think about how annoying that'd be for people around you

>>13836424
cagers ride with their music playing with the window down all the time

It also adds safety because they'll look at me for once tbqh

>>13836373
Who gives a fuck what they think of it, its your bike, right? Music while riding is fucking awesome.

Plus, because you are on a glorious 2-wheel funmachine, if anyone gives you shit, you can just whack the throttle and be 4 blocks away in less time then it takes to load the next song.

>>13836373
I wouldn't myself, it'd be pretty impractical for anything but cruising around town.

Remember sitting next to a Goldwing at the lights that had the radio on, was weird.

Might need to do electrical work to get it to work at all too, know my bike pretty much just puts out enough charge to run itself.

>tfw will never get a bike
am sad

Just get a SENA and play your shit music through that

>>13836522
Damn, that's actually tragic.

Why can't you get a bike anon?

Why senpai?

>>13836522
Why not?

Jacket+helmet is enough protection for dd? Btw Im in germany so avarage driver is less likely to kill you.

>>13836578
If you have an accident, which is statistically likely, you'll rip your feet and legs to pieces. You've seen the tennis shoe crash photo right?

Grab a decent pair of kevlar jeans, boots and gloves on top of that at the very least. It's not worth ripping yourself to pieces.

No
Boots are very important and you better get a decent german helmet like pic related

Live hard die young?

>>13836539
>live in Florida
>can't ride in the winter because snowbirds will kill you
>can't ride in the summer because it's too hot

>>13836589
if it fits you properly in the smallest possible size

schuberths for example felt like my head was getting squeezed in half

ended up in a hjc since their helmet shapes fit mine better, feels like my head doesnt even have a helmet on it from how well it fits

>>13836601
>too hot
It gets up to 115F during Summer here, doesn't stop me. Just wear your gear and drink plenty of water.

>>13836588
Should have drunk your milk

My sense of balance and distance is pretty fucked up. I can ride a bicycle alright but sometime I just fall over, and I can drive a car alright but I have occasionally tapped stuff because I couldn't judge how close I was. How fucked am I?

>>13836610
>>13836596

im preparing for end times
you idiots have strong as fuck skeletons INSIDE YOU RIGHT NOW
mine is weak i can beat it if it ever revolts

>>13836623
I wasn't being an ass to you, was just saying why not just do it? You only live once, if you want to ride you should.

>>13836623
My right ankle joints are wicked shitty. I'll just trip my skeleton and its leg will fall apart.

Everyone has a different head shape for sure.
The C3 and the C3 Pro are designed for different headshapes even, the Pro is a bit more of a neutral shape.
I'd had trouble with helmets for years in terms of comfort, airflow, buffeting and noise until I finally said fuck it.
Going to get one for my dad as a Christmas gift

>>13836578
Get armor dude. Even if its just armored jeans and stuff, you don't need to look like a gay power ranger every time you leave the house.

I don't get why people don't wear motorcycle gear, its fucking socially-accepted and police-endorsed body armor that you can just wear around. Its great.

>>13836602
>>13836633
Not him but definitely gotta wear what fits your head. Arai for me. My RX-Q saved my life, so I'll be buying Arai helmets until the day I die.

>>13836635
This. You can buy so much casual looking gear nowadays too.

Draggin jeans (Australian brand), with a Dainese jacket, boots and gloves. Looks good on and off the bike and I don't have to look like a power ranger.

Definitely going to get a riding suit one of these days though.

>>13836586
Would I then have to carry an extra pair of shoes and pants with me? How would I change once Im at my destination. I guess I can wear boots daily.

>>13836699
Most boots are comfortable enough to walk around with and you can wear with your kevlar jeans over so its not so noticable

>>13836699
That's why I said kevlar jeans, you can wear them all day. I change shoes if I'm at work, anywhere else I just keep my boots on. Got some Dainese boots that are comfortable and tuck under my jeans, don't look racey at all.

its not the 90s anymore so people dont chill in parking lots with techno pumping from their sports bikes
its 2015 and only faggots on goldwings use a radio

>implying you'd hear it going over 25 mph
>implying it's aids your safety
>implying it won't annoy people around you
>implying it won't set off road rage in some soccer mom/teen ricer and put in in potential harm
>implying it's not just something for someone to try and steal off your bike
>implying whatever else you got

Just get a senna and sync Bluetooth pleb.

>>13836620
>I just fall over
>tapping stuff on a car
you're fucked on a motorcycle

>>13836620
Stick to 4 wheels son

Nah, my Harley had a good 4 speaker sound system.

>>13836835
Shut up dad you're embarrassing me

>>13836882
Your mom and I have already said we will still love you, gay or not.

>>13836817
You can, but let them air dry. I wash mine by hand usually though.

I don't know what brands are available where you are, but the Australian brand Draggin Jeans has by far been the best Kevlar jeans I've used.

a motorcycle is an expensive noose

A bathtub won't get you places. At least not faster than a car
