good luck finding a katana in the first place, they are impossible to find.
scooters?
bikes under 300cc?
I've never ridden on a sub 300cc bike that could get to 60mph, perhaps if you are a manlet, a child or a tiny woman you could use such a tiny engined machine, but real men ride 650s to learn on, and at least a liter bike if they plan on using major roads

Dusseldorf (DAPD-NRW). Four accidents involving motorcyclists in North Rhine-Westphalia: It died a young man, three drivers suffered on Thursday in serious injury. On the highway 565 near Meckenheim lost a motorcyclist yet unknown reason, the control of his machine and crashed as a police spokesman said on Friday morning on request. In this case, the young man moved to serious injuries. He died still at the accident site.
According to the police the identity initially not stable. For the man, it is likely to be a 22-year-olds. The police suspect that the driver to quickly drove his racing machine. During the salvage operations the motorway towards Bonn was locked. There were traffic jams.
A 50-year-old motorcyclist drove in Mettmann in a roundabout when a car collided with his motorcycle, as police said. Probably the sun had blinded the driver, which is why it came to the rear-end collision. The motorcyclist crashed and was hospitalized. It originated 5,000 euros damage.
In Neuss motorists ignored when turning a motorcycle and collided with this. Here, the 63-year-old motorcyclist pulled to serious injuries and was hospitalized. Fatal did not exist, police said. The damage is estimated at EUR 4,000.
On the highway 52 crashed a motorcycle sidecar. The police reported the vehicle came between junctions Dorsten-East and Marl-Frentrop from of previously unknown causes of the road and crashed into the guard rail. The driver was seriously injured. The leaderless team came a few meters away on the hard shoulder to a halt. Police said the damage to property with 10,700 euros.

>bike is fucking -gorgeous-
I will find my classic sportbike to restomod. I've got a few models and paint schemes I want.
The best part is making a sluggish, heavy, old sportbike better with new tech. So I get the beautiful old bike looks, but benefit from four caliper brakes, upside down forks, fuel injection, pod filters, new exhaust systems.
And I love the titanium exhaust on that Z1 above. When I get my bike, I'm definitely treating the exhaust with titanium. Because heat discoloured rainbows.
>>13962325
So was that really wr anon that died?
>>13962325
He shouldn't have bought that GSX 550 ;_;
RIP
>>13962361
What did he get? I feel bad now, I didn't know he died.
>>13962325
Actually wr anon?
>>13962378
Disregard the first sentence, I goofed

Buy anything for your bike recently /dbt/ / any projects you all have for the winter?
>Pic related is what I just ordered
Still only a portion of what I need for my winter project on my 01 zx6r.
She'll be all nice and right by spring hopefully.
>>13962401
It says 2015 m8
Unless it was shopped...
So where the fuck is he?
Dead or just b&
>>13962422
Marijuana leaf and 4 gauge wire are for a buddy...
>>13962422
New tires, brake pads, fuel lines, filters (obviously). Was going to buy hard panniers as well but I probably can't afford them.
>>13962438
The Bild screenshot is obviously fake, just look at the other articles. Bild may be retarded, but not this retarded.
He's probably rusing us just like when he claimed to have bought an A2 bike.
>>13962438
Of course its shooped.
I want to get my boyfriend something for his birthday, and I know he needs new Winter riding gloves. What's the best I can get him with ~70 dollars?
Sorry, I don't know too much about bikes and Google is giving me all sorts of different answers.
>>13962452
> 70 dollars
Heated grips.
>>13962449
Who's bild? Is that wr anon real name?
>>13962440
You just reminded me I need new tires, thank you anon. Somehow my front tire has litterally almost no tread...

>>13962461
How do you forget about getting new tires?
>>13962452
get him heated grips instead
Oxford Hotgrips for instance
>>13962452
give him a good 1 hour bj
70 bucks isnt enough
or a track day pass
why are bikers such braindead morons?
>>13962467
I'm not German, I don't get bild here.

