Anyone who rides a 2t knows to take oil with them. I can hide it in my airbox so I don't even need a backpack.

My mount is a rubber waterproof phone case that physically clips in to just a little ring around the handlebars and it works perfectly, so much more low tech than a ram mount, waterproof and only cost me 20 bucks.

I believe they're meant for bicycles but w/e

>>15378418
I'm assuming it's tethered but hitting your tank still can't be good for it.

Anyone have personal experience with ram/any other brand of phone mounts?

You're an idiot. You can get gear that flows well and then stay hydrated. I've had no issues in high heat, high humidity days. I keep a small lunchbox with those reusable ice packs and some gatorades and some waters in it.
If you can't handle the heat don't ride.

how much perforation do your leathers have? I'm not the fittest bloke but had no trouble on a 38 c day wearing the full suit, just had to drink a lot of water.

Wear one of those free-flowing sports shirts underneath it and the wind will come through fine.

>>15378679
Helmets suck.
But they are so comfy. It's so quiet in a helmet. The bugs don't get in face and get destroyed by a screen. It's like a force field against bugs.

Would never wear a helmet only for safety.

>>15378713
The helmet is part of the "look". You put it on and the rest of your gear and when everything matches, from the colors and design, you can't help but feel totally badass.

Sure, if I don't have leathers on I can't point my knee and lower half out and it messes with your body position.

The moment I got leathers and wasn't afraid of banging my kevlar jeans on road reflectors anymore my body position kind of just snapped into place, still working on fixing it up obviously. (I'm gonna try and get into the elbow connected to knee thing most racers do) but it helps a lot and it immediately makes sense why people started sticking their knees out in the first place.

No leathers are not as comfortable as riding without them, they never will be but for any spirited riding I'd like to have them even if I wasn't scraping because I mean, you don't decide when to crash.

Bikes for short motherfuckers? I have about a 28" inseam. The only bike I've been on is my uncle's Vulcan 1500, and I have difficulty mounting and dismounting it. Looking for a cruiser or standard that I can slap saddlebags on and use for commuting. Some highway use.

>>15378834
oh my bad, the full one piece thing was just because I found 2 pieces in my budgetary range rather uncomfortable and I had been advised by some people in the know that one piece is the way to go.

That suit came up for like 350 dollars off at the local brick and mortar so I just jumped on it.

I will say it's a little bit inconvenient when you're stopping for a drink to do the "one piece dance" and get the top half off while you're sitting but I really didn't like the zipper seams to connect the lowers the uppers on the 2 pieces.

After 5 years of riding in a leather jacket.

I said fuck it, and bought a mesh jacket with armor in it.

If I crash, it's gonna be on gravel in a corner at low speed, or getting rear ended at a stop light. I'll take the risk.

I have body armor and a jersey for dirt riding now.

Pretty sure I'm on the terror watch list now. I was exploring the roads near the army base and airport and ended up taking a bunch of roads that led into the base. Pulled a u-turn just before the guard shack each time then got on the road that runs behind the airport.

Sidenote: anyone else psyc themselves out going into a curve by glancing down at the speedometer an suddenly think you are going too fast for the curve? If I don't look down I seem to have a shit-ton more confidence with the curve.

Smashed my knee cap into the ground while riding today at about 180km/h... i think its torn off fuck it hurts, cant bend my knee or anything

Around here wearing leathers even if you're not scraping knee is seen as rather normal.

But in general I don't look down, the 11/10 masterpiece movie "biker boyz" should have taught you that.

I know. That engine is known as the RFS or Racing Four Stroke and was used up until 2007.

>pigfat, but they have this weird gyroscope thing going for them, easiest bike to balance while sitting still on.
I don't get how though. The crank and gears all still rotate in the same direction. It's just the piston oscillating horizontally instead of vertically. How does that make it easier to balance?

