Riding home Lane splitting behind another biker
Prius starts merging into as I attempt to pass.
Slow down
Honk at him like WTF.
He is basically over the double yellow lines either intentionally blocking me or being a dumbass.
Continue honking and he doesn't move.
Car on right gives me space to pass.
Fold dickhead Prius mirror.

The bureacracy here is a holdover from the communist era. They force you to interact with and submit to gov't procedure in order to train you to accept big brother's hand all up in your shit.

But the incompetence and lack of accountability you experienced sounds familiar.

As far as coffee goes, that's like asking what type of coke you snorted in Colombia; it's ubiquitous and largely undifferentiated.

>>16996303
They're pretty nice. I've got a Schubert C3 Basic, 'cus I'm a basic bitch, easy to put on, very nice during hot summers in a town, you can drink easy with it and mine is quiet too.

>HJC IS-Max 2
They're fine. If it fits, wear it. If it doesn't fit, the return it. Find your local shop and at least try on some lids before ordering something. Buy from the local place if they are cool or online if they aren't.

>>16996308
You'll appreciate the skills you learned on the slow bike later when you upgrade to something with some more oomph.

If i ride every work day of the year, is replacing the helmet every 2 years unreasonable?

>>16996326
Why would you replace it that often? They last 6-7 years easy.

>>16996326
Depends on how much dosh you have bruv
I've had the same helmet for four years, started thinking about replacing it 6 months ago, will probably replace it 6 months from now. No more than 5 years is generally recommended for safety reasons.

I did try on quite a few, and it does fit nice and snug and comphy. I just feel it may have been a rushed decision.
kind of regretting not getting a full face, but I'm just joining the club, so I don't know what features I'll really make use of.
Shoulda gone home to think about it and ordered from fortnine.

Anyway, it if lasts for five years then at least I'll have time to look for a good replacement, and by then I'll know what I need.

If you guy's say it's a good helmet, then it couldn't come higher recommended.

>>16996326
Depends on the helmet. I typically stick to ones that are closeouts from the previous year, so their life expectancy has about four years left. For the price/time, it's a better deal than the meme of $400+ helmets. The Bell RS-1 was a fucking champion for $160. Shame they dropped it in favor of the new three tiers of the Star.

>>16996349
HJC makes decent lids. I wouldn't be concerned about it being modular. You'd have to fuck up pretty bad for that to matter.


What really matters when it comes to helmets is that it fits properly.

Pretty good for new. If it's your kinda thing go for it, seems like a good deal, nice colour too.

>>16996287

Still my favourite colour scheme for that bike.

...are you gonna fix that peashooter exhaust though?

>>16996303

My girlfriend had the same helmet and it was pretty good. Super comfy and quiet, but the shell is a little big, felt like a bobble head with it on. Interior visor mechanism is neat too.

>>16996427
is it a good choice after riding a gs500

>>16996440
I have a big head, so it fits.
How does the mechanism hold up to use? it feels like the spring will bind up or the latch break after a week.

>>16996435
>falling for the slip-on jew

>>16996417
Half-fairing looks best imo.
It's basically just looks, riding wise it makes no big difference.
Though maintenance might be slightly more complicated with fairings.

>>16996449
A friend of mine and me both have it, his spring has fucked up after a year or so, mine still works fine 6 months in.

>>16996449

Oh the one I wore fits, it's just a big shell. The mechanism seemed to hold up fine, never had any problems in the two years that she used it before changing because she wanted a sportier helmet. Good lid for the price.

>>16996435
No because the sound is nice while not being obnoxious at 8k+ rpm. Also im changing bike soon so keepin it stock.

Yeah the GS500 is pretty fucking slow and the SV is pretty quick where it matters. You can do a lot with a 70HP v-twin. Easy to maintain, bulletproof, entirely documented and dissected online ad nauseam, endless aftermarket, literal meme, etc.

>>16996453

If it has full fairings, maybe, but the half faired is not in the way of anything.

We have several package delivery companies.
DPD, DHL and UPS are all complete and utter shit.
Don't deliver to neighbours (even if you tell them to), come at the most retarded time, never when they tell you to.

