Been thinking of getting a GoPro. What sort of roads do the popular motovloggers ride? American "twisties" with huge lanes and slight heading changes or proper twisties with narrow lanes and big bushes either side?
>>15006176
Just crash into the side of a truck and claim it was the wind. Thats good enough to get you 100K+ views in a few days and 1000+ subscribers.
Reminder there are people that pay large sums of money for high end lightweight helmets then strap a fucking camera to them.

Gonna replace sparkplugs tomorrow. Will make sure its clean so no dirt falls in, use a feeler gauge to check the spacing and will torque correctly. Anything else to look out for? Definitely have the right plugs
>>15006273
Did he want to give you the baby?
>>15006273
That's your cue to flip off the back seats then wheelie 360 degrees and ride away
>>15006284
No I guess he was mad that I made loud noises near his baby after his wife flipped me off, so they sped and passed over the double yellow so they could curse at me in front of their kid.

So I think I'm going to get a skid plate and some TKC80's for my JF-09. How bad of an idea is this?
I'm considering my options for tomorrow's ride.
Should I go check out the gear store 3h from my house?
or the camping store 1h from my house?
or should I try to pick up a prostitute somewhere?

Great Idea. They can save you thousands of dollars in new parts. Why would that be bad?
>>15006353
Fuck dude there's only so much time in a day
>>15006349
I got my Shogun sliders for ~$50. Haven't tested em yet but I did knock over my CBR600 once before I sold it. It was in the parking lot and the sliders prevented any damage. If I didnt have sliders I probably would have scarped the fairings and maybe cracked the tail as the tail was aftermarket fiberglass

Because instead of repairing fairings and replacing pegs and engine covers, you could have a bent frame instead.

10 hours and 13 seconds. And that's a pretty liberal estimate. you have enough time.
>>15006392
Sadly I'm bound to roads.
>>15006349
Sometimes it depends on the bike and fairings. It's been known that sliders actually crack the frame during a drop or fall, but that's pretty rare. I prefer engine bars rather than sliders, they evenly distribute the weight so that some 400-500lbs of bike isn't focused on 1 point on the frame.

So i just found out my engine is not a 60° V2, but a 90
>can i now call it an L twin?
>is there any difference between an L2 and a 90V?
so, just got back from a shakedown in my car. I was following a guy on ducati and came to a red light. I left 1 1/2 - 2 car lengths between us, then he waved his hand for me to come forward and when I didn't he started shaking his head, putting his hands on his hips. I laughed and then he started shaking his head even more. I have a small car, so he should have been able to see around me. Also I like to maintain a margin for error at stoplights, especially for motorcycles. Why did this guy get so mad at me? Can you be parked too far away at a stop light?
>>15006479
just call it a v twin like normal people do
>>15006377
>>15006495
>move forward at stop lights
because some bikes cant trigger the magnets or sensors on the ground at stoplights
>>15006500
Is an L twin just a ducati thing?
>my bike is italian anyway, so close enough
>>15006513
it's like Honda's vtec. other cars have variable valve timing but its good for marketing.
>>15006511
>>15006495
Literally just had to deal with this
Idiot in a red alfa waited 4 good minutes until he realised i was not trying to kill him
>>15006511
but why get so ass mad over that? When he stops at red lights and no cars are behind him does he just sit there enraged for a week waiting for someone to show up?
>>15006513
Ltwin is just a rotated Vtwin.
>>15006535
yeah, if there's a camera. you get pretty used to scanning for traffic cameras in intersections on a bike. and yes, it can get pretty fucking annoying. also try tripping parking lot sensors on a motorcycle. i have to do a 3 point turn to get my bike literally sideways in the lane to even be able to get the gate open. then i have to move forward and do it again to get the little plastic fucker to raise.
>>15006535
Just gun through the red light, that's what I do if nobody is around (plus KY law makes it legal if you've been sitting for 2 cycles or 2 minutes). But most likely it was the middle of the day so you can't really do that when cars are coming and going. I had an issue like that where the light wouldn't turn green because nobody was coming from the other way and the guy behind me wouldn't pull onto the plate. I had to get off my bike and tell the guy to pull on the plate so the light could change. It amazes me that you dummies don't understand what that plate does, it should click when people point at the stupid thing.
>>15006548
>mfw parking lots in my area have short barriers so you can just ride past them
>>15006558
when i rode a sportbike i could just slip right through it. i have saddlebags now though so i have to do the dance. it's pretty shitty, but it just becomes a part of your day like anything else after a while.
>>15006529
I just read it has to do with the way the whole engine is orientated
>>15006544
Yeah, just got it

