a race bike isnt much good for trail riding, this is coming from first hand experience.
and what race bikes are 160lbs?
>>14181201
The Freeride is like a crossover trials/dirt bike, I don't think you could really compare that to a 500EXC
>>14181246
you dont need to tell me that, but its still 30+lbs heavier than the freerides
but not having ridden a freeride i have no idea if their ergos or power delivery is any good

Once again you are posting more fucking harley pictures than people are posting in general.
Why do you come on dbt to spam harley pictures for 3 hours until the thread hits the image limit at 200 posts?
Your life must be bloody pathetic if this is how you get your kicks.

how do you guys not get pinched by the cops?
in Australia a bike like that (if ridden on the road) is technically unregistered, uninsured, fail to display plates, unroadworthy and if they wanted to they could stich you up.
You can get conditional rego in some states but. Usually I see those sorts of bikes on trailers going to the trails. If they're on the road they're usually just hiding/running from the cops.
But considering America's police pursuit policy (i'm assuming you're american) that might be dangerous..

>>14181407
Well in my area, they just don't give a fuck. Lots of public land to legally ride on right outside of my neighborhood so I rarely, if ever, run into a cop on the way to the trail. Alamoanon and I have ridden past cops stopped for speed traps and they never followed us.
>>14181378
Which one though
>>14181429
Well in America it looks like they smash the offenders leading the pursuit physically, criminally and civilly later.
But cops in Australia are much more risk averse as a result of feedback from the Coroner. So they don't usually pursue. Especially for traffic matters.
Everyone sues the cops it seems because at least they have the money. And the courts are alot more critical of the cops for pursuing the offenders if it goes bad and a bystander gets hurt.
>>14181407
Have you never come across the police on dirt bikes?
They are keen cunts, they try to get up beside you and kick you off your bike.
Running from them is like 70% of the reason you go up bush.
>>14181442
>do it
we can start dbt smokers lounge
>>14181442
You're lucky. It's gotten harder and harder to find off road places around here. One of my favorite spots was near a river, but some duochebag strung wire across places on the trail and a rider got decapitated.
>>14181489
yeh from where I am it seems you can either get a trailer and drive out to the trails or get a dual sport and ride the hour to the trails. But then you need some sort of puncture repair options.
>>14181415
>450exc
Good bike choice, most reliable dirt bike i ever owned is a 450exc, managed to get 300 hours of trail riding out of it before doing an engine rebuild

>>14181473
Des the one I posted look like a KX250 with a headlight? The plastics just look wrong to me for a KDX
>>14181489
It's happening here too. One of the best riding areas is currently in limbo because some dickhead rancher whose land it runs through gated up the trail illegally, but he's funding the county government so they don't want to do anything about it. He's trying to get it closed for good.
>>14181505
my 690 does 5000k's between oil changes?
not sure how long it's going to live though.
Wouldn't have bought it without dat warranty.
>>14181509
got it
>>14181466
In the U.S. cops aren't allows to use contact or violence unless you are endangering peoples lives or being excessively reckless. Otherwise they just pursue you and call in an air unit until you stop.
>>14181505
how do you know when a 450 needs a rebuild?
>>14181515
plastic are wrong, they even have KX decals on them but you can see the subframe is a kdx one at least
what's with people doing these shit dumps lately.
>>14181515
Its his property. Nothing wrong with that.
>>14181505
Yeah. I'm looking at a 2004. My brother has a 2005 and I've ridden it and really like it. The main thing making me skeptical and reluctant to buy it is the odometer/hour meter has been taken out. Looks like the last owner took care of it fairly well though.