PostNL is the only good one, never really had problems with them. Only when they decided they didn't want to deliver the package at my neighbours and tried it 3x at my house, before bringing it to the postal office. Took entire week before I got the package, while it was next day delivery.

Hey /dbt/
im getting a new bike and since im a retro faggot i dwindled it down to 2 choices

the ducati scrambler sixty2 or the XSR 900

im coming from a ninja 650 and havent rode in over 2 months and im itching to get back in

right now im thinking the sixty2 is too little while the XSR is too much, any opinions?

also theyre the same price in my market and the XSR 700 is not sold here sadly.
the scrambler icon is singificantly more expenaive too btw

I would recommend these beads for your ass, pussy.

my neighbour dosen't like that I idle my bike for 3minutes outside their bedroom window in the morning.

stealership insisted that I let the engine get warm by turning it on for 3-5 minutes before my trips during the break in period of 1000km

can I hop on the bike and ride down the street and let it idle there, or do I need to push it down the street?

its usually 6C / 42F when I start the bike in the morning.

I got my first time service in about 2 weeks so its not something permanent.

you dont need to let it idle that long, just turn it on, put on helmet and gloves and dont kick it over 4000 revs or so for a while.

Keep the revs/load down and it'll be fine

bike
power
sorry for being vague .
but yeah i feel maybe the sixty2 is a bit weak considering its close to half the hp of my previous bike
the xsr on the otherhand is signifcantly more powerful

my biggest gripe with the ninja was that it was really heavy and did poorly in traffic and shitty roads , and for the mlst part ill only use this bike kn the city but id like to go out everynow and then

im thinking of using it as a city bike

care to elaborate? im all ears.

>>16996999
There's also the scr950 or the triumph thruxton. Motoguzzi v7 is another option but it will be both super expensive and slower than your ninja.

Get the xsr, you can choose not to use the additional power

>>16997043
elaborate what? The scrambler is italian "reliability" combined with a high price and the inability to do anything a scrambler is supposed to be doing. Its the worst kind of a fashion-accessory bike.

The XSR 900 of course is just a slightly improved MT-09 with proper tires, suspension and a powerful engine. Its really just a naked sports-bike with a round headlight and a little old-school looking tank.

>>16997049
I like that pearlescent.
Come like that or custom job

First time scooter owner here again. It won't start for the 2nd day. I'm so mad. The seller knew it was defective. I don't know why I'm posting this, I know you guys hate scooters anyway, just laugh at me I guess, I'm out $1560.

best spent 200 bucks ever, its in an old barn right now, bet it would run no problem.

You got fucked mate.

>>16997130
It's a 2009 Kymco 500cc Xciting Ri, they're worth between $2-3K used (another anon said 3-4K) and I paid $1,560. It also has a trunk and a tall windshield, so it was a good deal.

Am I supposed to leave the battery plugged in all the time? That's how I got it started yesterday (charging it)

>>16997151

Not really. You could have bought a brand new k pipe for 2grand. Then you'd also gave a cuck bike instead of a cuck scooter

Your neighbour sounds like a little bitch, unless its 6am and you have race can on.


Does anyone have experience with aftermarket fairings from monster fairings? I've scratched the paintwork on my tank.. It will cost about £30 to fit but fuck it I want new fairings and a new colour scheme. I'm thinking the Rizla theme or matt black.

Whats the fitment like?

>>16997161
No I haven't tested the battery. Yesterday when I plugged it up it said "low" and "full" after a few hours, and today it said "low" again. How do I test the battery?

>>16995903
>black out visor
How does he see?

>>16997166
Take it to an autozone or something, it's free.
Woulda been my first thing doing.
Have you ever done anything involving vehicles, seriously

>>16997166
Bruh a battery for your scooter literally costs like 30 dollars, you might as well get a new one

>>16997180
True, but it's still good to get it tested. Cause there's could be a drain on it somewhere causing it to lose power.
I don't know scooters that well, but I assume there's more electronics on them.

>>16997174
What do you mean, just acts like sunglasses.

>>16997179
Literally nothing. I own a Ford fiesta 2011 that I've driven for 5 years and I just learned how to check the oil. I wanted a scooter as a simple fun bike to drive on the weekends.

