>An insurance company is suing the Boy Scouts of America over a motorcycle that was damaged in a fatal wreck caused by a Fruit Heights troop that felled a tree onto State Road 12 in 2014 in Garfield County.
>The troop of boys ages 14 through 17 had obtained a permit to cut and gather firewood Oct. 11, 2014, between Torrey and Boulder when two boys cut down a tree that landed on SR-12, in the path of a motorcyclist.
>Edgar Riecke, 69, of Durango, Colo., died after his motorcycle struck the tree.

no it will eventually die in the arse if you ride with the choke on, is it set in the wrong place? you say the bike was running so i am assuming all is fine as far as that goes so you should be right until you get the replacement m80
>>15232489
A) No it's not

>>15232498
> is it set in the wrong place?
what do you mean, the choke?
The situation is like this

Heh, I have also a V-strom and same damn thing happened to me: a farmer was cutting down trees and just when I was passing him the tree fell on road. Myfirststoppie.jpg and I just ignored him after that, another murder attempt was already waiting at the next corner.
Got a helmet and jacket the other day, have some hiking boots and tactical gloves. Probably getting a bike this month. The hype is real.

swapped my shitty stock carb for another stock carb. Felt a lot better off idle, and didn't flood when I did dank wheelies. But it sputters and cuts out at high RPM and at WOT. I think I need to go down a few sizes on the main jet and possibly a different needle, since the seller said he jetted it for a DRZ with nig exhaust

Opinions on the rc 390 as a first bike? My brothers and dad say go with a 600+ or I'll get bored quick
bought an SV650 AL7 yesterday, I'll get my license monday.

Does that exist yet?

I need advice /dbt/
I currently ride a cbr600rr on my 60 mile round trip commute most days of the week, I love the bike, but I end up cruising at 9000rpm in 6th gear to be able to hold 100mph it feels like the bike is screaming.
Would I be better off with something like an Fz1? I know it would be more comfortable but will it be able to hold 100mph for 30 minutes without feeling like it's killing my engine?
>>15232748
Joa hab ich vor, zumindest was ich kann.
Mein Vater hat ne riesige Garage mit tausenden Werkzeugen, bastelt selber immer an seinen autos.
Wenn ich schon solche resourcen habe sollte ich sie auch nutzen, und sowas können schadet nie.
Is zumindest bisher meine Ansicht, vll is das ja auch naiv.
>>15232767
Also wenn du sie ganz neu kaufst willst vielleicht in der Werkstatt das Zeug machen lassen fürs "scheckheft gepflegt" sein, außerdem solange du Garantie hast (ich gehe mal davon aus du hast), dann hast du nur Anspruch darauf wenn alle inspektionen regelmäßig und in einer Fachwerkstatt gemacht wurden
>>15232618

Rode on my friends 390 and that thing feels like it Belongs on the track. I'd suggest a more street friendly bike if your not a track junkie. Maybe a cbr500, not to slow and not to fast
>>15232753
Bad choice IMO. You'll want something with less racey ergonomics and engine. Maybe a duke 690 or something would fit you.

>>15232788
Am besten klärst das aber noch mal mit deiner Werkstatt bzw. deinem Händler ab, kann sein das die da genaueres zu sagen können.

>>15232765
Hayabusa
>>15232753
it's doable but 390 is a sport bike through and through, designed for going fast on a track and not much else. something to consider
does anyone have that webm with sound saved where the guy on the bike is talking to the drunk guy about how fast his bike is? And how it has 1199 horsepower or something like that
>>15232765
>I know it would be more comfortable but will it be able to hold 100mph for 30 minutes without feeling like it's killing my engine?
more so than your cbr.
Sportsbike are not geared or powered for holding constant speeds, they are geared and powered for acceleration.
You are basically asking if a bike designed for motorway commuting will be better for motorway commuting than a bike designed for racing, which makes you a fucking retard, and i don't know why i am even responding to such a fucking dumb question.

