man you fucked that up lol.
Electronics pro, motorcycle noob here,
Anyone who has a helmet communicator how does it talk to other helmets? I know they have bluetooth for connecting to your phone but how does it broadcast to other people? Im looking to figure out what frequencies / bands it works on and if it is like CV or whatever. Thanks :)

Got to ride an electric yesterday.
This feels strange. I want to get it on the highway and ride around town but i don't like the sticker price.

Yeah pham. You got it made.
>>13980616
That's why I posted here matey

at least it isn't an hourly wagekek type of deal, and they are paying for me to live in london

yeah that part is not the best, hopefully transferring to UW next year.
>>13980622
>$20k
Does it have a vagaina in the seat?
>>13980622
Like $18,000~ right?
The Empulse kind of interests me. The Zero bikes don't have any clutch or shifter at all, yet the Empulse does. Though apparently you don't have to clutch in all the time, and you can start in any gear from a dead stop.
What was it like to ride?
>>13980638
Umm you're wrong. it has a 6 speed transmission.

>a shit bike is still a bike.
but somehow a fat person isnt really a person.
>>13980650
That was my big catch with it. I can buy two of my bikes for a electric with half the range and a top speed f 108.
>>13980659
fat people are people, they are just fat.
>>13980659
Fat person here
We are still people but due to our large mass we are less people/pound, and therefore lesser on average
>>13980669

Future bikefag here, how do you guys feel about
>Dainese in general
>Whole gear setups from the same company (jacket and pants, suit, gloves, boots, unders etc)
>Wearing riding suit anywhere but on track
>>13980639
Why are they covering the Elf logo?
>>13980651
It felt a little under powered, but I'm used to my FZ09 now so if it doesn't try to rip me off the seat it feels sluggish.
It's compact too. Would be good for smaller riders and despite the weight I could throw it around pretty easily. They took a lot of time getting the balance point right on it.
Much better to ride than the Zeros
>>13980659
>tfw you get outridden by a fatguy
>>13980690
Have you seen the MT-10? I love my 09. I really do.. but damn, if i want this thing. Hopefully they will make it in red next year.
Did i miss something are they discontinuing the FZ09?
>>13980692
>Dainese in general
Good gear although I dislike the company in general as they wish to lower the standards for things like CE certified armor.
Try all the brands you can get your hands on.
>whole gear setups
why not
>wearing riding suit anywhere but on track
totally fine, where I live most riders do that, only a retard would have a problem with it.
>>13980689
used to date an asian. sex was better, rest of the relationship wasn't.
>>13980706
>Good gear although I dislike the company in general as they wish to lower the standards for things like CE certified armor.
Thats really surprising since they make so many solid pieces of armored gear. Their armored shorts and jackets are super nice.
>>13980697
that'll be the day ill join wr anon.
also kinda chuckled at the idea of a fat guy on a sportbike
So, is it possible to have a sumo as a daily driver?
>>13980725
sure.
>>13980722
I am 240 lbs
>>13980725
Yes
>>13980722
> WOULD YOU JOIN ME IN DEATH?
>>13980692
>Dainese in general
Kinda tight fitting but okay in general. Also what >>13980706 said.
However I would still prefer something like a Schwabenleder or ALNE for that kind of money.
>Whole gear setups from the same company (jacket and pants, suit, gloves, boots, unders etc)
I'm more of a mix-and-match kinda guy. Although 3 pieces of gear ended up being A*.
>Wearing riding suit anywhere but on track
One-piece suits no, seems too inconvenient if you plan on doing anything but riding.
Two-piecers yes.
>>13980732
>>13980737
>tfw I was 300 lbs when I bought the bike
It's a noticeable difference, kek
Why exactly keeps a vehicle from moving when it is in gear with the engine off?
Saw all these at my local tractor supply.
I have a ton of jets, really thinking about just chopping my exhaust and clamping on one of these, they're like thirty bucks.
