Going to inquire as to how much mounting and balancing Shinko 705s will run me tomorrow.

Also, the Vickers in WoT sucks in Tier 1 and 2. This is beyond painful.

opinions on the t100?

Vic anon yes the 300 is a LAMS approved bike somehow.

I have no idea how but seeing a first time rider on one of those would be hilarious as fuck

>>14020909
>tfw I eat Vickers for breakfast in my purpose-built shitstomper T18

>>14020925
Well it's easy. In T1, you just one shot them with a BB gun. In T2, three shots from a Wal*Mart pellet gun and GG. Goddamn please tell me the Brit medium line gets better.

>>14020909
Well if you want OP tanks....
Tier 2 = T18 Tank destroyer
Tier 3 = cruiser 2 with derp gun (1 shot everything)
tier 4 = Hetzer gonna hetz
tier 5 = kv-1/kv-1s
tier 6 = kv-2
tier 7 = t29 heavy
tier 8 = IS-3
tier 9 = E75
and at tier 10 there is not really a bad tank they all have their good and bad points.

>>14020950
>hetzer gonna hetz
My buddy who got me into the game said the exact same thing. haha

It's worth it, the higher tier Brit meds are a joy to drive.

>>14020985
THen I have some small drive to continue tolerating this bullshit.

>>14020921
I know lol they only weigh 100kg and have over 55bhp, kinda makes no sense considering a vfr400r is not lams approved because it is supposedly too powerful for its weight haha

>>14021047
There are some LAMS legal VFR400s. You have to check their papers. Some have a LAMS approval on them.

Otherwise just get an RVF400.

>>14021070
Honestly i swear the lams approval just comes from asking vic roads to put a stamp on the papers, bikes like the cbr250rr are not listed as lams bikes even though they are.

>>14021047
I'm thinking at around tax time next year I'll go and buy some supermoto wheels for the 300 for street use.

Think of all the willies that can be had

>>14021091
That's because a CBR250RR is 249cc, putting it in the under 250cc class which isn't listed.

>>14021098
Heh, looks like they list all of them now. It's a spillover from when the LAMS list was only for the 250-660cc class.

Originally anything under 250cc was legal. They brought in the exception for bikes like RS250 really quickly though.

>>14021098
But the cbr125 is listed, see what i mean the lams thing makes little sense sometimes.

>>14021121
Of course it's listed there, I'm talking about the actual documentation papers. Originally it was anything under 250 was fine, then it had an approved 250-660 class with a list of bikes.

The documentation shows "everything" now, but some bikes fell through the cracks like the MC22. Not that it matters since their papers for one will say LAMS anyway and the anything under 250 that's not two stroke 250 sportsbike rule still stands and MC22 are 249cc.

>>14021146
i see fair enough, i wonder how bikes like the ktm300 slipped through the cracks on that being that they are a 2 stroke 300cc race bike lol

>following Lam's guidelines

I ignored them for 4 years and was fine. Have fun on your gn250 kids

Riding around on an unrestricted Hyosung 650 is a bit different to riding around on an R1 on your L's, friend.

When I was learning the thing to do was buy bikes like RD250s and put 350 heads on them. It wasn't technically legal, but RD250s were LAMS and it'd be hard for a cop to prove you'd done anything.

>>14021162
Aprilia RXV550 are LAMS legal as well. It's mainly because they aren't technically road-legal in factory configuration.

>>14021166
>>14021189
It's not worth messing around with it nowadays. They're really trying to crack down on it.

Not that it really matters. Learners nowadays have a bunch of larger bikes they can choose from anyway. I do get a chuckle every time something like an ER6NL or an FZ6R that's de-restricted thinks he can race me off a light though.

>>14021183
This basically. I really loved my CBR250RR. It's in pieces in the back yard (I'll have it working perfectly eventually), but my R1 is so much nicer to ride. I do miss how crude the MC22 was though. I've got the engine running though at least. Gotta check if the frame is fucked though, the front end is.

