So, I passed my MSF course a few weeks ago, got my first bike last weekend. '03 Kawasaki Z1000. Pic related. How do i not die? I was riding today and a bunch of squids linked up with me in traffic and we did squid shit. I had to stop because goddamn, they were FLYING and while my bike can keep up with them, I don't have the riding skill for that shit.

>>16121937
At least you stopped on your own accord.
When I first got my TL1000s, up from a GSF250, all I was doing was baiting smaller bikes to the speed limit and watching them fly past when I got there. Got more than a couple into trouble.

Trust me, I had zero plans of getting something like this as a first bike. But my friend is getting a ZX-10R, has had this bike as long as i've known him, really wants me to ride, and basically gave me an offer I couldn't refuse on it. It is surprisingly easy to ride. Here's a pic i took today, getting lunch before things got stupid

>>16122157
when you say you "drop" a bike, it means you literally just dropped it, generally at walking speed or from a standstill. if you're bleeding it sounds like you "crashed" your bike, rather than "dropped" it. post pictures of bike and consider finding a different mode of transportation. three negligent incidences in one day doesn't bode well for your suitability to ride a motorcycle.

it's not for everyone and there's no shame in it. post bike.

A lot of things need replacement. The headlight wiring is real dodgy, rear tire is awful, ignition is loose, and other issues here and there. But for $750 I'm pretty happy with it.

you guys ever get paranoid about bike theft? i was downstairs in my apartment's parking garage having a cigarette next to my bike (like i always do because i'm an autist) and as i was walking off back to the elevator saw a decently dressed man of middle eastern descent casting gazes at my bike and the brand new monster parked next to it. i immediately lit another one and strolled back to my bike and made eye contact with him and he just walked off back to a late-model bimmer and drove away.

all the lazy people park their bikes on the ground floor right next to the gate but i park mine at the absolute bottom. i know that realistically any of those lazy peoples' bikes will be stolen far before mine but i still get worried about it. can anyone relate?

>>16123025
>>16123041

I won't say if it is or isn't but you don't have enough experience on a motorcycle to make any claims like that.

I mean how can you make any claims about the efficacy of learning to wheelie on your progression as a motorcyclist when you can't do the thing you're talking about?

Why? Just, why? They're called cruisers because you cruise. It's just like a car with no windshield. You can't even fall off some of them because the giant footboards and panniers on those oversized scooters will catch you before the chromed crash bars are even used.

Keeno has more posts on 4chan than miles of road experience. Take from that what you will.

>>16123073
I think learning wheelies is quite beneficial to the mental process of riding, in particular the part where you drop ego and realize you're the problem. Most people who can't wheelie have tried it at one point, can't do it, and have said either "I didn't want to wheelie anyway" or "it's not useful why would you want to wheelie ra ra ra" and have made excuses for their own failings.

Nobody wheelies a bike perfectly the first time, but after hours of practice you can improve and work on it and expand your comfort zone greatly and eventually you can do it. It's a big lesson for motorcycling in general that it's generally always you that's the problem and with a bit of work and constant practice you can overcome your deficiencies, things that seem impossible can be made possible through effort and practice.

Considering how incredibly arrogant you are for how little you know about riding I think this would be a good lesson to learn.

More to the point, the idea that wheelies are in any way a seperate function of riding motorcycles is rather silly, they're a basic physical fact of life while riding a motorcycle, too much power to the rear wheel, the front comes up, too much brake, the back comes up, they're not a "stunt" they're an inbuilt, bred in part of motorcycles and you grow to understand this when you learn to control them.

>>16123120
some people can appreciate riding for its simpler, less autistic qualities.

>>16123067
The one who's wrecked already

The high and mighty one can't and won't ride hard enough to die, ever. High and mighty internet motorcyclists run with ten times the following distance needed, slow down so they never have to lean more than 15 degrees, and filter to the back of traffic.

I see adventure bikes in his future.

>>16123124

they're not just an accident, they're essential for getting over large obstacles. on a typical sport-standard/naked, you have the weight, ground clearance, ergonomics, and suspension travel to do some very moderate trials-like riding.

>850 miles

i rode my bike to work every day (15mi each way) during the sunny weeks for a total of 150 miles a week. Minimum. And then there were other things.

Now it's more like 30-60 miles a week but still, in one month I racked up over 600 miles with commuting, exploring, and buying beer. How long have you been riding?

