how unfortunate
>>14974617
I didn't know this was a /k/ meetup!
>>14974625
but you're not in ohio anymore?
>>14974627
I was thinking of taking everyone down Moonshiner 28, that dips into northern georgia, which i hear is heavenly
>>14974601
ignore whatever that book says. first take this route one way. upon arrival, go in any direction (remember to return so you can do it all over again!). next step is glorious enjoyment

it's all interstate, though
>>14974641
>no one wants to ride cross- contry
no one can, really. the nature of this board is that most of us have jobs and/or are in school and can't go putting around the country on a whim.
>>14974641
>fuck that, that's why we can't have one big country-wide meet, no one wants to ride cross- contry
Nevermind that half a million people ride cross country to gather in a town in the middle of bumfuck South Dakota every year.
>>14974654

those of us that actually have bikes, at least.
>>14974663
>mfw no job ever but cool bikes
>>14974671
we can't all have trust funds.
>>14974654
exactly. the SEM has it nice because everyone can make it it a reasonable distance. Atlanta to San Jose is roughly the same distance as Madrid, Spain to Helsinki, Sweden. Hell, it's closer for someone in Madrid to drive to fucking Moscow than someone in Maine to drive to San Jose
>>14974657
this is 4chan.
>>14974663
some of us have good jobs that allow us some time to go riding for somewhat extended periods.
granted even that is fairly limited by adv timelines
what size power band do you guys normally run on your bikes? I normally run the 5500.
>>14974699
I installed a purple powerbang last week and my bike rips now. Would recommend.
>>14974699

Back to school with you.
>>14974680
>>14974714
Helsinki is in Finland. I only know this becuase multiple random (hot as fuck) women from Helsinki have liked my OKCupid profile, even though my distance is set to 100mi.
>they weren't even bots like wtf
>>14974768
are you neet?
>>14974768
>>14974755
To be fair, Finland was part of Sweden for most of its history.
>>14974637
Ayy if anyone comes through Memphis let me know.
>>14974776
Nope.
>>14974780
The number of people that know that is a thousand times smaller than the number of people that have heard of Helsinki, in the US.
>>14974797
I thought you got all depressed tho because that one place fired you for being slow at writing programs?
>>14974587

>>14974648
>tfw I can't even remember the last time I saw snow.
>>14974680
M8, it's a three day ride down to the local shops for a sausage roll.
Rains have started. I guess my bike will be perpetually dirty for the next few months.
>>14974768
If I get rich I wanna move to Finland. All the good parts of Sweden (incl. hot blonde chicks and beautiful nature) but replace *tolerance* and ~correctness~ with redneck mentality and alcoholism. Also racism so no holahola snackbars. Also the promised land of metal music. Better than Nebraska at least.
>>14974809
I got fired because I was already depressed m8, but that was almost a year ago and life is pretty good again. What does that have to do with me not being a NEET?
>>14974823
But cold.
>>14974839
I'll just cuddle up with my alcoholic blonde babe and watch the northern lights while slowly slipping into depression. Isn't that what they do?

>Hey old cbr guy, did you ork up to that R1 from a 600?
Nah. I had the CBR250RR for years and riding is my job. I had to do a bunch of defensive driving stuff for work as well.
I don't find 600s and 1000s that alike either. The instant-power thing is just too good for everyday riding. I'd probably prefer a 600 for the track though.
>>14974873

That's what I do and I'm not even finnish :^)

I started riding one month ago today, and I have empirical evidence that my dick is now 15% larger. Someone explain this.

