Kill yourself, doper.
Alcohol is love, alcohol is life.

>no evidence at all
Wow.

I rather not smoke weed, before you know it I'll be spouting it cures cancer.

I've seen the destructiveness of alcohol, in my family and myself.

>putting the shitty greentext in OP
god you're such an autistic cunt.

Have another drink. Have many. I only give one warning and let Darwin handle the rest.

Best bang for buck is grain alcohol, and you can use it as starting fluid if needed. (Many pump spray heads from shit like window cleaner fit the bottle threads.)

You'll need a soundtrack. Try Patsy Cline and other cry in yer booze country to get that synergy of self pity that makes a true lush.

What's the most Miami Vice motorcycle you can think of?

execute all australians

I preferred to get wasted on 15y/o scotch, bottle a day.
Maybe I'll order an ecort next time, now I have money like it's water.

Calm down moot

guess bike

>execute all australian men

A shit one, proof me wrong.

What a little bitch.
Alcohol never killed anyone. Mental weakness did.
Here's another one.

something overpowered a 50 year old would ride. bmx gs 1200 or some shit

guys, tell me about electric bikes

electric bikes a shit

>charge 2 hours for 80 km range

...

gs500

All the torque all the time
Shitty range

Sounds fun, but impractical for anything other than short trials and commutes.

Pretty cool if you don't cheap out

Completely wrong, because not a Honda.
Underpowered dl650.
You`re right, except letters and numbers

Also post bikes of yours.

Looks like a shit shitbike to me

My shitbike>Ur shitbike.

My decent bike > ur shitbike

>everybody who ever drinks alcohol will become an alcoholic and die a vile death

Haven't you retards ever heard of moderation?

What's with the date on the license plate?

It's a temp plate. I have to get the bike registered and I have until then to do so. I'm just waiting for the dealership to send me the title. That thing is a fucking plank

Oh gotcha how does the new bike ride man? Did you go on your long ride yesterday?

Still silver. Still muh dick.

My beginnerbike > ur decent bike (((^:

I should take more pictures of my bike, I have like 3

Dude I've only ridden shit bikes my whole life, and this thing feels incredible. I don't know if it is the tires which are pretty good, or is the suspension but this thing is extremely stable through corners. I went on a long tooj blast yesterday and this thing is incredibly confidence inspiring.

Thanks man

Nah trick. And me too I need to break out the good camera

It started with me saying I feel like drinking hard again. Not that I wanted to drink a beer.

Any of you seen the new ktm thing?

That blue though

Well then you are a scrub and your opinions are null

Your opinions are worthless, because you don't even know where we were talking about.

I don't think anybody knows where you were talking about

That was pre ride and just squidding around town

My whole riding career more like

Saved. That guy is an absolute madman

If you don`t do a shitty wheelie, I will be sad.

how does it feel to be a shitty rider?

Fairly good, never once had a fatal accident.

>never once had a fatal accident.
i don't believe you

>no gloves or jacket

you wearing shorts and sandals too bro?

Pretty excited to see how they do for their first time in MotoGP.

BTW are those tires more sporty or touring? Michelin pp iirc

Thinking of doing a headlight setup like this on my meme machine since i am not a fan of my current headlight. Thoughts? Anyone seen other decent looking setups?

Yeah that's a pilot power. It's an outdated sport bike tire. Not a touring tire at all. Expect relatively short life (most likely 3-6k miles depending on how you ride and what pressures you use).

is that all custom or can you actually buy that setup for a drz?
Also I thought projector lenses were really sensitive to dirt and bugs so they are supposed to be put behind another lens and sealed?

I've got those, depending on the bike they can get up to 10k miles, or at least that's what I read on the reviews.

Is outdated = bad?
They are a season/ >1000miles old, I wonder why someone would buy "old" technology?

So I guess plenty of grip in corners then and I don't have to worry that I'll slip?

Its custom, uses the stock housing and you have to make a mounting bracket for the lights. I had no idea about them being sensitive, i guess ill have to read up on them a bit.

