Those fucking pigs are so heavy to ride. Wombatanon had to dig holes under the wheels on his AT to pick it back up. Standing helps with the rider center of gravity, from what I feel when I ride.

Couple months ago came a cross a dude riding a ktm 1290 paving the way for some of the more apprehensive dirtbike riders in a fairly technical bush ride during wet autumn season.

Some of the descents were 50 degrees over loose pine and sand with wallowed out drops full of roots. Guess you just need to be able to sack up.

I can't talk, I was just idling along on my XR the whole time while everyone else suffered.

>>17556720
Descents aren't hard, its the ascent that takes skill.

>>17556682
Sorry bud I was trolling.

>>17556733
Wrong.

Dont spill it. Even clutching it down in first is hard. The idea is again to not break traction. Trust me, I'm a namefag. Lol

Quite a few pussied out on those, too.
There were a few 100~ft hills with crossing ruts and roots near the top, but what killed most guys was the huge dig during the runup that fully compressed those that hit it too hard. Just digging around on my SD card seeing if I can find any pics, but fisheye a shit for depth perception.

Not my cam, but this was halfway down.

Honestly looks like your average trail to me and it would be much harder getting up that hill there than going down it.

>>17556764
A fair amount harder up it, not sure if clay/dirt would be worse for traction. Sand just moves out under you whereas dirt just slips.
You couldn't get up them on foot to help anyone out, the ground was too soft and steep and littered with exposed roots and punky wooden logs.
Of the 300 or so riders there that day, I reckon a good 3/4 opted for the blue (easy) flag routes over the red.

>>17556779
It is worse there is just no traction at all on the clay unless it is dry, where i live is all either sand or red clay.
and it's always that way, 90% of people i ride with can't do the hard trails around my area which is fair enough, all about having fun and all that.

So guys; I'm looking to make a long trip in the next month or two. Like, thousand miles long, probably over two days. I'm a new rider(started a couple months ago) and I'm pretty confident in my control of my bike, but I feel there's a lot I don't know about longer rides.

What considerations should I have for my first multi-day trip? I have storage space, a 3L hydration pack, self-defense considerations, emergency backup phone...

Why do bikers think that every little thing that happens on the road is a near death experience?

I've always hated sand here in NZ, but having been on my fair share of clay I'll admit that sand seems to outweigh clay in both comfort and forgiveness, even if you have to peg it in 2nd every single time.

Most of the guys I ride with either run watercooled 4ts or strung 2ts while I plod along with my 140/70 rear XR400 making new ruts, so I hear you on the having fun.

Ride a bike, see what it's like - until you show proof you own and have ridden a bike, you wont understand and you're just talking shit about the people you have claimed talk shit.

Obviously if there actually was an incident then it's would have been a near death one because if you didn't notice the only protection bikers have is in the clothes they wear.

t. special snowflake

I've had countless motorcycle owning friends over the years, and every single one, without exception, has at one point claimed that "they could have been killed" when referring to a minor road incident.

>>17556930

That's the point.
Over every minor incident, even incidents so minor an outside observer thinks they don't exist, bikers cry about "I could have been killed".

Why are bikers such pussies?

>>17556936
'Minor' is subject to individual perception.
When cagers just don't bother to look, people die. Simple as that.

If you choose to use a vehicle that is inherently harder to see, why should they be required babysit you?

"Oh whoops" isn't exactly the poster child of responsibility, is it? Maybe people shouldn't drive cars if they can't see further than their foreskin.

>>17556960

It's not about "not wanting to die".
It's about being so terrified about being hurt that they're in a constant state of hysteria.

In all fairness, the danger is known before putting a leg over the bike, but still.

I've been where you are on a lot of things. As far as I can tell, these people make a decision, conscious or subconscious, to make the situation worse. To exacerbate their own feelings until they rage out of control. Freaking out like that doesn't happen just as a simple reflexive response, it has to bounce around in the head and get worse and worse.

For me, it was realizing that people scream and throw up when they see a dead body. That really never made sense to me and still doesn't, but people do it. It's not really anything to do with bikers, but something an individual goes through.

Bullshit. Around there world there have been "look out for motorcycles" campaigns for decades.

Why should people have to babysit you because you choose to use a vehicle that is inherently harder to see, and offers zero crash safety?

>>17556965
do you understand what the term 'duty of care' means?
'cagers' aren't responsible for riders safety
'cagers' are responsible to not endanger other road users by their actions. same goes for any other vehicle

>>17556936
how can you know it was a minor road incident as you put it?

the video you posted was an overreaction and aside from passing in a no-passing area there was nothing wrong, nobody is disagreeing with this.

