disgusting. I was in the market for a street triple but only the recent undertail years were popping up.

yes, i agree, i don't understand how people can watch anime in this day and age.
>>15343272

>>15343273
Nope. I sure didn't. I quoted the correct shit
>>15343265
>>15343262
I dont recall trying to pretend it wasn't me though. 3 days before that incident I got tasered in the heart in my house and they thought it was a good idea to send me straight back home. All that shit happened because I was on the wrong medication, american psychiatric system is a piece of shit. I decided to man up and deal with my problems without medication.

>>15343280
motogp is fun to watch if you like motorcycle and going fast.
>>15343281
good god i wanna talk about bikes, you're depressing the fuck outta me
>>15343273
Or worse, how people ride dangerous vehicles with absolutely no safety features. It's almost certain they'll be killed if there's an accident.
>>15343284
Lol. Ok kid
>>15343287
Feck off
This is some prodigal son shit right here
>>15343273
10k used really isn't that bad. I made friends with a guy in the weed business who was spending 4k a month on heroin while I was in Cali. I rather ride than eat. This guy also crashed 8 cars while high.
dont do drugts, squids.
>>15343289
>stop liking what i dont like
oh sorry!! i suggest you stay out of designated motorcycle specific threads if they're that triggering for you.
>>15343302
sounds like a good friend... :rollseyes:
>>15343287
s-sorry.
Last thing I'll say is when I got tasered in the heart I thought it was a bullet. I felt so relieved and at peace it still bothers me today. I literally experienced death so I'm thankful for every day and religious now. I literally live to ride now.
>>15343311

Idc though. Haters gonna h8
>>15343250
>>15343385
so they wave at nobody? why?
>>15343374
because they are unimpressed with your $3000 scooter

Damn bro I hope squidanon is much better now.
Cool guy.

I only paid 2700 for my klx, I guess that's true?
>>15343409
In all fairness they paid 20k for their sub-par performance machines.
>>15343391
They feel elite I guess. Don't bother me at all.
>>15343409
what's up kyklxanon
/dbt/ what did you do today?
I finished installing my front and rear turn signals, fender eliminator, flasher relay, and integrated tail/brake/signal light.
>>15343394

anonagale here, I fukin love spaghetti bikes. L-twin on point!
>inb4 L
>>15343417
I mean, half the reason I bought the klx is so that I can go ride trails in the mtns with my buddy, harley doesn't make a dual sport that I'm aware of. I've never owned an offroad vehicle before, just ridden along in other people's jeeps and trucks. Last week we went on a fairly mild jeep trail, and we were easily going faster than all the jeeps and OHV. It's so capable, I'm loving it!
>>15343432
I'm probably not the klxanon you're thinking of, but hello anyhow
>>15343444
Shame he didn't.
>>15343451
Any advice on buying a GoPro?
Not sure how long I should keep my 2012 BMW F800R for.
Was thinking of getting a cruiser next, like a Honda Valkyrie or Victory 8ball, should go for test rides sometime...
>>15343513
>I would if they were a bit cheaper
720p for dank webms, 1080 for YouTube money
More framerate=more better
Sv anon swears by his yi ching chong cam
>>15343513
What do you mean "advice buying a GoPro"? You just order one with the mounts you want and if need be read the manual before operating it.
>>15343554
Just anything I should know before buying. Maybe buying one used or mounting positions and accessories. Anything really.
>>15343513
Yeah, buy one online or at a brick and mortar store. Only use cash or credit, fuck writing out checks (what are you, my grandma?).
Make sure you have a GoPro in your checkout before you check out/go to the counter. Don't want to go up to the cute girl working and then realize you have nothing in your cart/basket.
Don't forget to finish the transaction. Pay for the damn thing. If they ask you if you like a receipt, make sure you throw that thing in the trash, you don't want all that BPA over your hands. You don't want to grow tits.

>>15343550
Too late I already forgot
>>15343559
When you're recording riding you want to have a centered position, preferably on the chin of your helmet. You also want to record the top of the bike but focus it on the road ahead. I see so many new recorders mount the camera in a way where half the screen is just the bikes instrument cluster and it's such a waste.
So mount on the chin of your helmet or your chest, someplace centered. Your helmet has the added benefit of recording where you look rather than fixed in front. Or you can mount in centered on your bike, but depending on what you ride that can be hard to do.
>>15343569
>>15343563
hit the twisties right away!
>>15343543
>Sv anon swears by his yi ching chong cam
That he had to modify to get proper focus. They are shit. Firmware is crap and buggy.
>>15343513
what part of NY is this?
>>15343559
That webm is a perfect example of how not to record. We see nothing but the road a few feet in front of him. The camera is also really shaky, likely wasn't a camera with any kind of decent image stabilization. GoPros don't have mechanical gyro stabilization, but they do have a really good digital stabilization. Probably the best digital stabilization on the market.
>>15343543
>720P webms
No you're doing it all wrong. No larger than 960x540 for webms
Also seeing these squid webms makes me wonder if 6hunnit anon is still here?

