Had to take off the tank, airbox, dismantle the AIS, etc.

AIS bolts were in a very tight space and at an extremely awkward angle. And they were loctited. Was a battle getting each one out and then getting them back in to get the block off plates on.

Also had to do some retarded erector set things with three 4" extensions to get down into the spark plugs in the tight ass space provided.

Also replaced my busted rear tail plastics from when my drunk room mates dropped my bike.

So I'm thinking of getting a proper motorcycle to replace my car for certain out of town trips.

Any advice for a new rider? I know not to skimp on armor and I'm already a defensive driver. What did you forget when you got started? How do I avoid pissing off the several thousand hell's angels that congregate in my town?

Take the MSF course, only ride as fast as you're willing to fall, don't look like a rival MC member

>>17321614
>only ride as fast as you're willing to fall
I'm not willing to fall at all

>>17321604
Get a 500+ cc bike. sub 500cc bikes are a meme. The only decent ones are supermotos and dual sports. If that's you're thing by all means get a smll displacement one.

But if you want an exclusive on-road bike, one of the tamer 600cc sportbikes or a 650cc twin is contrallable and easy to ride, but has enough performance to keep you interested for a good long time. Making great starter bikes.

>>17321604
>How do I avoid pissing off the several thousand hell's angels

Don't wear any patches on your back
Don't pull up next to other riders at stoplights or pass them in traffic in the same lane
Don't talk to them but be polite if they talk to you


Do not touch their jackets/vests
Do not touch their bikes
Do NOT touch their wives

Buy a hurrrrrley for added protection

>>17321614
>only ride as fast as you're willing to fall
This is horrible advice. No one is "willing to fall at all. Especially at more than 10-15mph.

You're recommending people ride around at walking pace?

>>17321626
>Don't pull up next to other riders at stoplights or pass them in traffic in the same lane
I do this all the time with the Mongols and Vagos in my area. They don't care.

I'll give them a nod and some of them will nod back, others will just look over then blow me of and stare ahead.

I ride a sportbike.

There are a lot of Bandidos where I live
It's normal just to give them space, especially if you're on a cruiser. They have a lot of enemies so they can be jumpy, even if a lot of them are normal dudes it's not worth the risk of coming across one of them coked out and stressed.

Daily reminder that REAL MOTORCYCLING™ is exclusively low speed control.

Anyone that goes faster than 75mph on a motorcycle is not a real motorcyclist and should not own or ride a motorcycle. No one should ride any motorcycles with more than 50hp and everyone should wear a textile oversuit, knee pads, neck condom, leg condoms, elbow pads, elbow condoms, helmet and head condom, full elbow length gloves with integrated glove condom, boots, boot condoms, chest protector, chest condom, etc. or you're not a REAL MOTORCYCLIST™ and in a crash your shitty leather and CE padding will explode compared to my impenetrable textile armor that I wear to political rallies and beat people up in. Anyone who drags knee or leans more than 20 degrees in a turn is just asking for death and will crash and die guaranteed. REAL MOTORCYCLING™ is all about following road rules to a T and flipping out and going into a rage at every single mistake anyone else makes on the road, just so they know how inferior they are to you. To prove you are a REAL MOTORCYCLIST™ you should record these episodes on one of your 7 GoPros mounted all over your motorcycle and body and post them in over-annotated Youtube videos just so everyone can see how good you are at REAL MOTORCYCLING™. Be sure to ride around in densely populated areas with lots of traffic to ensure you are capturing the best footage of people not driving as well as you are riding your motorcycle and the inferior actions they take.

Consider yourselves educated in the proper ways of riding, I hope everyone takes this to heart. Take care and vlog safe.

I'm getting more and more interested in bikes. However, not in the fast or loud ones but rather the old Kawasakis. Everyone in my family says I should forget it as it's too dangerous. But are "slower" bikes still that dangerous?

Also do you know what kind of Kawasaki models they are driving in that video?

No. Bikers must unite against a common enemy once again.

