Once upon a time there lived an American biker named Rick. One morning, he woke up, and decided to travel the world. For the next few weeks, Rick spent his days riding to and through some of the most popular European cities. After seeing all Europe had to offer, he moved on to explore the rest of the world. He was having the time of his life until he reached a small town in China. Unexpectedly, and out of nowhere, a beautiful Chinese maiden crossed his path, causing him to fly off and crash his motorcycle. Apologizing, the maiden offered Rick to pay for the repairs and a place to stay while they fixed his bike. "My name is Yu! It's an honor to meet you!" It turned out she was the daughter of a rich magistrate, so Rick spent the night in a small palace in the center of town. However, due to the scarcity of motorcycle parts, Rick had to spend several days in the palace, in the presence of Yu. Over the next few days, she took a liking to him and his strange American ways. As expected, Rick took a liking to her, too. The two quickly became inseparable, but Yu's father did not approve, for Rick was an outsider. By the time the motorcycle was finally up and running, Rick had fallen madly in love with Yu and refused to leave. The Magistrate had Rick banished from the town. He warned him if he ever came back, he would have him beheaded. Rick was devastated, he had no motivation to continue on the rest of his journey. It seemed as though there was nothing left for him in the world, if he didn't have his beloved Chinese maiden. So he did the only thing any other sane guy would do.... Rick rolled back into town screaming, I'm never gonna give Yu up. Brought to you by /dbt/

Thats gay though user. >tfw closes person on map is new Zealand user with the 2013 model of your bike.
Blake Wright
Anyone have any backpack recommendations?
Leo Gomez
Get yourself a Patagonia. Not because it's good for booking, but because patagucci is an excellent brand with great products.

My favorite back pack was my fox water proof one. Just got a canvas bag now.
Bentley Ortiz
Thx m8s
Kevin Sanchez
Isn't that a thigh pack or something like that?
James Mitchell
Military backpack. Gorillion straps, waterproof. 30 Bucks / 25L.
Don't fall for meme brands. Don't ever fall for "motorcycle specific" backpacks.
Blake Myers
I get all my backpacks, messenger bags, etc. at this guy, 6th' and Los Angeles st. Same stuff as in dept. stores but with some random brand label sewn in and sold for $3.33
Last month I sat on the subway across from a guy who had the exact same backpack I have, but with a "Jansport" label
Camden Lewis
>Don't fall for meme brands. Don't ever fall for "motorcycle specific" backpacks.
you are a fucking moron
Leo Gonzalez
The packs with a helmet bag attached are sort-of a good idea, but other than that, the mo-packs are just fashion posturing.
Caleb Clark
Yes. Pretty convenient for around town
Isaac Miller
But what would you carry in it on a bike? Like... for edc I have enough space between my jacket and pants pockets, it would be useful for carrying a notebook but for anything else that might be usefull like glasses it's pretty much a sacrifice you're making if you fall.
Austin Scott
>tfw fell for the leather meme >look like a leather fetish gay freak when off the bike >on the bike look cool as fuck
Caleb Murphy
Leather backpack meme, or leather assless chaps meme?
Ayden Wood
>wearing gear when youre not on the bike why?
Jonathan Foster
First aid supplies, multi tool, gun, water, other lil odds and ends. Or on a road trip things I'd like easily accessible and don't feel like putting in a tbag. Plenty of things you can do with it, and I'm not worried about anything being "sacrificed" if it's that important I won't have it with me on a bike
Charles Nelson
>straps made for free arm movement >extra strap around waist >extra strap-connector in front of chest
if you ever made a longer tour you would realize that all those things make a LOT of sense.
Gavin Lee
Usually my roadtrips include multiple people so my medikit is pretty big, maybe a tourniquet but you can get a smaller pack for that and put it somewhere where it's not likely it'll be ripped off your leg if you fall. And the rest is stuff I usually don't keep on my person, multitool is unlikely I'll use while riding and I doubt you can fit much water in there, maybe a 25cl bottle. I like it but I can't justify as a bike accessory.
Camden Parker
Sure. To each their own, user.
Grayson Young
Those are mainstream features, friend. I bought a pack at Staples a few years ago with those features for something around $35.
Dominic Nelson
>Jansport So, it's shit, uh? Go Eastpack or go home. Otherwhise you can go vintage Invicta.

Nothing screems more "gay" than that shit.

Jansport is pretty neat.
This.
Nolan Jones
My new exhaust surprised me a day early. It's not as loud as I expected, but I have to leave the DB killer in until I get a PCV, and the packing should burn in a little.
Camden Diaz
Guns are a fun hobby and an excellent tool for protection.
Hudson Foster
Euro fag detected
Carson Moore
>and an excellent tool for protection. I rather use an helmet and proper gear, but whatever floats your boat
Isaac Cooper
2/2 Finally got some okay pics. I need to get a used DSLR for high res Bairdposting.
Josiah Jackson

