Maybe if he had owned up to it and recognized it was target fixation. If you put CruzinMoto on a bike in an empty lot with a sign post in the middle of it he'd find a way to run into the sign post.

>>14985669
That's ok. You'll find that very few people park parallel to eachother. You can lean your bike to compensate for mirror position as you pass by each car. And if it doesn't look like you can fit, you probably can't (and can filter on the other side of the car).
>>14985779
This. The 40% spike in head injuries in Michigan after getting rid of mandatory helmets is a shining example.
>>14985773
Looks like a pretty light load. Did you take much in the way of a tool kit?
First session on this bike and holy fuck do I look slow. Don't worry I was actually slow as well.

i took two vacations instead of buying a new bike this year and I regret it immensely.
I could have gotten a ZX-12.
How many times can you slam down a wheelie before fucking your fork seals? Does it depend on the type of bike? Because I'm bad at this.
>>14985892
>>14985896

only a small bag with very basic tools
I lent one tool to these guys under the bridge, I didn't have to use them myself luckily
I just remembered that I actually needed one screwdriver, on my way back my speedo stopped working because some part at the transmission got loose
>>14985920
Well, you'd expect a bike designed for continuous compression/decompression of the suspension should last a while, but I would expect a fork seal/oil change soon, if it's been used as such since 08. My ninja 500r lasted 13 years before I needed to change them, and they only leaked a little before I sold it. It's just a street bike.
If I started moovlogging, would you watch my videos? Would be entirely tight, twisty roads at night. No engine noises, just my breathing amplified.
>>14985932

>>14985525
The 30lt bag I had last year.
I'm considering if I want a backpack or not, also tempted to get either sidebags or a tankbag.
Only 3 more hours and that ZX-11 is mine! I can't even get relaxed enough to take a nap till it's time to go get it.

>>14985971
I would like a tank bag but I really want to be able to easily carry my shit if I need to leave my bike somewhere to eat/sleep/sight see. So a single big bag suits. I'll need some kind of tank bag for my map or whatever though.

>commiting crimes instead of getting good and scouted for you favourite race team
how will you be paid for racing bikes when you are in jail?
When I downshift and ease off the throttle, I sometimes hear the
engine make a pronounced popping sound.
What is that noise?
Is it normal?
>>14986149
Some custom exhausts pop like that, but if it's a stock exhaust then something is probably wrong. If you're worried just take it to your shop and ask them about it.
>>14986070
yeah I'll also have to get the bike in shape, it's not running perfectly at the moment
and I have a bag like this for my tank, it's quite useful
>>14986143
We should wear skin tight spandex instead, you're right.
Anyone that thinks "those clothes don't fit" or "wow those clothes don't go together" is 99% a homosexual. Straight dudes do not notice these things.
People wear clothes because they have to. Get over it.

That's just a map pocket m8
>>14986229
Maybe the converter, carbs perhaps are dirty or out of spec, check your sparks make sure they aren't fouled. Popping usually caused by excess gas being drawn into the exhaust system when it didn't detonate in the engine and instead detonates inside the exhaust. Get it checked out.

Tent, sleeping gear, clothes, tools, toothbrush etc.
I mean it's all replacable stuff but at the same time I wouldn't feel comfortable walking away from the bike and leaving it all there with just a ratchet strap stopping someone stealing it unless I was withing sight of it.
Two slightly smaller bags might be a decent idea though...

>>14986311
>Tent, sleeping gear, clothes, tools, toothbrush etc.
That's a lot of stuff to be walking around with.
I don't like the idea of leaving my stuff unattented either, I'd rather avoid big cities and shady areas like poland alltogheter, at night I just take everything off the bike and keep in my tent/hotel room.

Still a pendejo
Guys I need help. Got my license couple months ago, still saving for motorcycle because i am a poor student.
I might be renting a Kawasaki VN900 in a couple days because I cant stand waiting any longer, I just have to ride.
Was doing some research and I cant figure out what the foot controls are on the left with some cruisers. What the heck is the foot control that you see here on the rear position. Ive seen this before but never found out what it does. Pleas help!
>>14986221
So it is to hide the fat rolls
>>14986417
..that's a footrest, extended foot rest and the clutch level
>>14986417
Its an extension of the gear shift I think. Instead of pushing up with your toe you can heel down and it shifts up
>>14986417
nvm, its just another way to upshift with the heel.
>>14986427
either this or to be comfy
or both
or, like in my or this fellas case, because it looks wonderfull on you and shows your great taste and that you take care of yourself.
>>14986398
>I'd rather avoid big cities and shady areas like poland alltogheter
kek
I might go for a smaller drybag just for the tent, sleeping bag, tools type stuff and get a small backpack for some clothes, toiletries and snacks that I'll keep with me everywhere.
>>14986462
>to be comfy
Well fitting clothes are more comfy than baggy shit that doesn't fit and t's constantly moving around your body
>>14986472

