Riding in the rain seems like a fine idea until you leave the well maintained roads and discover puddles and ruts

Yes, bikes are pretty much impossible to hydroplane

Yes, it still sucks at 65mph

Oh, was out riding my supermoto around NorCo/Eastvale and ran across these dudes practicing indoor flattrack racing on their Harleys before a race in Minneapolis. Stopped by and talked to them, had some beers, and watched for a while.

They buy gallons of Dr. Pepper syrup and spray it on the concrete to make it more sticky and then slide the bikes in and out of the turns.

>>16515864
One of my favorite memories was when it was only drizzling and I was on my home from work late at night. I didn't have anywhere to be so I took a side street. The wet streets were reflecting the lights and I just decided to let my feet slide along the wet ground. It was all very cinematic

Northern italy? Why? I think thats gonna be a dealbreaker for me this year. Last year was too much riding just to get there and back and this is like the same distance again. I know the alps are great but for 80% of the people its a bunch of riding just to get down there. Whny not more central?

>>16515919
>Why?
Because we had a poll and that came out top.
>for 80% of the people its a bunch of riding
So what do you propose? They're the best mountains around and pretty central; while everyone has to ride quite a distance, it's very similar distances for everyone. Anything that doesn't require a lot of riding from someone will leave others with 5000 km to ride.
I'll have to do around 2000 km one way, myself. So fucking what? Take a week off work, take your time getting there by breaking the trip up into like 2 or 3 day trips and use scenc routes instead of the Autobahn, stay a day or two and then head back again.

>>16515922
My first "big" ride that wasnt to work and back or anything was only about 100 miles round trip, but when I got to my friends house afterwards, my ass was so numb that I just laid on his front lawn on my stomach

>>16515922
When im 3 days out just to get there and 3 days back just to hang 2 days out thats a bad ratio. Could be more actually sem and less riding there.

I didn't buy it because it was fast. I bought it because it's a cheap fun fuck around bike that you can take pretty much anywhere with absolute reliability, good gas mileage, and not really give many fucks about dropping or beating on.

Frame sliders can do the same thing to your bike that they did to your hand.

I need some new gear, anyone have suggestions for gloves and boots? Every pair i buy seems to last one season and fall apart.

>>16516466
>he didnt figure this out before wasting his time.

>>16516488
>carb singular
thankfully

so my bike that was stolen (i dont have it anymore) apparently had a delinquent parking ticket that i didn't know about

any reason to pay this?

>>16516618
My suggestion would be to buy proper gloves and boots that can also be used for track days if you ever plan on participating. I wasted several hundred dollars on meme alpinestar SMX-1 gloves and boots which not only suck, but they can't even be used for the track because they aren't full gauntlet gloves and they aren't full laced boots

>>16516665
Depends on your local laws. Its different for everyone but all my tickets are due to be paid by the day i register any plate. If i have fines due, i cant register a vehicle and cannot legally drive it.

>>16516706
Doesnt matter to me if they are track approved or not. I wont be going to a track. Nearest one is a 6 hour ride anyway. I need better protection than these thin excuses for gloves and boots im wearing now. Some comfort would be nice too.

>>16515927
Hey MvAnon, is that you ? Or are you the cbr rider ?

>>16516467
If you bought a factory service manual it is usually aimed at professional mechanics or people with experience so they won't waste time on the little details like that. Anyway i assume it is just an electrical connector so just find it and unplug it

>>16516618
Mx boots

>>16515964
You bent your bars or clamps?

>>16516769
The bottoms of the clamps are a tad out of wack, the bars aren't straight, forks and triple tree is though. it's the clamps for sure, the stock DRZ clamps/rubber inserts have always been weak

>>16515891
My alpinestars go tech gloves also have palm sliders made of that rubbery material. They worked great

>>16516775
The S model has the clamps cast into the top bridge so I don't know that problem but check to see if the bolts are bent

>>16516665
Well, you could leverage it for copbait, but since your plates are already registered as stolen, it would be redundant.
I guess it comes down to whether the infringement that led to the fine was dated before or after your reported the bike stolen.

Carbs still have their use

Namely as equipment in cheap chinese shitbikes you would expect to break down if they were FI. Those always use slide carbs because if they used anything else they'd work for maybe a month and run very poorly during that.

