It constantly bothers me how MotoGP has seen nothing but conventional stuff since forever. I really wish one of the brands would start trying shit like ELF did back in the day.

>>17547820
He took his impala and tried to drive around thinking there was an exit, we keep the new bikes outside all the way in the back. He got to the end, drove over one of our old lifts we left outside, backed into a couple street glides and drove back out, knocking over a sportster a lowrider s (RIP) and a road glide.

I heard him dragging the lift that was still lodged under the car when I was locking up the gate.

I'd post pictures but I don't know if it's a good idea.

seams priced just right

I'm in the market for a used bike and I have a couple of questions.

One, how does the VFR800 compare to the VFR750? I had a -96 750F and it was reliable if a bit dull.
Two, is the Kawasaki ZRX1100 any good? I had a GPZ500 once and it was so bad that even after 10 years I'm not sure if Kawasakis are all garbage or not.

Most jap cruisers have a dual crank pin setup which gives you that super steady idle which is why most like the vtx1800, Vulcan 1700, shadow 1100, etc etc don't sound like a Harley at idle or while riding. The road star has the same setup as a Harley with being a single crank pin setup which gives you that heartbeat loping idle and signature Harley sound. Combined with also being a pushrod motor it really sounds like a Harley. It's actually the reason Harley tried to patent their sound back in the early 2000's. They were so assblasted that yamaha one upped them by having a bigger motor producing their signature sound and motor design for a slightly lesser price as their road king.

Nothing against Harley though. I Would love to have a road glide one day.

Why is there so many black people who ride dirt bikes on the street?

I have an evaporative cooling vest that works really well for heat like this. You get a little wet wearing it but it's more than worth it. I usually wear it under my jacket or just squid it up wearing a tee shirt with the vest over it if it's over 110 outside.

no the previous owner made it, It's a cut down yoshimura trs, I wish it wasn't black. I'd strip the paint, but it's powdercoat, so I'm not sure how successful that'd go.

I have an unmolested trs carbonfiber can, but I'd still be stuck with the black mid pipe

>>17548888
I went riding this morning as well. Was hospitalized a few weeks back for heat stroke when it was 115 out there. I'm enjoying this slight cooldown but I really don't do well in the heat at all. Fuck summer.

I know it looks like shit, but it sounds really good, so it doesn't bother me that much ultimately.

maybe I'll fiddle around with it some this week

wonder if I could get a racefit or sc project that would slip onto my midpipe . . .

>>17548901
Do you want to know why you got heat stroke when it was 115.

You were probably squidin or had as much air flow as possible. When it gets that hot you need to cover up and slow down the air hitting you. There is no way to get enough liquid in you to keep up with the sweat you evaporate at those temps.

>>17548933
I was actually working a bike event for work.

I was drinking a ton of water, at least 2 gallons but I never had to use the restroom which should have been a sign to me. I tore down our booth at 6:00 after being out there since 7:00am. After I tore down I hopped on the trike I brought out there to display in my booth and everything cramped up bad, didn't think much of it and just waited for the shit to pass before I took off on the geyser glide. I made it half way to the shop and felt like I was going to pass out so I pulled over and I started shaking super bad. From there I'm pretty much blank. Next thing I know I'm in an ambulance going to the hospital where I stayed for 2 days. Doctors told me that I came super close to kicking the bucket that day, was brought in with my body temp at 104.9.

>>17548679
No, it's actually a very small amount of bike for the money.

Not shown in the stats: the very hard limit on lean angle.

It's a lot of fashion for the average american aesthetic luddite (hurr cafe racers are the only cool non-harley motorcycles), but not a lot of bike.

As usual, japan reigns king. They offer lower prices because they can afford to run smaller profit margins on their bikes, since they're not their only or most important product, and aren't completely and utterly reliant on a market of boomers that prefers the old look of american "we don't actually know what the fuck we're doing" motorcycle design over modern chassis technology.

Any specifics for SAM? Is there a meet up point for people riding down? I can ride over to Lexington to meet up on Thursday

If the tire I want for my rear doesn't come in my rim's size, can I put a slightly different size on it? My rear is a 160/60 radial tubeless but the tires I want only come in 150/70 RTL and 170/60 RTL.

>>17549029
Pick a different tire.