I didn't bother to look at it for more than a second. It was another language that I couldn't copy paste translate so I gave no fucks and closed the image.
Bild could have been anything to me, I didn't know the word until now.
Don't you have some refugees to feed anyway? Fuck off
Do you guys have any suggestions on cheap action cams? From my understanding most don't over an external microphone connection. Do I have any choice outside of the super expensive gopro's?
>>13962510
Get an external audio recorder, put sound on top of video afterwards.
If in Yurop, Denver ACT-8030W
If in Murica SJCAM 5000
>>13962510
I use a Drift Stealth 2. It's cheap, pretty good battery life, major downside is the microphone is terrible. But you can fix that by putting a sock over the camera.
>>13962440

My gear shifter pedal keeps falling off, how do I fix this? I tightened it once but it came off again in traffic. Did I just not tighten it enough?
>>13962548
Unscrew it, and put locktite on it, and the screw it back in.
Heating cooling and vibration can do some crazy shit.
>>13962546
m8 you've been emailing back and forth with me all day, of course I'm alive.
>>13962545
Post good-looking bikes then. I'll go first.
So I went to ride today, and there was a tiny lil puddle under my left foot-peg, near my shifter, is that transmission fluid or something? It looked black, but not like oil
>>13962567
Wait a second... You are the ?!
>>13962576
Most bikes don't have seperate fluids for the transmission, it all uses the same oil.
What you saw was engine oil.
And why do you own a bike and not know this shit?
>>13962591
Because I've owned a bike for a week ;~;
>>13962422
i bought some nanotips so i could use my phone with my gloves on, and a stator cover cause mine was scratched.
>>13962548
>>13962596
Fair enough, if its a slow leak its nothing to be concerned about, since you're keeping an eye on the oil level every week or so right?
>>13962579
Jawohl.
>>13962615
Danke.
>>13962613
I am now, heh. it was a tiny puddle, I can actually see where it's coming out from, the thing the shifter connects to, is there something I need to seal or tighten?
Anyone else like riding while buzzed? Makes me feel infinite and aware of everything. I usually pound down a can of 4Loko or fruit punch Steel Reserve.
I get on the freeway, and just punch that shit and feel like I'm on a rocket ship. I even road past a cop on his cop bike on the main road and he sorta looked at me, but then chilled out cause I was following the traffic rules. That's the good thing about helmets cause can't no one see when you're buzzed.
>>13962655
no fuck you
Brought the ninja to a local shop to have the forms dealt with, made a friend
>>13962671
You must be a weak bitch who can't into self awareness even while buzzed. I bet you still need training wheels going 30mph while sober.
>>13962627
Depends on where the seal is, some seal you can pull and replace externally, some seals the engine has to be cracked open to get to.
Also being that the shifter is almost lowest on the case, it could be the leak is coming from somewhere above that. I had an output shaft seal leak that trickled down the shifter.
>>13962679
>has no self control
>lmao you must have not self awareness
>isn't aware he's a retard
I think I didn't laugh so hard in days
>>13962686
Naww cause it's the underside of the shifter, it's coming from the tube thing
Do you guys like cruisers?
Video related, me and a few friends drifting around a corner up in the blue mountains.

I'm a Methodist, sooooo nope.
>>13962719
every fucking time i just love that webm
>>13962709
You sure about that?
Most bikes lean towards the shifter on the kick stand and a good portion of the underside, upstream of that, is wet.......
>>13962768
Yeah you're right, I'm so new to this shit. I'll take a flashlight and take a good look later, really hope it's nothing serious.

Have any of you canadafags ever imported a bike from japan? I'm looking into getting myself an RVF400R but seeing as how they basically don't exist in north america, let alone the west coast of canada, finding one has been fairly difficult. Any ideas?

>>13962944
I hope so, I just want to ride.
I'm only supposed to rest in my bed or recliner and do some walking with this contraption. It has a rod that goes to that knee thing and locks my back in place.
Can't even do physical therapy so I cancelled them from coming to my house. A nurse still sees me every week though.
I was at least able to make it to see my dad before he passed away in the hospital and make the funeral.
When I was still in the hospital he had a heart attack nicknamed the widow maker. Nice right.
I'm keeping the bike for him, he told me not to sell it to pay bills lol.
Hopefully I'll be able to ride it again. I'm so nervous the surgeon will tell me no.
Just had to get that off my chest.
I'm blogging, I know.
>>13962980
because the weight/handling characteristics or because they make it harder to get to the engine?
>>13962967
Bruhhhh a lot were grey imported here in Australia and they're still pretty rare and expensive. If you can find a quality importer I suppose you could do it, but expect to pay out of the ass for just about all logistics, never mind getting it certified roadworthy.