Kevin Perry
>leaving your gear laying around for nogs to steal
or did you fall for the $10000 panniers that can only fit a helmet and a onesie meme
If you wear a backpack while riding the moron is you. Enjoy your broken back.
>not strapping it to the bike
Gabriel Hill
what's your excuse for not having a single sided swingarm
Hudson Evans
If you act like a target, you'll get bullied. If you look like a mark, you'll get mugged.
I'm quite American.
Oliver Cruz
We know you're a gunfreak. >protection From what? Gunfreaks are seriously paranoid.
Jaxson Collins
Because its rice and objectively inferior to double sided
Michael Stewart
i'm not an endurance racer and don't want to make my bike heavier just so i can change tires slightly faster and forego wheel alignments
Justin Murphy
I know right senpai? Bussin str8 caps in that skid demon nigga
Easton Sanchez
I like shooting guns, but I own none and see no need to unless I want to Get a 12 gauge to shoot trap.
Dominic Smith
Black people, duh
Jackson Gray
>gunfreak That's an adorable word. Ima put that on one of my many gun bags.
Logan Hernandez
That truck must pollute like a transatlantic.
Evan King
You've got no idea. Gas mileage is terrible to.
Probably pollutes less than a VW though.
Ian Cruz
>insurance expired in september >looking at rates for new bike back then >remember it was about 300€ because I remember thinking it was convinient enough since I pay 250€ now >check rates now >500€
What. My risk certificate is not detected when I try to get a rate online, aren't insurance companies to make it available to their clients automatically?
Jonathan King
It probably produced less in total than a brand new Prius.
Thomas Nguyen
Thank god there's an ocean between us.
Nolan Sanders
forgot pic
Elijah Myers
That's why you use a bicycle like.
Daniel Sullivan
thank god I wouldn't have understood your post without that pic
Benjamin Young
I heard that fitting a flyscreen onto a naked will improve the aerodynamics, making it go faster.
Is this bullshit?
Matthew Anderson
Always glad to be of aid.
Adam Baker
Drill some airholes into the fairing
+6 hp
Zachary Jackson
Eh what? I drive a VW with a 2.0 TDI.
Xavier Peterson
it's a negligible difference without a full fairing.
if you want superior aerodynamics lose a few inches of height and call up motoGP and ask them if you can borrow one of their bikes
Daniel Lopez
Shitkat is an anti gun sack of shit. He's been sucking on Feinsteins dried up cunt too long
Michael Carter
Because ARs are like really cool legos that you can hunt with.
Samuel Reed
>removed stickers >cleaned baiku >plastidipped tank parts feels gud to do something in winter for the baiku what did you fagits do today?
Parker Gray
Really goddamn expensive Legos, I love them regardless though
Logan Hernandez
b-b-but muh sportsmanlike animal murder
you gotta use a bolt action remington/winchester grandpagun 30-06
Jacob Ortiz
Why not a 30-06 AR? Or 308
You get the residue off the plastics? I left before you asked how long to soak it
Benjamin Walker
We've had this conversation.
I like a pump action or over under.
Levi Wood
AR is cheap. Wtf are you talking about?

Elijah Carter
REEE
pls no bully
Leo Hill
Ar10 is just 308 and smaller rounds, some company was making an 06 tank a while back too And yeah they are expensive if you don't build shit guns.
And you still voice your displeasure with people having human rights
Adrian Foster
I let is soak for 2-3 minutes and tried to wipe it off. The edges lifted up and it's harder to see now because it's clean, but no. It seems like there's a thin layer of plastic/vinyl on top of the adhesive still or something.
Jace Thompson
I failed my cbt twice and now I ride a Ducati ss m8
Sebastian Martin
I like pic related as a slogan and a visual design, personally.
(The book is gr8 too.).
Isaiah Hughes
>Ducati >shit rider Checks out.
Hunter Carter
You can get an m&p sport 2 for under 700. That's a quality gun for cheap. I have pistols that cost over that
Joseph Richardson
Might just have to let it soak for a long time to dissolve the adhesive under it. You can try using an xacto blade to lift the top layer and start it peeling
Jack Allen
no
Wyatt Young
Naptha man. It'll keep your plastic in check, and will wipe adhesive off easily.
Your guaranteed life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness/property. Everything comes from there. Muh guns is an extension of that, the problem is that granting some people that right deprives others of the right to life.
Colton Ward
What 's a cheap exhaust maker in EU? Stock muffler is falling apart

Only the very best riders can handle a DUCATI

Ian Rogers
you can build quite a bit cheaper than that with (imo) respectable components too
Oliver Bailey
What are you biggest bike related fuck ups dbt? >Ran rm250 without tranny/clutch oil because of leaking crank seal but kept riding it >replace seal but somehow put it in wrong and it leaked even worse >Didnt buy wr200 for cheap when i had the chance, cant find any others for sale
Blake Gomez

Bentley Rodriguez
Still 8 weeks or so of this terrible shitty snowy weather.
Michael Phillips
You are responsible for your own security, no one else. Our legal system fails the people by letting violent criminals back on the streets without anything beyond free room and board for a punishment. Taking someone's defensive means is depriving them of the right to defend their life, property and livelihood
Yeah you can buy complete cheap ones that work good but if you want quality and not milspec you pay for it.
Brandon Barnes

Ian Sanders

Michael King
Bruh my 60 year old mother rides a Ducati, git gud.

Sure. But you're not building a better AR then daniel defense.

true, but it might be better than an m&p sport, no?
