flat seat is good.

Not much to grip onto with that tank and the velour is probably a bit slippy though.

>>16496102
yeah nobody would take an axe to a bike they're trying to ride off with.

>>16496102

Maybe they didnt have a grinder at their store?

>>16496157

Or maybe it's that a grinder would cut just about any lock in 20 seconds so it wouldn't help sell $200 locks that offer the same protection as $20 locks.

>>16496166
grinders arent common tools around here because of the noise they make.
shrouded hardened locks are good to stop hand tools though

Do new helmets have a "break in" period where there is just a big too much padding, it feels heavy, and just needs to be worn a while before its comfy?

>>16496428
Yep, anything decent or better will do this.
Fit should be snug out the box.
Shit helmets will have noticeable pressure points

>>16496428
yes, in particular the cheek pads will loosen up a lot.

It's best to buy a helmet that feels juuust too tight (especially on the cheeks) and it'll loosen up and fit perfectly.

>heavy

yeah I have basically the heaviest helmet around (Shark Vision R) and when I first swapped to it I got a bit of a sore neck while riding but you'll get used to that too.

>>16496442
>>16496444
Thanks. I test fit a large which felt too snug. Then I settled on an XL (wore a large in my motorcycle class) and its just tight around my cheeks and jaw just infront of the ears. Its Sug, but comfy everywhere else. Wanted to check with you guys before I considered returning it for XXL.

Unless you've got a head like this there's no way you'd need an XXL. I have a pretty big noggin and I'm between an L and XL depending on the brand.

>>16496518
it's actually in perfect working condition right now. will probably need belts though.

>>16496526
I got an HJC CL17, and a few of the amazon reviews said their sizing seems to run a little small. I'll just keep putting it on when I'm shitposting to speed up the break-in process.

brb going to /s/ with my helmet on to see if I can tap into an unexplored pleasure.

Is there a general consensus on what is a good backpack for daily shit? Anything motorcycle related has a 200% markup but I don't really trust a $20 walmart backpack.

No bike yet, I'm going to offer a price on a bike near me; waiting for my license to come in the mail.

I took the written test on Halloween, they said it could take up to 2 months for my license to get to me. After the new year, no license but I did get both jury duty notices. Went to the DMV, nice lady waived the lost license fee and said it should be coming to me in a couple weeks.

As I understand it, its considered courteous to at least show I have an M1 endorsement before test riding someone's bike.

I have been using a $7 k-mart backpack for around a year and a half.

I only really use it to carry my phone, keys, wallet and a bottle of water when out riding though. Occasionally my 12 inch laptop.

Just get something smallish and waterproof, doesn't need to be riding specific, if you want to carry heavier and bigger stuff strap it down onto the back of the bike you don't want that shit on your shoulders and back.

Tank bags are also good because they keep weight nice and central but they can get in the way on longer trips.

>>16496567
I've been using the same Camelbak backpack i've used for about 10 years, works fine although it would be nice if it were waterproof. Don't buy anything with too many straps to flap around in the wind.

Can you safely run over a sub 20ib dog on a bike?

>>16496684
Depends on the bike.

>>16496595
In my county because so many people "never got their jury duty notices" they now standardized it to send 3 notices including nastygrams if you just never respond. After the 3rd notice they issue a bench warrant for the county which can come with a $1500 fine if the judge feels like it. Its well known by the court and even police that the bench warrants are being enforced also.

Theres videos of people obliterating deer and staying upright.

>>16496684
probably not. I saw a video about a guy that cut in half a deer with an R1.

>>16496684
yes, a dachsund or chihuahua or something like that, you could run over easily. anything that far below the axle you don't even have to do much other than hit it perpendicular and stand up a bit

>>16496684
Yes. Definitely just hit it and don't crash trying to avoid. If they get much bigger it would be kinda sketchy. Depends on the bike.

Does anyone know how hard it would be to import and register an RS250? I know a guy who could get one here from Italy, but I don't really know anything about the legalities.

The saddest part about Indian closing its doors in the 50s is knowing that with noone to copycat Harley Davidson would allow American motorcycles to stagnate.

Imagine what our bikes would look like today if Indian was around to innovate.

Mismatching tires are a thing for two kinds of riders:

trackday racers who consider tire profile and personal preference when selecting pairs, who seek to make their bike handle better
and
shit riders who go through three rears before they go through a front and just buy whatever is cheapest at the moment, even if the tread patterns work against each other or if one is a steep radial and the other is a rounded bias ply

>>16497121
people would probably be fucking tired of cruisers since they would just be cruisers instead of "harley davidson, an american thang", and we'd have decent bikes with stylistic hints to ye olden days

kind of like every other fucking country

metric cruisers didn't count since they can also be "jap scrap"

Ive been reading up on Indian lately and I was pretty astonished to see how innovative they really were.

