How often do you guys squid? If I'm only street riding I just wear normal clothes, gloves, and a helmet

But if I know I'll be on the highway I gear up with an armored jacket

pretty much never. Jacket and kevlar jeans lets a lot of air through. Only thing that gets hot is my feet from the engine spewing hot air into them all day,

I'm lame and ATGATT 99% of the time. Sometimes I won't put riding pants on.
But I'm old and stuck in my ways I guess

If I'm going out just for the reason of riding I go ATGAT.

If I'm headed to work, friends house, restaurant, or whatever I wear my leather jacket, helmet, gloves, and leather boots. All I have to carry around is my helmet with gloves in it then I just take off my leather jacket and hang it on the chair or whatever.

Helmet is the most obnoxious thing to bring around, but at least it's a conversation starter.

just get a shop manual and start learning, motorcycles are dead simple to work on. What kind of bike is it?

I always wear my gloves and boots and obviously helmet is mandatory.
I don't own any riding pants, I just wear my jeans or khakis if I'm working.

Riding jacket if I'm going far, if I'm not I just wear my thick sweater underneath it.

I love this fucking jacket but I need something cooler for the summer.

A-am I just ugly?

2013 CB500F

yeah it's super easy to work on. Not many fairings to screw around with, just make sure you follow the manual to a T.

>weather is cold
don't squid

>heavy traffic
don't squid

>hot as fuck
still try not to squid, boots/gloves/jeans at a minimum

I rarely wear a jacket during summer because I would bake, but try to wear all my other gear. During winter, it's more convenient NOT to squid.

Post selfie

guys like to think girls care, but they don't.
ride for you not the womyn

I'm thinking of getting a CB500F.
I don't like the reduced fairings.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be a very popular/common motorcycle so I can't find pictures of it unfaired

I was speaking to a dealership guy the other day and he said it would be possible to remove them, but it would look weird because it would expose stuff not necessarily designed to be seen.

how viable is his remark?

Get an sv650
>T. Honda fanboi

motorcycles make a 6/10 guy become an 8/10 to girls so if it's not helping then I don't know what to tell you.

>I don't own any riding pants

Why the fuck not?

There's literally no excuse to not have a kevlar pair of jeans or cargo pants, shit isn't even expensive.

I considred it but bruh I'm not made of money

Not that guy, but I wonder how well Duluth jeans would be as riding pants

Omegamuff if you're there I think you're very pretty and I would like to meet with you, fall in love then be in a relationship.

We'd ride around together then you'd ride me.

>Girls love my cars

>Girls love my bikes

>Am ugly as fuck, overweight and short

You're probably just awkward user.

Finance used if you're not made of money ya dingus.

No bully

Is that a trex on your helmet?

unfortunately the only bikes in my area are cruisers. I've been searching for two years and I have never once seen an sv650 on craigslist.

Get yourself a nice comfy cruisers man. Kawasaki cruisers are nice

You look beta and bet your really ugly

Can't you just look at different state craiglist and find a good bike?

I live in south florida, the only other state here is the state of deep depression

I've checked other counties too and they're all supersports or, again, cruisers

it's a fish
i said no bully

I mean it's florida. Not much need for much besides a cruiser anyway.
Sweet. 10/10 would ride with you

You look cool, what bike do you ride?

aprilia tuono

Get an older CB600/Hornet 600/Hornet 599 whatever its called where you are. Much better bike.

Oh trust me, the hornet gives me a MASSIVE boner. I would kill for one.

The problem is they (like all standards in the states) are rare as fuck. I've searched high and low and I just can't find one.

>standards rare

"No."

Tell me why I shouldn't want this

Please

Yes. Again, at least in my neck of the woods.

>like all standards in the states

"No."

Nobody can. If you want it, buy it.
It's literally that simple

poor cornering clearance means it cannot make it very far up the graph of truth.

Ahh. Good ol maymays

Summoning crashedDaytonaAnon

You wanna ride tomorrow senpai?

how can it be a maymay when it's the graph of truth?

Judging by this shitty photshop job I made, should I paint my bash plate + footpegs black?

>maymays intensify
dbt don't change much

>Cuckold nobike:the post

More maymays plox

Looks like something gays in LA would buy to take a trip to the local gay bondage bar and get a nice aids injection.

Can't, I'm going up to Milwaukee for a bike show early tomorrow.

