I know someone who broke pretty much everything in his body in a big wreck. He got back on the bike pretty much as soon as he could, despite not having any feeling in one of his legs.

>>17553633
Kill everyone who disagrees

what do you guys use for helmet holder on your bike?

throw it over a handlebar or bought aftermarket hooks or whatever.

There's a thing under the passenger seat

>>17553679
Heard all of those today, minus the last one.
The one that kills me is not getting back on after an accident.
So the fuck what, man up, learn what you did wrong, get back on.
Doctor told me today I have fluid sacks underneath my kneecap from when I dropped the bike. Still going to ride when the parts come in.

New VFRs are fucking sexy but I can't justify spending the money on one when it's no more a tourer than a sportbike with panniers and risers tacked on and a worse sportbike than, you know, a sportbike.

Also they're a PITA to work on compared to other faired bikes, DIY difficulties or shop fees, whichever you choose

Johnny you piece of shit i KNOW youre here

Opinions on a -99 Kawasaki ZRX1100?

>>17553788
it depends on how you have the accident

if you're trying to be rossi you get back up and say "oh that's what happens when you do that and this...ow, better not do that again. thinking back that really destabillized the chassis, the bike didn't feel right"

if the bike seems to magically fall out from under you and you didn't get any feedback while it was happening you think "i don't have any talent for riding, bikes are strangle animals and i will only kill myself by sticking with this. i don't know what happened i just broke a bunch of bones!"

I've never had to readjust my mirror after using it to hang my helmet, and the stalk and mount are strong so it works fine for me.

maybe your bikes mirrors just suck

>>17553810

>>17553803
Kinda what happened to me.
Fell in a very slow turn.
I know what happened just didn't see it at the time.
Maybe it was growing up on bikes, particularly dirt where crashing is pretty common. Never broke any bones on a bike. I make sure to wear good gear if I know I'm gonna go hard.

Cool story.

>>17553756
Cruisercuck reporting in; I use the passenger backrest upright like a mannequin head. If I'm parking I'll just set it on there, and if I'm riding with a spare helmet to go pick up a friend I'll secure it on the upright as though it was a head. If I'm riding two up and we stop somewhere one helmet goes on the backrest like usual and the other goes on the end of a handlebar.

Not that guy, but I don't even use my mirror, the wind usually moves it anyway.
There are plenty of reasons you could use your mirror, and it could work if it's tight enough.

>>17553840
My mirrors are pretty stiff, could definitely support a helmet if it was SET on rather than plonked/dropped in place.

>>17553844
See, I just don't trust people not to steal my shit. I've gotten in the habit of bringing my helmet with my everywhere, or taking a bike lock and locking the bitch to my passenger pegs when I know I'll be somewhere the helmet would be annoying to have with me. Spend hundreds of dollars on a nice helmet just to have some piece of shit just walk off with it.

Put it back on to lock the helmet in place

You're probably right.
But I do take in the fact I can't use my mirror when I ride.
I'd like to use it, but I can't, thing that tightens it is fucked, and I've been to lazy to fix it.

Also, pretty easy to comprehend, he has it tight enough so it doesn't move. Bam.

>>17553879
>No, retard, it doesn't.
>Don't you think I put my helmet on the mirror in the past?
Look man, not every bike is your bike, not everyone is going to have the same problems.
For you, putting the helmet on the mirror moves the lens, on my bike it doesn't.
What is so hard to comprehend?

>>17553886
god dammit thats smart.

>>17553886
About how many beers can you fit in there?

>>17553885
I know this feel.
I used to live in a place where I was comfortable leaving my stuff on the bike.
Now I live where there are fuck tons of homeless, so I take everything with me.
Guy at walmart gave me shit about the backpack and helmet, asked if he wanted me to leave it with him and he could be responsible for a few hundred dollars worth of stuff. Proceeded to let in with all my stuff.

I unfortunately can't do this with my bike. No matter how I try I can't get cowl to sit back on and still lock in place.

>>17553925
Wish they did.
Biggest storage space I had on a sportbike was on an 02 954 I had. Could fit 3qts of oil in it.

>>17553915
It's designed for that.

