Here's the Judge.
I've had it for a couple weeks and haven't taken pics yet.
I broke the glass that covers the lens on my phone camera so the quality isn't that great.

No German police is ever going to bother to pursue seperate court orders in the US and in Germany to get a random guy arrested for saying Sieg heil on the internet.

>Die deutschen wieder in der Übermacht
Ok friends, it's warm as fuck (16°c) and I'm really considering going for a nightride. just woke up an hour ago from the nightmare that was friday night so I'm fully awake and will be until at least 10am or so.

Just try to triple clutch, it's so tricky you'll usually just end up double clutching.

honda vf750f needs some fixing any ideas on what to do with the looks of it? probably going to go for a v-rod look eventually, when the radiator leaks fixed that is.
What kit does /o/ recommend for a newbie on a 125?
>>13818621
The bonnie has shit suspension but that's nothing you can't fix with a few aftermarket components and thicker fork oil
The cruisers are shit because they're cruisers, except the rocket which is really only good as a refuge in audacity.
The other bikes are good but the tiger isn't an adv bike by any means, doesn't make it shit as a tourer though

Hey /dbt/,
Sorry if I sound like an ass, but does anyone have any actual first hand experience with hyosung motorcycles (as opposed to "I read online...", "my brothers dry cleaner said...", etc)?
A local dealership has a comet 650 with 2mi on it for ~$2000 (not current model but unsure the year).

2 guys in our riding group ride a hyosung and a kymco, 125cc thoughs.
Hyosung one is wrenching every two seeks to fix something or change out the wear parts. He said take the maintenance for a normal motorcycle and divide it by 3, then you have hyosung interval.
Kymco one has electrical problems, even after "fixing" (disconnect and reconnect battery) it goes to shit few days later again, it only has ~5000km so this shouldn't happen anyway.
I don't know how much you can trust this though, they're both 16 and I dunno if they're actually that experienced mechanically.
>>13818781
not mine brother, here's the one at our BMW dealership though
>>13818795
good idea but I want to go when the city still is alive. We have a tuner scene I just want to check out the cars if they're there today.

>>13818802
>>13818823
Maybe even bike in water. Some time tomorrow. If Im not working silly hours
>>13818656
alright, whats next?
Need me some torque wrenches. Is it best to get one for the big stuff and one for the small stuff or can I get away with using the same for both? Any recommendations for a particular brand/model?
>inb4 make one using a twig and a cumsock

>>13818945
A big portion of that is dirt roads and trails that Google can't deal with. It did take me about that long because I took breaks and also a long break for food and warmth in Cloudcroft (I was undergeared since I didn't expect to be out that long).
>>13818849
they make torque wrenches for different torque ratings, just get the one that covers your needs the best. keep in mind that they get a little inaccurate at both the low and high end of their rating
>>13818765
took this about an hour ago
>>13818897
I've had this conversation many times with my friend, who'd only ridden dirt bikes.
He's looking to buy a bike now, and because of my continuing faggotry he will be buying a sports bike (or at least a naked bike).
Morale of the story is to keep being a faggot, and they will change their minds.

Consider buying a bike, but I dont in what style to get. I want something that can easily handle the tightly curved and poorly maintained Texas hill country back roads, but wont slowly sterilize me during long highway drives. Each style and company has something to offer that I like the look of (other than touring or off-roaders), but I just dont know what would better suit my needs. Anyone have some personal experience/oppinions to share on this?

So it looks like I didn't plan ahead or what do you mean? I'm going to a small meetup, I can just use that as an excuse.
If I find one and then I don't have a spare helmet the ride is not gonna happen. Police is extra careful on saturdays.
Anyway taking off in a few minutes, I'll see if I can post updates.
>>13819155
In my experience if you prepare for some things, it won't happen.
Bring an umbrella and it won't rain, bring sunglasses and you won't see the sun, bring a spare helmet and you won't find a pillion.