Anybody ever have nipple chaffing because your shirt fucking flew in the wind? Shit is terrible, also doesn't help that army issue pt shirt is infused with agent fuck-orange, microscopic silver shavings (for increased reflection and anti-bacterial properties) and sandpaper abrasive for increased gripping power when you're doing your sit ups.
>>14986291
>Calc II
whew.
I thought I was doing okay on the final until it came to the techniques of integration. That shit frustrates me to no end.
>just checked my grade
>got a B in the class *so long as the way it is posted has everything weighted correctly
>>14986240
it's probably not allowed
and it's also not easy, it's quite densely populated
a friend of mine just yesterday said that he's going to hike through the Schwarzwald and camp in the forests
he said it's possible, but only in the bigger areas, and by foot it's easier
>>14986241
>That's just a map pocket m8
yes
bag was the wrong word
but I still like that pocket
>>14986511
Integration took a while, but I finally got it down. My worry is sequences and series and their convergence and divergences, their radius of convergence, and solving Taylor series, fuck taylor and maclaruin series.
>>14986486
Wr this is why the muslims rape your wymin.
>>14986470
I'll go with a drybag for clothes/toilet stuff and I'll keep my gear either in a pair of sidebags or a tankbag.
Probably sidebags because I don't think I can mount anything bigger than 15lt on my tank.
>>14986520
>but I still like that pocket
I bet you do.
>>14985525
>What are the rest of you fags bringing?
As little as possible, maybe two tents though. One bigger one for staying more than one night and a small one that can be set up and broken down in a few minutes
>>14986525
Just remember to use ratio and root test for interval of convergence, and take power/Taylor series one part at a time then put the pattern together.
Sequences clicked with me better than integration so that was the test I did the best on.
I'm new at motorcycling. Is it socially acceptable to wear a full face helmet indoors, say to quickly buy something at a gas station or liquor store? I mean visor up. Shits a hassle to take off and carry around.
Also I don't like the color of bike. Is it trashy to just flat-black plastic shit?
>>14986532
>caring about german """"""women""""""""
is there a list of motorcycles with anti lock brakes somewhere?
I've done some googling and it's been a little difficult to find.
I'm looking for a cheap, standard (naked) bike for beginners with anti lock brakes. Something from the early 2000's would probably help keep the price down
>>14986591
I've seen "no helmet" signs at stores and banks
probably to prevent robberies or something
just take it off, takes a literal second
>>14986597
>Learning to ride with ABS
enjoy less fun and being worse than someone who learned without it
>>14986597
If you're a beginner it's probably best you buy a bike with no ABS so you can do it without hamfisting the front brakes
>>14986597
>early 2000s
most bikes didn't have abs then
>>14986597
>2003 Sv650a
>>14986597
Off the top of my head, the Kawi Versys. 660cc with abs. Good suspension. I see a lot of used ones for sale around here for around $4000.
>>14986607
Kek, i learned with a rear drum and front disc.
>>14986597
Or you could just learn to brake without being a retard and relying on computers.
>>14986594
Im not a muslim but i would love to rape wr sister and mum.
>>14986607
I learned to ride with it. But did get a lot of shit from my instructor if it activated.
None of my bikes had ABS and never missed it.
1500€ later and the XT 660 would still be a heavy fuck
what the fuck was yamaha thinking?
>mods should shave off about 14 kilogram
>mods should give about +12.5 HP
so it would have 60 HP
and still would weight 169 kilos (with all liquids)
>>14986506
I never had nipple chaffing from army pts. Just put tape over your nipples. I like all the mystery chemicals and precious metal fibers. You can sweat through them for a week straight without ever washing them and they still smell the same as when you bought them.
>>14986644
That's not bad.
Not worth 1500€ but not bad.
>>14986607
I took my lessons on an ABS bike but literally never engaged ABS because I'm a pussy bitch
>>14986644
60HP is pretty good for a single.
>>14986663
>>14986651
yeah but it could have been like that from the factory, and not over 1500 in mods
BUT! now that I look at it, it's now comparable to the SMC 690
>smc has less fueltank
>weights only 20 kilos less (WITHOUT LIQUID compared to a FULL XT)
still has 66 HP tho
would like to find a full spec sheet of the SMC in actualy road worthy (with fuel oil etc) to compare it to the modded XT
>>14986663
>tfw big singles haven't advanced in nearly 20 years
When are we going to get dual sports with liquid cooled, fuel injected 650's making 80+ HP?
>>14986688

