If I'm in the fast lane, and there's a car going 65, and there's cars between us that get over and pass in the right lane, and everyone in the right lane is passing anyways because the car in the right refuses to go faster than the speed limit, who would technically be in the wrong? The passers for going faster and passing in the right lane? Or the car impeding the flow of traffic because of MUH SPEED LIMITS?

>>14901517
that is not bad form in motogymkhana at all, when the emphasis is on quick direction changes rather than ultimate cornerspeed the body must remain static while the bike moves underneath, wasting as little precious momentum as possible on moving your big ugly body.
These guys could all ride hanging off if they want to.

What gave you that idea?
He can look like a big fat attention whore all day long if he wants to, I was just pointing out how he looks like a big fat attention whore.
Harley Davidson has always been a manufacturer of trash. They use a 180 degree crank to produce a sound, the sound of a controlled and repetitive misfire. The result is wasted compression, wasted displacement, wasted everything. Thats why a stock 1100cc Vtwin from Harley will make 48 horse, and a single 652cc from BMW or a 670cc parallel twin from Honda will put out the same power while getting 70mpg. But none of that actually matters. Harley bikes aren't built to be fast, they aren't built to handle well, they aren't build to do anything actually. They're built to have a certain image. They want to sell an idea of a motorcycle lifestyle to 50 year old guys who will ride a couple weekends a year, buy a branded leather vest, chaps, then store it in the garage and never touch it again.
Major components on Harley bikes are sourced from shitholes in the middle east, and the company has actively been trying to hide it for years. Their American image is nothing but marketing spin. They have always had an issue with throwing valves, leaking oil, pumps burning out, scored cylinder walls, and etc. Why? Because their modus operandi is to be as cheap as humanly possible. They do this because they know the average customer is a two weekend per year rider, they have no reason to maintain any quality standards when their bikes aren't actually being ridden.
Indian as a company is dead, only recently resurrected, and they never built any sport bikes. Victory is nothing but a drop in the bucket who never even remotely competed with the larger manufacturers.
No American motorcycle manufacturer has succeeded in doing anything but slapping together shitheap cruisers that appeal to leather vest worshiping faggots.
Kill yourself, nobike scum.
>>14901567
look at the way his shoulder is pulled forward though. I'm pretty sure he was holding the bike up with his leg.

So, when is your "I almost died" video, where you park your bike underneath a semi?
>>14901567
smotos do it because its easier to get a bike sideways with that postion, you easily have twice as much control over the bike, the downside is its much easier to highside

I was writing an in depth review on riding with the shure se215 as plugs but the page reloaded by mistake and I don't feel like retyping everything.
Tl,dr: earplugs are not worth it.
>>14901638
I love all anons the same, no matter how retarded and annoying they can be.
>>14901480
Depends on the state.
Ohio, there really isn't anything that prohibits you from riding in the left lane. No real laws, as far as I know
>>14901587
how do you do this photo?

What the fuck good is that going to do you?
use proper earplugs that actally go inside your ears and block out noise.

They would be even worse.
>>14901674
My proper ones block ~20DB
>>14901687
I might be useful for people who want to hear their surroundings too.
>>14901697
How would they be worse?
they are soft foam that you squish, slide in your ear in a sexual manner then you wait for it to expand, and possibly get an erection from the feeling.

>>14901712
The shure use the same material, and my point was that they isolate too much noise while giving very little benefit.
I have a cheap hjc fg-15 and never felt like the noise was a problem, with those on I didn't hear a scooter that almost crashed into me while filtering.
>>14901724
Hi
>>14901724
morning
>>14901724
Good afternoon!
>>14901735
To be honest i agree, earplugs are not needed if you have at least a half decent helmet, i bought a cheap helmet for shits and gigs and there is easily 5 times as much wind noise compared to my fg-17
>>14901737
>>14901740
>>14901744
Hows your guys' day going?

>>14901753
Fine, relaxing after a week of hard work were nothing went right, like usual.
>>14901749
Hjc makes surprisingly good helmet for the prices,
I wanted to try a schuberth to compare the noise isolation since I really have nothing to compare them to but apparently they just have a better wind curtain at the bottom.
>>14901763

According to some people it isn't. A co-worker of mine like that, but he gets fired for a reason.

This is true, can afford about 3 trips to the touge over getting drunk.
>>14901868
A bottle of vodka is possible thousands of wheelies
>>14901848
>>14901868
A single trip costs me €30 at least, why is your alcohol so expensive?
>>14901891
fancy beer and wine
>>14901891
cost me about $15 to do 300km, why is your bike so thirsty?
>>14901852
I still think we need one to hit the blue ridge Parkway
>>14901896
I can get a lot of fancy beer for €30
>>14901899
Well, I pay around €1,40 a litre.
Don't know why it likes to drink that much.
>>14901903
the three sisters in san antonio is another that i'd like to hit, not simply because it's in texas, but because it gets a lot of good reviews.

