Living in a shitty part of town. Parent's shed was broken into when I was young, so I've never had a bike.

My old man's always had motorbikes though, he's recently retired so I'd love to be able to go on a bike journey with him some time. His last 3 bikes have been a Yamaha Fazer 600, Triumph Sprint and a BMW something. He's got a new Yamaha now, not too sure what model though.

those look pretty good actually, I should start saving my pennies

there's also these, but I'm not sure how well the work
https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/icon-cloverleaf-knee-sliders

I ride a KLR and pretty much meet the stereotype.

My choke cable seized, where it would not turn off with the knob. So naturally I cut it off about 4 inches from the carb. Cable was corroded pretty bad and pinched in one spot. This shit has caused me serious problems on the road sometimes because it would stick open and run inoperably rich and kill the engine even at highway speeds.

So I got an elbow, like a metal tube thats connected but loose at the base, and a jagged cable end.

I want to loop the end and crimp it so I have a little pull hoop, and fit a rubber gasket in the elbow and jb weld the elbow to the carb body. So I'd have to pull the cable and hold it to use the choke.

Any reason why not to do this?

I can't imagine those being comfortable and having part of leathers or having leathers for the safety is so worth the extra $80 it's not funny.

That's technically half of a two piece suit so if you decide to do track days in the future or whatever you can get full leather coverage and get on track pretty quick.

Also, it depends if you care about those sorts of things as well but most other motorcyclists with a bit of experience are gonna laugh when they see those things strapped onto your legs.

>>16871908
The only study I've seen suggests you are a little more likely to sustain an impact to the jacket than pants. More importantly your upper body has more important organs. Like your helmet is probably the piece of equipment that is the least likely to be used in any given crash (mind you more likely than not still) but it's still the most important because it's directly protecting one of the two most important parts of your body.

I know leathers are way better and worth the extra money, but I wouldn't be wearing them on a daily basis like commuting to work, where these would be good to pop on over my work pants, and at least have something, but they're not going to be a replacement for real leathers.

>>16871947

Califags please stay home.

>>16871992
I suppose I'm thinking about sliding and not impacting things, in which case a back protector and the specific armor becomes your most important safety feature anyway, Leather won't stop crush injuries.

For the most part when you slide down the tarmac almost all your weight is gonna be on your bum or thighs while barely any is on your torso, that's why I brought up the example of lowsiding and not hitting a car or highsiding, and why I'd rather wear a textile jacket and leather pants than the opposite.

>>16872002
well that's always the best option.

>>16872030
if you're just after slide protection, something for the knees is not the best option, you generally slide on the bum or thigh, if you know you won't wear leathers, get textile overpants you can take off and just already have your work pants, or get good kevlar jeans if you don't want to have to change at all.

You have two parties which are the same and think you are a democratic country, you behave as if someone who votes for the other party was an enemy when you're basically voting the same shit.
You think being an open person means you're weak, a "liberal" or a "commie". You flip your shit on bullshit, void "rights" and don't demand basic things from your country, which at that point doesn't have any reason to exist in the first place.

You're grotesque to us. So close yet so distant.

>>16871992
the upper body hosts more vital organs, but it's important to keep in mind that the lower body is more likely to suffer crush injuries during a motorcycle accident as you tend to slide on your ass across the pavement, and hitting any substantial object at speed can easily result in a broken pelvis or a broken femur if your foot hits the ground wrong. lower body injuries can be fatal due to the high blood flow to the bones, each femur flows ~700cc of blood per hour and the pelvis flows ~1500cc per hour, most adults only have ~5L of blood, so do the math

whats the bike in the foreground a honda vf500?

>>16872058
Kind of. I have leather/textile hybrid overpants but they're bulky as fuck, weigh a ton, and the knee armour means they don't fold for shit so they're not super easy to store, and they're still not as easy to get on and off as I'd like. Fine if you have your own office, terrible if you're riding to a public place. Not sure how plain textile would compare.

at least tell me you got rid of the mirrors

>>16872422
skinny jeans are super comfy bruh. They typically have like 2% spandex woven in which helps them stretch to allow movement. Also they're not baggy which allows better leg movement, and they don't scrunch up behind the knees as much.