Hey DBT, what are your thoughts on disk locks? The one I'm looking at is a Bully Lil Bully, no alarm just a lock.
Also I'm thinking of getting a medium thickness length of chain or cable and using that plus a padlock to chain my riding jacket and helmet to the bike when I have to leave it for a bit. Thoughts?
>>15006548
sounds like something that comes with the territory when riding a motorcycle in urban areas...I guess you could call it a first world problem. I was just concerned I was putting him in danger or something, which would been a legitimate reason for him getting upset.
>>15006581
he might have just been having a bad day. some people have anger issues too, i guess. sometimes if you're having a really bad day, the smallest thing can send you over the edge. i kind of doubt he was angry as you think he was though.
>>15006555
>you dummies
why do you have to have an "us vs. them" mentality. Can't you inform without having to insult? I bet there are things that you don't know about my hobbies that I do, but I'm not going to call you a dummy because you don't.
>>15006577
exactly its just a marketing gimmick other than engine orientation there aint much difference.
>>15006529
VTEC isn't just variable valve timing and no other manufacturer has VTEC or a VTEC knockoff on a production car.
>>15006574
>i have saddlebags now

>>15006598
>but how will people know you're a badass rider when you're not wearing your jacket?
I'll be wearing my badass riding pants! But honestly my current textile jacket is heavy, even more so with a bladder and wetted liner. I'm too much of a lazy ass to carry it around in a story.
>>15006592
this, more or less. i personally never had to be aware that the sensors even existed before i started riding a bike. most people just don't have any reason to be aware of the fact that bikes don't tend to trip traffic sensors.
>>15006598
>get rid of them
but they're incredibly useful for everything else. i keep my rain gear in one and the other keeps my laptop dry and off my back when i'm riding. splitting isn't even really that bad once you get the feel for how wide you are, although you obviously can't get into spots as tight as you could otherwise. i have bar extenders on my bike so i have at least a nominally better awareness of where i can fit.
>>15006604
VTEC is variable timing and lift, it uses a second, completely different camshaft profile above a certain engine speed. Variable timing is one thing but VTEC makes the engine behave as if it had a lumpy cam, but without the shitty idle etc. Whether it's any good is another debate, but it is unique. Do you get VTEC on Honda baiku engines?
>>15006592
Shit, didn't think you'd get so mad over the word dummy. MY BAD.
But you have to admit it.. How do you not know what the giant square is at the stoplight? How does it not click in your head when someone points to it?
>>15006616
vfr800 does idk if other do. for my understanding its main purpose its to help with emissions. Motorcycles are not as regulated as cars are regarding that.
>>15006579
>what are your thoughts on disk locks?
its a first line of defense to protect your bike from thieves. I have 2 alarm disc locks and 2 kryptonite chains, yes, i know if they really want the bike they can take it, but im going to make them work for it.
>>15006639
It is an economy feature. Means you can get triplesikk hp figures while getting good emissions figures.
/dbt/ did you go for a ride today?
>>15006671

>>15006671
No. I fixed my mommy's airconditioner. Now I'm going to visit my father in the hospital. Depending on what time I get away from that I may go for a sunset/night ride. Yesterday was windy and dusty as fuck but I still went for a ride. Its a beautiful day today. Being a good son sucks sometimes.

>>15007149
You know actually a Gopro is lighter than I thought, so that's actually a legitimate point.
I figured it was more like fussing about 100g when you were going to slap 500g on anyways.
Becarefull and stay alert guys. Some dindu almost took me and my buddies out.
My brother threw another autismal tantrum today about how I am an irresponsible, unsafe rider and I ride too fast.
What triggered him was me saying I wanted to drop to a 47T rear sprocket so I could keep the revs a bit lower when I am cruising at 60mph.
>>15006293

>>15007182
I was thinking Of getting one of the CBR 300s just for track use. Taking the FZ out is fun, it just wasn't really built for it. Besides the whole "More fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow."
I just want something I'm not worried about dropping on a bad day and rather than getting an R3 the CBR could be a good choice.
>>15007149
I don't even notice a weight difference on my helmet with the camera mounted on the chin. When it is on the side you do notice it a little mostly in a turn. Still a few ounces isn't going to really effect the helmet.

well he needs to stop being such a shitcunt and acting like a fucking holy grail of everything that is safe. Cruising at 60mph in a 55mph zone is perfectly normal and fine. I'd even argue that it can be safer because people will tailgate the fuck out of me if I go the speed limit on a single lane highway.
He's a much worse rider than I am, and falls prey to killer survival reactions on a daily basis.

Remove the spark plug and stick a drinking straw down the hole.
Watch the straw for TDC.
>>15007319
My bike has a bolt you remove so you can see a flywheel which has a marker point on it for TDC.

