So, I decided that I my next bike will be a KTM Freeride R 250, and putting a mirror on it to make it street legal. Hopefully the price drops on them in the next year. Really don't want to spend 8k on one but I will if I have to.

>>15392705
where do you live that a mirror=street legal?

>>15392710

All you need is headlight, taillight, and a left mirror

Ok summerfriend :)

>>15392740
ahhhh not the ones for like bicycles, no. But the free ride comes with a headlight, tail light, and horn. so all I would have to do is put a fuckin mirror on and its street legal. I don't know if you should ride it street, but if you change the gearing on it, then it shouldn't be too bad.

>have only nobike friends and a few bikes
>trying to turn nobikes into hasbikes

should i sell it? should i teach the nobikes on it?

I hope you want it to be street legal so you can legally cross the road to the next trail, and not so you can actually ride it on the road. The Freeride is made with slow, technical maneuvering in mind and not cruising down the street.

What does brexit mean for motorcycling in the UK?
Will we finally be rid of the rigmarole of the EU licensing structure? Or will they just keep it the same?
If we are no longer subject to EU emission and noise regulations will manufacturers make bikes specifically for the UK market?
Man, thinking about this stuff makes me realise how fucking complicated leaving the EU is actually going to be, some poor bastards actually need to sit down and sort all this shit out.

>>15393466
>Or will they just keep it the same?
Most likely.

>will manufacturers make bikes specifically for the UK market?
No.

>>15393482
And the gladius was a slightly restyled sv650
Ok, bit more than that, it had a pipe frame instead of beams, was heavier, but the issue with the gladius was not that it's a shit bike, because it's not bad at all, but because it was hideous and expensive, and the al7 fixes both glaring issues and therefore it's alright. It's fine. What do you want from me I am a banana.
You can't really say more than "it's alright" about the SV because being mediocre is part of its identity. It's a modern day UJM, and if it starts evolving too far into being sporty or comfy, it'll lose the handling, low price, comfort, or all three.
The only thing unique about an SV is the motor

>>15393466
>Will we finally be rid of the rigmarole of the EU licensing structure? Or will they just keep it the same?
They'll keep it the same. The DVLA played a big part in actually devising that system. Plus, manufacturers like it because it creates a tiered system and forces people to buy more bikes overtime than they might otherwise.

We aren't going to escape Euro4 emission regulations. We might dodge Euro5.
Will manufacturers make non euro5 bikes specifically for the UK? Unlikely, given that we will still be geographically in the EU and probably still part of the single-market.
Don't expect anything to change, and if it will change, it will be far in the future.
You can look forward to it probably being more complicated and expensive to go touring in Europe, that's about it.

>>15393466
>Man, thinking about this stuff makes me realise how fucking complicated leaving the EU is actually going to be, some poor bastards actually need to sit down and sort all this shit out.
LOL. It effectively require rewriting all the laws on the books that are based on EU legislation. And because Parliment is too lazy to sit continuously in session for the next few decades to review all that legislation, we're going to end up with a massive amount of laws rewritted with no oversight by civil servants.

So yes, leaving the EU de-facto means bringing into power laws written by ACTUAL unelected officials, rather than the EU laws which DID pass through the European Parliament as well as the UK parliament (contrary to the Leave campaign's ramblings).

>>15393521
>You can look forward to it probably being more complicated and expensive to go touring in Europe, that's about it.

Worst thing.
We might not get AT anon at next sem either.

>>15393525
>DID pass through the European Parliament
MEPs can't vote against legislation, nor can they forward legislation, or repeal it.
And UK MPs cannot block EU legislation. They do not vote on it.

The European Parliament does not have Right of Initiative (i.e. cannot propose laws), but laws DO pass through it. The European Comission generates proposal, but they have to be approved by both the Eurpoean Council AND the European Parliament before they become law.

I was wondering what types of bags people use for riding? Right now I'm rocking a fanny pack to carry my phone/wallet/etc since I have tiny lady pockets that don't don't fit anything.

>>15393625
I'm getting mine done at a tire place as opposed to a bike dealership so I'm going to do wheel removal myself. Just not sure how much I need to take off the wheels. I'm guessing just the brake disc so it doesn't get damaged.

>>15393666
I'm also doing it at a tire place.
Just some guy working from a storage box, but I ride to his place and an hour later I can ride on with new tires.
Unless there is a Buell that needs its tires replaced like last time. Then I might have to wait two hours before my bike gets new tires.