Supersports are made to rev high. It's not going to rev the engine to death to cruise on the freeway.
Who commutes at 100mph anyway?
>>15232618
I used the tool kit to repair a door at the cabin I was staying in and the speedo is off by >10% above 105mph, does that count?

why would he be using mph then?
>>15232855
>Who commutes at 100mph anyway?
I just rode over 700 miles constantly fluctuating between 85 mph and 120 on muh vtwin ktm.
the ability of a bike to be capable of sustained high rev is pretty important. Though in 6 gear at 100mph the ktm is around 6k even though it isn't a relatively high revving engine

Don't believe him, he's either being intentionally obstinate or an idiot who couldn't grasp the book.
It's not about existential crisis, it's not about "questioning what is real and what isn't"
If you think that's the point of the book you've missed it entirely
>>15232875
I was just answering your rhetorical question.

Gonna just chime in with a question.
They suggest jets based on altitude right? Should I jet it for sea level where most of my riding takes place, or set it best to fang it through the hills?
Or just go in between?

i didn't get cited for the violation on the permit. just the speeding. I'm hoping the court wont dig into that and ill just have to pay the speeding tickey, which is $470.
Its an utterly bullshit rule is what is it.

I've been riding dirtbikes and streetbikes for 10+ years. two months have indeed past I got the permit in april and was pulled over in june. I'm sure a lawyer could argue the definition of "2 months" stupid fucking rule anyway
>>15233173
If you're so well versed in how this should go how come you came here asking for help
>>15233173
Sounds like you'll be wasting more money on a lawyer than just paying the ticket. When you filled the paperwork at the Dmv you've already agreed to the terms no matter how "stupid" it is.
>>15233204
I'm not that well verse. I just wanted to see if anyone here had any experience but it seems like you're all nobike anime masturbaters.
Differnt states have different laws. It seems if you live in florida you're likely to go to jail than say if you live in Utah.
I cant find much info on google for utah. It says mandatory court appearance but the cop told me i wont have to go to court and can handle it over the phone. Ill call to see what they have to say and I guess i might have to get a lawyer.

Problem?
>>15233253
good luck m8. I'm going through the carb ritual right now.
>>15233253
do you measure while hitting the starter?
or did you have to take the carbs off to get the hoses on, and then put them back on for the test?
Duccati, Triumph, MotoGuzzi, and now Yamaha have production scramblers /dbt/. Are any of them actually worth taking off road or are they just hipster bait?
>>15233114
your license will probably be suspended. yes they can suspend it even if you dont have one.
i dont know it doesnt really matter anyway, just go to court.
juvie is a joke, and you wont be there long so I wouldnt worry about it even if on the off chance you have to go.
>>15232997
doit fagit
>>15233278
No starter yet. I replaced the float needles so the carb was away from the bike.
2bh once the hoses are installed i think you can shove the rubber boots in there once youre doje syncing, but installing the hoses with the carb on would be tough. Not impossible, but kind of a bitch job.
I've removed the solenoid and a bunch of crap and even then its tight down there
>>15233280
Yamaha?
what?
anyways the Ducati actually can do some light off-road, look up, they made a rallye with the scrambler triumph and Ducati

I'm MV Anon. I'm guessing a wire on the harness that goes from my tail section to my headlight projector arced and shorted out a sensor or a relay (most likely the latter) so now I don't have a tacho or radiator fans.
I'm sick of fucking with the thing so I'm just gonna make a shop deal with it.

>not owning a meme bike
>>15233378
Nah they seem legit enough. Besides, if the ECU didn't work it wouldn't crank and run. I can ride it just fine, it just doesn't kick on the rad fans at the correct temp and my tacho doesn't work, which means it can't calculate speed.
>>15233379

