Hey /dbt/,
Do any of you know a motorcycle share service, or something similar?
I can't own a bike right now, but would really like to ride once or twice a month. I'm seriously considering taking the learner's course again to get back on a bike even if for just a little bit!

>>15018690
>Don't they get many subventions from the state?
I don't know about Germany but probably. Again if it's a small farm it's not going to be much though. There are other ways to make money in the farming sector though. My sister is on £25k a year selling top quality bull sperm all over Yurop. She even got a company car this year.
>>15018735
>mfw almost 4 wr just from lohnsteuer

>>15018753

>>15018735
I tried already, but the next one that would be able to make me a mechanic this year is 50 minutes of drive away
>>15018755

Gotta have them top quality genetics, m8. If you were more of a specimen people might be selling your sperms to herds of wimmin around yurop.
>>15018762

Thats fucking 50 Minutes bike time. Don't be lazy get that job and ride there or get a room in that city.

>>15018768
Did you ride under any bridges? I used to have wanks on motorway overpasses and try to hit the cars when I spunked.
>>15018801
Yes actually
God damn wanker I'll cum on your bike too
My baby finally made it from SD, tons of fun
New rider here, it's an 89 yamaha xt600
The one thing that is kinda harsh is that it's a kick start, so if/when I stall out it's a hassle to get on again
Also it doesn't like to get back into neutral when it stalls out, leaving me at the stop with my dick in my hands
>>15018798

>>15018813
>doesn't like to get back into neutral when it stalls out
Gently move the bike back and fort while trying to engage neutral. It helps.
>>15018817
>not moving to any fucking city that offers you a future, but rather staying in the city you can't do shit
Dude, and if its in fucking Buxtehude.
>>15018829

I just wanted to let you know that I do not share your views and can't understand anyone that does then.
>>15018908
Ok all memes aside.
It's a fucking city like every other german one, but i have family that lives in collogne and i know what you mean, there are many leftist dickheads.
As long as you are inactive in politics and don't reveal your powerlevel you will be save.
You are there to work, not to become part of the community. Also there is always normies around that don't care about left or right views with wich you can go out or do other stuff.
Please don't judge a city purely by the outer appearance of the inhabitants that you mainly see there.
If you realy care about your future, you should not refuse any job offerings.
Be carefull where you start tho, maybe a big mechanic (e.g. certified mercedes/bmw/Audi mechanics) may be better to learn from than a little Mohammed with his shitstain tools.
>>15018948
No worries.
>>15018956

Not going to lie, I thought about that too. But you can also just get a POS $500 bike and ride that.

>>15019052
There's none of the liquid directly at the fork seals though and the suspension seems to be working fine
It was mostly on the side of the tank

Can I bug you guys one more time?
Is this a good deal? Was in the last thread and getting real close to buying my first bikefu.
What's something that could be easily overlooked when buying a used bike? Should I take someone that knows about motos?
https://inlandempire.craigslist.org/mcy/5577878114.html
Where to cop custom leathers for track days ?
Any recommended ebay sellers ?
>>15019314
>Should I take someone that knows about motos?
If you have that luxury, yeah. Two sets of eyes are better than one.
I'm a little bit sad.
I wish I could travel with my friends all year long and not worry about shit.
>>15019327
>Any recommended ebay sellers ?
No, not really. Get the real deal instead of cheapshit.

>>15019314
I dunno...
When i got my bike i looked at the frame, brakes, forks and swingarm
The rest is replaceable
I missed nothing major, except the bigger brakes disks at the front chewed up some of the hugger
Look for oil underneath the motor/where the bike was parked start it cold and hot
>>15019257
American army guy here. Served with Canadians in Afghanistan. Nice guys on base but fuckheads on patrol. Same route, same day. Got one killed.
>>15019327
Go to a trackday. There's almost always 2 or 3 shops taking measures.
Or just go to a good shop with very knowledgeable people; my 2 off the rack Dainese suits fit better than my custom suit...
>>15019341
I know that feel, bro. Too bad riding for fun is not a job.
>>15019314
Streetfighter means "I crashed and broke the fairings, and Im too poor to properly repair it".
Check if anything else is broken.

