flat blacc mattay

That's a type of paint yes.

I was looking for a more specific answer, like a product that's known for making automotive weather resistant paint that looks like military paint

>less efficient, more maintenance heavy fueling
>not only does your bike go slower, but you spend less time riding it too

>millitary-style paintjob
use the cheapest bulk shit you can find that's manufactured consistently

krylon works fine, but dont forget to add the varnish after painting.

There was some liquid on my garage floor under the bike.
I was wondering what it was so I smelled it, kind of smelt like cardboard but it tasted like fruity pebbles
What is my bike leaking?
It was clear and sorta thick

Krylon also makes a decent spray can clearcoat. Just make sure to prep properly first it makes a huge difference in the finish.
Does anyone vape in your garage? It sounds like a flavor I've tried

Yes my son actually
Ill ask him if he spilled it
Cause theres nothing on the bike

New shock, bitches! Off a Bandit 1200.

Your son is sitting on your bike and vaping

If you let this continue he'll grow up to drive a BRZ and ride a GSXR

YOU.

What did you use to paint your bike? cheapest rattlecan or something particular?

>buy a used bike
>seems fine
>months later, realize that it's missing a trim piece that it should have, aftermarket turn signals, was never offered in that color, etc

fug

As long as he finishes college I dont really care. Im glad he quit smoking.

I'm now scared I will get rekt when filtering with my saddlebags.

They are same width as the handlebars.

Was probably crashed but if it runs fine Oh well.

>"Dad, this is my girlfriend, sachiko. I love him very much and would like your blessing to marry him"
>sachiko adds in a very deep voiced "nyaa"
>you could have prevented this

At least you wont scratch anything. Cagers won't even notice.

Half my car is repainted by the previous owner. You can see the different color tones. So what.

antifreeze

>not filtering with spiked saddlebags
>not flipping your muffler around so it announces your presence

Post bikes

...

Thats sexy

Yeah, cheapest, I think it was Motip. Acrylic.
Prep is everything.
>sand with 400, clear dust off
>paint thin layer, let dry
>wetsand with 800, wash, let dry
>thin layer, let dry
>wet 800, wash, dry
>thin layer, dry
>wet 800, wash, dry
>thin layer, dry
>wetsand with 1200, wash, let dry
>clearcoat, let dry
>wetsand with 2000, wash, let dry
>clear coat, let dry
>wait for a month (you can ride if you want)
>wash, wax, polish

Never mix acrylic and alkyd products.

Pic related is my bike before the crash, self-painted using above method.

Hey bretty good.

I wanna do a military like paint job so I'll probably skip some sanding.

Pic related is from this summer but now I skipped the prep almost entirely and didn't use clearcoat because I don't give a fuck anymore.

And this is literally at this very second.

Looks cool.
I would be afraid of getting hit though

Also new shock installed.

Why did you replace to original?

I did my license on a pearl white Honda CB650 with a hi-viz vest on and nearly got run over twice. It don't matter what kinda bike you have, they're still not gonna see you.

the*

120k km original shock, non-serviceable and shit from the factory. I upgraded the front suspension last winter, now it was time for the rear.

That gray color, that's what I want to use.

Code? or brand?

You mean the gray patterns on the fairings? That's just some dark gray from the Maston acrylic range, don't remember the code.

...

>builds "super"moto
>still uses dual sport tires
for what purpose

Those are like 90% street and 10% dirt
Maybe he has a gravel driveway.
Super motos can go offroad a bit too

I take the MSF this weekend
What am I in for and how do I pass?

Dont put a foot down.
Relax relax relax
No whoolies or stoppies
Easy

Won't the bike fall over if I'm going at a really low speed though?

Not if you have even the smallest amount of balance.
And relax. If you tense up, youll fall.
Cant you practice somewhere?

I can't afford a motorcycle

They why are you taking the msf?

Use a bicycle.

Just relax, you'll have fun and learn some cool things, easy class too, the instructors are typically helpful and very good at explaining things.

I have no doubt you'll pass, things will come naturally after they teach you the fundamentals.

Because girls literally won't fuck you unless you know how to drive a motorcycle

But how will they know you can ride (which you cant) if you dont have a motorcycle?

Looking on my license at the endorsements

Protip: if you can't get pussy without a bike, you won't get any with one.

But thats lying.
Because youre not a rider without a bike.
Also what if they ask for a ride?

>I rode 125cc bikes so hard that I went bald.

t. One two five man.

125cc lowers your testosterone levels, hence your baldness. You should have known this, you have only yourself to blame.

WR125 will do that

Not if you get gud. Practice on a bicycle. They'll give you tips for the maneuvers. Besides, they emphasize using the training time to push yourself a little, you won't have to go insanely slow speed, go however slow you're comfortable and they'll still count it.
As long as you don't set a foot down or drop the bike during the final test, you'll pass.

smoke rope tobacco and you can grow hair in all sorts of places and redeem your manhood

>want to save money
>want to buy things for bike
reeeeeeeee etc.

So do it

I just want it on my head. I need my body to stay smooth so I can be a convincing TV.

...

TV?

I consider buying a Piaggio Moped (or any other moped I like and isn't expensive). Any reasons why I shouldn't?

I mostly look for a quick and cheap A-to-B vehicle.

Why a moped?
Get an XL185s

I'm having a really good day after getting multiple bits of good news, I hope you're having a good day too, and if you're not.

Things will get better.

Thanks, I hope so.

Enjoy it while it's good.

I would get propper bike, but I'd need to apply for an A-category lincence which I'd expect to drop a good buck for.

Mopeds are AM over here which you get automatically if you've passed any other category beforehand.

So maybe a cub or ct90 or ct70?
Some places consider them scooters

I think I fell in platonic love over the internet with this bike. I'd like to get one (after the Hornet 600), 2009 model is really close where I live. But nobody around has it so I litteraly have no clue how deep sinkhole this can be.

What is the Veeky Forums hivemind's opinion about MT-01?

It's not a bad option if you can't get your hands on a WR125.

Its yamaha. Its great.

The law here says that in order to fall under the AM category the given vehicle needs to

>have his maximum built speed over 25 km/h but should not exceed 45 km/h
>have a cubic capacity of maximum 50 cubic centimeters
>mass should not exceed 350 kilograms

I do realise it sounds awfully boring though.

Just get your motocycle license.

One of us.One of us.One of us.One of us.One of us.One of us.One of us.One of us.

etc.

Rough.
There is a cub50
Otherwise whatever. A 50 is a 50.
Street legal a PW50

post ur bikes or get out

...

Reeeee

>that wiring

...

Love it. I could not have made a better decision for my first bike than the GS500. She forgives me for every mistake I kade/make and all small problems that may occur, you can handle by yourself with very little knowledge.

And it only cost me 680 Euros

?

It's factory.

GS500 p gud bike
Dont let them meme you

it aint no R1 but it sure as hell chooches along nicely

SUZUKI A SHIT

SUZUKI A BEST
