Y2K+ Water cooled jap crap will last 300,000 miles provided the oils is changed, valves adjusted, and not stunt life. Air cooled Jap lasts 60k. Italian bikes need the crank pressed apart every six tanks of gas. BMW's go until crashed.

Found this for the chick I'm dating/fwbing. 2011 550 miles $1800 mint. She had never been on a bike til i started hanging out with her a couple months ago and fell in love with bikes from riding on mine with me and have been helping her look for a first bike. Saw this today and lept on it - bike might as well be new.

>>15289195
>>15289428
Harleys are good bikes
>>15289428
The CBR125 is a more forgiving bike. Plus Honda reliability.
>>15289447
is that a 919?
>>15289437
They aren't bad. And I honestly can't help but smile when I see a mid-aged man on his Harley cruising around on a sunny day. He looks neutral, but on the inside, he is so so happy. But seriously why do the owners have such ego's.
>>15289439
Forgiving? Huh. I really should be listening to anyone else but myself, since I wouldn't know a darn thing about this.

>>15289439
>Plus Honda reliability.
>>15289460
What anon means is that the clutch is easier to handle on the CBR125 and as a result of this you're less likely to stall a CBR125.
>>15289431
Damn!
FUCK TICKETS
i'm done pulling over for cops, fucking done. even fully legal and not speeding they find something to get my ass for. tell me why i shouldn't take my plates off and fuck with them tonight. whatever raggedy ass cruisers they use around here can't beat a gixxer 1k in anything. pulling over is a fucking courtesy.

I actually took a scout for a demo ride today, it was fucking shit. Brakes are non existent, it's unstable turning at any speed, the low end torque is nice but top end is flatter than an 11 year old boy. Plus is has a fucking digital tach which is retarded.

Anon from a couple days ago asking what bikes the WSMT uses in the Snohomish county area at Boeing, I finished day one and there was majority GZ250's and Intruder 250s as well as a lone Rebel. I assume they were either broken or meant for the taller riders, but there was also what I think was a ninja 250(some faired sportbike of sorts anyways) and a dual sport parked to the side behind the trailer

>>15289955
I wouldn't be surprised, I really liked how the Shoei felt and the price was decent. SSB's website will probably say if they have the Arai in stock. If you ask they may price match, they price matched Revzilla for my helmet.

I like that place, its a bit crowded on their showroom (they need more space). They have the best tire prices in town.

>>15290122
I agree about the showroom, they've got atleast 20 bikes back in the warehouse on top of the ones on the main floor. The people are really great too, I just don't like that Revzilla has lower prices on just about everything.
Do you know of any good local places to check out gear? I was at Bob's Cycle Supply earlier today and they only had 2 kind of Icon riding jeans
>>15290142
Not overly worried about money.
Just gotta find one in good condition and a boomer willing to let one for a price that's not beyond stupid because he lost his virginity to one 40 years prior or something.
But yea. The old ones are sexy as fuck
>>15289910
Very first day was class day on Thursday, which was a lot of basic common sense shit and stuff you end up learning as a small car driver. Very little motorcycle specific stuff until the end when the instructor flew through everything. Cool british guy though. Mine was held at the Everett Powersports but they also hold the classes at the main WMST building down the street I think
Today was first on-bike day though, went pretty well and was fairly basic. Lots of clutch work finding the friction point and changing gears/starting off stopping. Some of the bikes aren't in the best of conditions, I ended up swapping bikes twice; the first wouldn't come out of first gear and the second was having carb issues. Only one guy dropped his bike, and he needed constant coaching/extra practice during breaks. He'll still probably pass I'm betting. They're also pretty hard on making sure you 4 finger brake even though it's low speed/california stopping. Overall fun experience(from a nobike with little experience) but based on the class and course so far, I'm really feeling like I should have just taken the advanced course to cut out the common sense/never ridden a bicycle basic/how2manualtransmission stuff.
>>15290139
Why would they put an airbag on a bike?