Hey guys, complete newby here as well as to biking so please don't kill me.
I have a few questions regarding bikes and stuff:
1. When is the best time to get my license? I would like to use it abroad in February so I was thinking of doing it in September or October so I don't have to when it's freezing cold outside. Also if there are any German/Austrian people here, can you explain the difference between the different A licenses and what kind of bikes I could right with those?
2. I want to mostly just take weekend trips, maybe combined with some camping gear. How do you normally transport things on a bike?
3. I had some people telling me that biking is disproportionately more dangerous than driving a car. Is this true? (don't have a driver's license for those either but still)
Thanks guys, if I'm told to kill myself I will of course do so
>>15233427
>2. I want to mostly just take weekend trips, maybe combined with some camping gear. How do you normally transport things on a bike?
Hard luggage if you have money, bungee cordscif you don't, hotels if you have lots of money.
>3. I had some people telling me that biking is disproportionately more dangerous than driving a car. Is this true? (don't have a driver's license for those either but still)
Yes, but the most fun things in life are dangerous. No one ever got a thrill from eating well cooked broccoli.
>>15233398
My bike is still faster than yours without a tacho or radiator fans though?
It's not like it doesn't start and run.
>>15233449
Pretty sure mines faster m9
>>15233427
>German
They constanlt get raped by muslims so sometimes they dont post.
>>15233512
Post bike then fag
>>15233536
:^)
>>15233446
oh hard luggage looks like a good option. can that be attached to any bike? also what did you mean with hotels exactly?
>>15233427
I can't answer number 1
2) If I'm camping I pack everything into a good hiking backpack and strap it to the bike somehow.
3) Yes, it is, but that's life.
You can mitigate the danger of motorcycling by being safety minded, never riding drunk (AT ALL. EVER) and not speeding.
Ride like everyone's trying to kill you and you'll be a lot safer.
>>15233548
It's not faster if the rider is a bitch in the corners ;)

This doesn't sound too good. I wanted my first bike to be simple and maintenance free, at least for this summer. I can wrench but don't have a proper place yet.
So what should i look out for if i decide to get one? Any good alternatives?
On a side note, my helmet has fully removable cheekpads, but the liner seems to detach only at the back of the head. What purpose does this even serve? How would it be any better to wash compared to simply showering the whole helmet? Pic. related. It seems to be glued under the Styrofoam near visor.
>>15233555
Sorry I don't drag knee on highway on ramps bb.
When are you getting your f4 fixed?
https://streamable.com/ncaj
kill me pls
>>15233553
Almost every bike has hard luggage available for it from the original manufacturer or a third party. Givi is probably the most prolific third party producer and their stuff is pretty damn good. The big advantage of buying third party is that you can transfer your luggage to a new bike by only buying a new frame. By hotels, I meant that if you have the money, you can cut down on luggage requirements by sleeping in hotels or glamping. I carry so much camera gear with me that I'd have to put a tent on the pillion seat.
>>15233559
>So what should i look out for if i decide to get one? Any good alternatives?
Do you want a Sumo styled bike or just a nice naked? How about the Honda CB650F if it's the latter?
As for washing your helmet liner, if it's glued in, you're probably better off with a foaming cleaner like the one Muc Off makes than using water.
>>15233427
every Europe could explain you A / A2
but here we are now
A2 means 35kW limit, and with new regulations if you don't make your license before soon the base bike has to have not more than 90 ps
A means unlimited kW/Kilo while with A2 it has to be a maximum of 0.2 kW per kg

Also, since he doesn't even have B (car license), A1 might be relevant to him as well (125cc / 11kw limit, can be had from age of 16).
As for timing, i'd be more worried about any limits your driving school and local authority has. For us there are no exams from october to april. So starting in september you might not make it in time.
But generally i'd avoid getting A2 and just got B and rode 125cc if you're under 24 years and get the unrestricted A when you're old enough. Makes no sense doing basically the same exam and courses twice.
>>15233600
>>15233638

I don't really want the B license desu, I don't ever have the opportunity to drive a car plus it's going to be hard to even squeeze in lessons for the A2 with my job and all, don't think I would manage even more. I'm turning 23 in two weeks though, I could wait for a year and go straight to A, but I don't think I can wait for that long tbqh

Has anyone from germany by any chance tried the cornering training course offered by the ADAC on the Nürburgring
>>15233721
Must be different where you're at then. Here for A/A2 without B you basically have to do the whole B course (~50 mandatory theory and ~10 driving lessons). With B it's just 3 lectures and 10 driving lessons (if you learn fast).
Especially since you're almost 23 with B you could drive A1 vehicles till you're 24 and then just get the extra course.
I mean if you were younger you could think that it's cheaper to get just bike driving lessons for now, but you'll want to do unrestricted A anyway, so you'll have to take the mandatory lessons anyway and in the end it would cost the same.