coming from the person who used to spam shitty cafe racers
>>14181521
I normally do oil changes every second ride, if i do over 100km of single trail riding i will do it every ride. They are race bikes, the engines don't hold much oil to save weight so it gets nasty quick if you are riding them hard.
>>14181530
yeh, technically they have a similar policy here. But the reality of the situation is that they don't generally pursue unless you're endangering the public AND pursuit is the best way to get it to stop.
The only recent example I can think of is someone driving on the wrong side of the road after an armed robbery and continuing to do so after police discontinued the pursuit. Clearly he's driving that way irrespective of police involvement and the public expect police to step in.
The concern is that it might look like police caused or contributed to the subsequent fatal crash.
>>14181556
It all startedwhen you showed up fagget
>>14181515
frame. engine, and forks all look like a KDX. There's also a vin/frame# you could search.
>>14181557
It isn't. It's a public trail running through his property. Similar to multi thousand acre ranches with an asphault highway running through them. The rancher owns everything on either side of the highway but the highway is public.
>>14181548
Probably gonna try and look at it this weekend.
>>14181570
>implying cafe
nah just well restored UJM standards. and I would at least talk while I did it.
>>14181574
>The concern is that it might look like police caused or contributed to the subsequent fatal crash.
Yea, American police definitely don't care about that. They just blame it on whoever was being pursued.
>>14181588
Its his land.
Its only a trail not a public road.
Suck it up princess
>>14181594
we would love to do that here. But the courts and the coroner hold a different opinion. The relevant police comissioners/ministers won't stand up to the courts and so our states have very risk averse policies.
ie. not supposed to get into a foot chase or taser someone that's been consuming paint/glue because they can die.
How the fuck is that the police's fault? ultimately it's very rare you know that before hand.
The Coroner and lawyers trying to make a buck would suggest that any aboriginal is likely to be in that category...
>>14181594

Varies states to state; Victoria, SA and NT are the only police that might consider pursuing for anything not life imprisonment related.
QLD has no balls.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-07-13/victoria-overhauls-police-pursuit-policy-following-review/6615492
Basically if you pursue and it goes bad. Ya gonna have a bad time.
Potentially misconduct charges and getting sued civilly. The Police force won't back you, that's why you pay union fees.

>>14181607
Well I think the Aussie policy makes more sense. In the U.S. police will escalate things till their ultimate conclusion, whatever that may be. Even if it starts as something ridiculous like an argument with no crime committed. It could escalate to the police shooting or tazing someone.
I think the main issue with American police is the lack of a "call it off" atitude wherein they don't escalate past a certain point if the initial issue was minor or inconsequential.
But the American police military industrial complex in the U.S. won't allow such things. They want maximum power and maximum authority to do what they want. And they have the prosecutors, the crime/prison lobbyists, and legislature on their side.

