So I know using an air compressor is the go to method for putting grips on.
but I don't have easy access to an air compressor that isn't a ~40min ride.
Could I use a can of those pressured canisters you use for cleaning electronics surely it would work the same.
And fuck the hair spray method

sell the car? negative. its the only car my dad's got, hes had it since i was 15 and ill be 26 on june 1st.....he's very frugal. 2002 camry 3.0L with 232k miles on the clock, yet hes a co-director of Embry Riddle in phoenix. maybe one day he'll get something deserving of his hard work

sell the bike? Fucking never. Its a 2004, I found/bought it on craigslist with exactly 4300 miles on it.....its like brand new still. perfect first bike for me, and the PO's son had fallen going about 10mph when turning on some gravel, got spooked and didnt wanna ride anymore.....so because of a crack and a couple chips in the front left fairing (see those stickers lol?) i got a smoking deal on it.

welp, it blue booked at 1700 in brand new 0 miles condition. i paid 1600 after negotiating - grand new tires, complete service records from Kelly's Kawasaki from new to now (oil changes, first valve adjustment), brand new coolant and oil, PO had replaced radiator hoses cuz of age, chain was still a tad wet from getting lubed (he forgot to tell me but i had noticed it and asked), he even showed me a video he recorded a week prior of him cleaning out the carbs and re-jetting them for az's elevation.

i think i gots me a good deal :x couldn't have been a better craigslist deal.......none of the typical not returning calls, bike looks nothing NEAR what it does in the ad, sketchy tweekers selling stolen shit. he bought me a temp pass so i could ride it home, had a bill of sale already made, and gave me oil/filter.

The way the interactions are done it almost seemed like Rin's dad was only seen by Rin or in her imagination. I was pretty drunk last night watching it.

Anyone else find it funny that Fuzzy is repping for a bike that is that small? I know she is the dirtbike rider but it seems odd when the comic makes fun of "little bikes"

u could just clean the carbs out/tune them/install new sparky plugs and put some fresh gas?

or are there more factors? genuinely curious. ive been a professional auto tech for a good while now, i have seen that sometimes the condition of a car can be GREAT but it's technology is older and thats why its a pigfart turd shitlord.......same concept with your bike?

still cant believe thats not a 250 lol.

I have a dilemma /dbt/ red pill me ..

I wanna buy a sports bike but there aren't many options around and the very few are not exactly what I have in mind (cruisers, or 800+ bikes)

First bike btw

Also I have been warned to not buy brand new, because I'll drop it, etc which doesn't seem so weird or unusual, if I do, I would put sliders on it and ofc get insurance

My best option so far as a mid ground on reliability, price, looks and decent power is a Honda CBR 250 R year 2016

Pls opinions?

2 times was practice but it wasn't stable so I opted for 2nd gear. Normally when I do that corner I am closer/in the right rpm range but the guy in front of me was holding me up and I wasn't confident in my ability to lean the 14 yet to pass at the pace the coach did so I just waited.

No. Low speed test.
Btw, I am a french fag, so I don't really know if what I will say apply to other Europe's countries.

So, after the low speed slalom, that I did a little to fast, getting me a B. I was like "Okay the harder is done for me, B is enough". So I relaxed a bit, knowing that the rest will be pretty easy.
When I took my passenger to finish the stage, in the final turn I put a foot on the floor because I was to slow this time. Giving me a second B and so a C.

hmm It DEFINITELY might be time to longpost about low speed control.

>>14963791
the #1 thing to remember about low speed control and drops in particular is that the amount of power you feed to the rear wheel will control your lean angle, if you feel you're going too slow and are going to drop it? Well the answer is obvious, let out some more clutch and the bike will pick itself up.

If you've got a 125 or whatever you can practice this now, go out to a parking lot, get a high idle, slip the clutch, cover that rear brake, turn your handlebars all the way until they're on lock and you're not capable of turning them in any harder and do donuts, just do circles as tight as you can, pretend your feet are glued to the pegs and when you feel like the bike is about to "drop" let out some more clutch and give some more power to the rear wheel and you will feel the bike pick up without taking your feet off the pegs, repeat this and you will retrain your brain to keep the feet on.

The thing is that i know that. But, the pressure and the excitation to final finish this bullshit, gave me a shitty reaction for countering the loss of balance. After i was angry at me to not have realesed the clutch or giving a little of gas.

>>14963854
No, only on closed a route.
Here the bike licence exams is sliced in two part. The first one is the Bike control outside the road. And the second part is driving around on the road, and see if you the driving theory.

It should, maybe I don't know, but it should definitively being cheaper. I paid 960 eurodollars the school. After my failure I paid 180€ only for being able the pass again the exam. And 110€, for 2h of practise.

