Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

I don't mind hurt, but broken sort of pisses me off.

 

I know 2 guys with screws in their bodies because of dirt bikes. I always stayed away from them because of the crazy injuries.

So far on my dual sport every crash has tossed me into the ground at low speed. Very mild bruises.

 

I've got an elbow that doesn't quite straighten out thanks to a dirt bike crash. After 55 years, I've grown used to it. ;-)

 

I have 2 plates and 18 screws in my arm from a rock climbing fall. Never broke a bone skating but plenty of soft tissue damage. Worst injuries by far from mountain biking... couple of broken collarbones, ribs, and an elbow, multiple concussions. Plenty of "skin in the game", well... on the ground.

 

broken for sure sucks haha

 

someone tell me no... found a z650 in a matte green for like 5k with 2500 miles on it... no i wont be paying cash for it.... id be getting a small loan for it and its barely 100 bucks a month from my bank.

not the exact bike but same color scheme.

 

This post should have started with............."Look what I just bought......."

GTFOH and don't come back til we can see a receipt

 

Really? You expect this group to tell you to NOT buy a bike? You must be new here.

 

lmao i know but trying to talk my self out of it lmao overall its cheap and more or less what im fine with spending on a bike haha. good for daily riding and to have the gf on the back and ride around with.

 

I wouldn't put a passenger on the back of that. Looks unpleasant to sit back there. Then again, I won't take a passenger on any bike, so what do I know?

 

its better then a super sport lol i wont ever own a cruiser since im not a fan of how they look.. so a more upright sport bike thats comfy will be the best.

 

Seat is a fairly simple problem to address. There are some good custom seat makers who can build you a better seat using the stock seat pans.

 

ya ive seen a few that look pretty nice. pricey but nice lol

 

I wasn't suggesting a cruiser, however, you're dislike of the classic cruiser look does lower my opinion of you. Be better. Jokes aside, I'd just look for something that was a bit more passenger conscious. Nobody wants to sit on a butt plug.

If it's a tiny little sliver for the pan I'm not sure what you can do to add real estate without completely ruining the lines of the bike.

 

This^^^ lol

 

Chicks don’t care about how uncomfortable the seats are until they’re your wife then they start to complain about it . They are just happy to have something between their legs.

 

The small cruisers are fun I wouldn't rule them out completely. The key is getting one with mid-controls, forward controls feel awkward and make for a very different experience. Besides the Bolt I've owned only sport bikes but loved riding that thing. It's the only bike I felt I was riding close to its limit dragging the pegs off in corners. To me the looks of a cruiser are classic motorcycle, but yeah not as cool as other segments.

As far as two-up non of my bikes were ideal for that... the passenger gets a small pad to sit on and they're generally cramped behind you with their legs at a tight bend. The Bolt was far from roomy, but the low seat height and back rest made a big difference, this is the bike my wife liked riding on the most and I don't blame her lol

 

ive never been a fan of cruisers tbh... they just look like old man bikes tbh.. there has been a few that i have liked but unsure if i would actually buy ya know. plus im buying well for me lol so naked bikes are fun and neat to me.

also its not a butt plug lmao

ive just never liked the looks tbh.. its just personal thing tbh.. so it would be a hard one to find one that i truly like and would buy haha

also i cant see your pic lol

 

the bolt is neat looking but unsure if i would buy one tbh since i like a certain style of riding and unsure if it would be something comfortable with me.

 

Never really considered buying kawi anything, but the component spec, features and look of that bike are damned good! Bike looks good and will be a hoot to ride (naked sport bikes bring out the hooligan in all who ride em... trust me). If that style of bike is something you want send it!


(this fuggin guy coming in here expecting us to tell him not to buy a bike...... get dafuq outta here)
