there is some weird sort of division in Canberra between cruiser losers and other bikers, does that happen in other places too?
>>
>>13855487
Not really. The overall length, handlebar width, saddlebags, wide tires, none of these are going to be helpful when filtering. Though, you still probably will be able to filter most of the time, discounting the Times when you need to fit in a ~1 meter gap between a bus and an asshole BMW driver who just wants to fuck up your day

In poland I don't really experience much bikeism. Cruisers wave at me if I wave at them and I ride a 250. Really the only ppl who don't wave are scooters but I think it's more to do with them hanging on for dear life than any actual hostility or even apathy

ANU, doing B arts, there are quite a lot of bikes and stuff around ANU which is cool because they seem to be the one thing the nazi-esque parking monitors don't ticket, I'll make sure to wave to every cruiser I see anyway.
>>
>>13855529
Couple of years(7-8ish?) back, they took out a whole bunch of the motorcycle parking on campus in favour of car parks.

For a week all the bikes showed up early and parked 1 bike to a parking spot, following which they put bike parking back in.

Was pretty much the last time they messed with bike parking.

$8500 is pretty good for a brand new Ducati. I didn't think they sold anything under $10k. It's also very comparable to the alternative, the Triumph Scrambler.

I actually like the Triumph better but the Ducati is lighter and more powerful

I get the impression it's more the cold tarmac that is way less sticky. Roads here are average in hot summer, the dropoff during winter seems severe. Or I'm just a chicken, not used to winter riding.

The roads are definitely less sticky. I was going straight in second gear, opened the floodgates of the anger of 26 Japanese horses and got an appreciable shimmy from that
>>
>>13856020
Well surely during winter tarmac has several reasons why it grips less, temperature, layer of humidity, more rains/snows so its dirtier on average.

Save up for a super sport bike, or better yet, sell the car and buy a bike on the same day.
Here's some tips
Don't buy a helmet
The faster, the better
Stop signs are for chumps
Don't let the cops arrest you, run from the fuckers
You always have the right of way
Make sure you get at least a liter bike as your first.
With any luck, you'll kill yourself as soon as you get on it and none of us will have to read your shitposting ever again

You live with your parents and contribute nothing. If you were really a grown up, you might get a job and pay your family some rent. Otherwise, you're a lazy piece of entitled shit who pisses and moans on a Mongolian yak herding forum. You don't even deserve the car your long suffering mom bought you. Get a fucking job if you want a bike.

don't shave the black spacer, try get a longer bolt and fit all properly. The problem is not the lenght, but that spacer could be there to avoid excessive stress on the frame if you drop the bike.
Take out the bolt from the other side and take it with you to a shop for reference.

Sounds like it's time to adjust a few things. Wot usually means too much fuel and not enough air. You may want to reset everything to factory and work from there. Also make sure your valves aren't out of spec. It can make things a total bitch

>>13856884
Yeah, I do that.

It runs rich as fuck still and backfires and pops and when I let off the throttle, it dies. Anyone have any idea of what it is? I can fix it myself, but like I said the hard part is diagnosing.