Exhaust shit is so expensive. Itd be the nicest thing on the bike lol
Snapped this the other day, Nice skinny jeans m8
>>13980752
Compression
![241531163470657[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/7z1UhRa.jpg "241531163470657[1].jpg")
>>13980725
It depends on the base bike, 450? not really. They require far too constant maintenance (every 800km) and have some fragility about them in stuff like the gearbox, the lower stress the engine like a 690 KTM, dr-z400, XR650R, WR250X etc.
Just don't get a CRF250L
>>13980752
the engine. a compression stroke takes a good amount of torque to move.
>>13980764
didn't finish my thought, the lower stress the engine the better. Check the manuals for service intervals.
IMO motards are weekend bikes not dailies, but it's fine if you get one of the lower stress bikes.
>>13980753
You could cut one of those end pipes off, paint it, put some fucking retard company name on them and sell them for $300.
>>13980764
Are any of the 450s street legal anyway? I know the WR and CRF are not
>Just don't get a CRF250L
Why not?
>>13980704
>are they discontinuing the FZ09?
i just have to many hobbies that I cant afford.
put some fucking retard company name on them and sell them for $300.
I have an idea!
How about WAT RACING
>>13980754
At least he's wearing denim.
>>13980768
>>13980764
Looks like I'm getting a Husqvarna 701 SM then. Thanks mate.
>>13980746
and now i feel like an asshole, go fuck yourself keep it up mate
>>13980765
So you could technically move the tires with enough strength while it's in gear? How does compression keep the piston from moving easily?
>>13980778
Those ankles though...
>Florida plates.
>>13980790
>So you could technically move the tires with enough strength while it's in gear?
...wat
![IMG_1478270708[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/jHyRAaE.jpg "IMG_1478270708[1].jpg")
>>13980771
Here the KLX, CRF, WR RMX, EXC 450 are all road legal.
>>13980790
Technically, yeah.
You're essentially trying to squish some air inside a container.
>>13980790
>How does compression keep the piston from moving easily?
Because you're trying to compress air.
>>13980771
CRF250L has a spaghetti frame, they bend in at the frame if you drop one on a rock out on a trail or on the road, I saw one bend the frame in at the peg when it was dropped on concrete and he showed me the other side and it had been bent in there too.
Over here once your frame is fucked the bike is fucked and basically impossible to re-register.
>>13980796
europe requires blinkers and a rearvieuw mirror on any non-oldtimer bike.
![Suzuki-RMX450Z-2015-RHR[1].jpg_6667f4.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/0DdKp2e.jpg "Suzuki-RMX450Z-2015-RHR[1].jpg_6667f4.jpg")
>>13980806
yeah they all come with those here too people just take them off.
>>13980796
Where d you live? Only one of those legal here is the EXC
>tfw no EXC500
>>13980810
AU
I low sided at 45 mph and the bike hit a curb
how fucked is my bike?
>>13980827
Any pic?
>>13980827
About tree fiddy.
>>13980827
depends on if you're going to show pics or not. it' the forks and frame are fine, it's probably easy to fix
>>13980827
fiero with a bodykit
>>13980833
its dark outside im just talking general advice to calm me down before I go to the mechanic sunday
>>13980837
you think the forks and frame would get fucked up from a lowside?
it looked fine when I pushed the bike around a bit to see if the wheels were okay
>>13980845
>you think the forks and frame would get fucked up from a lowside?
nigga, its your bike. have you not looked at it at all? you tell us if the forks are fucked.
>>13980845
it all depends on how hard stuff got hit. if you can, take it out for a spin and see if it rides straight. it's probably fine
>>13980845
take a god damn shitty cell phone pic or gtfo
>>13980827
i hit a concrete barrier going 80,, onlything thats broken is the rim and a side panel
fucking honda's
>>13980854
>tfw gear lever is mashed in so cant even ride it
>>13980858
>>13980849
they seem fine idk
>>13980957
what bike is this?