>>16517388
i see people commute on loaded out adventure bikes all the time

it always looked like an image thing until i saw a guy on one casually putt over a large median to turn around at a blocked railroad crossing

Not a lot of small bikes with decent wind protection either.

>>16517579
Your commute isn't a law of the universe. One day, you'll have to take an alternate route or change your destination.

Buying exactly what you need for your current sitaution is a good way to set yourself up to buy something else later.

Learn to post photographs of parts when you have questions. "carb heater connectors" has no specific meaning. Most connectors have one or two small latches you disengage to separate them. I often flip them open with a 90-degree scriber tip or similar.

>>16517880
Mine are fucking coolant tubes. I think most are, so you drain the coolant and then take them off like regular hoses.

>>16517130
Carb cleaner only works on light crud. I soak overnight at least in a tub of straight Pine-Sol, agitating now and then with a brush. I've used all the commercial carb cleaners and won't bother again. Pine-Sol doesn't hurt plastic BTW.

You mean "want", assuming your other shit runs.

>>16517871
Not sure what you mean. gsresources will help you do whatever you want to with it. Did you just have a stroke? Shim-and-bucket GS go forever without needing valve adjustments and are stoopid reliable.

>>16517848
I don't mind it being spread out. It's fun to scoot around and see the ridiculous amount of people there.
Best part is I have a buddy of mine going this year so I'll have someone to banter with during breaks on the trip.
I'll have to see if I'm off for the barber one. I know I'm off for obx one in NC. But work for myrtle beach.
Either way, something fun to do while off

>>16517910
Daytona road races and flat track are well worth your time. Bring sunscreen and water so no get raeped by drink prices. The antique and swap meets are interesting if you've not been.

The Denton NC AMCA meet is good. It's at Denton Farm Park:

I'd like to try one soon. Definitely a small one, though, or else it's better if I wait until I build enough experience with the SV650.

(If you really wanna a 600 isn't the GSXR600 better than the ZX6R?)

>>16517992
When it's slick it's probably too much.

>>16517992
I had a front like that which I ran until the knobs were gone in the center. Just replace it whenever you feel like it

>>16517954
You can ask 100 different people or read 100 different reviews and everyone will tell you R6/ZX6R/GSXR/CBR600RR is the best 600cc. It really comes down to personal preference.

But since I'm soozuka fanboy yes GSXR is best

I'd recommend a DR650 instead. It's more of a 50/50 dual sport as opposed to the XR650l

Though if you can find a XR650R with plates, jump on that shit and never look back

Dunno about the RR but the F4i has a very tough frame, perfect as a trackbeater or stuntbike. Can drop and crash all you want.
I think it#s so well liked because it's an overall good bike with EFI, low maintenancce and still good power and cheaper than e RR.

it's about the same weight and has a bigger tank, plus it's faired so it will be better for touring

The anon that replied wasn't me btw.

I've got a 74 Z900 as well so I'm pretty well versed in the old bucket and shim god motors. The GS motor is already bombed, run in a historical drag bike series thing with a best of a 11.02.

Just going to stick lights back in it and some blinkers with a set of bar end mirrors and re register it.

I've a question for the Americans.

Is there good value when buying motorcycles in the US? I can get more or less any sportsbike in very good condition where I live for around 1500/2000 euro, would it be the same in the USA?

>>16518398
depends how old you are going, I can find old sport bikes around me for similar prices, but they aren't exactly current.

>>16518369
It only get 43mpg and feels like it wears all of it's 467lbs of wet weight up high. The Fz-07 is rated for 58mpg and weighs under 400lbs wet. Even though the Fz-07 is almost a gallon short compared to the FZ6R it will still get farther on a tank.

Worked my ass off mowing lawns and doing random work for parts for it.
Made enough for all the black plastics and enough to powdercoat the frame
While the engine was out had my grandpa help me rebuild with high comp piston and a port job.
Raced it like crazy at the local tracks. My grandpa had to hold me up on the start gate.

No steel toe ans ankle support. The ankle is still covered though, bu buy leather. It's waterproof too. These are Alpinestars J-6.

Sorry for mistyping mistakes.

>>16519127
They're just regular shoes with an alpinestars logo. If you want to ride in regular shoes that's fine but it's probably not wise to spend a fuckload extra for "motorcycle shoes" that aren't going to protect you any better.
