>>16098412

>>16098410
Should be. People got into trouble because employees from that one company that sent out cease and desist letters hopped on trackers and noted down IP addresses. Torrent sites have dwindled in popularity (what with kat and tpb being unusable for a while) and at least back then they only seemed to monitor torrents for recent movies and top 40 charts music etc. MotoGP should be pretty low risk. If you're paranoid, get a VPN, use private trackers or don't use torrents. And I'll sound like a cunt because of this but: don't seed popular torrents, just leech and get off the tracker ASAP to lower the risk of being caught. Only seed obscure shit.

So, I've been thinking about buying a new bike for next season, I've had a year on my 250, I'm getting a bit tired of it. Primarily because I want a cruiser, and also the thing is not in great condition and does not run very well.

I really fucking love the Indian Scouts, they are beautiful bikes. Could I handle an Indian Scout sixty after a year on a 250?

Don't worry about it man.

I have many people who I consider "friends" and a handful of "very good friends" who would drop everything and do just about anything to help me out if I really needed it, and I'd do the same for them.

I'm dating this chick who's head over heels for me. She wants to be around me as much as possible, texts me good morning and goodnight and just randomly throughout the day when we're apart, comes to me for advice on things when she's feeling overwhelmed, etc. When we're alone she'll do pretty much anything I want to do sexually and has told me that I don't even have to ask, just do whatever I want with her because my dick "is always welcome in her".

I'm an only child and my parents provided me with a great home life growing up and have always been supportive of anything I've ever set out to do since graduating high school.

Despite all of that I still feel like killing myself multiple times pretty much every day. There are plenty of people with much shittier lives than mine who don't have compulsive thoughts of suicide daily, mental illness is something that comes from within and is only marginally affected by external factors.

>>16098966
I understand what you are saying, but at the same time that mentality itself is a fashion statement. Since riding a motorcycle in itself is a very dangerous thing to do. You should just not ride if you are that concern about safety.

>>16098638
I'm sure you can handle it. There is always a little awkwardness going from one bike to another, but the Scout should be very relaxed. Indians seem like really nice bikes. From what I understand a lot of Indian owners are disgruntled Harley owners.

mechanical help please bros

So my downpipes were rusted to shit and had huge holes, so i bought some nice shiny new ones, fitted them all correctly (i think), replaced the exhaust gaskets (there actually weren't any used with the original rusted set). Reassembled the bike, started it up. Big change in the sound and volume of the engine, the tone is deeper and quieter.

Onto the problem - bike idles fine, choke on or off. As soon as I even touch the throttle the engine cuts out? literally it doesn't even rev at all, any throttle at all and the engine dies. revs climbed normally when I put the choke on? I initially thought it might be a kickstand switch thing so i sat on the bike with the kickstand up, but the issue remains.

carbs. Before the downpipe change it was absolutely perfect, I rode it earlier today and there were no issues whatsoever. Presumably I fucked up somewhere putting the new pipes in / reassembling everything? I didnt go anywhere near the carbs... Took fairings off and unmounted radiator so I could get at the exhaust port bolts, removed bolts and downpipes. Replaced pipes and replaced bolts, put rad back on, fairings? ANd now this throttle problem?

>>16099168
new pipe needs a retune on carbs

>>16099168
New pipes changed the flow of the engine. Carbs were presumably tuned for old shitty pipes. Retune carbs and post back.

Don't be a pussy. I lane split on a cruiser with ease. A little vroom vroom and the middle of the lane opens up like Moses parting the red sea.

Whats the point of the rear pegs if you only have one seat?

>>16098471
i wonder how a professionnal rider like Rossi or Marquez would do on the H2R in term of lap time with the proper suspensions setting and slick...

>>16099361
It folds but I like to leave it like that. Also have the passenger pillion, just not installed atm.

>>16099288
That was awesome.

>>16099368
Probably slower than the race bikes, and faster than street bikes.

I just went out and checked my battery on my bike, its 100% dead, have I ruined it? It seems like its taking a charge now, but is it going to shit out on me again first time I ride and turn my bike off?