I just made a weird observation:
While cleaning my wheels, I had the bike in neutral and the wheels turned too much, so I decided to put it into first gear to lock the wheel. Then, after I tried to turn the wheel in 1st with the clutch in, it was considerably harder to turn it than in neutral.

This isn't Normal, right? The wheel should turn just as easily in 1st with the clutch in as it does in neutral,afaik. Is my clutch fucked?
>>
>>14964123
no it's normal.
>>
>>14964114
Nah, binge watching Initial D last year got me to learn to drive.
>>
>>14964136
But how? Shouldn't the clutch be completely disengaged after I pull the lever, thus the wheel should be able to turn just as easily as in neutral. Or am I missing something?
>>
Because still trying to clean up horrible shit welds on my license plate relocation.

Turns out grinding and redrilling the slots the guy filled cracked the rest of the welds. It didn't break exactly, but squeeked and moved as well as having visible cracks.

I packed the whole thing with jb weld and it's drying now. It's just a pisser that I put all this effort into one piece and instead of a nice custom part in getting a ghetto rigged POS.

When the bike is in neutral, the output and input shafts of the transmission can rotate independently. So when you spin the wheel, you're spinning the wheel, sprockets, and output shaft of the transmission. When the bike is in gear though the two shafts of the transmission are connected, so the extra friction come from the fact that you're now trying to spin the wheel, sprockets, the input and output shafts, the clutch steels, and inner hub.

More moving parts = more friction

Here's a motorcycle tranny if you're having trouble visualizing the input and output shafts.

Did you read anything I just wrote? You're moving more things when in gear with the clutch in than you are when you're in neutral. You clearly don't understand how a transmission works.
>>
>>14964242
>but as I have said, CLUTCH PULLED IN
When it's in neutral you're spinning less than with the clutch pulled in okay?

Neutral spins up to the output shaft, pulling the clutch pulls everything up to the clutch.

Not worth the excess on an insurance claim (it's a CG125 so made of unbreakium, it landed on the wingmirror and all that happened was it bent the shaft.

I have a question. I'm wanting to get my motorcycle license. But I've never ridden one before. Concept doesn't seem hard and I've found a bike a like (Harley Davidson iron 883 as a starter) but I'm a bigger dude at 5'11" 260lbs. Would an 883 cc bike be a good starting point? Or do I need something bigge/smaller to get started?

You can shatter your knee tripping over something too, don't see anybody putting on impact resistant clothing while going out shopping do you? The risks are low at MSF, you don't need to shell out 300 dollars for some riding pants, 200 for a riding jacket, a 300-900 dollar helmet, 50 dollars gloves and 200 dollar riding boots for an MSF course, especially when most people spend months trying to find a nice bike after taking an MSF course.

Unless you're a complete sperg with no sense of coordination the MSF is the easiest thing in the world. I was scraping peg halfway through the first day.

of course you did
>>
>>14964535
For actual street riding I can understand wearing actual gear. I've never heard of an MSF course that let you on the streets though.
I don't think it's that dangerous if you've gotten to that point of the course. If you're still having control issues they usually pull you out for some remedial training and if you can't do it they're suppose to send you home.

Yeah, if you drink plenty of milk you'll have bones as strong as steel and as hard as diamond coated titanium.

>not picking up on the fact that the strength of your bones is irrelevant in this case where there damaging force is actually friction between your body and the tarmac, made worse by the fact that (in your fictional story at least) you've got a 200kg bike pressing down on your leg
But I suppose if you drink enough milk you will be able to resist having your flesh ground off, right?

Hey /dbt/,
Just got my bike a few days ago, but the front fairing is a little fucked up. Some cracks and scratches that can't be buffed out and repainted. Also one of the cargo racks it broken off. I can't find a single place online that sells anything like these parts. Any "parts warehouses" online just sell bolts and windscreens and shit, none sell actual legitamate replacement parts. Are there other places I could look for replacement parts? I live in the eastern US, so US sites would be better than international.
>>

I didn't break bones but i did get a 3rd degree burn.
Don't assume i'm superman or some shit.

Yea, instead you just have to ride 125cc bikes until big brother allows you to get on something bigger. Unless you're a pajeet, in which case all you can afford is a 125cc to ferry your entire 15 person family around(plus the weight of a 125 is helpful to maneuver around all the shit in the streets).

also, why not just take the tape off?
my understanding of it is that rally racers tape headlights to prevent glass from going all over the course when they frequently smash them. I guess some kind of aesthetic following developed afterwards

But, if you aren't doing any competitive driving, doesn't the tape just limit the effectiveness of your light?