Suck dicks. I ride a cruiser.
>>14974928
Oh I figured it was students or something. Fuck em then.
>>14974948
I've read that the northern parts are comfy.
Rather than worrying about how to lift my bike with a floor jack to remove the forks, would it be easier to just lay it on the side and get it done that way?
>>14974974
No, you aren't supposed to lay bikes down
>>14974974
You're going to have to keep the bike propped up on its farings like that, way too easy to fuck something up.
Just get a stack of books and a couple 2x4s if you're that desperate.
>>14974974
what kind of bike?
bottle jack and a few pieces of wood on the triple tree works well.
>>14974974
just use hunks of wood
you'll fuck your bike up laying it down
>>14974974
Gunna leak gas out of the gas cap/carb if the tank is still on and might get some oil in the cylinder but that'll burn off when you start it up next. Also gunna scratch your fairings if you have them unless you have a spare mattress laying around/do it in the grass.
>>14974974
Use a 5gal bucket or a milk crate. Sheesh. You want to keep everything in alignment.
>>14974974
laying it down will likely make it hard to get to the fork clamp bolts and other shit so it will be a pain to take them out. Also your bars will probably contact the ground making it hard to move them around.
>>14974974
Do a willy until the forks are out.
>>14974755
Kek, I fucked that up. I was even looking at the map when I wrote that
Alright dudes, I did some anal-yzation of my buell gasket problem (pic related). Idk wtf is going so if any of you goyim are mechanic please halp.
Many Picto: ---http://imgur.com/a/wvX5T---
So it's dripping from a bolt on the head and from the beginning of the exhaust, mostly the exhaust. After it warms up the exhaust area drip starts smoking a good amount, easily visible, like exhaust in winter. a similar smoke but much less in volume comes from where the headers go into the rest, on the header side of that silver clipband thing.
Technical terms for everything since not my bike, just senpai bike, also not many experience.
Is it most likely internal gasket? Is bike deders?
>>14975095
>http://imgur.com/a/wvX5T
I'm about 95% sure that bolt is just a hard engine mount, and so can not be the source of the leak. It has to be coming from somewhere else and running down to there. I supposed it's possible that's a banjo bolt and used for oil routing around the head but that'd be full retard.
I wouldn't give a single fuck about that exhaust leak, but if it bothers you that much you can try re-seating the muffler pipe on the header and/or tightening the clamp. Wrap that shit with header wrap too mang.
I'm going to be buying a bike within the next month. The only thing is that I live in Satan's vacation home where the temps will be 100+ in June. How do you deal with the hot temp? I've seen the cooling vest, but I want to ride to work and they look like they'll soak you. What do you do?
where to watch bakuon?
>>14975184
There is an entire board for this. I shouldn't spoonfeed you but I'm drunk, so here:

https://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=800027
Use MPC-HC, VLC, or whatever meme media player is popular right now to watch it. I'm pretty sure its 8bit, but on the off chance that its 10bit I'm not helping you install madvr.
Consider this your one and only pass.

>>14975213
No joke, I'd trade places with you in a second. The one thing I never wanted to do in life is work an office job, and I ended up in an office, albeit the office at a metal shop. I'm sitting behind a desk doing AutoCAD work all day.
Has anybody seen this thing? why not try to fit it into a motorcycle.

Afternoon guys, whats new?
>>14975227
I used do hardware dispatch and handle all the RMA paperwork on a national level for an ISP. I was the point of contact for our suppliers as well. Office jobs are awful.
Honestly I just wanted to focus more on music and the opportunity arose to work about half the hours, make slightly less money and have a lot more time to myself.
>>14975238
i need to strip my bike down to clean this shit out
>>14975167
With the bolt on the head (main pic related) I examined it thoroughly because I also thought it can't be coming from there, but there is no drip down to it, and it is above the main leak (Background golden area pic related).
>>14975237
Because you don't have the money or skills, but someone better than you in every way will.
>>14975308
>background golden area
I meant the gross looking bolt positioned right above those fins in that image. There's some gunk and it's clearly burnting. Is there supposed to be oil at the start of the header pipe?
>>14975249
>Office jobs are awful.
Tell me about it. I used to think dealing with the wind while riding was awful. Now I look out the window and wish I could feel it.
I don't know all the ins and outs of your job, and even though you're riding a little scoot, from where I'm standing that seems like a pretty nice way to make it through life.
>>14975316
Sounds like your projecting friend? Something wrong in your life :^)
>>14975320
No. Take it off see if there is oil inside
>>14975211
I don't like that condescending tone there, son
>>14975237
Forgot pic, 400 fucking horsepower and 88 pounds.
So, how do I wash my bike
>>14975346
wet wipes
>tfw new job won't let me go to SAM

