden Rivera
Sounds nice user, i wish i had this luxury right now. What area are you in man? Seems like this shit only happens in northern states.
Michael Lee
Worst case rent a small unit at a storage facility.
Brandon Cook
Also michigan, if Was you. I work in the auto industry so I can't exactly move very easily. I'd love to go south.
Benjamin Sanchez
Michigan is in the top 5 states for motorcycle owners, why is it so hard to own one? Also theres auto industry else where too dude, you can work as a floor grunt in any factory without much expirience.
Bentley Sanders
This state is very easy to get riding in. $50 and you have your msf course and cycle endorsement. It's just some apartment complexes are shitty. >floor grunt I haven't done that in years man, I don't do production anymore actually.
Leo Roberts
Need new boots, occasional track days are a thing. These a good choice?
Kayden Mitchell
nighty night /dbt/
Josiah Jones
What if it's a grower and not a shower
Henry Robinson
Not bad really. Go ride one. If you enjoy it, get one
Christian Clark
Don`t fear.
Landon Martinez
Pick:
Ragù di tacchino
Ragù alla bolognese
Juan Young
Make your own sauce you lazy fuck. It's much better trust me.
Bentley Johnson
That's what I'm asking you dolt, wich should I make?
Caleb Wood
Haha I thought you meant you were buying ragu, which is a brand of jar sauce. In that case bolognese.
Daniel Perry
I thought that too.. What pasta is it going on?
Asher Gonzalez
ravioli ravioli give me the formuloli
Ian Garcia
Tagliatelle nigga.
NO
Benjamin Morales
Didn't all you pasta niggers die in the earthquake?
Carter Smith
Definitely di tacchino
Christian Cooper
Why not a nice Alfredo?
Andrew Morgan
Mmm, now I'm torn. If I go with the bolognese I can make lasagne.
Cameron Gray
Because some of us dont want to get fat, american. MAKE LASAGNE
Bentley Scott
Post good motorcycle foods. Sauerkraut is perfect, you can just stuff it in the tank bag and it'll adapt to the shape. Combine with Wurstblinker if possible.
Lucas James
Pasta is motorcyle food, eat it before hand and it'll adapt to shape of stomach. Combine with a nice paired wine if possible.
Andrew Morris
> riding drunk Explains Italian traffic.
Robert Reyes
und ja knackwurst
Josiah Nguyen
>implying a glass or two of wine will impair me.
Jace Anderson
Non-whites typically get drunk faster so yes, it will. > Italy > white
Ryder Smith
YOU SUMMONED ME?
Remember to always add more besciamella
Hunter Collins
Im half italian half russian. Im not white either way, but i can take a few drinks.
Eli Martin
>Remember to always add more besciamella Always.
Now, for the ragù, should I go with pancetta e mortadella or salsiccia?
Ryan Morgan
Bolognese would be better with salsiccia But if you're not doing lasagne pancetta is good too
Nicholas Watson
Thats what those Aussie sluts thought at the races.
Logan Martin
That sounds like the worst combination.
Justin Gutierrez
>ragù with salciccia
What the fuck, ragù must be made only with beef and bacon as meat.
When I asked him about the condition, he said it was fine and that the power commander "needed a tune".
I am not sure what that means.
Should I go in on it?
Ayden Hernandez
Nah, here we do it with sausages Sometimes i like to put in even some chili
Matthew Peterson
It means he didnt put a tune on it, or hes trying to hide some other issue with fueling or something.
Nathaniel Evans
>ragù alla chili What the fuck man
Nicholas Hernandez
This is my concern. It's a very odd thing to say. But with that said, it's a gixxer. There isn't much that can be wrong with it.
I am aware it will need a valve clearance check soon
Matthew Campbell
Jesus dude, not everyone selling a bike is trying to fuck you over, calm your paranoid ass down.
Kayden Flores
>he doesn't like spicy I bet you don't even smother your carbonara with black pepper
Jeremiah Cooper
YES THEY ARE Especially on craigslist. Ride it and see how it goes, valve checks are pretty easy the 2nd time.
David Gutierrez
Oh i do, but chilli does not belong on my pasta Are you schizophrenic?
Justin Hughes
I am not going to ride it. The guy is an hour away from me. I am pretty lazy and $2k isn't shit to me and I kinda want a 1000 for stupid reasons so internally this decision is a struggle.
But fuck
power commander...quickshifter....slip-on....god tier GSXR generation....there really isn't much that can be wrong with it