>>17321788
Dangerous things about motorcycles:
- if you get into a crash the consequences will never be the same
- you are more likely to be in a crash because other people are retards and don't see you
- if you are a retard yourself you are more likely to get hurt (tired, drunk, not ATGATT, poorly maintained bike, doing stupid shit, not getting proper lessons, letting your family decide what you do for fun etc.)
- if you live in a retarded country you are basically already dead (USA, South America, Africa, Asia, Russia)

Motorcycling is more dangerous than driving a car

motorcycling is much better than driving a car

Your family is right. Take their concerns seriously, learn to ride and learn to ride well. Read every book you can find, watch every video and documentary you can find. Take the classes you can afford to take and practice the good advice you hear.


/dbt/ recommends for beginners
MSF course
Proficient Motorcycling by David Hough
More Proficient Motorcycling by David Hough
Twist of the Wrist by Kieth Code
Twist of the Wrist II by Kieth Code


You may end up disabled or killed but if you are smart and ride well you may ride until you're too old for it. Many people do.

It's a risk, take the MSF course if you're a burger and decide if riding is worth the risk.

>>17321788
All bikes are dangerous, it doesn't matter if you're riding a scooter or a literbike, both of them are many times more dangerous than a 4 wheeled automobile. What amounts to a minor fender bender in a car can leave you crippled or dead if you're in the same accident while on a bike.

You can do your best to ride safe and wear proper gear to mitigate some of the risk but no matter what you do, riding a motorcycle is still going to be inherently riskier than driving a car.

Wish we had more twisties locally, or at least more technical ones with less high speed sweepers.

Once you actually ride a motorcycle nobike, you'll realize the weight of a motorcycle has a large impact on it's side to side transitions, low speed cornering, mid corner confidence, etc.

The Hayabusa is 100-150lbs overweight for it's sporting ambitions and you fell it in every corner.

Also, I guarantee my ham hocks are larger/stronger than yours. I bet you dont even lift.

>>17323022
>My roommates 4cyl was garbage.
Qualify this statement. Garbage at what?

They are not race cars retard. They get decent gas mileage, have enough power to haul a load at freeway speeds, and last 300,000 miles plus with bare minimum maintenance.

There's a reason they were and still are used as main fleet vehicles for companies that need light duty trucks to reliably get the job done.

Ironic considering the AMC I6 is one of the few motors taht could be considered more bulletproof than the Lima I4.

>coil packs at 215k miles

>>17323053
>k fag
Except that's wrong. There is not much left of a Hayabusa's orginal engine on those 700-1000hp bikes.

And yes. it is overweight for the "sportbike" it is meant to be. I don't care how "overbuilt" you rationalize it to be.

He couldn't pull himself out of a flat driveway with 1" of packed snow on it with studded snow tires on the rear because lol open diff 2wd.
Everything in the truck was broken from the window cranks to the shift lever itself
He only got about 3-4mpg more than my 4.0.
You have to downshift to tow a motorcycle up a slight incline.
The engine was running on one cylinder and blew a head gasket when he tried to tow said motorcycle across the country, at 190k miles.

They're used as fleet vehicles because they're semi-disposable, and are disposed of at 150k miles.

Fuck, that truck was fucked.
Mine had no issues with any of that, cept change snow to mud.

A 2wd truck with an open diff in the read with lol no weight over those tires is even more retarded. A Civic is better in the snow.

He got the truck at 160k for $900 and put like 30k on it before it blew the motor and he swapped a shitty Mustang engine into it.
He got it that cheap because they're literally (((literally))) disposable shit trucks.

The 4.0 isn't that much better even, I had two an the first one was auto and kinda shit, but having some torque and 4wd made the issues matter less. The second one was stick and perfect for the 1.5 years I owned it. Still practically disposable for $2500 for a 140k mile 12 year old pickup.

They are cheap because there are millions of them. They are disposible because they are cheap.

None of this changes the fact taht they are unkillable workhorses that have been used for literally decades as the workhorse of fleets across the country and can last several hundreds of thousands of miles issue free on the Lima motors.

Noice. First bike I ride was an sl70 but I was 17. I like Hondas though so I'm biased towards the crf

>>17323255
Kidkat, you started riding 5 minutes ago and you ride a shit tier standard wanna be sportbike. You think a 600cc sub 100whp bike is some sort of uncontrollable rocket.

