Describe what it's like to ride a motorcycle.

Be verbose.

good fun

>>13824381
you sit on it

hang on to the front

twist some grips and pull some levers

or you hurt yourself badly when you fall off

>>13824381
fast

>>13824381
Better than having a girlfriend. 32 times more likely to die in an accident. More adrenaline than injecting yourself with 5 epi-pens at once. and convenient and fun.

I went out for a ride, and holy shit it's getting cold, the sun is trolling me into thinking it's somewhat warm, but after you get on highway, it's really start to show how cold wind can get.

The first time I did outside of the training class I was terrified. Terrified of crashing, terrified of stalling out, terrified of looking dumb. When I started to actually ride around town on my new bike, I began to feel exhilaration every time I twisted the throttle. It may have just been an old Sportster, but the speed on two wheels was intense for someone who'd only driven pick up trucks and small sedans. The sound of the exhaust, the wind, the vibration of the engine, all of these things combined to make a wholly new experience for me. Even after I wrecked my bike, I still needed to be on a motorcycle. I was hooked. I've been riding since 2012, and I've ridden about 35,000 miles since then. My motorcycle is my life, and getting in any car or truck now feels claustrophobic and confining. I still have as much fun on my Victory as I did my first two Harleys, probably more. Jamming that throttle open on a lonely Farm to Market road at midnight is the only true joy I have on a weekday as I get off of work. It's happy on two wheels, and without a motorcycle, I probably would have killed myself by now.

Anyone own a small KTM?

>>13824381
You know that liberating feel when you open the windows in a car and actually hear the road , feel the wind and smell the exterior ?
Multiply that by 1000 and you have what it's like to ride a motorcycle ; freedom , fun and adrenaline

>>13824443
Why are those tires backwards?

Do you scrape the body if you enter a corner trailbraking? kek

According to my driving instructor , pretty bad , but i guess noob riders mistreating it all day can't be good

>>13824505

If you don't like to know how fast you're going then they're great.

Alternatively you could just set it on fire yourself the minute you get it to save yourself getting attached to it.

Don't get me wrong I think they're sexy, but I'm glad I didn't get a Duke 125 and went for a jap bike instead.

>>13824500
how does projecting have anything to do with this? just because you read it on 4chan doesnt mean youre a cool kid if you randomly use it, you know

>>13824381
Well I ride an rs125 so it's pretty fucking awful to be honest lad.
It tops out at like 108 with wobbles.
I get beat by 1200 Harley sportsters if I'm anywhere except a track.
Even in the twisties I get smashed on by a fat couple riding 2 up on a goldwing.
Fuckin cruisers are so gay

>>13824381
You're in another world, completly disconnected from your daily thoughts and feelings. You fully pay attention to the road, twist the throttle, feel the adrenaline. You go places you'd never go, meet people you'd have never met. There is only you, your motorcycle and death riding with you. Your goal? Outrun death and enjoy life to its fullest.

tl;dr
holy fuck shit's fast

>>13824381
In the dry and warm you open her up and everything but what's directly in front of you disappears. You see a corner and judge the correct speed for it, start leaning over like a fighter pilot, look down and see tarmac running below you at speed, so close, so real, you could touch it if you wanted to.
As you reach the apex you start opening the throttle again and feel the front end go light like a porsche, while praying the rear doesn't slide out, and if everything goes right, you become the hand of someone pulling a hook punch.

In the wet dark and cold you fight for your survival as the bike never settles down. You want to hold on tightly but that only makes everything worse. You try to open the throttle just slightly but this causes the rear to break traction. Go straight and the revs rise but you don't go any faster and you chop the throttle realising your back end just became nothing but a pendulum, waiting to throw you off.
You go around a corner nowhere near the speed limit, lean over just slightly but the bike feels like it's about to spin out, but it doesn't. Your bike naturally oversteer because of the slip angles but feels like you're pulling a dagumi.
Hit any imperfection in the road and get shot with adrenaline in 0.2 seconds as both ends lose traction and regain it almost immediately.

All jokes aside, be careful m8, shit just almost happened to me, I'm riding and going to overtake in the right lane, see the guy start to swerve and put his left blinker and start to pull my way, all because someone pulled over the shoulder...

>>13824600
Might as well join me on my journey friend, it's a magical adventure everytime I go for a ride. I feel like I'm the king of the world, being the fastest on the road. I don't see others as humans anymore, just obstacles to avoid and going as fast as I can. Everytime I go fast I feel like I'm outrunning my soul, completly disconnected from my mind. I become one with the motorcycle. I become the motorcycle.

