Just dumped my gf cause she cheated on me several times
Now I get to ride my shitbike around and rev at qt's without feeling bad. Feels good to be single again
>>14211995
its a 2007 Yamaha XT660R. i only ride XTs since 2012 before that i had a shitty scooter. went from 600e to 660r. its probably the best bike for my city (athens, greece)
>never breaks down, just put gas in it and it will get you to your destination
>can handle horrible greek roads with bumps and holes everywhere if your ass can handle its seat/suspension

im considering changing it for a Fazer 600-S2 in the near future.
>>14212015
i wish i had nothing to do and that there was good weather and sun and shit so i could ride all day and take long trips and dont stay at home thinking about her :(

Would you like to be no-homo with me if I happen around there?

Not anytime soon tough.

she is pretty much ready to go to the TÜV( vehicle inspection sticker) I only need a "rote nummer" (license to ride on the street without TÜV) now to get the speedo adjusted (it is a self learning speedo, you need to drive 40kph and press a button)
>>14212156
University and gf take a lot of time.
Haven't been able to post a lot lately due to this.
>Will you come to SEM this time?
maybe, where is it located? Last time I hear something about it, the nürburgring was discussed
Postan bikes inna bike thread for winning powerball numbers...
>>14212142
sounds like a nice trip. if you come through greece id suggest the western way through ioannina -- agrinio - patra - athens instead of the main national salonica-athens road which is very dull. patra - athens road is a notorious deathtrap though.

KLR guy went off the cliff in road to Norway i think.
>>14212395
ayy
>>14212389
SEF fell off a cliff and drowned in Norway
Fkg was just sliding around and damaging his bike

this is the Lago di Resia in Italy it is a barrier lake and there was once a small town. The removed all ov the buildings except for the church tower as it was made only out of stone and therefore no harm for the water source.
It is a tourist attraction now. But I highly recommend going there in the late evening like after 7pm the sun is nicer then and there are less tourists.
>>14212383

I thought he fell off the cliff and they found his body at the bottom. It looked like he didn'tdie straight away as they said it looked like he was moving around due to the distirbed ground.
He died a slow painful death.

I was at the funeral and don't know about anything like that

This is the news regarding Axel's death. Sadly it's only available in Norwegian.
http://www.varden.no/nyheter/dod-mann-i-innsjo-var-mc-turist-fra-monaco-1.1442839
But yes fellas, he is really isn't around anymore.
>>14212385
I was actually planning on going to Norway with a Norwegian (f-f-for translation purposes of course) but she's too busy being with someone else now. I could take a Spanish gal with me now but tbqh I'd rather probably go on my own.
>>14212495
lol how the fuck did that broken piece of fireblade fairing end up on his bike?
i havent done a trip longer than 250 km away. is there anything i should know before i do my first small roadtrip like 1-2 days/1000km long ? should i have excessive knowledge of the internal machinery of my bike? or should i just service it and go? should i carry anything bike related with me ? because i dont have baggage on the bike or anything so ill only have a backpack.
>>14212501
>here too but we are probably using this time frame for our vaccation. Sorry guys I'm out.
too bad
are there many roads in the alps that are that low frequented so you can just stop on the road and take some pictures?
>>14212509
it was also somewhere down that hill where FKG crashed
SEF also took a headlight from that cbr and wanted to tape it to his klr
>>14212308
>>14212544
when was the last time you did an oil change? and depends on what you are doing? keep in mind, any thing more than an hour with a backpack on is shitty AF. I have this tossover bag that really helps a lot.
>>14212544
has your bike been reliable so far?
>yes
just service it if neccesary and go
>no
take all the usual stuff you need to fix or oil for toping up with you
> anything i should know
stop every once in a while, dont ride for longer that 2 hours stright, stay hydrated and you are good to go.
pack a second sweater, it is better to have something to pull over and not be cold. riding while beeing cold is miserable.
Try to strap your backpack to the bike, at least I really dislike backpacks while riding
>pic related
I just straped the backpack down on the rear seat with two straps
>>14212544
Tire plug kit
Hazard sign in case of crash (helmet cover versions take little space)
Toilet paper (!!!!!)
Water
Electrical tape
Small first aid kit
Basic bike toolkit
Make sure it's in good condition before the trip. Oil change if you want. Clean it, and clean the chain every 500 km or so. Maybe also bring some fuses and bulbs.
>>14212575