>>17553925
>>17553925
I can fit a hoodie, a long sleeve shirt, and a rain poncho in the back of my gsxr if I stick stuff into the side of the rear cowl behind the tail lights.

>>17553939
That extra plastic for the tail box adds like, a gram bro. Think of the weight reduction!

>>17553933
You're were just saying you didn't believe him specifically.
And I know for a fact they can be tight enough you need tools to move them. I've had one of those.
And you're just saying what he said>>17553901, not all mirrors are the same.

>>17553949
What year?

>>17553950
Fuck that, I like storage space.
If I wanted weight reduction, I'd integrate the taillights.
>I actually did integrate them

Yea, there's certain areas or events where it probably wouldn't be a problem, but on a day to day basis? Fuck no.

>>17553950
>the boxy tail makes the bike look too uncool bro t. crotch rocket marketing

>>17553885
I don't trust people either but I live in a decent area and don't frequent ghetto shitholes in addition to my car, bike, and gear all being conveniently lower-middle-class in value; expensive enough that there could be a risk in taking it but cheap enough that it's pretty much not worth even paying attention to let alone taking.

>>17553921
>I take everything with me

There's also this. If I'm going to be inside for a few hours (like at a friend's house) I'll take my helmet with me and not leave anything in the saddlebags. If I'm carrying stuff in a backpack and need to pop into a store or whatever I just wear the bag in and don't act suspicious with it, haven't gotten a word nor questioning look yet.

>>17553783
That's not how mirror adjustments on newer bikes work. The mirror moves on a pivot and the actual mirror stick only folds in or out so you can go from split tuck mode to your normal position in 3 seconds

>>17553791
>Combined braking system.

Please be wrong.

>>17553974
Only from that one guy at walmart has anyone said anything.
I take it all with me unless I'm at work.
Secure parking, and I'm not allowed to bring my helmet inside anyway.
Fuck this city, don't trust no one.

>>17553954
>they can be tight enough you need tools to move them
They shouldn't. Riding on the highway and in the city require to change their position,

>>17553988
I wasn't saying that's how it should be, just saying it happens.
If that is to be the case, see no reason you can't use the mirrors then.

>>17553984

k6 for that comfy low end grunt, and easy ergos

So I was dead set on getting a Kawi 636 for a long time. Then I got to thinking; the only reason I want the 636 instead of a 599cc zx6r is because I want that extra power. So if I want extra power, why not get a GSXR 750?

Any opinions on the 750? Everyone I've talked to that had one loved it. I'm pretty stoked about the 418lbs wet weight, as well.

they're good, I would recommend them to anyone considering a 600 for street riding since they weigh about what a 600 does, but with much more low end power.

Why is Honda so keen to spoil every single modern V4 bike they make? RCV notwithstanding but good luck affording that.

>>17554041
I'm going to have to concur with this gentlemans rating.
Other than r6 is about the same as zx6r in like my opinion mon.

>>17553643
>get caught putting idolmasters and narutos on someone's bike
>biker image gets more violent

>>17554054
They put it on fireblade too, albeit a sportier version

All in all it's actually okay for track riding/dry pavement

Also I don't think honda jives philosophically with putting anything remotely similar to their motoGP bike on the public market, so no V4 honda sportbikes for us.

>>17554056
I only like the r6 slightly more because the side fairings look more "full" and don't have the weird edgy shit that the zx-6r has.

>>17554030
Yeah, the new ones are so ugly, 2005 was my favorite recent 750

There's actually speculation, based on Hondas recent patents that they are planning a v4 sportbike for 2019, which is Hondas 70th anniversary

>>17554117
If you can manage to not get involved and say "don't care", it's all good

If they want you to care then you can leave

>>17554123
So, it was more politics as in all the bylaws, which created drama.
Every time there was a meeting someone was complaining about this one or that one.
And it was almost like they set the club up as club before everything else.
Fuck that, I'll just ride with a group of friends now and again.
Also, fuckers would crash their bikes down in Mex and I'd have to go pick up them and the bike. And they were always obnoxiously drunk, made it more difficult to get back.

It's a fashion accessory, and a damn good one. Better price:performance:looks than an HD.