The question wasn't about why it's your favourite bike but I appreciate your opinion anyway

The funny thing is all the gays on dbt have sportbikes.

Post boipucci bby ;)

Rip. Post pics at least.

It's probably gonna be a bunch of hipster shit, but I'll post anything actually interesting I find.

Its my favorite biek bby :^)
Gays ride dual sports/sumos/dirt bieks.

Going to get cuckold by tyrone i see.

Lol. No

>mr. cummy, baird, octopie

pray do tell, what bikes do those lads ride again?

>still in denial
Uh huh

That sucks hombre. How about a Fz07 or are they out of your price range?

compression issues? FI btw

learn yourself then you lazy nigger, it aint gonna fix itself

Like who

>ptwin
Lol no thanks

Is there fuel in it?

Hope you didn't buy an R1!

Ja

Start with the easy stuff, check condition of your battery and check it is charging properly, check condition of air filter and fuel filter and consider trying a MAF cleaner, make sure any sensors are plugged in properly.
If you can check compression it might be worth a look but IMO it's unlikely and would show itself when riding normally, as would a faulty fuel pump.

My bet is on the battery or its charging systems.

Alright senpai, will check those things out thanks

>Yamaha

AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

i wear everything but pants if i'm only going for a short ride, if i'm out for the day i put overpants on.

not that guy, but plus sized pants that don't rape my wallet, fit right, and are of quality are extremely hard to find.

if you're talking about the fire hose pants, they'll save your skin at slower speeds. firefighter here, our hoses aren't made to take sliding across pavement, just to resist heat and abrasion sliding across a floor, i've seen hose that's fallen off the truck and been dragged, it doesn't take much to tear it up.

sure

just buy a basic toolkit if your bike doesn't have one already. this shit isn't rocket science

fuel filter dirty?

Would you guys ever buy a brand new bike?

New cars don't really interest me but I'd like to own a new bike sometime in my life. Never owned something new, usually buy when it's a few years old and already lost 40% of its value.

not unless i didn't give a shit about money anymore. why buy new when you can buy something that will fool everyone just the same?

Around town or commuting i wear kevlar jeans, armoured jacket, gloves, boots etc.
wouldnt mind a power ranger condom for the tougay though.

My last bike I got I bought brand new. No regerts here

i bought a new 2016 because i was going from a 650 to a zx6r and i couldn't for the life of me find one with ABS that was used.

I have once and it is the only bike i can never sell unless i am ok with losing thousands of dollars spent on it.

thing has cost like 20k over the past 8 years and id only get 5 for it today.

>wanting ABS
top kek m8

>plus sized pants

You should be riding a bicycle, fatty.

I only buy new bikes for company promotional purposes as a tax write off, you'd have to be fucking retarded to buy a new bike with your own money.

>wearing any gear whatsoever kek

abs is just like a helmet 99% of the time you don't need it but when you do you'll be glad you have it cuck

plus im not poor like you so i can afford it

I sorta want one just for the experience.

>you'd have to be fucking retarded to buy a new bike with your own money.
Is this how poor people justify owning shit?

lol get a job loser

>he can't even lock his rear wheel to get the bike sliding into corners
>he doesn't know how much of his brakes to use
>he thinks a computer cutting the braking power while they are only 80% engaged is helping him stop better
>he thinks this will save his life
People who have these boy stiffies over ABS are the same people who run never practice emergency braking then wonder why they ate shit the one time they actually needed to stop the bike.

I own a brand new motorcycle

1180 on the clock

Don't do it

The heartbreak of knowing that at some point it's going to look anything other than brand new is disgusting.

If you have buyers remorse this bad you got a shit bike

or i could just brake normally and if i fuck up abs will save me

why the fuck do you care anyway? its not your bike. you'll never ride it. don't worry about it fag. stick to your 250

so what kinda sport bike you ride?

On the contrary I love it
It just sucks knowing it'll eventually look anything other than brand new and I know what it looked like then

You know you can just say the truth really hurts right?

you're right. i'll go in the garage and pull the fuse for it. wtf was i thinking trying to be as safe as possible

sure, if I was rich enough.

I'm not tho, imo you should be able to replace a bike out of pocket, until then, you can't really "afford it"

Now you are getting it, post chicken strips

yes I will stick to my 300 lb wet weight 50+ hp 250 thanks

Why don't you both post bike or fuck off

leave me alone bully
