Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

It really is too bad, I used to take photos there back when they had supermoto and drifting. Then once I got into supermoto it was no longer.

Loved it! Maybe not as fast as the competing guys on full mx bikes that were converted. No issues with maintenance or anything breaking other than swapping out the coolant for something track friendly. At the time I had a full SM wheelset and front 4pot Braking caliper with 320m rotor and master all bled so it was a quick swap. I plated my WR so I would swap back and forth so I could road some forest roads and trails too. I still have the WR but not the SM setup, sadly I never really ride it anymore.

 

heeey gents got two things!

one the ninja 400 ive been watching finally went on auction so lets hope it goes for as little as the last one! because this time im trying for it!

other thing is what kinda phone do you all have? i know not motorcycle related but im not a big phone person really i mainly focus on if the camera is good or not. im not looking at the newest phones out there either im looking at ones that have had a screen replaced and fixed and sold for cheaper atm im between the Samsung s22 and the google pixel 7 pro (currently have a iphone 8 plus yes that old phone) idk anyone with a google so if anyone has one let me know your thoughts on it! id also like to know thoughts on a s22!

 

We're back to our normal temps....nice 47 this morning........gonna be back up in the mid 60's next week.

 

I'm likely an outlier in the phone realm. Kyocera Duraforce Pro 2 user here. Ruggedized smart phone usually favored by contractors, EMTs, law enforcement types. The camera is okay in light situations not too good in low light. However, no need for a case, aluminum body with sapphire glass screen so no need for a case or screen protector. All ports have silicone O-ring seals so it's waterproof to I think 6 feet and can use the camera underwater. Mine has slipped out of a RAM X-grip mount on my handlebars and slid down the shoulder of an interstate off ramp about 20 feet from 30mph with almost zero notable damage. One small corner of the outside case has a small chip. Long battery life and has a micro USB slot to increase memory and storage capacity. Biggest plus was the sub $500 price brand new. I think they have a newer version offering 5G but the price is far higher that the one I have.

 

ya ive seen those phones but since my focus is always on photos i always look away from them since i want a good "point and shoot phone" for when i dont have my camera. that phone is cool thou a buddy of mine has it and its very strong!

 

Good luck with the 400, what kind of shape is it in?

My totaled FZ-09 ended up on one those auction sites and I think it sold for $1200 or something like that... not sure if that was with or without the added fees

 

the last 400 sold for 450 the other went to 800 they are not popular here so not wanted all that much but we shall see ya know!

the bike is overall good shape it was stolen so the ignition is destroyed the rear seat is missing and two small tail bits are missing but other then that its all together with little to no damage. when its warmer next week ill go see it at the yard atm its back to -10s.. and snowy lol

also that would be without the fees. if i got the bike for lets say 500 id pay about 700 for it

 

I've got an s22, great phone. And any pictures you see from me on the forum are taken with it.

 

ya ive looked at its specs and its a great phone atm im leaning towards the pixel since its camera is better then the s22 and s23 and that is what makes me choose phones lol

 

forgot to add a pic so as you can see it has some scuffs below the ninja logo up front and also the passenger seat is gone and both side plastic thigs? idk how both of those go missing then it will need a new ignition because the screwdriver well screwed it!

 

S23 ultra. These photos were taken from the same spot. 10x optical zoom with 100x digital zoom with what I can only assume is AI to fill in the missing info. It's stupid impressive

 

ya ive seen what the s23 and other newer phones can do its impressive for sure! sadly the s23 is close to 500 on the referb site and thats more then im wanting to spend or it would be the s23 vs the pixel 7

 

Pixel 7 for sure, its going to be the purest android you will experience, software updates will be the quickest out of any manufacture. Converted my ex GF from an iphone 8 to a pixel 7 and she loves it. The startup process on the Pixel phone we literally plugged the iphone directly into the pixel and it transferred everything including texts (took a bit to process everything). Just make sure you disassociate iMessage on your iphone BEFORE moving to the android.


If I had to buy a phone RIGHT now, it would be a Pixel followed closely by a Moto G 5G depending on budget (Motorola used to be owned by Google - now lenovo - but they have kept a very google nexus/pixel phone mindset of a pure android OS without much extra branding / BS bloatware apps)

 

I'm still rockin the S8.
That zoom is very impressive.

 

thanks man! was hopeful someone in here had one so i could hear more on it haha! and man she went from an iphone 8 as well! so uhh how many did she warranty... ive had 4!

 

That's good if it was just a theft recovery and not badly crashed. Would be nice if you could here it run and make sure the frame looks ok.

Much better shape than mine was though... I went back to find the link and surprised to see the pics are still there but final price is hidden:

ya agreed i was looking online to see how to make it run without a key buuuuut its been under snow for like a week or two now so its battery is gonna be dead af! imma hopefully go out next week when its 40 woot heat wave! also would anyone know what those tail section bits are called?

damn! that thing is squished! glad you made it out of that one!

go figure the first link is blocked its ebay lmao ill look into cheaper but ill prob do oem since i mean its a brand new bike haha thanks thou man!

 

I have no clue where thoes are produced. You may be able to find them cheaper if made out of the US. I have found parts for the CRF in Thailand(where they're produced) cheaper with shipping than going to the dealer.

I also found white body pieces on Partzilla for a whole lot cheaper than even Thailand.