Try not to take this as a shitpost because it's the honest truth. It's a risk you have to accept. Until you can you aren't ready to ride.

I had two brain hemorrhages in my last accident (and didn't die). Throughout the entire recovery process I just wanted to go for a ride again. That's when you love it.

>>14021202
It only takes a few weeks to get past the insane acceleration and just start to enjoy sitting on highways at 3,000rpm.

That being said, I did this one day after leaving work where I was riding an NBC110 all day (used to pinning it to move).

I know what you mean, I really like white Ducatis for some reason...

I've always had orange bikes, but I got the R1 in black. It's weird, I have to wash it like every third day or it gets filthy.

GSXR 1000 vs CBR1000? I need a new litre bike.

>>14021262
i know what you mean. with my GSXR i had to wax it once every 10 days or so to make it look factory new.

this bike its like every 3 days. im never buying a black bike again.

So I'm 6 ft tall and thinking of getting either a bobber style bike or a cafe style bike but I'm not sure which one will be better for my back/posture. Help?

I'm really wanting the bobber and think it would be best for me with the right sized handlebars.

I know you aren't supposed to ask but who 1% around here? I know I've seen HA's around at punk shows/bars I've worked at and tons of other racist tweaker biker dudes in my area with 1% patches. Do you really have to be a dyed in the wool scumbag to wear a 1% patch? does it have to be earned?

Had relatively good experiences with HA in my area. They're usually friendly or leave you alone if you aren't in the way. They got the Korean Mafia out the area too.

I wouldn't wear a 1% patch if you don't have a club/gang to back it up. It's asking for trouble.

I tried to explain that to someone and got some passing NAH UR RACIST comments.

I was literally trying to explain to someone that they're generally fine as long as you aren't against them and are white.

Last one I ran into made a comment like, "As far as I'm concerned there are two motorcycle brands. Harleys and others", then he had a laugh and started complimenting my R1.

migrate to australia? takes about as long to get a visa over here as it would for you to save for a new bike haha.
even minimum wage over here is $17.29 per hour or $656.90 per 38 hour week

>>14021712
Yeah its ton of money.

>>14021720
Yeah i know a few people who have gone through the process and it does literally take about 5 years to get a citizenship, you can live here on a work visa for 4 years though, just means 25% of your wages go to the government on top of regular tax.

>>14021705

You could only live on minimum wage if you lived in a hole and skipped everything but the necessities.

yeah thats what i meant, 100,000 is not really a lot of money over here, kinda makes me want to save up a million dollars and move to serbia and live as a multi millionaire for the rest of my life to be honest.

Long story short, no backpackers are almost never on work visas. That's why do all do under the table cash in hand shit while they're here. They're almost always traveling on the Visa Free time frames.

For the majority of those countries we get the reverse as well. It's a good setup.

People like me just go the full dodgy while traveling and swap passports as I go (dual citizenship). Usually base it on who that country likes more.

Can you willie? Because you will be doing willies without trying to on the 1000.

>>14022022
I can't and I don't want to. I just like speed and nothing else, I'm not about doing stunts. I would never dare risk doing a wheelie and fucking up and totaling my bike.

You will be doing willies on the 600 while under acceleration without trying as well, if that is the case just keep the 300 in my honest opinion. maybe something like a cb1300 would suit you more if you really want a new bike that is pretty with more powaaaa but dont want to do willies or be mr stuntman boy racer.

>>14022032
The 300 has 32 horsepower though. It's rather the difference between twice the torque and "holy shit I can see Belgium from up here"

>>14022005
It depends where you live. I live in an urban area and know a few guys who bought liter bikes, and sold them for 600s because they said that riding a liter bike gets too boring and they like to play with the gears. Around me you can go the whole day without shifting on a 1000. If I lived down south or out west I would definitely have a 1k.

i bought a 1300cc cause i wanted something different and there wasn't a smaller version of this bike. there is the 848 street fighter but i really didn't want to deal with desmo valves on a non-superbike.

id say my 600 was much more fun on public roads.

