I've been suffering from depression for years.
I've been looking for a new passion to help me get out of this depression and meet new people.

Do you guys think riding would help? Has anyone been in this situation before?

Not sure what your point is here. The speed wasn't the emphasis of that webm. Just the little headshake from the front wheel popping up over the hill. Also that isn't a highway. It's a little rural road.

That's actually pretty normal to have one mirror left hand threaded.

As time went on less and less of the XJ was AMC.

>>17394066
Is it really a hybrid when by the end the were all Chrysler Parts?

Late XJs are GOAT though, best version of the I6, AX15, 8.25 rear.

I miss my TJ, 4.0, AX15, LSD D30 Rear with 4.55 gears on 31" tires. Thing could do most blue trails at Rousch Creek and still get sideways when I wanted too.

But...if it's a reverse thread that means the wind blowing it (clockwise) would loosen it...

>>17394131
>Just turn your head ya dingus
Unless you turn around completely, that doesn't show what's behind you.

>>17394150
That's why it's only on one of the mirrors.

>>17394150
You have two mirrors friend

>>17394153
But it would also loosen on the left handed mirror with the right hand thread

>>17394153
I'm able to on my Grom, because the mirrors are so shit i am used to it.

Chrysler bought all the tooling for the AMC stuff. Drivetrain components stayed mostly the same, light exterior differences. The biggest difference is the interior and electrics which were both much improved IMO.

Yeah....the right mirror has a LH thread and the left mirror has a RH thread though....

>>17393755
Dude, my produce.

>>17394177
Drive train did get changed though. Chrysler re-did the 4.0 with an actual working EFI system instead of handmedowns from Renault.

And the trans went from some hand-em down Puegot that was undersized to the glorious AX-15.

>>17393755
is there such a thing with a bike? aren't parking tickets and the like just cager tax?

>>17393755
But why

>>17394292
The AW4 carried over and when I said electrics I was including the EFI system

>>17394298
There are those "no parking on sidewalk" signs that are probably aimed at motorcycles.

>>17394298
Traffic is for cars, bikes just lane split through that shit.
Speed limits are for cars, police can't catch bikes.
Parking spaces are for cars, you can just put bikes wherever.
Do you see a theme here?

>>17394191
The Vstrom has 20000km and the tiger has 33000km,
Or 12,000 and 20,000 miles respectively.

Naturally, there are three general chemical components to none. Seratonin and the like.
One is released in abundance when you try new experiences, like a new highway or trail.
One when you do physical activity, like lifting so you can heft your pigfat American shitbike around.
And the third when you meet friendly people, new or old. Like literally anybody who pulls alongside you at a stoplight.

Buy a modular so it's easier to force yourself to be social, and yes. Motorbikes are generally good for depression.

It was really difficult to get my license, I was very anxious. You must never give up, no matter the costs.
Also, if you are solitary, motorcycle doesn't help that much, except if you try to meet new riders. But it's a solitary passion.

She also made me drop the bike when she jumped off of it but I'd dropped it like 50 times prior so I don't even care.

Finally got my Kawasaki running after 10+ months. Caused more issues by trying to fix what turned out to be embarrassingly easy fixes, but now she runs. Only has an oil leak now that needs fixing.

I rode it around the block multiple times while adjusting things. First time riding a 2 wheel motorcycle in almost a year.
Took the Ural out afterwards and it felt as awkward, amazing, and fun as the first time I rode it. Like losing your virginity all over again

depends on what bike you ride. A ducati recently attempted to burn my nuts off.

>>17395315
Rode in that weather recently when I was on vacation.
Went squid tho, could not handle gear.
But at stops I'd work up a little sweat and the when I took off the wind felt really good.

see some old fag on a cruiser today, pull into a car lot, and he has the stop. He slams the front brake and him and his gf lunge forward like idiots. he proceeds to look at his front brake like something is wrong, i kekd then got sad because they were both max squiding.

Some of the most amazing times Ive had in my adult life have been on 2 wheels, with and without people.
Its a amazing hobby that can become a lifestyle. Its a mix between a type of freedom of everything around you, and the fear that youll more or less die at any moment.
I recommend it not for the thrill of the chase but of what can happen in your life and what possible adventures 2 wheels will lead you on.