>>15290166
>boomer
>price that's not beyond stupid
u w0t m8.
You would literally have to have their children pull it from their cold, dead hands
>>15290166
The amount of money people are willing to throw out for those things is incredible. The owner of those bikes told me when he went to get the '40 restored he met the guy at a swap meet in Ohio, the bike looked like it had been on the Titanic, it had sat for over 40 years and was rusted to pieces. But when he pulled up with it in the bed of his truck people were pounding on his windows, wads of hundreds in hand trying to buy it.
>>15290205
There's always hoping man :/
>>15290210
Lol yea. It's kinda ridiculous.
I guess I'll have to settle for the new ones until I can snag an old one
>>15290205
We can only hope that as the boomers start to die off and the prices on stuff like that will start to go down.
>>15290156
>bobs cycle
They have two locations...st paul and one up in I think chisago city. If you're up there you can swing by dennis kirk in rush city. It kinda sucks living in mn because our dealers and moto related stores dont carry or have any items we want in stock.
>>15289045
>honestly the second he started saying "your mom" jokes outside of youtube comments seriously i would have started laughing and just shook hands with the guy. hilarious really. also his girl looked pretty cute.
>>15290174
from what I understand the advanced course is supposed to be for people who already know how to ride and have been riding for a bit. It also doesn't count for license waiver. It's too bad you guys are having to fight the bikes, my class had a bunch of TU250X's that all worked fine.
>>15290235
I'll have to check those out, I want a set of riding jeans, I like the way the Rev'it!'s look, but I've got an Alpinestars jacket so I figure I should look at them for the zipper

Both parents actually, they had an extra ticket and I figured how bad could it be? Pretty bad it turns out.

When do you guys do your riding?
Besides my daily commute, I've been going completely ham on weekend mornings between 6AM-8AM.
Honestly, I would like to start even a little bit earlier - perhaps around 5AM.

kek, its easier to do logs if you stand up, i like that he has a gun too, i assume its so he can shoot trees when they make him crash.
thats what i would do with a gun which is probably why i don't own one i guess.

Still no car and nobike since my car hydrolocked. Fucking rain
Nothings been going my way, I keep getting headaches and I've been semi depressed after the fact.
I feel like such a burden to some of my work friends for asking for rides and shit.
I'm back to square one again and everything is just hard without MY OWN transportation.
I was really contemplating on being a hasbike year-round. And I've got enough so its not so bad so I'm able to buy whatber I need. The possibilities cheer me up but I'm still immobile and that harsh reality is fucking my days up.
I'm sick of being stuck inside too I even get headaches if I stay indoors too long!

Buy a cheap shitbike from the 80s/70s m8. Any issues that pop up aside from the engine locking up can easily be fixed in a day or two.
Decent shitbike, Y/N?

well these guys are pretty green, it was 25f out and everything was frozen and both sides of the road drop 30 feet so it wasnt really ideal for them to practice on.
also we usually carry because meth labs and mountain critters.
>>15290665
where you at?
>>15290693
how the hell did rain hydrolock your car?
>>15290709

Dead batteries are never fun.
>>15290709
>not running
>carbs need cleaning

so.. no
>>15290711

thats fucking extreme
>>15290722
the methed up bears are kinda problematic, but at least they dont have many teeth.

Drove through a puddle.
CAI filter is at the bottom of the wheel well, so it fucking absorbed water and well long story short it bent my piston rods.
So either pay 4000 for the labor and shit or move on

so its a fixable write off then?
just buy a new set of brakes from the wreckers, fit them yourself.

Is one of the instructors Hal? I took my MSF course at that same location last year.
And the basic course is all you need. The advance course isn't worth the money. You'll learn better practicing by yourself in a parking lot.
>>15290802
well, youre in the right general latitude
>>15290763
what kind of fucking retard designed that?
>>15290763
>CAI filter is at the bottom of the wheel well,
Self installed too I bet. I love hearing about these storys. Owners act all suprised when it happens too.

The """hydro shield""" was no help either.
I have 8.9k saved so I can get back on the road once I find something. Gotta get the gear first of course
>>15290807
Tomorrow is my last day so I can't really do anything anyways. I meant more in the way of it saving time and getting it out of the way quicker rather than being taught how to use a manual transmission again
I'm terrible with names, don't remember sorry.