>>13962992
In canada we have a rule where if it's 15 years old or older, it is exempt from all importation laws and can be insured no problem. It's just a matter of finding someone with experience in importing bikes at this point.
There are lots of reputable places near me that import cars, but none of them have any experience with bikes. I found windbell motorcycles in vancouver, but they haven't emailed me back yet.
>>13962939
>playful doge
>>13963006
If it's as easy as you say it is I would go ahead for an import instead of finding one locally. Have you considered the potential difficulty of getting some parts as well?
>>13963006
why not just buy a bike that was released to your area? It's not like there aren't good options
>>13963030
>>13963031
I have considered the difficulty of getting parts, that's why I want to find a really good importer with experience with bikes so they can make sure it's in the best possible condition before I consider buying it. I already have a jdm STI and it's not too difficult to find parts for, but I'm aware that bikes are very different than cars when it comes to parts. Not everything can be interchangable with parts from other models.
I have considered getting a bike that's more available here, but I've completely fallen in love with that v4 sound and the look of the bike in general.

Maybe find a windscreen for my DR650. ProCycle sells a good one but they exclude 99s. Goddommit. Also, I'll do chain maintenance, bend the right turn signal bracket back to shape, and maybe fix the handlebar alignment. Seriously, how does a turn signal bracket bend and the signal itself not break? I'm not complaining; I'm fucking impressed!
>>13963199
Z1000. My nephew was riding his power wheels in the yard and I was pretend to race and chase him and stuff just idling around. Was having fun slipping tires like I was a dirt bike and fell over. No gear of course cause I was going 2mph in my front yard. ATGATT! NO EXCUSES!
>>13963235
You should lie and make up a better story than that when you tell people in the future.

Dropping a bike isn't a big deal when you have disposable plastic pieces to take the blow. Unless you're at highway speeds or something crazy. Then you're fucked.
>went to MSF a year ago
>never went above 20mph
>don't remember shit from the course
How the fuck do into buying a bike this spring, going at highways speeds and downshifting? I figure I'll just find a decent jap rat and have my buddy drive me to the seller, then ride the bitch to a parking lot an ride around for 30 minutes or so to build my confidence.
When I drove stick, I'd just put it in neutral coming to traffic or a stop, then put it in year.
On a bike, when going from say 50mph to 15mph, just pull in the clutch, brake, and count the shifts the own?
tfw cold rain
>>13963325
Yeah, it'll become muscle memory. Nonsequential gearbox so you can hop from fifth to second if speeds allow. Surefire way to know is But if going to a traffic stop, just cluch in, go all the way down, stay in first at the stop with clutch in just in case you need it.
>>13963325
>just pull in the clutch, brake, and count the shifts
That's what I used to do all the time, and still do on occasion. I would hold in the clutch until I needed the throttle again. Now I just go down one gear at a time while letting the clutch out between each shift.
I don't think it really matters how you do it
>>13963345
>Surefire way to know is But if going to a traffic stop, just cluch in, go all the way down, stay in first at the stop with clutch in just in case you need it.
I think you accidentally deleted some of your sentence
>>13963360
Oh, I guess I did.
Lost my train of thought now too. Sorry.
>>13963325
you revmatch and go down gears one at a time IMO.
Blip the throttle, if you learn to blip right you can legit smoothly downshift with no clutch at all if you want to.
bike gearboxes are sequential, to shift a bike smooth is to shift it fast.
>>13963373
>>13963345
My bad, forgot to clarify gearboxes are sequential but you CAN skip gears need be. Blehhh need more sleep.
>>13963373
Do you warm up your bike b4 you ride?
>>13962323
Oh.
Okay.
>>13963402
didn't mean to quote that post
>>13963345
>>13963350
>>13963373
Alright thanks guys.
So I'll just make sure to take it easy when easing out on the clutch when downshifting.
I've never engine braked through every gear when coming to a stop, too much engine braking.
>>13963402
I like to let it warm up a bit. Usually, the time it takes to finish putting on my gear is enough to get it to >150F. Then I start riding easy 'till it more or less stabilizes ~250F or so. DR650, so aircooled.
>>13963424
don't rely soley on engine braking when stopping. Do not neglect your brakes, especially the front one.
>>13963440
ayyy alamo
>>13963424
if you revmatch right you can just rape the clutch out, just learn to blip.
>>13963235
It's always when you're fucking around doing stupid shit that you get hurt. I had to learn that the hard way too.
>>13963183