>>14212551
>are there many roads in the alps that are that low frequented so you can just stop on the road and take some pictures?
this picture was actually taken on the old closed down road of the Passo dello Stelvio you can sneek trough the barrier with a bike. The road there was still partly covered with snow there and isn't getting serviced anymore.
But besides that, with a bike you can stop pretty much everywhere and take a picture. not in the middle of open public roads though. But I guess in August is more traffic than in October when I went.
>>14212544

>>14212627
thanks man
>>14212564
>>14212574
>>14212575
yeah the bike is reliable its a yamaha after all.
didnt think the backpack was going to be such a huge problem. i used to have a top box on the bike but the fucker broke off when i drove over a bump on the road.
if you strap the backpack on the bike dont you have the anxiety of it falling down or a part of it getting tangled in the rear wheel or something?
destination is pic related btw
>>14212372
We're pretty much crossing half yurop to reach norway, so we can meet one way or another.
>>14212551
>are there many roads in the alps that are that low frequented so you can just stop on the road and take some pictures?
Yeah pretty much every single one, depending on the time.
>>14212269
Gee... for now I've contacted a few palces in north italy and the camps around lake bled,
they all told me to call back around march,
except for the main one that didn't answer at all.
I'm gonna try and contact them again mid february so we can start picking the spot.
>>14212292
>Did you at least hear of SWM?

>>14212654
thats beautiful
>falling down or a part of it getting tangled in the rear wheel
be sure to strap it with a proper tension belt. and not with a bungie cord. The later is in my opinion really critical safety wise.
>pic related
thats how I strapped down my backpack. Stayed on the bike without a problem and that even over very ruff road or no road at all. with the MT07
>>14212656
>SWM
thats a very interesting bike. looks promising
>>14212696
>proper tension belt
>pic
not sure If what I meant got lost in the translation
>>14212654
no, that is what zip ties are for lol. I agree with the other anon, if you can't find a bag or topcase, go for a duffel bag.
>>14212015
can you even use the front brake with the lever like that
>>14212696
>>14212709
bungie chords are fine unless they are old or damaged.

It's nice being able to have the cozy heated cabin, being able to actually carry cargo with me, as well as being able to drink liquids while I'm driving.
But it's just not the same as riding a motorcycle. It doesn't feel as "fun", I don't feel the thrill, and I don't feel as "connected" to the road as I do when I ride. I'm even driving a manual. Does anybody else feel this?
>>14212772
welcome to my life currently.
>>14212772
That's why its referred to as a "cage".
>>14212772
i cant imagine a single bikebro who wouldnt feel this way exactly
>>14212644
no problem
>>14212656
>Yeah pretty much every single one, depending on the time.
nice
>>14212772
you need to look for a different kind of feel when you are trying to pick a cage.
>>14212836
I got a Subaru Forester. It's probably the best option I could have made, AWD, lots of room inside (I'm like 6'3"), big windows to look out of, sunroof, etc.
I guess the next option would be getting one of those Jeeps with no windshield.
>>14212820
I can do different fun things in my cars than on my bikes
>>14212884
CAR SEX IS OVERRATED THERE I SAID IT
plus you can have bike sex if you have a center stand.

I meant like having two or more people sit comfortably while being sideways around corners and having mad bantz
>>14212889
>>14212896
you are just using the wrong cars
>>14212896
yes obviously anything not related to actual driving experience is better in a car. comfort, warmth, safety, passenger communication, music etc. but we love the bike when we are alone on it.