>>13980964
2005 kawasaki 250 that I took the fairing off
>>13980754
I ride like this frequently
Except based no helmet
got my bike a little dirty today, rode 230 miles in low 40's/high 30's, took some pics along the way
>>13980972
some photos I took while I was pushing it home after the low side
>>13980974
>>13980991
>>13980972
you have the picture taking skills of a 8 grader, do you got fucking parkisons or something? the fuck mate.
>>13980996
can you guys imagine what it was like to be standing next to this thing when they shot it?
>>13980997
>has head slammed against pavement while going 45 mph
>expected to have top quality mental function
>>13981006
7th grader, then?
>>13981011
I just want my bike to be okay :(
unless the frame is fucked, you're fine. it'd have to be a hell of an impact to fuck that up though
>mfw there are people in /dbt/ RIGHT NOW who don't run their motorcycles on Natural Gas
>>13981096
I didn't know Whole Foods opened a line of gas stations.
>>13981096
>posting Drake
>expecting anyone to take you seriously
nigga, i run my bike on crude oil.
>>13981096
Whut? I'm always taking E10 or E15 if available. Some guy said this will add 5-10% to power. I have no proof but it actually feels faster and like it has more punch
>>13981096
>natural gas
>not liquid oxygen
pleb
>>13981121
it's called E15 because it gives you Extra15% horespower
>he doesn't ride his bike on glucose
>not having the power of a sun awaiting your throttle commands
It's pronounced newk-you-lar.
>not running your bike on the most powerful force in the universe, gravity

Can someone tell me what happens at local bike meet / rides. I'm pretty autistic and feel uncomfortable making conversations with new people. I love riding though. It's hard to tell on the local fb group what goes down. I'd like it if its just pull up at a certain time then all go cruise and fuck off after a while, but I'm worried we will have to ride somewhere then sit and talk for a hour.
I think it would be a good way for me to meet people though since I lost all my friends because I decided to go clean.
I know its a sperg post but fuckit.
>>13981504
your containment board is back on /tv/
>>13981506
Everyone pulls out their iPhone 6s Plus, they add each other on instagram, twitter, facebook, subscribe to each other on youtube, they all agree to go get coffee, none of them actually like coffee, its just a formality, they all check their gopros to make sure they're recording, one guy does a wheelie, someone does a burn out, everyone slowly leaves one by one.
Then the next day you'll get a message on facebook from Guido T. Thunderfuck along the lines of:
>BRO!
>Epic ride. Like E.P.I.C. Totally sick. We owned them roads like WAAAAAH. Fuck the police tho, nawhm sayin?
>Listen bro, could you like pass around my patreon link to your friends list to help a 2 wheeler out?
>You know the struggle brah
>Stay sick BRO!!!!!
>>13981548
I want a group of 5 plus people who will safely squid with me to lower the chance of me getting pulled over but I don't want the social coffee afterwards.
>>13981558
>safely squid
Oxymoron right there.
I dun fucked up, /dbt/
Hit some gravel coming out of the parking lot of my work and lowsided.
Shit was embarrassing.
Rasputin the scooterfaggot here, got a few things to say
You guys kind of convinced me a few things, next year i'm going to china for a few years to tech English if i can't get a real job in Australia, i'll keep my scoot till then because i'll be scooting around Chinese cities on fake Hondas if i go. but if i get a real job and end up in Melbourne, I'll get a full motorcycle licence and get a 250cc bike
either way, once i am in melbs, i'll get a 250cc real motorbike and maybe a small scooter as well. I got a scoot for the practicality, but it's so much damned fun that i want to be able to go faster than 80kph (got it up to 95 going down hill today)
Or i could get a 250cc scooter with big wheels... nah, real bike. scoots are fun and easy to ride, but they are mostly just fun and put a smile on my face, and motorbikes are apparently even more fun.
Also
>tell /o/ i ride with visor up
>they chastise me
>put it down today
>MASSIVE bug splatters on my visor
Thanks guys, i was being really stupid not having the visor down.
>>13981594
rip
wat bike
>>13981595
Or you could man up and buy a Suzuki Across.
