Leather/armored jacket / gloves if I'm going to go on the freeway
Matthew Kelly
When the weather is good, all the time. If I'm going on a spirited ride though, I gear up
Sebastian Gray
>flat track tuck >not grabbing the fork leg
failure
Jordan Bailey
pretty much never unless im just going around the corner or in the paddock at the track, other than that ATGATT
crank up the preload in the rear, check tire pressure and probably up it a couple psi as well, make sure they know not to shift weight retardedly at random and to just lean with you and stuff
Ethan Wilson
ATGATT faggot
Jace Collins
Never. Just buy gear on Craigslist.
Jason Lee
literally atgatt
Josiah Foster
Rarely before my accident Now I wear everything but kevlar pants all the time
Carson Parker
enjoy your road rash
Michael Morris
>Rarely before my accident I meant I rarely wore gear other than a helmet before my accident, so I'd squid a lot
Justin Gutierrez
thx for clearing that up capt obv
Oliver Parker
Dude, my hip hurt more than anything else. And that was just parking lot practice. (Rain, first month, other excuse...)
John Ward
i'd just wear a hoodie if i'm a short fuck-it trip.
jacket for the longer rides towards VA Beach and shit like that, i fucking hate VA Beach's murderous congested traffic with a passion.
at night it's not so shitty
Ayden Allen
first bit that goes down when you lowside.
Nathaniel Fisher
what happens to your hands when you fall off?
Anthony Martinez
np pal
Alexander Harris
used to squid pretty bad. nothing crazy, just jeans, slippers, and a t-shirt, and shitty gloves. helmet too obviously.
went down on a turn and the only thing I really fucked up was my hip and ankles (tehy were sore for a few days) and got some road rash on my elbows
Alexander Davis
Older bikes don't have lights. All the (vintage flight suits) all the time
Jaxson Stewart
i have my alpinestar gloves too, they're hi-viz and 'winter proof' which is a fucking lie whilst riding in 20 degrees.
i guess i'll add my work boots, the jeans and a thermal underneath
Justin Flores
Is anybody watching the filtering bill in their state? I noticed all the sponsors are (R), don't other leftists realize no stops=less gas?
Asher Ortiz
Yes
Leo Bailey
That feel when lonely but in fourth place.
Joseph Wright
>2017 >Being a Leftist
Robert Gonzalez
>muh leftists hate lanesplitting >"commiefornia" is only state that allows lanesplitting
Carter Hill
>filtering bill My state already drops the ball on easy votes like open carry, do you really expect me to think they'll pass something as convoluted as filtering?
Easton Allen
>easy votes like open carry, In what world is open carry an easy vote
Levi Baker
Not him but Illinois is retarded about it.
CCW is legal but OC is illegal.
>genius
Samuel Ross
Are these any good?
One came up for sale in my area, might go take a look.
Illinois, Florida, California and the District of Columbia prohibit openly carrying any firearms. There is literally no reason for Florida to be on that list
Ryan Russell
Asked generally a few days ago, but now I've narrowed down some details.
If I got a short pipe exhaust and removed my giant can exhaust, and I kept the baffle in the short pipe, would that require me getting a power commander and tuning it to the short exhaust specifically? The short pipe is just a slip on. The consensus a few days ago when I asked generally about slip ons was "no, stock tune should be fine for a slip on", but since the one I like is extremely small compared to the stock exhaust, would that change anything? It's pretty 50/50 going through some forums, so I'm not sure if I'd have to drop $300-$400 on a power commander and more to get it tuned.
Carter Green
It is the Harley with the greatest lean angle. They're supposed to be a stylized tribute to flat track racers. Still will get smoked by almost any serious street bike in the twistys.
That's a pretty good price for that particular bike though.
Austin Brooks
Twisty riding is maybe 5% of what I do. I'd use it on my 90 mile commute. Are the 1200cc engines generally reliable?
note: ive ridden a ninja 250 and a klx250sf on the same commute.
Hunter Ramirez
Why would you buy a Harley that looks like a 70's UJM? If you're going to buy a Harley (and I wouldn't) at least buy one that LOOKS like a Harley.
Kevin Clark
(The leftie) Open makes more sense anyway. My Panther uncles both agree.
The way the WA version is written is pretty simple. Top l/s speed is 45, don't be a dick. Reduce congestion, save the planet, sell more bikes.
(I don't care about your dictator until Gestapo breaches the border. I have enough trouble already, pointing out that in the West neoliberalism IS the conservative position.)
Gabriel Perez
As always the answer is 'it depends' It will definitely throw off the tuning but I doubt anyone here actually knows how much the ECU can compensate for it, some can do a decent job. It will probably still run pretty close to normal if your baffle is sensible but you might lose/gain power in certain parts of your rpm.
Just get the new pipe if you want it, put it on and see how it rides, if it really rides like shit, hard to start etc you'll know it will need a tune but you might be happy enough with the stock tune. Most mufflers will generally still run without tuning other than some Hondas which have very restrictive stock mufflers.
Josiah Flores
Did you ever stop to think why it looks like a UJM? Like maybe the UJM was designed after a certain American made motorcycle brand?
You stepped on the punji stick with that one my friend
Easton Johnson
Because he wants a UJM that will break. Just buy Yamaha.
Aiden Martin
Assuming it starts fine and there's only a small shift in power location, would running the stock tune risk causing damage over time, or would I only risk that if it was noticeably running worse?
Evan Jenkins
By that logic, EVERY BIKE is designed to look like an Indian.
Carson Collins
Cool, well either way the XR1200 is a throwback to the XR750. The XR750 is the most successful motorycle in AMA history.
Dominic Hughes
Dumb dumbpost
Juan Kelly