>>15343603

>>15343599
GoPros dont have any sort of inage stabilization. Im sure of it.
>>15343477

>>15343508
kek every time
>>15343599
>but they do have a really good digital stabilization. Probably the best digital stabilization on the market.
I've never noticed any image stabilization in gopro videos. It's just that the wide angle lens makes the little shakiness less noticeable.
CC81PT has some sony camera that has really good image stabilization.
>>15343513
Are you into post processing / editing?
GoPro raw footage doesn't look good, it delivers the best material for post processing / meant for professionals that know how to handle this.
https://youtu.be/aUHtnAYNzC0?t=14s
Do you have no idea how to edit? Get a SJ4000 or another chink cam, they deliver more colorful raw material that is worthless for editing but looks better than unedited GoPro footage.
>>15343597
Manhattan
>>15343599
It's a really shitty camera I got for $20 from Rite Aid. It only tilts in one direction so all it could record was the road. Hence why I'm in the market for a GoPro.
>>15343620
I only know the Belt and SIE, what road is it? I want to guess that it's near all those interchanges that lead to the GWB but Manhattan isn't that wide...
>>15343620
blue lights on your vehicle is illegal.
>>15343626

there's another klx400 anon?
Watching Assen. Nice that they're racing in the rain and not being pussy bitches like in F1. Whats with the fugly wings on the front though?
>>15343679
Thats not even fun you can't keep the tire on the ground. Learn to Rossi and use the back break to keep you down anon you'll be much faster.
>>15343695
keeps the front wheel down
>>15343695
You mean formula 1? Like F1 cars with RBR and Ferrari and shit... they race in the rain... What are you talking about?
>>15343692

>>15343715
Eh I get your point.
>>15343706
They start behind a safety car. They red flag to force everyone on wets, even though some teams just pitted to put them on. They drive half the wet race behind the SC. Thats the pussy bitch part.
>go on group ride
>they do the right turn signal (left arm 90° pointing up) when slowing down for a stop sign and then go straight
>not using the left arm at 90° pointing down to signal to slow down
>points over the head and to the right for a right turn
>>15343734
They do that if the track is swamped idiot they don't do that very often.
>>15343735
>go on group ride

That sounds pretty beastly. How do folks record sound so well on the roadside? All I have is my cell phone camera but I'm interested in getting a GoPro Hero 4 Silver.
>>15343815
Bring a microphone
>>15343807
No squiddy m8. I think he ded.
>>15343715
That thing sounds exactly like an F1 car off in the distance, now I want one even more.
>>15343815
If I do get a GoPro 4 Silver would I be able to record riding at night or do I really need the Black Edition?
>mfw someone owns/tolerates honda

I'm looking at Yamaha V-Stars. I haven't ridden in almost 10 years, but have been thinking a lot recently about getting back into it.
I just want to cruise around on the weekend, don't need crazy accelerations, don't intend to ride with groups or do anything stupid. Just cruise and enjoy.
Is the 250 fine? Or will I regret not going for the 950 even considering my purpose?