>>13819428
That's an old picture. I'd go out and take another but you can't see the tire because my license plate is meant to be less-than-visible for reasons and there's no lighting outside. Got my headlights though, so that'll be nice.
>>13819448
>needing a gear indicator
disgusting
>>13819272
Yeah m8, I honestly forgot about the two Vs. V650s are comfy bikes but the Verysys has a 17 front so I'd go with that so I can get my fast boy tires.
Well it seems that after a very low speed collision with a Cadillac, the cigbaiku is totaled. I'd like to post a few pics of the dear departed to remember her by.

>>13819389
First thing I do when I get new tires is get rid of my chicken strips. I feel embarrassed out here to have them. I live in the land of the touge though so I don't have a problem getting rid of them within an hour.

Sorry to hear, dude. What was the Caddy driver's excuse?

Good faggot. I was second in line to buy that bike last year if it was the one for sale in SF. It wouldn't be totaled if I owned it.
>>13819560

He swung a quick u turn in the middle of a street for a parking space, I couldn't slow in time and hit. Front end is in bad shape, tire popped. No damage on his car.
>>13819569
It is that one and that may be. Shit how the world works out huh?
>Harley Trikes
Why.
For what purpose.
>>13819578
I'd have to go to the track to get rid of that last little bit or have completely fucked up body position. I drag knee for hours and that's how the tire wears with proper PSI, BP, and suspension setup. I doubt any of you flyover fags would know anything about tire wear for the street or the track but Dave Moss is my suspension guy and has told me off that picture that I have a good street setup.
>>13819560

>How long you been riding
I've owned my own bike since mid-august (this one for about 2 weeks), but I've ridden motorcycles since I was 15 or so, and fucked around with 50cc dirtbikes when I was 4-8
I have put down about 6000 miles on my own bikes though.
>how nice are the streets
Depends on where you go. There's some that are gray asphalt with barely any cracks, no tar snakes, etc and nice long flowing turns into tight twisty ones (although there are a few that are currently riddled with gravel, hence why I don't push my bike super hard)
Other roads are absolute shit though, full of potholes, cracks, bumps, etc. Generally I can still get a good amount of lean on them and generally fry off chicken strips if the tires are warm, it's just a lot more iffy thanks to my back wheel bouncing around a considerable amount.
>>13819658

Damn man that sucks. Planning to replace it?
>>13819651
Thanks anon
>>13819612
You must've bought it on a Thursday or Friday. I was set to meet up in Pacifica to buy it on Saturday but you got to it first. It's ok though, I later got a 95 VFR with an Ohlins for $1,400. Once you get another bike we could maybe do another bay area bike meet. The guy that did it with me last time is an AFM racer and can't tolerate the shitposting here anymore.
>>13819636
I'm not a tire guru and I'm an A- track rider on my best day so I'm probably not the the best person to ask. I just know about setting up a bike properly for either track or mountain speeds. From the racers and "tire gurus" I know, I could tell you that multi-compound isn't a factor in their choice of tire. For street everyone's go to is the Q3, Pilot Power, or S20 but if you want a street and track tire then the BT003RS is the way to go.
>>13819445
Enjoy crappy gopro screenshot. Tuners are there but nothing interesting. Currently sitting in front of the shittiest club of zhe city but hardly any people there. Taking off again now
>>13819681

that being said i have never come within about 100 feet of an actual supermoto, and have only seen one on the street 2-3 times so i tried to be rather general

