An 04 FZ6 for 3.5k with 5k miles, an 09 FZ6 for 4.1k with 10k miles, or an 04 919 with 16k miles for 3.5k?
I'm thinking the fz6 but oh lawd i have to stop buying bikes faster than I can sell the old ones
>n+1-1
Christopher Reyes
Fz6 is a good bike, but kind of a starter bike desu senpai
I would get the 919 just for the power, but thats just me.
Robert Walker
09 is a better bike objectively even if they look uglier. They've got better brakes and suspension
Levi Perry
A little less overall power is alright as long as it pulls hard up to 70mph, but tank range is what gets me.
The FZ6 is a little better than the 919 in that department.
Both have i4 smoothness, which is kind of a must after suffering numb everything on a shakey twin.

REMINDER!!! SuperAmeriMeet is going to be from July 20th -23rd at Cherohala Mountain Trails Campground. Anyone is welcome to come, even if you didn't sign up. There's plenty of space
Elijah White

Jaxon Ortiz
>There's plenty of space Because everybody cancelled
Nolan Turner
No because it's 6 acres of open camping space There are at least 7 going as of now, I don't want to make it some sekrit club like seem where you have to be in the special email group and shit, just show up if you want to come
There are people coming from pretty close to that far
Luke Nguyen
SEM* not seem
Cooper Foster
I think "had to lay her down" was an excuse made by shitty riders to try to convince normies into thinking they're not bad riders, but it makes them looks like retards and bad riders instead.

Is there anything that sounds worse than a stock gladius?
Adrian Scott
When you realize you can smell your sweaty balls even through riding pants. Time to wash your underwear on the road.
James Richardson
>not bringing hand washing powder to wash your clothes in the shower
Robert Reed
How do I get a really heavy motorcycle on a centre stand?
Benjamin Torres
Going 5 days without even access to a shower before ending up in the city.
Gavin Perry
Any inline four with a pipe.
Juan Perry
All your weight on the stand
A lot of dumbasses cut the lever off the stand so it's impossible to use properly even with a light motorcycle. Muh cornering clearance! Better to take the stand off in that case, so you still have a functioning stand.
Make sure you centerstand hasn't been altered before you throw your back out.
Kevin King
Tell me abou that helmet. I might upgrade mine soon and I'm torn between that, the Arai XD4 and the AGV AX8
Anthony Stewart
Then just a little stream or lake. Just make sure to use environment friendly shit.
Logan Hall
Like a 250kg bike? For me it's one foot on the lever, and pull on the handlebar and pannier rack slightly, although for my bike that's pure as a stabilizer.
Hudson Walker
>taking turn at moderate speed >line ok >hit bump >lose line and almost target fix How do you guys handle it?
Xavier Adams
Go full throttle and finish the corner with a sikk skid
Landon Wood
Soft suspension.
Cameron Johnson
Run your tires at half the recommended pressure.
Kayden Stewart
On my old bike it wouldn't have been a problem, I just want to know if there's any technique/body position/anime stickers I can use to get back on line.
Oliver Howard
The original /dbt/ stickers (not the ones currently for sale) helped a lot.
Jaxson Diaz
>mfw I have the new ones Shoo shoo skid demon, I have yet to slip up with my new baiku
Oliver Hughes
Late apex. Turning in later gives you more room to cut in and straighten out before bumps.
David Price
Today I got a job and I found out I'll have more than €400 in tax return. Pretty fucking rad. I only lack some figa now.
How was your day /dbt/?
Jayden Baker
The new ones aren't cursed.

Ian Cruz
Pretty much all anime stickers ensure good handling, braking, and acceleration by keeping passengers off your bike. But, they also increase the chances of your bike mysteriously tipping over in parking lots, and the chances of me stealing your bike and parking mine with a spare set of keys where you left it if you have good taste in stickers. Thanks for the itabike bro.
Nathan Robinson
>found out my new tire won't be here until friday afternoon >ride planned for saturday morning I guess it's ok.
Jackson Turner

Grayson Gonzalez
It's big and heavy and shoei. You get what you pay for and I have no doubt should I go down and hit my head I've invested well.
The newer version has the cut outs to direct wind through the visor. It's not horrible at hwy speeds buy does get caught up at times.
Vents are limited but the ones that are there work.
Contrary to most people shoei and arai both fit my head. I would have gone for either. I just got the shoei cheaper.
As far as AGV? Nice looking helmet, but it's not SNELL and although they may be made in italy? I'm assuming china? I won't buy a China helmet.
John Scott

Austin Evans
How? How's that even legal?
Cooper Sanders
Barely got time to ride. Have to pick up parts for bike first, then fix bike, go to the barber shop and I might visit an old friend I haven't seen in about a year.
And then maybe working 5-6 weekends in a row.
Nathan Johnson
I guess you're right. RIP in peace
Parker Sanchez
Love seeing my picture as the OP image, had a shitty day at work today, thank you for cheering me up a tiny bit OP.
Luis Hill
>How's that even legal? It's not. But I get paid all of it at least. Looking at moving company currently. Just thinking about what to write in an open letter to the companies.
Daniel Reed

One thing for sure is that my wallet will be absolutely rekt if I go for the triumph.
Nolan Rodriguez

Hudson Gomez
And it will be shrekt if you go for the BMW
How much I love BMW bikes, they aren't the most reliable or cheap ones.
David James

Disregard either, get an r9t
Mason Adams

Christian Anderson
>impractical manletmobile
nah
I am 6'1 and need something that accommodates my height properly.
Isaac Martin
Where do you live where that's not legal?
In Alberta anyways 24 days is legal, and your employer can get a permit to work you longer as long as 50% of affected employees approve. I once knew a guy who did almost 60 days straight - then fucked off to a resort in mexico for 2 months after.
Leo Martinez

Aaron Butler
>he thinks he doesn't fit on a BMW R-series
I'm the same height as you, the R1200s are big enough.
Kayden Nelson
>heart says triumph
Go for the triumph then. They aren't italian or austrian level unreliable, they are actually pretty good.