>>16099378
Of course slower than the race bikes, but i've seen a video of Rossi riding the new R1M (with probably slick) and he's at barely 4sec from the best lap times in WBSK, so imagine with a 326hp beast + slick + proper suspensions setting...
I think it'd be interesting to watch

Let me ask you guys something: how mad does this make you?

I rode my straight piped GSXR today to the town hall and voted for Trump. Then I also voted NO for marijuana legalization.

I smoked a camel crush and then went home.

>>16099368
probably not that well because it's ludicrously overweight compared to a motoGP or WSBK bike.

The stripped back H2R version weighs 215 kg wet according to kawi, it also doesn't have that much cornering clearance next to a motoGP bike.

Anyway, they made a race bike with H2R power in a straight line, it's called the GP16 and it's gone 361 km/hr down the straights.

>>16099392
Don't really care cause pot is already legal in my state, and Trump has no chance of winning.

>>16099392

You rode a straight pipe gsxr on the street

yeah i thought about the weight of course, it's like..50 or 60kg heavier than a motogp racebike wich is a fucking lot, but still, could it be faster than a R1M for exemple ? How would the H2r do against WBSK lap times ?

So some chink sold me a shit rearset that wasn't the same as pictured in the listing and only fitted one side of the bike (rear brake rearset won't fit at all)
I asked for a return and the guy wants me to send it all the way back to China

So my questions are: Would I lose money through having to pay postage? & Am I able to open a case with ebay to force him to refund without shipping it back?

he made up some shit that he downshifted and lost control of the bike and the cops said, "yeah that makes sense." i wasn't there but he said he was at balance, then scraped his fender, looping it. this is the second wheelie crash with this bike he's had. first one i was there, but he was behind me, so i didn't see the crash, just him sliding out in front of me into an intersection. apparently he dropped it so hard, the forks bounced back up, and landed again with his front wheel tweaked, and high sided or something. he also got a citation for carrying 28 g's of weed.

>>16099973
Depends on the drivers, car, bike, track, weather, road surface and temp, air temp, and physics in general.

If you put two identically talented people on an r1 and a base corvette, the bike will lose time in every corner. I'd say an r1 can take a corner with about the same speed as a base model 2007 mustang gt with decent tires (not slicks)

I would say 80% of the time rearsets like that are going on track bikes which have no brake lights.

>>16100008
Is that why new literbikes are faster around any track than any supercar?

>>16099973
Modern high-end cars like ferraris will always corner better and brake better than motorcycles. Motorcycles are faster in a straight line unless you drag race against ridiculously modified +1000hp machines.

>>16100090
untrue, you require downforce to take corners faster on cars and most production cars don't have much downforce.

Once you get to racing cars that have proper amounts of downforce it's game over though.

>>16100090
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13jJnQxGUhQ

Here you go. For the record cars will always be slower unless its an f1 car.

>>16100091
you assess the condition and asking price of other bikes in your area and base your offer from there. Mainly the condition. If it has signs of neglect just walk away.

>>16100096

2009 fireblade ABS (yeah yeah, that's what the test ride is for). from the photos it looks clean and the guy is articulate and not nigspeaking me. some extras which he's probably going to try to sell me up on.

2008's with no ABS are going for around ~6.5k in my area. it does have really low miles though, only 7500.

i'm not sure if i should start with the lowball from the start (i highly doubt he's going to take it) or just basically say $7500 or i walk

>>16100100

Not my fault you can't watch a video. Race starts at 2:30, laptimes posted at 2:57

>>16100100
Bruh as much as I would like for that to be true, it isn't. Any proper performance car is going to annihilate a motorcycle. They can brake later, take corners faster, and have bigger margins for mistakes. Comparing an R8 to a literal race bike is like comparing a S1000 XR to a P1. Yeah, it's fast, but it's a general purpose production machine not built specifically for the track like most liter bikes are

>>16100112
I'd start at 7.25 and work up from there, I it's in the condition claimed, go up to what you think it's worth. I'd say 7.7 at most but trying to stay between that and 7.5

you don't think it's offensive to offer 7.25 on it? i can walk away from this bike if i need to but i would like to have it if everything checks out. my main concern is offending the guy and having to walk or get into more aggressive haggling

>>16099973
With elite level driver/rider in both on a good track they will probably be relatively equal. With average enthusiast level drivers the car would probably win on a track because a car should be easier to manage and be more forgiving. However with average joes on the street a bike will probably win. Bikes are much narrower so they have more wiggle room on narrow mountain roads, and have more acceleration possible coming out of turns. Also supercar street drivers are just in it for the image and are too scared to hoon their precious wedgemobiles.

the laguna was a 54 and was long enough, but really billowy and looked like it was for a fat guy. they make tall sizes, but only like 1 jacket a year, so you get stuck paying full retail.

