He hasn't heard about counter steering before, got some work to do teaching him riding again. Thankfully he's open to learning new shit and rides carefully in the meantime.
Logan Reyes
Does it matter if you rev match before or after downshifting? Also post bikes
David Long
Yeah no
Jackson Myers
lolwat you can't revmatch after you downshift, that would just make the bike jerk
Nathan Martin
I dunno in my mind it basically happens at the same time
Cooper Morris
I think he means pull clutch > rev > push pedal > release clutch vs pull clutch > push pedal > rev > release clutch
if so, no

So the past few refills at the pump, I've calculated ~73mpg on my DR350. Normally it's 67. This is fine. What a lovely baiku. It sips compared to 650's.

>Buy a Honda it'll be reliable! >bought a cb500 >it's reliable And hella boring Could I realistically buy a leader bike now? I've been riding for almost 5 months and I've got it down.
Mason Anderson
join the 90mpg, 125 master race brother. Girls don't want excitement and flashy toys, financial conservatism gets them weak at the knees.
Mason Hill
webm related is the kind of shit that happens to people who've been riding a 500 for 5 months and think they've got it down. Don't be an idiot, learn to ride properly. If you haven't spanked the CB around a track at least 3 times and got rid of the chicken strips with proper cornering technique, you haven't got shit down. Shit I've been riding one for 2 years now and I still make progress. If you find most of your riding is touring and you really _need_ that extra power because you can't lug around 100 kg of luggage comfortably, go ahead and upgrade.

Lucas Rivera
hurr The point is, if you think there's nothing more you can learn on any given bike, in 99% of all cases you're wrong.
Connor Stewart
Also wrong is the idea that you need to ride a bike to the absolute limits of traction before getting a new one
The best bike is the one you actually want to ride.
Michael Robinson
Get the big brother.
Jaxson Cruz
Cool edition. I ride with Pap often.
Caleb Jones
that has literally nothing to do with scrubbing chicken strips and riding track
he just didn't look over his shoulder
Kevin Barnes
Would be my first bike. Also, I'm living in eastern Europe, money is tight. ;_;
Austin Wood
Seconded
Cooper Green
We're heading down to either Arizona or Nevada come winter to rent a couple of Indian Scouts and roam aimlessly.
Nolan Murphy
Wrong Got cocky, reacted wrong, panicked, ran into truck I saw way in advance. Literally just a matter of overestimating your abilities, coupled with lowered inhibitions due to lack of sleep that day.
What if you want to ride a turbo busa and you're a hotheaded 19 year old?

Eli Turner
Sounds like a blast, have fun. I'll take him to some secluded parking lot or something to teach him counter steering and slow speed control, then we're planning on going moto camping. Maybe I'll finally explore Poland after all, too.
Julian Parker
You're just retarded, you shouldn't be riding any motorcycle regardless of engine size.
Joshua Torres
Bbbut it`s mine.
Caleb Butler
He just didn't lean enough. Fuck, a faster bike might have saved him if he turned hard enough to stay in that lane and throttled his way in front of the truck. Some people will wreck on literally anything capable of going faster than 30mph.
But I can ride well now. See, that accident taught me humility and made me strive to become a better rider.
Anthony Butler
Nah you're still a dumb nigger that shouldn't even have a drivers license.
Jeremiah Diaz
Say that to my face on the togue, see what happens.
Thomas Scott
Thinking of putting a dashcam on my next bike for insurance. Don't like putting a camera on my helmet very much. Y/N
Anthony Brooks
Nope, I'd like mine in blue. Yours is pretty though. 8/10, would steal.
Is the extra windshield necessary? How tall are you? I'm 6'4"
Adam Roberts
Check back with your insurance and country / state laws whether the recorded footage will be admissible, or even legal to record. Apart from that, why not.
Jeremiah Ortiz
>What if you want to ride a turbo busa and you're a hotheaded 19 year old?
Then nature will take its course and there will be one less retard (hothead = angry trash) on the planet.
The beauty of motorcycles is they kill and maim stupid people.
Julian Robinson
Then the 650 is a good choice. Don`t drop it, the plastics are expensive. I think they come with crash bars but don`t count of them to save anything.
Jace Clark
Pap's chop. Mondo jealous. 85 cu.
Charles Thompson
All teenagers are stupid hotheads. Should we therefore exterminate all people before they hit puberty?
Adam Gray
Anybike is better than nobike. Here is not the place to ask for advice unless you want to die poor.