T. Relies on his governments Welfare State to live on 30 hours max a week of work.

Charles Sullivan
The Netherlands. We're allowed working 18 days in a row, with then a 3 day rest period. I'm doing 26, with only 2 days rest. Also, it's not 8 hours a day, more like a minimum of 10. I hit the 70 hours a week regularly.
Landon Gray
>Relies on his governments Welfare State to live on 30 hours max a week of work.
Says the scion of the leach people who have never worked a day in their life and steal the hard earned shekels of the honest people.
Ayden Harris
>Where do you live where that's not legal? In any 1st world country? Duh. There's no way I'm gonna work for more than a couple of weeks with no rest day, I'm not a slave. Even more than a week with no rest day is slavery.
If there's so much work just fucking get more employees, you fucking cheapskates.
Mason Scott
Honda better
Jason Parker
It's not slavery if you're compensated and have the option to leave at any time
Also, 8 hours at work, 1 hour there and back, 8 hours of sleep, 7 hours of free time. What can you get rid of to get more free time if 7 isn't enough?
Brandon Hill
>Steal your shekels Not my fault I work in finance and y'all can't get your shit together
Nathaniel Torres
>tfw no money for extra fairings for a full itansha
Ian Sanders
nice but why not make it just dia?
suzuki best bike, dia best girl. it makes sense.
Christopher Edwards
No salary will ever be enough to compensate for the loss of my time.
Wow, 7 hours! Now try having a family (thing that ensures the future of your country) with that much "free" time.
>have the option to leave at any time When you don't have a law against this then all the subhumans will get the job and obviously they'll never back down from it and if you wanna work you have to do it at their conditions.
I thought burgers were all over Trump's dick.
Jace Perez
If you wanted to have a happy family you should have worked harder to get the qualifications for a better job.
Samuel Rodriguez
is there any better feeling than leaving the cunt who blocked you from getting to the front at the last set of lights at the back of a 20+ car queue.
Noah Hill
>1 hour waking up and breakfast >1 hour commuting >9 hours working (including break) >1 hours commuting >2 hours making dinner, eating and doing dishes >0,5 hoursnchecking and paying bills >8 hours sleeping
That's 22,5 hours. I see only 1,5 hours of free time. When am I supposed to have a hobby or a social life?
When you go back in time and stay in school instead of expecting to be treated like a skilled american despite only having the networking skills and academic background of an illegal immigrant.
Brayden Martin
>just get more employee's
When oil was boomin' 26 days on, 12 hour days was pretty much the standard for rig workers. Can't really call them cheapskates when starting pay was around 35/hour with no education or training needed, and most of the stint on is overtime pay at 55/hour - plus various camp/travel/safety bonus's. Not every one is content with 8 hour days / 8 hour pays user.
Elijah Cox
If you're not willing to work hard, then you either have to make your working time be now valuable through pay, or love with lesser means. Communism doesn't work, neither does socialism.
You need to work for your dollars, the more hours you work the more dollars you get. Freedom, capitalism, and the Western world revolves around you personally making the decision to work that hard
Josiah Turner
I'm going to get my motorcycle license permit this week. I'm in PA, anything to look for during the test?
Matthew Green

Wtf I hate GSXRs now
Gavin Anderson
>2017 gsxr 750 or 600? I got the 750 and love it
Hunter Fisher
750. It's amazing, especially coming from a shitbike.
Jeremiah Jones
Good on you man! Seriously perfect bike. Where you from?
Jaxon Bennett
Give it to me. I'll keep it a nice, clean garage and make sure it never has shitty idols on it.
Brayden Roberts
What kind of chain do you use? I'll have to change mine soon and I'm unsure wether I should pick each part seperately or should go with the D.I.D kit..
Lincoln Richardson
Montreal >wanting a pussy indoor baiku No thanks
Xavier Price
What wheel lifts should I look into?
Andrew Brooks
I get whatever brand o-ring chain is cheapest, excluding the questionable no-name shit. Same for sprockets.
Michael Miller
the kind that lifts the wheels
Isaac Sullivan
Which brand does that ?
Henry Lee
Thinking about going from my cbr250 to a 05 drz400. Supermotos looking fun and the drz seems good am i doing a dumb or a smart?
Angel Martin
Welded Steel Tubes™
Justin Hill
Suzuki.
Get a GSXR400 instead.
Anthony Anderson
the brands that manufacture wheel lifts?
just get the cheapest one you can.
Noah King
Let's talk real stuff Which oil smells best? My money is on castrol, but motul ain't too bad either... just too sweet
