All the ones owned by people who don't take care of their bike.
>>15295836
Yeah I hate fair weather riding. It's too pleasant. Some people sleep on cushy mattresses but I prefer a bed of nails.

>>15295974
to yogurtland and the deli
Everettanon from yesterday here
Passed my test just fine, but I'm a dumbass and the bikes they have are yamaha eliminators, not suzuki intruders like I was saying yesterday. The bikes in the back were a dr250 and an older hyosung comet
2 people failed; one chick who did fine enough during practice but got super anxious because it was a formal test and was going over lines and shit too much
The other was an old guy in his 60s riding a scooter. He did great during practice and whatnot, used to ride bikes as well. He went way too ham during the quick brake test, grabbed both brakes too hard and highsided over the handlebars

Yesterday I took the DR650 down to Knoxville to this one cart track. Had fun but it was rather toasty. After that, I roamed the countryside and then had a good pork tenderloin over in Prarie City. Then I went home and played vidya. Still need to change the oil in the thing and clean/lube the chain again, but it's toasty out.

>>15296327
wow rude
>>15296335
You guys don't have the 250 or something?
Get the orange one so they don't hit you in traffic.
I just flunked the MSF course. I guess I went 10 feet too far on the quick stop and they gave me 15 points for that, and the bike wouldn't shift down to 1st, so I got another 5 points and flunked. The instructor said I'd have to retake the whole course again and I'm not allowed to only take the evaluation, but the MSF website says I'm allowed to just retake the evaluation if I flunk.
What should I do?
>>15296345
>truly scooter tier
That hurts anon. I'm restricted to a 125 by law.
>>15296349
We have it. I don't realky like the orange colour. Surely it's not gonna matter that much?

I'm not going to pay the whole price again though because MSF says I can do the eval again for free. Did the instructor make a mistake or am I SOL.
>>15296329
DEAR GOD PLEASE NO
I'm a poor euro student, i live in one of these typical tiny old european cities (i'm talking 5 km from my house to my uni). I do about 11000 km (~7000 mi) yearly on a motorcycle, and 80% of that is urban riding. I wanna buy a new bike. I'm 6'2", 220 lbs. Do i get a TDM 850 or an SV 650?
Now i can sell both of my bikes. No need to ride irl.
>>15296345
Scooters are faster
>>15296372
It really depends on the people running that particular class
>>15296371

Oh Bairdo you're in va?

>>15296378
I'd go with the TDM.

>>15296416
No, if you insist on buying a new bike pretending to be an old bike grab a Street Twin.
>>15296387
People who pretend to be motorcycle naturals are either extremely poor riders who don't realise how bad they are or nobikes.

