Think...is this what you really want? You want to ride with her all the time? No more "yo just popping out for a ride for a few hours" for some solace and quiet time.

Getting your SO into your hobbies is a bad move. Also if she crashes you'll feel bretty shitty

>>16670764
She is really understanding when i tell her i want some alone time so no problems there. And since she doesn't drive on her own i have to take her everywhere. Also she told me first she'd like to learn how to ride so it's not like i'm forcing her. Her crashing is my biggest fear but we live in europe so no high speeds is a thing here and bikes are really the best way to get around the city here.

My gf rides but is atrociously slow, I might ride with her twice a year at most.

She already rode when I met her, but I don't see any upsides to having a girl that rides, unless you want to go on a motorcycle tour together or something, but if I did that I would get a proper tourer and stick her on the back because she's so fucking slow.

>>16670904
Whichever you like the look/feel of most, they have the same engine.

>>16670932
She can drive, it's just that she panics if there is traffic. My thinking is that with a GROM she could just filter through cars and even if she stalled the bike it wouldn't be an issue, also she's bad at parking the car, you can park a bike anywhere.

You know, I am not one of these artsy faggots that gets all up in arms about how bikes look and the design/styling/etc... but I am man enough to admit that this is probably the first bike I have seen that speaks to me. Not just from a design point of view but also taking the performance aspect of it and the heritage of it into consideration.

wait, not him, but I literally don't care that much about looks.

I like nice looking bikes sure, but a bike being ugly doesn't factor into whether or not I'd buy it or not, it entirely comes down to performance and suitability for my purpose.

I can always just look at nice looking pictures if I want to see a nice looking bike it doesn't matter when you're riding.

I've had people on /dbt/ literally call me a liar and say it's not possible to not care what bikes look like that much before, it's curious this is so hard to believe.

>>16671467
Just like the rest of us.

How is that in any way remarkable? This isn't custom cruiser cuck or fashion victim cafe daily.

>>16671472
no trust me, the average /dbt/ user and the average rider cares a lot.

>>16671467
nah, i am the same way. that other guy is a retard. looks don't matter to me because if i start valuing how the bike looks too much, i know i'll be disappointed when it inevitably gets dropped/scratched/chipped whatever. i am not particular about my bikes at all and that is why i really love the look of naked bikes. a lot more mechanical and raw. i just dont like naked bikes because their engines are always complete fucking shit which is why I love ghostrider's naked turbobusa so much. a true performance 499bhp motorcycle. nothing else to it

is synthetic motor oil supposed to look like syrup?

My engine is running much smoother now at least.

That bike in >>16671442 ... The suspension package alone is around $3500USD... THAT guy, in Japan, is standing next to a $20kUSD bike.

On the other hand, I talked to a guy with a Suzuki restomod in my neighb who did what work he could do himself, took his time, and figured he had less than $5k in the bike inclluding the original purchase. It was pretty.

That's like me saying don't get a vfr800, I could keep up with cbr600rrs on my cx500 that's all the torque you need. I mean I could keep up with some not great riders, but those two bikes are in a different league.

>>16671659
Well, I may have to put that project off a little. I'll be riding the Radian, and maybe when the engine needs a rebuild, I'll start heavily modifying it. I could buy parts along the way and put on simple stuff.

Yesterday I went too deep into the forest exploring some trails with my baiku. It had been raining the day before and it was too muddy in some points so... I dropped the bike.
The rear brake lever is bent now.
Is it worth it trying to unbent it or should I just buy a new one?
I was going to blame the tires for this but we all know that I cant ride for shit so...

>>16671792
If you can unbend it, unbend it. It's not a structural piece so if it works it works.

>>16671792
>he bought a kawashitty

>>16671792
>The rear brake lever is bent now.
Welcome to the club.
I can still brake just fine but it's a bit of a hassle.
I think you can unbend it but only once, after that it should snap. I don't dare to try it, I thought about asking my mechanic but I still haven't gone in 2 months, lol.

>>16671792
Bend it. If it breaks, use something else as a lever. I've seen someone use a wrench as a brake lever.
Or you could buy one if it breaks.

I bent my brake lever and bent it back in place. The lever still works fine after three years.

>>16671796
>>16671811
>>16671827
I'll try to unbend it then and hope I dont break it. Thanks!

Another question...anyone know what the factory wiring is supposed to look like on a battery? Is it just the two big hook style positive and negative connectors that are screwed into the battery?

What tires should I get? 05 kawasaki 636

>>16671836
Those 2 big really thick wires are factory ones. Usually they have very big terminals like you see there. The thinner terminals with thinner wires on top are some aftermarket accessory.

>>16671845
just pick any sport touring tire made in the last 7 years

>>16671849
thanks. that what was i wanted to know.

is it normal for accessories to be hooked up to only the negative terminal?

>>16671861
Well by nature they have to make a complete circuit, so they're probably spliced into a positive wire elsewhere on the circuit. This is common because it allows you to wire it up so the accessory only comes on when the key is on.