Getting it to AutoZone will be hard because it's not registered yet and I don't have a motorcycle endorsement yet. I'll just take them the battery (I know how to take it out)

fuck i met ybr but didn't have my cam rolling

>>16997188
But it's like 5%.
How could you see anywhere there is shade?

>>16997159
Is that a grom? Were you hooning without a license?

>>16997134
Nice bike, except those grips and spikes.

Are you a member of gixxer.com? There were lot of guys with deep knowledge in sport bikes, riding techniques. Tons of threads on setting bikes for the track.

>>16997195
I imagine it's just for looks and/or the picture was shopped or slightly altered.

>>16997193
I'm not gonna start the whole scooters aren't fun debate, but that does not look like a scooter that could be fun. Shoulda gotten a shit scooter to beat up. Especially if you're not mechanical, coulda learned fixing on it.
Honestly your decision seems downright stupid.
But yeah, just pull the battery and take to autozone. If it's bad, buy a new one.

a fun scooter needs to either be long and light for skids or short and smol for gymkana
your is long, tall and pigfat
lose the fairings and drift away

>>16997231
you' have more fun on a GS500 for a tiny fraction of the price. And you'd look a lot cooler.

>>16997231
No, it looks like a commuter or cruiser.
I don't think the cc's matter so much if we're talking about hooning on a scooter.
Unless your goal was just to go fast, then you shoulda got a real bike.
My opinion, fix the battery issue, sell the fucker, buy a shit scooter, keep the spare cash to work on it. Get experience and you won't be worried if you fuck it hooning.

Lol yeah Ethiopians are huge drunks. I'm originally from NY actually.

Got to take the crate off the bike today at the airport but, big surprise, I was missing a crucial permit.

The airport staff were mesmerized by the bike - "700cc is a beginner bike?!?" Lol

>>16997290
I know shit all about scooters, so couldn't recommend anything in particular.
Didn't know you we're gonna have a passenger.
If it's gonna be mainly for you two to ride, just keep that and cruise around, different kind of fun I spose, not really my cup of tea tho.
How much research did you do fore you pulled the trigger

>>16996290
I own an F4i, street fighter style, mainly because the fairings are junk and I like a more naked bike with a super sport engine... Ha

>>16997299
I researched that Kymco is a good manufacturer. This specific model is highway legal and good on gas, and that sub-2K would be a decent deal if it worked (and I think it's just the battery)

>>16997305
Thanks bro. I'll take the battery in today.

>>16997315
I woulda done scooters as a whole.
Look into what you need to do, what you want, so on so forth, different makes, models. But kind of a moot point since you already bought the thing.
Get a hold a service manual. For future issues you may have. Would also be good if come to find out your battery's good and there's a drain in the system somewhere.

Lack of proper training?

Finally ready to buy a bike, I'm looking to pull the trigger on this CBR250 . The price seems fair though I guess, should I haggle it to 2200?

You tell me

Some basic things to look at, (I thought there was a Pastebin or a sticky image that dealt with this)

>Cold start
>Tires
>Fork seals
>Scratches, dents, etc.
>How much chain adjustment is left
>Signals, lights, horn, etc.
>Even wear on brake discs (no grooves or anything)
>Check the condition of any hoses, cuts and cracking isn't good
>Look for rust
>Is there any play/wobble with either of the wheels
>Play/wobble with the bars, do they turn smoothly
>Does the throttle snap closed when you let go of it?
>Is it safetied
>Title
>Manual
>Service records are a definite plus
>Ask about his/her time with the bike

Those are just a couple of things that come to mind, I'm probably missing something but that's a good place to start with any bike

It's not counter steering. People say oh you turn right by turning left and act all smug fuck those assholes. You know how you lean when you turn on a motorcycle or bike? That's all counter steering is, initiating that lean so you can turn without falling over.

Leaning is not countersteering. With countersteering you consciously turn the bars to lean the bike over faster.

The reason it's called countersteering is that turning the bars causes the bike to lean, and therefore turn, the opposite way than it would in slow-speed maneuvers.

The simplest way to understand it is to try it. get in the middle lane of a highway (no traffic obviously) and turn the bars very slightly, the bike will sharply change lanes.

>>16997974
No idea. How do you turn the ignition on without the key?