i literally just got rejected because of looks.
dont have money for surgery
what do?
>>14212971
You're saying that like looks aren't the major reason for rejecting someone.
>>14212983
they are but still
what do
>>14212971
get money.
tell us how it went though
>>14212971
are you hideously ugly?
do you have deep feelings for the girl?
if the answer to both questions is no, then you have absolutely no problem. just move on.
>>14212997
what i just really liked this woman for 3 months we talked a lot shes very cute couldnt help but like her told her she was like nah lad and i was like fair enough
>>14213005
i do have deep feelings for her though. i think about what i should do with her every night but truth is you cant force someone into liking you. i do feel some kind of compatibility with her though, we talk a lot, we hang out a lot, she just doesnt like me and it hurts a lot. and i cant be anything more than a 5/10 on a good day if i try really hard
>>14212944
I am comfortable with my body, it seems to work out alright so far.
and if you have that much issue, get a suburban or an explorer or some other large SUV
>>14213010
Move on, m8.
>>14213010
yeah i cant do that friends thing. no offense but what i think of guys befriending women is their mindset is "ill be the good friend so shell realise im the best guy for her and fall for me eventually" and thats beneath me. i dont believe there is friendship between man and woman unless there is no desire between them. i can be SOMEWHAT good friends with a girl i dont like but thats about it. girls probably think they can be besties with a guy theyre not attracted to but that doesnt work the other way around.
>>14213044
its hard to to be honest lad. ive only liked 5 girls in my life but this one i liked them all a lot but this one even more
>>14212971
>qt im keen on
>she always compliments my looks
>too cool to reply with anything other than "yea i know"
>each time she digs me more and more
im not that good looking but, you need to find a look that suits you and pull it off well.
>>14213010
>she was like nah lad
how you know it was because of your looks then? maybe she just aint into you bro, just how it is sometimes. doesnt help that you took so long to tell her whats up either, leave it that long and its less of a physical attraction thing and more of an emotional thing. if you two connect as friends just leave it at that.
>>14212506

>no offense but what i think of guys befriending women is their mindset is "ill be the good friend so shell realise im the best guy for her and fall for me eventually" and thats beneath me
Maybe true if you're a desperate beta. If you're something of an adult it's pretty easy to say "relationship isn't going to happen but she's still good fun so we'll stay mates". Bitches are just people like.
>You'll never see another gs500e in front of mountains picture again

But it's clearly curved, even in the picture.
How does anyone crash on a straight? Plenty of possibilities.
>>14213109
ive never had female friends. only females ive hung around with for a time are
a)friends of girlfriends
b)gfs of bros
c)relatives of bros
d)relatives
i also always go full attack mode when i meet a girl i like and thats got me in many good and many bad situations. the main bad thing is that you come off as an aggressive chad to shy girls you actually care about and they reject you on principle.
im trying to tone it down after the advice of a girl (psychologist, gf of a bro ofcourse) but it all comes down on how you want to see yourself.
>tl;dr never had female friends, dont believe in true man-woman friendship

Aite.
>>14212143
It's a 79 xl250s. I got the carb cleaned and tuned all good and it runs like a top.
And in response to the questions about my front brake, it works. But brakes only slow you down and that's the stupidest thing I ever heard of
>>14211873
Reposting something I read on /mu/ the other day, it really resonated with me:
you too eh
I just keep telling myself that it's the same predictable shit every time. there's literally nothing to do but feel bad until it passes. breakups happen, and happiness happens after the breakup, and it's inevitable. there's no rushing it, there's just a lot of contemplation and brooding and overthinking until suddenly you're okay again.
the best thing you can do is find a friend and vent your heart out. discuss every aspect, discuss what went wrong and how to avoid the things that hurt you with the next person you meet, and what was good about the relationship that made the whole thing worthwhile. relationships are incubators to grow and learn, she affected you in a meaningful way and you have evolved through her, hopefully for the better. she is a brush stroke on the benevolent watercolour that is you. think about her impact, and what you can do to allow that impact to make you a better person.
you will be okay.
I totalled my bike, and I'm looking for a new stunt bike. Can anybody identify this bike? I can't find any model/year that looks like this,
please help /o/