How am I supposed to come back here and see all the dank webms and pictures I could have been a part of
>>14975327
>I don't know all the ins and outs of your job, and even though you're riding a little scoot, from where I'm standing that seems like a pretty nice way to make it through life.
The only real issue is whether it's a thunderstorm or 115F outside you've got to be out there. Also junk mail delivery sucks ass.
The bikes themselves are pretty fun to ride. My route is mainly off road.
>>14974948
nigga pls, NZ is beautiful.
>Cold
sure, if you're a pussy. It doesn't even snow in most places, ever.
>Fog
Haven't really ever thought this was common.
Maybe in upper hutt in autumn it could be pretty regular, but its cool looking and spoopy
>rain
It rains everywhere dude.
The main problem with NZ is our shitty roads.
>Potholes, potholes everywhere!
>>14975265
Just ride it through a carwash.
>>14975355
pls is real question
>>14975406
it doesnt wash off without a scrub, and the stuff on the engine, exhaust needs a lot more work
>>14975346
>>14975407
Just spray it off with a hose. Take it to a self car wash and spray it down with the power sprayer. Use a soft brush to get into any nooks and crannies. Its paint and chrome just like any car is, it can handle getting wet.
Try not to waterlog your seat though.
>>14973984
wheelies are scary, the joy comes from working through the fear to get the meaty new skillset.
If something scares you and you don't like doing it, isn't that all the more reason to practice it? To turn your weakness into a strength?
>>14975425
>Try not to waterlog your seat though.
Or carbs if you have em.
>>14975428
but willies arent scary

I'm looking forward to winter riding this year. My bike sits at about 80-100C and the heat radiates up. It was a bit much in Summer but it should be lovely in Winter.
Up until now I've had to deal with an early 90s carbed engine and living in an area that is elevated and cooler than anywhere else in this city.
>>14975479

>the air is so dense and crisp that my exhaust sounded like my bike made 20bhp more than it actually does
Some nights, its like riding through a dream. I need to buy a decent camera to record some footage so I can look back on it when I'm old and senile. I remember being stopped at some random intersection, it was maybe 30 degrees outside, and the snow had just started falling. It was big fluffy flakes, and the sky looked so black. It was almost as if it was snowing pure gold the way it was being illuminated by that calming pinkish yellow glow of the cycling street light as it was warming up. I'll never forget that feeling of looking up and watching the snow flakes melt on my visor. It felt like I was the only human alive right then. That entire night belonged to me and no one else.
Thats the kind of feeling I'd want to remember before I died.
>>14975493
>>14975467
I don't mind it riding in winter but most scenic places look nicer on a sunny day. I also don't like what constant rain and road salt do to my bike.
>>14975471

I had one, back in the day... What a sweet bike. KHI had finally solved all the problems with the H1. Good handling, decent powah, Even the single disk was O.K. I miss that bike.
Fuck am i in a bad mood.......
Just bought $15 phone credit... Apparently telstra changed my plan so if i recharge $15 is puts 1mb of internet data on the phone...
They wouldnt let me refund it either, telstra wont cancel the shit either...
Fuck im over being poor.... $15 should not make me want to literally kill people.
random question
Why are Harley/Buell clutch levers SO HARD to pull?
MSF DR200 was totally fine.
>>14975572

>>14975669
>being relegated to roads
>>14975730
Take it like you're riding an entirely different bike, you are now 100+ pounds heavier and with a much worse center of gravity and balance. Take everything slow because nothing will react how you're used to.
>>14975727
Your red frame gives me sexual feelings