Storage space like a scooter but without the general disadvantages of scooters.
>>13981595
I don't know how you lasted with your visor up. I use to ride with my visor up cause I was dumb enough to put my helmet in the trunk of my car...scratched the visor so bad.
Always wore sunglasses though. Got a wasp spray straight onto my glasses and fall by my mouth. Never again
>>13981587
Anonymous board, idgf. I like to speed on my bike.
>>13981595
>scooterfaggot
stopped reading fuck off
>>13981621
>is a squid
>and he likes to speed
Don't worry about meeting anyone, you'll be dead soon.
>>13981621
Because I've been riding only a week, usually at sub 60kph
>>13981607
It'll be a while until i get a real motorbike, won't do it until i have a real job and my own place, but that sounds like a good idea, it'll be some beat up second hand bike and i can see a few of them on bikesales for cheap.
I also plan to put a top box on whatever motorbike i get, i like storage space.
>bought a 1935 Indian four
What now?
>>13981506
Basically >>13981548 is right. Look at motors for a lil bit. You can honesty chill on your bike\stand there and it won't be weird. Sometimes DJ's playing shitty music are there too
>>13981635
Kek, been riding for 8 years, never even dropped a bike. Had 2 speeding tickets in the last 5ish years.
Don't we all love speed,thrills and risks?
Do you wear a high vis on your 250?
>>13981660
Sell everything you own to get it running, then have a tow truck on speed dial for when it falls apart down the street
>>13981665
>lmao if you're not a squid then you must wear a high vis race suit and ride a 250
You sound like the 17 year old kid who wears backwards baseball hats, drinks mountain dew all day, and tries to drag race Hondas in his stock 97 Mustang.
Go fuck yourself.
>>13981670
It does run and is a motherfucker to start.
>>13981678
Very jelly though. Do you have another bike to DD?Pics of this old beast?
>>13981672
Nope, none of the above. I like wheelies. I like going 200ks on country roads where there's no cops for miles. Why wouldn't I?
>>13981660
Be old
seriously though, that's pretty ballsy. Good luck, m8
>>13981688
I'll post a close up shot of it tomorrow morning. The only picture I have includes other things I'd rather not show.
I've got a couple Harley's and a CBX1000. I ride my '05 fatboy the most.
>>13981715
Look forward to it. How much did you pay for it?
>>13981740
Enough to call it mine.
>>13980782
Late reply but no need to be upset m80, losing weight is easy as fuck I'm just lazy
forgot to mention earlier, i scared the shit outta myself today, i had baby's first wheelie today coming off a small rise in the road, it felt like i was flying, i coulda swore my back tire was off the road but it's probably my imagination.
i might have peed a little, but god damn the adrenaline rush was amazing
>>13980659
hi
>look at cheap new bikes
>some pretty nice looking Chinese bikes
>about to make a post about poissibly buying one
>see Braaap bikes
>mfw they are Australian
>i can get a brand new, Australian bike, 250cc, for under 5 grand drive away
Hmmmm, are Braaap bikes OK?
They both satisfy my special snowflake desire and my nationalist streak
>>13981994
just buy used, you'll cry when you sell the bike you bought new for half the price because loldepreciation
>>13981989
You're not even that bad mate
>>13982005
320 lbs, but it helps i'm 6'3"
>>13981994
I'm 99% sure a Braaap is just a copied Honda crf, unless I'm thinking of another company
>>13982011
I'm around 2 inches shorter than you and less than a half of what you weigh, hungry skeletor mode, but that's OK man. You be you
>>13982001
But I can get a brand new, 2016 model, 250cc motorbike for 4k drive away, compared to buying a used suzuki acess or Honda CBR for 2k and then having to register it, ($600) pay for the sale fees, get it checked out and anything repaired, and use a 20 year old bike that's been through hell and back.
Available in road bike and naked cafe racer...
>>13982037
this is a cute bike...