i need an engine recommendation
what would be the cheapest dirtbike/crotch rocket engine to buy that is relatively small (in size) but is capable of going 60 mph
it doesnt have to be super small, but the smaller the better
as you can tell i dont know shit about bikes
>>14214007
Lifan 125 off Ebay.
>>14214007
250cc will get you to 60 and cruise there without blowing up. Look at the WR250, TW200, DR200, KLX250, XL250s/r, XT225
These all sell pretty frequently on the used market for cheap
why is the cbr600 the most basic, boring looking sport bike ever? it looks like a first draft or something. not bad, not insulting, just 100% bland looks.
>>14214049
the F4i does look boring, but the 03-2012 RR on the other hand is one of the best looking middleweights out there.
>>14214049
Because its a Honda
Even as a sports bike it is designed and built as an appliance
>>14214007
90s dirtbike engine.
>>14214049
it's generally known as the most comfiest and least sportiest of the big 4.
I still like it though
>>14212696

>>14214035
>>14214029
thanks a lot, i will look into them
>>14213220
it's p sick. Be careful with these carbs though, took me 500$ to get mine mixed because it needed new gaskets and they only made it for one year. Apparently you can't make them either because they're mainly asbestos.

as a side question, can it do highway speeds safely?
we winter, boys.
>>14214110
>>14214118
They still make old aftermarket minuki carbs for about 150-200 for my bike, luckily.
Also it can cruise at about 50-55 happily, and 60 is manageable, but you gotta wind it way the fuck out to get up to like 75-80 and it wobbles pretty hard at anything past 65. You can manage highways on it, but not for super long. I stick to side/back roads when I can and only hop on the highways when absolutely necessary.

I crashed the xr650l my dad gave me 6 years ago, and I have been meaning to get into stunt riding, I'm not gonna be sorry if I don't know everything about stunt bikes
>>14214150
Sounds a lot like my 350 actually as far as speed goes.

i think that's all graphics. still looks like the most uninspired design.
>>14214080
the reliability is great. can't knock them for that. but something about hondas design just feels old school in a way. not old-looking, but old school thinking. idk how to describe it. my friends dad worked at honda as some kind of engineer, but for their cars. says they have some old rituals and habits. he didn't really elaborate. HRC feels this way too.

>>14214227
do they even sell those in the US?
>>14214196
Its the same thing that plagues the new NSX. Honda tries too hard to do everything good instead of a few things exceptionally well.
Not that it really matters. Unless you're racing professionally you'll be fairly hard-pressed to actually lose due to differences between the newer superbikes' performance on track, as a good rider could easily carry a CBR1000RR past a mediocre rider on an Aprilia RSV4.
Plus they're still probably faster than mine, and I do well enough.
>>14212696
i have that exact same jacket, but i'm quite fat so it fits questionably
>>14214233
pretty sure they will soon!
/Dbt/ why is the Cbr1000rr such such a shit bike? is it because Tadao Baba didnt desing it? or because it's shit?
>>14214308
I looked at it and it said EU markets only, but there's a husky dealer close by that sells the FE 501 S so I might check that out.
>>14214311
It hasn't been updated in years. It's still the easiest to handle though. I'm confident that you could hop on a CBR1000 and set a faster first lap than any other bike.

>>14214311
In what terms is it a shit bike? Power? Yea it's lacking compared to Turbo Busas and S1000RRs. Handling? Yea it isn't as nice as new R1s, but the fireblade is overall a good bike, it's just everyone wants to have the "biggest, fastest" bike, thus it gets overshadowed by other bikes.
>>14214401
what bike is this?
>kit kat is back
ill wait for the next thread
>>14214461
he's just butthurt he bought a R6 instead of a beautiful fireblade. Full on buyers remose.
>>14214469
I mean, I guess you can always buy a fireblade after selling a R6, iirc R6 are godtier for tracking if you convert them, and fireblades are Kings in terms of livability/reliability.
>>14214469
R6 is better than a shit Fireblade.

I was doing a pretty gnarly hill climb with rocks at the top and bottom, but when I hit the rocks on top it seized because I guess I didn't rebuild it when I should have (I don't fucking know, it's a 2008 with a lot of hours) and I'm not quite tall enough to flat-foot it. So I fell, and the bike went 100+ feet down hill ass over tea kettle. It was spewing oil, and gas. Handlebar broke off, swing arm broke also. Parts are expensive as fuck.