Your 160 is probably on a 5" wide rim. It was designed to have a certain profile ( the curve if you look at it from the back ) that makes the bike, lean in and hold a line in a specific way. If you put a narrower or wider tire on there it will not behave properly. Sometimes you get lucky and it's OK, other times not so much.

If you are looking at a specific tire for performance reasons and you put it on the wrong rim and it ruins the performance of the tire, what have you gained?

>>17548991

>>17549067
It's an old Suzuki 2-cycle. Oddly enough, before I rebuilt the engine last year, it failed catastrophically by the hands of the previous owner for the same reason.

>>17549075
The guy was trying to tell you to ditch the oil injection, because IT SUCKED on old bikes and just go back to mixing it in your gas.

>>17549029
That was common with Bias tires, but really tricky with radials. Which bike / tire?

>>17549082
It's warm being covered up with minimal airflow

But you don't die of heat exhaustion at the end of the day.

>>17549075
>>17549087
Oil injection directly into the bearings (which some bikes do, some don't) is worth it. I'd run 50/1 in the tank until I get the injection sorted

>>17549087
>>17549104

Yeah, I'm pretty much stuck with the oil injection system because without it the premix won't get enough oil into one of the bearings which causes it to fail. It's a common problem caused by people who just ran premix on this particular bike.

But premix is better than no oil at all in the interim.

>>17549382
Shit, I was considering these for my dual sport. Mostly road miles and my K270's are getting worn.

I commute 100 km (65 miles) on highway (interstate), I can't really justify going any further than 80/20 on the off chance that it rains while I'm camping.

So I'm done with touring and am selling my ZR-7 + 3 givi hard monokey bags, now I want something to blast around town with (+ the occasional 100-150 km ride around the outskirts of town).

So what should I run around town? A scooter? ~400cc supermotard? sv 650? Maybe a cafe racer or some shit? Any other recommendations?

>>17549667
the heidenaus will likely last you 12k miles on the cb

When I talk about trails, its literally a packed dirt road, sometimes the culverts get rusted up and they replace them with large chunks of gravel, I only classify them as off road since I've seen them after a weekend of heavy rain and we were only able to get out thanks to having a 4x4 truck and the guy who brought a corolla had to get pulled out by a 4x4.

I just have to limit when and where I camp to the weather.

I would sell, and get something with cheaper insurance.
If you store, make sure do the normal precautions. Run all gas out of system/ stabilizer. Tend battery, or just be ready to get a new one later.
That insurance blows.

>>17548295
Nationwide gave me ~250 a year in TX, 24, first bike, sv650. Sounds like you're getting some extras I didn't, but still worth checking. Progressive offered me somewhere around 420 a year for same coverage, I think?

Quick question to all the /dbt/ goers. How did you get your motorcycle license? Did you have someone in the family that rode, or are you the first? I'm thinking about getting my license and going legal, have rode a couple dirt bikes and motorcycles of friends, but never on my own, and was more of just following than anything. I really want a bike of my own, just gotta get the license first, how did all of you go about it? Is it the same as a driver's license?

>>17550331
I crashed my bike and the examiner still passed me.

>>17550324
If that means you can't ride it then yes.

whats the point of a literal endurocross bike for riding down city streets?
are the pot holes in your area really that big?

plus dirt bikes are uncomfortable as fuck, the seats are not actually designed to be sat on, 90% of the time on a bike like that you are supposed to be standing up.

>>17550333
What the fuck.

I hope you refused and resat.

>>17550333

>>17550331
My stepdad got my brother and I a shitty dirt bike when we were young, we've both been riding ever since. Licensing is so easy in Canada it's a joke, I just did the online practice tests over and over then went and wrote the exam and passed in 10 minutes with like 1 answer wrong.

>>17550336
What other bikes can I take off large drops and ramp drainage ditches with, then? The seat is only a minor annoyance. Potholes here are famous, dude. Tulsa.

He bought an NC750S DCT and enjoyed it for the most part, but he is having trouble with the DCT and is now considering getting a proper motorcycle instead.

He wants something upright that he can reduce to 48hp.
He's been riding for a year and is now strongly considering an Tiger 800.
Other contenders are a CBR650F, BMW F800GT, F800GS and a V-Strom.

Anyone own any of these and could give some advice?

It all got me thinking, is the R/R the only thing in danger? I read those units don't like to die alone. The alternator seems fine and there seems to be no parasitic load, but what else should I check while I wait?

I have no idea how old the blown unit was.