>>16872431
i guess if you have no nuts then it might not be so bad

>>16872422
Skinnys are the master race of jeans, but im more concerned about a liner causing circulation in my legs to get cut off cause my jeans are pretty thick denim as is.

>>16872430
I have not, I don't like how bar end mirrors make the bars wider, lane splitting/filtering etc, and you have to have mirrors for the bike to be road legal.

did my unrestricted licence test on one of those. SO much backlash when you lift off. Such a load clunk through the drivetrain.

But not a bad bike otherwise

>>16872511
I rode dirt up till I needed a road bike. Gave me some bad habits like putting a foot out at low speeds and whatnot

>>16872564
That's what my fz6 is like. From no throttle to a little bit, it's really sensitive. Like the smallest movement has a decent amount of response

No it was entirely my fault
Also I had the bike since July of last year, so I'd say his chances for the first month aren't too bad

>>16872511
I wish I had ridden as a kid, I asked for a dirtbike every year from the time I was 9 until I was like 17 as the only thing I wanted for my birthday and Christmas
Never got one though until I had money to buy a motorcycle myself :c

>>16872566

I was that overconfident kid that outgrew bikes quickly and crashed a lot. I very quickly learned my lesson on the street. Incidentally a wr250/450r is probably my next bike. Can't take the bush out of the kid.

>>16872597
My parents never wanted me on a bike because my dad wrapped himself around a tree when he was 16 and broke his legs
They were just worried, but it happened anyways. Just wish I learned younger

>>16872625
The one with the hole in my leg.

>>16872619
My dad has ridden since he was 12, my mom has been on the pillion with him since they were 19. They never wanted me to get a bike, but after I turned 18 and just bought one, they couldn't really argue against it.

>>16872610
My dad started me on a YZ50 when I was 6 and I crashed it a lot so I was scared of it. Then he got me a KLX110 when I was 11 or so and I couldn't flat foot it, which caused me to crash a couple times, so I was fucking terrified of crashing at that point. When I got comfortable with the 110 he had me ride his KDX200 which I couldn't kick start, put on the stand or touch on either side, I had to ride up to a bucket to come to a stop.

Doesn't help that he never told me about riding gear, only ever had a helmet.

>>16872644
>he had a helmet

>>16872644
I started on a peewee 80 then a xr100 I literally rode to death. No one ever taught me about gear either. I had a helmet, goggles and gloves and just wore hightops and jeans. I hit trees, barbed wire fences, rocks and other bikes but it wasn't till I saw someone with actual gear when I was like "hold on, that seems important" nowadays I'm poor so it's the squid life

>>16872539
Shame it's slower than the cb600f Hornet.
Shame the Hornet costs so bloody much because it's in a lower insurance bracket here in Ontario, and it's as fast as most modern 750s.

>>16872676
I rode in Nike Shox, gym shorts, a T shirt and a helmet, that's it.
I actually ripped one of my Nikes in half trying to kick start my brother's CR85 at the bottom of a mud pit once. I fucking hated his bike.

>>16872566
Yeah the sticking a leg out for turns haunted me for months when I got ny first street bike.

Just went down today. Truck blew through a stop sign without even a hint of slowing down. I was 20 feet away when he came out and just barely swerved around but highsided when I let go of the brake (probably used too much rear brake I bet)

Got a big fucking road rash on my right hip but otherwise okay, bike's instrument cluster and front fairing is fucked though

Hold me /dbt/

>>16872693
I'm probably going to be sore as fuck for the next few days, it hasn't quite hit me yet, I flew off at like 35mph, slowed down from 55 (the actual road speed limit)

>>16872699
No, the fucker kept on going. I wonder if he had any idea I was there at all even after I ate shit missing his ass end by inches. Like 5 other cars behind me stopped to help me but all said the same thing, they saw him blow right outta nowhere with a left turn, didn't see his plate

Time to get a helmet cam

>>16872711
did you at least get the witness' info to make an insurance claim?

