I'm not wrong.

>Got brakechecked in a residental area
What type of fucknugget does this? I wasnt even following that closely. There was just a lot of roundabouts so cars just cant match my pace

If that image.jpg is taking 2017 models into account, mistaken is what you are.

Halp DBT. i was invited to go ride with some 1%ers and while they area all cool to chill with i dont wanna run drugs

WEll DBT i ended up making some druink friends with 1% ers. I do want to go for a crusie with them but dont wanna run no drugs. what do?

Depends on if you understand the meme or not.

make another post about it

will have to wait and see until we get a group test of all the new models for that

got you senpai. I was asked if i knew how to ride my croctch rocket. told them how do they think i go ti there?

Got an invite to a cruise over the weekennd when im off work.

Goldwing has three times the power and a little over twice the weight.

Rip the shit off the Goldwing and you increase its ground clearance, power to weight, and handling substantially. Drastically increasing its performance.

Rip the shit off the Ninja 300 and do a bunch of power mods and you still have a slow as shit standard with some ugly wanna be bodywork.

Try again scooter rider. Get a real bike.

Aprilia RSV4>All

do you though?

They're not gonna make a random dude do anything illegal.

I do indeed
i thougyhtas much because there were chill as fuck at the bar

if you're just hanging out with them I wouldn't expect anything bad.

Why is Ducati the only major brand still selling homologation specials?

He'll pay for it, right?

I would be livid if that happened to me, but my roommate rides too and would never do that.

>homologation
What's this?

>hey stacy check me out this is my bike

Selling something in order to make it legal to race in a production based racing class.

Nearly every 600cc and 1000cc sportbike out of japan is a homologation bike for supersport and superbike.

>He'll pay for it, right?
he said he would but he makes the least amount of money in the house by far.

He was talking to me about a payment plan or something earlier.

Pricing out all factory parts its about $1000 in damage, plus paint cost.

1. the 1299 is not legal in racing series, so they need to produce a homologation 1199R still.

2. "Prestige" brand means people will pay for the super expensive models, ducati is like ferrari, they built street bikes to go racing originally, this only changed in the mid 90s with the release of the monster.

3. Nobody gives a fuck about WSBK anymore, there are 3 people with real actual factory teams, Ducati, Kawasaki and MV agusta (who only run 1 bike and can barely afford to race), aprila stopped caring when they entered MotoGP, yamaha and honda are both "factory supported teams" but are not factory efforts.

>He was talking to me about a payment plan or something earlier.
that means at least he kinda feels obligated to fix it. that he cant afford to pay you cash to fix it be he does wwant to pay fo rit

What trouble would I have to go through to get a vin check on a motorcycle? A friend of a friend recently in got touch with me about a bike he wanted to trade. He has a bill of sale, which would still allow me to register it in my state. BUT the ignition and the gas cap lock are both torn out. I don't know him very well, but given his collection and half finished projects I don't he stole it, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. I rode it a bit and it's running perfectly fine and all he's not asking for much.

Check the catalogue for a vin check thread, there's usually one and if not there should be within a few days.

>BUT the ignition and the gas cap lock are both torn out.
sounds sketchy as fuck whee I live. Might be legit, but probably not. wish i could help you anaon but i cannnot check vins

Why do Americans need to pay to check out a bike?
I can just go to a government site, fill in the license plate and they give me all the information I need, like insurance, stolen or not, rolled back dials etc.

>I can just go to a government site, fill in the license plate and they give me all the information I need, like insurance, stolen or not, rolled back dials etc.

plates in freedom land dont work like that exactly. plate belongs to a person not the vehicle

For $400 you can get a lot of helmet unless you're paying the Shoei/Arai/Shubert brand tax. I mean a fucking Shoei X-Fourteen is like $400 in Japan that's just them fucking us over.

For gloves you can go lower than 250USD a lot more easily than you can go higher. Like say in Alpinestars line that's the bottom of their sport boots but around the middle of their gloves, even if everything below is shit.

not to mention that even top of the line A* gloves are shite

in most states

But they are linked to the car right? Or can you just have one plate for several car?