Functionally it's a commuter, like slow BMW boxer twins that are magically cooler in the eyes of contrarian bikers. You can't lean a whole lot or go fast, but it won't break down, isn't that hard to fix, and has some pretty broad aftermarket options for carrying more than just your person compared to something like a sportbike that has one (ONE) $200 rack from givi that only works with their overpriced plastic boxes and maybe some soft bags. They even make leather passenger seats with backrests for them. Won't find that for your GSXR, or even your VFR.

If you want to buy a motorcycle to just get around it's a pretty good choice. Also, if the lean limit bothers you, you can do what people did when pretty much all bikes had low pipes and chop them and move them up higher.

>>17554399
That's a ZX-10R, a sportbike that weighs as much and handles like a 600.

The ninja a sport-tourer/sport-standard. It's a detuned, more dated engine and cheaper, heavier chassis with high rise clipons and repositioned rearsets for comfort.

If being comfy is a priority, get the ZX-10 and drill the top triple to bolt some proper handlebar brackets on for comfort. Then when track day comes, flip the bars upside down for muh racing crouch. Sport tourers a shit.

Let me rephrase that.
I put my bike down on it's side and spun the rear wheel by hand and it only rotated a couple times before stopping.

When I'm pushing the bike and it has it's weight it feels fine.

Since you are in the Daily Bike Thread and not in the Smelly Barkmachine thread, it seems that you already made the right decission

>>17554503
There's the combined resistance from the chain, axle, countershaft, transmission, clutch, and a very small amount of brake drag that's part of the design of disk brakes, so no, it's not supposed to go around and around forever. Two revolutions is actually really good. Congrats on your efficient drivetrain.

If you give it a shove and it doesn't spin at all, then you have problems.

>>17554503
>it only rotated a couple times before stopping.
that's pretty normal, it's not a bicycle, so the chain will spin with the wheel, the chain also spins the output shaft of the transmission (even in neutral) so between those things there is probably enough drag to slow the wheel after a couple revolutions.

You can't just legally title and plate a frame here. If the VIN is originally an offroad motorcycle, it stays an offroad motorcycle for life.

Some guys used to be able to get around it by saying their bike was home-built, but they really clamped down on that the last 5-10 years.

Crm's are way different from cr's, still fun bikes but are nothing alike. Also good luck importing one, roll on roll off services dont exsist for bikes like they do for cars, and Im sure your not buying enough bikes to make a container worthwhile. So unless you can find someone to break the bike down and throw it on a pallet for you your outta luck. And ofcourse there different bikes so if your thinking of just buy a frame and swapping in cr parts try again - nothing will fit.

It's not about needs. If people started taking away thing you didn't need how would you feel? You know you really don't need meat, and meat has an actual huge impact on the planet. So banning meat is logical.

>I'm all for ... handguns
Well crime statistics, even before 1986, show that your pro handgun anti automatic rifle stance is nonsense.
over 95% of gun related crime is committed with handguns.


>but guns made for killing people don't really belong in the arms of everybody who wants one.
If any guns are made for killing people, what makes one gun less "for killing" than another? Seems like it's all about intent, and you can't predict, or legislate intent.
Statistics show that current gun laws on nonsense, they either ban something that isn't a problem, or ban something that can be made or changed in minutes at home.

Gun control is a lot like DRM. All it does is hurt the people willing to follow the rules.
This isn't a small island country like Japan, the UK, or Australia
>all of which have huge border security issues, drugs, guns, human trafficking etc etc
This is the United States. With thousands of miles of unprotected borders, much of which is against countries with extreme corruption, crime, poverty, war, and more.
Gun aren't magic. People make ak47s by hand every single day in the middle east. You cannot keep guns out of the hands of someone who wants one. All that the 1986 ban on new production of civilian automatics did was create an artificial collectors market causing prices to skyrocket so joe blow can't have one legally.

Don't put the idea in the heads of the public and it won't happen nearly as often.

A thug with a stolen $200 handgun is more likely to come up to you at a red light in a major US city to steal your car than you are to be caught in a "mass" shooting in the US.

>$200
It was "massive" in the 1930's when it was set at $200. But it hasn't changed a dime in nearly 90 years.

>undergo rigorous FBI testing
You simply have a serious background check run on you, and have to wait 6 months to get a class 3.