are you jelly of our little slice of freedom?
>>14181625
We have gated public dirt roads like that on cattle stations here in Australia. Its perfectly legal to go through the gates, its just expected that you close them once you have gone through, plus its courteous.
>>14181657
Yeh there is a very different attitude towards policing.
In Australia police seem to be glorified social workers. Or they give up on fighting crime and just focus on traffic enforcement because it's easy and black/white.
If you try a pursuit here you take your career in your hands.
There is alot more training here and alot more oversight. Once again, the courts (judges) are all from civil liberties brigade and background. So they have a completely different opinion. Always taking the criminals side.
America's police seem almost paramilitary. They seem like they don't get much legislation training. I'm confident they get paid less and have shorter training/supervision phases.
>>14181650
Part of the problem is he is threatening to shoot any "trespassers" that go through the illegal gates. Amazing how a little money in the government forgives you threatening the lives of people wanting to use public land eh?
>>14181689
I would go through anyway and let him shoot at me. Then I would sue the ever living shit out of him.
>>14181689
you americans are crazy with your stand your ground laws and the authorisation of lethal force against trespassers.
Jesus christ, imagine if you shot a trespasser and it was someone trying to get donations or sell girlscouts cookies? or someone just making a legitimate enquiry? or your kid's mate that you falsely identified?
>>14181673
>are you jelly of our little slice of freedom?
Kek. I own 2 pistols and 3 rifles.
In fact I am more proficient in shooting a handgun than the majority of the australian police force.
They only shoot once a year and thats just to pass the handgun test.
Having a pistol licence means I need to shoot at least 6 times a year and compete in 1 comp a year.
Its stupid.
>>14181718
yeh but can't randomly ride around with guns in the top box.
Probably a good thing looking at the way alot of people drive.
Road rage incidents would become murders...
Imagine Aboriginal people with guns?
>>14181676
This is a different situation. Most public/BLM land here is like that. Just close the gate if it was closed when you rode up on it and you're good to ride and camp wherever. This guy is just trying to drive up the property value by privatizing a super popular canyon.
>>14181673
I don't really have use for your YZ. If I get a KDX or similar it'd be a replacement for the KLX.
>>14179802 #
sorry lad I didn't know.. and the bike is heavy and would be pretty difficult to "run" and hold a 400lb+ bike if im not even on it to balance it from falling over to the other side
>>14181715
Or it was like that dumbass mother who shot and killed her own kid the other week.
In their own home no less
>>14181715
not all americans are ok with this. nor the fact that any fuckhead can go buy a gun without a background check or anything.
>>14181715
You cannot shoot someone just for being on your property (unless you reasonably fear for your life). Castle doctrine refers to a dwelling specifically.
>>14181718
sounds like your police is about as good as ours
and your pistol lic rules are fucking retarded, does it at least grant you an unlimited number of pistols you can own?
>>14181732
ill sell you a gun or two?
>>14181715
NM does not have stand your ground law. What he is threatening is 100% illegal.
>>14181710
Or, y'know, die. This is in the middle of nowhere NM not middle of Albuquerque or something.
>>14181748
we have the same legislation here in QLD Australia; We just don't usually have guns lying around, they're usually in safes unless in use.
272 Self-defence against provoked assault
(1) When a person has unlawfully assaulted another or has provoked an assault from another, and that other assaults the person with such violence as to cause reasonable apprehension of death or grievous bodily harm, and to induce the person to believe, on reasonable grounds, that it is necessary for the person's preservation from death or grievous bodily harm to use force in self-defence, the person is not criminally responsible for using any such force as is reasonably necessary for such preservation, although such force may cause death or grievous bodily harm.
>>14181740
I do it on 400+lb street bikes all the time.
Are you not comfortable walking a bike around form the side without your leg swung over? If not, get used to it first.
Once the bike is moving you can steer it like you would while riding while running along side it to maintain balance. It's not hard.
>>14181731
>Aboriginal people with guns?
Usually too high on glue to walk let alone operate a firearm.
Plus guns are reasonably expensive here.
>>14181747
>the fact that any fuckhead can go buy a gun without a background check or anything.

>>14181710
can't sue someone when you're dead.
>>14181715
I don't think that's how it works.
>>14181762
yeh I was just saying, fortunately with our current rules no aboriginal is going to go thorugh the training course, background checks, waiting period and be sobre enough to get a gun.
Imagine if we had america's rules and aboriginals could pick up a gun for $100 just vising a store. Society would crumble.
>>14181779
I don't know why it's called a loophole, it's a private party sale. Just like you can sell a car private party to someone without a license to operate one.
>>14181779
I'm not any expert, I don't live in America. But I did watch a documentary taking place in some American state and they legally purchase a gun in a carpark, like off Craigslist and they meet the guy and hand over cash.
No paperwork changes hands, no proof of licence?
If that's legit that's a pretty interesting situation...
>>14181779
kit kat talking about shit he knows nothing about.
Can you please just shut up for once on a subject you don't know anything about?
>>14181796
you don't need a driver's licence to possess a car, only to operate it on a road.
You should need a licence to possess a firearm.
>>14181758
That's worded much more conservatively than what we have in the U.S
This is one of the most liberal gun hating states in the country, California:
>§ Penal Code 198.5
>"Any person using force intended or likely to cause death or great bodily injury within his or her residence shall be presumed to have held a reasonable fear of imminent peril of death or great bodily injury to self, family, or a member of the household when that force is used against another person, not a member of the family or household, who unlawfully and forcibly enters or has unlawfully and forcibly entered the residence and the person using the force knew or had reason to believe that an unlawful and forcible entry occurred."
Basically, if someone who you don't know is in your house or is forcing their way into your house, you have the right to kill them where they stand. That's American Castle Doctrine.
I like the American version better.
>>14181779
you think criminals buy guns at public shows?
also at least here in WA all the gun shows are run by clubs which you need to be a member of to buy a gun at and to be a member you need to pass a background check anyways.
any fuckwad can buy a car and run people down without a license check.
laws dont stop criminals
>>14181765
The ability to buy guns at gun shows or in person privately without background checks in some states is real. It's not a "loophole". It is an explicit allowance to allow the sale of guns without burdening private citizens with excessive regulation.

