scooters?
bikes under 300cc?

I've never ridden on a sub 300cc bike that could get to 60mph, perhaps if you are a manlet, a child or a tiny woman you could use such a tiny engined machine, but real men ride 650s to learn on, and at least a liter bike if they plan on using major roads

Dusseldorf (DAPD-NRW). Four accidents involving motorcyclists in North Rhine-Westphalia: It died a young man, three drivers suffered on Thursday in serious injury. On the highway 565 near Meckenheim lost a motorcyclist yet unknown reason, the control of his machine and crashed as a police spokesman said on Friday morning on request. In this case, the young man moved to serious injuries. He died still at the accident site.

According to the police the identity initially not stable. For the man, it is likely to be a 22-year-olds. The police suspect that the driver to quickly drove his racing machine. During the salvage operations the motorway towards Bonn was locked. There were traffic jams.

A 50-year-old motorcyclist drove in Mettmann in a roundabout when a car collided with his motorcycle, as police said. Probably the sun had blinded the driver, which is why it came to the rear-end collision. The motorcyclist crashed and was hospitalized. It originated 5,000 euros damage.

In Neuss motorists ignored when turning a motorcycle and collided with this. Here, the 63-year-old motorcyclist pulled to serious injuries and was hospitalized. Fatal did not exist, police said. The damage is estimated at EUR 4,000.

On the highway 52 crashed a motorcycle sidecar. The police reported the vehicle came between junctions Dorsten-East and Marl-Frentrop from of previously unknown causes of the road and crashed into the guard rail. The driver was seriously injured. The leaderless team came a few meters away on the hard shoulder to a halt. Police said the damage to property with 10,700 euros.

>bike is fucking -gorgeous-
I will find my classic sportbike to restomod. I've got a few models and paint schemes I want.
The best part is making a sluggish, heavy, old sportbike better with new tech. So I get the beautiful old bike looks, but benefit from four caliper brakes, upside down forks, fuel injection, pod filters, new exhaust systems.
And I love the titanium exhaust on that Z1 above. When I get my bike, I'm definitely treating the exhaust with titanium. Because heat discoloured rainbows.

Do you guys have any suggestions on cheap action cams? From my understanding most don't over an external microphone connection. Do I have any choice outside of the super expensive gopro's?

>>13962510
Get an external audio recorder, put sound on top of video afterwards.

If in Yurop, Denver ACT-8030W

If in Murica SJCAM 5000

>>13962510
I use a Drift Stealth 2. It's cheap, pretty good battery life, major downside is the microphone is terrible. But you can fix that by putting a sock over the camera.

My gear shifter pedal keeps falling off, how do I fix this? I tightened it once but it came off again in traffic. Did I just not tighten it enough?

>>13962548
Unscrew it, and put locktite on it, and the screw it back in.

Heating cooling and vibration can do some crazy shit.

Anyone else like riding while buzzed? Makes me feel infinite and aware of everything. I usually pound down a can of 4Loko or fruit punch Steel Reserve.

I get on the freeway, and just punch that shit and feel like I'm on a rocket ship. I even road past a cop on his cop bike on the main road and he sorta looked at me, but then chilled out cause I was following the traffic rules. That's the good thing about helmets cause can't no one see when you're buzzed.

>>13962655

>>13962671

You must be a weak bitch who can't into self awareness even while buzzed. I bet you still need training wheels going 30mph while sober.

>>13962627
Depends on where the seal is, some seal you can pull and replace externally, some seals the engine has to be cracked open to get to.

Also being that the shifter is almost lowest on the case, it could be the leak is coming from somewhere above that. I had an output shaft seal leak that trickled down the shifter.

I hope so, I just want to ride.

I'm only supposed to rest in my bed or recliner and do some walking with this contraption. It has a rod that goes to that knee thing and locks my back in place.
Can't even do physical therapy so I cancelled them from coming to my house. A nurse still sees me every week though.
I was at least able to make it to see my dad before he passed away in the hospital and make the funeral.
When I was still in the hospital he had a heart attack nicknamed the widow maker. Nice right.
I'm keeping the bike for him, he told me not to sell it to pay bills lol.
Hopefully I'll be able to ride it again. I'm so nervous the surgeon will tell me no.

Bruhhhh a lot were grey imported here in Australia and they're still pretty rare and expensive. If you can find a quality importer I suppose you could do it, but expect to pay out of the ass for just about all logistics, never mind getting it certified roadworthy.

In canada we have a rule where if it's 15 years old or older, it is exempt from all importation laws and can be insured no problem. It's just a matter of finding someone with experience in importing bikes at this point.
There are lots of reputable places near me that import cars, but none of them have any experience with bikes. I found windbell motorcycles in vancouver, but they haven't emailed me back yet.

If it's as easy as you say it is I would go ahead for an import instead of finding one locally. Have you considered the potential difficulty of getting some parts as well?

>>13963006
why not just buy a bike that was released to your area? It's not like there aren't good options

>>13963030
>>13963031
I have considered the difficulty of getting parts, that's why I want to find a really good importer with experience with bikes so they can make sure it's in the best possible condition before I consider buying it. I already have a jdm STI and it's not too difficult to find parts for, but I'm aware that bikes are very different than cars when it comes to parts. Not everything can be interchangable with parts from other models.