You are in absolutely no position to say anything about anyone handling any bike.

I've handled an 800lb couch. A bike with actual ergos and controls is going to be a lot easier.

Besides, the busa weighs less than 600lbs ;)

Truth. Winter is when I drift to move.

There is no advantage for a farmer to buy a 2wd. Posi or no

Video starts off with a Honda CB750 of some sorts (early model, red one in the back @0:04)
at same timestamp kawasaki's to the left and right are probably either Z1/900 or Z2/750
The one he's driving is definately the Z1/900
@2:13 judging from the tail and kickstartershape id say its looking like a kawasaki h2
@3:04 he rides off with a Z1000MKII/ST
can't really tell cause video is lowres as fuck

the Kawa in your pic is definately a kh400.

when driving a bike always stick with a cool head, don't stress or clench the brakes like an idiot panicking

the big difference between riding an older kawasaki and a newer one is that the older one brakes worse and wobbels in corners. Old Kawasakis had tubeframes which gave way in cornering. New bikes in general dont have this problem cause of stiffer frames

braking with newer models is more direct and they have ABS - this is probably why driving an older kawasaki takes a different mindset. These bikes are fast but brake are like sponges. You need to look far ahead - even moreso than when driving a new bike - to anticipate the 'dangers' comin at you

>want new helmet to replace shit tier hjc

is it worth $600?

>>17321535
I've found a GPX 250 (EX250F) 2001 with 35,000km on it for $1700 AUD, it's in fairly good condition and comes with a couple months of registration, does this sound like a decent deal? I know that 250cc isn't big but I just want a small bike to ride around town on.

>>17323032
>why yes, of course an old semi tractor with uncomfortable suspension that barely reaches 50 mph and makes an earsplitting noise in the process is a perfectly suited vehicle for private use

Went to the shop and tried on a large variety of the really high end helmets; schuberth, arai, shoei, shark, hjc, agv, you name it if it had a big price tag I tried it on.

And guess what? Every single one of them had absolutely horrendous pressure points just above my temples, made it absolutely unbearable to wear. So I have to keep wearing my budget Held helmet that is basically the only helmet brand I am aware of that fits my head.

No idea what is wrong with the shape of my head. And no its not a case of manning up, the pressure points were so bad it was causing nausea.

>>17321626
nobody is bothered by patches or vests, its when you do dumb shit like wearing a 1% patch when you arent a 1%er or something sons of anarchy related that will piss people off.

>But are "slower" bikes still that dangerous?

I would say small capacity slower bikes are most dangerous, because you can't get out of a bad situation if you see one coming up. Whereas on a fast bike you have options.

But yeah bikes are dangerous, we are 36 times more likely to die than in a car.

Ignore them and get a bike.

I think the first step would be to strip it down and get the frame painted.

Next step will be to find an electric diagram and get to work with the soldering iron and make a new loom.

>>17323841
yeah no idea how it would work either.

Guess the biggest problem would be ensuring the money exchange.

>>17323849

When I lived in the US, I always used PayPal for that sort of thing. That way, you have a recourse if the deal goes sour.

I don't even have a paypal account here though.

Also, isn't it tricky to register a vehicle from another country?

Well, here's the ad. My father has an account with a logistics company, they might be able to handle shipping. I really don't know the details though. Feel free to get in touch if you think you might actually want to go through with this.

One thing that's worth noting, the bike has been modified. Total delete of the electric start system and it runs without a battery.

I'd care if they lived in my area, those cunts are bike thieves. They show up at race tracks occasionally and then you hear that some guy with a ducati or something exotic got it pinched from his shed a week later. Theory is they go shopping at events like those and then follow you home.

to work at 5 in the morning when it's shit cold in winter

with training you can still operate your bike with ice cold hands, I learned that after a while

yeah my gloves are nice but when it gets really fucking cold I also wear those

>>17324017
That's probably better than heated grips even.
With heated grips my fingertips still freeze, as they don't touch the grip, and my left hand is always freezing in a city.

If I'm commuting in winter again I need better gloves. Currently have gloves that are usable between 5 and 15°C, which sucks in winter.