It's not legal, technically. It's just that we seem to veer more on the side of legitimizing it than banning it. CHP even had guidelines on safe lanesplitting until they were sued for "enforcing a law that didn't exist".
>>15233773
I'm planning to do one next year, don't know if nürburgring or oscherleben tho
There are videos on youtube that could answer your questions

We had a cat, she died after getting hit by a car. She was also convulsing violently until the vet we took her put her down. So I think that cat was a victim of a hit and run.
Hey guys quick question, I have long hair what type of helmet should I get?
>>15233724

>second worst
The fact that you put Hane anywhere near best girl shows your taste is objectively shit
>>15233779
yeah it's not necessary about the costs but the extra time I would waste with having to take driving lessons for a car.
Also how can I exactly imagine the differences between bikes I can ride with a A1 and and A2 or just the normal A?
>>15233748
hmm ok they're less good than the men, so what ? they're still better than 99% of /dbt/.
>>15233819
>roadkill
>hit and run
Do you stop and file a police report every time a bug gets splattered on your visor?
>>15233779
>>15233827
actually it seems that I can start doing the A license at 23 1/2 years, so I guess I'm just gonna wait until spring then. That's gonna be a long year ahead then
>>15233817
Is this true or just a meme? I was considering getting one after passing my A2 but people are either saying this or that they're utter shite, so I'm not sure.
>>15233834
You don't?
>>15233853
It's a pretty terrible bike, but they tend to be cheap and fulfill all the needs of a beginner pretty well.
It's absolutely a meme.
>>15233853
If you can get them cheap, they are. Also only buy post 1995 models as they have slightly better front suspension and better brakes.
>>15233827
I'll explain it
>A1
literally slow as shit, maximum of 125cc and 11kW and 0.1 kw per kilo
pretty good on fuel, but has to go WOT ever where to even just keep the flow with traffic. don't expect to go faster than 100 km/h anytime
> A2
easy to ride since a power restrictions but no CC restrictions, various bikes available while in A1 everything is a 1 cyl 4 stroke (talking about new bikes obviously) in A2 you have a wide range
> A
A stands for Absolute madman, no power or weight limit can stop you, expect to ride 270 kmh easily if you want to. obviously given you have a bike capable of such speed.
you'll win any drag race on the road, no matter if against a fucking unimog or an Audi RS8 or whatever you'll find on the street.
>>15233865
How so? Post your first hand experience from owning one please ir are you just like the rest who read something on the internet and believe it.
I mean, KTM has to be absolutely shit. I always see pics and stories of them snapping in half and catching fire.
>>15232618
I guess Honda not a shit.
>>15233853
nah, SV650 is the best beginner bike.

gaff tape
>>15233935
stick it in exhaust hole
>>15233935
weld a holder to the swing arm, put the flag in the holder and save it against falling out by putting zip ties around it and the read spoiler so that it can't fall to the side
costs: maximum 20 bucks
>>15233949
>weld
I don't want it that permanent, just for a day or two after we vote to fuck the EU
>>15233949
you could weld a pipe to the chassis, drill a whole through the pipe and the flag and then put something in the middle along the lines of a cotter pin.
>>15233865
>>15233866
>cheap
That's the main reason I was looking at it, literally every one on Autotrader is under £2000. That and they go right up to the 35kW power limit.
>>15233884
Not for A2 holders unless it's restricted, and restricting bikes is shit.
>>15233935
just take a thin bent piece of metal and stick it in the exhaust
Where's a good place to sell motorcycle gear dbt? I've been trying to get rid of a motorcycle jacket I never used since forever but selling that shit on craigslist is impossible thanks to the 500+ harley retards completely flooding the gear section trying to sell off their shitty faggot Harley brand jackets.
>>15233879
I definitely want the madman option then. Looks like I'll have to wait for that though
Also anybody has experience with using those licenses in other countries (SEA, Japan?). Is there an extra process required?
>>15232887
you sure about the speedo inaccuracy?

i saw cops doing it, I split a lane with a cop to the right;. Its pretty fuggin legal
>>15232911
h-how did you get that picture, that stuff is all hidding behind my rear lights
>>15233971
restricting a 75 hp bike to 48 is really not that big a deal.
>>15233994
It's technically not legal because we haven't legitimized it (yet). But yeah, when even cops are doing it, you don't have to worry.

bring a legal bike, don't do anything illegal, call the cops yourself
>>15234119
All my bikes are legal
But the temptation is real
Why would I call the cops?
>>15233935
Remove the passenger pegs and make a bracket that attaches to the holes.
Bakuon has currently gotten around 5k BD/DVD sales in Japan for the first volume. So it's been a minor success as far as niche shows go.