>>14181756
>grant you an unlimited number of pistols you can own?
Not really. As you need a reason for owning each handgun. So you need to have different caliber pistols and then claim they are for diferent competitions.
I was thinking about selling my pistols and just letting my H licence expire. Its too much fucking around. Plus the cops can just rick up to my house and demand to see my pistols and inspect the gun safe
>>14181809
No, possession of a firearm is a constitutionally guaranteed right. Driving a car is not.
Licensing gun owners in order to posses guns is a power not given to the government. The government has no authority to do so.
>>14181810
You're right, Our trespassing defence only extends to using bodily harm (bruises?) to evict a trespasser.
In that scenario you can usually identify the intruder and confirm they're not a 10 year old or something innocent.
Then if the situation escalates you have that protection, if they present a threat of grevious bodily harm or death you can reply in kind.
I think it's more specific but the protection is still there.
The only difference is we don't have easy access to guns. They have to be safely stored when not in use. Ammunition seperate.

move to America and enjoy an unlimited number of guns without the LEO barging in on your shit and not have to justify shit
>>14181843
>this guy gets it
>>14181833
Because statistically the amount of firearms bought through the so called "loophole" that are used by prohibited persons is so small that there is no problem.
The millions of $$$ used to promote and lobby for the closing of the "loophole" could be used a to much much much greater benefit getting the fucking ATF and local prosecutors to actually pursue those who violate existing gunlaws.
>>14181843
you can grantee a right and still provide reasonable restriction.
If everyone can have guns, provided they pass a 2 day course and have some checks done and a bit of a waiting period pass, I don't see how any rights are being infringed.
You can still have the guns at the end of the day.
We still have guns here.
Similarily in America that right to possess guns CAN be infringed if you're a felon. So there your government accepts some infringment because you don't want felons having guns.

a lack of a national database of who has a gun for one. any cop can look up your drivers license from any police cruiser to verify the owner of the vehicle, why can't you do that with gun ownership.
or that no education is required to wield or purchase a weapon. why? it is as dangerous as a car, why not teach people proper ownership of this.
>>14181865
the government doesn't "accept" some infringement
they are the infringement.
the 2nd amendment specifically states "shall not be infringed" which is exactly what those laws are aiming to do by adding additional cost and restrictions on people owning guns
>>14181865

The law of the constitution explicitly states that the right "shall not be infringed" by the government.
>f everyone can have guns, provided they pass a 2 day course and have some checks done and a bit of a waiting period pass, I don't see how any rights are being infringed.
Because if someone doesn't pass said requirements their rights WILL be infringed. And that infringement is beyond the authority of the government.
>You can still have the guns at the end of the day.
Unless you don't jump through the necessary hoops, then your rights are infringed. That's the part that's illegal.
>Similarly in America that right to possess guns CAN be infringed if you're a felon. So there your government accepts some infringement because you don't want felons having guns.
Current infringement of rights doesn't qualify further infringement. There is legal battles in the U.S. right now over the rights of felons and those who have been illegally disarmed.

>Image limit reached
Shit
>>14181901
you pay for it because its not a fucking right genius.
adding mandatory classes and expenses only sees to price lower income people out of guns, and they tend to be the people who would need them the most

I wasn't saying it's your/your wife's fault. I just thought it was funny how that image can represent and possibly even contribute to the shootings we hear about every day.