>>15007319
Are you asking about how to find the spot or how to keep it there?
To find the spot, a lot of bikes have markers on the flywheel and a viewing hole so you can see exactly when you're at TDC. To keep it there some bikes have a TDC lock, but I doubt most do. You will want to release the compression so it's not trying to push the piston back down. Removing the spark plug works for that.
>>15007266
Maybe you're horriblyuncoordinated and don't realize it. Maybe your a terrible rider and he doesn't know how to tell you. Maybe he's jealous your dad seemed to like raping you more.
>>15007331
cuck!
>>15007339

>>15007336
why?
>>15007280
How close I am
>>15007351
If you lose your license I guess you have no more reasons not to move to Majorca or wherever with your suicide qt.

>Removing the spark plug
Thanks!
>>15007304
I wish he was posting here instead of you. I'd love to hear what a hooning jackass and how self righteous you are.
>tfw wish my brother cared about me
>>15007350
I can't be a cuck if I never had a gf :^)
also I'm getting my money later, I'm not going to bother him at three am for a few euros.
>>15007357
that's pretty Damm close son
>>15007358
if I lose my license I don't really have a reason to do anything in life since everything I made was to afford a vehicle and gasoline, now I'm poor and may also be soon without license so I could might as well kill myself
but you're right, maybe she'd accept me
or laugh at me because I'm a fucking failure.
>>15007371
Get him to give you a bj too?
>>15007371
She would probably accept you. She was a failure once too.
If you do kill yourself make sure you let us know so we can make epic memes.
>>15006671
Yep, went to two locations of a local shop called Bookman's. Think Borders (bookstore that went bankrupt a few years back) + musical instruments, used PC parts, 8-bit to current gen video games, and other collectible stuff. Pretty awesome shop.
Met a possible new riding buddy there.
Got Phantasy Star 3
AND got Phantasy Star 4
Shin Megami Tensei 3 Noctune for $10 complete.
Today was a good day.
>>15007349
maybe.
Or maybe he is actually overstepping his bounds by trying to tell me how to live my life and how to ride on my own.
>>15007376
nah that's gay
>>15007380
>young man kills himself because he had no license and no money for gas, in his last wishes was that someone posts a picture of him on a Chinese sewing machine forum
>>15007401
Not gay unless the balls touch or eyes lock.
>>15007399
Did he just not commit at all to that corner? wtf.
>>15007381
That shop sounds based as fuck.
>>15007401
We'll post lots of pictures of you, m8.
>>15007399
Nigger he is just concerned for your safety.
Why not just be happy you have a family that loves you?
>>15007430
He's going though that edgy period in his life. Poppin willies, getting angry at his family etc.
>>15007407
I do hate it when I'm having sex with another dude and he squeezes our balls together and looks me in the eye while I have a prostate orgasm. It's just...gay.
>>15007430
I know, right? My brother rides and we've barely said two words to each other in the last 6 years.
>>15007407
He charged it then locked the brakes and target fixated on it.
A lot.
>>15007430
>Why not just be happy you have a family that loves you?
I am.
>Nigger he is just concerned for your safety.
He refuses to let me bee myself.
Everything I do, no matter how sane and safe, he must inject his own opinion and try to make me feel bad or say he is doing it better for whatever reason.
>>15007472
Maybe if you were better at shit it wouldn't be a problem.
>>15007509
I'm better than him at least.
Every time I get on the bike I work to make myself a better rider. I learn what I can and can't do. I practice to improve on the things I can do and I try to prepare myself for the things I can't do. I stay well within my limits on the streets.
>>15007534
You need to assert your dominance. Challenge him to a race and show him that he is the inferior rider. Then when he's still taking that in you pop a willy and keep it at 12 oclock as you ride off over the horizon. Let it be known that you are the one who should be telling him how to ride.
Or you can just fuck him in the butt. That's another way to assert dominance.
>>15007598
both ways involve popping a willy tho, what if you don't have one
>>15007610
Start taking female hormones I guess.
>>15006612
Not even close
>>15007636
Try not to trigger him.
I wanted to ride my bike today. I forgot primer and paint take time to dry.
>>15007660
Paint is just extra weight to slow you down. Remove it and ride on, brother.

man, i want a bike real bad but youtube is full of videos of road rage shit, people swerving to knock bikers over, getting out of their cars and running up on bikers. shit like that scares the fuck out of me
>>15007693
Maybe one day. But now I want to sell my 250 to get another 250. Maybe I'll even graduate to a 300.
>>15007695
It's because Youtube only has the scary shit, cause day to day where nothing happens is boring.
>>15007693
For a bike's funeral you burn it on a funeral pyre right?
>>15007702
Yes
>>15007698
>250
go right ahead, m8. I don't blame you. However, I do blame you for getting a new 250? Why not a 650? sv650 is awesomely handle-able by noobs, and you won't kill yourself on one.
>>15007721
Cause I'm really limited by what's available in Copart and IAA. I'd like an SV650 but no one wrecks those here.

