Daily Bike Thread - /dbt/

Kek you still remember my triggering post? Nice gear doe faggot, mirin.

It's not even my bike.

I just find the idea of a cheap UJM passing an R1 because the rider is a huge chicken entartaining.

P.S i'd smash your boipuccy on my hornet any day of the week.

Hey guys, will you ride your big bike in this kind of situation?

No because i don't live in some 3rd world shit hole.

No, that would just kill my bike

I wouldn't ride at all. It looks faster to walk in places like that.

POO
IN
LOO

>Want to buy fz09
>Have enough money to buy one
>Insurance would be like 1000/month if they would even insure me at all
I fucking hate Ontario

Why not move?

But if you do, please dont be like everyone from Ontario who never stops talking about how great Ontario is.

Reposting from last thread.

Interested in getting this bike, Honda 250XL I believe, if someone here knows for sure let me know!

I'd like to have this bike for just puttering around town whenever I'm not using my FZ6. The seller is asking $1700 for it which I believe is way too high for this, especially with the way the chain looks and the mud caked all over the bike. (Of course I'm gonna remove the milk-crate too)

Would $600 be a good counter offer? If not that then what? I'd like to haggle a bit, there's no way I'm gonna pay so much for this putt-putt bike.
I'd like to restore it and make it look nicer.

Thank you /dbt/!

Forgot image goddamn it.

Morning faggots, who else rode home in the rain this morning from work?

when are you gonna get a r1

Probably early next year. Can't choose between the R1M, an FZ-10 or a craigslist special liter. But I've been saving my bennies. :-DDD

>dad can't stop gushing about bike I found for him
>he already rode like 3k km on it
>says it needs new brake pads
>buy brake pads, visit him today
>look at old ones, still 3mm material left, put them back in
>gear store is open today
>he decides he'll look at textiles because his 30 year old leathers are kind of inconvenient and thirty years old
>also a new helmet because the 15+ year old one is falling apart
>and maybe new boots
The last time we looked at helmets for him he was being a pain in the ass, but now that he's been riding for a few weeks again he remembers what helmets should feel like.
>go and try on gear
>find some comfortable, good quality textiles
>literally the second helmet we look at fits perfectly and costs half what I expected
>get 100 € off of the purchase because store anniversary or some shit
Wouldn't have expected gear shopping with him to be as fun as it ended up being, given past experiences.
The only thing I hate about the store is the boots section. Little variety, everything is really fucking expensive for what's on offer. Like, fuck off, I'm not going to pay as much for waterproof boots as for a helmet.

What are some indispensable things at a track day, apart from monies, tape, stool / camping chair, basecap, sunglasses, water?

nothing of these is needed for a trackday lmao

Why the fuck does your mothers opinion matter

canopy tent, high carb quick food, spare undies/socks if you sweat like an animal, the will to live, electrolyte water, etc..

don't listen to this non constructive comment

Beautiful bike friend

You need monies to eat
Tape for headlight
Stool because fuck sitting on the ground, I'm no young whipper snapper anymore
Basecap because I'm white
Sunglasses because I dislike being blinded
Water because I'm human

Tent is on the list for next time
Will buy some sugary goodness tomorrow before leaving
Good point on the undies
>Electrolyte water
I have regular mineral water and might bring a thermos with some hot tea -- the morning will be chilly.
>will to live
fugg

I was lucky and didn't have to work today.
Did ride in the rain yesterday for work.

lmao are you trying to live at the track?
retard just ride there, track your bike and ride home lol

Squid who wheelies down the main straight once, gets scared by the corners and rides home in shame without completing a single hot lap detected.
I'm spending the entire day there, it'll be sunny and there's time in between runs when the other groups get their track time.
All the stuff I posted doesn't even take up half of my backpack.

Have you ever been outside for a day?

completely wrong you fucc
i did at least 5 trackdays on my bikes already so eh keep telling yourself shit and think youre superior because you pack unneccessary shit lmao

That's not what I asked.
Again, have you ever been outside for a day?

>h-haha fucking idiots bringing unnecessary shit
>m-my back doesn't even hurt at all lmao it's all part of the track experience
>my head is probably spinning from the adrenaline, i went so fast today bruh, water is for pussies anyway
>i wish I could have more sun in my eyes so i could really show those weak willed bitches what a REAL track rider is

Thanks el frendo :--)

lol so triggered right now because of packing useless stuff lololololol

>hurr i can't think so i need direct answers to normal questions
since I said i do trackdays i obviously have to have been outside lol????
fucking idiot, lol...

WR please lie down, you're talking nonsense again.