>ABS on a sumo
>>14901940
>98
Is that the same as the European 98? Because I use 95, 98 would be around ~1,60 I guess.
>>14901943
dont worry the light means its switched off
>>14901949
yeah same as euro 98
>>14901941
no, that's not a trail tech dashboard. However Beta uses the Trail Tech Voyager as original equipment in their dual sports.
>>14901848
>getting drunk is more expensive than a trip to the touge
Dayum son.
I can buy cheapshit 35cl can of beers for 21 eurocents here. 50 cents for branded regular stuff.
I can get drunk for 1€. Or 2€ for okay beer.
But I don't drink regularly these days and have become a total lightweight
Is it illegal to turn off ABS for road use when a vehicle comes standard with it?
>>14901964
Nigger what the fuck did you just ask
>>14901961
beta are the only pasta eaters I don't hate.
I guess TM too.
>>14901962
Well there is your problem, i normally drink a 700ml bottle of 40% or 15-20 5% beers
>>14901964
not yet
>>14901978
when a vehicle comes with safety features like traction control and ABS, can you legally drive on the road with them turned off?
>12 hours/813 miles to tail of the dragon
this isn't that bad. i will need new tires though before I start :)
>>14901962
I'll be honest I just don't like being drunk that much.
It's always fun for like an hour or two then the novelty wears off and I'm just stuck around a bunch of drunk people no longer enjoying it.
>>14901982
And he is the one with a problem
>>14901986
Yes. Just like how you can drive without traction control whenever you want.
>>14901997
>traction control
More like death control, that shit lets your wheels spin then cuts your throttle, good way to do a 360.

didn't realize that's what that was. carry on.
>>14902309
dual-sport, adventure, or cruiser. sportbikes will have you twisted up like a pretzel. upper body ergos are manageable no matter what, but if you're riding for any amount of time at all you're going to want your legs to be as straight and uncramped as possible because that shit gets miserable.

wat? I',m serious. Every super sport I've had has been a shitbike. I've also owned quit a few dirtbikes in my day. I literally just bought a super duke last week . Every other shitbike super sport I've owned had stupid loud pipes so i wasn't worried about visibility. I like the quieter ride on the duke. So what is the word on the street when it comes to lighting up your street bike.

Here you go m8, incontrovertible evidence you're a faggot, now go forth and let mildly incremental conditions constrain you no longer.
FREE TIPS: Riding in the wet is perfectly safe and thousands of normal, functioning humans manage every day. I'm sure you can too, but bear in mind always to double braking distance, meaning you should be able to count four seconds between the vehicle ahead passing a streetlight before you do. That's four, the same as the amount of fingers on your hand minus the thumb, if you get confused.
The front brake, assuming your 2-ton bumper sticker and crash bar laden 1500cc v-twin that actually makes 40bhp has one, should be engaged slowly, prepared for a potential slip, but otherwise brake as normal. IE, the every thirty seconds you come to a red light denoting a turn you would be unable to handle in flowing traffic you might encounter in godless, communist lands whose ass you saved in WW2. I recommend you clap to pass the time, as you aren't trusted to filter forward even if you could somehow fit your 300lb self and Goldwing between the bumper to bumper stacked Hummers and minivans occupying all three lanes.
This conveniently renders my next piece of advice irrelevant, but for completion's sake I'll proceed and inform you to take bends easier than you would, should you ever encounter this terrifying motoring concept.
It's not even cold or unpleasant if you swap out the leather vest and headband for practical safety gear.

>if they dont see the headlight coming theres not much chance their going to catch the reflective tape.
They're not going to see a glow light either
>I live in a pretty rural area, so my biggest concern is deer and wildlife jumping out at me.
Startled deers start running in a random direction, I had one running toward my car in full day. It's not a matter of visibility

This winter was a complete pisstake, almost three solid months of 80mph winds and torrential rain. I counted about five days the road even got a chance to dry out. Even for us that's unreal.

Acid works pretty well. Just get some milkstone remover from a farm supply place or some where similar. Just fill the tank, and leave it there for a day or two. I used it diluted ~1:4

i mean i ride rain and shine too since i only own a bike but i don't really begrudge people who don't. riding in the rain adds danger to an already inherently dangerous activity and requires a greater skillset. i think it's probably better that people who aren't comfortable riding in inclement weather either stay home or take alternative modes of transportation. i agree that if you're serious about riding it's a skill you're going to have to develop though.

Cars actually part ways here to let you though.

I really wish lanesplitting and filtering were legal everywhere in the US.