You really like that bike, don't you. It's like 1/2 of all the images you post

Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you.

Fast > towing capacity

get cucked.

If you wanna talk slow

>>16100889
a motorcycle has to move under its own power to be considered slow.

85 mph two hour trip, what can do it better for comfort/ease
Ninja 250, or drz400sm

Its my wet dream to just own it for a show piece cause dat motor hnnnng. The rocket 3 triumph is also something id love to own too.

>Noob? Read this

We need to update that.

It's missing the recommendation for new riders to not take advice from /dbt/. That's a more important safety issue than not buying a GSXR. Imagine how many people wouldn't crash if they didn't take advice from us.

Looks really good, continue posting into eternity :)

>>16100896
Most of the advice given seems to just be not to buy that cool looking super sport. Nothing wrong with that

>>16100905
Looks really good. Enjoy it without killing yourself. or do. whatever, just enjoy it

you mean putt their bikes on the ground

>>16100908
probably not. maybe on technicality. from what i've heard about urals, they seem to like to get into trouble and break things for shits and giggles

Right bar end mirror broke off and the right front turn signal is snapped back but barely holding on, still works though.

Im surprised they didnt do anything else to it and right. Thing weighs less than most bikes too haha. I just love how it sounds like a rally car when revving out.

>>16100921
Did you use that lingo ironically? If not, youre a hypocritical millennial faggot.

Although I don't disagree about motovloggers..

>>16100920
Fuck that looks terrifying

>>16100928
It's a grom, they're designed to be shitbikes. Think of it as adding character

>>16100910
on the other hand it recommends genuinely fast bikes like large displacement parallel twins

i wouldn't say every inline four is peaky, that every ptwin is predictable, that every fully faired sporty bike is difficult to handle in a corner, or that the two year old SV650 with no ABS you're looking at has worse/safer brakes than the 90s GSXR with ABS that you totally should not buy

i would say that riding a sporty motorcycle can put less mature riders in a mindset where they make more mistakes by trying to "get their money's worth", or that too much power period can get irresponsible people in more trouble than a ninja 300

i would say that you should start on a GS500 over a ninja 500 and avoid a fucking ninja 650 of all things like the plague. i would put emphasis on weight, height, conventional ergonomics (throttle response included), not being carbed, and total available power over the engine configuration.

and i would make a point to tell people to not let chicken strips and dank woolies memes get to their heads

It seems more to me that things like to wriggle loose if you don't ensure they're right which can lead to worse problems like gaskets coming out and now your oil is on the ground
ask me how I know

i actually really love the idea of urals. i can't wrench though and it's too much of a learning curve to be able to justify buying a bike you will 100% need to wrench

True. I agree with all that. It can be hard to handle a heavier, more powerful 650 class bike, especially for someone who never rode growing up.

That's why I have a 300 ;_;

now i need a new leather jacket. aerostich isn't going to cut it on the blade but i'll be able to make it work for rainy weather. shitty part is it has to be dainese to match my dainese pants so i'm gonna pay out the ass

>>16100950
No bro it's fine, the SV six fiddy only has two cyllinders and can come with fewer fairings, it's totally a beginners bike like the GS500, I started on one and didn't die

I love this measurement standard

>>16100942
That's really what it is. Terrifying

>>16100952
What, you're too stylish to mix and match, or are you afraid the zipper won't match?

>>16100954
your 650 will beat pretty much any sports car under $120k from a rolling start up to ~80mph. would you set a brand new driver loose in a corvette with no traction control? with cars you can at least lose the front a little bit. if you toss the front or break the rear loose at the wrong time you're going to be hurting on a bike.

beginners should be on 250s