>>13982001
I wonder if Braaap will be the new Hyosung... you know, you see the same bike for sale in the classifieds for six months, slowly getting cheaper and cheaper until the owner finally decides to do an insurance job on it instead
>>13982037
is it just me are are those wheels a bit... spindly...
>>13982052
>you know, you see the same bike for sale in the classifieds for six months, slowly getting cheaper and cheaper until the owner finally decides to do an insurance job on it instead
Ha, that's pretty fucking funny. That appears to be the way braaap is looking
>>13982037
yeah, go for it, i just looked at their website and somehow they have a fucking lifetime warranty.
>>13982037
>>13982049
road bike vs cafe racer, which one of those should i get for 4750 with a LIFETIME warranty?
>>13982061
either they stand behind their goods 100% or are backed by a rich company and want that customer satisfaction?
>>13981981
>that smile that doesn't disappear for a hour
>Tfw gear should be here Monday
A clean bike is a happy bike. But I hate that it gets dark out so quickly here in Arizona nowadays. Probably see something I miss tomorrow and I'll get pissed off for missing it. Or doubly so I should say, I'm already pissed at seeing a few drops of oil that looked like it dripped off the vent hoses. Was going to a local shop's classic bike show tomorrow and saw that crap. I don't think it's anything too severe, oil level was just fine, but am curious why it looks like it dripped off the vent hoses. She's an old bike 29 year old bike with roughly 55k or so miles so it's to be expected, especially since she had signs of being abused before I got her.
So, full faced helmets or dual sport helmets?

Fuckin sweet.
>>13982405
Shit like this happens when you have like 15 old sprockets in your garage
>>13982201
Did you get some sweet Casey Stoner replica leathers to match that thing?
>>13982429
I'm not that big of a faggot
>>13982429
You mean marquez replica leathers, repsolanon has a 93 on his bike
>>13982384
Those are actually really fucking cool
send me some sprockets bby? let me fidget with your widgets?
>>13982427
How long did it take? Did you have parts kits?
>>13982450
For whatever reason I don't like Marquez. I don't even know why.
I fixed that bike
I fixed it good
>>13982468
The gold one I just finished took like 2 hours with beer breaks. Only parts I bought were the clock movements from Hobby Lobby. Gonna try and make a chain perimeter frame. Not sure how I'll pull that one off yet.
>>13982451
I think now I have 2 sets of XR650R sprockets and one set of KLX sprockets. Thought about making a small desk clock with a front sprocket but not sure who I'd give it to
>>13982493
The chain Fram is a cool idea. Wouldn't it be pretty easy to hack saw and then tack weld it place? Also why not make one for yourself If you can't pick someone to give it to?
>>13982517
Weld the chain to itself, assuming those are aluminum sprockets
>>13982517
No I meant a picture frame. I could tack weld it together but not sure how I'd make the backing work or whatnot. Might just buy a cheap frame, weld up a perimeter for it, and JB weld it on.
>swingarm preload tools I made
>>13982537
I'd use some flat bar behind the chain for a picture frame. Drill and tap a hole or two for the clips to hold the backing in
can finals just be the fuck over already
>>13982554
Hrm. I have some flat bar I could probably use too. It would be the world's heaviest frame.

What's the ideal cc of a beginner bike and for how long should you be on it?
>>13982612
Depends, there is no ideal, but 250s are brilliant to start on
>>13982612
the cheapest 600 supersport you can get
1 year
>>13982597
Handy if you have to bludgeon an intruder on short notice then.
>>13982631
That actually sounds like a pretty good idea.

Jokes on you I let my dog fuck me
>>13982663
>>13982691
same doge 1.5 years later
my friend used to have a black dog called nigger
not even joking i asked his dad about it and he said 'oh yeah... nigger was a good dog.'
>>13982695
He would howl the dog death hymn until I stopped. He is not down for such things. He is nervous and a home body
My dachshund on the other hand, I really want to take him on rides. I plan to try in the summertime but my Basset would be bothering my wife the whole time about how we aren't home
Talked to my buddy at the bike shop yesterday. His brand new R1 has a recall for the transmission. No ride, no sale .