I have considered getting a bike that's more available here, but I've completely fallen in love with that v4 sound and the look of the bike in general.

Maybe find a windscreen for my DR650. ProCycle sells a good one but they exclude 99s. Goddommit. Also, I'll do chain maintenance, bend the right turn signal bracket back to shape, and maybe fix the handlebar alignment.

How the fuck do into buying a bike this spring, going at highways speeds and downshifting? I figure I'll just find a decent jap rat and have my buddy drive me to the seller, then ride the bitch to a parking lot an ride around for 30 minutes or so to build my confidence.

When I drove stick, I'd just put it in neutral coming to traffic or a stop, then put it in year.
On a bike, when going from say 50mph to 15mph, just pull in the clutch, brake, and count the shifts the own?

>>13963325
Yeah, it'll become muscle memory. Nonsequential gearbox so you can hop from fifth to second if speeds allow. Surefire way to know is But if going to a traffic stop, just cluch in, go all the way down, stay in first at the stop with clutch in just in case you need it.

>>13963325
>just pull in the clutch, brake, and count the shifts
That's what I used to do all the time, and still do on occasion. I would hold in the clutch until I needed the throttle again. Now I just go down one gear at a time while letting the clutch out between each shift.

I don't think it really matters how you do it

>>13963345
>Surefire way to know is But if going to a traffic stop, just cluch in, go all the way down, stay in first at the stop with clutch in just in case you need it.
I think you accidentally deleted some of your sentence

>>13963360
Oh, I guess I did.

Lost my train of thought now too. Sorry.

>>13963325
you revmatch and go down gears one at a time IMO.

Blip the throttle, if you learn to blip right you can legit smoothly downshift with no clutch at all if you want to.

bike gearboxes are sequential, to shift a bike smooth is to shift it fast.

>>13963373
>>13963345
My bad, forgot to clarify gearboxes are sequential but you CAN skip gears need be. Blehhh need more sleep.

Alright thanks guys.
So I'll just make sure to take it easy when easing out on the clutch when downshifting.
I've never engine braked through every gear when coming to a stop, too much engine braking.

>>13963402
I like to let it warm up a bit. Usually, the time it takes to finish putting on my gear is enough to get it to >150F. Then I start riding easy 'till it more or less stabilizes ~250F or so. DR650, so aircooled.

>>13963424
don't rely soley on engine braking when stopping. Do not neglect your brakes, especially the front one.

>>13963440
ayyy alamo

>>13963424
if you revmatch right you can just rape the clutch out, just learn to blip.

The problem is I don't know what this device can and can't do yet.
I do know that roller coasters are out of the question. He looked at me like I was crazy when I asked that lol.
Apparently it has a 40 year life until I need a new one.
Unfortunately my dad was full of tubes and hooked up to machines when I saw him. He should have died where he collapsed on the floor but managed to wake up and be alert all the way to the emergency room.
They had to put him under while they did a bunch of things but had to keep him sedated so he never woke up fully. Eventually his organs started to go one by one and once his kidneys went we decided it was time to let go. That was a decision I hope none of you have to make.

Funny story tho. My dad was a goofball and was funny. I'm not super religious but I at least feel like maybe he's sending is signs he's with us.
The day he passed I royally shit myself. Like an absurd amount of shit.
The hospital had been pumping me full of at least 2 types of laxatives since I was on such high doses of morphine. I could go on and explain how bad it was but I think I've embarrassed myself and grossed everyone out enough lol.
I think my dad played a prank on me that day.

>>13963289
Just keep at it bruh you'll get used to it soon enough. i started on an expensive 600 and it wasn't too hard to manage the power and get the hang of it.

Is this your first bike? I would suggest not getting a grey import as a first bike, there are way more options for you within Canada. If you are in Ontario and are trying to curb high insurance prices, its still not worth it. But if you do decide to go with it, there is a guy here in Toronto that goes to Japan every summer and gets some nice bikes. Nuak JDM is his shop, afaik he is still in business.

>>13963483
Don't feel bad man, I can't go on roller coasters or any high-G flights, could detatch my retinas and cause perm blindness. Offroad is my only fun...

You know what pleb, he stayed here to give you the message to never sell the SV man. He'd a be proud of you.
>The day he passed I royally shit myself. Like an absurd amount of shit.
kek, sounds like a fun guy to be around.
Love practical jokers.

I remember the time when my granmother died years ago, the skies were a beautiful pink color. Can never forget, I was standing on mulch in a field and looked up... I didn't even know she passed until later that night. And then a year after her deactivated phone started making noises and stuff.

>>13963516
Unfortunately I'm in BC so a trip to ontario for a bike really isn't worth it. It is my first bike that I've owned but I have a good amount of experience riding my friends gs500 and another friends cb450 nighthawk

>And then a year after her deactivated phone started making noises and stuff.

So what's with your eyes, that sounds scary.

>>13963325
Just pull in the clutch, shift down to first, then release the clutch. It's not hard. You get a fair bit of engine braking too, which is nice.