The problem is I don't know what this device can and can't do yet.
I do know that roller coasters are out of the question. He looked at me like I was crazy when I asked that lol.
Apparently it has a 40 year life until I need a new one.
Unfortunately my dad was full of tubes and hooked up to machines when I saw him. He should have died where he collapsed on the floor but managed to wake up and be alert all the way to the emergency room.
They had to put him under while they did a bunch of things but had to keep him sedated so he never woke up fully. Eventually his organs started to go one by one and once his kidneys went we decided it was time to let go. That was a decision I hope none of you have to make.
Funny story tho. My dad was a goofball and was funny. I'm not super religious but I at least feel like maybe he's sending is signs he's with us.
The day he passed I royally shit myself. Like an absurd amount of shit.
The hospital had been pumping me full of at least 2 types of laxatives since I was on such high doses of morphine. I could go on and explain how bad it was but I think I've embarrassed myself and grossed everyone out enough lol.
I think my dad played a prank on me that day.
>>13963289
Just keep at it bruh you'll get used to it soon enough. i started on an expensive 600 and it wasn't too hard to manage the power and get the hang of it.
listen to me, i would know, I've been riding for like a few months and have only had one accident
>>13963092
That site is awesome! That t13 kit looks so fucking sexy. Thanks man!
>>13962967
Is this your first bike? I would suggest not getting a grey import as a first bike, there are way more options for you within Canada. If you are in Ontario and are trying to curb high insurance prices, its still not worth it. But if you do decide to go with it, there is a guy here in Toronto that goes to Japan every summer and gets some nice bikes. Nuak JDM is his shop, afaik he is still in business.
>>13963483
Don't feel bad man, I can't go on roller coasters or any high-G flights, could detatch my retinas and cause perm blindness. Offroad is my only fun...
You know what pleb, he stayed here to give you the message to never sell the SV man. He'd a be proud of you.
>The day he passed I royally shit myself. Like an absurd amount of shit.
kek, sounds like a fun guy to be around.
Love practical jokers.
I remember the time when my granmother died years ago, the skies were a beautiful pink color. Can never forget, I was standing on mulch in a field and looked up... I didn't even know she passed until later that night. And then a year after her deactivated phone started making noises and stuff.
>>13963516
Unfortunately I'm in BC so a trip to ontario for a bike really isn't worth it. It is my first bike that I've owned but I have a good amount of experience riding my friends gs500 and another friends cb450 nighthawk
>>13963523
>And then a year after her deactivated phone started making noises and stuff.

So what's with your eyes, that sounds scary.
>>13963325
Just pull in the clutch, shift down to first, then release the clutch. It's not hard. You get a fair bit of engine braking too, which is nice.
Hey /dbt/, do you get back on the horse after you oy drop your cycleghetti? Pic related
>just ordered new tires and bar risers
Aww yeah
>>13963551
I have relatively bad eyes; it's hereditary. It's myopia and also have astigmatism.
In the back of your eyeball you have what's called a retina, it contains the rods and cones for sight, and the thing *can* detatch itself internally from your eyeball if under somewhat high gravitational stress etc.
Don't want to become blind, and that's probably why I didn't pursue becoming a pilot.
>>13963564
kek is that your perspective of the webm
>>13963527
If you are dead set on it than expect to pay upwards of 5-6 k for a 15 yo bike. You will need look it over in Japan before you import it as well. The shop that I mentioned provides import service as well so you could try getting him ship it for you or look for an importer locally to check it over and ship it.
>>13963582
I did find an importer in vancouver that specializes in bikes, I'm gonna get a quote from them and do some research to find out whether or not they are reputable.
Thanks man!
>>13963564
of course