TFW, he is still making payments on a high that might spontaneously lock up the transmission.
>>13980722
Funny thing. My dad was 400 pounds at one point, still rode his hotted-up Suzuki TL-1000R absolutely everywhere in the summer. The rest of his riding club couldn't keep up, the second-fastest guy had a bone-stock CBR750 if memory serves. Was hilarious watching him win street drags and blow the whole group away on every highway run. He was always looking to beef up the bike a bit more, always found it a little too slow off the line, even at full go. Always trying new tires, exhaust work, ratio-tweaking, anything to get a bit more kick out of it.
When he started losing weight, every single day he rode the bike for a solid month, he got a speeding ticket, or at least a warning. He couldn't believe how fucking fast that bike was now that it wasn't carrying literally double its weight (the bike weighs 420-something dry).
Now that he's burned it off, he's just terrifyingly quick absolutely everywhere.
Bar end mirrors, waste of money or what? The thing I'm concerned about is the distortion, they tend to make cars look farther away than they really are.
>>13982734
I think they're absolute shit and look garbage as well.
I like my big standard mirrors.
>>13982612
There is no "ideal" engine size for beginners. You can't really measure how good a bike is for beginners solely by displacement because it leaves out literally all the information you need to work out what bike is best for you.
>See: RGV250 is a terrible idea for a rider with no experience, whereas an FZ6R is much more appropriate.
You should hold on to your first bike until you "know" you're ready for something else (i.e. 1.5-2 years after you bought it).
Knowing when you're ready to move up isn't when you "get bored" of whatever you're on, for the record. You might be able to max it out in a straight line, but I guarantee you won't be able to scrape pegs with correct body positioning for a long while after you get your first bike.
>tl;dr you're asking questions that only you can answer
Went on a 500km ride today, surprised how well this tyre is holding up still looks brand new lol, anywho saw a few neato bikes on my ride, they had a bike show at the Marlo pub, was mainly old Merican and pommy bikes ill post some pics, every tom dick and harry was doing the toy run today so thought id be different and go see that, No regrets the toy run fucking sucks anyway.
>>13981989
was talking about americafat people, not europefat.
These three were easily my favourite bikes there, All 3 are Elsinores, two CR 125's and a CR250, I want to ride one so badly.
>>13982708
Gee dbt is going slow, am i the only one here or something lol?
This bike was great because its a busa thats never been leant over past 30 degree lol, made my day. Idk why you would spend $10,000+ painting a bike you are not going to ride.

Would these fit on a DL1000? Basically the same engine, I currently have the 2bros pipes and they are too fucking loud.
Would the pipe off the 2bros fit onto these cans?
tfw your bikeu sounds like your neighbors lawn mower
tfw you thought your bike was geting stolen
>>13982959
Just stuff some chicken wire in them, what i did to shut my buzz box up when i bought it because the dick head who owned it thought a 3 inch muffler with no insides was a good idea on a Hyundai excel.
Will give it a nice tinny sound too.
That or be not cheap and just get some muffler packing.
isn't it about time for a new dbt tread? who wants to increase his dicksize and make one
Ok which one of you edgemasters is this

That's pretty cringeworthy.
>>13980754
guys what bike is this ? r6?
>>13983024
>not even remotely close to 300 posts in
>thread still bumping
Get out.
>>13983069
>fuck i cant see shit mate
but i look cool tho, right?
>>13983080
I bet he rides a cruiser.
>>13983086
It makes me sad because my buddy has a predator helmet and is a typical cruiser guy. :/
>>13980754
Dem chicken strips, To be honest he will probably be fine without gear guys.
>>13982489
you trolling? acting like 99% of people don't hate him.
>>13983097
Those tyres don't have any chickenstrips left, that's just grime and crap for a straight commute, you wouldn't even be able to turn using that little lean and I see no clear mark of further chickenstrips.
>>13983111
Have you seen how square his tires are?
He likely just rides around town and turns slowly.
