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
Isaiah Sanders
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,
Robert Moore
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
Blake Campbell
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.
Eli Nelson
just get a shop manual and start learning, motorcycles are dead simple to work on. What kind of bike is it?
Brayden Green
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.

Gabriel Cruz
2013 CB500F
Cameron Martinez
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.
Sebastian Hernandez
>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.

Aiden Reyes
guys like to think girls care, but they don't. ride for you not the womyn
Anthony Davis
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?
Kevin Ortiz
Get an sv650 >T. Honda fanboi
Charles Collins
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.
Hudson Anderson
>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.
Asher Gomez
I considred it but bruh I'm not made of money
Cooper Stewart
Not that guy, but I wonder how well Duluth jeans would be as riding pants
Logan Flores
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.
Michael Adams
>Girls love my cars
>Girls love my bikes
>Am ugly as fuck, overweight and short
You're probably just awkward user.
Camden Adams
Finance used if you're not made of money ya dingus.
Benjamin Johnson
No bully
James Moore
Is that a trex on your helmet?
Grayson Wright
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.
Asher Campbell
Get yourself a nice comfy cruisers man. Kawasaki cruisers are nice
Jordan Flores
You look beta and bet your really ugly
Connor Nguyen
Can't you just look at different state craiglist and find a good bike?
Joseph Long
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
Michael Hernandez
it's a fish i said no bully
Josiah Green
I mean it's florida. Not much need for much besides a cruiser anyway. Sweet. 10/10 would ride with you
Evan Bell
You look cool, what bike do you ride?
Grayson Diaz
aprilia tuono
Carson Diaz
Get an older CB600/Hornet 600/Hornet 599 whatever its called where you are. Much better bike.
Logan Baker
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.
Kayden Howard
>standards rare
"No."
Ryan Ortiz
Tell me why I shouldn't want this
Please
Brayden Gray
Yes. Again, at least in my neck of the woods.
Juan Carter
>like all standards in the states
"No."
Blake Wright
Nobody can. If you want it, buy it. It's literally that simple
Joseph Long
poor cornering clearance means it cannot make it very far up the graph of truth.
Anthony Harris
Ahh. Good ol maymays
Nolan Cruz
Summoning crashedDaytonaAnon
You wanna ride tomorrow senpai?
Sebastian Brooks
how can it be a maymay when it's the graph of truth?
Luis Brown
Judging by this shitty photshop job I made, should I paint my bash plate + footpegs black?
Liam Bailey
>maymays intensify dbt don't change much
Adam Rivera
>Cuckold nobike:the post
Dylan Foster
More maymays plox
Asher Turner
Looks like something gays in LA would buy to take a trip to the local gay bondage bar and get a nice aids injection.
Kayden Jones
Can't, I'm going up to Milwaukee for a bike show early tomorrow.
John Lewis
The question wasn't about why it's your favourite bike but I appreciate your opinion anyway
Jeremiah Ramirez
The funny thing is all the gays on dbt have sportbikes.
Jack Parker
Post boipucci bby ;)
Carter Walker
Rip. Post pics at least.
Xavier Rogers
It's probably gonna be a bunch of hipster shit, but I'll post anything actually interesting I find.
Leo Harris
Its my favorite biek bby :^) Gays ride dual sports/sumos/dirt bieks.
Jayden Smith
Going to get cuckold by tyrone i see.
Logan King
Lol. No
Camden Morris
>mr. cummy, baird, octopie

Grayson Bailey

Parker Richardson

James Powell

Hudson Adams
learn yourself then you lazy nigger, it aint gonna fix itself
Cooper Allen
Like who
Gabriel Foster
>ptwin Lol no thanks
Joseph Butler
Is there fuel in it?
Nicholas Smith
Hope you didn't buy an R1!
Bentley Hall
Ja
Oliver Reed
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.
Carson Wilson
Alright senpai, will check those things out thanks
Nathaniel Johnson
>Yamaha
AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Leo Sullivan
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?
Cameron Bailey
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.
Dominic Allen
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?
Josiah James
Around town or commuting i wear kevlar jeans, armoured jacket, gloves, boots etc. wouldnt mind a power ranger condom for the tougay though.
Thomas Brown
My last bike I got I bought brand new. No regerts here
Cameron Sanchez
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.
Mason Sanders
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.
Carson Peterson
>wanting ABS top kek m8
Nathan Foster
>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.
Dominic Williams
>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
Angel Miller
I sorta want one just for the experience.
Jack Ortiz
>you'd have to be fucking retarded to buy a new bike with your own money. Is this how poor people justify owning shit?
Camden Hughes
lol get a job loser
Jason Ortiz
>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.
Jaxson Reed
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.
Jonathan Parker
If you have buyers remorse this bad you got a shit bike
Asher Stewart
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
Nicholas Myers
so what kinda sport bike you ride?
Owen Hall
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
Parker Lewis
You know you can just say the truth really hurts right?
Justin Bell
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
Jason Gray
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"
Robert Roberts
Now you are getting it, post chicken strips
Sebastian Richardson
yes I will stick to my 300 lb wet weight 50+ hp 250 thanks