Luis Roberts
There are lots of teenagers who start on liters and live because they respect and fear the machine instead of just diving in like a typical "fuck it, bro, let's lean" 250fag.
Ian Ortiz
Yeah great, they managed to not kill themselves because they were too dumb to figure out how to wheelie and only ever rode in a straight line on warm and dry summer nights. That doesn't mean they aren't stupid, aren't hotheads or that they can actually ride.
Gavin Martin
Respecting and fearing the machine are two different things. If you fear your ride, you'll never fully get to know them, because out of fear of dying.
Ryan Butler
Not much, you'll crash on the way there.
Jason Barnes
Wouldn't want you to panic and crash your bike.
Leo Moore
>All teenagers are stupid hotheads.
Negative. That's a wigger excuse (and they crash often). I wasn't and learned to ride on the way home in north Jersey traffic with firstbike (MT 250 Honda Elsinore) which had a blown second gear.
Got it fixed, rode the shit out of it and manybikes afterwards. Nothing but two slow lowsides (wet leaves and ice are not your friends) in ~40 years riding.
Those who are passionately stupid really should buy a turbonitrousboredstrokedportedmultiliterpeter. Bike salvagers gotta eat too.
Gabriel Price
What's the matter, too scared you'll get shown up by someone on a 20 years old carbed shitbike? Meet me on the togue in 5, for real, I will rek your shit.
Jaxon Adams
If you respect AND fear your ride you don't ride hard outside of track days like a non-idiot. Out of fear of dying.
As a result, you actually get better than street rossi hotheads.
Colton Young

David Ramirez
That looks like garbage. Not that I'm a hug fan of the "angry bug" styling, but if I were to change headlights, I wouldn't get that repulsive transformers shit.
Noah Russell
Fear makes you afraid of explore you and your machine's boundaries and capabilities. If you're scare of your bike, you'll settle for "I can ride this while not dropping him at a red light", and will never have the ambition of trying out something new, or puching the envelope (within reasonable limit, of course).
If one really wants get good, they'll have to befriend the metal between their legs, and go to some bike ed after getting their licence and/or first bike.
Mason Campbell
when i owned an FZ6 I wanted to put dual headlights on it like this

it's taken a lot of money, sweat and love but i finally finished my custom dual sport bike, it has the rugged off-road capabilities of a dirtbike combined with the sleek aerodynamic design of a road bike, with a powerful two-stroke powerplant to boot, what do you guys think?
Noah Hall

Top notch work m8. Well done

Asymmetric headlights are the best though

Ayden Hughes
Generally speaking, how hard is it to replace my clutch plates & springs etc? The biting point is like way at the end of the lever even though the cable is adjusted fine. I've only done relatively basic maintenance so far on my own (oil changes and the like).
James Thompson
I am 198 cm. This windshield(MRA VarioTouringScreen) works well for me until 120 km/h. I can`t say about its advantage/disadvantage over the stock screen, because prewious owner destroyed it. But that little wing really affect the direction of air flow.
Camden Myers
A raghead with a hang glider isn't a mechanic
also >posting on a somali aircraft mechanic's forum
Sebastian Butler
also replacing chain and other sprocket?
Brayden Fisher
It depends on what you're afraid of.
The power flipping you over on corner exit? Not being able to hold on or focus during ahrd acceleration? The weight making the bike hard to lean and unlean? Retarded honda linked brakes making it impossible to ride dirt?
Luis Jenkins

How much is too much to spend on your first bike /dbt/? 3k? 4k? 5k? Or should I just say fuck it and get what I want?
Owen Edwards
That depends on how much money you have, how much you earn and how much you are willing to spend. IMO 2.5k is the cutoff for a first bike.