I have relatively bad eyes; it's hereditary. It's myopia and also have astigmatism.
In the back of your eyeball you have what's called a retina, it contains the rods and cones for sight, and the thing *can* detatch itself internally from your eyeball if under somewhat high gravitational stress etc.
Don't want to become blind, and that's probably why I didn't pursue becoming a pilot.
>>13963564
kek is that your perspective of the webm

>>13963527
If you are dead set on it than expect to pay upwards of 5-6 k for a 15 yo bike. You will need look it over in Japan before you import it as well. The shop that I mentioned provides import service as well so you could try getting him ship it for you or look for an importer locally to check it over and ship it.

>>13963582
I did find an importer in vancouver that specializes in bikes, I'm gonna get a quote from them and do some research to find out whether or not they are reputable.

Hi guys, i'm in hospital, i went out riding and was hit side on by a car driven by some Chinese fuckwit who'd never driven anything bigger than a micra who rented a massive Nissan monstrosity. i'd only been riding for less than a year.

the first thing that happened was my ICE, my sister, yelled at me that bike riding was dangerous, and that she's going to get rid of my bike

then my parents yelled at me that they told me it was dangerous and that i am lucky i wasn't killed and that if i don't get rid of that bike i'll be kicked out of home (12% unemployment here) and they weren't going to pick it up from where it was left

the kicker though, what made them all shut the fuck up and stop YELLING AT ME for being hit by a car?

I wasn't on my bike when it happened, i was at woollies picking up oven cleaner and vegetables for my mum, walking in the parking lot. The bike was parked.

Motorcycles, less dangerous than walking.

>>13963637
Holy shit, I'm sorry anon.
And when you're hurt and not doing well being yelled at is not appropriate.

What injuries did you sustain?
And I hope you heal fast.

>>13963645
Of course I am, it's a new bike (for me anyway) I only just got off my Ls. All they heard was "went out on his bike, got hit by a car, BAN ASSAULT BIKES!"

>>13964119
Like I said, they're designed for people to do little pulls between like 50 and 120 km/hr (not too fast that'd be dangerous) and to go post online about how it "wheelies for days" when they're too vaginal to do anything other than bounce the front wheel a few centimeters when they hit the throttle.

They are a bike for straight line heroes and idiots, more engine than chassis.

I don't mind the engine, if they made it rev out a bit more, hotter cams to put some extra power up the top and wedged it in an R6 frame I'd be all over it, the mt-09 is a spud though, hate them.

Should just spend a bit more and get a bike that corners amazingly too like the new gsx-s

Kek that's exactly what happened.

It's small though so you have to look close.

I was talking to the guy over an intercom though. He agreed that the chassis/suspension is terrible and the engine is the only good part.

Hey /dbt/ I got a question for y'all.
I had to jumpstart my bike a few days ago, retarted friend turned on the car, bike still worked, but today I found out the battery isn't charging from the bike and I have to ride then put at tender on it.

What's the most likely thing that got destroyed while I jumped the bike to cause this?

>>13964304
naw

>>13964313
Nothing got destroyed while jump starting it.

Your stator has gone bad. That's why you had to jump start it in the first place.

Charge the battery. Then test the voltage at the battery with everything off, then with the lights on, then with the engine on at idle, then with the engine revved up.

>>13964355
youll need to open things up and find the rectifier. pull the AC leads off it that come from the stator.
since the stator will put out power as soon as its being spun you can use a voltmeter on AC (not all will work) and see if you get voltage from it while idling.
otherwise get or make some jumper cables and hook them to the stator leads and hook them to a 12v bulb and see if it lights up at idle.
post bike year/model and i can try to find some specifics on what to look at.
dont rev it or itll pop the bulb since its unregulated voltage.
if that checks out you know the rectifier is shot.

>pic related, my battery after a rectifier failure

local shop mounts and balances both my tires for $25 and takes the old tires off my hands for free.
some local company buys the tires from then to grind up and make some kind of top cover things for gardens.

I don't know. Look up an electrical diagnosis for your bike. For mine I was looking for over 14v with the engine running above idle.

>>13964417
2004 EX250F

Also some more info:
I replaced the battery back when the bike went all fucky a few days ago, it was running fine as far as I could tell but today it died and was only reading 11 to 12volts, popped it on a charger and the bike runs fine now, so I know it is something in the charging system. I was able to ride the bike as normal, my battery hasn't exploded.

>>13964433
Test resistance from your stator wires (before it gets to the rectifier/regulator) to ground. If there's any continuity, then your stator is bad.

The voltage test will confirm it is your charging system. It is more likely the stator than the rectifier.

good call, i forgot that part
>>13964472
as above anon mentioned, check resistance across the stator leads
there will be 3 yellow wires and you should read within 10% of one another on resistance and none should have continuity to the frame
then you can move to the output test with a lightbulb.

also check for shitty plugs, if the sensing wire on the rectifier is getting bad/corroded it may misread and not charge correctly

>>13964635
I prefer staggered stand ups, one foot on the rear peg one on the brake for that reason, also the bike tends to move around a little bit under wheelies and when you're standing the bike can just move under you and it's much smoother imo.