b i k e s
>tfw riding around midnight full tuck full throttle just trying to go top speed
>tfw speedo broken
>>14986688
690 is far better in all aspects and if you doubt that you're arguing with fact and that is never a fun game.
so these >>14986644 dudes built an XT with 60 PS / 74Nm and 165 kg (empty weight)
http://www.off-the-road.de/UEber-O-T-R/OTR-Umbauten/XT-660-X-Racing/
it looks like absolute shit but they got it tested and the peopel from the magazine that tested it said:
Auszug aus dem Pressetext:
>>... Fakt bleibt: Die Yamaha XT ist in dieser Tuning Variante über eine weite Drehzahlspanne so stark auf der Brust wie kaum ein anderer im Hubraum vergleichbarer Einzylinder. Das verschafft diesem Motorrad Sprint-Qualitäten, die sich eins zu eins mit begeisterndem Fahrspaß übersetzen lassen. Und: Trotz des mitreißenden Sounds geht einem die akustische Untermalung (durch die BSM Anlage) auch bei längerer Fahrt zu keinem Zeitpunkt auf den Geist....<<
it stays a fact: the XT, tuned like this, is so strong through the whole powerband like almost no other sinlge. that makes the bike a pleasure to ride and an acceleration beast. And, even if it has the BSM Carbon exhaust, it's even on long tours not annoying [...] (quote ends)
if I'd had a working XT for 1500 bucks I'd spent the remaining 2 grand on getting it tuned there.
>>14986722
well that would have made sense, but I forgot how it was called in english.
>>14986728
i never said it wasn't better, I'd just like to see a comparison, because I wish for more bikes like the 690
it would actually be the best bike for me, but I won't buy it because >le ktm meme
I can't buy a bike like that until either an italian or Japanese manufacturer finally decides to make something comparable.
>>14986728
it looks like shit and is not as reliable.
>>14986741
Yes, choose to not buy a bike based on cherrypicked images from the internet spread by poor people that could never afford one. Seems like a solid strategy.
>>14986748
Yeah, disagree with those facts! I love it.
>>14986697
It seems like dual sports will never change. Absolutly no advancement and they're still rising in price each year. People will gladly buy them with no changes made.
>>14986761
Because they've already been prefected.
>see KLR 650
>>14986752
>cherrypicked images from the internet
that was actually literally me that started this collage ayy lmao!
it's not because it's a ktm breaking meme, but because the people that buy ktms (ktm fans) and the KTMs I have ridden were all pretty shitty, and I don't want to be part of this culture.
>>14986766
more like
>see SWM 650R
>>14986761
>drz in 4 years will still be pigfat and carb'd
cap this
>>14986748
It looks far better than the piggy XT and is very reliable.
>>14986770
I can't pick between this and a nuda
>>14986770
yes you should instead buy a bike that needs several thousands of dollars in aftermarket parts before you can race it or ride it aggressively. Seems like a wise choice.
keep ignoring facts, kiddo.
>>14986770
You don't have to join the fan club when you buy from a certain brand
>>14986771

you can still ride it agressively, it's just not that fun. You can otherwise try to do long tours on an SMC 690 or Enduro 690 and you would wish you'd had an XT 660 instead.

I judge by time more than either of those. A minute long wheelie at walking pace is harder/more impressive than a mile long wheelie at highway speed

Also popping it up really high for half a second tends to be more sketchy than riding balance point because it tends to be done by retards who can't control it or stop it if they start to loop out.