It's the same.
>>17556965
>Why are "le cagers" responsible for your safety?
Because everyone on the road is responsible for their actions and they could put other road users in danger with them?


This guy is a retard, right? He thinks a couple of videos of noobs complaining is definitive proof of bikers being pussies, meanwhile he choses to ignore all the cagers material.

Nigger wake up, we always make fun of retarded bikers that cry for no reason like for that snowfag video where he bitches because some boomer on a adv bike overtakes him in a corner.

>Why should people have to babysit you

Last I knew, there was a visual test before getting a license. I agree with you, anyone that is unable to see a 300kg piece of equipment going down the road should never be allowed on the road again.

>>17557001
You mean it's not your responsibility to not hit other vehicles with your car?

Are you retarded or trolling?

>>17556965
So because you drive a 5-7 seat vehicle that is larger than a motorcycle you have the right to kill motorcycle riders?
Does this also mean trucks are allowed to do the same to you because you drive a tiny car that is hard to see?

>>17557014
>Are you retarded

Clearly you are.
The point being made is that motorcycles are more difficult to see, and require more vigilance.

But why the fuck should car drivers be more vigilant because of your choice to use a more risky vehicle?

It's like a guy coming to work nude, and demanding the heat be turned up because he is cold.

>>17557027
>Are more difficult to see

Are you being serious?
How can you see a car but not a bike?
That's enough (YOU)'s from me, enjoy the rest of your afternoon or morning, as it were.

>>17557021
>the right to kill motorcycle riders

This is exactly what I've been saying!
Bikers, as you have demonstrated, have a hysterical fear of getting injured by evil "le cagers"
From talking about demanding car drivers babysit you, you immediately jump to "le cagers think they have a right to kill us!!!"

>>17557035

Are you literally going to claim that an object with maybe one fifth the frontal area of another larger object isn't more difficult to see?

>>17557027
Why the fuck should truck drivers have to be more vigilant for car drivers?

This is exactly what i am talking about, cagers as you have demonstrated, have a hysterical fear of getting injured by evil "le truck drivers"

Trucks should just be banned from the roads as they are a danger to us civil car drivers.

>>17557027
>The point being made is that motorcycles are more difficult to see, and require more vigilance.
You never said anything about that before.
Still, your point? Pedestrians are even harder to see, no one with half a brain would complain about that though.

Roads aren't made for cars only. No one forces you to drive. If you wanna drive try to not hit other vehicles.

Lmao, seems to me like you're the one behaving like a little bitch here, not bikers. Get out of here, clown.

What's the danger in putting a 150 width rear tire tire on a 180 rated bike?

>>17557189
Will probably be really unstable.

Also might rip off in a corner dunno

Riding these toys on the street is irresponsible and dangerous. People just aren't looking hard enough for stuff with such a small profile as a motorcycle. Grow up and get a car.

>>17557189
Well, for one, the wheel is probably about an inch and a half too large to even mount a 150 properly.

If you had a wheel to swap in and it fit properly, you'd have less tire on the ground when riding. Turn-in would be quicker and require less effort. Geometry might be a little fucky, but not so drastic as some would lead you to believe. Bikes designed with a 180 typically are done so because of the power they put down. If all you do is put around town and go slow like everyone on this board, you'd probably never notice.

>>17557301
Don't bother telling him about contact patch, tire carcass profile, or wheel widths. Just tell him to do it and show us.

>>17557312
Some folks prefer informed degeneracy.
The only tire size change I advocate is going from 180/55 to a 180/60.

I'm going to be moving up from a YBR 125 to an R1200R, is that crazy?

>>17557317
Why though? Have you ever ridden a 600?

>>17557323
yeah, it was alright. If its 100hp and shaft drive though it can't be that much more powerful than what I was riding on my lessons/test.

Also it looks good.

>>17557317
Every bike is essentially the same if you don't go full retard on the controls. Incremental increases as you learn.

>>17557317
It has lots of torque and it's pretty heavy, but they're not the hardest to ride as they are relaxed.
Get a R1150R (Rockster) though.

>>17556833

A charging port/battery banks and a cheap chink Bluetooth intercom are godsend. I'd also highly suggest a cramp buster/cruise control lock of some sort.

Take lots of breaks, walk around and hydrate, etc. May consider a small bottle with some spare fuel, or just fill up excessively just to be safe

Because it's objectively the better bike. Unless you want common mechanical and electrical failures, then the R1200 is better.

Enough to start a whole racing series.

The whiney 250.

Fucking partzilla.

>slow bike fast
It's not about safety, it's about enjoyment. Having to baby the throttle because if you go hard you'll do 200+ kph isn't fun.