>drag the rear break and keep the clutch in a bit and rev up their engines
That's true for any bike. 1st gear no gas is 10ish kph, if you wanna go slower you have to brake, but that's gonna stall your engine so you pull in the clutch a bit and give it gas to make the whole thing go smoother.

>monetarily stable enough to ride

This guy...

Lowsided today. On a road I had never been on before, came over the crest of a hill to see a steep downhill decline with a hairpin turn. Braked as much as I could before being forced to initiate the turn, leaned as hard as I could (boot/peg was scraping) and the bike was actually making it around the corner until I hit a pocket of gravel and it shot out from under me. Slid around 100 feet into a ravine but walked away with just a few scrapes because I was fully geared up. Poor baiku only suffered cosmetic damage and a bent shifter on top of gravel getting into every fucking nook and cranny. Took the headlight assembly off and rocks poured out.

Bad day.

Yeah, I was going pretty slow to learn the roads but even at the 35mph or so I was at, it was way too fast for that corner. I guess I fell into the trap they talk about in the MSF course when riding with groups, I didn't mind being way behind but I didn't want to be *that* far behind so I wasn't as cautious as I should have been.

Run

My bikeu also has loud exhaust (250$ for first offence, then $500 then $2000. Some stock victorys have failed.), is missing all 5 reflectors (78$ x 5), and has non dot signal lights (115$).

The mayor here lives in a really rich part of the city which also happens to have the cities only curvy road pass right through. The mayor has a hate boner for motorcycles because of noise from that road, therefor cops also have hate boners. Riding around with no tag you vet they will throw the fucking book at me. Fuuuck that.

Combined with no tag im probably looking at about 1000 + impound/tow costs. They cant catch a 1000, especially if already in the city. Lots of places to tuck into and chill for a few hours.

>>17396425

How do they get you on exhaust? I mean, there's decibel limits per the EPA, but do they bust out a tool for measuring dB right there on the spot?

They also set up checkstops on popular cruising roads where they pull in every motorcycle that goes by, and hammer them on everything they can. The noise law is city bylaw.

Im moving mainly because of it. Between that and photoradar that hides in the sneakiest places like on-ramps (to hit people accelerating to merging speed) or artificially low freeways, im just done with this place.

>>17396466

I'm glad they don't do that shit around here because I'd be super fucked. I have a Grom with a racing exhaust that's waaaaaayyy too loud and I ain't about to be outrunning anyone on that thing.

KBB says between 740 and 1190, so depending on condition, sounds reasonable. You should buy your own helmet new. You could keep the used ones around for a passenger in a pinch but that's about it.

Sport bike riding in Canada and I need pants. Any ideas? Want to spend 250 Can on em!

>>17396935
Sport bike riding means you intend on pusing to the point where you risk lowsiding. Textile gets pretty banged up quick from a crash as opposed to the abrasion resistance of leather.

That said Joe Rocket stuff is pretty cheap and good value

>>17396935
I just use Kevlar reinforced jeans with knee pads and hip protection.

>>17396956
Same, no need to look full boy racer if just riding around in the city.

That said, 250 can get a good set of used leather pants

I hear it's pretty hard to start on a cruiser or tourer, but that's the kind of bike I'm really after. Big and solid with a lot of storage and a sizable enough gas tank for a longer trip.

Should I just start on a 500-600 and strap a trunk to it, or go memes for dreams on a middleweight cruiser like a CTX700?

>>17397074

Blog time.

I did the waterfront today, to cool some relationship troubles. Made it less than a quarter mile before hitting late night traffic. No problem, it's supposed to be a slow cruise anyway.

As we go along, 5 under the whole way, cars start peeling off the train. One at a restaurant, two at each backroad turn-off, and we pull up to the light where it goes 35-50 mph.
Order: Shitty Chevy, CBR1000rr, GSX-R whatever, Kia econobox, me.

