could be a problem, my flatmate's clutch felt stiff and grind-ey, he didn't care but i dug a bit deeper and the cable wasnt sitting in the ...cable...hole...thing on the lever end properly, and was scraping against the tension-adjuster threads. re-jiggered it and its smooth as butter now.

the benefit is that you can craft an experience which supercedes that which nature has given us. let's outline a hypothetical, advanced AR helmet

>nanometer-thick coating on the inside of your visor displays a heads-up display with all pertinent information relating to the mechanical components of your motorcycle
>in addition, it calculates trajectories of objects in motion around you
>highlights potential dangers and identifies a precautionary route you can take to avoid it

>lasers read your eye movements and can access GUI's in movements faster than your hands ever could, allowing you to make calls, look up routes (with the assistance of integrated microphone)
>identifies potentially erratic drivers based on observed driving patterns you might have missed (weaving back and forth? might be drunk. speeding? could make a dangerous lane switch) in a 360 degree spectrum

That already exists by turning your head. The only way to get that without turning your head would to have something like a wide angle lense to cram a large FOV into a small FOV, which makes everything look way to far away.

>>14884539
SNEK? SNEK!? SNEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!

>>14884541
what a smart system would do is display hazards outside your immediate field of vision in an unobtrusive way -- maybe in the corner of the HUD. it would take some serious techno-wizardry to get humans' brains to natively understand having a 360 degree FOV

>>14884514
>Nigger, what part of "rear facing camera and speedometer" are you failing to process

>>14884553
but really now that i think about it if the system is perfect, you don't even personally need the 360 degree vision. you just need the system to be able to identify hazards and show you a path to take based on your reaction time. in the event that there's no path you can take it can just tell you that you're fucked and upload a video of you crabwalking naked with your penis in a dress to fagbook or something

>>14884574
>wide angle camera projected PIP style
that would be way to small to see anything more than 20 ft behind you. Just look at gopro footage. It has a camera FOV just slightly wider than normal, yet it's still almost impossible to look at things unless you're right up next to them.

>>14884531
or you could just ride your bike and enjoy the experience.

>>14884592
your visor isn't physically large, but think of how big it seems when you have your helmet on. think of how little you really need to use the absolute bottom corners of your helmet to maintain a safe view of the road. you could probably give up quite a big portion of that safely, or if necessary, re-engineer helmets to give more screen space.

I'm less than 3 seconds away from this road sign, and you can't even read it because the wide angle lens makes it so small. Even if you move close to your big ass computer screen it will still be hard to see it. Now imagine that being projected onto a tiny little frame so close to your eye you can't even focus on it. You definitely won't be able to read it. However when just looking at it directly with your eyes from that distance it would appear perfectly fine.

Wide angle lenses are shit and can never work nearly as well as a human eye.

Your anecdote is nice, but it is proven to significantly increase your visibility and decrease your risk of crashing.
Hurt report:
>14. Conspicuity of the motorcycle is a critical factor in the multiple vehicle accidents, and accident involvement is significantly reduced by the use of motorcycle headlamps (on in daylight) and the wearing of high visibility yellow, orange or bright red jackets.

basically. as I already suggested, hyperlites are good if you want people to actually notice you braking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TV1M3sYN5Eg

the hurt report is more than 30 years old champ. i'd never argue that you shouldn't have your headlight on, however the findings are basically anecdotal from interviews of riders who 1) haven't crashed saying they wear hi-viz and 2) old ladies who ran off bikers not wearing hi-viz reporting they never saw them.

i'm not suggesting more visibility hurts, i'm just saying in all my riding the best way to avoid an accident is proactive defense ie ASSUME that the fucktard at the T-intersection is going to pull out. To each their own.

Mine is new, so I can't say just yet. I've heard a lot of mixed reviews, but the consensus from owners has been that the newer models from 2009 on, especially those made within the last couple of years, are quite durable. They're not on par with Japanese bikes, but you don't have to worry about constant breakdowns any more.

I've found a lot of the "bad rep" rumors about Royal Enfield to have been untrue or misleading. Mine is still at least two-thousand miles from being broke in, but the vibrations I get at 70mph are minor. It's an incredibly steady and well-balanced little bike, accelerates fast enough to throw me far ahead of traffic, and can keep up and pass at reasonable speeds without any hiccups. On top of that, it's very noticeable - I got a couple of compliments from college students while I was stopped at some signs and lights driving around Michigan State University today.

Regardless of whether or not it holds up, they aren't very hard to fix and it's a joy to ride around country roads like no other. It works just fine on freeways and 55mph state stretches, but it's an absolute wonder out in the sticks.

I bought mine because I really couldn't see myself being happy right now with any other make and model. Driving my RE has just made me more confident that I made the right choice (plus, I have a mechanic within walking distance of my house, in case I do break down!).

I always understood high-vis gear to be useless in the daytime and little help at night compared to brighter head/taillights and maybe lights on the chassis of the motorcycle. Is that "wrong"?

That thought process came from reading things like this:

>I Didn't See You
"Most of the high-mileage riding friends I know roll their eyes at the conspicuity stuff. 'Friends don't let friends wear pink vests,' they would sneer. Perhaps the veterans have a more realistic understanding of the I-didn't-see-you myth. Conspicuity devices are based on the assumption that the other guy will get out of your way if he can only see you. The veterans know that avoiding collisions depends on being prepared to get out of the way of the other guy, whether he sees you or not.