>>17557778
>150 miles is plenty

Do you ride or do you just venture out in search of gas stations?

I'd rather have a choice between a normal amount of fuel in the frame and that plus a little extra further up. That way, the bike can be even better for benchracing when needed and infinitely more practical the rest of the time.

Also add a toggleable supercharger for when you want to burn through the extra gallons faster

>>17557764
It's almost the highest point of the bike, it actually makes a big difference.

>>17557785
with all the speed cameras anywhere my Africa twin seems too fast for commuting and two wide for lane splitting.

>>17557778
It's really not. I need it you just go from home to the cafe I'm sure you'll be fine

>>17557790
>have your usual four gallons in the frame
>using the extra four gallons worth of space up top is now optional unless you want the extended range
>if you used the extra space, the weight distribution would be identical a normal bike with a heavier frame

Yeah, that would make a big difference. It would make the bike better.

>>17557789
>in search of gas stations

150 miles at legal speeds will take over 2 hours in a straight line on the interstate. how many gas stations will you pass? 40?

>>17557778
>150 miles
I get 100 from my 3 gallon tank.
Maybe 120 if I go easy.
If I ever do a long ride, I'm going to have to buy a jerry can.
Fucking miss my enduro with it's almost 10 gallon tank. Couldn't go fast, but I could go far.

I've recently gotten into motorcycles, and I was wondering what would be a good first bike for someone who hasn't done any of this before?

>>17557805
ninja 300.

>>17557802
40? What.
You ever driven in the middle of the country, there are plenty of stretches that'll make you question if you have the range.

>>17557805
fz07

So, how often does /dbt/ run from the cops?

Do you run because the ticket you'd get otherwise would fuck you? Or have you ever just ran because you can get away?

>>17557778
My bike holds almost 15liters
It does 5l/100km (actually lower, but for the sake of the argument)
SEM is some 300km away
This means i could do the entire sem on 3 tanks and have some to spare

>>17557805
Any small/midsize naked or standard
650s are more easy than 600s because 600 is the race replica class
800 is for touring

>>17558109
I did my test on a XJ6, 76bhp.

R1200 has a shaft drive, which takes away 20% of the power, so in reality its got 88bhp, and its a little heavier than the XJ6, so its not exactly a huge step up as the numbers may suggest.

>>17558133
Only does it have all the power from idle and doesn't it kill 20% of the power

Also have fun regretting the 1200 after the 20th failure while the R1150s have way less problems.

>>17558144
and your evidence is?

I got the 1200 anyway because it comes with satnav, abs, heated grips and full luggage for a really good deal.

Dealer stories, internet and personal experience.
But don't trust someone who has had an 1150 for 150k km and a 1200 for 40k km

'82 CM250C and '81 GL500 Silverwing I picked up this weekend. Going from 17 to 46 HP.
Just got her titled and insured, took her out the first time and managed to a) scream fuck,fuck,fuck,fuck the first time I cracked the throttle on an on-ramp, b) chirp the rear wheel and nearly go down while downshifting to pull over for an ambulance, c) push her well past redline while not paying attention on a another on-ramp, d) lock up the front and nearly drop her again on some sand in a parking lot. It was glorious.

What should I do to make the motorcycle run again? I'm planning on making it run for a few minutes, warm it up and replace the oil, although I don't have an oil filter. Is too bad idea to reuse the filter currently there?

Tank seems to have rusted inside too :(

>>17558414
Oh no, aprilia is the same

Shivers either spin a bearing and lunch the engine while in warranty or they don't.

Okay, so... what's going on?

Bike is okay while riding, but starts to get really hot when idling. Second fan kicks in to cool it down again and the cycle continues until I start to ride.

>>17558546

it's true. scooters are to motorcycles as leasing self parking crossovers is to owning cars. it's not "smart", it just shows that you lack ability and the passion needed to desire and develop it. it shows that you just don't care. there's nothing smart about not caring, and there's nothing stupid about caring.

if there is anything to be agnostic about, it's this.

scooterfags are not the ubermensch
i just hope to god they have some other interests to fill that void in their lives left by a lack of a real motorcycle

inb4 some colossal faggot says saving on gas money is objectively better. you get what you pay for. if the extra gas brings you happiness then buy the fucking dinosaur juice.

>>17558882
it's funner

also maxi scooters that can carry more shit at higher speeds are significantly fatter than motorcycles that make a similar amount of power.

>tfw bike still not running after weeks of fucking around with plates, cylinders, fluid, seals.
I've reassembled the plates, basket, and springs three times.
I've rebuilt both master and slave cyls, and taken apart and reinstalled three times.
I've bled through easily two gallons of brake fluid with both mightyvac, and reverse flow bullshit, and clutch still will not fully disengage.