>>15344179
Get a used 250R instead and buy a middleweight when you're ready. They hold their value perfectly. I was looking at a 300F for my first bike too. If you really want the streetfighter look just take off the fairing like squidanon >>15344208
Does anyone else frequently check your tracking number as you anxiously await new parts, even though you know it won't arrive today?
>>15344183
Fuck no.
I'm the guy who rebuilt the Husaberg and promptly sold it, made $400 profit. Had Husky 610 with SV650 wheels before that.
>>15344183
Forgot pictures, I'm slow.
>>15344224
nope
>>15344238
do you like cast wheels better or spoked?
>>15344183
This bike was so awesome, too bad they're so maintenance intensive and unreliable...
Evens I take the highway home from the bar.
Odds I ride into the sticks for half an hour then try and find my way home.
>>15344252
I like the cast wheels better, because you can go tubeless with no extra parts.
But... if you dent it, you're fucked.
Spoked wheels for strength, cast if you want to save weight and go tubeless.
>>15344260
>ride into the sticks for half an hour then try and find my way home.
I love doing that. I have to travel a lot further away now though because I've learned most of the roads around my area.
>>15344260
>>15344269
I rolled evens but I'm going to do it anyways.
>>15344280
aint going to let no stinking computer tell you what to do!
>>15344265
essentially spokes if you're actually gonna go sumo with it and take it off jumps otherwise just get whatever you can that's affordable.
Then again, cast wheels will take some punishment of their own...
>>15344265
when you put the cast wheels on that bike were they a direct fit or did you have to make your own spacers? If so how did you make them?
>>15344295
Depends which cast wheels we are talking though....
The ones on that bike are not cast, they're forged and then CNC machined to shape.
Marchesini wheels are much stronger than an average cast sport bike wheel.
The new Warp9 wheels look pretty sweet, but they're expensive.
>>15344307
Custom spacers.
SV650 axles.
Machined the front hub to move the rotor inboard.
Cut the speedo drive off the fork leg (Bike uses magnetic speedo anyways)
GS500 Cush Drive on the SV650 wheel, with the bearing seal lip machined off, with a sealed bearing in the cush drive.
>>15344280
go sit on your dildo
>>15344308
>Marchesini wheels are much stronger than an average cast sport bike wheel.
Lol I hear a lot of people break them
>>15344321
I've been wanting to put my spare DRZ wheels in my other bike. Supposedly the rear fits right on with DRZ spacers but the front will need an axle reduction kit and custom spacers. How do you go about getting the measurements for making your spacers? Do you just center the wheel where everything looks lined up and measure the distance from the bearing/hub to the fork?
>>15344324
The magnesium ones break, but they are super light. The forged aluminium ones are strong.
>>15344346
magnesium is purty when lit on fire too
>>15344324
Saw lots of people with cracks there.
Haven't seen any actually break though.
Have seen broken cast wheels.. usually when they get dented.
Marchesini usually dents and still holds air from what I've seen.
Better than Husaberg reliability Haha.

>>15344357
Forgot my pic, it's been sitting in their showroom for a while.
>>15344344
Like I said, the front hub was machined to move the rotor inboard.
And SV650 axles are way smaller diameter than the Husky axles... like 17mm vs 25mm.
Picture is of the reducer I made for the rear wheel, between the brake hanger and wheel.
>>15344359
It's easier than most people think. Just dirty/frustrating. Things can get tough when working in small spaces though, or when parts stick together where they shouldn't.
>>15344366
but how do you figure out how wide of a spacer you need?
>>15344360
Is that new? Try to find one with an aftermarket pipe already installed, save you $600
>>15344378
You fuckin measure everything duh.
The rear wheel was easy as fuck, the sprocket and rotor had the same distance and offset as the stock wheel once I put the GS500 cush drive on it.
I made all my spacers in plastic first, to make sure everything fit, then remade them from 6061 aluminum.
>>15344382
Yeah it's new, hilariously enough they have a used one with a Yoshimura exhaust.
If I can't get a good quote I'll pick it up.

>>15344409
>honduh***
>>15344405
It's harder than changing your oil, but shouldn't be something you can't do yourself. The only way to learn it is to do it/practice. Buy some tire irons and try it.
>>15344435
Changing oil is literally easier than breathing.

How do you balance the tire?
KEK what a butthurt fag.
>>15344491
who are you quoting?
>>15344474
>Update
ok could
>>15344486
I didn't, I rode the bike, it didn't shake, so I didn't balance them.
But you can just put the wheel on the axle, and let it rotate on it's own, if it even does... and put weights at the top, let it rotate again.. add weight where needed etc... Just Google balancing a motorcycle wheel.

Shit m8, we could have been smoking weed, fuking kkks mum and hitting on jailbait.
I want an open face helmet, but as quiet as possible while still being 3/4. What get?
>>15344555
It was in San Jose
You can mail me weed and I'll flip the profit back to you though. $300 an ounce here in NYC. Cali weed is incomparable to the crap we have here.
i just saw a 701 enduro in the wild. it was glorious. but sounded really lame.

>$300
Shit m8, sometimes i get that shit for free.

Will any helmet + earplugs hold the noise back?
Just earplugs + safety glasses get unbearable over 70 mph.
>>15344604
Good earplugs alone will hold the noise back. half lids actually have the least wind noise since the noise is from the wind going through the helmet.
>>15344604
gotta go full tuck to keep the wind off you
>>15344604
Pls dont wear a helmet..
>>15344604
you're probably not putting the ear plugs in right
>>15344590
>chins aren't the highest hit percentage on the head.
>>15344612
I'm trying.
>>15344615
I compress them so they are thin and put deep in ear. Very quiet before wind gets mad fast.
>>15344616
Never crashed, so I wouldn't know that anyway, but

Lets just hope he crashes his cruiser cuck bike and dies
Do anti-perspirants help alot? I sweat like a bitch through my back. Does applying Axe to your armpits help with whole body, namely back and head?

Excesive sweat may be a clinical problem. I
