Thanks kitty
Tis the harley life I spose

Her feet look like dolphin flippers. Eww

And yet is nimble as fuck

Light bikes are garbage on the highway.

Eh
I've ridden it
Its heavy and doesn't like going slow
Pretty comfy above 40mph though

It's only for bikes

Why does everyone on /dbt/ say highway when they mean interstate (freeway)
A highway is a 2 lane road with traffic going both directions and are usually 55mph.
The interstate is a higher speed, one way, multi lane road.

Seems maneuverable enough to me when the cops do that cute lil training course

Thanks for the after school special!

Someone help, what none is this??? I'm pretty sure it's a street fighter but I need specifics.

>51cc and 500cc
>european bikes
hurrr
so basically only ktms

It may be
I'm used.to riding a ninja 250
That road king felt like a truck with two wheels to me

I dunno, but the circular emblem on the tank could be Yamaha.

I have one similar. Works great, only had one soak through but that was riding in a tropical storm system for 6 hours.

Buy 40 year old bike to fix up for shits and giggles.

More funner-er

>Affected manufacturers include Aprilla, Beta. BMW, Ducati, Fantic, Gas Gas, Husqvarna, KTM, Montesa, Piaggio, Scorpa, Sherco, TM and Vespa.

Up there with my vtx 1800

>bike

Wisdom of choice depends on specific bike and condition. Eventually you'll get so fast that turning usedbikes becomes trivial and so does maintaining anything else. Stick with it.

fz1 probably

I was right, it's a Yamaha FZ-09.

fz09.org/forum/10-fz-09-builds/9674-different-options-headlights-3.html

Given the round emblem on the tank there are high chances it's a gay mobile.

So just fix up my current bike, grab another one and repair them both while they fall apart.
That sounds like fun actually

You have the 2500? Answer is yes if you can fit 'em. I has trucked manybikes.

Since you has 2500, keep an eye out for a used liftgate. This is mine and it's moved many useful things including a mill and a Miller 340 welder tho I had to assist it with a jack for those loads:

ford-trucks.com/forums/888121-how-to-install-a-used-tommy-gate-liftgate.html

Weight wise yes, but the bed may not be wide enough for it.

Do it right and they won't fucking fall apart. Mine don't and most are old Harleys with very high miles.

He may make it with previously discussed packing between.

Harley owner should buy a non-shit trailer. It makes life so much easier. BTW I prefer dual axle so losing a tire doesn't disable the vehicle.

Thaaaaank you, my mind is at peace again

Yeah 2500 Sierra
Those lifts are neat but im not sure how often I'd use it
I have an aluminum ramp that kind of slides in there now
That may be problem
But maybe I can angle them a bit the bed is 8ft should have more room to put them length wise

>Aprilia 4V
>Husqvarna Nuda

Why are Italian bikes always the best bikes? How can the Germans and the Japanese even compete?

I am worried about my pillows flying out of the bed onto the highway
My mother gave me those
I'll use more pool noodles instead of pillows

Fix it again tony!

Except those bikes are reliable.

>yfw without tony chrysler would be on its ass now
>still better than ford

Serious question
Do you have aspergers?

>chrysler
>anything but the worst american carmaker
nigger please

I've never seen a two stroke with the expansion chamber so far from the engine. Is there a reason for this design?

It's winter here faggot

not sure if srs airbag, but that's a 4 stroke

Its a 4 stroke sonny and its probably not an exp chamber ur lookin at ;)
Sucks to suck I ride all winter

Vtx 1300>1800

Not that I know of
I know im not the cleanest onion in the fridge though

Where u guys goin anyway?

Anyone else in NJ notice that it only snowed for 2 days? Is it global warming?

That's an FZ8, not an FZ-09.

We're roommates taking a vacation trip to Florida
Taking our bikes but vfr bro is too pussy ride ride there
>ill be honest I don't want to either

From where? If the trip is like less than 12 hours I'd ride lol.

Anybody here upgraded the horn on their bike? I'm looking at the Denali Soundbomb but not sure what other good options there are.

>inb4 just rev your engine

Haven't you heard Trump? Global warming is a meme, it doesn't exist. It's always been snowing that little in NJ, you just remember it wrong.

Freeway Blasters, accept no substitute.

I haven't used my horn in two years of riding I think.

About the middle of Wisconsin to Jacksonville FL
Supposed to be a 20 hour trip and we're not stopping for the night.

>has a VFR
>doesn't want to ride across the country
what a faggot, I could understand not wanting to do it on the 250, and I wouldn't be surprised the Harleyfag doesn't want to. But why buy a viffer if you're going to trailer it? That's like this dude I know who trailered his Goldwing to Colorado.

>20hr car ride with 3 dudes in a single cab
Handies goin around to easy the boredom?

I havent used my horn ever.
Cuz i never installed it.

Vfr bro has a 'bad back' so he won't do it
My ninja wouldn't make it that far at 70mph ha.
Harley bro was the only one down for the ride surprisingly
Nah they ugly

>20 hours non stop

Whether you ride ore drive, you're going to want to shoot yourself at about 14 hours in.

>My ninja wouldn't make it that far at 70mph ha.
If it has been maintined there's no reason it wouldn't. Might not be pleasant for the rider though.

I've done the trip before in a car
Cant say it was fun but it wasn't awful
But on the way back i fell asleep and totaled my car so.. no benadryl this time.

Who gets a touring oriented bike and don't do long runs on it?

>Wasn't awful
>Totaled his car

Average /dbt/ poster in a nutshell...

>they trust a retarded onion to drive for 20 hours
>he wrecked last time
So you ARE trying to kill them

How the fuck was that not awful? This seriously cant be the mind set on dbt.

It has 90,000 miles and burn a Lil oil
I mean it would probably make it but id feel bad for it
My roommate
Benadryl makes me sleepy
If i crash the truck I don't get to keep the bikes so.. no.

People who like the powaa and the comfort? Or maybe even the aestheticc.

I've done this in DC before....

Holy shit, learn how to ride.

Sell ninja. Get a bike you can do touring on.
Shits fun

I was fine on the way there
The way back though I partied all night before and didn't sleep left at like 4pm and had benadryl csuse of allergies
Was just a bad combo I promise I don't have sleeping disorder
How to ride? I was driving though and won't make same mistake this time

Fucking onion lol god damn dude you are 100% retarded

Congrats, no wonder /dbt/ is fucking dead. Shitposting drz meme bikes and dirtfags in general have destroyed something that used to the best thing on Veeky Forums.

That's like buying a Lincoln Town car for in city driving.

Dude this shit just got good

I like the dirtbike riders.

>having autism

Surely won't happen, US is the biggest bike market on earth and manufacturers are rich af. Scare tactics user

>sleeping disorder
No mother fucker you have a mental disorder

But did you think it wasnt bad that you totaled your car?
So your saying you wont make the same mistake of driving on meds? Idk man id put you in the bed of the truck and leave you there.

Fuck off, Moot. You don't even post OC.

It's the middle of fucking winter. About the only thing there is to ride is dirt. Roads are shit and it's fucking cold unless you're in the deep south.

:(
I guess I can make harley bro drive

Sounds like a good idea to me.

I miss the r1 guy meme, I havn't seen it posted in ages :(