>>15296443
>>15296447
life is shit atm, i might commit sudoku if it doesnt go my way.
jk i cant go on in life without ever being hasbike.
everything is just very very frustrating without transportation
>>15296461
i added you, have fun and stuff
>>15296170
Thanks, anon.
Definitely nothing to be nervous about. The entire first day of ride time was like 80% how2manualtransmission. On the actual test it seemed like most people had trouble with running a bit wide on the u-turns, but definitely weren't running as wide as they were when doing the figure 8's during practice/lessons.
It's definitely more than enough practice for someone new. A few friends and people in the class who'd never even touched a bike before passed just fine. I think the worse part was the cone weaving at the beginning when you're not comfortable with the bike yet, but when you're comfortable enough to pick up speed it's super easy. There was one guy who needed constant coaching/extra practice during breaks who I was sure was gonna fail, but still passed. Based on what the basic course was, if you're comfortable with manual transmissions, hooning, and can ride a bicycle, you may even be able to just do the 8 hour intermediate course.
thanks for adding me to the dbt map austrian :)
yolo to all my deebeetee senpai - if you're ever in phoenix and need help getting your car fixed i run a professional repair shop in All White Tukee its really high volume and we do good work. This translates to I have any kind of tool you could imagine at my disposal and im down to personally come help.
Of course there's always the riding thing we can do too x)
>>15296464
Well yeah. Transportation is fun bro, plus you can probably run the bridges and enjoy the scenery on a bike.
What bikes are you looking at? You can buy a bike without having the MSF class
>>15296465
Thanks man, and sorry for the trouble. Get some sleep m8.
>>15296384
I'm gonna call up tomorrow and ask but I'm probably out of luck.
>>15296387
I didn't get a single point on anything else so I don't think failing 1 exercise means I'm an incompetent rider.
>>15296468
Do you know how to rebuild a transmission?
I am too fucking lazy to rebuild mine
>>15296468
yeah no prob dude
>>15295974
Went to work so I can check up on the dog. He was a little low on food but I fixed that. Went home after.
>>15296471
i think ill keep listening to super eurobeat and lurking the /dbt/ until i pass out, but thanks
>>15296466
this, I haven't even touched a bike before the msf course but have only driven a manual car my whole life. I had no problems passing and from what i saw, the only thing the others had trouble with was understanding how a manual transmission worked.
Just upgraded to this sexy bike, 2013.Suzuki M90. Military guy traded it in at 1k because he got deployed, and it's barely broken in. Talked the price from 8k to 6k. It's so comfy to ride and is a panty dropper.
Plus it's 0-60 is way fast. I blazed out a few sport bikes at a stoplight yesterday.
>>15296470
What's the point of doing that if I can't ride it?
I was looking at dual sports and sportbikes.
Dual sport because well I thought that makes a better DD to ride year round especially during the winter.

Tucson AZ, so it would be air force. Military towns are amazing for finding barely used bikes at great prices because these 18 year olds buy nice bikes with their new income then get transferred or deployed or knock someone up and sell it.
>>15296554
Lol no. Just most of dbt will give you shit for having a cruiser.
Although there's plenty of cruiser riders here m8.
All in all its a nice bike

you can shut right the fuck up anon. THIS RIDE WILL NEVER END.... plz lord

>>15296559

To everyone in /dbt/ DO NOT ORDER FROM XRS ONLY unless you absolutely have to
>>15296569
I mean I own a sport bike too, so w/e. Cruisers are great IMO.
>>15296571
No, you can always get a lowering link. If you're 6'1" skeletor like me they're easy to flatfoot, you may have a tad of trouble or need to tiptoe on some of the taller DS.
Some say lowering bikes changes the geometry but if that's what you need, that's what you need
>>15296571
No, DSs aren't ridiculously tall like real dirt bikes and the suspension compresses a fair amount.
>>15296579
Agreed. But haters gonna h8 m8
Where the fuck does the term squid even come from ? I can't quite see the relationship between mollucs and unequiped people.

Well that DRZ400s didn't go so hot, how's this KLX400? Very few miles. In a warzone though, like 80 minutes away.

>>15296634
Your tiny dick
>>15296630
Teaches them right for speeding like children
>>15296627
What happened with the DRZ? :(
That KLX looks like a steal though. That'd be a $4000 bike easy at least in my area.
>>15296609
When they get torn in half from a 150+ mph hit the guts hanging from their torso look like squid tentacles. Or it's a shortening of "squirrelly kid" used to talk about new riders who can't keep their shit straight. Depends on who you ask.
Beginning rider here.
Just have a quick question. I have a 2014 bike which I purchased new from a dealer back in April. I've put a couple thousand miles on it and use it to commute and take little weekend road trips around my state. Last night, after taking a spin over to Detroit, Windsor, and then back home to mid-Michigan, I had the heat shield over my silencer fall off. It looks like one of the bolts rusted off and then the other two followed. I retrieved the part off the side of the road and have it in my room.
I know that I don't necessarily need a heat shield but my bike looks awful without it.
Is this a problem the warranty should cover? I'm a little pissed.
>>15296588
I just don't want to lose my balance on the damn thing whilst in city traffic m8.
Anyways what models can a noob get?
>>15296578
Fuck xrs only, I ordered a new choke plate from them in december cuz the one on my xr600 was already starting to break off. Shit took for fucking ever, and starting my bike in the cold was not fun. Pic related is the evil fucker that can wreck your shit.
>>15296655
put new bolts in it you pussy
>>15296655
They may or may not cover it, but unless the dealership is super scummy they should at least throw you the right bolts for free
>>15296193
mang it's super easy to scrub chicken strips off sport tires. A good sport touring tire could give you the same amount of usable grip while lasting significantly longer.
>>15296688
Obviously I'll do that once a store opens that I can buy bolts from. However, I'd prefer getting a new heat shield that isn't covered in scratches.
Thankfully it looks like I can get a replacement on eBay for $20-$30.
>>15296629
>>15296630
>>15296652
Thanks.
Never seen more besides a guy who pretty much lost his head, imagining someone being gutted open by the road sounds ... fun, to say the least.

