The vast majority of people on 4Chan are autistic, to an autistic person modern sport bikes are objectively superior to everything else because, on paper, they are. Things like comfort, rideablity, fun, and character can't be shown in numbers, only power and performance, which is what sport bikes are made for.

Also sportbikes are bretty cool.

It's not always their fault. Coming back from a bike rally my bike kept dying on me. It'd be fine and then all of a sudden the electrical would completely die.

The problem was that the previous owner must have been some kind of muppet and installed the ECM connector without the weather seal gasket. Rain was getting into it and causing issues.

FZ-07 faggot here. I love my bike but I think in the next few months I'm going to start looking at bikes that are larger since I have a fairly large frame. The FZ is great, but it sucks on long distance rides and it's practically impossible to go camping out of or similar.

I'm thinking of looking at sport touring bikes or even cruisers, but I don't really know where to start. I know cruisers get a lot of shit on /dbt/ so this probably isn't the place to ask, but I frequently lurk here so here I am.

I know Harley gets a lot of shit for their overpriced outdated underperforming heavy tanks they call bikes, but what about other cruiser manufacturers? Is it even possible to find a cruiser that is fun to ride (cornering doesn't matter much) while also being utilitarian?

The vast majority of my riding is just commuting to work and back or running errands, so like 90%+ of my riding is done on the interstate or highways. Twisty handling isn't really top priority for me.

So the drz is having problems again. I took off the carb, cleaned and replaced it but now the bike seems to idle really low while the choke is on. Like 1500 rpm and dies quickly. I did mess around with the fuel air mix screw but can't seem to come to a point where the bike will stay on.

VMAX, Diavel, Rocket III, and Scout are the only cruisers worth buying, also check out more street oriented adventure bikes like V-strom 1000, S1000XR, KTM 1290

I'm conflicted; I feel like I would look like a yuge faggot wearing a pant with sliders when I'm still at the stage where I take right hand turns super slow and in 2nd. I also doubt I'll ever drag knee on these straight-arrow southwestern roads. I guess I could take the sliders off until I git gud, but they probably offer some non-trivial impact protection even without hektik riding..

>>17568394
Would you rather look like a faggot or keep the skin on your legs when you crash and look like a fucking idiot for not having gear?

>>17568364
They define it as semi-sport, so probably.
Honda likes to let the engineers go nuts on tourers and commuters. Seems like they needed an excuse to resurrect the V4 cruiser.

No naked, though. Hopefully they're reserving that for the Magna label.

One can buy pants that will keep skin on your legs just fine but that don't have sliders. Guess I was just looking for some feedback about whether a clear scrub wearing sliders is as indicative of bad self-awareness and planning as, say, an 18 year old with two speeding tickets and bad credit buying a gsxr.

on the other hand, shit's safer and i can only get better at riding over time, and it'd be better to have it and not need it than want to track later and have to cop new pants.

Canada, specifically Run to the Hills rally in Two Hills Alberta.

I threw a tombstone light on for a tail-light because I swapped my tins for a set of denim black ones on my dyna. What I neglected to do was use loctite on the fasteners. Somewhere along the ride up it rattled loose and tore off my bike.

A farmer found it on the road later in the day, flagged down a passing motorcycle group that was heading to the rally, they brought it to the registration gate and it sat there for a few hours until a buddy of mine recognized it.

I was having a beer at our camp site when through the magic of motorcycles my tail-light found me.

fucking kek if true, if i have some time later i'll try to find that and cap it.

though, i was under the impression (from the wiki page admittedly) that they figured out fairly quickly that police reports and after-the-fact accounts were garbo, and the only way to get good information was to send team members directly to the site.

on the other hand, even though the first cap was of the 3600 cases where they got info from police, this cap is of the 900 where they had team members on the scene and the honda count is still massive.

the makes of the bikes involved in accidents studied over a two year period in cali.

unsure what "code" is used for, but "absolute frequency" is simply the number of accidents studied that involved a bike of that make. "relative frequency" is the percent that were that make out of all the accidents. "adjusted frequency", not sure without reading their methodology more closely.

>>17568966
So they used some fucked fenders and painted the bike in the ugliest colour they could find and called it a day.
A $400 discount isn't enough for that.

>>17568973
I think both look good, but I actually prefer the look of the bobber model. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to test ride either one, but I really like the sort of matte black aesthetic and the chopped fenders.

It's small enough for a kid, isn't that heavy and carries the weight pretty great so it's easy to manoeuvrer at low speeds.

Go to an open place, like an empty parking space and put up some cones to practice.
Or sell that bike, because you're clearly not ready for it.

Nearly crashed yesterday but I managed to pull it out of the bag at the last second.
I never noticed the cars in front of me had stopped at a set of lights, slammed the breaks and the back end came out but I still wasn't stopping in time. Luckily there was a gap between the queue and some parked cars so I went into it trying to wrangle with my first tank slapper. I just about had it under control when I got to the front and the lights changed.

Where was your attention? It should be at the traffic in front, doofus.
>back end came out
Don't use the rear brake in panic situations, reduces the risk of losing and regaining traction, then losing control completely. It won't reduce your stopping distance by much if you do use it, and if you brake properly on the front the rear might not even be in contact with the ground.

So two things: Start paying more attention to traffic, don't follow so closely, and learn to brake properly.

it didn't even look the the bike rider hit the car when he went to kick it. regardless the person in the car should not have went ape i couldn't care less about the person driving the car because they're retarded but feel bad for the white truck cause dindu nuffin

I was quite far back, it's what saved me. As far as my attention it was a million miles away, also I was feeling pretty sick which I didn't really notice when I left. I don't say that as an excuse the incident was 100% my fault but it definitely didn't help my focus or reaction time.

Good thing you're okay and I hope you learn from your mistake, anon.

Bought mine for 1400 € at 38k km. It is now at over 56k. I reckon if I get a replacement muffler (original one is rusty) I can sell it for around 1200 maybe.
Bought a CBF 500 for dad recently, that one was 2200 with just over 20k on the clock.

Weak. I was told they use big blocks.

more like zipties

i think this can work, i mean the fender will be holding it in position as well

oh god what if the fender doesn't fit, this whole thing is slightly bigger

Okay it seems that
a) fender will fit over the new R/R
b) zipties + fender will be keeping it safely in position as long as I tighten both zipties at the same time, the same amount

I'll report in once it the sun leaves

>>17569329
€1K purchase couple years back, now worth about $1.5K I think
