>implying there's such a thing as "too cold to ride"
Matthew King
My gloves have holes in them, just for that water evaporation cooling effect in the snow.
Jaxon Russell
Rate my new bike please
Leo Harris
Rotta/10
David Ramirez
Anons tought you were dead m8.
Robert Sanchez
8/10 I;m pretty jelly.
Parker Foster
I love this bike, but holy fuck after 6 years of riding it I want something with a modicum of comfort. Sooo, new bike or is it time for rearsets, higherbars and an actual seat instead of that hard plastic shit I put my ass on.
Aiden Roberts
new bike m8
Jose Davis
Wellp, you're about the nth person to suggest new bike, keep Duc racey. Thinkin' maybe ZX14R or a mint 1100XX. Throw on some hardbags and ergo bits and embarrass people on a hyper-tourer sounds fun. There's a place near me selling ZX14R's for 10k. New...
Nathan Evans

Zachary Mitchell
Here in pastaland lots of people tour on ducks Just get risers, highway pegs and an aftermarket butt cushion
Christopher Wood
I think I can get like a 1 inch rise max. The fairing and tank limit literally everything for bars. What do you mean by highway pegs? The only time I use that term is with cruisers. I think I can make my own version of the DP Superpole seat. They're pretty comfy.
Jack Howard
Have you gone hektik on it
Jackson Wright
Go for a new bike, if you put all that shit on your Duc you'll ruin the riding position and feel for getting hektik and it still won't be as comfortable as a sport tourer or ADV.
Jace Bell
YOU BAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
Aiden Parker
Rate my new bike. Its the white one
Cameron Diaz
First day, still haven't broken the engine in so not yet
Owen Bell

Joseph Bell
Why are there two threads?
OP can you not count?
Chase Reyes
Would ride 10/10
Charles Bailey
I buyed this bike also last week. Rate please
Lucas Phillips
because retards wanted to start motovlog, this isn't fucking /r/motorcycles no one cares what you say, deal with it.
Joshua Fisher
This thread was made like 15 seconds after the current thread. Fairly common occurrence when OP is such a fucking faggot that he makes it scooty pooty edition.
May as well fish for (You)s in both, user, and wait until next thread.
Shiny as fuck Suzuki/10
Aaron Price
Fuck off American cuck
Jackson Ward
Does this count. Is two stroke so it counts right?
William Robinson
So dbt everytime I go riding someone sticks their finger in my pipe. I feel as if I have been raped. Plz halp
Nathan Perez
Why is this so funny?
Nicholas Martin
Wish I had the video clip he sent me. He was running the rim.and everything
Sebastian Moore
Lol are you wearing sneakers? I ride in denim, and a t shirt sometimes but at least wear something to keep your ankles from breaking. Maybe even some gloves?
John Ward
This was first day I took it out b4 gear showed up. I don't normally squid but that day I said fuck it I wanna ride. Prolly bad idea since I had never been on a bike b4. But it all worked out ok.
Isaiah Lopez
This is bait
Jace Reyes
I did the same thing for a few days before I had any gear. Just be safe :)
Aaron Johnson
>Turning left on a protected left >Truck slams on the brakes in front of me, some asshole was turning right on red in front of him and he was trying to u-turn >Lightly bump his bumper, pull over >He speeds off
Blessing in disguise, no damage to baiku and didn't have to deal with insurance.
Ryan Morales
No bait sir. Bought it 3rd hand asked my cousin how to ride it he said you gonna on and just do it.
That's what I did.
Pic upside down because fuck you that's why
David Howard
Best liter currently (including panigale)? The rsv4 has dat sound, but the s1000rr is comf and fast, and ducati is beautiful looking. R1m comes with pretty much universal recommendations, and there's a good deal of hype for the new suzuki too. Which would /dbt/ get if they had the money, and why?
Aiden Watson
Kawasaki H2 or H2R then suck pay off people to legalize it for the street. Its a fucking supercharged hyperbike. Nothing (my opinion) comes close to the complete level of insanity of that bike (fuckin winglets for downforce!). Except maybe the Desmocedici RR. Because fuck its a god damn Desmocedici.
Luis Reed
You Australian? Turn that shit the right way
Hunter Cruz
Not him but do you really have ti wear shit for sport bikes? Do they make good dailys or would you rather suggest a standard or wven a cruiser
Thomas Young
POLL ROUND 2 (because hurr durr democracy)
Pick the final destination, time frame, and prove you're not american.
If this is some sorta bait, I'll be mad. But yes you should seriously wear gloves, helmet, over ankle boots at a minimum. If not for you, but for the retarded cagers driving 2 ton no blinker lane merging death yachts.
Isaac Wood
It really all depends how much you like your skin. You should always wear gear but if you don't it's on you. I think that cbr is comfy longest ride I took was 4 hours and my wrist was just sore.