>>16872718
Yep, full police report with like 4 people around

The witness called an ambulance on me though even though I didn't need it so I hope they won't bill me for that

Insurance will hopefully come through but my premiums probably won't be too happy

>>16872711
Yeah i fucked my left knee up when I crashed a few weeks ago, it sucked for a couple days. Just load up on ibuprofen before you go to sleep tonight and take more when you wake up

I'm pretty sure he legally wouldn't be held accountable anyway since you didn't actually make contact. You crashing yourself is considered your own fault.

Not if he ran a stop sign and you have witnesses as proof

Got the fairings out for paint, he says he can match it but I've got no ETA, you know how paint guys are, that's really all that I'm waiting on, got a really good idea for signals.

Hey /dbt/, long time lurker/poster here. I haven't ridden a bike since November and it along with other life circumstances has made me extremely depressed.

I know that feel. It's why I ended up buying the Radian. Close enough, but older. It's a good bike, and in many ways it's similar to your FZ6. Except for it being water cooled and fuel injected. Shame I can't borrow your pipes for a 4 into 1 conversion. I have to find an 86-90 FZ6 to rob the pipes from it.
But even then, the 4 into 2 still sounds nice. And if I can find old exhausts from Pops Yoshimura, I could have a really rad contemporary mod.
I'm debating which one to do. FZ pipes, or stock pipes with the Yoshi cans.

>>16872932
Mine is a 4-2-1 set up. I'm trying to figure out a good sounding way to make it louder without breaking the bank. This thing is a sewing machine when it comes to noise.

The power is great though. I keep finding myself well North of 95mph without even trying.

hi dbt, guy selling this for 250

ill just copy and paste what he says basically i need advice, and a rough estimate on how much it would cost if i had a motorcycle repair shop fix it up and make it street legal (i do not have the money for tools nor do i even have a garage)

77 PE250 PROJECT. NOT RUNNING

bought as a project but have no time and running out of space.

Exhaust and carb are off in bags
Kickstart needs a bolt, it's off right now but I can put it on to prove it turns over

It's complete as far as I know other then lights and gauges

I'm not making any money I just want to get my money out of it.
So first $250 takes it.

>>16873335
>buy a $250 dirt bike from the 70's and take it to a shop to get fixed

Nigger that's fucking retarded. It's a two stroke from 77, it's the simplest shit ever, buy 4 tools, get a new reed valve, clean the carb and bolt the kicker back on in your fucking living room and it'll run just fine.

Literally the perfect thing to learn on.
Offer him $150, take $200

>>16873375
interesting, can you help me out on how i could convince him giving it to me for less im kinda autistic socially

Show me some comfy bike youtube vids.

Something like motogeo/gosutto/etc

>go look at it
>bring someone who is mechanically inclined if you can to verify that all the parts are there
>spend like 2 minutes looking it over and making sure all the parts are there
>ask him a couple basic questions about it, why isn't it running, how long has it been sitting, when it last ran, he might not know dick about it at all
>ask "will you take $150 for it?"
>he'll say "nah that's too little, I'll do $200" or "nope, $250 firm" in which case he's a dick
>say "lets meet in the middle at $175" or "$200 is the most I can do"

It may not be wise to negotiate until you see the bike.

When in person ask him something like, "what would you say to 150?"

He will likey counter with less than asking price, you can attempt to negotiate from there or take his counter offer.

No, you aren't or you would have one but you are too lazy and stupid to go through the hoops to get one.

Real bikers solve problems. You aren't solving, just whinging like the loathesome little cunt you are.

Fly to Euroland yourself. Buy Aprilia. Take it apart or pay the nice man at the dealer. Ship parts to your CONUS address separately as used parts.

Now you can buy that stupid feeble little loserbike.

Did you use a JIS screwdriver?

One way to loosen some is to tap it a couple times using a hammer and punch. That can also slightly swage the head into usability sometimes. If you can pinch the head with a small visegrip that's another way.

A hand impact driver forces the bit into the screw and can work very well with those, though you'll likely be limited to Phillips bits. #2 Phillips usually fits.