My condolences though. Hope you're alright
>>13819677
Yeah looking through craigslist now, it's going to be paid for, I just have no idea how to replace such a unique bike. I really did love it.
>>13819698
I had a sumo ride behind me once and the guy was having fun. Wheelied behind me for the length of the street. Then we nodded and parted ways.
>>13819682
I would be very down for a bay area meet. my tolerance for shitposting is high so I lurk /dbt/ a lot.
I rode the marlboro hard, a 3000 mile roadtrip, several group rides with BARF people, endless cruises around the San Pablo bay, it had a good life and I've got lots of pictures, I'm heartbroken but not wrecked.
>>13819710
Buy my FJ m8
>>13819736
Even though I'm not a sport bike guy, I know the pain of wrecking a bike you've spent thousands of miles on. It's like losing a family dog. You'll recover though.
Hey dbt, I just bought my first bike. 1979 honda xl250s. It's in great condition and the motor runs strong and everything is in order except that it won't idle at all. If I shut the throttle off, it dies. Sounds like a carb problem, right? Maybe something to do with the pilot jet?
>>13819673
Damn dude, full jelly of your surroundings, all I have near me is bunch of straight streets that don't curve anywhere, and if they do you can't go more then 20mph into it before something stupid happens on the road..
>>13819651
>>13819324
I'll share my opinion too.
I own a DRZ400. It makes a decent street tard. It is pretty slow but below 40mph it still has enough accelerating power for most situations. It generally doesn't require tons of maintenance. Carb sucks. Weight sucks mainly if you go off-road.
I have ridden a KTM 450exc. It feels a lot faster and lighter than the DRZ. Many torks. The RFS engine is known to be pretty reliable. Some have been known to go 40k+ miles on original parts when not ridden like an absolute madman and maintenance is taken care of. I tried to buy this bike from bro but he wouldn't sell.
>>13819748
Will it stay idling with the choke on?
>>13819736
This looks like a BARF FNR >>13819556
I spend most of my time on BARF but I'm the only bikefag that goes to N/o/rcal meets. I don't know if a nice size bay area /dbt/ meet will ever happen so you should just attend some N/o/rcal meets from time to time. I'll probably run into you at a barf rally or group ride if you namefag while posting your next bike. Good luck with the next purchase, now is the perfect time to buy a bike around here.
>>13819748
Probably on to something. Get a haynes manual and follow that. Get everything up to spec. And welcome to the party.
>>13819748
Actually being a Honda it probably doesn't have an enrichment circuit for the choke. My guess is clogged pilot jet.
>>13819762
I haven't checked that yet. I'll post back with results in a hot minute once I get this thing home.
Should I buy a red pig to replace my green one?

CCPT pls. The 650r isn't the only gud pig.
>>13819795
I'll take more in a bit, it's dark right now and I need to eat dinner and unload it.
>>13819801
I'm not him. Does he have one though? I want a 650R motard so damn bad.
>>13819798
>Buy an Italian bike for keks.
You mean wasted shekels.
Oh, and shit reliability.

>You mean wasted shekels.
>Oh, and shit reliability.
Basically, but I love the damn thing way more than I realistically should. Has not failed to put a smile on my face, and I've only put 800 miles on it so far.

oh this looks nice too. https://louisville.craigslist.org/mcy/5289010618.html
I wonder how hard it is to plate bikes in KY currently.
>>13819803
Very classy looking.
>>13819815
I'm busting your balls, I know that feel. As long as your prepared go for it.
>>13819798
I'm in NYC, so you can guess the roads are straight garbage, I need to ride upstate upwards of an hour to get mediocre roads, and that's in middle of the night when no one is on them but skid demons.
This is the closest thing I have for going somewhere quick in a loop, look it on street view and you just see bunch of shitty ass roads.
>>13819815
You can afford a bike that nice so you can afford to maintain it. Suggesting one is a very different story though. I wouldn't suggest an Italian bike to anyone unless I knew they had "money".
>>13819805
He bought one recently. I also really want a XR650R motard or 525EXC motard but a 600r sound good enough for now.
Are these done? Tread on outside is thick, middle is a bit bald though?
>>13819798
I keep thinking Lake Shore Drive will be a great cruise and keep forgetting about all the fucking bumps.
>>13819839
Yes, replace. They can't move water.
>>13819839
yep pretty much done. If you want to use them more then you need to ride exclusively togue/track until the edges are worn too.
>>13819831
Is this the blurple or the other guy with the 600
>>13819851
>>13819848
What tyres shall I get?
>>13819839
The way they're worn, you should go with a touring/sport touring tire. They'll still have plenty of grip for the little leaning you do but they'll last a lot longer.
>>13819865
Depends on what kind of bike you have, where you ride, if it rains a lot and what type of riding you do.
>>13818647
first bike
>>13819866
Owned bike 3 weeks, so previous owners marks
>>13819872
It's a gs1200ss. I like twisties and speed. Bikes 90% used for fun.
What was the difference between a Street Triple and a Speed Triple?

