Second for chromeniggers BTFO

Vanson is made in USA. Syed and Z are around 1000-1200 for a custom suit and made in USA, and I think Barnacle Bill is cheaper.

Soup /dbt/

I want leathers. 2 piece sounds nicer than one.
I'm scrawny fucker and I want em to fit tight and look good.

Who do I buy from?

>>16778137
>Git gud.

But seriously, just try to put as little weight on the bars/wrists as possible. Use your legs/hips/lower back to keep upright/grip the bike.

>>16778144
>one piece will provide better protection
explain this. It's not like the 2-piece is going to slide up. they're zipped together with a really strong zipper

>>16778118
Have you rode one before? Ridiculously well balanced and a good dd

>>16778147
what if my spine can't handle the weight of my body dangling down to reach the bars

>>16778150
zippers break

I mean, it's not guaranteed to fail, but if I'm gonna look goofy and shell out a ton of money anyway I'm going with a one-piece all day.

>>16778150
So I don't own a racing suit and I wouldn't know but wouldn't it seem safer to fall at high speeds without a giant strong metal zipper around you?

>>16778158
and leather tears. I'm willing to bet the zipper is at least as strong as the leather itself.

>>16778157

Why do you need the most comfortable bike to ride in the city anyway?

Already answered in the other thread. Get them custom made because all the name brands got too popular and now outsource to cheap labor countries and the quality isn't up to the standard that they became popular for.

>>16778144
You can stop at a servo and take a piss without taking your entire suit off in a two piece though.
Personally I have a two piece for the road and when touring or messing around and a one piece for track or other times I'm in a serious gottagofast mood.

>two piece is only half as bulky to carry about if you're not done riding yet and just stopped for lunch or something. (and makes it infinitely easier to take a piss)

>>16778175
You just spent an hour saying cruisers have nothing to offer and now you're saying cruisers are the most comfyest but that is an unnecessary characteristic?

Stop arguing just to argue and go out and ride the bike you claim you have. People come to dbt to enjoy bike things not some sped acting like a dick just because he can. Go be retarded elsewhere

>>16778175
What bike do you own anon?

>>16778181
>there's a reason racers all wear one-pieces
Because they literally go in circles all day. They never need to take off half a suit.
Also probably because zippers don't stretch, so they're less comfortable. And they also thicker and even require an extra flap of leather to cover them, adding to the bulk and making it potentially less comfortable to be hunched over in the race position.

>>16778198
>People come to dbt to enjoy bike things
no, people come here to hate things

>>16778098
Stupid bitch, that's not how you ride a bike.

This is only true for the budget models.

Two piece your options are probably either be a -tall- scrawny fuck and look for Dainese's tall options or try to find separate pants and jacket that fit and zip together if you have a scrawny upper body but somewhat normal legs or whatever. But it depends on how scrawny really.

>>16778144
Two piece or at least separate pants and jacket you have some options without BECUZ REHS SOOT humps and shit, which does make you look slightly less like an autistic power ranger potentially.

It's not seized and turns over pretty well. I flushed some fresh oil through the pan and there's some small metal flakes in it. Doing a compression test in a couple of days. How fugged am I?

I like it. I have a cx I did up similarly. Mine isn't as nice as yours looks though.

It also blew a seal and pisses coolant because someone put car coolant in it years ago.

100% fugged, it'll go any minute.

How much power do you need to highside?

>>16778261
My Levis are 30x32. The lower the cost, the fewer manufacturers I have to choose from.

I was interested in the Cortech Apex 2.0 pants (and then pairing it with some jacket, obviously) because the fit looks tight enough to keep the armor from moving and they're cheap.

32 inches at navel, 34 hips puts me in an XS, which they don't make.

>>16778365
4

>>16778365
Enough to spin the rear tire.

>>16778365
You can highside a bicycle. All you need is to lock the rear and then allow it to regain traction and ZING! off you go...

>>16778369
I'm 29x32.

>>16778437
Just saying its rough. Trying to find leathers for us scrawny fuckers.

Guys I need a new 2 piece leather suit that's comfortable for touring and tough for the track.
What should I get?