>>15007695
think about it, who is really at risk if they walk up to a motorcyclist and try to start a fight? you have a big ass helmet, are (hopefully) wearing a thick leather or textile jacket, and leather gloves most likely with hard ass knuckle inserts. you are basically a walking deadly weapon and unless someone's got a gun they really have nothing on you. there's a reason people used boiled leather armor back in the medieval age -- it's because leather is tough as shit to get through, so even someone with a knife has a good chance of not even getting through your jacket. you're fucked if they shoot you, but that's an entire different level of seriousness that you're unlikely to ever see.
as far as getting road raged on, shit happens. don't go out of your way to piss people off like some people love to do and you're generally alright. practice safe driving habits and you'll make it.
>>15007730
Ohh, I gotcha. Yeah, been looking at bikes for a month now and the only thing people sell here are cruisers, and stupidly expensive old fart touring bikes. Season sucks
>>15007721
>>15007698
if you're just starting you should get a moped, it's good for learning the basics and you can't easily kill yourself with it. it's cheap, and guys think it's hot if they see you riding a moped
>>15007740
>not open carrying a handgun
it's like you don't even live in a free country
>>15007758
Same in the auctions. I can only get cruisers because that's the only thing people ride.
>>15007760
Already got my license, and a moped wouldn't really show me things like clutch control or split brakes anyways.
>>15007760
>living in a country where fat psycho women are legally allowed to have concealable weapons
Imagine if every psycho bitch on the street had a gun, fucking anarchy.
>>15007695
Confirmation bias
What you don't see is the 9001:1 ratio of normal shit
>>15007760
>recommends a moped
>hurr durr muh guns
what a megacuck
i be you even have photos of harley bikes saved on ur computer
>>15007782
mopeds have split brakes, and clutch control is super easy. just learn it in a car and it'll switch over easy
>>15007784
I'm a psycho bitch with a gun, I'm just not fat. Mopeds don't really do well with hamplanets riding them, I think you're thinking of mobility scooter riders.
and not clinically psycho, just diagnose with borderline pd and bulimia.
also, is the fuel tap on the ninja 250 supposed to be such a pain in the ass to use with the fairing getting in the way, or am I just a fuck up
>>15007803

>road rage shit, people swerving to knock bikers over,
Some fucking dindu swerved over to my lane without looking in his blind spot and almost knocked/ran me over, fucking nig. I pull up next to the fucking darkie at the stoplight and he yells you "mane i shuda ran yo ass ova'. I was going to flick the nigg off but that would've ignited his ape tendencies and started a fight. My advice is to leave it alone and not tick the other person off.
>>15007823
id accuse you of being a buttflustered euro, but i know you're just a retarded oregonian.

>happened again yesterday
>starter clicks but engine wont turn over
>assume battery is dead again
>try after ten minutes it almost starts but doesnt work
>sit around for half an hour and the bike starts fine
Right now my theory is that the bike isn't starting because it's too hot. It's never done this unless I stop somewhere after work for a short amount of time, not long enough for it to cool down. The thing I don't understand is why having the bike jumped works
What could the problem be?
>>15007836
Most efficient means to defend yourself is not be a weak little homo gay boy Bitch tits who is seen as a target in the first place
Next most efficient means if defense is your fists and elbows and knees and feet
>>15007836
>wanting to kill people over minor disputes
Do americans actually think they would be able to live with killing someone over lets say a wallet?
>>15007865
yes.
>>15007847
>>have had people give me jumps
what bike? and are they jumping the bike with their car or bump starting?
>>15007865
The limp dick wannabe Jason stathams fantasize about killing someone over their hurt feelings ever since the day they got tripped over in grade school and called a loser
I'm sure they could live with it
>>15007847
sounds like your starter motor is on its way out, next time it happens try tapping the starter with a hammer or screw driver to jar it and see if it goes.

The thing is it starts the first time every time in the morning. It's only when the bike is warmed up that I have the issue.
>>15007883
i know, some trucks do this too, my old van used to struggle like hell when warm to turn over but when cold fired up like new.

I accidentally ended up there the other day, overshot an exit for burlington. Seems like a nice place, is there any good riding out that way? I'm in hillsborough, and it's kinda lame down here cause Durham and Chapel Hill are close by instead of beautiful country it's just ugly concrete

the fallacy is that you somehow get into positions where you "need to defend yourself" in the first place. I spent my whole life in or around some of the worst ghettos, my job has me on the corner of sheridan and colfax right next to the bloods and never have I felt a need for a gun to "protect myself" because I don't provoke people or act like a target.