Light turns green, Chevrolet knows what's up. Peals out like it's NASCAR, leaves us all behind.
Us ALL behind. This onramp is a long sweeper, right hand.
The lane splits in two...I'm already wondering why we're not dusted, but maybe they want to ride together. Safety in numbers.
I take the right lane, Kia boxes me out. Again, no big. I hadn't even made their blindspot, so I'm safe. Back to the left and roll on.
...I'm gaining on this 600. Minimum 600, could be a litre.
What the fuck? They're staggered and chilling along both bumpers of this car.
There is literally no way to pass until we join 705, the interchange loops. They're fun for me, but surely these cats are going to open up when the speed does...
...
.......
..........WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU BOTH DOING IN THE FAST LANE! I AM A GODDAMNED 250! HOW DID I COME UP ON THIS SUZUKI'S ASS ON THE STRAIGHT?
We come onto the sweeping onramp to real I5... no cars, no trucks.
Both of these bozos are doing a steady 40 in a corner rated 45 in bad weather. And a fucking car. I can't even see them leaning.
---

So, that's why I don't care for the 600-first crowd. This cbr cost a minimum 15 times what my little shit did, plus mods. If you're not going to use the power, why even bother?

Epilogue: I pulled up alongside them at the 5-16 interchange. Showed them jazzhands before they got pissed and finally tore away.
Related; my cb250, minihawk. If you two are reading this, I want an explanation.
(And to apologize for nearly crashing out your bottom bitch. I just assumed we'd be on the same page)

What about the preceding post suggests "race" to y'all? Speed is a tool we use to avoid unsafe positions, yes?
So, why chill in the blindspot of this car, or not dust the cars trying to join our lane, from right?

As 250, I survive by maintaining situational awareness, over the quality of my brakes or the power I don't have. Makes every action hyper-deliberate, if you will. These riders had everything available, and were still asking to get smeared.

They probably go fast sometimes, but not always. Having a fast bike doesn't mean you have to go fast all the time.
Or maybe they never go fast. Who cares. It's their money and if they like their bikes there's nothing wrong with that. You're autistic as fuck.

>>17397242
semi related I was on some B-roads last night on my 125 stuck behind a car going excruciatingly slow through the corners but the speed limit on the straights.
there were trees on both sides so I couldn't take him in the corners with out risking getting yaminoobed and I didn't have the speed to take him on the straights.

if he just picked a speed it would have been fine but instead I just got a totally cucked ride till we got to the A-road which is no fun on a 125 anyway.

>>17397345
>What about the preceding post suggests "race" to y'all?

It's blatantly obvious you haven't ridden a fast bike. Nothing except a fast bike comes close to fast bikes.
Now sit the fuck down.

>>17397373
If that happens I just find a nice spot to pull over and hang out for a few minutes so I'm not stuck behind him.

Doesn't happen to me anymore since I ride a liter peter I can just zoom past them in a couple seconds.

>>17397361
The big bikes are nicer to ride even at slow speeds, long maintenance intervals, last longer, more passing power, etc.

Maybe they just saw their friend go down and wanted to take it easy on the way home, who gives a fuck? Just enjoy yourself and you'll have way more fun instead of worrying about other people.

Well, I went out to blow off steam anyway. The personal rant did the trick.

We do need to have a serious collective discussion about recommending supersports and large displacement bikes to everybody, though. Specific example aside, I think it'd enrich the US market if the cc count got some variety.

Ripping into everything that's not an intersection is one of the few joys smallbaiku get. I feel your pain, kouhai.

I do that on occasion, half the time I get stuck behind someone else out for a relaxing drive.

It gets easier once you stop feeling the pressure to get somewhere you don't need to get to in a hurry.

Meh. The one time. (I'm sure you mean experience, not distance in this case?) 80's Magna, while I was in the market last September. The cb250 was $600 cheaper, and the V4 seemed like it'd be slightly too much for icy roads with my skill at the time.
We'll find out a year or two down the road. I want to ride the wheels off this thing, so long as proper new bikes are still out of reach.

My initial gripe was about changing position relative to surrounding traffic. More or less power just makes it easier to do so, hence the confusion / frustration.

You know full well I was talking about street vehicles, bikes can't hold a candle to anything with downforce and 300 profile slicks.

>>17397455
oh yea all those f1 cars you see on the road.

>>17397461
Eh, the price I pay for being ambiguous.

>>17397447
You made a wise choice.

I'm just saying.
When I went from my CBR250RR to the VTR1000, the first time I gave the throttle a yank I didn't know what was happening till the front came down. Takes a few rides to get used to tunnel vision.

Yeah. And with winter coming that soon?