You are both shitlords lets be honest, Alloy framed bikes snap below the fuel tank, steel framed bikes snap the triple clamps because its high speed steel vs alloy, its not rocket science.
as far as snapping bikes goes in the first place it takes a hell of a lot to actually do it,
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmHeqCm0RsE
likely more than just the triple clamps that are going to be fucked if you stacked hard enough to snap the bike.

but why? ive thought about getting one. the dr650 and klr650 are too heavy and the klr650 is also really underpowered.
the drz400's here go for like 2000-2500 for a dirt one and like 3500 for a supermoto. I dont think its that bad. Id get a dirt model though cause i live on 10 miles of gravel and theres a couple dirt roads that would be shortcuts for me to work

i think the drz fills a good niche between the expensive and high maintenance ktms, huskys, aprilias, and ducati enduros/supermotos and the big heavy klrs/dr's,or underpowered smaller 200s/250s. though the wr250x is pretty tits but those things go for way too much

How is the WR? A friend of mine has one and it seems cool but I when I see it get flashbacks to a high-strung but unreliable CRF450X I used to have. Can you beat on the WR like a DRZ or will you have to adjust the valves every other ride like the Honda?

>>15379899
Nah its just Hondas that are shit bikes as far as valves go, really if you own a honda mx/enduro bike you should be putting stainless steel valves in it.

>>15379903
The bike was just too "race" for me. Valves wore too fast, if it idled it would overheat and boil over, the header would glow red, if you killed it, good luck starting it because the stock battery would never start it and the hot start did fuck all, and I ended up having fork issues before I traded it for a KTM 200EXC. Yes, I could have solved these issues on my own but it was a completely stock bike and I expected it to be fine from the factory. I still like the idea of a high-powered 4-stroke trail bike but I sacrificed too much convenience. Maybe I'm just lazy though

drag your legs behind the bike if you are having problems finding the blance point, that way if you go over you just walk behind the bike, do that in 1st and 2nd gear until you master knowing where the balance is then start putting your brake leg up on the peg and work your way from there, thats how i learned to willy.

Why is there practically no market for small i3/4 supersports? I was just riding my bike (675) and thinking about how rarely I get to pin it wide open, which made me think how much fun a bike with half the horsepower and the same power band and handling characteristics would be for riding on the road.

a cool keychain that says blazeit420swagyolo

>>15380056
I thought of that but I would have to get blinkers, a horn, and a mirror too, which isn't that bad but I don't know if I could stand riding a 200 2-stroke on the street every day. I feel like it would get old fast. MAYBE if it had oil injection haha

Brake disc lock, one of those coasters for your kickstand, extra levers (if dirt bike), some awesome stickers.

Because the rules changed.
your best bet if you want a new bike is to get a cb400sf/gsr400 and strip it down.

>>15380069

600s don't even sell, the 675 is on it's last legs.

>By Triumph’s own admittance, the latest incarnation of the Daytona – which now enters its fourth year unchanged – simply wouldn’t have gone ahead if the factory predicted the dire state of 600 supersport sales of recent years.

What makes you think the market will accept something even smaller? everybody loves the MC22s here but that's because you can pick them up for 3 grand and ride them on your P plates.

I doubt they'd be much cheaper than a 600 to make it enticing either, hell for a while here you could pick up GSX-R600s for 12k flat (same price as the MT-09 here).

I actually initially wanted a CBR250RR but being 6'2+ I begrudgingly had to let that idea go.

You mentioned you had a street bike so I figured the SM wouldn't be your daily. I agree that dailying a 2t without injection would be pretty shit

>>15380055
similar, but mine ended badly.

How many of you have phone mounts for navigation?

I don't trust them to properly hold my phone.
I'm looking into getting a used smartwatch. Something like an old Moto 360

>>15380100
So what are people buying, if the 600 is a non seller?

>>15380125
Just get a Garmin Montana

this is the most robust one I've ever seen, brand is interphone. It has a mount to let it fit on any bike too

>>15380128
Liters, 250s, and nakeds.

>>15380103
I mean, if I had a nice SM I would probably daily the fuck out of it. I'm happy with stuff right now though, unless I sell something I probably won't get another any time soon. Shit I'll probably just end up with an FZ-09 once I get money. Throw a V-Max in there too, they handle like ass but damn that V4 has balls

>>15380101
What else am I supposed to do when I want to ride and im lit af?

>>15380100
thats mainly because of the new lams laws, wait 1 more year and people will be buying thousands of 600's

>>15380130
I'd like it to do a little more than JUST navigation. My friend has the one I mentioned and I like the idea of a pipboy watch face

>>15380138
I have a handlebar mount for my Roam camera but I'm not interesting enough to make webms dank enough

>>15380128
liters and upper middleweights, ask BMW. It's why they've been making a thousand since 2009 but have no plans to make a 600.

>>15380005
That's because GS500's are good beginner bikes.
