My yamaha had to have the tank pulls to even access the battery. Same with my XL to access the sparkplugs which was in the days of leaded gasoline so you had to access them fairly regularly.

>>16250891
To be honest I agree with that general sentiment. For the most part, I think motorcycles are kind of stupid. The only redeeming element is the price:performance ratio when you're dealing with sport bikes. For $2000, you can get a machine that accelerates you from 0-180 in 20 seconds. That is pretty dope.

Only experience with XLs myself, sparks were fairly easy to get too (thats 2009 on my old sporty), didnt have to pull anything. Suzuki sparks on my bandit, have to pull the tank to get the mid 2... squeeze to get the outer two at best.

Never had to get at the battery on the bandit, but all I know was that my sporty cover was shit as fuck... clips didnt connect and I had to cable tie it up to stop it falling off lol

It's super aggressive but handles great. I have aftermarket suspension on it and looking to get some stickier tires in a couple months. Breaks every speed limit in my country in first gear and you can do power wheelies in third.

>>16251150
Oz prices, but hardly a barn find and quite rideable as is. About a 4500 dollar machine in the US. I have two Shovels, one in about that shape and one with many miles that's cosmetically rougher.

>>16251164
Shovels can be daily riders and are quite easy to maintain if you are a mechanic. They are far more reliable than their British contemporaries. I've worked and owned plenty of both. You'll be able to get parts for at least another century which is a nice thing about Harleys.

If you get one, remember to go with an oil cooler, tall final drive gearing, and low static compression ratio. You;ll thank me later.

Good tyres over my way are Avon Storms, sticky as hell even in damp (60% of britbong climate). Stock suspension myself atm, but thinking of throwing something more durable on front and back because hopefully this will be my summer ride and not my daily anymore.

Can power wheely on mine 1-4, drop gear into 5th and probably get a distance off then kek

>>16251183
here's a bit older model of it with the same exhaust, don't think I have a webm of it running with sound. Doesn't really do it justice since he's just sitting in a parking lot revving it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vXLo_MXgKQ

>sweaty and hair ruined from one ride

If she's so overweight that sitting in the breeze makes her sweat rivers I don't want her and I don't want her on my bike.
If she's so vapid that maybe having to brush her hair again later is asking too much to enjoy the ride I don't want her and I don't want her on my bike.
If I'm somehow at the point in my life where I can only define myself and the enjoyment of my hobbies by what woman is with me at the time I think I'd rather be dead since my life would have long ago been meaningless anyway.

All the fuel lines are getting replaced with actual useful stuff and not that garbage I used to limp the bike along when I put the DS7 motor in after I blew up the 350. Also getting completely new wiring harness for the dual spark ignition.

My calss was organizing some sort of show/dance with one of the popular song of that jolly hystorical period,
we would practice the moves all togheter on an improvised stage made of pallets and balsa wood or something of the like in the main all,
directed by the super hot blonde PT teacher.

We practiced for a good week, until the day of the show came.
All the parents gathered on the stand and the teachers finished setting the lights for the dance,
the lights went dark and my friends and I all took our spot on the stage in front of the teacher that would have guided us,
wich was pretty redundant for the song that we were about to dance at the rythm of spelled the moves you had to make in the lyrics.

The music starts, the room is dark, and the flashing lights jumps everywhere.
I'm in the middle of the stage, surrounded by the rest of the kids that are perfectly executing the moves as they learned,
shielded to eyes of the public by their clean posed moves and the darkness,
and I thought to myself "I can do whatever the fuck I want and they won't see it".

So I started dancing as I wanted, jumping around, shaking myself, enjoing the freedom it gave me,
until I realized that my parents could see me perfectly, as everybody else.
The rest of the parents were clapping and cheering, not my family.

They were pointing and laughing at me.
I stopped moving, walked off the stage and sat on the floor in the dark hid near the stands and cried.

I've never danced again.

How do you deal with low test?

Guys, why do I suck at coming to a stop and only having to put my foot down once? It almost always takes me 2-3 little steps before my foot is planted on the ground.

I use my right foot on the rear brake when stationary so I can give my right hand a break, plus I'm 5'4 so can only tippy-toe with both feet down, so don't bother suggesting to use both feet.

>>16251547
a lot of it has to do with your height.
Lean slightly one way as you come to a complete stop with your feet up, so the bike tilts one way and you can put one foot flat on the ground.
Odds are you would nail it every time if you simply didn't think about doing it.

>>16251547
Work on balancing while moving slowly/stopped. You should be able to come to a complete stop before you put your foot down. Scoot a little bit off to the left and put the foot down just as you stop.

>>16251566
sounds like you want more DRZs

>>16251576
When I come to a stop quickly, I can do it with no steps, but I tend to coast before normal stops, and so the last 3m (10ft) is essentially at a pace where I have to try balance the bike so I don't fall. I think this makes it slightly harder too.

