Yeah I almost always have it zipped up in my jacket pocket, but I absent mindedly put it in my back pocket after fueling up.

Noticed it was gone 20 minutes later and spent 2 hours searching for it in the dark. Showed up at a police station a month later with all the cards gone except for some business and grocery store cards.

What?

Eagerly awaiting this guys crash video

>buying a thousand buck phone when you can get a $200-300 phone with the same specs
You're only gonna use that for like 2 years anyway, do you hate money?
Also
>apple

>120 mph
Oh look, we've made a baiku that's as fast as a '20s car! Now give us your money.

I'm not planning on installing the 48, I installed the 15 instead. 6th gear is basically useless though. I don't feel the need to shift out of 5th until about 65mph even when just cruising.

Prolly. Lumens are on a logarithmic scale though, so 7000 lumens is not twice as bright as 3500 lumens, only like an extra 1/4 or something like that.

Lel it's not my bike. It's a fucking trike I'm trying to sell at my dealership

why do you want anyone to crash?

I don't want anybody to crash, I just want to watch the inevitable crash video.

anyone have any experience painting/sanding fairings?

I lowsided pretty bad and i need to sand/repaint entire thing. It's a gloss black. Any tips for how many coats of black and how many coats of clear?

you can't watch a crash video without someone crashing, so you wanting to watch it means you want him to crash.

>First fill the scratches with glaze or plaster
>Repair and reinforce cracks
>Sand to a smooth finish
>Primer
>light sand
>1st coat check for inperfections and fill and sand if needed
>2nd coat must be perfect
>Apply clearcoat

why did he speed up the onboard footage lol

What...? I know what I want, go play internet psychologist somewhere else.

I'll be happy if he never crashes; do I think that's going to happen? No.

This faggot doset now how to eat properly

Thoughts on the Yamaha Bolt as a second bike after a ninja 250?

Reviews ive been looking at say the visibility on the gauge cluster sucks ass, but thats a pretty minor complaint. Anyone ever ride one?

building off of what said

Once you provide a smooth surface

>wash down and wipe with tack cloth
>prime
>sand down with 500 grit sandpaper until smooth and even
>wash and tack cloth
compressed air > water, but water itself will work, you'll just need to give it more time to dry.
>fairly light coat of paint.
Not enough to create runs, expect to do at least 2 coats.
>Once it dries, rough with 500, wash and tack again and spray some more
>do 3 coats total of paint
>wetsand with 800, 1000, then 2000

>once first coat of clear is tacky, not completely dry, spray another
>3 coats of clear

>don't wax it for about a month so the paint has time to cure

Hey I've actually met this guy before, he has an amazing ZRX1000.

He was super nice when I met him but he makes a lot of pretentious "how to corner" videos featuring pictures of himself.

Holy fuck thats a lot of god damn work. Ive already put 30 hours into this fucking it up, and i dont know what to do now. Im not paying $400 USD for a new fucking fairing.

Please tell me the fastest way to make this not look like shit (get the glossy black back) so I can sell my bike. I bought 80 grit sanding block but its doing literally fucking nothing on this because the scratches are so deep. I tried to put JB weld in but it just made it worse. What is the easiest god damn way to fix this please lord

Get some filler primer and layer it up, then sand it down.

Wet sand it. It literaly takes like 5 minutes to fix that.

Will replacing the Cam Chain Tensioners help with compression issues?

ive been wet sanding with a 80 grit sanding block for 2 hours now, its not working

sanding by hand btw

>I'm good at TT style riding
>lol actually riding in the TT or on a course with corners? no thanks

I hope its not one of these

Also pretty much gauranteed it's "calculated lumens" or "estimated lumens" rather than actual measured lumens, meaning it's way off. Also it's in a reflector not made for that type of bulb so the light doesn't get focused. As a result you get a light that is extremely uncomfortable for everyone around but doesn't actually provide better visibility.
>source: I've tried them

it is... whats wrong with those?

Also your eyes are better at picking up details in a yellow light than a white/blue light.

>sand
>filler for scratches, sand smooth
>basecoat, sand smooth
>paint, sand, paint, sand, paint, wetsand with 2000 grit, clean, dry
>[clear coat, wetsand with 2000 grit, clean, dry] as many times as you want, 2-3 is ideal
>install on bike, let offgas for a month, buff, polish, wax

That's a sanding sponge dude. Get actual sandpaper.

all the sandpaper i was using disintigrated as i was trying to sand with it with my fingers, it was hell

You need to wet sand with a flat object or else you will nevee get the scratches out.

Wrap it around the sponge and then sand like that. Don't put a shitload of pressure either, just let it ride along the top.

You fucking retard. Sand*PAPER*. Yellow is dry sanding, black is wet sanding. Also 80 grit is rough as fuck, you're just making it worse. No wonder you haven't succeeded yet.

Don't use so much pressure. Just take it to a paint shop before you ruin it completely, it's obvious by now you're clueless.

What bike?

Hello Trap user :p

Trapanon is white, keeno is a nigger

good night

start with low grit then work your way up. I would go all the way to 1000 or 2000 grit.

What are you on about

>No hes a qt white gayboi trap
He joined the navy. Only niggers go into the navy.

How do you carry that chain? I guess its a must have because of all those brown people

I just want a qt trap to be my bike gf

I only used it for the week or so that I was commuting on that bike, because it has no ignition, but I would just wrap it around my torso like a messenger bag or put it in my backpack.
>with the triangle I was carrying around because bike also has no kick stand

Post sister

Trips confirm

Post sister

your trips almost make me want to do it

You don't get to say no to trips Keeno.

I already have pics but everyone else should get to see

fugg off emvee shes not even 15 yet

>shes not even 15 yet
You can't tease us like that.

What is you guys opinions on brands of drive chains?

Right now I'm looking at some O-ring chains that are offered as kits and I have the option of getting a EK (650cc rated) or a DID (500cc rated) in the kit. The bike only a little 250cc.

Lol

Too old, do not want.
You win.

Just buy the pitch you need and links you need, also replace sprockets.

>650cc rated
What the fuck does that mean?
Just get an EK or DID that has the right size for your bike and has any type of rings (O, X, W they're all the same in the end) that comes with a clip type master link - unless you already have a tool for a press type link.

this was my plan all along

Who the fuck is emvee? I just got bored and doxxed you.

Your sister is cute now post her before I do and it can get reverse-searched to her insta ;)

My buddy had one and let me ride it a bit before he crashed it and sold it.

It's probably the most aggressive cruiser i've ever ridden meaning and you can have some fun on it and corner pretty decently. That being said, it's inferior to the FZ-07 and 09 in just about every way, which is my buddy ended up getting an 07. If you like the cruiser aesthetic then it's a good bike. A little slow but it's fun. I'd get it if I HAD to own a cruiser

14 is the best age m8

>bike also has no kick stand
i use to use that as an excuse when parking my bike in front of store.

>sorry man no kick stand. i have to lean it against this wall right next to the front door.

Don't you work like a 9-5 job Baird? How come you're not sleeping right now?

You missed a dash there, buddy.
>1-4 is the best age m8
ftfy

Never banged one of those and i dont find them hot so i probably wont.

It's not even 1am yet.
Also I walk into work whenever I want no one cares as long as I get my shit done throughout the week.

You're right, just feels later because I'm already done everything at work and have another 4 hours left in my shift.

Any good motorcycling movies/shows on Netflix dbt?

Dust to glory

What are you, gay?

Not on leaf Netflix :(

Sprockets come with the kit (drive and rear).

>650cc rated
>What the fuck does that mean?
Beats me but all the chain options in the drop down list some sort of cc rating.