>>16778468
Yeah, still haven't bought pants.

>>16778477
whatever is within your budget, of reasonable build quality, and fits you best

>>16778479
>2 years of riding
>Still havent bought pants
One day I will

>>16778483
I guess more specifically interested in what is available with breathability and water resistance

Fit is important for sure, but it has to be able to get through the spring and summer without issue for long distance

>>16778477
Just buy some leather and sew it yourself

>>16778490
Unless you are riding through a flood any perforated leather should do you fine. Bonus points for a removable windproof lining for colder days

Ye - if the compression's not too bad and it's not burning oil then I'll keep it running for the time being. If it's burning away my pay checks or there's no compression then it's time for engine teardown.

>>16778490
those are pretty strict requirements. most things that meet your requirements for touring are going to be shit on the track. good track leathers are tight fitting and heavily padded, and anything that's breathable is probably not water resistant

You'll get used to it.

Just remember sit forward, dick goes on your tank and move around more, keeps your back fresh (and your legs sore as hell the next day).

I would bet your back isn't getting sore from exertion, it's just sick of sitting in one spot.

Because the only people who would want them are people who spend shitloads of money on track bikes, nobody would ride them on the street because of the maintenance and finicky nature of the multi-cylinder 2-stroke.

this is just bad technique and you need to stop right now, you really only sit at the back down the straight.

Once you start hanging off better you're gonna be naturally moving further forward anyway, but forward keeps the center of mass nice, compact and even on the bike, most lowsides actually occur from lack of weight on the front and you're going to exacerbate that by sitting back.

More to the point the further forward you are the more upright you're sitting for general comfort.

It might be rusty. If the tank is already off, bring it to a radiator shop. They can clean it, treat it, and then reseal it for 100 to 150 dollars

nobike here, if any of you needed to go get groceries, how would any of you carry them on your bike?

i imagine you'd need to strap a basket or crate on the back of your ride, right?

how do you go about this? what do you need? be nice if someone shared pics of their bike w/ basket/whatever they use to transport cargo strapped to it

>motorcycle hero

Burt Munro - Obvious
John Britten - Obvious
Ernst Denger - Brought 2 stroke expansion chambers to motorcycle companies through defecting from east germany
Soichiro Honda - The catalyst of modern motorcycles as we know it, the cub de-mystified and popularized motorcycles, their output in the 70s pushed everyone to higher levels, CB750 was a revolution.
Erik Buell - Embodies the spirit of motorcycles like nobody else, the man just wants to innovate and advance motorcycles as much as possible.

>fav rider

I don't respond to personalities or success as much as I respond to what I consider unique/influential styles.

Jorge Lorenzo - Most unique style in modern racing by far, rides unlike anyone else on the grid.
Anthony gobert - Horrifying talent, passes round the outside, would simply carry 10 km/hr more cornerspeed than his rivals.
Kevin Schwantz - Just bizarre style, took different lines, looked all googly, squiriming like a dirtbike, unbelievable on the brakes.
Bubba Stewart - motocross technique would not be the same after his arrival on the scene, unbelievable on a 125 2 stroke.
Casey Stoner - Him combined with dani pedrosa ushered in the modern age of motorcycle riding technique, if people have ever bitched about your body position online it's because of stoner and pedrosa.

So here is the question. The bike I rode that day was my shitbike '89 gs500 while I wait on tires for the DL650. Does anyone have any experience with insurance valuing junk bikes? It's been down before.

Think they will repair it or just total it out? Any one have experience buying back a totaled bike? It was my first bike and I would like to hold onto it for people to learn on.

>>16779556
Nah I kept it up but it still did a total of $2300 in damage between replacing the wheels and the phone.

>GS500 is best beginner bike
Is literally a meme here it's parroted so often. It's a fine beginner bike, but it's the most Toyota Camry motorcycle ever.

>>16780386
Thanks for filling me in, I didn't know.

Wish me luck losing my bike virginity tomorrow

the engine light starts flashing and when I stop and the bike is idling the engine dies as soon as I open the throttle

wtf is wrong with my bike? This happened after I took it for quite a long ride (150 miles).

>>16779856