I do what you say, as I never have to take my right foot off the brake because the bike is leaning that way, it's always leaning to the left, but still takes me a few tries. Practice makes perfect, right?

Also I'd want it more for doing cross country rides comfortably. Its cheaper than 1000cc + sport tourers and more capable machine.

Easy of starting and tolerance for shitty fuel. These engines are descendants of 1930s designs which were the superbikes of their day. Kick starting is much easier if static compression is low, and fuel quality back then through the 1950s could be questionable in many places. Electric starters were badly done add-ons unti Honda began building decent motorcycle starter motors. If you own a Shovel, you can use modern electric starter motors but the solenoid arrangement is terrible so a kicker is mandatory and can be used to assist the electric starter.

I like soft compression on old engines and Harleys came with it stock. BTW it was also common to drop compression on Triumph twins to cut vibes and make them more streetable.

Shovel engines are sound designs but if you build one from scratch I'd use a late Evo Softail primary drive, clutch and five speed trans. The extra gear doesn't mean much but the late Softails came with the outstanding Denso electric starter.

Very few Shovels retain original carbs for good reason. A later Harley CV carb is inexpensive and a good choice.

I prefer points ignition on Shovels because it's cheap, works very well with kick starters, and is effortless to troubleshoot. The same points in a Chevy six worked harder per rev than they evey will in an HD.

Dirty carbs are my friends. A carb upgrade would be nice but I'd clean the stocker first since that's near zero money to check out the engine. Then I'd drain and stash it. You can never own too many spare carbs.

125's are kinda death machines m8, they have no power or all of the power, there is no inbetween so any time you ride one you are riding it as fast as it can possibly be ridden, you would be better off getting a 200cc 2 stroke or something like the Beta x trainer.

the x trainer is easily one of if not the best beginner trail bike on the market and they hold their value really well for resale, they are a 300cc 2 stroke but with a very mild pipe that restricts the power a lot and also makes the power delivery much smoother.

200 or 220, the 300 was the 4stroke klx

as far as rebuilds go, my dads had 3400 miles on it and he rebuilt it just because he was already doing a water pump seal, it probably wouldve been find for twice as long or more.
its used for sand and trail use so a good mix of hard and light throttle riding

you dont need a lot of contact for a solid stick. just clean it good

>>16252532
you can still get arms to change the angle or you could just stick it on there sideways. Is there any way to change the recording mode to make it record sideways without being a tall video?

>>16252540
i dont trust my camera without a good stick. thats why i used sugru on my street helmet. i could be riding for a long time without noticing if it ever fell off.

>>16252543
yes i have them but the reason i got the sesh is for a minimum bulk setup.
im thinking of doing the side mount above the goggle band, but it looks like the 90 degree connectors (which i have) will still be required for the angle.
i like the under peak mount but it requires the peak to be at the highest setting to keep the camera out of your view, and i like it low.

I mostly hear you all talking about DRZ, KLR, and DR when it comes to larger displacement DS bikes. I don't remember you all ever talking about XR650Ls.

What is the opinion of them? The way work and finances are going, buying another bike shouldn't even be on my radar but this is the first time in awhile I've seen a big displacement DS on CL

great bikes, they tend to run a little hot but jetting or an add on oil cooler will fix that. and are pretty tall which is great if you arent a manlet.
they have the best suspension of the 650 ds bikes from japan and since its a 30 year old design, parts and aftermarket are everywhere

He's been vocally anti towards the global warming hoax. So emissions regulations are unlikely to worsen.
Additionally tariffs on imports would allow the domestic market to become more competitive.
I don't know what gives you the impression that he's anti motorcycle. In fact he had huge support from the bike community.

Saying he's a "liberal" is a cop out when he's looking to implement policy no liberal has seriously brought to the table in recent years

I kinda like the look of old HD Buell bikes more than the look of the modern EBR bikes.

Think pikes peak handlebars. He's not a college hippie, but he has liberal leanings and supported gun bans when he wasn't running for office.

With the right voice in his ear he would easily sign off on graduated licensing at the least and complete bullshit capping top speeds and 0-60 times on street-legal machines at the worst

>b-but he came off as such a friend of freedom
Yeah and look at what he did with his cabinet picks. So much for cleaning up DC.

the front wheel can be very spindly as it needs to carry no braking force through the spokes and the rear wheel is technically hubless.

All the modern sport nakeds take after the buells with the short tails, underslung mufflers and torquey engine *cough MT-09*

I don't care for them though, the 1190RX and SX are the bikes he always wanted to make, fast, light, ridiculous handling.

That's what I want.

He's supported background screening for weapons purchases and concealed carries himself. That's not even remotely comparable though as it's a protection for greater society rather than the individual.
Saying that since adviser could push an agenda is possible but I don't see how that would be any different from any other president, and so far there's no reason to believe there will be on this case. A learner policy would not necessarily even have an impact on the domestic market and could even have the opposite effect.

Your accusations are coming off as baseless paranoia in the light of known policy