>can you just have one plate for several car?
Correct

>in most states
never been to a state that keeps plate with car when you sell it. soi maybe there is somewhere that works like that
>But they are linked to the car right?
yes in a sense.
>can you just have one plate for several car?
not where i live but i do not know the laws of other states. that might be how it works a feww states over

yeah it's sketchy as all fuck but besides some cosmetic issues it's looking pretty good for it's age. I'm fairly certain I've seen that bike on craigslist before, only it was missing the rear brake assembly. This guy said he'd been meaning to put one on but never got around to it.

well if you lived wher i do then there are two options
>buy bike and do all the normal shit and see if something fucky happens with the title
or
>person who bought it never signed title and was flipping it. buy bike never register or insure it and ride dirty. cops near me dont fuck with bikes because most of them can run if they dont crash

...

>peopleyoushouldshootonsite.jpg

Where is this from?

Jews?

missing the additional hodgson quote

Poor baiku. I can be her friend, I won't say horrible things about her.

Anyone has experience with BMW K1200S ?

Seems sexy as fuck but i'm worried about reliability, especially since most of them now hit 10+ years.

Guess muh bike

>brakechecked
I've never seen anyone do this in my life. Why there's even a word for something like that?

>$400 helmet

that's like the minimum you should be paying, or else you'll get plastic shit and have your brain burst like a watermelon when you crash.

drz 400

If it hasn't failed already, it won't fail.
Be wary about the drive shaft, don't know what exact K-series had the weak one. It's not the most expensive or hardest job, but from personal experience I can say it sucks.

Hilarious.

I understand that going to leather would be a step up, but otherwise.. What the fuck else do you need? As long as the quality is good enough to hold everything in place for a few moments (which it seems it is, 3 years and not so much as a loose stitch).

Helmets could be quieter but I've used worse. Tried a few and I guess Bell and Shoei just didn't fit right, they were actually louder.

Why would I spend $400 of my medium earned Canuckbucks on a textile jacket?

you're wearing the scratchy blanket equivalent of a helmet. ARAI is plush egyptian cotton with goose down in comparison.
Yeah you can cheapskate your gear but then you'll be wearing shit gear
buy right the first time so you don't have to buy again

I think I might sell my Dainese Carbon Cover ST gloves.

I wore them only a few times in winter so they never saw my sweat and haven't been deformed since they're too wide for me (that's why I'm selling them). It's a shame because they're undoubtedly the best piece of my equipment by far.

Anyone of you faggots interested? They're S size and I'm EU, Italy.

Have you submitted to your lord and saviour Aprilia?

Shave that neckbear
How much?
Full gauntlet or shorty?

Xsr900

Nice quads though

I can get on board with the helmet to an extent. But fuck.. $6-900 for a helmet?

It's a personal thing I think.. none of the other helmets I tried (including others from HJC) fit quite right. They all left gaps for air to make noise. Not sure if I tried an Arai or not. So if it's just a comfort thing, then I don't get it: buy whatever is comfy. They're all Snell rated, they're all just plastic and foam with bits of metal for clips and shit.

Also isn't Arai the brand with the fucky visors? I remember one of the "expensive" brands having a very weird visor clip design or something.

Full gauntlet.
Didn't think about how much I want. I paid them €110 and that seems the price right now. Maybe €90.

They're basically new, I can provide lots of pictures, they never saw a drop of sweat.

>buy right the first time so you don't have to buy again
You literally have to buy a new helmet each few years because it won't protect you anymore.

Yes :)

I would like to apologize for being a moron. I am the asshat with the R3 that called a Triumph Thruxton was and called it a shitbike.

I was wrong and I just assumed the bike was a bastardized UJM like the dozens that are littered across my school campus in the nice weather.

???
Because... Plastic... What? What part of a helmet's protection can possibly go bad if it never sees a fall?

I've only ever heard to replace it after it gets "used" because the internal structure might be damaged and be useless in the next "use".

The internal foam can go bad over time

I hate the styling. It actually looks downtrodden, like a big dog with its ears down.

Might be a fantastic bike to own but it's just so boring and sad to look at.