>>15393673
I'm quite tempted to let them do it to be honest. I'll have to learn eventually though so I might as well give it a bash.

yes you can.
sometimes you have to demount the brake caliper to get some space, but it should work without taking it off at the front wheels.
may be difficult on rear

Lexmoto? Never heard of them. My 5 min. research says it's a Chinese brand and goes for 980 quid, which is really cheap for a 125cc scooter. So, the best of luck that it doesn't explode under your ass or something! Seriously though, have fun! This is coming from a fellow scooter rider btw. [image related]

Hey guys I have a little one on the way and I know it's going to be a while before I can get her on a bike but how old were you when you started? How old did you start your kids? I'm pretty much going to get her started on a PowerWheels as soon as she can reach the pegs. From there I was going to do a PW50 with training wheels. But I know it's up to how the kid feels about it all I just know with me riding I can probably get her interested in it at an early age

Think im finally gonna bite the bullet and take a Motorcycle Safety Training course before the end of summer, by the end of the year i want to buy my first bike (27th bday present to myself).

Would 5k be a decent budget?

This shop thats semi-local was recommended to me
http://eastbaymotorsports.com/Showroom/Pre-Owned-Inventory/Search/Condition/All?PriceHigh=5000

Im liking pic related,
Mind you im 5'9" 235lbs (fatty) and i plan to lose some weight.

How much should i invest in gear?

Once i get comfortable im going to start using it for commuting and gonna rig up a toolbox on the side for work tools

>>15393967

Don't skimp on gear, especially the helmet.

5k should be more than enough to get you gear and a nice bike.

>>15393961
5 is the typical age for pw50 these days. I don't even have memories from that age so I can't remember if I liked it, but I continued racing into my late teens just because it was normal. I didn't even truly realize the goal was to win until I was like 8 years old, so don't be surprised if they don't "get it" and you have to "force" them to ride there will be an age when they decide out right if they want to or not, but it wont be at age 5. most 5 year olds will be scared to ride, but they will do it for your approval anyway. maybe projecting here, but that was my experience.

Thanks for the input I was guessing 4-6. I started riding around 7 and I always thought it was a late start. The lady and I live on an acre and change so she'll have room to putt around and get used to the controls. My dad rode motorbikes and street bikes so I always remember wanting one and finally I got one when I was 7. I'd ride that thing from the moment I got off school until it got dark and I did so many chores for gas money. I don't intend her to race track unless if things start moving that way. There's a lot of good riding where I live I just remember going out riding with my dad from a young age and I hope I can start that tradition with my new family

5-6 without training wheels, I mean.

if you're going to start them earlier with training wheels, use a kill switch tether that you hold.

when you and I grew up 5-7 was normal, though. Now it's 2 year olds with training wheels. Most kids now are on fully built cobras by 6. It's a different world now, everyone wants their kid to be the next bubba stewart it's pretty retarded.

i wont ever ride with a normal backpack again.
the hype about kriega is real desu.

they do smaller variants. I think they even have a small messenger bag type thing.
expensive though.

>>15394058
Alright that's not a bad idea, I didn't even consider the kill switch. I was going to either put a throttle restrictor or a exhaust restrictor in too. I'm more inclined on the throttle one so I can give a little bit more as she gets more confident. The exhaust restrictor is just a large washer with a small hole that goes in between the exhaust pipe and the header pipe but it's either in or out. I refuse to let her ride an ATV though

>>15393961

I seem to remember I was about 3 when my dad first put me on a PW50. It's about as perfect as it gets for a young kid.

>>15394088

A comfy helmet goes a long way though. You'll be much more comfortable and concentrate better with a comfy, quiet helmet.

Also I'm not saying buy the most expensive helmet possible, more so don't go for the cheapest thing available.

See that's where I was getting confused it seems like they get on earlier and earlier where my one friend started at 5 and the others who I grew up with started 6-9. All I want is to be able to take her out for a day trip and let her scoot around. I remember when I raced for a bit there was like only 5 or so kids in the peewee class but now it does seem like kids are racing way earlier than it used to be
>>15394080
Thanks for the input. It really sounds like it's going to be all about how much she takes after me and wants to get on one which I think is going to come down to how much time I spend with her around bikes

Honestly it's what you make them like. Put your kid around bikes and show them how much you like them, and they will too.

>>15394094
a cheap but safe helmet with earplugs will always be quieter than an expensive and quiet one without earplugs
Personally I wouldn't spend extra money on a helmet just because it's quieter, there are good mid range helmets that are also comfy like the expensive ones but only a bit louder

>>15394216

>>15394104
It's because it used to be only PW and you had to wait till age 8 or so to move to the KX60/65.

But the KTM 50 and the Cobra 50, which are much better, came around and pushed the PW down to lower ages since the PW can't compete. In '97 or so they used to mix the KTM with the PW and it was a slaughter. A year later not a single kid at the track had a PW and thus it began.

Most kids will only be on a PW for as long as it takes them to learn the basics. After that it's a Cobra and then move up as height/weight allows.

Can you afford a new one? If so, just go to different dealerships and test-ride a couple of bikes and see what fits you best - there's no better way. That said, if you're really buying it for city riding only, get a scooter. They're way more practical and just as fast/fun (trust me on this), though you might have to deal with the stigma and a limited selection if you're American.
