Hi guys, I can't read maps so i am getting a GPS for my bike. It's so much more convenient and easier than a map!

I've also swapped my old bike in for a scooter, the automatic transmission is so much more convenient and easier than a manual bike!

And now i've found a new bull to fuck my wife, it's so much easier and more convenient than fucking my wife every Saturday like we have been doing, it saves me almost 3 minutes every week! this is even easier than just being a premature ejaculatory, which i am by choice becasue it's easier and more convenient!

first for honda a best ^ that nigga don't count

Or so you think

How to correctly learn to ride a bike, by youtube

first, get a minimum 600cc bike, preferably a brand new bike owned by somebody else. the more expensive the better

then put on a helmet if you feel like it. you're fine without other gear trust me

find a nice open area with some new cars

once you get the bike into first, head directly for either an expensive car or a tree

congratulations! you just rode a bike!

>>17048587
the overall design is really good, the big wheels give it a lot more stability than the grom, but the engine isn't as good as kyco engines usually are, and is slower than the grom and other mini bikes in the same class

Kymco's scooter are honestly really good.

Scooters have two weaknesses. Hills and small wheels, Kymco manages to solve the wheels by putting full sized wheels on many of their scoots

Their engines are solid and reliable, and they have really good build quality, and they make scooters that are not only capable of high speeds but are actually good to ride at high speeds.

>>17048623
Please see >>17048543

>>17048624
i don't fully grasp it.

so i fold the kick start out, and pump it kind of like an air pump, and then i kick it? so i just kick it harder and further than i did to pump it?

Get something bigger for your first bike

>>17048564
Better to go with 1000cc if you're responsible enough. You don't want a bike you'll get bored with quick.

I'm looking to test ride a VFR1200x this week. The main concern I have is servicing, since I've heard the VFR platform in general is quite expensive and complicated. Can any of you comment on this issue?
I test rode an FJ-09 and really enjoyed that, but I'm curious to see what a shaft-drive bike is like.

Return them. You don't need the distraction.
If you won't buy from a store at least try some on in a store.
I got some Dririder storm boots a while back and they were uncomfortable at first, but then I replaced the soles with some "orthopaedic" soles from Chemist Warehouse. Now they're comfy enough to run in.

The gloves turned out to be shit but the service was great.

free return shipping is actually required by law in germany so you can just order 5 sizes and send back 4 if you want.

What do you suppose the most reliable or the best one of the three? SV650, Fz09, and the new kawasaki are almost the same bike

>>17049087

>>17048816

>>17049079
They're all going to be reliable. The fz has the most character, the sv is the biggest and more planted in corners. The Kawasaki is the one you buy if you find a juicy deal.

>>17049079
>fz09

you mean the 7.

anyways they are probably the same in that department as well. Test ride and buy whichever you like best.

>>17049094
But the word Triumph really shouldn't be used in that crash, it was the complete opposite of a triumph

>>17049106
Your joke and attempt at humor was awful

>>17048518
Fuck redline was awesome

>>17049079
Yamaha apparently rates at the top for reliability currently, but that test was only for the first four years of a bike's life. If it's Japanese, it'll be fine. The general rule at the low end of the market (which you're aiming above anyway) is "it's jap or it's crap."

>>17049106
It was triumphant in the sense that Youtube won't have even more crappy list videos for a while. Seems like it wasn't the first one he's wrecked, though. I need to read his riding history.

>>17048747
I owned an FJ-09 for two years before realizing I wanted something sporty. It was a great bike tho. That triple is God tier and bike is comfy for long trips/all day riding. Can lean pretty good with better tires too

I'm not much of a sporty rider; I value being comfy quite a lot more, especially being close to 2 metres tall. I want a little of the urgency of a sports bike, but more for the comfort of having power available instead of thrashing it every day.
With you on the tyres, though. First thing I'd do is off with the Dumflops and get some Bridgestone T30s or Pirelli Angel GTs.

With me on it my bike is about 350kg. I can't go lower than 3th gear in the mud without just spinning my rear tire.
Didn't have much grip though, on the end of that little road I tried to brake, overshot the corner like 2 metres.

For a tire that isn't known to be that off-road oriented it keeps up pretty well.

Today i was riding a bike for the first time in my life (pic related) and i stared off smooth but when i put in second gear bike started to jerk hard. It doesn't happen at all in first gear. Question is: is it because i can't ride a bike or there is something wrong with it?

>>17049653

Yes. Try easing off the clutch instead of just dropping it

Your insurance will cover unknowingly receiving stolen property, if the cops come for it just play dumb and you can get free OEM parts.

Any of you guys going to the Moto GP here in Austin this upcoming weekend?

>>17049653
Some bikes are clunky from first into second., and from second into first when braking and downshifting. Did it do this with every gear, or only 1st -> 2nd? In case of the latter, it's probably just clunkiness that most bikes have for that gear change. You *could* try it at various speeds, like, slowly into neutral and then into second to see if you're not shifting too fast or using too much force.

Bike can jerk a bit and have a violent shift if you rev it up, clutch in, shift then release the clutch sheet revs have returned to idle.

Only nobikes wouldn't know that :^)

>>17049775
There's an MSF course around here that uses TW200s just so people are less likely to fail slow-speed maneuvers with fuckhueg sportbike turning circles

should i shift down to 1st when im riding slow? I did same thing as in cars, when you are rolling you put in second gear, and use 1st only when you are starting from dead stop

>>17049880

>how fucked am i?

That depends entirely on how much of that front end is held together with tape, pop riveted aluminum foil and go fast stickers.

I mean scooters are dodgy as fuck when they're in good condition when it comes to stability and safety, throw an accident damaged front end, worn as fuck bearings, brakes that have probably never been adjusted...and honestly, you should have just bought a bicycle.

It's mechanically good, but the missing bodywork conceals some of the ignition circuitry and what's left of the front fairing is missing pieces that hold the turn signals on. So, if you go over 45mph the wind can knock the right hand turn signal out and leave it flapping in the wind. It's limited to pizza runs right now. At least it's comfy to sit on while eating.

just a 125, haven't decieded on anything yet, if new it's between a ys125 and a cb125f for thos mpgs. If seccond hand it'll be dualsport of some kind which is what my dad is pushing for. not for any finantial reasons, he just want's to ride it and pretend he's a 17 year old toe rag again and not an old fart.

>>17050948
why a 125?

>>17050956
because you don't need a full licence to drive it

It can't be worse than being clotheslined and then having your bike stolen by a chav with a machete.

Just don't buy old bikes from morons and they will be fine.

Does anyone else play the don't-lean-the-bike game? Going for max hang-on on normal roads/motorways and try to keep the bike itself totally upright.

>>17051158
why?

>>17051165
Bored commute.

>>17051158
I play the stick-your-knee-out-as-far-as-possible-when-there's-literally-no-need-and-its-nowhere-near-the-ground game

>>17051158
I do the opposite, sit bolt upright and see how far I can lean the bike under me.

>>17051187
I go knee-up but butt-off-the-seat (no sliders on the daily gear).

What's the difference between gauntlets and gloves? In function I mean, which one is best?

Outside of medieval armoury, 'gauntlets' are just the subset of gloves with a longer wrist.

I take it you're talking about keeping your hands from becoming stumps. Gauntlets because they go up a bit farther than gloves and give your wrist and lower part of your hand more protection.

I still wear gloves though because on hot days my gauntlets get really sweaty

>>17051228
yeah I know, what I mean is wich design is better and why