Yeah shipping takes forever and is pricey. But if you can get it cheaper including the shipping prices, go ahead.

>>17558996
What do you mean it will not go into second?
From neutral or 1st?
Does it grind or is the shifter stiff?

does it go into 2nd with engine off?

>>17559008
Tried that, just fluid.
>>17559018
If its running in N, and i shift to first its a pretty hard push on the lever. And the clutch starts slipping with the bike trying to move forwards quite a bit. I have to hold the brake.
If i try to go from 1st or N to 2nd, it only goes in if i put my damn weight on the lever. Clutch still slips, closer to stalling but will still run.

It sounds like air in the lines to me, but i cant get the shit out.

>>17559034

Hey /dbt/ I've got an FZ-07 and I love it, but I think I want something a little larger. Something more useful for highway cruising and going on the occasional trip, but also commuting every day as a primary means of transportation. The FZ-07 is just a bit small for me at six feet tall and about 210 lbs. It's a fun torquey bike and I enjoy the high fuel economy, but I feel pretty cramped on it after an hour or two. My butt gets angry with me after a long ride.

What are some bikes you recommend looking at?

I've always liked American muscle cars, so despite Harleys being shit due to their lack of performance and probably the worst customer base after Apple, I actually kind of like them. The Fat Bob looks sexy as hell in my eyes.

they don't have 120 years of being coddled and treated like pets by rich liberals to make them into children. They also don't have their bad criminal behavior glorified by the media as some pseudo 20th century wild west.

>>17559490
That's a good looking bike. What exactly is the appeal of naked bikes though? Why would you opt to not have a windshield at all? Seems like having no windshield would make riding at interstate speeds a pain in the ass. Wouldn't having 80 MPH winds hitting your head and chest get a bit old after not much time at all?

>>17559490
Looks like it has the same shitty mirrors as my FZ-07. Jesus the mirrors are so fucking bad on my bike, all I see are my shoulders.

I wish there were a good option to replace the mirrors with bar-end mirrors for cheap.

>>17559586
Any pictures?

Yeah I'd never get a Sportster, that just doesn't make any sense. They're small and not very powerful at all. I rode a 1200 Custom and it was very meh.

The Fat Bob is what interests me the most in the H-D lineup, or maybe the Low Rider S. The only lines that interest me at all are Dyna and Softail.

>no one-sided swingarm

nah

>>17559665
I'll give you the single sided swing-arm, but the plate holder and seat cowl are easier to fix than ugly headlight, fairings and non-removable passenger pegs.

If I had stole it, I'd keep it as like a little pit bike for my kids.

It was a legit question. For example, if you have to get from Oregon to California in just one day, wouldn't a windshield be nice? Without a windshield I'd imagine it'd get a bit tiring. Don't windshields also offer improved aero for max speed?

I just can't think of a reason to not have a windshield on a bike.

>>17559678
It does help with exhaustion, but your cruising speeds aren't hurt that bad by not having fairings.

>>17559678
1) the sensation of speed is greater
2) you feel freer

>>17559692
So you'd want to ship your bike down when you could just ride it?

>>17559699
3) you don't ride on the interstate because you're not a fucking harley cruising faggot

>>17559702
no I'd fly, take care of my shit and fly back that evening because I'm not a poorfag and my bike is for the twisties not iron butting it from one shitty state to the shitty part of another

>>17559706
Seriously? If I didn't ride the interstate I'd have to ride on Hwy 99 which is one lane in each direction and there's ALWAYS farm equipment going like 35 MPH with oncoming traffic so you can't pass. Other than Interstate 5 the only road that goes north-south is Hwy 99 which is slow as fuck.

You still think I should avoid the interstate?

>>17559716
I'm moving actually, so flying doesn't make any sense.

Question still stands though. If a windshield offers superior comfort, performance, and fuel economy, without even adding much weight at all, then why avoid a windshield?

>>17558643
Google " reverse electrolysis " You can do it in the tank after you take it off the bike. Just need a battery charger ( automotive type ) and a wood stick a little sheet metal taped to the stick and some baking powder. It'll take a couple of days but it'll be spotless when it's done. Throw a couple of handfulls of old bolts or BBs in with half a can of WD 40 and shake the shit out of it, pour it all out, rinse with a cup of gas a few times ( shaking it ) and you should be good to go.

I think you should move or buy a fucking car. It's like you're whining about no twisties but you live in central kansas. Central kali is absolute garbage, idk why you would even live there desu.
