I'm very adamant on getting an FZ07 as my second bike by the end of this year. I just want to pay off my car completely before I purchase a new vehicle.
Levi Jenkins
Worried.
Tomorrow, I'll do my first meet-up with normalfag work colleague #1 and his biku gf. I have no experience riding with other riders, plus I've been riding solo for 8 months but my cornering speed is really low.
What should I expect and how should I react? If they go too fast to me should I tell them? Or try to keep up? Should I follow their bikes or lead them with mine? Should I bail out right now?
Samuel Gomez
tell them you're gay... ill send you some pictures of me if they don't believe you
Christian Robinson
OK Why would you take out a loan on a car though?
Riding with others isn't all that difficult. If you think you'll be slower, don't force it. Talk to him about it and either ask to go in front to dictate the speed, or hang back and take your time. They'll either wait, or be as slow as you (or slower) in which case you can just wait. Riding with others, at least to me, isn't about going fast, it's about riding in a relaxed manner and having someone to talk to during breaks. Don't stress out. Worst case they're assholes who leave you behind, in which case you just take your time, and if you've completely lost them just go back home.

>Why would you take out a loan on a car though? Because I have good credit and only pay 4% apr. Why wouldn't I? Why be inconvenienced more by waiting years longer to save money for a car and take a bus when I can just finance, continue building credit, remove first time buyer status on vehicles, and allow my next vehicle purchase to be even lower apr and get an even better deal?
I'm paying off my car in 2 years total mind you.

>Why would you take out a loan on a car though? Good luck ever buying a house.
Jose Johnson
>I was a good goy in the past so my greatest ally gave me a special offer where I get to pay more for my car if I continue to be a good goy! Just buy it cash in hand, idiot. Costs even less, you're not a slave to (((anyone))) and you don't get your knees broken if you miss your payments. >waiting years longer to save money for a car Get a better job or accept that not everything can be had right away (or, option 3, be a cuck which is what you're doing). >continue building credit i.e. give Mr. Shekelstein more money so he'll give you a good goy badge that entitles you to not giving him quite as much money in the future (which means you use his services more and gives him more money overall).
Joke's on you, by the time I can settle down and buy a house instead of moving across the country climbing the ladder, I will make enough money and have enough saved up to buy a house in cash. If I do have to borrow money, I ask my family -- they give me 0% interest rates because we're not Jewish. Financing is for people who live above their means.

listen m8. everyone on here are NEETs. they HATE loans cause theyd have to work to pay it back. dont get sucked into the "muh good goy muh shekels" conversations.
Cooper Diaz
you literally can't even get a cell phone plan without decent credit
stop playing yourself
Jack Jackson
Thoughts on track days? I feel like they're only good if you're rolling in money
Jackson Robinson
>murrika They can't have cell phone plans, they can't have public healthcare, they can't have good public education and they can't even have an annual motorcycle meetup. inb4 muh guns
Gabriel Richardson
>Getting a cell phone plan >Ever
I'm all for financing at reasonable rates once you're 25+ and don't get fucked on the insurance (exception: suzuki dealers) but cell phone plans only make sense for consumercuck families with 3 daughters who not only text all the time and do everything on 4g when they have wifi but also demand the newest iphone every single year.
For the rest of us, there's android flagships bought in cash with prepaid sims.
Nolan Mitchell
ok

oh no not again why do you have to post that damn pic everyday.