Gavin Bennett
gud
Lucas Foster
So, I copped this 91 nighthawk 250, because USD900 is college money. I read it uses the same engine as the last generation rebel, but where do I get body parts? The jackass who owned it last bent the bars, and cracked a side fairing dicking around with the battery.
Justin Murphy
ebay bikebandit
get an AMA membership, it pays for itself if you use bikebandit or other sites with AMA discount to buy parts and tires
plus if you happen to unfortunately live in a state that doesnt allow filtering, they will support any efforts to legalize it in your state
Gavin Brooks
The only difference between a stock XR1200 and the AMA racebike is a steering damper, boat tail, number plate, V&H exhaust, and rearsets.
Luis Walker
And Honda just dropped an 1100cc turd designed after their big 750. What's the point in buying something that big if you want to go around a corner?
Jaxson Butler
That's the same engine they've been using in the sporster for a million years so yeah, it's pretty much got all the bugs worked out.
Compared to what you've been riding, it's going to have a massive bottom end off the line but not much up top.
Jayden Price
If it's running noticeably hotter it should really get a tune.
You could check the plugs for abnormal wear but there's no guarantee it will show. Unless you're pretty much racing it IMO there probably won't be a big difference if you leave the intake all stock. What bike are we talking about here?
Jacob Perry
2006 CBR 600 F4i. Have been wanting a smaller exhaust since fall since the stock one is absolutely enormous.
Jordan King
tfw no qt squid gf

I hope you get ass cancer

I own a triumph but I still haven't been able to attract a girl.
What am I doing wrong?
Jackson Miller
Have you tried showering regularly?
Tyler Rodriguez
Is this the common way to get into racing in this country? I've been considering doing small displacement when I get cash for something newer.
Cameron Adams
overrated
Tyler Rodriguez
Bikes pretty-much attract men. Women who care tend to have a chip on their shoulder because people like you harass them at every meet. Or get a ducati. If you have that kind of money, you don't need the bike.
Elijah Bennett
pretty much
Elijah Edwards
How do rear wheel bike stands work? I'm looking at getting on for my R3 (inb4 memebike) so I can lube the chain easier etc. Does any rear wheel stand work? How do you actually put it on the stand by yourself? Do you leave the bike on its sidestand then wheel the stand thing under the rear wheel and lift it up? But won't the bike be sideways? I'm confused.
Josiah Hill
You hold the bike up straight and lift it with the rear stand.
Angel Green
It's a 300. Just manhandle it.
Nicholas Roberts
Withmine i leave it on the side stand. >put rear stamd in position >hold front brake >push down on stand with foot Magically raises in the air
Aiden Foster
...
Angel Watson
With mine i leave it on the rear stand >put side stand up >put foot in position >hold down rear brake It magically falls over
Aaron Cooper
But how do you do that by yourself without the bike tipping over? Do you straighten the front wheel, then tilt it straight by holding onto the rear seat? Won't it tip over?
How do you reach that far back with your leg? Or am I overthinking this all a little too much.
Alexander Bennett
>only a small shift in power location You might feel a slight increase up top from the increased flow but other than that I think it will all just be in your head. When you're making a lot of noise you trick yourself into thinking you're going faster.
Carson Long
>not having a center stand Lmao @ ur life
Samuel Scott
>not having a running bike lmaoing@urlife
Jaxson Reyes
R u avin a giggle m8? >How do you reach that far back with your leg? Im 6'6" you can put a block in front of the wheel too. You just dont want to chase the bike around the garage.
Matthew Watson
put a brick or something under your kickstand to hold it up straighter, or have a friend hold it, or just hold it yourself by the tail (and dont drop it)
John Myers
Your old man bike doesnt have one either does it? Gigglin real hard over ere m80
Jace Martin
>not having kitkat filtered lmaoing@urlife
Ryan Collins
>Lmaoing@hislife Lmaoing@diarrhea
Lincoln Lewis
2 tru. I went through the carbs again tonight, going to slam them back together and see if it works. It ran veggie, just like shit because the idle circuit was fukt.
It's hot a center stand, and helmet lock and tool kit and a few other things
Elijah Davis
>literally shitposting. Neat. Ive never seen a cruiser with one.
Luis Garcia
Ok. The brick under stand sounds workable. Thx senpai
Daniel Clark
Anyone wanna go riding?
Jacob Reed
You murder a pregnant bitch on that pillon seat Or is that your period stain?
James Barnes
Yeah the 80s Honda's I've owned have been chock full of features. I guess it's how they moved bikes in big numbers
Adam Russell
Id say ye but im on my second fofth and this just got interestin
Wyatt Morales
Taillight from my car that I park in front of it

Looks wierd though, like spraypaint or something. Go to bed onion
Benjamin Richardson
>Onion Triggered
Juan Price
Yeah I know. In the light it's normal though. Vinyl reflects light really well.
Austin Hughes
Did he ever come back and say they made it? Im pretty sure he killed his friends.
Brayden Wood
Safe to say he stole the bikes and is living alone with his collection of pool noodles
Easton Garcia
What is this fresh new meme?
Bentley Campbell
>Toolkit >Helmet lock
That shit has been standard on Honda's since the 60's.
Charles Jackson
>he doesnt know
James Jackson
Went for 3hr ride yesterday thx senpai

He killed his mother for sure He didn't really make a big deal out of the pool toys though He just said he had a few
