I looked at dog carriers for bikes on Google Images for fun, and noticed that I didn't see a single picture of one of those zip up boxes with fabric windows having an animal inside with the box closed.
>>16305232
Probably adventure bikes.
>>16305233
doesn't that defeat the freedom of a motorcycle? don't you want your dog to experience the open road
>>16305253
I think an open top box is good if you have a small dog, and leash it so it doesn't get any ideas. If a bigger doggo then get sidecar.

What a retarded bike. Stock XR100 motard races exist only to serve as the cheapest way into motorcycle racing. By extensively modding it you are making it no longer fit that class as well as negating the only reason for an adult to own an XR100.
>>16305774
Upstate NY college house, duplex me and 7 friends rented, futon was on it's way to the curb.
>>16305780
>no fun allowed
>>16305808
The novelty of small bikes wears off pretty quickly.
>>16305826
I disagree
>>16305831
I suspect you've either never had a small bike or never had a fast big bike.
>>16305837
I've had both.
Currently have both too.
And have fun on both.
>>16305845
for me small bikes are only fun in a very small set of conditions, as opposed to my bigger bikes where i can just go out and ride anywhere and have fun.
>>16305223
Sorry, this was bothering me.
>>16305873
When you say small do you mean "smaller than road legal"?
>>16305780
what makes it unable to compete in motard racing for an xr100 compatible class again? they're all modded up like that.
I'm 6'2 if they weren't modded up a little bit I plain wouldn't be able to ride them with any confidence, I don't feel very comfortable on tiny bikes / minimoto stuff in general but I am excited to try it out with a proper setup.
>>16305873
thankfully this is not fucking boolean and you don't need to have one or another, you can have both and just use the mini motard on the go kart tracks and what not and use your other bike for other stuff.
Seriously what autism is this? there is nothing wrong with having specialized bikes for specialized purposes lol.
You can't use a track 600 on the road either..
>>16305882
I mean children's bikes.
>>16305884
The mini class (where XR100s are used) is usually pretty limited on mods.
>>16305906
do you not think the rules might be different in japan or do you believe ohio's rules apply worldwide.
even then, I found a class on the OMRL page that allows all of those modifications on the bike to be done to a 100 cc 4 stroke air cooled bike.
http://omrlmoto.com/about/race-classes/f3-formula-three/
So I guess you're just like double retarded?
I'd be buying the helium tank right now anon.
>>16305937
still doesn't make sense to spend $500+ modding an xr100 when you could just buy a class up.
>>16305954
maybe they like the class, maybe they already had an XR100, maybe they found one for cheap or were gifted one, maybe it was their kids bike but they have moved on and decided to repurpose it.
There are times where you just need to admit you are just 100% wrong in every way anon and this is one of those times.
>>16305731

where's the triumph faggot, you bang any SJWs lately? we need more stories.
>>16306205
any archives of stories like with LPG?
>>16305731
But I already went for a day ride
>>16306232
Like the tires?
>>16306249
I only need gear if I crash, right?
I bought a motorcycle and a helmet, just ran out of money afterwards
As long as i'm really disciplined with the throttle and focused on the road, I won't neat gear?
>>16306258
I don't wear gear and I've been good so far.
>>16306258
can i have whatevers left of your bike when you die?
>>16306249
I will preface this by saying that the old tires on the Tiger were awful and 90/10 street biased. That said, yes, they are fucking awesome. The old tires would slip if you throttle on at nearly any speed, these ones grab really well above 3rd gear and behave on soft sand.
>>16306258
I wear a helmet and gloves. Been riding 25 years like that.
The one time i put on knee guards i ended up breaking my knee.
>>16306254
Holy shit lol
thoughts on the new r1?
What's /o/'s opinion on the Ducati Scrambler as a starter bike?
Im 6'2 260lbs, No riding experience.
I'm planning on taking a safety course before anything else, but I honestly don't see the point of spending $3k on a beater instead of just going for the bike I really want?
>>16306275
i still havent been able to get out on the new tires..
>feels bad
>>16306313
You're better off starting with a dual sport.
>>16306321
Whose bike is that kek
Really pointless to own anything besides a Honda.
No other bikes are made to the same quality standards
>>16306339

>I honestly don't see the point of spending $3k on a beater instead of just going for the bike I really want?
maybe because as a beginner you will beat on the bike, that's what beaters are for, beating on.
>the bike I really want
you have no idea what bike you really want, you have no experience riding. How could you even make such a choice?
If experience has taught me anything from people on /dbt/ you've probably already made up your mind and I'm wasting my time though.
>>16306404
pls
we can swap if you want
>>16306395
Most of the points he made are the reason I want a fuckin Ducati. Everything else I own is old and pieced together, which I dig but it's just.... I want something new, showy, expensive... I just started my new jobs and soon I'll have the cash for one of these bitches and god damn if I'm not out on it every weekend after that!