>Now let me say I don't buy anything used ever, I like my shit brand spanking new, I like to break it in myself. I looked on Honda's website and saw that the 600RR and 1000RR is only a $2,000 gap.
You can get a used CBR1000RR that's identical to the current model for half the price though?

Should I go for a CB250 for my first bike?

Currently on a very slow 150cc chinese bike that's borrowed from a family member, and i want something that's capable of going highway speeds plus that bit extra for safety, like can go from 110 to 130 when needed. Not looking at doing street stunts or insane speeds.

People have been trying to convince me to get a bigger bike, like a 400, but i don't really know what to get. a CB250 can go for 2k, a CB 400 starts at over 4.5k. What are some other LAMS approved bikes i should look at? I like naked bikes, but am not married to them

I live down south and riding to work everyday is 35 miles to and back. So everyday I ride 70 miles or so.

I am conflicted mainly because I do a shit load of highway riding and the roads aren't bad at all and I take my CBR300 to the limit everyday because I just want more. I bought it to learn on and now I want more.

>>14022052
Eh, 600s really only get into crazy mode above 7krpm

>>14022055
I love my R1 for highway travel, but it always reminds me it has borderline racing suspension. It doesn't even pretend to be comfortable.

>>14022055
You should ride your 300 until you stop wanting more.

Go around a corner sometime and get back to us.

/dbt/, anyone ever been chased ?

UK fag here.

I've got no choice tonight, I've got to take a bike out that isn't insured, taxed, MOTd and I don't even have the licence for, so the plate is staying off.

In the event that I do get chased, what's the best advice ? Aside from don't crash or get SMIDSYed. Or caught.

My friend's dad is a police officer and 95% of the time if a motorcycle goes over 60mph, they have to stop chasing it. Most police are just trained for standard initial pursuit for cars, and they won't call a helicopter because it costs like £7k for one to take off, takes between 20-45 minutes for it to arrive and then they can only chase for like 30-45 minutes before needing refuelling. I know that here, if there's no plate to see, there's no evidence, even if sometime down the line they KNOW it was you.

Think I've got a good chance ? I'm not going far, but you never know what can happen.

>>14022085
>implying

I just sai I live in the south and have to take the highway to get to work if I want to make good time.

If I go into work really early and take the back roads that's all there is is curves.

Of course I'm not dragging my fucking knee or anything because that would be idiotic.

Liter bike it is. The 750 is also an option if you want to look into it. Keeps me entertained around town but I can still hang with the R1s and 1000RRs. Highway I can get to 150 like nothing and the suspension and seat angle is great. Good luck and I hope you're happy with whatever you get.

Are you taking it to the limit though?
Being able to find 160km/h on your 300 riding down a highway and be unhappy with it is all fine and dandy but how are you at actually controlling the bike around corners?
Counter steering?
Counter steering while cornering?
Throttle control?
Brake control? (Most litre bikes have no ABS)
Clutch control?
How is your emergency braking in general?
Do you have to put your feet down under 5km/h?
If you do lift up the front end are you going to panick and flip the bike or are you going to know how to control it?
Is the 300 your first bike ever?

That last one is key here... is that 300 your first bike?
If so i doubt you are ready and i mean no offense by that, i have been riding dirt bikes for 18 years and road bikes for 2 and a half now and i am still not ready to be throwing my leg over a litre bike, i will be getting a 600 for my next bike and a litre bike after i am confident of my ability on the 600.

Any of those except the Hyoshit would be fine.

>>14022100
I know, I will probably be getting the 600 in the long run, right now it is just desire.

>counter steering
Easy, it's completely natural and I do it without thinking, I take country roads going 85 and these fuckers are filled with sharp corners.