My dad is giving me his 2001 American Iron Horse Bandit to sell, though it's been sitting in his garage without running for about 2 years. What all should I be going over checking and replacing to get it running again.
I'm figuring I need to replace the fuel, fuel lines, spark plugs, etc. Would I just be better off taking it to a mechanic and having them go over it? Any help would be great

>>15019481
why the fuck do the bikes over the A2 class/48hp always weigh so much?
>>15019576
because they ahve more power to compensate for the wieght
that's the thing I'm thinkgin that restricting a bigger bike is pretty pointless because they weight so much but if you are only allowed to have 48 hp you are slow as shit because of the weight

there are not that many
but you find plenty of sub 50hp bikes down to 150kg or even 140kg. Okay, many of those are dual sports, but there are also other bikes with low weight
>>15019599
you have a problem, a pretty dank problem
>>15019617
> many of those are dual sports
do you mean Enduros or real dualsports?
bwcause I don't think that actual touring or highway capable dualsports wieght so few

xt600 (2kf) is 148kg dry, the old tenere (600cc) was not more than 150kg, pretty light
xr650r weighs even less iirc
even the xl600 is less than 140kg
drz is also between 140kg and 150kg I think
dr650 and klr650 are around 170kg, these are the more heavy ones
xt350 is 140kg or something like that
dr350 is 135kg iirc
the wr125 has to weigh that much because of the power to weight ratio for a1, didn't you say that some time ago too?

Thing is my car and truck and first bike are kinda heaps. The car needs a paint job, new bumper covers front and rear, and some bodywork where rust is eating at a rocker panel, in addition to all sorts of little issues. The truck needs a new dash and cluster surround (they all crack on that generation) and some other little things.