>>14181923
i use all types of paper targets when i go for a range day, not once has this led me to devalue any human life and think of them as a potential target.
the mentally unsound might, but i cant really speak for them.
but all those gun control dollars might actually do some real good if they got invested in mental health instead of harassing law abiding citizens constantly
>>14181866
Because when you do need to defend yourself with a gun, usually its against human shaped targets.
>>14181877
>the constitution can be amended. and no one is saying anything about
I never said it couldn't be. Good luck with that constitutional amendment removing one of america's core rights. It would never even make it to state ratification, even if you could get it through congress.
>any cop can look up your drivers license from any police cruiser to verify the owner of the vehicle, why can't you do that with gun ownership.
Because we have constitutionally protected rights and natural rights. The right to privacy being one of them.
I don't want to government to have the private data on my private firearms so they can look up my private residence whenever they want.
>no education is required to wield or purchase a weapon. why?
Because that is an infringement and an authority that the government DOES NOT HAVE. The government cannot legally do something that is beyond their outlined authority. The ultimate outline of that authority being the Constitution.
>it is as dangerous as a car
Doesn't matter.
>why not teach people proper ownership of this.
People are free to seek and learn by their own free will. Not by any government mandate.
>>14181921
>tend to be the people who would need them the most
no one NEEDS a gun. they might want a gun, but you don't need a gun. further, you have to pay for identification, registration for your gun, taxes and everything else you do. it's not like you buy a gun (which you have to pay for, it isn't guaranteed and given to you as a natural right) and that is that.

1) Creates pay barrier to exercised an enumerated Right.
2)Creates a government monopoly and bureaucracy as to whom can teach the classes which means you have politicians who know fuckall about firearms and their safety dictating their proper usages and giving their cronies new job openings.
3)Yay, lets give political fuckheads even more control of what we can and can't do!
Lets be honest. If you are not a racial minority engaged in illegal activities and from a low socio-economic background or if you're not suicidal, THERE IS NO 'GUN PROBLEM'.
tl;dr: Don't be poor, black, or suicidal and guns are A'ok!
>>14181901
Driving a car on a public road is not the same as private ownership of a firearm.
One is a constitutionally protected right. The other isn't.
Your attempts to draw parallels between are ill informed.
The government doesn't have the authority do with firearms what they do with vehicles. Plain and simple.
>>14181966
>australia did it right with the buybacks and all
The only reason it worked so well here is the fact we are isolated and don't share any borders.

>no one NEEDS a gun. they might want a gun, but you don't need a gun.
Wanting or needing a gun is of no consequence. It doesn't matter if you think I need it or not. I have the RIGHT to have it. And I have the RIGHT to use it to defend myself against person, government, or foreign invader..
>further, you have to pay for identification, registration for your gun, taxes and everything else you do.
You don't have to pay for any of that necessarily to buy a gun.
>t's not like you buy a gun (which you have to pay for, it isn't guaranteed and given to you as a natural right) and that is that.
The right to life and to feed yourself is a natural right, but you are not just given food. That's not how rights work.
The right to own a firearm and protect yourself is a right. That means if you so choose you have the right to go and buy (or make) said firearm for that purpose.

but it didnt work, it had no measurable effect on overall violent crime, it just brought gun related violent crime down and still didnt alter the over all crime decline AUS was already experiencing.