Your "trackday" could just be a single lap around the track. That's why I'm asking if you've ever been outside for a day. On which you refuse to answer.

>>>>hurr i can't think and need to be spoonfed because of autism
is that what you are trying to tell me lol?

>get's btfod
>goes to namecalling
rofl

>is that what you are trying to tell me lol?
No.
I was just trying to ask you a question, but even after asking it three times you didn't understand it.

couldn't you figure it out out of the context?
haha oh man you are pretty stupid!!

not wr anton but its a pretty stupid question, maybe worded poorly.

t. wr user

I'm 12 btw

...

>ride home
>no plates

Okay Veeky Forums. britfag here doing my A2 license soon, persuade me from buying one of these beauties and lying to insurance. pic related.

>buying bikes that aren't road worthy to save 500 grams on lights for muh track times

The bike can be converted back to oem specs. I bought the bike just to do track days. Removing the lights isnt for weight saving purposes.

Is this a good 2nd bike?

>Honda
no

Maybe

RIP ;-;7

What?

bimota shut down today.

It's sundown Saturday to sundown today.
White pass. Yakima river. Roughly 400 miles and two diners.

I must be really tired because ive been laughing at that picture for about 5 minutes now.
i stopped looking at porn to do this.

Everybody talks SHIT about the Ninja 250... until the insurance bill comes in. $318 FULL coverage for a year. I've wrecked her once and got a $2,600 payout. Fixed it for $600 and pocketed the 2 grand. Thats what I paid for her in the first place. So, I pretty much got a free bike by wrecking it and then fixing it.

>paying $318/y on insurance for a 250

my 600 was only 265/year

how to do a u turn? gonna get my permit tomorrow.
test is zig zag 3 cones then do a u turn and come back.
its a 350cc,pls help

Youblook where you wanna go and tilt the bike into the curve by counterleaning

Ever ridden a bicycle? Like that.

i think i payed $280 for a year of full coverage.

600 or 700 is what I'd give for one. People are losing their minds on asking prices for old bikes lately.

Depends of course on your country and region.

You are a worthy son.

Smart move. You can go faster on machines you can afford to sacrifice because you have another motorcycle.

I also vote for bringing shit instead of wasting money on track food and drinks. It's fucking trivial to pack and unpack.

They were decent machines in their day.

You never want to let it sit without draining the carbs because they somewhat suck to remove and install for cleaning. They don't suck to clean but make sure you segregate removed parts by the carb they came off of.

I'd offer in the high teens for it.

I'm not sure how I get through the day without that uplift.

Thanks Justin.

What do you guys think of the new harleys? That fat bob looks f'n amazeballs tiff fromage

still dont care for them but i like that they are doing news things kinda.

Have they lost the rights to their name or why are they only printing the outline of the logo anymore?

Still look and sound like shit

I visited an HD dealer yesterday and threw my leg over one. It felt weird as fuck. It is 4" longer, and 4" shorter than my Silvereing. It felt tiny as fuck, even though it weighs a hundred pounds more. Between that and the feet-forward controls (which I'm not used to), it just felt really bizarre. It is supposed to do 34 degrees of lean, but the only suspension adjustments are preload on the rear.

Buying a US brand would be great, but I'd rather get an XSR900 and an FZ09 for the same price.

>18
>Tfw 2600 for a shitbike
Ontario is great isn't it?

4" longer wheelbase, 4" shorter seat height to clarify

Not really, the name is on the other side. Kind of sleek lookin

Nothing stopping you from buying a Scout.

when i was 19 i payed $770 a year for full coverage on my GSXR600

Ontario is retarded. I pay $115/month for a $32,000 SUV but a fucking bike worth 1/4 of that costs me even more.

Fuck this gay province.

I haven't sat on one yet, duly noted. I ride a vulcan S, so I'm not sure the position would be a big adjustment for me. I wanted to get an Indian Scout since HD axed the VROD, but the fat bob looks the bit

REPORTED MODS MODS MODS

Nice baiku. My dream bike is an '07 gsxr 750 in all white or the stock blue

yeah i miss it. i debate on buying it back from the lady i sold it to.

>bring your own beer
>buy a van and load your bike to and from the track

Anyone here own a4th gen ford e150?

Dude I'm from Bongistan and I'd consider that superb, you pay about £800 for a 125 over here, I'm paying about £780 a year for a Tuono 1100 with some experience behind me, but nobody under 30 would get insurance that cheap on a 250, it's unreal.

Jesus christ that's all you've gotta do to be on the road? And you don't even know how to U Turn?

I'm paying €192/y for my GS
