ducati a best

I can see myself living in florida, i just cant deal with getting my property getting fucked by hurricanes every season

who /dslr/ here

>no twisties
>no mountains/elevation
>crap tracks

hell no

Fuck you my bike is orange you dumb nigger

Live on the Gulf side. Not really as much of an issue.

Just more excuse to take nice motorcycle road trips user

...

>Gulf side
>what were Camille, Opal, Katrina, and Erin?
I lived outside of Holt for 12 years. Gulf side gets plenty of fun; safer and cheaper inland though.

But hurricane parties are fun user.

They are. And having a deep well and a lil generator to keep the fridge and deep freeze cold (and A/C if you spend the $$$ on a nice one) was great, too.

we haven't seen a proper hurricane in years, and it's usually only one or two per season where I live

I won't lie, I don't know much about motorcycles.

I've just finished watching a few motorcycle crash videos, and some of them were just the guys making what seems to be a completely normal turn on a perfectly sunny day and their bikes just fall out from under them

why would that even happen? Are bikes really that unstable?

Post vids for review and analysis.

ppl r rly dumb; even if ur regulur dumb you can keep a bike balanced. those ppl are a special kind of dumb

Usually sand, gravel or some liquid.

Rider error or debris on road (so observation error).

Bikes will kill you if you're not alert or act retarded.

Sadly I'm poor and ain't got nothing fancy like that to worry about

Post them.

well here's one for example
youtu.be/yt_0cRxo_SQ?t=435

it doesn't look like there's much in the way of anything though

there are all sorts of things you can do to upset a bike the untrained viewer may not be aware of, the two most likely parts to lowside of a corner are.

1. 1/2 way through trailbraking, where balancing braking and turning with the front is the trickiest.

2. at the first touch of the throttle mid corner, it deloads some weight off the front wheel and adds a little more lateral force which can cause it to lose traction.

Both of these might appear to be "nothing" to the casual viewer.

Sometimes however.

It just is what it is, there was some shit on the road (diesel in this case) and off you go.

Diesel is satan's fuel for this reason.

that one's simple, in the middle of rural T intersections a gravel triangle will form as cars do not touch that section, it wears off the road and accumulates there in the middle.

Easy.

That's why you don't drive next to cars

Wow I cant believe that first fucker got up, I thought that truck went over his head

the crash in question is at 7:10

This is why I'm happy to stay under 50mph, if you have to lean a lot and you drive over a diesel slick it's game over

I already gave you a 100% correct answer here

That first one looks like he was on the front brake and then hit a patch of something or that crack and he locked it up, and didn't react in time to not wash out like that.

Definitely hit a patch of gravel.

I know I just wanted them to know which one I was talking about

it's scary that just gravel or gas could do all that

Usually when that happens you can react and save it and just pucker real hard.

Either hit gravel or punched the throttle during a turn, these aren't cars you can't do that shit

I grew up single-wide trailer trash. My folks worked, saved, and made it nicer/more bad-weather tolerant.

also why are most of these crash video compilations russian

I'm happy where I am in life. I have no complaints

Is that a 1970? That's fucking old dude why would you get something that old

blyats have nothing better to do

Ride 2 desperately needs more tracks

also a sale

t. poorfag

I THINK I CAN I THINK I CAN I THINK I CAN

Where abouts? I'm in Iowa now, but still visit FL from time to time. What's up with the stupid tolls around Niceville now, though?

>game won't let you ride backwards on the course
TRASH

Rear tyre puntured by nails on the way home from work 2 nights ago. No riding until next monday when i can get it too a tyre shop.

We speak English here nigger

thumpertalk is down reeeeee

what's a tyre

Does anyone still stall once in a while? I stalled pulling out of a gas station and I've been riding since last April. It was embarrassing as shit. Granted, it was the first time I've stalled since probably last summer but it makes me feel like I'm not really getting any better.

sometimes I forget to shift and I wind up trying to start in 5th or something
that or I turn my engine off with my highbeams on at a light and my battery's too weak to turn the engine over

The upside down way of spelling tire

Ride 2 has the CB600F Hornet and that makes me happy
but it doesn't have the CB1300 which is what I was really looking forward to

Anyone ever done HID retrofits on their bike? I'm wanting more light out of my F4i and don't want to do niggershit like pop in a HID or LED bulb into my stock reflector. These kits are pretty cheap and have good reviews but I don't know if I will need any extra supplies. Also do these act as both high and low beam or just low?

I stall my rm250 after riding my drz because using the clutch on a 2stroke is alot different and i am retarded and forget

Sometimes I forget you need to give it a little more gas when it's cold regardless of the RPM.

>tfw clutch might be a little fucked

Don't forget, you won't magically lowside on gravel or diesel as long as you're not riding like a madman

It's a good idea to ride a bike without much in the way of plastics anyways

Are sportbikes cool enough to outweigh their inconvenience?

No, but they are fast enough.

convenient motorcycles don't exist except for sidecars. you can load anything down with bags.

sportbikes just look really dumb loaded down compared to goldwings and dirtbikes with tusk boxes

I don't really care about going fast as long as I have low end power.

If anyone bullies in this thread... watch your back .... you're going to get it...

only kikes ride bikes

...

But I spent a lot of money on my bike and accessories. That's not very kike like

post boipucci

No u

my trips say you should or you will face keks wrath

Nigger frog ain't shit nigga

dubs confirm.

Remember this thread

Cool story bro

Yah they only ride bicycles.

wr500?

No, only kikes sell motorcycle accessories and gear.

Fuck rocks. /blog

it was a booty call you dumbass i bet you didnt even fuck her fagget

i will fug ur sister fagget

Dumb fucking question but

cycle-ergo is pretty cool but what exactly is the ideal riding position? How do I know which is good and which is bad?

Depends on speed and fairing design desu

Okay, for bikes similar to Grom or other weeb looking styles

I feel given the picture I would feel very silly and big on one

different for everyone

The ideal riding position for the grom is getting off and walking towards a better bike

Then whats the point of the site

Such as

To make hilarious images by putting in weird measurements.

DRZ400.

nah I'm joshin you man

CBR600F4i.

lel

Fug :-DDD

>doing a credit application over phone
>drunk and high
>he literally asks how much i spend on weed piss and pingas, give honest answer
im gonna get denied right

duh yea

>weed piss and pingas
thats pretty gay m8. why do you buy cock instead of boipucc?

well he sounded agitated when i kept giving him wrong information about addresses and shit
then talking about money he was cheerful
idk

Well shit, there's one on craigslist for $2500

Looks beat to hell and has 50K miles though

anyone?

>doing a credit application

offer him $1400

That's pretty clean for an F4i

Hondas with the reliability meme attached to them have usually been through worse, just because they can deal with it

The exhaust looks like it has some weird as fuck welding going on or maybe it's just a reflection

Pretty ugly m8, do they look better without fairings?

looks like its been droped several times and the carbon fiber and steel scaped+rust.

>do they look better without fairings?
no

What do you guys think of Honda Nighthawks
