Does any of you ever use this kind of thing?
Does it work?
I have a felling the manteinance on my bike has been neglected by the previous owner and I dont feel like taking the carburator apart. So, will this make any difference?

krylon works fine, but dont forget to add the varnish after painting.

There was some liquid on my garage floor under the bike.
I was wondering what it was so I smelled it, kind of smelt like cardboard but it tasted like fruity pebbles
What is my bike leaking?
It was clear and sorta thick

>>16560028
Krylon also makes a decent spray can clearcoat. Just make sure to prep properly first it makes a huge difference in the finish.

Does anyone vape in your garage? It sounds like a flavor I've tried

Not if you get gud. Practice on a bicycle. They'll give you tips for the maneuvers. Besides, they emphasize using the training time to push yourself a little, you won't have to go insanely slow speed, go however slow you're comfortable and they'll still count it.
As long as you don't set a foot down or drop the bike during the final test, you'll pass.

The law here says that in order to fall under the AM category the given vehicle needs to

>have his maximum built speed over 25 km/h but should not exceed 45 km/h
>have a cubic capacity of maximum 50 cubic centimeters
>mass should not exceed 350 kilograms

I do realise it sounds awfully boring though.

The Y10+s apparently have had most of the issues ironed out and the new Brutales are supposedly pretty reliable. I'd just read up on the 3cyl engine and fix any issues before they become issues.

>>16560906
I know it might be stupid but I was paying 150 a month for collision with a 1000 dollar deductible. I only paid 5500 for the Ducati so I just took it off and left it at liability for 14 dollars a month. My insurance only looks at cc's which is stupid since my 796 is much slower then a 600cc. If it went back to 150 I think I could handle it since my truck lease ends this year and I'm going to get something much cheaper.

Indian anon, how do you feel about Indian's longevity now that Victory has been retired and bikes only account for 15% of Polaris' revenue?

I'm hoping they stick around for us cruiser folks.

>>16561307
>>16561319
Honestly I don't think people who haven't experienced what I have can even start comprehending what it feels like to be me, seeing people with normal lifes giving me advices like "get over your defects" or "deal with your issues" makes me laugh.
Do you guys know what it feels like to wake up for years realizing the person you loved the most is dead, after each night you dreamt she was still alive and well?

This is just an example, there's lots of other stuff, my point is that it's hard to get excited about life and commit yourself in middle and long time projects. Even taking care of myself requires a strong will.

End of the blog, just realize that not everyone has retarded problems like the average man before giving your "just be urself"-tier advices.

>>16561264
I'm confident they'll be staying strong. Read an interview with the owner and they have all kinds of neat new things in the works for the future. Even hinted at a sport bike ebr style possibly.

How much should a poor college student spend on his first bike/gear?

>>16561412
As much as you can afford to. Factor your gear into the cost before you choose a bike. You don't want to end up squidding because you only left yourself enough cash for a cheap helmet.

>>16561378
Yes, I've already had. At that point you ask yourself: who am I? Can I choose who I want to be?
The answer I found is that the sorrow made me who I am, I can't simply leave it behind as if nothing ever happened.
>>16561386
You'd probably be dead by now if you were in my stead, my strong resilience is what prevented me from killing myself long ago. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I talk like this, I know I sound like an edgelord, but it's a fact that the vast majority of people don't grow up experiencing all this crap.
I do my best to live my life to the fullest while remaining true to myself but it's pretty fucking hard.

>>16561388
Lol. I highly doubt they'll be going outta business anytime soon. But if they do, oh well. It's just a bike

>>16561366
life is lonely and temporary
You will be underground with her before you know it
the only person who cares about you is you. Pick yourself up or cry to yourself, just don't wait for someone to choose for you.

>>16561376
I'm sure they'll have to branch out. Younger crowd isn't as cruiser centric as in the past. I think it would be wicked if they remade the Indian 4 to compete with muscles cruisers like the Triumph Rocket and Yamaha V-Max.

>>16561412
Buy the basic gear first and then the bike. If you're poor I'd say decent gloves and helmet, boots and textile jacket and pants, at least.

>>16561438
Being aware is one thing, acting according to it is something else.
I try to.

>>16561388
They kept Victory around for 20 years at a loss so I think Indian will get a chance to gain some ground. They look like cruisers that might pull a new customer from HD instead of Victory's bikes that look like something Flash Gordon would ride.

I'm hopeful!

>>16561422
You're pretty negative, m8.

>Can I choose who I want to be?
You can absolutely choose who you WANT to be. Whether you can actually become that person is again entirely up to you.

>>16561412
Helmet ~$200
Jacket ~$250
Gloves ~$25
Boots ~$100
Pants (Kevlar Jeans in this case) ~$180

>>16561264
Given how many product lines Polaris has, 15% is a Big Fucking Deal. They pulled victory to bolster and solidify Indian as their primary/premier brand

>>16561441
True. I'm the youngest guy I've seen on one of these lol.
That would be bad ass. Plenty of outdone have been saying they want one of those.

>>16561467
>Boots ~$100

The only boots I see for around $100 are ones like these: https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/alpinestars-s-mx-1-riding-shoes

I was under the impression they're not very good because they dont go up to your shin? All the full boots are around $200

>>16561481
Maybe try a cheaper brand than AlpineStars.

>>16561467
>25$ Gloves
What crappy gloves are you wearing?

>>16561466
>negative
You see? That's exactly the point. You call it negative but seeing what my personal reality is, it's actually "realist".
The line between positive and negative moves in respect to what your experience is.

What I think is that if you decide to choose who you are you won't be true to your experience, you should strive to become a better version of your flawed self, not someone different.
This is what I think.

>>16561467
>>16561412
I'd spend as much as possible on boots. Mine were $350
You can find nice helmets online for $100-$150 if you search correctly
I'd spend more than $25 on gloves. Wrists seem easy to break
I bought my force riders jeans for $80 something on ebay. They did fine in a 45mph slide

>>16561493
>Maybe try a cheaper brand than AlpineStars.

This is the only boot on Revzilla for under $150: https://www.revzilla.com/product/puma-roadster-v3-boots

>>16561512
fun fact, your hands can't be skin grafted.

>>16561501
Your experiences are with you regardless. Why you would allow shit experiences to continue to dominate your life if you don't have to is beyond me though.

>you should strive to become a better version of your flawed self, not someone different.
I would love to see that advice given to some heroin addict lying on the street.
"Don't change who you are! Just be an even better junkie!"

>>16561574
Your sorrow can make you stronger and better, if you leave it behind you're only a fake, a poser.
There's flaw and flaw. You call being a heroin druggie a flaw? Come the fuck on.
Also a heroin druggie is less worse than someone who smokes in public, objectively.

I was riding into town on a 45mph road (wet conditions) thinking I was going to make the light at the intersection. It decides to turn orange for a split second then red.
In that split second I decided I might as well brake and I came to a skidding stop right at the line.
One car to the left drives through and the light turns back to green in a few seconds.
It puckered my butt a little but whatever. I don't have ABS, just a 90's shitbike so that was cool.