>counter steering while cornering
^

>throttle control
As fine as it can get on a 300. I can control the speed perfectly and I don't have to look at the speedometer to know how fast I am going, I can tell by feel and what gear I am in.

>brake control
Good. No matter where I am I always approach everything breaking from a far off distance coming to the smoothest stop possible, I never wait until I have to really clench the brakes. My 300R does have ABS and I've had to slam the brakes on it only 1 time and that was because some fucker ran a red light and almost hit me. I kept the bike balanced when braking full force and never lost control.

>clutch control
Great. I never drop the clutch and I always keep a smooth steady take off.

>emergency braking
^

>do I put my feet down?
I do not unless I am sitting still at a red light naturally.

>lift, panick, control it
I got my 300R up on accident because I wanted to see how fast it could go 0-60. Got it up about 12 inches and for a split second I panicked because I had never done or practiced a wheelie in my life (unless you count a bicycle). Regained control fast and set the bike down fine, no wobble or loss of control.

>first bike ever
Yes

As I said I will probably get the 600, right now it is just desire for the 1000.

>>14022122

>>14022123
Is that all you have to choose from?

Don't get the GS500 for that price and don't even bother thinking about the hyosung.

>>14022123
Of these the quack wack sucky but you'll have more fun on a cb250/cbr250r/vtr250

>>14022104
Most come with an ABS option but most people opt not to get it because adding ABS to a brake caliper means removing a piston from it.
My cb400sf for an example is a 2011 special edition without ABS brakes, it has two 4 piston front rotors where as an ABS cb400 has two 3 piston front rotors meaning less stopping power but no chance of locking your wheel up.

In my honest opinion if you are going to drop your bike by locking up the brakes you should probably go down a nice quiet dirt road at 10kmh and keep locking that front brake up until you can do it without dropping the bike at 50km/h.

>>14022135
A Ptwin 500cc is very manageable, why else would they have them on the LAMS list.

>>14022134
Whats with Victorians and knowing it all?

>>14022132

>>14022135
Most of those are pretty gutless still, but I agree with >>14022141. Or an MC22.

>>14022143
>Most come with an ABS option
This isn't true though. ABS as an option hasn't been a thing on litre bikes for awhile now, (excluding the Fireblade), it's just how they are. Where have you been the last half decade? Litre bikes are pretty much electronic power houses nowadays.

>ABS to a brake caliper means removing a piston from it.

I bought a GV650 in December 2011. For the first 6 months it had a few little things (Fuel Injection light, surface rust appearing) but after that it earned its place as the worst vehicle I've ever owned.

I had 16 faults over a 12 month period, all of which required warranty replacement followed by 7 breakdowns due to the charging system. The towing involved in returning the vehicle to the dealership (Team Moto – Springwood) were not covered. As was two batteries which were deemed as consumables and did not fix the problem.

When I confronted Hyosung Australia they effectively told me to bugger off as I had no business relationship with them and to take it up with the dealership. 4 months of fighting them through the office of fair trading and I finally got rid of the thing (at a considerable financial loss).

Check out some of my vlogs at youtube.com/tontsekz/ – I documented all of the problems and progress with the whole legal dispute.

Stay away from Hyosung and stay away from Team Moto.

My understanding of the six pots (on my bike at least) is they're mainly there to get the pads further out so Yamaha could use a 310mm disc instead of a 320mm. It wasn't so much about increasing stopping power.

I won't complain on a bike with this much power though. Looking forward to remapping it, get that emissions shit out the throttle.

>tfw i sold my 1st dirt bike for a guitar when i was a kid.

turns out id rather have my PW80

Any one here who uses reflective helmet stickers? Where did you get them?

>>14022366
Stick with it anon, it's great fun. You're sounding good, just a bit stiff really. I'm learning how to play again at the moment. Had a brain hemorrhage when a car hit me and lost a lot of motor skills. Getting over bike anxiety too.

I did these a couple weeks ago.

