Is there any point in trying to force myself to keep squeezing the front brake harder when the back tire is already in the air aside from looking cool?

Actually I'm only assuming it even is because of the slamming sound when the bike settles. Plus now that I think about it there's probably a pretty good chance it's because I'm being a shitcunt and stiffening my arms.

>Is there any point in trying to force myself to keep squeezing the front brake harder when the back tire is already in the air aside from looking cool?
if you want to do a frontflip then sure

>>16927646
I am probably like 85deg from that being a problem. I doubt my bike even has enough front brake to frontflip unless you go out of your way to fuck up everything.

Need some help with a noise coming from my bike. When my bike reaches about 1/2 tank it starts to make a ticking sound which gets louder as the emptier the tank gets and then dissappears when its full again. any idea what it might be? It can get pretty loud once it is 1/4 full and it is making me worried

>>16927847
im willing to bet money that the sound is 100% from the fuel pump.

>>16927847
Probably just the fuel pump. Needs to work harder as there's less in the tank because gravity isn't pushing it through the lines as much. Wouldn't worry about it. My FZ6 would make a whirring you could hear over the engine when it was lowish on fuel.

>That's not a cafe race, this is a cafe racer

No, that's a sport bike. Cafe racer has a specific meaning, being the classic performance modification of (now vintage) British motorcycles.

A Triumph Thruxton is a modern factory cafe styled motorcycle. Daytona in pic is their modern descendant but not cafe.

Cafe racers are the ancestors of all sport bikes. They are how you got a sporting machine before they were factory offerings.

For my first bike+gear I had £3k to spend.

£2k went on the bike, £1k went on shoei helmet and full race leathers and boots. Got Shoei/Dainese/Alpinestars at 60% retail price in the sales. Shit has outlasted the bike, and the helmet saved me in an accident. Buy cheap shit if you want but a $140 helmet will do nothing for you in a high speed off, compared to a shoei/arai

I'm going to disagree with you. As long as the minimum requirements are met, the difference between a nice helmet and a cheap one are fit, quality of lining materials, engineering going into the aerodynamics and airflow, and name brand. Plastic and foam are still plastic and foam.

If you see going fast enough to be in a "high speed off" odds are if your head hits something, you'll be dead or a vegetable anyway

I don't know what cbt is and I did pay for msf. I think I payed like 100 or 200 bucks or something I don't remember. And I don't really care they taught me the very basics of motorcycling (which I didn't know at the time) and they let me use one of their best up bikes to practice on and best part of all they took care of the licensing portion. I got a temp paper license that day and a week later got a plastic id in the mail. Didn't have to go sit in the shitty rmv for 7 hours that alone was worth the cost.

>>16928897
I'm not going to have this bike for much longer, 2 months at most.

But the mechanic told me the sprockets were dangerously worn so I guess I should replace it within something if I value my life.

>>16928887
Nigga did you buy your shit in aldi? What shit tier brands did you get? No reasonable CE approved armour with sufficient abrasion/impact resistance can be had for that money. If you are riding a shit tier bike, enjoy your shit tier gear. For those of use who buy a first bike with a view of going into the big leagues (1000cc+) it makes sense to spend the money first time. Not to mention the lighter weight and better fit of the premium quality gear reducing fatigue and looking better.

You realise that Sharp isn't designed to be an outright test? It is supplementary to the ECE test - the one that MotoGP amongst others adhere to. In the US that would be DOT.

Given that a number of US helmets cannot be sold in Europe whereas helmets sold in the Europe can be sold in the USA it would imply the standards are better in Europe. I am using Simpson helmets as an example. Makes no difference to me as only shoei fit my head well.

It can't hurt. Intermittent shutdown is highly likely to be electrical and easy to fix. Of course the owner didn't know shit or he/she/xir would have sorted it out.

That is true. She rides too which is good, but only a scooter.

She posed on my bike though which was neato, I'm really trying to get her to try an actual bike but she's hesitant.

>>16929695
Just tell her the bike can statisfy her sexual needs like you never could and will.

>>16929703

I make up for my lack of size by rather hammering it in.

In all seriousness though she complains how her scooter is uncomfortable, and I keep telling her how bikes with bigger wheels and wider tyres are so much more comfortable, as well as infinitely more enjoyable to ride. She'll get one some day, I think it's a case of she doesn't want to buy a bike just to see if she'll like it.

>>16929711
Switch with her for a few days, you ride the scoot and let her ride the baiku, she will see the light

>>16929711

Huh. Scooters sit rather comfy in my opinion. She never rides on the back of your bike?

>>16928306
My bike just fucking sat since December and started in two seconds. I don't think my car would have done it.

>>16929722

My bike would be perfect for her to be honest, it rides just like a 125, just a bit heavier and faster, with wider tyres, but it's just as easy.

I've ridden her scoot and it's just awful, I can understand if you live in the city but we live in the sticks so you want to cruise at about 60mph, which it tops out at. Skinny wheels are super twitchy and catch every single bump too.

When she next does her CBT she said she'll do it on a geared 125 so hopefully that'll be enough to sway her.

>>16929729
>She never rides on the back of your bike?

She does but I'm trading my bike in at the end of the year for something that really won't be ideal for a pillion. The seat on her scoot is nice, but it's just not suited to the faster country roads around here, the surface isn't great so the little wheels pick up the bumps, and they're skinny so they feel twitchy when cornering above 20mph. Would be great for city riding, all the local pizza places use the same scoot for deliveries, but it's not for 'riding'.

Are they supposed to sit tight, or is it okay if they are a little loose (I can slide my hand in at the waist, but the pants dont slide down by themselves..)

trust me you want them tight as dickskin.

Nothing worse than wind finding something to grip into.

>>16929785
thats normal since you need to be able to move your legs whilst riding the bike. if they were so tight as to be static whilst standing, you wouldnt be able to even get on your bike, much less operate controls or lean

>>16929780

I would in all honesty, it's the perfect bike for her, but she doesn't like 'sharp aggressive looking bikes'. She likes more classic looking nakeds like CB1100s etc. I'd sell her my bike on the cheap but I'm relying on what I get from it to go towards my next bike so I kinda need to get a good price, otherwise I would.

>>16929784

New rider dings here, I took a safety course and all that, trying to decide on a bike to buy. I read the links in the OP and talked to a few people. I have my eyes on pic related, Honda cbr 500r. Is 471cc okay to start out? I dropped almost a grand in safety gear so I'm definitely not looking to hurt myself. I'm asking because it seems this bike is priced decently in the used market for my area and I like the look obviously

Was my first big bike and has been great. Fast enough to have fun, not too fast that you'll scare yourself. It's not a sports bike though, it's basically a naked dressed up as one.
