>tfw want to learn to clutch up wheelie but don't want to risk writing off a 20k bike.
>insurance is too expensive for a second one
I guess I'll stick to little power wheelies instead

clutch up is safer 2bh, just take it slow

Should I get a plate that says "AM L8"? All the variants with "IM" were taken.

no

Thanks.

Was S0Y taken already?

I'm thinking about getting one of these with "ZX9R"

Get SAY10

Thanks actually not a bad idea.

replace L8 with G4Y and you might have something.

i also suggest C0CK M1LK

I want a KTM 650 Enduro.

Me too

>BR

Huehuehue

Get one that says URMUM

Because I'm riding URMUM ;^)

>br
? Blue ridge

*blocks your path*

Iron Man, the bike

Why would you get that over the RSV4?

Keep telling yourself that, user.

Simple
>Muh Branding
>Muh GP Tech

Doesn't even sound like a GP v4 though. Counter rotating crank is cool if you're a track rat however

The same reason why you would ever bother getting an Italian bike
Because it looks cool

I do have access to 4 tracks :^), true it sounds more of a twin due to firing order. Ducati did this to appease the twinfags.

I thought they did it because that's the firing order of their GP Prototype.

>motocross track near me
>hear it's gr8 for your skills and fun as shit
>been trail riding literally once (also a fair bit of time on a mountain bike)
should I get a cheap 125 2t and some gear and just show up or

yeah they most likely did; but people will believe what they want so.

Baird, was that you on the Husky driving up Divisadero?

German cars > German bikes

...

Hmmm, that is correct it also has the same firing order.

What are demo days like? I haven't ridden many different bikes and I want to know how the Ninja 400 stacks up against my CB400

>friend sends me a fs post of a 73' ts185 in amazing shape
>$200 needs a rebuild
>sold in under an hour

Fuck this sucks.

>suzuki
Wasnt worth it

you shut your whore mouth

BMW's car division has completely lost it, though.

What tires should I buy? I'm thinking sport touring so either Road 4's or Roadtec's

Which Japanese 650 dual sport is the worst?

KLR, by 70lbs

Don't know how they work in bongland, but I'm there are an Imperial shit-ton of demo days videos on YouTube.

just got this, a 76' kawasaki g4tr 100. what kind of engine can I fit to it pretty painlessly? the engine is clearly flooded with water and probably not worth the effort restoring. parts are hard to come by, but I got it for $50. does anyone know what will go onto one fairly easily?

Kx100

...

I'm looking for some boots that are comfortable to wear while walking around while offering decent protection. Bonus points if the looks blend in well with casual wear, but it doesn't matter too much as long as it holds up day to day

I'm currently looking at the Icon Patrol 2

Guys im thinking about selling my dirtbike
>friends either stopped riding or dont go often
>have to load up the bike into truck and use tons of fuel to drive to nowhere.
>close places are boring or full of annoying kids
>only real use the bike gets is at my cabin a few times a year
I just dont know why i keep it around... its super fun when i do ride it though
And i know ill never get back the money input into it

...

laziest bait

If it doesn't cover your shin it is NOT worth the money
Just pull your jeans over a normal pair of Daytona's or tourmasters and no one will notice

Fly M16
I love mine

>owns all those bikes
>still cant get any pussy

>$100 literal Chuck Taylor's
Why?? My goretex boots were less than that

Comfy and they work well
My normal shoes cost more btw

I hear good things about vendramini marathons, pricey tho

wut bike?

Riding "shoes" don't really offer any protection over gym shoes or work boots. get real boots or don't bother.

Google search "degloved foot"
This is what you're asking for. Seriously. Happened to my best friend

What are considered good "real boots" that aren't too expensive? I'd prefer if they were

Mmm, sashimi.

Roadtec's

RSV4 is Italian too. Just not by a memebrand.

I have a pair of random ass tourmasters I bought at the stealership for $89.99 and they've been good for the 2 years I've had them. I even work in them sometimes and they still hold up fine and are mostly waterproof

XR100R
Previous have had many 125 and 250 2t
And have had 450s and 500s 4t
So no judge

I know, I meant the Duc looks better
If people are buying Italian bikes they gravitate towards the flashier or better looking ones
The RSV4 looks nice, but the Panigale looks like a work of art. I

Are they grippier? That's what I heard. I'm concerned about mileage too

Was he wearing fly m16s?
I doubt it

I second the Tourmaster, except the classic boot is too narrow for my fat ass feet.

dual sport it

No he was wearing Converse, same thing. Oh sorry I forgot the little bit of plastic over the ankle

normal riding boots probably wouldn't have come up high enough to prevent that anyway

Yeah but what if it was 5 inches lower? I mean c'mon man you really can't deny the safety advantage of boots over shoes

I wasnt aware converse had toe box, heal box, tang, and ankle braces

Enjoy your "safety shoes" bud. Hope you don't crash and get your leg stuck under the bike while you slide

Lol moron

Do whatever you want man, I'd just like to advise the other guy to be safe. Who gives a shit about style, only posers. I wear gear for one reason, to keep my skin on my body.

Did he died?

Nope. That would make it easy

Tbh I think the factory rsv4 looks better then the v4 just because the paint scheme is amazing but I agree that the Panigale looks better than the RR model

Yeah gripper sides but same hard middle. Good for still wanting to lean but getting good freeway mileage. Unless you do a lot of toegay riding you'll be fine

Delete this!

Wear boots

I do

>most extreme circumstance
Wew
Ive wrecked over 9000 times. This wont happen unless you wear regular shoes

Never take them off

boop

My boyfriend won't like it if I wear them to bed

Never take them off or leave your bed.
Your skin might magically come off

Instant autistic inspiration

What did you say about adventure bikes esse?

I doubt you've wrecked more than 3 or 4 times on pavement, and never at more than 60mph
That shit seriously turns you into a human eraser
I'd post more but they're pretty gruesome, more so than the last one. Just don't be a dumbass, buy gear that will actually keep you safe

Hey buddy

I unironically would like a r1200gs

Shut the fuck up.
Go live in a bubble

I bet I ride harder and faster than you, tool. Just because I spend my money shit that actually works doesmt mean I live in a bubble, or even that I ride more safely than you.