>>16306275
804/805s treating you well, then? Glad to hear it m8.
>>16306258
Yes, it's called crash gear for a reason.
And when you do get gear, make sure it has good armor that stays in place (no bullshit baggy "riding pants" with knee "protection" that only lines up in the "riding position") and sliders on impact zones.
Please, save up and buy good gear. It's better to squid and ride super defensively for a bit than it is buy some bilt crap, go all out, and end up getting hurt worse because your shitty bilt techo tissue paper jacket had tire-like grip and contributed to turning a nice and easy slide into a bone-shattering, limb-dislocating tumble and still failed to protect an elbow or knee because their cheap ass armor didn't even stay in place.
>>16306704

that's what they do.

>>16306733
Yup. Poorfag spotted
>>16306720
You mean well off?
How do you pack shit on a motorcycle and keep it dry? You need some sort of waterproof storage. And make it both convenient to access and very secure, so nothing gets lost? You can't just bungee it on. You need some sort of mounting system for a locking box.
Fabricating that yourself takes a cool thousand in tools, but maybe you could do it with a drill press, an angle grinder, and some plywood jigs
Buying it costs a month's groceries
Poor people DD scooters and factory baggers because they already have the storage built in, not motorcycles.
>>16306733
>busrider:thepost
>>16306733
This, to an extent. I have a V-Stronk and a DR650 (both with case mounts) and use them extensively until it snows/ices. For other things, I use my Miata or Ram 1500. Insurance is expensive on everything combined, but I like having the ability to do basically everything.
>>16306743
Dude if you want to do it on the cheap, a goddamn WalMart cooler will work. If you have some basic tools, you can make a mount out of wood or cheap metal and some bolts. Buying a bike already equipped is also an option. Also, there's a Honda sportbike with a good bit of storage built in.
Reminder that if you're not rocking Alpinestars for every piece of gear, you're getting sub-par protection
>>16306735
sometimes on the way back from the twisties I stop in at the supermarket in the leather onesie.
>>16306736
>>16306745
I will ride in pretty much any weather so long as the road is fine. the only time i switch to a car is when it starts snowing heavily because in southern onterrible its illegal to have studded tires.
>>16306751
Yeah, and you know what, a walmart cooler drilled on to a wood rack isn't going to be very secure or durable, and it's going to make you as wide as a car. At least cut and bolt scrap steel together into a decent metal rack and use something modern and stylish from staples for the panniers
And you're going to look dumb. Motorcycles are already vanity items so you might as well get something that combines style and vanity like a scooter (pic related).
>>16306732

>>16306780
Dont have children
In fact do the world a favor and just off yourself you piece of shit.
>>16306793
Do you think your head is suited to hitting anything at 20mph?
Do you think it might be a good idea to buy a good helmet so you don't get any dumber?

I like 3m 1100, disposable earplugs block more sound and the way they roll off the high end noise is perfect for wind noise.
I've tried the kind like you mentioned and I don't like them as much as foamies.
how to cancel wind noise in video
>>16307388
you can't.
You must annihilate it while recording, wind socks/deadcats and moving the microphone out of windy areas.
The best you can do is a high pass filter to try and take off the woofing bass element.

We don't have a point system per se, how long do you need to wait for it to reset? Here it's 3 traffic violations a year or 4 traffic violations in 2 years and you'll be without a license for a month.

yeah, these threads have been so damn slow the last few weeks, no idea why. and actually informative discussions are as good as gone completely now
>>16307880
because its the middle of december
>>16307884
it's been like this since october
>>16307887
because that's when it starts getting colder
also because dbt shits on any bike that's posted so nobody actually talks about riding or their bike. A picture will get posted from their ride and some retard will insult their bike and some other retard tells them they have big chicken strips.

Backroads exist. Vloggers are just too pussy to ride on them.
>>16307666

because "sport tourers" are basically sportbikes over 600cc but made unecessarily pigfat, given slightly higher bars, and modified for additional passenger comfort and an OEM luggage system

>>16307998
Don't forget the torque curve! Sport touring usually have more smooth torque curve. And I don't understand your point, what you said is exactly what makes them different. So you don't have to spend twice to get a bike to fit your needs.
They're usually cheaper, too.

With all the slow webms I can believe it
hard cases or soft bags for touring, dbt? no offraoding, only the odd gravel road to a camping site. Is the added price (in my case 400€ vs. 150€) really worth it, if all I need is just a place to store my clothes/shoes?

Yes just because it looks nicer then sport bikes.

Even with hard cases all you need is a screwdriver. If one wants your stuff he'll get it.