Inattentional Blindness
>Psychology research has uncovered an interesting phenomenon that relates to the I-didn't-see-you excuse. It seems that humans are subjected to so much incoming information that one part of the brain serves as sort of a subconscious mental "spam filter." The filter passes on to the conscious part of the brain only information that corresponds to what the person is concerned about, or what the psychologists call attending to. The flipside of that is that if the driver is not concerned about something (say, motorcycles), the spam filter may delete the image. So it really can be true that a driver looks right at you and sees you, but your image gets filtered out and never gets to the conscious part of the driver's brain. That would explain how a driver might not comprehend a motorcyclist wearing a high-visibility jacket and the bike flashing its headlight - or, for that matter, a freight train with a flashing headlight and blaring air horn.

I'll also add that the awestruck looks of Indian immigrants make the Royal Enfield worth the $5,000. The Bullet 500 in particular is a huge favorite over in South Asia (I have a C5) but is rare enough here in the States that I've never seen another Enfield on the road, ever.

I'm commuting to work on my RE. Some Indian guy almost ran into a pole while staring.

Any recommendations on leather jackets? I only have a textile right now but I really want/need a leather one.

Right now I'm looking at the Dainese Racing D1 perforated leather jacket.

It might be overkill and it isnt cheap ($600) but I know I'd be getting a quality jacket. The biggest thing that has me hesitant is that I assume this is molded for being crouched down on a sport bike and I ride a Husa fs570

I'm not even really frustrated with it for needing repairs. I knew the air box was cracked before I bought it, and the bearings are no big deal. They've gone way past the normal service life for a dirt bike anyway.

My opinion on big bikes for beginners is always the same, if you have a decent guide, and a decent knowledge of manual transmissions, you'll be fine. That does however, factor in that you're tall enough to reach the ground with both feet. But if you're tall enough, have a guide, and know how to take off, there's literally no problem. You'll just learn, maybe wear the clutch a bit, and be cautious just like you would in a powerful car you're not accustomed to.

Nope, but I've heard plenty about it. I travel internationally a lot but have completely neglected "Up North" for the past three or four years. I'm dying to head up that way over the summer, for a bike trip as well as camping and fishing.

oh. I've been wanting mirrors that fold away from danger (like this) but don't vibrate like hell.
>procycle listed these as a "Better" folding mirror, saying it was similar to the KTM OEM mirrors.
>it's just a plastic piece of shit that they marked up the price on. They didn't list a brand but when I got them the sticker said DRC off-road mirror. I looked it up and they sell for $17, not the $30 that Procycle charged me.
>they vibrate like hell and are flimsy as shit

Fuuuuuuuck why can't I just get some good dual sport mirrors?

Never mess with ex's. I made that mistake when I had her in one of my college classes, that shit blow up so god damn fast. All I tried to do was be nice. She fucked up her relationship at that time in the process of starting something, and tried to stir up shit with my relationship. Women are psychotic, don't put yourself in that situation.

>>14885402
No woman is ever worth ruining a helpless and innocent baiku.
I separated from my wife a while ago, thought about blowing my brains out for a while, nearly did it winter of 2014. Where I am now I see how ridiculous that was. She wasn't worth it. I went through a brief phase a couple weeks ago where I really missed her, couldn't quit thinking about her when I beat off, and it was really getting to me. Then I remembered what a train wreck of a person she was. Problem solved.

>>14885414
I still can't make it through a whole day without thinking about her, but I'm not horribly depressed anymore. Time heals all wounds. Motorcycles help too.

>>14885398

Not planning on it. She's from India but is going to graduate school on the East Coast now. I'm not even sure why she's been messaging me - started a week or so back when she apologized for her role in our break-up. Just told me she missed my dog and that I should bring her out East some time.

Thing is, she has a boyfriend who she spends an ass-ton of money flying to Europe to visit, so I dunno what's up.

Probably nothing, but I"m not going to find out anyway.

Exactly.

I learned on a minsk like 150-250 1 cylinder when I was 18 just the basics. Didn't ride again till I was like 22. Next thing I rode was my buddy's over boosted Kawasaki Turbo gpz750 putting down like 160.

Also accidentally ran from the cops, but neither here nor there. People can handle a big bike.

>>14885405
It's neat and all to start on something little, if you have confidence issues, but if you're a good driver you should be issue free. Remember, bikes these days are OBDII, they go from 1%throttle, all the way up to 100%. Just use the little numbers, then ease up to the big ones. It's not the old days where throttles stepped from 0 to 20 to 60 to 100 with no in between.

Nice.
Tell me about that BMW, anon. I want to buy one in a couple years. I've been reading a ton about them, watched a couple youtube series of people doing huge touring rides on them, stuff like that.
Hows the suspension, hows the power delivery, hows the weight feel off road?

>>14885444

Like I said, not planning to. I've been with my girlfriend for two years and she's just too good to mess up with.

>>14885500

>>14885511
Damn that sucks, at least you've got friends who ride tho.

>>14885519
>>14885519

No, bro, I don't have any friends who ride. I'm the so-called "risk-taker" in my group, in that I've been to some fucked up places overseas and have a motorcycle. Most of my buddies are kind of boring, to be honest.

Please, elaborate as to what the meating room is, while I get a beer from the corner store. Yes, the 800 is pretty solid. Am 6'1 n 195, does not feel sluggish in the least. Haven't gone on too many trails because Detroit but the few I have been on responded so much more favorably than the Buell. /dbt/ what kind of beer should I purchase?

I haven't had any in a couple years now. Its easily one of my favorites.
I used to live like a half mile away from a really, really nice liquor store. I was so spoiled. So much craft beer, so many different kinds of whiskey. No stores around my place now have even 1/4 of the selection, and I live in an upper class area now.

I've found that the 10 year Ancient Age is pretty spectacular however.


>>14885608
You'll do fine. The course is a lot of fun, and if you watch Twist of the Wrist you'll know most of everything you're about to hear in the course. Its a great primer no matter what level of rider you are. Just don't over think things and psych yourself out.

>>14885620
Booker's is great, but I said bang for buck. Bulleit is half the price, and still excellent.
