God DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN.

Should I take an MSF course before I turn 21 and get a license, or would it be easier to get the license after I turn 21?

Never buy a drift camera guys.

>>14878305
You get a discount if you do it before you're 21, at least in California. The only restrictions is no freeway riding and no night riding.

>>14878291
Fucking dogs. Scum of the earth.

>>14878313
will those restrictions be lifted automatically after I turn 21?
Or do I have to do some extra stuff down the line?

>>14878322
They're automatically lifted when you're 21.

I was asking about cornering and braking during a turn last night, and someone linked a 90 minute video about it last night. I watched the whole thing.

Tonight I rode on the edge of my tire for the first time.

Felt so good. I know a crapton of you do that like it's nothing, but I don't care. Thanks /dbt/.

There's seriously no reason not to take an MSF course. You learn a lot.

>but it's expensive!
So are motorcycles.

>>14878322
Course is pretty good. Took one myself, you don't have to do the DMV riding test if you pass the course on top of it. If you've never ridden before, it'll also really help you get the basics down so you're not stalling out at stop signs and shit. Overall, I'd recommend it for sure. Also helps on insurance rates a bit, and if you buy from a dealership, they may give a discount as well.

>>14878348
You should absolutely trust yourself to a twig of a rear axle.

>>14878642
Personally, i like it. Sounds pretty nice all in all. But again, I don't have much to compare it to unless I wanna compare it to my cousins straight pipes on his Harley. Fuck I hate the way that thing sounds.
And sure man, I could go for a ride in a bit to give you a bit of the sound if you don't mind hearing it through a shitty phone mic.

>>14878655
MSF taught me something about that, though there is the implicit assumption that you notice the dog first. Slow down, wait until the dog is close enough and ready to bite, then accelerate. Catches them off guard and keeps you from spilling out like that. Though in that case, I think it was just a stupid dog who panicked and tried to run home.

after this the road opens up into the most amazing 50+mph sweepers for what seems like forever.

i left home sitting upright and going the speed limit and blasted back into the city doing 30 over, hanging off the side of the bike with one hand on the controls in rush hour traffic. fun ride, friends. i'm tired af

Most would say try to get used, and it occurred to me why. Owning a new ~300cc bike is going to get pretty boring for you once you learn more about riding. Not saying it's bad, but for a new bike I'd like at least the power of a 600~750cc bike.

why is utah such a mecca for literally all outdoor sports? if there's something you can do outdoors, utah provides for it as well as any place in the world -- except extreme-altitude mountaineering. but unless you're dead set on trying to haul around an oxygen tank, utah has you covered for that too, only minus the extreme altitudes.

only catch is it's infested by mormons.

v-strom is more capable and sturdy off-road, but the versys is more planted for street shit and substantially lighter as well.

>>14879099
If you're talking about when you are riding on the finger part I didn't think that was as bad as the very beginning when you drop in, there's another trail called Grafton Mesa near there that's similar, you sit at the top then drop in and there's a crazy sheer drop, but after you get moving you stop thinking about it and just focus on riding. You would get worked anywhere on either trail if you went off.

versys because it is just an amazingly capable platform for anything you would ever ask of it on the street. more than enough power without being overbearing, eminently flickable even at highway speeds, and unflinchingly composed in the corners. rides like a bike 200 pounds less than it is. due disclosure, i own a versys and shill for it unrelentingly -- but only because it is an amazing bike. i don't know anything about derestriction because i come from the land of the free.

Motorcycles can be a slippery slope

Hey guys, I've been wanting to get a dual sport so bad. More specifically the klr650.

However, I am only 5'7 with 30 inch inseam. The highest I've ridden was a 32.6 inch seam on an r6 and I learned how to tippietoe just fine or lean and flat foot with one foot.

I could probably ride the klr650 and just avoid stopping or flatfoot if I basically hanged my ass off it at stops. However there is always those sketchy situations where the slope causes your feet to not touch the ground.

Thoughts?

>>14879424
i live in an area with one of the highest costs of living in the world. everything i pay is more or less par for the course and ironically $285/mo is extremely competitive. my next cheapest alternative which is two blocks away is $400/mo for a motorcycle parking spot. no cameras, no gate, no parking attendant. my garage at least has a gate and one solitary camera watching the entrance.

they look very utilitarian in black, and in brown as well when you beat the shit out of them. protection is actually pretty decent -- they're made from thick ass leather. only thing you lack is ankle protection but who needs ankles anyway. also just put the song on and forget about it. you'll get it

>94 Ninja 250
>100/80R16 Michelin CityGrip tire

I can't get the fucker to seat on the bead. I've tried greasing the rim with silicone grease, I've tried hitting it with a hammer, I've taken it up to 75psi, I've taken the bike up to 70mph. There's one spot where it just won't bead up. Causes a hell of a vertical vibration on the bike.

Help, please?

In Georgia, it tends to be orange. Pedantry aside, I assumed he'd washed it in a yard that was at least semi-grassy.

he's too poor to eat properly and went color blind.

That makes sense then.

I'm still pretty bad at understanding the camera.

I tried to adjust the ISO but I wasn't sure if I wanted more or less, so I went back to auto.

less.

Night photography rule #1.

Tripod always.

Iso at rock bottom (100 in my case).

then use long exposures to get the exposure you want.

the 300 EXC I rode had such a poorly maintained front brake that bringing it all the way in to the grips wouldn't stoppie.

Which is funny because all the new KTMs I rode had stupid front brakes, even the EXC (not SMC) front brake will 2 finger stoppie with ease.

he rides it like a segway, would do the whole length of the practice area standing bolt upright looking relaxed.

Where do I adjust exposure on the camera?

I wanted to set ISO low, but the sample pictures showed a daytime cityscape for low ISO, and then aurora borealis for high ISO, so it threw me off.

>ISO rock bottom
No, it will look grainy. You have to experiment to find the right ISO setting.

Does that retarded 25 year import rule extend to motorcycles?

>25 year import rule
>No person shall import a motor vehicle or item of motor vehicle equipment into the United States unless, at the time it is offered for importation, its importer files a declaration, in duplicate, which declares one of the following:

>motor vehicle

seems pretty exhaustive to me

it depends on the camera, the native ISO on my camera is rock bottom though.

I understand during especially long exposures sensor noise can be a problem but you don't really often require more than 10 seconds if you're in the city somewhere.

Not at all surprised you're on 4chan, Foreskin.

Yes, you with the sv650 who posts on SR as if he's actually liked.

What program are you using for this? I don't get how to make the editing leap to that quality.

nik collection + some manual dodge + burn in photoshop.

They made the nik collection free a few weeks ago so there's no excuse not to get it, I think most of it is pretty useless but the "detail extractor" in "colour efex 4" is the most powerful clarity tool I've ever used in any photography program, it shits all over the clarity slider in lightroom and phase one.

I will have to try that. Thanks for >>14879962