The first Indian scouts had a geared primary drive clear back in the 20s, and made the first bikes with electric start.

Shame they were so poorly managed.

>>16497044
US: Stock 21+ year old bikes can be EPA exempt and registered/used normally at the federal level. Calicucks have extra age restrictions for registration. Don't bet on insurance working out, consider a state like WA that exemtps bikes from emissions testing and mandatory insurance
Rest of the world: who cares

You should go to a shop and get your head measured, or at least measure yourself. I can almost guarantee you arent an XL. You want the tightest fitment possible, its supposed to be tight so it doesnt move around your fucking head when you hit the pavement. I measure 59cm around and yet I can cram my head into most mediums given its the correct shape for my head.

If it makes you feel better, i hadn't ridden in months to keep the miles down on my bike while i try to sell it.

According to Wings and advrider, if I leave the DB killer in and don't remap it won't run much better than stock, but won't be worse at all. I'll be getting a power commander and an aftermarket intake soon and then I'll remove the DB killer and map it.

CS is the oldest e-sport that's popular today, and has the second biggest prize pool next to DOTA2. There's not a chance in hell that the only reason asians aren't in it is because they "don't give a shit". There's asian leagues, they all suck. Even in the US, I can only think of one pro player whos of asian descent, and I think there's one in the EU, but pretty much everyone else is white as fuck.

As far as other skill sports go, the only one's I've noticed are olympic lifting, where they have a mechanical advantage by being short as fuck.

I can't buy a 250 without a licence, and I can't get a licence without "passing" this test.

It was the test that I failed.

I'd love to learn at my own pace, but I can't.

the instructor told us to do Figure of Eights in the car park and I messed up for about a minute straight with the throttle so he failed me and I had to leave halfway through.

What the fuck? Here in Italy when you make the request for a license they give you a temporary license for the category you apply for.

How the fuck do they expect people to be able to ride or drive if they can't even practice regularly?

Anyway if you really can't then practice on a scooter or something. It helps a bit. Don't give up after the first try. And why did they make you do a test the first time you rode a bike?

>>16498418

Practice on a scooter, that's the only solution I can think of if you're so bad. Of course you could practice on a 125 if you had a friend willing to help you.

Otherwise get a few (very few) private lessons before taking the test again. I imagine the test would be very easy.

You can avoid getting on the jury simply by filling out the forms with extreme answers like "all defendants are guilty" or "i dislike all criminals so they all get the death penalty".

Your chain is probably already fucked

Britbong considering getting a bike to learn on. Only allowed a 125 until I pass the test.

Any recommendations what to get? I'm fairly tall and would use it for commuting.

>>16499220
Not if it's one of the funky new sealed chains. Some of them use dry lube.

>>16497455
Is that a corner, better be careful.

>>16499346
its a sealed O ring chain.

Also, just realised, its a wax lube. Is that good or bad?

>>16499132
It'll feel like a lot more power and the seating position will be a bit less aggressive.

That's about it.

>>16499339
I got myself a YBR 125 for cheap, fixed her up, then after a few months of L plate fagging I did my tests for it.

That's what I suggest you do.

Just about any 2nd hand 125 is good as long as it isn't Chinese.

Don't blow loads of money on a brand new one because you're going to drop it and you will want to get rid of as soon as possible when you're old enough to do direct access.

>>16499394
It depends on the chain. Some take wax lube. You can always switch to good old chain grease, since that works with most seales o-ring chains. Some special models don't. But you wouldn't be asking this question if you had one.

>>16498925
I see people recommending replacing the sprockets along with the chain to prevent accelerated wear on new chains, and there's plenty of people who have tested o-ring chains for long periods (thousands of miles) without touching their chain so there's that.
My sprocket looks fine but who the fuck knows if it's good for putting a new chain on. Might as well get a cheap chain and see what happens.

Dirt bikes from the 60's-90's look good. They had nice designs or simple plastics in neautral/likeable colors, rather than the ugly dirt bikes today plastered with noisy graphics and you look like the typical dudebro mountain dew teenager when riding one.

Will it though?

CBR: 110HP (0.65 HP/kg), 68 nm at 10500 rpm
Striple: 106HP (0.64HP/kg), 69 nm at 9100 rpm

This sounds pretty close

>>16499339
When I hadn't passed my test I had an RS125

>>16499438
Peak numbers isn't the actual powerband. A naked bike is going to have more midrange.

It's the same reason that up until the S1kRR the CBR1000RR still felt like the most powerful literbike you could buy, even though it was bottom of the dyno.

>>16499459

There aren't forms like that to fill out. The only time you get to say shit like that is when you're in a court room infront of a judge. There are a couple terms you can throw out there but since judges see thousands of people per month, its nothing new.

I got out of it by saying my employer doesn't pay for jury duty time and I could not afford to take time off work. For most people that will work.