>>13983074
2008ish r6
>>13983111
Can you not see how the tyre is bald in the middle and brand new on the outsides?
I have seen soft tail Harleys with smaller chicken strips.
>CHICKEN STRIPS XDDD
Can you guys stop this fucking meme.
All you sound like is children who picked up a new word and think they are cool for saying it.
Yes, chicken strips we get it, it's a well known phrase for like the last 40 years.
There's no reason to point it out every single fucking picture posted on this site.
>>13983126
>>13983097
Lol i just realised he has a Michelin Pilot power 3 on there too, thats a tyre with race tread on the outer edges for more corner grip, he has never used what makes those tyres expensive once lol.
>>13983134
People who buy sport bikes then lean them over less than 90% of people who ride cruisers deserve to be laughed at.
>>13980754
Whats that thing stuck behind jeans on his asscrack?
>>13983138
Tell us more about how you only like to go fast because you're a 16yr old nigger
>>13983138
>tfw motorway commute
>>13983148
>going slow at any age
You weren't born a turtle m8
Look at this sexy bitch.
Look at it.
>>13983138
so laugh. just stop typing chicken strips for fucking everything.
some thread a few days ago was a bike with a fully scrubbed and heat cycled tire and someone said lelelele chicken strips because he was too stupid to see that it was scrubbed all the way to the sidewall and hed never seen a scrubbed tire before most likely.
its become fucking childish the way this board parrots it.
half the people who say it probably dont know wtf they are talking about.
>>13983155
If you like fat chicks
>>13983146
why are you looking at his asscrack when everyones attention is either shifted to the bike or his lack of shoes...
>>13983150
Not riding slow at the oceanfront top have all the hotties state at you
You some kinda faggot boy?
>>13983165
haha epic dude! he must be gay! LOL!!! hell yes u got him!
>>13982490
as an EE major this is making me cry
>>13980722
>fat guy on a sportbike
>>13983155
disgusting, i want one and mod the fuck out of it but im poor as fuck.
>>13983155
Muh dick, I hope they make it with a larger displacement so I will upgrade to that sometimes in the future.
>>13983161
Again, most ppl on dbt are nobikes
>>13983146
>Made me stare at a mans arse
>Implying you made me do anything
Looks like a GPS.
>>13983148
You think teenagers ride fast?
Teenagers are all too scared shitless to even go over the speed limit on a bike, the biggest hoons i have ever been riding with are old cunts on harleys, admitted they go fast in straight lines still massive fucking hoons though.
This was my old bike after 6000 miles motorway
>>13983182
And is it a sport bike with racing tyres on it lol?
No?
Then none cares, the chicken strips meme is pointed directly at goons who buy a sport bike they can't even ride properly.
>>13983174
how in the fuck does he get himself back up, looks like hes stuck to the side for the rest of the trip.
>>13983180
Not around here. But I'm sure riding like a cunt is for all ages and bike types
>>13983170
>>13983180
>Made me stare at a mans arse
You're gay now, enjoy it.
>>13983182
These tyres were used almost to the edge, if they were actually used to the edge thus not showing blatant strips /dbt/ not knowing jackshit about tyres would be OMG LOOK DEM CHICKENSTRIPS only considering the center worn part.
The wheels on that r6 are fully used, perhpaps not by that rider himself but still.
I fucking love the smell of leaking head gaskets.
During my ride to university I ended up behind a Honda dominator, and when he opened the throttle, jfc it's like a two stroke. Also, met some kid on a 50cc something who called my 250 "Powerful".
In other news, coming up to a yield some cunt in a focus wagon cut the corner so hard if I were there one second earlier I'd be looking for a new bike, and my leg.
Anyway, didn't take any pics yet so enjoy this 3€ plate of food
>>13983187
So what you are saying is you ride like a little bitch and dislike when others have fun on their bikes?
That is less cool than me giving people who buy sport bikes then never lean them over shit.
Are you one of those people or something and that is why your butt is frustrated?
>>13983190
Looks like it would make a turd