>outdated = bad?
Not exactly. They're just a cheaper alternative, but they won't last as long as newer tires mainly.
>why someone would buy old technology?
Because they're a really cheap tire and boy racers always think they need to buy a supersport tire even when they can't corner worth shit.
>Plenty of grip in corners?
Yes. If you have issues with cornering it's 100% NOT the tire's fault.

When you replace your tires you should probably get a touring or sport touring type tire.

don't expect much, pol and bradley 2nd tier at best and the bike is very unconventional in the current rules, even honda is not running a screamer V4 anymore + they have a steel frame.

At the last qatar test the KTMs occupied all 3 bottom slots, don't even expect anything like a top 10 for at least the 1st half of this season if not the entire thing.


they're more than sporty enough if you're worried about grip, even then actual sport touring tyres are fantastic now and on the road you'll be hard pressed to run out of edge grip so that's not a worry either, I used to ride Angel GT's at kneedown lean angles on public roads day after day and never lost traction once, my brother did a trackday on them, no problems at all.

>I wonder why someone would buy "old" technology?

Because bike people are crazy, we find tyres that we like and we never want to change for fear of having a bad experience with the next tyre even though basically every company makes a good tyre these days. You'll hear this all the time "only buy pirelli, only buy michelin" etc. I've sampled all sorts of brands of tyres and they all seem to go ok to me.

Okay, thanks!

Kinda not surprised since it's the same bike

So far, I like them. They had good feel and the transitions where smooth through the turns

If it's done well, anything works. You can put a single, round headlight on a fully faired sportsbike if you wanted to. It's just a matter of fabricating mounts when there aren't any available. That includes adding housing for any exposed lenses or wiring when removing oem fairings.

Please excuse pic related
>cafe racer
unfortunately, those builds are the easiest examples to find.

fucking finally

it's a scam

mate, I've got dozens of texts from them over the past 13 months
they've swapped my hire bike at least 5 times

it better be fucking real

...

DELET THS

I typically do 25 to 30k miles a year on my bike.
Ive been using pr4's for the past two tire changes.
Theyre great, but i want something that will last longer.
Best touring tires?
Bike is ninja 500

What bike

What did he mean by this

Seriously considering this.
Price is a bit high I think but it's got me drooling.

10k miles it seems to last.
Thats better than what my current tires are getting.
Is 10k like a limit on tires? I never see any that last longer.

Still stuck in Germany away from my bike.

Posting the day I replaced my FZ6

what

Bike tires are not as thick and heavy as car tires. They don't last as long. You could look into touring only tires but I doubt they make the super long distance ones in your wheel size.

Why does aftermarket stuff cost so much for these
>Exhaust is 800 dollars
>Corbin seat is 450+shipping+tip+rimjob

It's lame.

>niggering your bike up

Corbin seats are aesthetic and comfy

And the exhaust is super fucking quiet

Corbin seats are ugly like your dad.

Not even

A foot long 1/2" drill bit helps with the sewing machine quiet exhaust. I lucked out finding a duck that already had Termis and a a tune installed.

Kek. I'm so used to the shadow roaring and shaking the ground. This is super quiet

I'm glad the fz6 im looking at already has an exhaust lol.

Disgusting. Fuck off kitty

Function > form when it comes to seats.

I know yours usually looks like this ;)

Jelly

I manage 25k km or more on Conti TrailAttack2

Sargent seats are also very good and half as much. Don't forget to check eBay. I just got a cheap Corbin seat from a salvage yard because some squid wrecked his baiku.

What tire pressures are you using?
Bike tires generally don't last near as long as car tires. Join the dark side.

Tfw got super Seat Concepts seat for $20 for one of my bikes from a guy parting out his bike, and practically free for my other bike because it was on there when I bought the bike used.

32 psi in front and 35 in the rear.
>darkside
Its very tempting but it would be silly to do that to my ninja

Were you guys ever scared of riding a bike?

I just want to know if it's possible to make the transition from my current bitch state. The Grom and other small, light bikes look fun.

that sounds low for commuting on a street bike. Does your manual say to use those pressures? Try 42 rear 39 front or something around there.

>scared?
All i ever felt was excitment when i started riding.
Ive wanted to ride since i was a wee lad.