Feels bad man. The time isn't right though, I feel like a bit of a tyre kicker. I have a place to store the bike, but I wouldn't get to ride it very often.
>>14987831
Yeah standard. Apparantly the reusable K&N filters don't like dusty environments so I'd rather play it safe and buy a new one every service interval
>>14985505
The thing I don't get is.
All the knowledge is out there freely available to anybody who wants to know how to ride correctly, all of this would be avoided by some simple education and practice.
How do people not do that? You have a bike, all the free knowledge in the world to ride it right you could ever need and the free will to go and practice that but people...just don't.
>>14985505
What exactly is target fixation?
>>14987849
fixating on a target. particularly with new riders, your bike goes where you look, so don't stare at shit you don't want to hit.
>>14987849
When you take a corner you should always be looking at where you want to go, otherwise you'll end up not making it though a corner.
>>14987856
Your bike will always go exactly where you steer it, it's just that you subconsciously steer where you look.
>>14987870
no shit, autismotron.
>BEEP BOOP OUTPUT AUTISTIC COMMENT
>>14987842
oh, yeah for offroad don't use K&N filters, they're only a good replacement for street or racing.
>>14987873
To people who don't know shit about riding it may come as a surprise that some parts of riding are easier done subconsciously and some can be done deliberately.
Don't underestimate how little new riders know.
>>14987843
>who wants to know how to ride correctly
thing is people think if the government says you can ride it means you can ride. But making a few uturns and a figure 8 doesn't mean you can operate a race machine.
The written and practical exams everywhere should be way harder to avoid simply mistakes like this and like the ninja 300 crash.
>>14987888
fair enough, i assumed you were just splitting hairs for the sake of pedantry. it's a good point, and i've found that over the years the only thing my conscious mind is really doing anymore is higher-level judgment calls. ie. "is that car about to turn?" or "is that gravel in the corner? better slow down." the fewer things you have on your mental stack the better, it lets you concentrate on the things your conscious mind does best.

>>14987843
>and practice.
I've asked this before, how do you practice not target fixing? I mean it seems like once it happens for real it's probably already too late. What do?
>>14988006
you practice by always looking through the corner when you're leaned over. if you really feel the need to practice avoiding obstacles, you can try pretending there's something on the pavement that you need to avoid. like a road imperfection, or a pothole. take note, but don't stare. practice changing your line without taking your eyes off of the apex of the corner, but please do it slowly if you're inexperienced. this is a really good way to get in way over your head.
>>14988006
I don't know about you but I feel it when I'm fixing. I just turn my head the direction I'm turning even if I'm not focusing on anything and then refocus.
>>14988006
>>14988028
We tend to practice operating motorcycles without actively looking anywhere. Ideally you want to look through the corner but once you get the hang of doing it with your peripheral vision it frees you up to do other things. Eg, check mail.
I don't recommend riding this way in general but it's a trick you can try to prevent target fixation.
So I got that ZX-11. Didn't make it home. Seems like the stator and battery are shot. Friends coming to help get it home. But my question is, where the fuck is the reserve fuel switch on this thing? Is there even one?
>>14988048
we're talking about developing good habits for (ostensibly) a brand new rider. full attention and drilling in the basics are the name of the game here.
>>14987901
The thing that gets me is that guys like this not only you know, can't fucking turn, but then lowside like a motherfucker because they can't stop either.
>>14987360

>>14988057
>we're talking about developing good habits for (ostensibly) a brand new rider. full attention and drilling in the basics are the name of the game here.
In that case yes, look where you want to go, don't stare at things you don't want to hit. Etc, etc.
The big one I see new riders do a lot is stare at the ground when doing low speed maneuvers which is a big no no as well.
>>14988055
man did you even fucking ride the thing before you bought it?
>>14987838
>want to make an offer but listing says he will only talk on phone
>don't want to call him
Are you afraid of talking to him or something?
>>14988115
also i have no clue if there's a reserve switch on that bike but my old EX250 had one (comes from the same era). i forget if it was on the left or right side but it was pretty much centered below the crook of your knee on the side/under the tank. i'm assuming you've looked in the obvious places though.
>>14987994
not really but you can watch this if you want.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuSQ4a5ma-w
>>14988006
I think any riding where you're actively evaluating and thinking about how you're riding counts as practice, you can go to the twisties and think "today I will focus on where I'm looking" or "today I will focus on my lines" body position etc.and that's "practice" to me.
That being said the importance of vision CAN be demonstrated at low speed, peoples u-turns improve dramatically when they put their chin on their shoulder.
Watch japanese motogymkhana riders, they whip their heads around like sprinklers.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKfRT6yJquk
So yes I do think vision and avoiding "target fixation" is something you can practice.
MotoGP riders do it too, scott redding says one of the things he practices while riding motocross is looking "Further ahead"