>and even then you can only buy guns made before 1994
1986

>at exorbitant prices due to them being hoarded by boomers. Full auto weapons are effectively illegal for the average person in the US.
Yes.

At least the one part you got right is the important part.

747's are no more out of our control than guns are.
747's aren't magic.

Makes no sense.
the only difference is you like meat and don't want it taken away.

747s crashing into houses is a very uncommon occurence, and them hitting a residential building is virtually impossible due to the low height of those and the angle of approach that would be necessary. Mass shootings happen regularly and can happen at ANY school, be it Hicktown, TN or downtown NYC.
>Don't put the idea in the heads of the public and it won't happen nearly as often.
Yup, because when someone is frustrated, mentally unstable and has access to guns, they literally won't get the idea to shoot those who they feel have wronged them. It's all the media's fault! What absolute dogshite. Plus, media coverage != restrictions on gun ownership. You can have either without the other.
>A thug with a stolen $200 handgun is more likely to come up to you [...]
With stricter gun ownership laws it will be more difficult to steal guns. And even if it didn't, then the reduction in mass shootings alone would be reason enough to implement them.
>hurr, you're more likely to get robbed than you are to get murdered, what's the point in outlawing murder?
This is how stupid you sound.

>>17555960
Banning airplanes would be a massive lifestyle change and do more harm than good. More people would die in the long run trying to cross oceans on boats.

Nobody would be massively inconvenienced by banning full auto machine guns and restricting others and it sure wouldn't lead to more deaths.

>>17555969
I choose to eat meat and let it kill me.
Are you implying that shooting victims CHOSE to get shot and killed? Sounds pretty silly.

>Guns [...] have a net benifit [sic!] on crime statistics
Except for the part where they get employed by criminals all the fucking time.
>[...] and save lives
Except for the part where they escalate potentially violent situations all the fucking time and people get shot and -- wait for it... die from shooting (which is to say, they lose their lives). What a shocking twist! Never saw it coming.

Only one I snapped while walking by.

I was thinking a Tenere but the front end looked different to me.

That sounds like it is as hard to get a gun in America as it is in Australia.

>>17555969
>Guns in the US have a net benifit on crime statistics and save lives
As somebody who did 4 years of criminology this really pains me to read.

>>17556009
Look up the statistics.
Guns save lives in the US.
There's a reason the vast majority of LE in the country are highly against gun control.

>>17556030
In Australia you need a reason, and "Fun" and "Self Defense" aren't reasons.
You essentially have to own a farm and need to shoot pests.

Is 12k miles + $1100 too much for an 03 Rebel?

>>17556042

12k miles isn't a lot.

>>17555843
When people in Australia talk about liberal people they are not talking about the liberals.

The liberal party are right wing conservatives with a misleading name.

>>17556018
*likelyhood
*handguns
You misunderstand. Ownership of ALL guns should be restricted or at least controlled.

>OPEN BORDERS
I am actually heavily opposed to uncontrolled mass immigration and think, much like gun ownership, it should be regulated.
>Average American
Complete fucking idiot who doesn't think beyond "LOL BRUH I'MMA SHOOT MUH GUNS, MURRICA FUCK YEAH" and get their guns stolen by niggers (that then commit crimes using those stolen guns)? Yeah thanks, I'd like to keep guns out of the hands of those.

Nice job assuming my opinions on matters completely unrelated to gun ownership control though.

>>17556034
Right, that's why the number of gun-related deaths in Europe is so high.
No wait, that isn't right...

>daily gun crime thread
So motorcycles right guys?

>>17556034
So you're saying currently x people die because of gun related injuries, but x+1 lives are saved because of it.
But what if people wouldn't even need a gun to save lives because not every nut job has a gun. People's lives saved may drop, but the overall lives lost will drop down too. Maybe even more.

People don't need something that is a RIGHT. A RIGHT is not a NEED. Learn the fucking difference

>>17556107
the bill of rights was supposed to change to suit the times. nobody needs that firepower.

>>17556124
The point is to avoid a tyrannical government; you should be allowed to possess the same firepower as the people above you

>>17556124
>nobody needs that firepower

This is bullshit, look up a puck gun, the founding fathers knew where guns were headed and foresaw the need for them in the future.