>Financing is for people who live above their means.
You know that corporations and elites never spend their own money, right? They get banks loans to finance their projects. They also keep the money they earn in the bank. Its far better to keep your cash in your pocket and spend someone else's money, even if there is a fee. Poor people fuck up when the borrow more than they can afford, thats all.
John Cooper
im considering that or an sv650 and im not sure yet
Levi Nguyen
they're quite different bikes
Matthew Harris
they are,my main thing against the 07 is that ive seen in a video that the handlebars are flexing from the connection to the cross,i dont know if thats really an issue tho,when i went to see it on a dealer it also felt really really plasticy i havent seen the sv650 myself tho,does it feel like that too? i guess im second guessing the 07s build quality
Samuel Smith
that's how they're set up, that's vibration damper in the connections of the grip the bearing (I think?) it's called
Adrian Wright
The Mt felt cheap as fuck to me too And it badly needs a tune, the stock one likes to write checks the rear wheel can't cash in SV is slightly better, but it'll feel more relaxed Both have huge followings, you'll be able to buy stuff to fix their shortcomings anyway, so I'd say get the one you like most (Which is why I bought mah shivvy)
Zachary Ramirez
have you tried the xsr700? What was your first bike?
Charles Fisher
are you joking? It's a fucking motorcycle. New high end ones cost like a corolla. Why would you go out of your way to finance a motorcycle when you can just save up in a couple of months and get one without paying interest to a bank?
Grayson Gonzalez
The xsr is the same, my man Lots of fake plastic chrome
Easton Hernandez
honestly if i wasnt a pussy id get a used 690 smc(love it)/duke ,thing blows everything out of the water,maybe i will but it doesnt feel right to pay as much for a used one as a new 650
Zachary Johnson
>not getting the godbike
Jaxson Martinez
This your first bike? Don't buy new And don't buy a duke, ffs Get an husky if you have to
Jayden Walker
hey guys, some guy tried using his car to stop me from lane splitting. what are good ways to serve justice? I was thinking of carrying bits of the ceramic from spark plugs and throw it at their windshield.
Noah Thompson
try honking you moron
Jose Foster
Git gud. Ride around.
Luis Ward
Post bikes.
Owen Rogers
Excited to buy my new bike
What's the firs thing I should do with it? Wheelie and loop it?
Benjamin Young
lmao you serious? is that in all of US or just in some shitty states? also why do you need a plan? if you dont call much you should be fine without one desu
Christian Moore
stop being stupid lol
Charles Lewis
Maybe not be a psychopath
Jayden Ramirez
Interest is nothing more than a convenience fee. Why go without for months when you can pay a jew a few bucks and get the bike now?
Nolan Reed
I'm a student and not the son of a billionaire >a couple months more like 2 years
Nolan Perez
>They get banks loans to finance their projects Difference being their projects make money whereas yours costs money
Thomas Russell
>convenience fee
a goy and his shekels are easily parted
this isn't mortgage for a house or even taking out a car loan. It's a fucking motorcycle. If you can't save up for it in cash just get a cheaper bike. How are you planning on paying road tax and insurance for the machine if you can barely afford one?
John Turner
Well whatever, to each their own. Id rather keep my cash in the bank and just get a loan.
Adrian Carter
...
Josiah Collins
...
Isaiah Hernandez
I can easily afford insurance and taxes, that's 300€/year plus 150€/month for the bike, that's no problem and that's about all I could "save" up if I didn't buy the bike, maybe a hundred more or so of course if I saved for two years I'd finish uni and get a job and afford a way better bike but I wanted it last year and not ride the bus for all eternity
Oliver Evans
Yes
Ian Parker
>get inconvenienced >destroy another man's property Are you literally 7 years old? Just go around him or wait a couple of seconds. Chances are you were being a cunt about it to boot, otherwise cagers wouldn't care.
Justin King
Here's a thought. Save up for a year and get a cheap shitbike because you'll more than likely rek your first bike anyway. And when that happens, at least you can simply write it off instead of having to pay for a bike you can't ride for another fucking year. Or don't. Finance your meme bike. Buy a camera. Be sure to record your crash and post it here. It's been what, 3 years since Ninja650CrashAnon? Time for a successor.
Ryan Foster
...
Charles Rivera
I can't feel my hands Fuck cold weather
Julian Watson
get a moped,cheap to buy ,pretty much 0 maintenance cost and tax/insurance/gas and will get you out of the bus,then save up and get whatever you want whenever you can afford it
Elijah Wilson
>Ninja650CrashAnon History time?
Carter Thomas
>be Australian faggot >come to /dbt/ asking about gud first bike >get told GS 500 >go and finance brand new Ninja 650 because can't afford to buy even a cheap shitbike outright >total it after like 2 weeks >have to make payments on it for another 2 years or so Many lulz were had.
Jacob Carter
must suck to live life with such a negative attitude
Wyatt Martin
...
Ian Bailey
But he has a point, though. Save up, start with a cheap bike.
Jace Perry
By all means, go ahead and throw your money away. At least I'll have something to laugh about.
Jose Wright
Your bike troubles me I thought only the faired Fs were belt drive Also, you should probably get a guard for it if you plan to offroad with it Shit can wedge in and destroy your pulleys
Jaxson Fisher