>tfw stopped playing 3 years ago

now only thing left is an acoustic that I barely touch and in a recent band meetup I noticed I can't play guitar anymore except powerchords and slow solos

So it runs well with almost no coolant, dirty fuel stabilized gas and 0 degrees with windchill. Got home and could touch the engine without melting my skin.
Clearly carburetors are fine in the cold.

I just went with the virtual amp option, pirate positive grid bias, it's pretty good (soloing doesn't feel the same but it never does) assuming you have a way to get 1/4 inch into your computer already.

If you've got no money for decent guitar + amp, why not just get a functional guitar and software? better than nothing.

Anytime good sir

I'm on a PDI team. I get £130 in hand if I tell my manager I wanna work on a sunday. Most of the time I don't even commute on the SV, I get a Fiat 500 Abarth to test drive or worst case I take the Ducato (Company van). I've driven from London to Colchester in a 2.7 diesel I think it was Alfa Romeo Brera to try and force a regen and got put up in a nice hotel while I was working for the dealer, good shit. Not sure if I wanna leave it. My plan was to work there for two years, get my full bike license and work in a bike dealer in central london. I've got a level 3 qualification in motorcycle mechanics so all I have to do is get my full licence and I can get my motorcycle MOT licence at the same time. I like the perks of this job and all the nice cars and shit so I'll have to weigh it up against the bike dealer job.

>>14022868
Idk weekday most of that means, but if you enjoy it that's all that matters. I like boats so I work on boats. It's a decent life and keeps me from an office job. Spend my free time relaxing and riding my bikes.

Could always be worse.

>>14022904
*what, not weekday. Fail

>Ride my cbr600rr for a few weeks without touching my supermoto
>Take the supermoto out because it needed a run and I was neglecting it
>Have more fun in five minutes than I do in thirty minute plus rides on the cbr600rr

Pre Delivery Inspection. Example, I get 20 Fiat 500s come off a truck. I check they start, drive them down a road, turn around, come back, and drive it across the road to the valet park where they'll shine it up and stick it in the showroom so the troglodytes of sales people can sell it to some 18 year old girl that thinks it's cute and gets daddy to pay for it. That same girl will think she's the shit while we're both at the lights and I take off on the SV. Then that same girl will cry when she has to fork out for an extortionate timing belt kit and water pump because 500s/Ford KAs/Alfa Mitos are all the same car and the TBK and WP need to be changed every 4/5 years/60k miles because the clutch fluid reservoir is located right above it and leaks fluid because of a shitty seal.

Sometimes I'll go to Nissan, Honda, Renault, but mainly the clusterfuck that is Fiat/Chrysler/Alfa/Jeep.

>>14022947
The only reason I would sell my supermofu would be if I wanted to buy a better one. I just need to ride it once to get rid of any desire to sell it.

if you're not having fun on a 600 you're doing it wrong

>>14022974
>having suspension

>>14022966
Oh definitely. I check they start, move, stop and the radio works. The only time we're rushed is twice a year when the new registrations come out. Other than that, I don't do fuck all except maybe change a few oils. The most we've done as a team is brake pads and discs all around.

I love when I get the test drives though. I did 150 in that Brera. My GFs parents met me the first time when I had that car. They still wonder why I turn up in a different thing every week. Car, luxury car, 4X4, bike. Shit I even picked my GF up once in the van. I got situated in a dealer near hers so I picked her up in the van, went for a meal then to mine. Shit was fun. Dropped her off before going back to that dealer the next morning at like 6am.

>>14022993
I still laugh about that situation. Imagine seeing a 19 year old, well I was 18 at that time, pull up in an all black 2007 Brera, then in a Van the next week. They must think I'm in some sort of organized crime or sell drugs or something.

Anyways, I'm off. I've got a Punto Grande sitting outside waiting for me to do a few handbrake turns, but really I'm on my way to play some tabletop games.

>>14022993