I've been at it for a couple of months and I still suck total shit. The furthest I ever leaned was going 50mph around a very gentle corner, and I only leaned over so far because I had shit body position that pushed the bike down. And I crashed twice.

well changing out the pads is an interim fix. they're pretty worn but if it doesn't fix the problem i'm probably going to be installing new rotors as well. as for completely rebuilding the calipers, that's probably a little above my paygrade for the time being.

Just wanted to weigh in on all these cunts bagging you, I completely agree with you that you should learn to ride competently at high and low speeds before bothering with wheelies.

I've been riding dirt bikes for over ten years and road bikes for ~5, commuting daily for the past few. Sure getting the front wheel up has advantages for getting over logs and obstacles off-road, but I have never found a need to wheelie on the road other than for fun when no-ones around (or the obvious advantage of dick sizing with anonymous shitheads on 4chan)

So learn the finer points of throttle control, balance, emergency braking etc.. They're skills that'll help you learn the fancy more dangerous stuff should you so desire while also helping you be a safe rider.

it's entirely possible (even recommended) to never bother with wheelies. i've been riding for a long ass time now and the only wheelies i ever do are a side effect of hard acceleration. i've literally never dropped a clutch to wheelie on purpose.

the downside? i don't get to showboat and make strangers think i'm cool. the upside? i'll never loop a bike showboating to make strangers think i'm cool

>>16123406
Clutch wheelies are stunting

The other, short lived, short in the other way wheelies are an essential skill. Wheelie over speedbumps every day.

no. there are no circumstances in which being able to wheelie will safe your life on the street. if there are, it's not just """""rare""""" but closer to something like "once in a million lifetimes." if anyone has any scenario in which a fucking wheelie trumps application of throttle, brake, countersteering, or any combination thereof, please feel free to illuminate me.

Holy shit. Were you that kid who always talked about how talented he was but could never back it up???

The fuck are you on about, none of these are true

Will Trump legalize wheelies?

>>16123465
does he still want to buy a VFR?

He's gonna crash

VFR = Very Fatal to Riders

No one on /dbt/ is an experienced rider

there's no gradient of fatality. something is either fatal or it isn't

Looped my bike, spent months on crutches, did wheelies on my first ride the next year.
>>16123416
Sweet, next time a cop catches me doing power wheelies I'll tell him it wasn't stunting.
>>16123041
I ride for fun, and wheelies are fun as fuck. Who cares if it's "real riding" or "squidding"? Who says you can only (learn to)ride one way or another?

>>16123493

To be fair I've less experience than most of the guys here.

>>16123487
No friends to take photos of me riding, I'll post strips for you at least. They're bad. I'm a newb. What are you expecting to get?

>>16123492
By this logic spoons are fatal because a man once died by spoon.

>>16123493
I just prefer not to. Plain and simple, they aren't on my list of things to learn at the moment. I'd rather play it safe and learn more basics with both wheels on the ground before I get into stunting

>>16123493
>power wheelies
It's not a proper power wheelie either. You just hop the front up real quick to get it over something, and you can only do it properly at lower speeds.

Basic parking lot skills. Some speedbumps are fucking nasty and it's easier to maintain balance and a smooth ride if you can keep a moderate speed and hop the front wheel instead of jumping it. For smaller bumps, just compress the rear with a bit of throttle.

>>16123485
What's your idea of an "experienced rider"?

>>16123497
if someone were killed by a spoon, that incident was a fatal incident. it was not very fatal, sort of fatal, or extremely fatal. it was just fatal. if he hadn't died and instead became seriously injured, that would be a non-fatal injury.

i have been riding for 19 years but i also post on dbt so i am probably not very good.

Yes but you don't see people calling spoons a fatal device.

Or maybe you do, fuck, whatever.

My DRZ will power wheelie up to ~50mph if I bounce on the footpegs. After that I use the clutch. It's handy for train tracks and shit. What do you consider lower speeds?
>>16123497
When you learn wheelies, you also learn other things like steadier rear brake control, how much it takes to make your front go into a speed wobble, and like others have said, how to clear obstacles in the road.

>>16123515
What's your point?

>>16123517
Yeah that makes sense. I'm probably gonna hold off until I've got a little more experience anyways, i do think they have a purpose, as I said earlier.
Not that my opinion means anything to anyone here apparently ;-;

>>16123517
Depends on the bike, but once you go slow enough you don't even need the throttle.

Some bikes can't even do this.
