It's a radio telescope from probably the 40s so yeah super low freq I'd guess.
salvage title y/n?
>>28552
Do you plan on riding it on the road? Then no. Trackbike yes.

I usually work with EHF. But to be honest, I'm just a glorified IT. Really need to start learning more about satcom for civvie life.
>>28541
How long do the tires last on the scout?
Who else went for a fun ride today?
I rode away from the city, and it was great! outside of the cities which are FILTHY the country side in Korea is spectacular, even in early spring!

I don't understand why "trackbike" is such a common concept in bike forums
I guess people who stay interested in bikes long term generally have a decent amount of money and the idea of owning/storing/maintaining a bike that has no purpose but fun is normal for them? Seems odd to me. Maybe I'm just poor, or utilitarian.
>>28598
u kno theres a dbt discord anon

Those are cool. Consider fz, or bandit in a pinch

The FZ being sold here.. the dude wants 4k. No FZ is worth 4K unless brand spanking new. Sell market sucks ass.
>>28598
the /o/ bike discord is always shitty when Jimmy is on, if he doesn't like you or disagrees with somebody he spams white-space to make the whole chat almost unusable. I'm not sure he's noticed but as soon as he starts posting, almost everybody else stops posting until he leaves
>>28608i'm interested; i feel like my home server is getting a little tired of me thinking out loud about bikes
odds: I buy this and put a big WAT and DBT sticker on it.
Evens: I don't.
>>28586
damn you're retarded then, look up toni bou and get your brain bubble blowed up
>>28604
one track day is all it requires to understand why people have track bikes.
For example: you don't scrape kickstands on track bikes because they don't have them.
Dominoes says my driver Melissa is on her way.
Should I ask her if she want's to go for a night ride with me.
Bitches love bikes.
>>28552
salvage title doesn't mean anything really, other than an insurance claim was filed for it. depends what the damage is/was and how it was repaired.
but generally speaking, it matters more for resale than anything else. Just make sure the frame is straight and there aren't any jank repairs
>>28351
Meh, ordered a pair before they sold out.
>>28620
For absolute fuck sake.

I'm drunk as hell. menat to post:
I'm looking at DR's, but no 650's near me right now.
>>28641
Does that bike come with the cat?
>>28604
Because of the realities of track riding if you do it more than once or twice a dedicated bike is a good idea, they generally live rough lives and the shit that makes a bike street legal (lights, turn signals, etc) get wrecked the hardest.
Plus it's a good excuse to go and buy that wrecked R1 with a salvage title on CL and turn it into a fire breathing monster for $10k.

Times like these I miss my old bike.. but it's somewhere in Ohio..
>>28533
what bike is this?
>>28604
A ratty track bike is like $2000, that is shit all compared to what you will spend on everything else involved with doing regular track days.
But really "track bike" is an excuse to justify a bike you don't need in the same way as "weekend car" or "towing truck" or whatever. Most of those people probably barely track ride if at all.

I was gonna say I don't think Army deals much with EHF. I know I didn't while I was in. I put in a for a couple jobs in the Colorado Springs area that dealt with AEHF but they wanted direct experience.
>>28660
did you just seriously post a link to the server as it appears in your browser and not an invite link
please tell me you were being intentionally retarded.

Fucking the Trojan system... Fuck that piece of shit that never works... takes 2 hours for the satellites to "align" according to the 35T's.. Made FTX week absolute shit.
>>28710
Yeah, that's where I'm at, working with 1st Space.
But it seems army is delving into EHF more and more.
>>28721
I'm really drunk, don't mind thhe grammer. I meant
>fuck the trojan system
>>28735
You good dude.
My brain auto corrected it and read it as fuck the trojan anyway.
But I'm drunk as well.

It isn't. When I got out it was concentrated more at computers than satellites.

