So /dbt/ does taking a chick for a ride count as a date?

Backstory:-
I asked out a chick at my college a few months back, she said she was busy. I assumed it was her letting me down gently.
On Friday, I bumped into her again, started chatting, she found out about my baiku, then invited herself for a ride.

Pic somewhat related. Its were I rode to yesterday, and likely the route I'll ride to with her pillion.

>replying to bait

>>14037378
Although anon is baiting, the retards who legit think that way live in a sheltered bubble of the upper class. Completely removed from any effect of mass immigration of those whose culture does not fit your own. They won't be impacted by increased taxes and costs in living in order to support them. They won't fear of violence in streets that were once perfectly safe. They won't see anything at all. But their warped sense of morality has been satisfied so they're happy =)

So around 6 months ago I picked up a half-restored long-time-garaged plated '92 DR350. 3k miles, new pumper carb, new chain/sprockets/fork seals, but needed to be rewired and one of the side plastics replaced due to what looked like an electrical fire. Mainly affected the lights (the speedo, tach, and cluster indicators worked, but headlight and blinkers didnt). Stiff gear shift but starts with just a couple kicks (once I got the hang of it) and pulls hard with great throttle response from the pumper carb.

I'm finally getting around to finishing up the rewiring (bike came with a spare wiring harness the previous owner was gonna use) and everything seems to be working so far. Just waiting on a better tail light, some turn signals, and an air filter and the true shitbike will finally be ready to hit the streets, sidewalks, drainage ditches, and empty construction sites.

Total cost to me under $1.2k US and some fun times with wiring diagrams.

I'm gonna cover the bike's plastics in the tackiest stickers I can find.

A first world citizen who doesnt follow a religion of bloodshed and would rather see my nation grow in the future instead of withering away and dying due to misplaced sense of 'morality'.

But it's okay, some of the europoors are starting to wise up and fight back. If only they didn't similar back in the early 20th century to squash the jewish influence of government in many european nations, maybe the jew controlled governments wouldn't be destroying nations from within =)

Not a single good argument in your post.
You know, the law also applies to refugees?
If you feel it isn't being upheld that is a fair complaint but is a seperate issue.
I too don't want a Rotherham in Germany.
I too would like strict policing and deportation of criminal refugees.
But when you say my opinion is a misplaced sense of morality I'll just respond with your opinion being a misplaced sense of nationalism.

Just do it. Its plastic and metal. Get a towel and some soapy water and wash the dirt off, then dry it and you're good.
Oil change is another topic, but you can always just look into a Manual if you have one, or just google where the oil change screws are.
You don't have to ask people about every problem you have.
Many can be solved by using your brain or google.

Some bikes use a cartridge oil filter. So they will have an oil filter cover.

GS500 has an oil filter cover

OPPRESSION!

Webm for bakas. Thank you.
>>
>>14038204
No. There is always a ghetto way to do shit. Since you are tossing the filter, a common trick is to hammer a screwdriver through the filter, and that gives you leverage to get it out.


Don't be cheap, buy the fucking tool.
>>
>>14038284
well yeah, i might as well, i'm already spending 16 euros + shipping on this shit, then the 5 euros for the tool won't really matter

A F650 has a oil filter cover, no need for the tool.
>>
>>14038276
Oh you the anon that bought one like a month a two ago? From near munich or so?
I cant remember that well but wasnt it realy just one screw to get the oil out? You dont need any tools besides that one screwdriver or so to get the Screw out.

yeah that's me. i'm trying to find a youtube video on how to do the oil change, but i can't fucking find shit. i guess the text tutorial in english will have to suffice
>>
>>14038332
Just try it. Worstcase is you have to push it to a bikeshop but oilchanges are normaly the easiest part of maintenance.
Oh and btw you can just buy oilfilters from ATU or MTU or what you have down there.
Just compare them to your current one, f650 st doesnt need a specific one i think.
Also put some Newspaper or so under your Pot for the old oil. It sometimes splashes around.
>>
>>14038355

yeah, but they don't have all the crushers and o-rings that need to be replaced. pic related is the only set that has all of them

Well you can always buy the crushers and o rings seperatly, will probably still total <16€

Why does no one else make a competitor to the Goldwing? And why does Honda not use the GL model to make a sport tourer to do naughty things with, to compete with Hayabusas?
Seriously, it's looking like I might use one of those two bikes when I grow old. Because there are so few bikes made to pound out hundreds of thousands of miles.

There is a Goldwing converted to a, as the seller no doubt invented, "Boldwing" on Craigslist somewhere. Also, the direct GW competitor is a Harley monstrosity. I think Yamaha and another Japanese vendor made a GW competitor in the 80s, but I'm not certain of their model names.

Not sure if you're still here, but depending on your insurer you'll get a discount upon completion. I wouldn't do it unless you can get it for free honestly. Either that or if you really suck at low speed stuff.

I cleaned the test up, it was pretty hilarious really. Low speed tests are pretty easy when you can do a figure eight in one car park.

Not sure if belongs in /sqt/ but can anyone identify this bike?

Dead grandpa bought it ages ago and its been sitting a year now. The VIN engraving on the frame is almost completely illegible (all i can make out is a section that says 10/9 or something) im guessing he bought a stolen bike.

After some googling I think it might be a Suzuki RM 80 but I'd like to know exactly what so I'll know what parts to buy. I can make out the words on the metal parts "550ml" and "82cm3" on the opposite side. sorry for shit quality

My solution for now is to just flip the visor up when I'm stopped, and when I get to speed I close it down again. Works for now, until I get a better helmet. I might just end up getting some MX goggles and a balaclava and call it good for cold/wet weather riding

Two solutions for visor fogging.
One is to get a soap lather over the visor and rinse it off. Both sides for the the best effect.
Another is to get several pieces of tape and use that to create a small gap for your visor. This was used by the guys riding the TT until science solved the problem.

Nah, I did that when I first bought the thing but I managed to put it back on 2 wheels. When I bought the bike, it wouldn't hold an idle. So when I went to test ride it, I was so focused on giving it enough throttle to stay alive that I just popped the clutch without thinking and I did a complete 90 degree "oh shit" wheelie in front of the seller down the road.