Pretty much any dual sport will be fine for a new rider, if you only plan on doing short rides and off road check out the WR250R, KLX 250, DRZ400S, or DR350. If you want more roads and highway riding look for DR650, XR650L, KLR650, and if you're a Eurofag the XT660.
>>15296738
The DR650 is lower than the DRZ also
>>15296644
Someone had an appointment before me and nabbed it.
They were the same price, was gonna lowball the yellow DRZ to 2100, but whatever.
That clean asf KLX I would try and get for maybe 2.2-3k, who knows. Baltimore is just such a shithole that I wouldn't be surprised if I got mugged. Perhaps I'll call him and discern how he sounds.
Any ideas to jew a price down? You're good at that.
>>15296671
The only reason I stuck it out was I wanted the billet one instead of a replacement Magnesium one.
I won't be ordering from them again if I can help it.

I bought my er6n new in 2009 as my first bike.
have had it since. 52k enjoyable miles and headgasket went out yesterday. Dealership offered me $1200 on trade in which i guess isn't bad.
Trying to decide what to get. Thinking a lot about the 2016 Honda Interceptor. Thoughts?
>>15296750
i usually just throw an offer of like $500 or $600 less than asking price. When they say they can't take that I'll ask what they "need" out of it. Then usually offer $100 or $200 less than that unless its just a couple hundred above my offer.
Obviously though I use anything wrong I find as reasons to haggle price.

>>15296776
Fair enough, thanks for that.
I'll see if I can try and use an out of state registration fee excuse to jew lower, but your second "need" offer idea is brilliant.
>>15296769
Hot
>>15296769
All jokes aside the vfr is p. good
Not the 1200, though...
That was a proper disappointment, especially the auto one
The 800 is really cool, though
>>15296720
Pretty much this >>15296727
I've read stories of the shit they can do, mine was barely starting to break.
>>15296759
Their shipping costs are pretty crap too, which is a shame because there is so much stuff I wanna by for my 600, but I can't justify the cost. Shit sux mang.

Reducing quality by 10% saved 30% in file size.

that one looks a lot better than mine

And I'm the guy who keeps asking you how much you paid and ends up forgetting anyways.

So with my busted foot I ride my step brothers kx 80 for the first time, Nd the little thing is kicking. Its fucking tiny but really fun. And it made me realise a short bike isn't comfy to me any more. Are there any dedicated street bikes with high seats? Like, a 6'2" guy could barely flat foot it high? Or am I stuck with super motards and dual sports?
do motorcycles have more traction than cars in the wet?
>>15297016
>Like, a 6'2" guy could barely flat foot it high
Doesn't exist, I can flat foot anything. But if you want tall and comfy look into ADV bikes, Tigers and GSs will probably be what you're looking for.
>>15297049
Depends on tires, but I doubt it.
>>15297049
Nobody here rides in the rain
>>15297060
motorcycles dont really hydroplane in a straight line, do they?
>>15297073
Yup. At the right speed they will.
>>15297049
I guess it's comparable as far as traction goes.
The problem is that even if you lose traction on all four tires in a car the car just tends to keep going in the same direction, maybe starts spinning. The second any tire on a motorcycle loses traction all hell breaks loose (compared to a car).
>>15297073
If you start to hydroplane, you won't stay in a straight line for very long.
>>15297073
yeah they will, specially because they have no downforce