Hi guys, i'm in hospital, i went out riding and was hit side on by a car driven by some Chinese fuckwit who'd never driven anything bigger than a micra who rented a massive Nissan monstrosity. i'd only been riding for less than a year.
the first thing that happened was my ICE, my sister, yelled at me that bike riding was dangerous, and that she's going to get rid of my bike
then my parents yelled at me that they told me it was dangerous and that i am lucky i wasn't killed and that if i don't get rid of that bike i'll be kicked out of home (12% unemployment here) and they weren't going to pick it up from where it was left
the kicker though, what made them all shut the fuck up and stop YELLING AT ME for being hit by a car?
I wasn't on my bike when it happened, i was at woollies picking up oven cleaner and vegetables for my mum, walking in the parking lot. The bike was parked.
Motorcycles, less dangerous than walking.
>>13963580
>astigmatism
Got this too. iirc your eye shape is different.
It's like football shaped. Well very subtle, not that extreme.
Anyone have fun travel/adventure/camping with bike stories?
I need to live vicariously through you
>>13963637
>I wasn't on my bike when it happened
holy shit kek
keep the fucking bike
>>13963639
aye, like a football especially where the colored iris is. I creep people out when I close my eyes and look around because they can visibly see something moving around under that eyelid
>>13963637
Holy shit, I'm sorry anon.
And when you're hurt and not doing well being yelled at is not appropriate.
What injuries did you sustain?
And I hope you heal fast.
>>13963645
Of course I am, it's a new bike (for me anyway) I only just got off my Ls. All they heard was "went out on his bike, got hit by a car, BAN ASSAULT BIKES!"
>>13963657
damn right lol.
Is your bike black and scary too??
>>13962896
my 77 puch that i restored. put way to much money into the engine but it was worth it. thing really rips.
>>13963639
>Anyone have fun travel/adventure/camping with bike stories?
No but I find places to explore without traveling too far.
>Trying to get to another road. I think I can go through a neighborhood to get there
>Nope. Neighborhood does not connect to that road.
>See dirt road at the back of the neighborhood though.
>continue down said dirt road
>goes behind a corn field, through a construction site, some ditches
>get to a caution tape at the end. Can see a road on the other side, and I think it's the main road in town
>lol FTP go under the tape
>oh it's the interstraight.
>cruise down that road for a couple miles to find an exit
>>13963656
Cracked ribs and concussion, not fully broken probs thanks to my biker gear, some kind of deep bruising on my hip as well. I'm being kept overnight (Australia, it's free) on observation.
Problem is i can't start my bike with cracked ribs, might have to grab a cheap scooter or a cheap bike with an electric start for a while ;_;
>>13963672
Do the pedals even work with that exaust?
Very nice though, i like it. why don't more scoots come with big wheels like that?
>>13963691
How many road-legal bikes actually have kick start?
>>13963687

okay there goes the cheap joke bike idea, RM125 it is.
>>13963710
For shitbikes like that just look at recent craigslist ads and buy whatever is cheap.
CRF150F is way good though.
>>13963703
Pretty much only selected dirt bikes.
>>13963702
yeah bent the pedal arm ever so slightly now it clears the pipe by about 1/4inch. most mopeds have bigger wheels like this. but now all they make are dumb toilet scooters
>>13963729
IDK about in Aus but in the US bikes are supposed to have lights that function while the bike isn't running. Since that can't be done without a battery, factory dual sports always have e-start anyway.
>>13963703
Mine... it's an 82 Honda CM250. I like light bikes.

they released this which is the same thing but better and not retro, they're insanely comfy, have this thin little tank on them because of the engine configuration.

Do some of you guys actually wear race leathers to commute?
>>13963739
Yep, that's exactly how it works here - if it's road legal there's both a kick starter and an e start generally, though I have seen street legal bikes with just kick start floating around

Meh if and when i get a BMW itll be a k1200s or k1300s, thats a sexy bike though.

sorry the only meme-manufacturer is yamaha with it's meme-T series of bikes literally designed to appeal to people who are shit at riding.
>>13964063
It's not a meme, just an inside huehuehue joke.
If it gained traction and oc was created and it spread far enough then it would be a meme
tl;dr learn what a meme is faggot
>>13964071
First thing I thought of was " wow, that's edgy" and then I saw your filename.
It's like they let /b/ try to advertise. Only thing left is some monster energy logos.
>>13964085
Like I said. BIRTH of a meme. As in at the very start.
Fucks sake faggot. Do you even into critical thinking?
>>13964085
a meme is repeated idea
So everybody, any V-Storm is hereby referred to as a scooter, try and argue on reddit and other places that it's technically a scooter if you are a reddit poster (i am not myself)
>>13964071
I rode with someone with an FZ(MT)09. He went wide on almost every corner lol.

>>13964119
Like I said, they're designed for people to do little pulls between like 50 and 120 km/hr (not too fast that'd be dangerous) and to go post online about how it "wheelies for days" when they're too vaginal to do anything other than bounce the front wheel a few centimeters when they hit the throttle.
They are a bike for straight line heroes and idiots, more engine than chassis.
I don't mind the engine, if they made it rev out a bit more, hotter cams to put some extra power up the top and wedged it in an R6 frame I'd be all over it, the mt-09 is a spud though, hate them.
Should just spend a bit more and get a bike that corners amazingly too like the new gsx-s

Replace with newer model scooter pads. They're better because newer. All problems solved.