Mine'll loop out at 7k and lift off in 2nd.
I really wanna see this bike now. Fuck I can't wait to get my parts.
>>14975730
Tell her to lean with you into the corners, thats about it.
Really awkward if they don't lean with you, but if they do you won't even notice they are there.
>>14975685
Bro isn't brother you illiterate negro
>>14975730
>>14975744
As far as leaning with you, most grills are scared to do it so it'll fuck shit up. If she doesn't like to lean with you, tell her to keep her head on whatever side you're turning to. Then she'll basically be forced to lean.
>>14975735
>being cucked off of roads
>>14975730
You've got more weight leaning off of the bike when ever you corner hard. She may not move with you, she might tense up if you take a turn to sharp, or accelerate too hard.
Basically, every non rider female is a fucking idiot. Corner slow and give her a couple small blips of throttle on a straight. Just a tiny bit to take some wright off of your front shock, but keep the wheel on the ground. Thats all it takes to get her heart racing, and her panties sopping wet. Right after her ass leaves the seat it'll be on your fact.
>>14975742
It actually power wheelies all over the rev range, especially little ones at low revs, but this one actually approached the balance point, it was crazy high.
>>14975742
No it won't

>>14975748
Most girls i have had on the back just do it without realising they are, in saying that you can always be kind and go slower around corners so you don't have to lean off the bike, remember you have someone elses life in your hands.

>>14975730
i've done it a couple times and decided to never do it again. the responsibility you take on when you allow someone on the back of your bike is magnified tenfold than just driving them around and i could never come to terms with it. also, it fucks up the handling and weight distribution of your bike and it's just not fun.

kkk how did you develop such fucking awful taste? it's almost impressive
>>14975776
It feels incredibly light, it's like I just look at the exit and it tracks right for it, i hit Bluff road a few times because it's so close, but it's my first sport bike and it's on Diablo Corsas so i'm taking it a little slow. Yea i'm in this shithole they call the 'ville (seriously, people call it that.)
>>14975787
i don't actually have any, havent taped my phone to my helmet for ages, thinking ill buy a gopro now that ive got the 300 going again though, hero 3's are fucking cheap now.

She's a tiny asian chick so it should be fine
>>14975794
This is what I'm afraid of. I've gotten comfortable riding on my own, but I'm just so uncertain about how a passenger affects how the bike rides that I'm worried something awful will happen. We're getting her a full set of reasonably priced gear, but still it worries me.
Why the fuck does this chick want to hang out with me of all people on the back of my Seca II of all bikes

You can trust those a lot more than you're probably giving credit. I shaved a fuckload of my toe slider off going up the switchback on my MV a little bit after I got it on the shitty pilot roads. That thing is probably a million times less topheavy feeling though.

I was accepted and my honda postie training thing is booked for thursday after next.
Are we actually hired by Auspost? or is it an independent delivery agency
>>14975847
My bike runs. I win automatically nigger
>>14975847
I'm just worried about them because it's been cold plus the tooj is so close I don't think they have time to warm up before I get there, and i've always heard how bad they are when cold. I'm sure once it actually gets warm and I learn the limits i'll hit it a lot harder.

Need a new bike. Old 250 is dying and before I lay her to rest I'd like to upgrade. Looking at: http://cnj.craigslist.org/mcy/5567893746.html

Congratulations. Don't fail HART or they'll offer you Call Centre job instead.
>Are we actually hired by Auspost? or is it an independent delivery agency
Depends where you are. If you aren't out in the sticks your an Australian Post contractor. If you do twelve months consecutive work (four three month contracts or a six month and two threes) you become a permanent employee.
The training is pretty easy. Only bit people tend to struggle with is the right hand U-Turn. You have to do it in a meter or so.
>>14975901
I miss fucking ur mum every night cunt
You should call more btw
>>14975920
Don't you mean she fucked you?
Last i heard she was into some kinky shit that rhymes with legging.
>>14975963
Kegging isn't a sexual activity anon
>>14975968
Anythings sexual if you're kinky enough.
>>14975917
A metre sounds pretty tight, but from my brief experience on a ct110 it is probably very easy. Do I get multiple attempts?
>bought bike over a month and a half ago
>lazy ass DMV just now sends me my plates
kind of a mixed blessing really, i was getting used to being able to blow red lights at will. going to be nice to get that fucking dealer plate off though. i hate being a walking advertisement for someone.
>>14975968
Pegging is though
>>14975898
>Old 250 is dying
You can bring her back to life, Anonymous-kun!
Ganbattte!
>>14975982
>but from my brief experience on a ct110 it is probably very easy.
You won't be using a CT110. The training is done with NBC110s.
Main thing to remember is the NBC gearing is taller, so give it a bit more revs than you would a CT and drag the rear brake. You'll pretty much never turn like that again after training, most of us plant our foot on the ground and pivot the bike on that. Can do MUCH sharper turns that way.
Also never short shift into second or take off in second on an NBC110. You'll destroy the clutch.
If the bike randomly cuts out and won't start (they have EFI problems) push it into neutral roll forward a bit then slam it into first. It'll start up easy again. You're meant to use the kickstart, but AusPost took them off most of them because people use them to jam the transmission on hills for weirdly placed letter boxes.
>Do I get multiple attempts?
If I recall you get four and you have to make three.
>>14976034
>120
How much wishful thinking does it need to reach it?
>>14976069
With a downhill, a strong wind up your arse and the clutch in is my guess
>>14975820
If you werent such a faggot I'd post you my unused one.
>>14976069
It's doable if you don't weigh a lot. It's a 9hp bike that weighs about 90kg. I've hit 110 on mine.
I wouldn't want to go any faster on it though, it's not stable at speed at all.
Mine seems to have a bit more go than most of the ones at the depot though. Only one that'll go 80kph up the hill out of the place with a full load of mail.