Alright. I was concerned because they were cheap $20 things I bought. They look like they held up well enough though.
Say, if i have a rusted out 12v plug, what can i do to make it usable again?
>>15020167
Electrolysis, or just scrub it with steel wool, but the rust is always going to come back. Oil will retard the growth of rust on a metal surface, but you probably don't want to bother with that.
>>15020167
just get a new one. that's cheap stuff.
>looking forward to SAM
I wonder if it'll be nice like my ride with Trolly and Texas650.
>>15020179
Never underestimate how poor some fucks here are.
See: unclipped zip tie, no exhaust, dangling wire CB600 fag.
>>15020190
i've been there, too. shit's just no good.
Some guy came to my business and offered a 2006 kyosuke gt250 with about 18k to my manager. He don't know shit about motorcycles and I don't either, but his price was 1500. I don't think it's worth that much at all is it?
>>15020183
When and where is SAM happening, again?
>>15020211
i think you mean huosung
1500 is a fair price if it is running.
>>15020025
Figured it out, hard to get that pic with the bike upright. I dismantled it and I think it's part no. 15. Already ordered it for like $10. I hope I can put it in myself though
>>15020211
probably a decent estimate if it runs and doesn't have obvious damage
>>15020214
tomorrow
>>15020230
good deal dude. i hope it works out for you
>>15020228
>>15020232
Oh yeah I mean Hyosung. Its got wear and tear, scratches and scrapes and a small crack on the odometer. The exhaust pipe has a bit of rust on it. Runs fairly well, no problems riding it.
If anything, I just advised my manager to talk him down to $1000 at most.
aight my bike is only running on one cylinder
its a parallel twin and both cylinders are getting spark, both plugs are good, both bowls are filling with gas
what do?
>>15020179
Jej, i would, but it's OEM, and i would only plug usbs in there's, might as well cut it, if it's irrecuperable
>>15020308
an ignition coil could be out
>>15020044
>buyer comes in
>settle for $2800 on baiku
/blog
>>15020313
even though theyre both getting spark?
>>15020353
oh yeah... how old is the bike? what is it?
How do you clean your bikes /dbt/?
Ok /dbt/, i have hard time chosing my next bike...
Help me.
1199 Panigale R ?
Aprilia RSV4 RF ?
Mv Agusta F4RR (2013+) ?
I'm interested in the F4 because i had one before, they're beautiful and they're amazing but really hard to ride properly. I really like the RSV4 because it's really easy to handle, powerful, great electronic and quite beautiful, but i'm afraid i'll lose great money if i have to sell it one day.
And the Panigale R ? Well, never had a two cylinders sportsbike before, i love how small and light it is, the character of the engine etc...
What would you chose /dbt/ ? and why ?
>inb4 chose a japanese bike
no thanks
>>15020377
92 gs500e
pls no bully
it sat for a week or two bc i had a loose wire connection but before that it was running fine, never had a problem like this before
>>15020413
Do you want to ride a bike or just masturbate in your garage
>>15020413
Get a RC8.
>>15020413
don't not get a bike because you won't be able to sell it for great money again
get the RSV4 if it gets your dick hard
>>15020398
I use a water hose.
fuck off with your weebshit.
>>15020421
no bullying here. the gs500 is a fine bike, when it runs :P
try this. on the dead cylinder, take out the spark plug and run the engine for a few seconds. might want to put a rag over the open spark plug hole. i'm thinking maybe you have some water or oil in there...
>>15020413
>inb4 chose a japanese bike
So get 4 japanese bikes, it will still cost less than the bikes you're looking at.
>>15020398
i use a soapy sponge and water hose. after i get it all cleaned off, i get mud all over it without even trying. i'd like for the rain to stop please.
>>15019701
Are you still in the thread? Shit that's good man. I guess I'll just wait since I'm in no rush. I just want to get out there already though, been saving what I can for 2 months.
>>15018724
Best idea, is get your endorsement again, and grab a <250cc puttbike. Maybe even a 70s-80s enduro. Twostoke it around the town and bbbbbbbrrrrraaaaap
>>15020398
>its a thinly veiled 'look at my anime bullshit' question
>>15020480
>not enjoying a 40 minute bike advert with overt teenage lesbianism and comically large cartoon tits
>>15020432
i prefer to ride than masturbate in my garage (but i do both when i have great bikes in it)
>>15020442
well, i don't want to "make" great money, i just don't want to lose too much, and in my country, unfortunately, Aprilia is a difficult brand to sell, they make amazing bikes, but i don't want to lose 10k€ in 2 years
>>15020439
apparently the engine of the RC8 is really great to ride, but i don't like the aesthetic, but it would have been a great choice otherwise
>>15020454
as for the RC8, i know japanese bike are ultra reliable and all, i just don't find them interesting, especially Honda and Suzuki (engine wise), the new Zx10R is great but don't put me a boner when i look at it, the R1M seem to be really enjoyable to ride but it look, and it's my opinion, ugly as fuck..
>>15020448
tried that and put plug back in and tried it again, no change.
no oil/water on rag either
BREAKING NEWS
apparently im retarded bc dead cylinder isnt getting spark (suprise) although when i tested it saturday i recall it was getting spark
>>15020547
back to my original suggestion.
might need to order a new coil. good luck with the bike problem.
>hollowed out exhausts
>riding around revving for no reason
>"Hey look at me everyone pls give me attention"
Goddamn hollow pipes are annoying. People are looking at you with disgust, not admiration. Plus we can all hear you missing your shifts so you look like an even worse rider.
Stock/quiet pipes are objectively better. Thank you for reading my rant.
Any KYfags on tonight?
>>15020511
>it's a school administrator committing sexual assault episode
Wew fucking lad almost lost
>>15020654
>Stock/quiet pipes are objectively better.
No, the pipe that gives you the best performance is objectively better, regardless of sound. But yea, a loud exhaust just for the sake of it is full on cancer.
>>15020693
Who gives a fuck if you can go 3mph faster or have a tenth of a second faster 0-60 time on a street bike? Even if you can use that improvement it is vastly outweighed by the drawbacks:
>people will hate you
>can't ride the same road repeatedly without locals getting mad and trying to run you off the road
>if you live in the city your neighbors will get pissed at you, especially if you ride at night
>you will draw more attention from the police
>annoying people even more
>people can hear every mistake you make in throttle control and shifting
>ear damage
>can't sneak up on anyone or sneak through an area of questionable mentality
>more attention drawn to you if you ever hoon
>>15020725
Because fast is always better.
>>15020735
despite the fact that you have to slow down even more to compensate for the loudness
>>15020413
1. don't bother asking /dbt/ for advice about bikes like this, we haven't ridden them, nobody here has ridden them. I've ridden more litrebikes than most of /dbt/ I haven't ridden them. Just go fucking ride them yourself and make up your mind.
2. why on earth would you want the 1199 R when the 1299S is a thing?
3. You're a fuccboi who sounds like you're looking for the bike to entertain you like a dancing seal or something
>buy a running project bike
>no air filter
>>15020413
are you european? because those are decent choices for a european but if you're north american stay away
>>15020725
>caring this much
I have quiet pipes and this shit is ridiculous. Literally nobody cares how loud your bike is, once you're gone you're out of people's minds.
Only people who are looking to get triggered sperg this hard over something that literally doesn't matter and lasts for two seconds.
>>15020725
>>15020725
Your bike is only as loud as you rev. If you don't want to piss off people in your neighborhood then don't fly through your streets redlining in 3rd gear like a dumbfuck.
>>15020782
>two seconds
>implying I can't hear your nigger ass on the freeway from 1500m away
>>15019401
>I would have to look for someone since I don't have any friends
no friends? Inland empire socal? Where you at brohammer?
>>15020812
>implying
You're focussing on it, making it seem worse than it is.
Change your attitude and you'll have no problems.
>it's not what it is, but how you look at it that matters
Bretty slow in here tonight.