Next time, I'm buying at the beginning of the thaw. Before the dealership is flooded with fairweather riders, but after it's a life-threatening proposition.

Can cops get you for accelerating too quickly from a stop if your front wheel never leaves the ground? I like to hammer on it to get up to speed quickly but never been sure if its 100% legal.

>>17397508
I live in a country where it might grow frost on grasstips twice a year.

>>17397476
I'm glad I practiced wheelies on my 600 before I got my liter vtwin so I was a little more comfortable. I think I did like 6 wheelies on the test ride and still have trouble keeping the front end down.

>>17397523
Many anti-boyracer laws thanks to F&F.
Excessive display of acceleration or something IIRC. It's at the discretion of the officer as there's no way to prove you didn't.

Anyone got the proficient motorcycling pdf ?

>>17397523
there are no rules against acceleration, perhaps reckless driving if you are blasting through a ped heavy area

>>17397531
How do you even measure that and would it even hold up in court? Some guy in a 15 year old sti got mad at me yesterday because I split up beside him and killed him off the line when he tried to accelerate quickly to get into the other lane.

Asked me if I "wanted to go" at the next light, mad his outdated sports car couldn't keep up.

Must be nice.
The Cascadia region has three seasons. Not raining, raining, and rain with black ice.
It's great, in that I can ride nearly every day when properly dressed. I think it only snowed twice this year. A lot of other riders would disagree, but I tend to question their forethought.

>>17397538
depends where you live
exhibition of speed / acceleration is a law in some places and is usually what is given when they can't prove you were racing someone but still accelerated hard
if it's in a risky situation you could get a dangerous driving tho

What about "hot hatches"?
I'm not a car guy (bending over vs sitting next to, I probably fucked my back while in the Army), but I owned a MK2 GTI for a year. It could definitely turn a corner, if nothing else.

Wear proper clothes, and yes. Comfy and more fun.

>>17397638
I find armored clothes to be more comfy on their own. I like the feeling of durability and security.

The term hot hatch triggers my autism. There's nothing hot about them other than being a hot trend now. Also classifying a car by the way the trunk opens rather than anything else is silly

I keep thinking about actually buying a pair of riding pants, but I'd never wear them enough for it to be worth the money.
So I'll just stick with this for now.
It's all only for eventuality anyway, I've never crashed on the street, so it'll be that one time I squid out I die.

>>17397678
why don't you go for a pair of kevlar jeans, they are p.comfy

They're worth it. I slid during the last big rainstorm of the year, Icon DKR overpants with that hip protection.

If I could afford a decent summer set, I want a touring suit to replace the wax-cotton jacket I've got. Bit of mesh, with waterproof liner.

I'm afraid I may not make enough money before it cools down again, though. I'm so sold on the pants I've got, I may just go mix/match to afford the DKR jacket this winter.

>>17397683
I thought about that too.
But the cheapest is like $80, and again I'd wear them on like the weekend only.
I ride to and from work, so I wouldn't be able to do the jeans.

>>17397678
That's why I got jeans. Pretty comfy and can wear them out without looking autistic. Usually once I put them on I just wear them until I get undressed for bed.

How often do you ride with all the gear.
Cause of work, the only pants I can get are the over ones, and that's a huge pain.
I'd love to do this >>17397691 but I can't.

>>17397697
I don't wear them to work but my commute is only 15 minutes so it's just gloves, jacket, helmet.

>>17397699
That's about the same for me to work, but after I usually end up going somewhere in town for something. I really hate going back, changing, then going out for what I need, it's just inefficient.

Winter, I wore everything everyday.
Now it's warming up, The pants are stifling. And the wax in this jacket is toast. It's about time to upgrade my babby gear.

>>17397702
Yeah I get off in the middle of the night so nothing is even open for me to go to, just not really an issue.

You could get over pants that just go on top of whatever it is you're wearing.

Honestly I'm good without the drop down visor, I wear the sunglasses after I take the helmet off anyway.
And fringe?

They cost as much as regular premium jeans. And a couple brands have pretty cool designs too.
(But, I rock the moonboots everyday because I can't afford soft shoes, so do with that what you will.)

>>17397749
They're usually really thick jean material too.

>>17397727
yea they are addictive, you get one pair for the odd trip to shops and the like and before you know it you're wearing nothing else.

So much new thread it hurts!