LSD is GOAT cruise.
>>13819839
They're not gonna be a problem until you have to ride in the slightest dampness. Mine are nowhere near as bad as yours and in fact still above the wear marker but riding in the rain is absolutely impossible.
>>13819891
>>13819901
Naw dude take sheridan all the way to Lake Forest. It gets twisty

Follow that north for a bit and check out how purdy that cruise is.
>>13819882
Pilot Road 4 GT is the way to go for that bike and use my nigga.
>>13819932
Where has he been?
>tfw discover card stolen
>can't buy any bike shit for 4-6 business days
>wasn't going to buy any right now anyway but now that I can't
>suddenly really want those padded kevlar jeans right now
anybody got a card with a chip yet?
>>13819891
Spped triple 675 faired, street zriple 1000 naked
>>13819945
Kevlar jeans really aren't worth it. They look a lot dorkier in person so you might as well get overpants and take them off at your destination
>>13819937
I know it's awesome.
Last time I did it I wound up in Kenosha
>>13819945
I do, its a fucking hassle. Takes longer to scan, and if doesn't scan it wont tell you till it finishes taking 2 times as long.
>>13819832
>money
kek that bike cost me $7k m8. Supposedly MV Agusta F4s are bulletproof. Only weakpoint is the cooling system, and I've already invested the $100 to fix the only issues with it. I'm not worried about the bike breaking at all. Just upkeep.
>>13819831
You poor bastard. This is my typical route, just south of Chicago.
BTW BasedChicagoAnon this is the route, I finally figured it out with a friend today. Link related: https://www.google.com/maps/@41.7076813,-88.0154487,12z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!6m1!1szHeTS2CxaV-0.kEdvd76lM8xg
I think that's how I share it anyway.
>>13819840
LSD would be great if it weren't for the construction. Nice that they're almost done though. Head down here, you can literally run this route right off of I-55. You can skip the Willow Springs Road portion as well, since it's under construction so a good portion of it is shit currently.
>>13819954
I take it to about the Naval base and hop on 41 back.

7k cash is a lot of money in a place filled with 18yo nobikes.
>>13819958
$100 towards engine ice? Also your route needs permission.
>>13819951
thx m8

The 50cc you got when your girlfriend left you doesn't count.

b-but anon I'm an 18yo nobody. I just have two jobs.
>>13819974
Nah, the radiator is only supported from the left side, so it has a habit of snapping. a $25 bracket fixes that issue, the other one is the plastic radiator fan that sits right next to the headers, which is replaced by a $75 aluminum radiator fan that plugs right in.

Yeah they're a hastle. I'm a fucking cashier and nobody knows how to use the damn things, so I have to walk around and show everybody. It takes way longer for every transaction even it they know what they're doing. To make it worse my store has a bar under the insertion point that nobody thinks to put the card through, so everybody bends their cards at a ridiculous angle to shove it in and then complains to me about how it is in the way. People shake the damn card reader off its hook trying to put their cards in the wrong way.

Logic doesn't work against kids like that.
They ride for looks.
Cruisers are for old fat men don't you know?
20 here. I bought the judge for comfort.
I ride to and from work 40 miles a day and my DR650 seat sucked for that and revved too high on the highway.
This cruiser is perfect for me.
I ride every single day no matter the weather.

I thought you were dead already.
Didn't you and your dad fuck your bike up with a backwards nut?
>>13819992
>Damn dude, how long is that lap?
Roughly 70 miles. Generally there's not much traffic.
That little "loop" right after getting off I-55 for the first time is our midpoint, which is a 7-eleven we usually stop at for a bit to grab food and rest our asses.
Recently there was since we were running it at 1:30P on Sundays instead of 4P due to the sun being a nigger, but once spring rolls around generally that's the popular route for every Sunday. Otherwise we're rolling up to Sheridan and enjoying that route.
No gopro footage though.

>18 year old with MV Agusta
It was $7k and I had to finance something in hopes of actually building credit, plus I got sick of chasing 1000s/600s in corners on my GS300 and then getting fucked sideways on the straights, so I did what any reasonable person would do and bought an Italian superbike.
>>13819739
How is it? one near me for sale and was thinking of check it out.