>>16997974
No.

Anal proning is the only way

>>16997987
You can insert any flat object into the key hole (doesn't even really need to go in, just so there's enough leverage) and turn, and it just turns on. Luckily for me the bike is its own insurance because no one wants to steal a beat up 250cc bike

>>16997983
>Turn the bars very slightly (at highway speeds)
This is a really good way to give yourself a wicked tank slapper

>>16996108
dont get the C spec, the bolt r is superior in comfyness and look

>>16998007
I did say very slightly.

Also it may be worth checking the key barrel, they sometimes have a code for your key written on it, you can use that to get a new one cut.

>>16997794

hi I accidentally touched the ecu enclosure with the handle of my ratchet a few weeks ago and a spark erupted. the bike turns off randomly now mid ride, pretty much completely randomly. Doesn't matter if I'm revving up or down or what lean angle or movement of wires in the lock cylinder (which I've dealt with before 3 times on this bike). The bike's CEL comes on and off randomly throwing 14 codes and the bike runs like shit while this light is on - but it turns back off randomly and the bike runs fucking great. The motor runs ok with the cel but the injectors run shitty at higher speeds and jerky acceleration - but they do open real big and spray a lot of fuel actually giving me better acceleration from 90 to 140 while the CEL is on

do you guys think I need a new ECU
what can I do to save money? I'm thinking of taking out the ecu and checking if I can fix the short myself I'm pretty handy with a iron and circuit board

It it really? Because I consider it vastly easier than working on cars. On bikes almost everything is easily accessible and they basically work like bicycles with extra engines. On cars everything is buried under other things and nothing is even remotely similar to other machinery. Weird steering and suspension setups, weird drivetrain parts, endless electronics. It's all horrible.

>>16998189
Maybe it uses the same engine/ecu as another bike.

Which bike?

>>16998182
Well yeah, but because my bikes are rare enough in general and especially in my shithole, they are dirty and unmaintained, you can't find original parts or they are expensive as fuck. Lack of a proper workspace and cold weather also doesn't help

>having more than one carb
>still thinking there's replacement for displacement
It's not inherent, they just commonly do it to squeeze all they can out of the tiny engines.

To be honest, and fair, no one told you nor did you get a service manual. My DL-1000 has to have the clutch in to start it.

600, not nerfed (like most on sale here). Got all original parts for it too, only damage is light scratching on the front fender around the mounting bolts.

~93kkm on the odo, got it for 1800€

Loving it, got around 500km on it before our temperatures dipped here and now I can't ride (comfortably at least). Can't wait for sunny weather.

Thinking about ordering a new headlight housing and putting in a HID projector along with xenon bulbs, since the original headlight housing is kind of weak.

>>16997987
could replace the ignition switch

Finally figured out why my carbs leak. The fuckin o-rings on the fuel pipe between them. 20 cents later and a trip to the hardware store later and I'm all sorted out.

So did yamminoob die?

The Four Rules.
>The gun is always loaded
>Never point the gun at anything you are not willing to destroy.
>Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target (and you have made the decision to shoot).
>Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.

>The gun was loaded with HP and FMJ
>I was willing to destroy my self.
>Finger was on the trigger only when I was ready to shoot
>My face and future was the target, only concrete was behind me

How was that not following the four rules?

>>16998427
please tell me he fucking died LMAO

Maybe, but then is this a edgy teenage frog?
Learn to spot a meme, anon.


But you are right though, I can`t kill myself because my father would be sad.

Two reasons; First Hollow points don`t run that well in my FEG Hi-Power. More importantly I only have ten because I am too poor to buy more. I had to load all my own rounds to save money.

So I keep one Speer Gold Dot in the chamber and thirteen 124ge CMJs backed by 5grains of MP 200.

My two spare mags have a Speer first then 12 Handloads.

>>16998537
Do you expect to have to dump the mag to kill yourself?

>>16998553
Maybe, I was wearing a helmet.

She didn't want me to have a scooter, she says they're dangerous (I know they are) and that her uncle died on a motorcycle.


So I drove it for the first few times today, it's great, just really heavy. I have trouble turning. Part of me wishes I had gotten a smaller model (150cc's), and I will be on the lookout for one.