I plan on throwing some raised handlebars on mine. After that the only complaint will be the close ratio gearbox making it rather revvy on the freeway, but that's what these engines are designed for so fit won't hurt them anyway. I just need to find someone to trade me their stock exhaust for my attention whore pipe so I don't have to listen to the noise.

Doing my Mod 2 test tomorrow.
So am I supposed to always look over both shoulders before moving off? Even when leaving a junction?
>>16308370
If it's not a 125 2 stroke moto gp bike, you should be able to stay in relatively low revs at appropriate highway speeds
>>16308395
You should always check over your shoulder if traffic could be coming from that direction
>>16308395
>Even when leaving a junction?
Yeah.
>>16308335
100 year ago people said the same thing about anything made in Japan, 20 years ago people said the same thing about cars made in Korea. Just give it time. They'll either up their game, or just compete on another niche because of their price.
>>16308395
Can't ever be too cautious while doing practical tests
When I did my car test, I almost hit a bicyclist because he ignored a red light, had I not looked both ways then, I would have hit him and surely would have failed my test
>>16308405
Dude, I actually used to work at a motorbike repair shop that also sold these CFMoto bikes, and let me tell you, there's a reason these things cost 4000 euros new. They use subpar materials for their vehicles, and most bikes come very shoddily put together from the factory
>>16308416
I'm not doubting this at all. We have some jokes about Shine Ray bikes in my country, case in point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMlJRkQnhU8
>>16308405
Chinas culture is literally to steal a concept and produce it as cheap as possible.
Chinks can't afford anything with their income. Unless they somehow raise the wages (won't happen) they won't change anything about it. This is a way too big issue reaching far into chinas economics and government to "just give it time"
Maybe if they kill off half the population of china, yeah.
>>16308376
I want fast without loud.
>>16308396
It's at like 6-7K when I cruise at about 75mph. It's not crazy fast but listening to the noise for extended periods of time isn't pleasant for me.
>>16308456
You should be wearing earplugs anyway, 75mph is fast enough to damage your hearing from the wind noise alone
>>16308456
i thought americans weren't even allowed to go that fast
>>16308509
My freeway speed limit is 80mph outside of town homie
>>16308516
oh wow, 80 mph, that's like so fast, oh my god
>>16308526
Freedom is pretty sweet.
>>16308469
I do wear plugs but I'm autistic so I don't like to hear the engine screaming RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA the whole time.
I like to just barely be able to hear my engine over the wind so I can tell me shift points.
>>16308509
Sure we can.

>>16308609
>I get hektik on twisties for fun
i do too, but I also drive/ride my vehicles to their maximum, which are both around 240 km/h. Have fun doing this when a lorry pulls in front of you completely legally because americans have no law dictating they have to stay in the right most lane
>>16308622
>americans have no law dictating they have to stay in the right most lane
we do.
>>16308557
honestly, when I think of all the blown out tyres and broken down cars I saw while I was in the US, i am actually kind of glad they can only go such ridiculously low speeds, or else their cars would probably disintegrate
>>16308647

>>16308914
maybe people would have looked past the shitty engines and the "unique" designs if they wouldnt look so horribly cheap on closer inspection.
The EBRs might be a step forward but if i had the choice between a 1190 and a ducati 1199 i know which one id rather have.
>>16308946
Nope. Different designs. I'd even go as far as saying the 1190sx is better than the duke and costs even less. But you'll never get it cause they aren't sold in your shit country.
>>16308921
>superduke
>steel trellus frame

>aluminum twin spar frame from their superbike
I mean it's a big v-twin naked which is a bit of a similarity but KTM wasn't even the first to do that.

>>16308954
go on, tell us.
>>16308301
>knickers
TITS OR GTFO
>>16308954
I mean thats a matter of preference. But again, I'd say the 1190RS will give the same amount of performance at less cost. Just watch videos of the RS racing in american superbike.
>>16308946
not really, with that bulky front and that mask the EBR looks more like the GSX1000
>>16308970
the one with the godly design and unbeatable racing legacy.
>>16308955
They don't sell them in Europe because Europeans are not so stupid as to buy into their patriotic fascistic "made in America" crap
>>16308820
Then do it correctly.

>>16309062

>>16309067
>moooostang
actually people buy them here
the thing with trucks is that the roads are not made for that, and most of the time you need a truck license for it.
the other thing is, 99% of people see the car as an appliance, so they don't need it fast, good looking or powerfull, they just use it as a transport from A to B and it has to be as cheap as possible in insurance and petrol.
and petrol ain't the cheapest.
people buy german cars here in germany, people don't care that much about american cars, but about Porsches, Mercedes AMG, BMW M models and Audi RS models you see plenty.
and sometimes the obvious hot hatches.