Oh come the fuck on. I actively tried not to go full retard with ten dolla words but it's pretty hard when that's literally what riding a bike is like.

>>13824533
I kind of know that feel.
My buddy let me ride his rs125.
I got beat by a fucking riced out honda civic
I had him off the line but the lead didn't last long.
Glad I didn't buy thay piece of shit.

>>13824549
umh i dd my bike all year round and its no where near as scary, perhaps you have a shitty bike / tires / both?

>>13824381
Just a fun form of transportation.
The most dangerous part of riding is all the other drivers.
I kind of act snobby when I ride.
Just imagine absolutely everyone else on the road as a fucking retard that is either trying to kill you or doesn't know how to drive.
I don't even trust turn signals most of the time, but it depends on context.

>>13824646
Probably the tires, IRC road winner especially if they're underinflated. Or might have been the extreme tiredness after spending 6 hours nonstop at uni and barely seeing a thing because I was a retard and opened my visor at a stoplight which allowed water to get between my visor and pinlock

>>13824549
your bike seems to loose traction alot, look into better tires

>>13824703
he's probably riding fat tires on the leaves and acorns

Really it's only white lines and standing water that is the problem but living in poland, there is quite a lot of both. I'll try to limit my rain riding until I get new tires, I can just take the bus when I have to go to uni on Saturdays and ride a bicycle for my 2 mile m-f commute

Hey /dbt/ I just got my new bike, and after fucking with it's carbs for a bit I managed to get it to idle. However, after putting around town on it for a test ride, it ended up quietly dying and it won't kickstart alive again. I'm hoping something's just adjusted wrong. It's a 1979 honda XL250S, I posted it in the last thread. Any ideas?

>>13825127
I think that's gonna be a killer bike when they work out the kinks. There's already aa few nice custom builds of the Scout. I'm just waiting for some chopped Chiefs

>>13825112
Just cleaned, I didn't try to sync it or fuck with it too much. I was so excited about getting it to idle that I just threw on my helmet and took it for a quick spin. The original problem was that it would run fine if you gave it throttle, but if you let off the throttle it wouldn't idle at all and die. Now it's being a pain in the ass to kickstart.

Guys I'm the cancer anon who posted here last Wednesday (dunno anyone was around at that time).

The pancreatic cancer is real. Chemo starts tomorrow. Prognosis is poor. I did my will this week so that my family gets the bikes and the small I amount I saved should things take a turn for the worse.

Riding was the best thing that ever came into my life. Cherish those moments dbt. I'll remember the mountain runs forever.

I'll try to post an update later this week.

>>13825157
We'll remember you anon. I'll put a sticker on my bike to honor you

>>13825145
have you cleaned the needles and jets too or only the bowls?

Nope.

>>13825127
This is pretty too. Still not it though.


I like the 48 too

>>13825157
It's my understanding pancreatic cancer is a death sentence. My father died of it. Good luck, chemo isn't as awful as it was a decade or 2 ago. Ride often, clear your head, and fucking enjoy. Maybe keep a journal for your family.

>>13825167
I cleaned the needles and jets, wiped down the bowls, and gave it some carb cleaner. It started right up and idled after I got it back together but when I got to a stop sign it just went quiet and I couldn't kickstart it. My manual says the air filter might be plugged or something but I dunno. There might have been a little bit of water in the fuel can I used to dump the tank into... does this mean I have to take apart the carb again? say it ain't so

>>13825157

It starts no problem now, but now it's back to just not idling anymore. I have to basically keep it in first and the throttle cracked a little bit whenever I come to a stop or it'll die. Kind of annoying but not terrible I guess.

Never said anything about Rossi, but Marquez has just been acting like lorenzos bitch with his crowning achievement of getting rossi kicked to the back a couple weeks ago. Regardless of whether or not he was going to win overall today, he should have done more than just pace Lorenzo this race and should actually tried to win. At least Dani actually tried today.

The magic thing about a motorcycle is it doesn't even need to be fast, and you can enjoy it a lot. When i first started out, i was on a 50cc scooter, and i was riding it the whole day, i never got bored.

>>13825483
You have literally no overlap of inlet and outlet valve... the cam for the 45-70 PS (wich should be exactly the same for every 2 valve boxer in this power range) has 5° of overlap.
You should be able to reach 50 ps by using the cam from any other 50/60 ps bmw of that era and the (I believe) 32 bing carbs.
I do remember that the valves were somewhat smaller but not that much.
Haven't got my books with technical data at my dorm so can't really confirm it.