My cat..
Will Indian ever make a sportbike or a standard? Or will they be stuck in the cruiser rut forever?
They have a pretty sick flat-track bike that would be awesome to see a street version of.
>>28769
Are the newer WGS birds EHF? I haven't dealt with them much since I got out except supporting the launches of the last couple
>>28813
The owner already talked about future endeavors like that. So most likely yes.
I'd like a cute little standard for around town
>>28836
Yes.
I do believe so.
I'm a good bit drunk so alot of my sat info isn't so fresh right now.
>>28965
no worries, doesn't matter too much to me, I'm stuck in UHF and SHF for the most part for the forseeable future.
>>28519
So why didn't you buy the good Indian?
Is it worth getting a wr450f and converting it to a supermoto or will i have to do dirt bike levels maintenance on it, any one own one? what did you guys think, for reference i've got a DR650 at the moment, should i just supermoto that instead?
>>28993
Being part of the launches sounds cool as fuck tho.
I need to get my license already so I can take cools pics of my bike.
>>29010
>>29006
Because I wanted a big Cadillac like bike for road trips.
Why do you care what others spend their money on?
>>29010
>will i have to do dirt bike levels maintenance on it
Yes.
The recomended maintenence schedule can be relaxed if youre not beating on it, but you's still looking at oil changes every thousand miles or so and valve checks ever 2000 or so.
Depends on what you're doing with it. if it's going to be a cart track toy, go for it.
If you're going to commute on it and ride any significant distance, Id say look at something else.
>DR650 supermoto
will be pretty shit desu. Look at the DRZ400SM or WR250X if you want good maintenence intervals on a supermoto.
>>29029
Just a question you sperg.
Someone's awfully defensive about their bike choice.
Buyers remorse?
>>29010
>will i have to do dirt bike levels maintenance on it
It's a dirt bike, what do you think.
Lowest maintenance legit fun sumo I can thing of is XRR but please don't ruin an XRR like that.
>>29013
It is kinda cool to be a part of it but really it's just another user support operationally.
>>29042
Lol. No sperg here. Nothing to be defensive about. I love it for what it is.
None off my riding buddies who I've let ride it have any complaints either.
>buyers remorse
Pffft. I've spent way more money on much dumber shit. That's half the fun of a hobby
>>29051
I still wouldn't call an XRR "low maintenance".
DRZ400SM or WR250X are the obvious choices if looking for a streetable supermoto with good maintenence intervals.
XR650R is the bike to get if you want something you could consider quick, but you're paying for it with more maintenance. You will likely need to convert it unless you find one already done.
If you need something lighter and quicker then you start looking at 5xx EXC's and converting them. Or WR450F's if you cang et them street legal in your area. Here's where you really start eating it on maintenence.
If you want something with a lot of power the 690/701 is where its at but you pay for it with pigfat weight and KTM tier reliability.
>>29089
I agree, but it's better maintenance wise than the WR450. Albeit heavier and more "outdated"
Lads, I got a problem with my CBR F3 - it doesn't want to idle without the chocke, doesn't matter if the engine has warmed up or not.
>inb4 Honda a shit
>>29129
clogged fuel filter.
>>29129
plug the exhaust with a banana and see if it's backpressure issues
>>29127
I have a sumo WR250R and am thinking of picking up an XRR to swap between sumo and trail riding.
Keep the WRR for commuting/general fuckery and take the XRR to the track for dank willys
>>29152
an XRR setup like pic related gives me the big penis.
If you had a restricted bike in the UK -- llike a 50kw bike that was lowered to 35 -- would anyone check if it was actually restricted?
>>29206
Probably. Those sad fucks can't even have a butter knife without written permission from the queen
>>29219
Oh how the mighty have fallen.
>>29162
cool drz
>>29239
Those sad fucks haven't been mighty since ohhh..lets say 1776
>>29254
You mean 1812 you uneducated fuck?
>>29263
At least you tried
>>29300
American revolutionary war was a small skirmish to the brits and they hardly committed any resources. Which is why the colonies won with French help.
1812 was an actual war were the brits were fighting all out war on all sides with Napoleon and with the Americans. And they got btfo.
At least you tried.
>>29300
How cute. The American thinks the year hit country became a country is some sort of huge milestone for any country other than his own.
>>29311
>country that becomes the most powerful force in the world is born
>not relevant anywhere else
good one yuropoor
>>29315
America wasn't relevant to the rest of the world until almost halfway through the 20th centruy.
No one cares about your countries birthday fag, deal with it.
>>29318
Country's*
>>29318
How's islam treating you, friend?
>>29318
Yet you're here, speaking english, on an american website.
Why don't you deal with being irrelevant from your countries inception
Let's address the fact the brits were so pisdy about losing to a colony of dirt farmer they literally changed the way they spoke so they could try and sound "better"
>shit I can't make my /pol/ shitposts in /vint/ anymore, I better take them to dbt
What is wrong with you people
>>29332
The only reason english is the lingua franca is because of america, you should really learn your history tho
>>29333
Then lets address the fact that the americans were so desperate to be seen as sophisticated and relevant they literally invented their own accent so they could pretend to be like the brits.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Atlantic_accent
>>29338
>The only reason english is the lingua franca is because of america
British Empire spread English around the globe and standarized it in trade long before the US was even a country.
Try again.

Stay mad, it's ok. Don't forget to turn in your plastic spoons though. Don't want the bobbies to come a knockin

And post that sexual scout picture.
>>29383
>sero that shit
>implying you can check my zero from that picture.
There is no rear sight and it is paralax free, meaning the red dots location depends on the cameras position to correct for paralax. There is literally no way you could know if my sight is zero'd or not.
This is how I know you are a nogunz
>>29384
just for u bby
>>29385
Have you tried not having a cod "sero" red dot :^)
>>29383

Here's a pic through the rear sight, if you actually want to see my zero.
>>29385
Best looking one is the new red white and blue.
FUCKING SEXUAL

I have cowitnessed folding irons and a red dot on a quick release.

The scout 60 in white is adorable.
My gf wants one
>>29398
the white is pretty legit.
All of the simpler colors on the 60 look good. I also like the black engine/frame of the 60
>>29404
It's not as pretty as the chief, but still good looking lil bikes.
I don't like tyke hate I g on the touring models, but the roadmaster in blue diamond is gorgeous.
Now all they need is a fix fairing and ill be happy