>>14181995
The fact that mass shootings happen doesn't mean they are a huge problem.
They are sensationalized by the media to the extreme but realistically amount to an insignificant amount of deaths.
Mass shootings are not the problem they are made out to be. Significantly more people die from fistfights in a month than people die from "mass shootings" in a year.
>>14182007
>but it didnt work, it had no measurable effect on overall violent crime
I was referring to the buyback scheme and how it removed those guns, of course non gun related crime rose as now those previous crimes were not committed with guns, instead they used knifes/bats/other objects as weapons.
>>14182025
>In a world with so many people why would it matter if just a few die from unfit people getting guns
In a world with so many rights, why would it matter if just 1 right would get taken away?
Statistically insignificant. Tragic, horrendous, terrible. But in the grand scheme of things insignificant. One of the most devastating attack against a school for the longest time was by a whackjob with dynamite. Spend 5 minutes onlien and you can make a bomb from shit at your local hardware store.
>>14181966
KKK, I'm not going to mock you and call you ignorant about the 2a/anti-2a issue. Just do this: Look up the # of firearm homicides in the USA vs # of firearms OWNED. Now look at the # of motorcycle deaths vs # of motorcycles in the USA. Now give some heavy thought as to if the same people who are trying to kill the 2nd amendment wouldn't be some of the same people who would eventually try in install Aussie/euro regulations on motorcycles or outright banning them.
Guns kill people
>>14182043
That's an unfit analogy. Gun regulations are to protect bystanders from being hurt by the people who buy guns. Any regulations on motorcycles would merely protect the riders from themselves.
>>14182007
>but it didnt work, it had no measurable effect on overall violent crime
This.
The same thing happened with the Federal Assault Weapons Ban in the U.S.
In the 1990's "scary" and "dangerous" "assault weapons" were banned. It had no appreciable impact on the already steady downturn of violent crime.
Then in the 2000's when the FAWB expired, there was no uptick or appreciable increase in violent crime.
In fact now, there are more "assault weapons" in American circulation than ever and violent crime is STILL going down.
Gun grabbers don't like this fact though and choose to ignore it.

>>14182041
Because it is a fucking RIGHT. The right to defend yourself (and the means to do so) is a fundamental natural right.
You don't just disregard rights all willy nilly, even if peoples lives are lost. Entire wars have been fought and millions of lives have been lost in the protection of mans rights and ability to live free.
i'm sorry that you're such a ckuck that you are willing to just abandon your own rights. But everyone is not so worthless.
Seriously though,
If you don't like guns then good for you. You don't have to like them, you don't have to buy/use/learn-about them. Just leave those of us who do like them the hell alone. You put yourself through more danger walking out the door on an icy morning, taking a bath, or RIDING YOUR FUCKING MOTORCYCLE then you will ever statistically face from firearms unless you are a soldier, cop, or gangbanger.
>>14182071
>The gubmint is too big! It's only out to get us! Not to protect its citizens but to destroy them!
Even at this point, our citizens would stand no chance if the federal government got the military to try to sweep the country and reign supreme over the citizens.

The total firearms death rate in 1995 - the year before the massacre and the laws introduced - was 2.6 per 100,000 people. The total firearms murder rate that year was 0.3/100,000. From 1980-1995, Australian firearms deaths dropped from 4.9/100,000-2.6/100,000 without the implementation of firearms laws. This is a rate of decline that has remained fairly constant; Looking at 1996-2014, in which the rate has dropped from 2.6-0.86, it shows that the decline has been slower in a longer period of time since the law’s passing. Likewise, homicides declined more quickly in the 15 years prior to the firearms laws (0.8-0.3) than in the 18 years since it (0.3-0.1). This just indicates that firearms deaths haven’t been noticeably affected by the legislation

>what is the atf, the largest illegal arms supplier

yeah, thats bullshit.
Most vets are pro-2a and more then willing to start shit with our government if need be. Most active duty are unwilling to follow orders that would have them attack US citizens within the homeland. I'm too fucking tired to look it up but the pentagon has actually done readiness studies on the possibility of deploying troops within the US and they were not pleased by the study's answers.

Whats your town's population? Do you engage in illegal activities sponsored by criminal syndicates?
>>14182141
1) If you care so much about life and safety and are so concerned about being the victim of violence then why would you rely on the state to secure your safety when federal courts of ruled that law-enforcement, that almost always gets there after the fact, is under no legal obligation to secure your safety?
>>14182141
>>life and safety isn't a right
Safety is not a right. The ability to defend yourself is. Your safety is YOUR responsibility, not the governments.
Life is a right, thus it cannot be infringed by the government. Meaning the government cannot just come and take your life. But life is not and cannot be guaranteed by the government either. The right to life does not mean the government makes a magic safety bubble around you making sure no harm ever comes to you.
Stop being dumb.

What would our government have to benefit from waging a war on its people? More respectful citizens?
I'm not even saying we should ban guns or anything. I just don't believe we need a right to own guns to defend ourselves from the government.