>>14214520
do you still have stock lighting on your EXC?
>>14214569
Yep, bought a fuck load of XML LED thing but never got around to throwing them on, still need to do that.
Actually, I rewound the coil, forgot about that.
Trailtech regulator as well.
Still the stock head light though.
Can anybody recommend a good 2 stroke? I'm ready to make the jump and move from a four stroke to a 2 stroke. Preferably something I can use for enduro. Pic not related, my 12 y/o cousin's 2016 yz85
How do I leverage my bike to get laid?
>>14214537
>buying a duc
>can't even ride it
nice
>>14214590
Did the rewound coil or aftermarket regulator make any difference with the stock light? And are you running the stock bulb an everything? I just bought a 2004 EXC with the stock headlight with an LED bulb. It's pathetic and I can't see shit, so I want to see if I can get street-worthy lighting without going to an aftermarket 12VDC electrical system for gud headlight compatibility.
>>14214630
>I just bought a 2004 EXC with the stock headlight with an LED bulb
lol get rid of that and put a silverstar or similar bulb in there, LEDs don't work for shit in a stock housing.
It didn't make any difference in brightness rewinding the stator, the voltage regulator will always keep the voltage at the same 13v or whatever it is.
The only difference is I can use the head light with the bike off now since it's a full DC system.
>>14214234
>not fi
>no full digital panel
what year is this mv?
>>14214669
2006.
>not FI
No, it's fuel injected. the choke is just a little cheater deal that locks the throttle open a tiny bit. The 2nd cable there adjusts it. Factory spec is just below 2.5K rpm.
Gonna repaint it and get some Marchesini M10Rs for it, then maybe a digital gauge so I can have my gear indicator back, some mirror-blockoff plates with turn signals in them and a rearview camera because fuck the stock mirrors.
>>14214598
yeah dont buy a ducati or any italian bike. My side fairings, rear cowl, and battery just mysteriously disappeared...what a unreliable bike.
>>14214692
i saw the choke and thought it was carb.
>>14214751
Nah. I honestly don't even know what it's there for.

>>14214642
>since it's a full DC system.
That's the main thing I wanted to know when I asked if it was stock lol. I don't know if I need to go DC or not.
But anyway are you saying the stock housing and AC lighting circuit should be plenty for night riding, as long as I have a good bulb in there?
>>14214810
I figured it out. Super easy, just delete www. and replace it with a m. Then simply just right click save as on the mobile version.
>>14214899
>But anyway are you saying the stock housing and AC lighting circuit should be plenty for night riding, as long as I have a good bulb in there?
Yeah, it worked fine for me.
The only reason I rewound is because I wanted LED lighting and extra power for grip warmers and a radiator fan.
>>14214935
OK. Yours wasn't the factory street legal version was it?
>>14215008
>OK. Yours wasn't the factory street legal version was it?
I don't even know, I thought all 525EXCs were street legal?
They came with lighting and shit, the title said enduro which means it can be plated without anything done and no inspection.
(it is plated)

don't put her on the pedestal bro. I know what it feels like to be unable to make somebody like you, my girlfriend of 3 years recently broke up with me because she 'lost interest'. It never gets any easier, you just have to pretend that the rest of your life won't be as shit as you think it will
>>14215036
What year is it? Most EXCs were not street legal from the factory until like 2008 or something. The thing is KTM didn't write off-road-only all over the certificate of origin so lots of them got registered no problem. If it came with AC lighting then it probably wasn't street legal from the factory (some law requires lights to be usable without engine running).
AFAIK all factory street legal bikes will say MC on the title, not enduro.
>>14215098
>(some law requires lights to be usable without engine running).
That depends on the state, my state doesn't require lights to be on when the engine is off.
It's a 2003.
Does anybody have the bike buying guide image that I see get posted here sometimes?
>>14215042
>auto suicide
Fucking retard, please kill yourself.
>>14215112
I can tell you with high probability that it wasn't factory street legal.
It may have left the dealership with a plate but none of those EXCs from that time period were meant to be used on American roads.
>>14215169
>I can tell you with high probability that it wasn't factory street legal.
ok i guess?
the title said enduro on it.
