Get yourself a Patagonia. Not because it's good for booking, but because patagucci is an excellent brand with great products.

Military backpack. Gorillion straps, waterproof. 30 Bucks / 25L.

But what would you carry in it on a bike?
Like... for edc I have enough space between my jacket and pants pockets, it would be useful for carrying a notebook but for anything else that might be usefull like glasses it's pretty much a sacrifice you're making if you fall.

why?

>>16499861
First aid supplies, multi tool, gun, water, other lil odds and ends.
Or on a road trip things I'd like easily accessible and don't feel like putting in a tbag.
Plenty of things you can do with it, and I'm not worried about anything being "sacrificed" if it's that important I won't have it with me on a bike

>>16499834
>straps made for free arm movement
>extra strap around waist
>extra strap-connector in front of chest

if you ever made a longer tour you would realize that all those things make a LOT of sense.

>>16499884
Usually my roadtrips include multiple people so my medikit is pretty big,
maybe a tourniquet but you can get a smaller pack for that and put it somewhere where it's not likely it'll be ripped off your leg if you fall.
And the rest is stuff I usually don't keep on my person, multitool is unlikely I'll use while riding and I doubt you can fit much water in there, maybe a 25cl bottle.
I like it but I can't justify as a bike accessory.

>>16499903

Milspec is literally the lowest quality the military who shills out to the lowest functional bidder will accept.

Prevent mass murder by allowing people constitutional carry.
Mass shootings aren't mass shootings when a concealed carrier responds because they don't have time to commit a mass casualty. Klamath falls mall shooting was a good example.

Disarming people just means they're easier targets for anyone who wants to cause harm, look at UK violent crime rates

I was debating your argument that an armed, trained individual will defuse the situation. This sometimes is the case, it sometimes isn't.

I also stated earlier that you can't always prevent this from happening. With this case you couldn't have seen it coming, yet the wife could have reported it but didn't out of fear of her husband.

There's other situations that you could have seen it coming where people on watch lists bought weapons or people with mental issues fucked shit up.

Except be fucking trash. You could have had any random lower for $70, a parts kit for $50, gotten an okay upper for $250 and had $200 left over for furniture and magazines and come out to the same price as your trash M&P Sport, LESS if you part the upper together yourself. The fact you are on /o/ yet seem to be incapable of doing such things only serves to pinpoint the fact you probably can't even maintain any bikes or cars you own properly if putting together a Lego set instead of buying a fisher price rifle is too much for you to handle.

It seems like spergbike sperging but it's true. When really good riders aren't into sportbikes they have standards, not cruisers.

Cruisers sacrifice suspension travel and handling for aesthetics and rider mobility for showroom comfort. They're pretty much scooters.

>>16500619
Cruisers serve their purpose. Not everyone likes the same thing. Plenty of dudes like taking two up the ass, I don't understand it but whatever floats their boat.

It's really not a bad starter bike. It's just much, much easier to crash as a new rider because the riding position and perceived steering lock are less than adequate for low speed riding.

Yeah, well, guess what, when you snap, crack, dent, and bend levers, mirros, pegs, plastics, mufflers, and fairing stays, you have to pay money to replace or repair them.

Yep, a little worried about the top speed on them though. Need to be able to use them on the highway comfortably, I've heard that the newer 300 and the 2008-2012 ones should be able to do it fine but the response has been mixed about the older ones.

Those symptoms don't match wheel misalignment. Disc brakes will have some friction but shouldn't make wheel difficult to turn.

I measure from center of swingarm pivot to center of rear axle with whatever is handy, in my case a length of TIG welding rod with one end bent 90 degrees to rest in machined hole in rear axle. Others use a yard stick.

Honestly they are very easy bikes to ride, you hardly have to rev them at all, the low down power is amazing so you can just lug them around in 3rd, 4th and 5th gear all day without actualling hitting the power band

They are very thirsty though, riding with conservation in mind you are lucky to get 90km out of 10 litres of fuel.

Should I buy a brand new 150cc Bike (Honda CB150R) or an older 2nd hand 400cc Bike (Honda CB400)?

The 150cc will come from the dealer, $400 cheaper, will have warranty, etc. It's good enough for commuting but not allowed on my country's freeways for long distance travel.

The 400cc is allowed on my country's freeways, but I don't know how reliable it will be being a 2nd hand bike.

Considering bikes like that are doing nothing but go up in value it probably would be a good investment provided you did not ride it.

The KDX will do power willies in 1st and second, 3rd you have to try. XR will power willie up to third but you have to really be on it.

When people say power wheelie they mean like just like get on the throttle and pull on the bars? Not like you just get on the throttle in second and it pulls the wheel off the ground right?

>>16502921
Power wheelie is throttle with no other inputs or clutch dump.

>>16502952
Then my bike must be a gutless shitheap or i am a pussy and dont give it enough throttle. I am probably just a pussy

>gently apply throttle
>let off throttle, let forks dive
>snap throttle on

boom, powerwheelie

some faggots on /dbt/ will claim this doesn't count but they can suck my dick.

>>16502997
Yeah that's not a power wheelie

>>16502997
That doesn't count, if your bike can't wheelie by power alone it can't power wheelie. That's just a wheelie.

>>16502997
Yeah i can do them fine like that but just opening up the throttle wont pull the wheel off the ground in 3rd and above

The only surface mine doesnt spin on is dry pavement, which is pretty fucking useless for a dirtbike

I haven't even attempted a power wheelie since I learned clutch ups nor would I recommend it. It's so violent. Clutch ups are like a cloud lifting the front wheel and holding you gently. Don't know how I ever lived that power wheelie life.

no it's just yet another microdefinition only retards on /dbt/ could possibly care about, it uses throttle only it's a fucking power wheelie.

Fug, someone make new thread

>>16503121
So what do you call an unintentional wheelie that happens under max acceleration?

a wheelie or a power wheelie.

Why is this difficult? All wheelies are formed through the same process, and you're unlikely to confuse losing some drive on the straights from wheelies with deliberately wheelieing as a stunt in normal conversation.

These microdefinitions could only matter on /dbt/ where people aim for theoretical victories because they (in theory) chose the right technique, instead of actually doing anything.

That's why everybody on /dbt/ is an expert on body position but nobody is actually good at it (see: drop anon).