>>13825846
Enemy of my enemy is my friend, MM knew that if he went hard and got #1, and DP got #2, then JL would've bitch like hell, and VR would've went insane in the membrane, with his fans and shit. I see it as MM wants to push VR to retirement and let new blood come in.

Did MM kick someone off their bike because he couldn't keep pace.
>Oh wait, only few can go fastest then MM.

>>13825870
It isn't really. A bicycle is agile and quick at turn-in but really easy to lose traction at high speeds. On a bicycle you're much heavier than the machine so for the most part can get away with body steering (tho taking tight turns without bleeding off speed is pretty much as exciting as it is on a motorcycle, or even more because the thin tires provide no traction whatsoever.

A motorcycle is heavier than you (wranon need not apply) so you need to use relatively high force to turn. If bicycles were as fast as motorcycles, I'd take one everytime because they'd be ridiculously terrifying

>>13825958
>Did MM kick someone off their bike because he couldn't keep pace.

was coming off this huge bike show and the bikes were using the little space on the road to move on and not clog the road even more
there were also people walking and they would make it easy for the bikes to pass and not hit them but when it came to me they wouldnt hear it and I almost hit a person quite some times

Here's the deal /dbt/
I am 18 years old and live with my parents. I've been looking at buying my first bike and went to look at pic related today. When my parents found out they told me it's just a matter of time until I get seriously injured or killed onna bike. They also told me they would kick me out if I bought it. What do? Also I would appreciate if any anons could give me some information about the bike in pic related. I am very new to bikes and don't know much about them yet.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOngRDVtEQI

>>13826844
They won't kick you out. Call their bluff, and buy a damn bike.

>>13826844
That looks like it needs work, as it has been sitting outside, and if you're incapable of doing it yourself then don't bother buying it.

Also kickstart bikes are a bitch if you're not used to them.

Your parents are fucking idiots but that being said, having a place to stay > having a bike so keep that in mind.

>>13826881

I think MM got caught in a bit of a catch 22, If he stayed behind Lorenzo he'd have people claiming he directly helped him win the championship, whilst if he went past, unless Lorenzo held off Dani for P2 they'd be handing Rossi the championship on a golden platter, I don't think he could stomach the idea of indirectly helping Rossi after everything that's happened this year.

I honestly think MM was going to wait for a last lap pounce, you could see his race rhythm change completely with about 4 laps to go, he was practically glued to Lorenzo's rear tire out of the corners, but lost valuable time on the penultimate lap from getting caught up with Dani

The extravagance in which my surplus emotion expressed itself lay on the road. So long as roads were tarred blue and straight; not hedged; and empty and dry, so long I was rich.

Another bend: and I have the honour of one of England’ straightest and fastest roads. The burble of my exhaust unwound like a long cord behind me. Soon my speed snapped it, and I heard only the cry of the wind which my battering head split and fended aside. The cry rose with my speed to a shriek: while the air’s coldness streamed like two jets of iced water into my dissolving eyes. I screwed them to slits, and focused my sight two hundred yards ahead of me on the empty mosaic of the tar’s gravelled undulations.

Like arrows the tiny flies pricked my cheeks: and sometimes a heavier body, some house-fly or beetle, would crash into face or lips like a spent bullet. A glance at the speedometer: seventy-eight. Boanerges is warming up. I pull the throttle right open, on the top of the slope, and we swoop flying across the dip, and up-down up-down the switchback beyond: the weighty machine launching itself like a projectile with a whirr of wheels into the air at the take-off of each rise, to land lurchingly with such a snatch of the driving chain as jerks my spine like a rictus.

A cup of real chocolate and a muffin at the teashop: and Boa and I took the Newark road for the last hour of daylight. He ambles at forty-five and when roaring his utmost, surpasses the hundred. A skittish motor-bike with a touch of blood in it is better than all the riding animals on earth, because of its logical extension of our faculties, and the hint, the provocation, to excess conferred by its honeyed untiring smoothness. Because Boa loves me, he gives me five more miles of speed than a stranger would get from him.

at least I listen to good music.

Don't think I'll get a sportsbike quite yet.

just got back from a night ride. It was very cold. It can be nice in some ways because there's much less traffic, but I much prefer daytime because it's nice to be able to see.