Plus it goes fast when I wanna go fast
Oliver Long
Oh and the new HP4R Bimmer is codially invited to lick my ballsack. Fuck their overpriced horseshit bikes. Bimmer cucks are like Mopar cucks. Fuck em both.
Zachary Price
>sportcucks
Brayden Bell
Is that universal on all bikes? Or are cruisers/standards exempted Never really seen anyone do that around here
Carson Wood
All The Gear All The Time.
Luis Lee
You live near retards then.
Ethan Roberts
...
Leo Jenkins
Yes literally all bikes. Even a god damn moped. You gonna be wishing you strapped that helmet strap and wore some boots when granma "thinks she can make it" and cuts you off and you break your ankles, lose your tricep from roadrash and have are in a coma because your helmet flew off with your shoes.
Jace Cook
All The Gear And No Fucking Idea
Easton Kelly
>wr450killer
Austin Peterson
It's your skin
Please wear gear user, doesn't matter what you're riding or where you're going.
Motorcycling is awesome, you want to do it as long as possible
Losing the skin on your hands means no riding for weeks as well as loss of hours at work and general hellish trouble. A $30 pair of riding gloves helps dramatically, better gear is always best.
Luis Turner
so much power it flips if you look at it wrong
Luis Turner
The only thing i ever wear riding was a denim and a helmet
Thanks for the input ill look into buying gear
Oliver Sullivan
Over ankle boots and gloves are cheap, and not gawdy if you don't want them to be. Thanks for not broing out and making claims like "but Im careful!"
Ride safe, friend.
Josiah Perry
I genuinely hope you do, at least get a pair of gloves and some sturdy over-the-ankle boots. A jacket with padding in the elbows and shoulders will help too and if you're unwilling to wear stupid over pants or riding jeans you can always buy CE-approved knee/shin guards for $70 or so and save your very fragile and complicated knees from being disassembled
Carter Morgan
How many CS bearings have you replaced? Also posting a 250 with more HP and 70lbs lighter all while being cheaper on the used market
Kevin Foster
Forgot pic
Andrew Cruz
none. >a 2015 FE250 cheaper than a used DR-Z of any year no
Zachary Gomez
>get in a wreck >blah blah blah insurance blah attorneys >bike totaled >ruled no fault >fuck >buying a new bike this week >jumping from 44 hp to 104 hp
How do I not kill myself?
webbum unrelated, me messing with a buddy
Logan Nguyen
LMAO, what an unreliable heap of sewing machine.
Parker Evans
I did the same. You will be fine.
Jose Nguyen
you could plan your commute through slower traffic roads, or you know just stick to basics
Brayden Clark
Buy the sv650
Jaxon Richardson
Go do MSF again? Uhhh, remember your throttle hand is operated by your brain and use good judgement! You'll be fine. Have fun.
Benjamin Collins
b-but I'm buying an SV1000
I mean you're right, but I feel like I've learned bad habits on my slowbike. On my old bike I could just go WOT and nothing terrible would happen, but I'm sure if I did this on my newused bike I'd just wash out and eat shit
Bentley Ramirez
lol you're the guy who always rides like a retard. not surprised you crashed.
>jumping from 44hp to 104hp Assuming you're buying a 600cc i4? They're super easy to ride. Really fast when you mean to but totally controllable, especially with the revs low.
Andrew Butler
Just view it as starting over again.
Brayden Perez
This thread gave me retardation.
Camden Rivera
I know what you mean, I drive my daily like like a dick on some days but you just need to tell yourself that for a little bit the hektik will be in the future or late at night on the highway
Jackson Jackson
Have you had a crash yet?
Lincoln Rodriguez
>lol you're the guy who always rides like a retard. not surprised you crashed. I was waiting for this, but you're right. It was an eye-opener for sure, but it's actually a 1000cc vtwin
Yes, it was super shitty, pending litigation. I'll be healthy second week of December, thankfully.
Mason Foster
This, pretty much. 600cc super sports are actually pretty easy to ride. Just keep the revs low until you're comfortable with the bike and you're good.
Nicholas Cook
Recently sold my big bike. Riding my monkey bike i've had since i was 16 again every day. So much more fun and surprisingly comfortable compared to a sportsbike.
Camden Rivera
...
William Miller
>I feel like I've learned bad habits on my slowbike Yeah but it looks like your bad habits are mostly just being retarded and not getting out of the way of danger. A more powerful bike won't make that worse, you just twist the throttle less.
Luis Cooper
Mad jelly. Even if it is chinkshit.
Dominic Edwards
Are there any bikes with a limited slip differential?
Adam Phillips
maybe a boss hoss
Angel Rivera
Heading to LA tomorrow, so I packed all the important stuff