Is that a stationary turn?
Do you like the NBC better or worse than the CT

Prepare for disappointment. Especially in July.
>>14976123
They don't have clutch levers.
>>14976124
>Is that a stationary turn?
From memory you do a 15 meter ride in a straight line where you need to be going slower than the instructor walking, then at the end of that you do the U-Turn. So it's all one motion.
It's hilariously easy just don't stress over it and remember to turn your head and look where you want to go, etc. I was only halfway down the path when the instructor got to the end haha. With the centrifugal clutch you can pretty much just hold the revs up and ride the rear brake.

Yeah this is not a useful practice test.
>>14976195
Do all your checks with the bike on the center stand (you'll instantly fail an audit if you don't do this) and when you have to do the emergency braking stuff, remember that the brakes are absolutely terrible.
When you do the group ride watch that the person behind you doesn't fall behind. You'll get shit on if you don't keep an eye on them. The way they see it is the person in front of you watches you, you watch the person behind you, etc.
Oh, it's worth checking the spokes aren't broken. It happens and the wheel can egg.
Also, HART is considered advanced training and some insurance companies will give you a discount after you become a postie. Worth asking.
If your classroom trainer is a guy called Kevin make sure you overcomplicate anything tech related. He barely understands the stuff and doesn't really know how to handle it.
Don't mention speeding, read and ride, or mega banding during training. Everyone does it and your boss will probably explain the first two but it looks bad in training...
>>14976231
They should really just make the tail of the dragon a toll road with a heavy fee that's closed off to non-performance vehicles.
Let the RVs and other shitheads find a different route.

>>14976252
I would've done the MOST on a CT were it not classified as a scooter in the ACT. Emergency stopping shouldn't be any trouble.
I assume they'll run us through all the bike checks beforehand, correct?
I've never heard of mega banding before.
>>14976271
they feed us? neat.
Subura pulls across the lane and stops side on in my lane, What retards have you seen today anon?
>>14976280
>Emergency stopping shouldn't be any trouble.
Yeah it's easy once you get a hang of the brakes being crap.
>I assume they'll run us through all the bike checks beforehand, correct?
Yeah of course but you don't want to be the guy who starts doing it on the side stand and gets bitched out.
Oh for insurance reasons you aren't allowed to adjust your own brakes without the basic mechanics training. Don't ask, I don't know.
>I've never heard of mega banding before.
We're not allowed to do it. It's when you put a band around every houses mail so you don't have to count out the letters at each point. I only tend to do it if one place has 10+ letters on a day. When I was in a regional area for a bit EVERYONE banded every house since there was no auditing.
>they feed us? neat.
On the classroom days they should yeah. They won't on the bike day.

It was a brotruck so he was probably just retarded but I really don't get what he was doing, I guess 5 over the limit isn't enough for him? I thought about pinning it and watching him disappear but it didn't seem worth it.