this is what i cant understand,why do people take loans so lightly,its far better to have a big % of the cost in cash and loan for safety than getting a loan when youve currently got like 500 bux in your name...
Easton Cruz
In my country it's considered stupid to get loans and banks will do anything they can to avoid giving them out
Luis Phillips
I had a faired F with belt drive previously. Not doing any serious off-roading with this one, just the occasional shortcut. Thanks for the guard tip though. When I get a big bike, might hang on to this one and put more dirt-oriented tyres on it.
Joshua Bailey
it's almost always stupid to get a loan when you're poor especially for a toy like a motorcycle.. maybe a bit less stupid if you need a car for work or something it makes sense to take a loan if you have enough money that holding onto it will make more money in interest than you'll spend on the loan's interest but i hardly think that's true of "convenience fee" user
Andrew Price
Miss that bike tho ;_;
Liam White
wait.. the one in the picture you're replying to is not belt drive?
Grayson Morgan
Grow up.
Picking fights on a bike only ends in tears, and you're dragging down the image of motorcyclers while you're at it.
1/10 I replied
Eli Hernandez
Yes it is
Noah Bell
oh i'm just retarded and misread what you wrote carry on
Jayden Murphy
Ride your pace and let them ride theirs. DO NOT watch them ride, keep doing like you have been, look ahead as far as possible, Pick your line and try to be smooth. Speed will come, stick with the basics.
Anybody that rides would much rather wait for you for a bit at the next direction change for 2 minutes rather than wait an hour watching you get loaded in an amberlamps.
Smile fuckhead, you are out riding, don't sperge about shit that doesn't matter, nobody really cares how fast you are.
Luke Young
This, don't drop your spaghettis or your bike and enjoy the ride, tell them you're a beginner and they'll understand just fine, we've all been there.
Parker Edwards
>They also keep the money they earn in the bank
No they don't, minimal operating cash yes but the bulk of their worth, not even close.
Oliver Ward
Hey guys. Recently got a tu250X. (don't judge, its a fun bike) Anyway, the stock mirrors are dogshit and I am looking for new ones. Where's a good place to order from and a good brand for long stem round mirror ? 10Mm mounts.
Bentley Roberts
why do you even want mirrors in the first place
Luke Roberts
So i can look at myself from different angles without them vibrating like your moms dildo.
Justin Hill
The spark plugs trick doesn't work on windshields, they're coated and shatterproof. You have to get a side or rear window. Also you're a child.
Adam White
Give them a little knock on their window and a "what gives?" gesture.
Levi Cruz
Heated grips ,you can put them on your bike for less than a hundred burger bucks. I still wear my vented summer gloves into the high 30s and my hands are fine.
Hunter Miller
>high 30s >cold
Jack Roberts
You have to have full coverage insurance on financed rides here in burger land. Sucked to be him.
Thomas Harris
He did IIRC, it was one of the stipulations of the loan contract --- except the accident was his own fault, so he got no money from the insurance. All he got was a hefty insurance fee.
Nathan Walker
Confirmed by digits, Checked.
Jason Phillips
what the fuck is that scooter-bike hybrid ahahahah suzuki are you drunk? still looks better than that bmw k-gt shit
Ryder Sanchez
It's the M A J E S T I C PORPOISE
Ayden Gray
That's not how insurance works.
Henry Lewis
It's ugly but it's a GSXS-1000 underneath so it is a pretty good hooligan bike, just hideous.
Luke Butler
That's as cold as it gets here. Sorry you live in one of the shitty areas.
For the guy that originally asked, with warm gloves it'll get you into the teens easy.
Elijah Turner
>pay insurance fee >more coverage = higher fee >if damage to someone's property happens under certain circumstances, insurance pays for it You'll be hard-pressed to find any company that will insure you (especially as an Australian beginner rider) against damages to your own bike, that are your own fault.
Henry Edwards
Yeah not here in burger land.
Gabriel Wood
If he didn't have collision coverage, that's exactly how insurance works.
He also probably didn't have gap insurance
Aaron Morgan
Then that's liability insurance, it only covers damage done by you to other people and other people's property, full coverage means full coverage, regardless of who is at fault, sure your rates will go up but you still get a payout.
Oliver Cox
Nope. Full coverage will pay for damage you inflict upon someone else's property even if it was your fault, NOT damage to your own property.
Hunter Butler
Then you're getting ripped off by your insurance company even more than everyone else is. So for your insurance what is the difference between full coverage and the minimum liability coverage? Because what you call full coverage is liability for me.
Robert Sanchez
Covers wildlife accidents and weather damage to your vehicle (partial coverage), plus damage done to your vehicle by third parties (things like marauding hooligans; this is full coverage)
Benjamin Brooks
At least in the US, collision coverage falls under the umbrella of full coverage.
Asher Carter
you forgot the most important part it was restricted and he derestrcited it and claimed then to be the hottest shit and because he derestricted it the insurance didn't pay
Ayden Howard
Sucks to suck
Benjamin Roberts
then he got mad and also started to post scat porn in every dbt for 2 continuing weeks
Colton Reyes
Kek, dbt user's never fail to make me laugh
Matthew Hall
Those were the times. And newfags complain about GSposting. They know NOTHING.