>>16671761
thanks for your concern, anon. but most of us here want to die

>>16671861
You can also see only positive terminal connected.
Depends on the PO

jesus fucking christ my phone fell out of the mount today, so lucky the road was quiet and the cars somehow avoided going over it when I went to pick it back up.

I accidentally flicked it out when I was bringing my hand up to adjust my visor.

The rubber feet holding the phone in are gone, so what should I use as a phone mount for the time being?

>>16672012
Your pocket because you clearly can't have nice things

They've never rode a bike. So they don't know what it's like. They like the idea of riding a bike, but they stick to the visual parts of riding. Aesthetic, fashion, etc. Stuff they know.
When they get on a bike, they realize why most bikes aren't cafe racers.
It's the same as the old custom choppers. Notice how very few young people actually ride choppers. It's mostly old people, and most choppers are just show bikes. Hell, old people just latch on to the cruiser in general.

An acceptable direction is to get them into scramblers. still retro, but you can ride them everywhere. Hell, you can even do some dirt. And a scrambler is relatively comfortable.

You'll be fine. It's low to the ground and you won't notice the difference after you've ridden a little unless you hop on a buddies bike that is lighter

>>16673119
550lbs isn't that bad, and the scout is a very low bike so it's not going to feel that heavy.

What do you mean it doesn't matter? Every part on your bike is there for a reason. If you're too cheap to buy a new part because you can't do simple maintenance without fucking something up then you should just bring it to a shop.

Is there a TrueCar or Edmunds of motorcycles that shows you what you should actually pay for a new bike? I want to buy a 250 enduro or maybe one of the honda naked 300s but I don't know where pricing should go.

>>16673802
>what you should actually pay for a new bike
MSRP + sales tax at most. Any fees the dealer tacks on is just jewery. Tell them to fuck off if they can't cover their own cost of doing business.

That shit pisses me off so much. I don't understand how dealers actually get away with that shit without losing business. When you go to any other store to buy something they don't hide their cost of business then add it on at the end. When you buy cheetos at Wal-Mart marked at $1.50, it's not suddenly $3.20 at the register because they add on shipping, loading, and stocking fees.

How do you guys feel about antifa MCs?

>>16673834
>Tell them to fuck off if they can't cover their own cost of doing business.

Yeah, great idea, walk into a dealership and ask for a price that you know they won't give you, then tell them to fuck off out of THEIR BUILDING that you just walked into. lol.


>When you go to any other store to buy something they don't hide their cost of business then add it on at the end.
Except, you know, literally every store in the US that doesn't include taxes in the price of their items.

Even if indian is a premium brand the scout is a budget bike, the suspension in the front sucks dick, it really needs progressive springs to settle the front end down at speeds above 70mph.

The lack of aftermarket is killing me too, i want some long rear springs and some mid controls but noone has made production versions of any of that stuff.

Basically everyone who likes bikes rides something ergonomic. Dedicated track bikes generally need to be towed or shipped to a track, and no one actually wants to ride a proper sport bike to a track for six plus hours.
And back road hooning can only be fun for so long before it gets dangerous.

In Europe it's different because the countries are tiny and you can cross three countries in a twenty minute jaunt to go some place famous.
And you've also got lots of curving roads. Lots of them. Everywhere.
America has flat highways and a couple mountains that have curves. And lots of older roads on the coasts that also have curves, but they're not as dramatic as fucking Italy.
Plus you factor in nostalgia. Sport bikes aren't old enough for people to be nostalgic about sitting in a smoke filled road side bar as a kid watching Kevin Schwants rip apart tracks on a 500cc 2 stroke death machine.

>>16672196
Insurance will ask about that when you eventually buy it. They care most about liability coverage, so if you have that for another bike currently, they just might forgive your misdeed

>Sport bikes aren't old enough for people to be nostalgic about sitting in a smoke filled road side bar as a kid watching Kevin Schwants rip apart tracks on a 500cc 2 stroke death machine.

thank god I'm not american, I'd have to not like bikes.

>>16674899
We like bikes too. We just have a different context, so we enjoy different things. Dirt is more prevalent here. Though long distance overland camping hasn't caught on, it's getting up there. Usually Americans think of camping road trips with campers or vans.
But supersport bikes are just not comfortable or practical for four plus hours of riding.

It was kind of comfy, can't wait for the bike to get out of the shop so I can really stretch it's (and my) legs on a good ride.

I'm 5'8 and my first bike is a sportster that weighs 500 lbs. No problems at all.

If she's scared and doesn't want to then she's better off not riding, my man. You gotta be confident out there

I just bought my Gixxer in Adelaide and rode it back to sydney. Literally 14 hours of riding in 1.5 days.
Dirt is far bigger here than it ever will be in America. Why do you think Stoner is so good at sliding?

I Imagine that bike smells like piss

I started riding my bicycle to work for about 6 months as didnt have a car. Started to enjoy the feeling of riding on 2 wheels more and more. Then had an epiphany and was like "I can get the same feeling of riding even faster on 2 wheels but without pedalling like a madcunt if I got a motorbike". So I went and got my licence and baiku.
