They have every season i think
They used to at least
Anyway I’m absolutely pissed because my brother wanted to go and watch an aeroplane show, and dragged me with him so I missed an absolutely massive Ferrari meet-up down my road 😭
I got a few pictures of them leaving but they’re shit quality
Like this

@cyan wind check out my group ride
fossil gulch
RSV4, R1, R6, ZX10R, ZX6R, 650, Z1000 and a ninja 400🤣
cyan wind
yeah i'm not surprised
fossil gulch
Mofos where doing 260km/h pulls
cyan wind
reminds me of that 125 v 300 meme
fossil gulch
Most of these people are still on their temp/leaners license lmao
cyan wind
learners on a litre? no shot lmfao
fossil gulch
Thé R6 and RSV4 are
fossil gulch
But there’s no need to get the full license since the only restrictions are no passengers
So some have had their learners for two or three years
fossil gulch
It does but you can just renew your permit like any other license
cyan wind
ah i see
fossil gulch
But honestly, some of those guys shouldn’t have been riding 400’s let alone 1000cc super sports
Mofos leaning the wrong way in turns going 150
Or having a larger slow speed turning circle than a semi
Hehehe motorcycle boob
Also if you do group rides with a straight-pipe or short can exhaust, fuck you

i never liked really loud bikes icl
doesn't make it sound nicer lmao
fossil gulch
i never liked really loud bikes icl
Yeah, loud doesn’t equal good
Basically everyone there had an aftermarket exhaust and most wherent much louder than stock until you rev’d the shit outta the bike
But one guy had some aliexpress ass short can that was obnoxiously loud at idle and even worse at any load
tough crypt
fossil gulch
not very good lmao
One of the guys crashed trying to lane split
And then couldn’t pick his bike up because he didn’t know how to do it properly 
cyan wind
jesus christ
fossil gulch
Well not exactly lane splitting, he tried passing on the shoulder and didn’t see a giant piece of metal and lost the front end
That was my reaction too
Don’t really think I’ll ride with them much in the future imo
fossil gulch
Here’s a better photo of the bikes
fossil gulch
it seems big rides just end up being a massive liability
Honestly, if you aren’t good mates with the other riders or don’t have a good understanding of the type of riding you’ll be doing, then yeah group rides are stupidly dangerous at times
Like this was sold to me as a « beginner friendly » ride
cyan wind
lmfao right
pseudo gull
mmmm tempted
fossil gulch
mmmm tempted
Fuckin send it
pseudo gull
only issue is, i can’t get the full license for another 4 months or so
so it would just be sitting
fossil gulch
Ooof
When I bought my 400, I didn’t ride it until 8 months later because of winter
If it’s a killer deal than why not
fossil gulch
If it’s a genuinely good deal and it’s a bike you actually want and can afford then why not
I almost bought one of these today
Which out the door would have been around the equivalent of 10k gbp
But the non monkey part of my brain told me I should demo one first
fossil gulch
it’s fairly cheap for an R, it’s just under £8k
I’d just be worried about insuring the bloody thing

They aren’t that horrible, it’s actually like only 2k more than a verseys or Vstrom

If used F750’s existed, I’d prefer to go that route
But I straight-up can’t find any

Yeah
fossil gulch
I can get a used F650Gs for like 5k Cad (or like 2.5k GBP) but I don’t like the look of ‘em
And it’s an old German bike which is sus
They just looked like a KLR with a body kit

i love them, but j currently have one so i want something a little different
mines the 660 a2 one though, hence why i want to upsize
twin belfry
fossil gulch
i love them, but j currently have one so i want something a little different
The. 1200 rr or the 600?
pseudo gull
it’s a 660 triple
slightly smaller than the 675, because of the limiter it only make like 47 horsepower
fossil gulch
Upsize to the RR
pseudo gull
don’t tempt me
fossil gulch
slightly smaller than the 675, because of the limiter it only make like 47 horse...
Less horsepower than my 400
#justMOTthings
The 675R is a pretty nice bike tho, haven’t seen any IRL tho
But modern British bikes besides the tiger are all non existent here
But why not something like an R6/R7 or ZX6R if you’re going down the super sport route?
pseudo gull
Less horsepower than my 400<:willmao:680360271801352192>
thanks european license restrictions, very cool!
pseudo gull
But why not something like an R6/R7 or ZX6R if you’re going down the super sport...
the r6 is something ive been looking at
but as a road package the 675 triple is arguably better, it’s a lot punchier thanks to not revving as high
plus i’m a massive triumph simp
and as a way worse idea i’ve been considering a 1098

The problem I have with a lot of those bigger super sports is that you’ll never use more than like a third of the power
pseudo gull
yeah that’s my problem with them too

they’re, what, 70k?
I saw a few for 25k CAD today

Too bad that dealer specifically has a reputation (that I can confirm first hand) of being scummy asswipes

They are both really good bikes
Or go big and get a turbo busa

i’ve spent a decent amount of time on both on tracks and i love them both

Busa’s in the UK are stupidly cheap for reasons I don’t get

i’ve always been more of a super blackbird guy though tbh
aside from those ugly mirrors
fossil gulch
The gsxr 750 or the baby firebird are pretty neat bikes as well but a bit boring
pseudo gull
as a whole i’m not a fan of hondas for some reason
aside from the cbr1100xx of course
same with suzuki, they just don’t do it for me
fossil gulch
Honestly, same
The only Suzuki that does it for me is the Vstorm and that’s mostly because it’s a good grand or two cheaper than the other ADV’s
pseudo gull
i’m not a huge adventure bike guy as a whole so i can’t say ive looked into it
i do like the sv650 when it comes to suzuki though
fossil gulch
The sv650 or the gladius (which are basically the same bike) are great beginner bikes

Hmm… speed triple vs mt09

not sure if i can restrict the mt09, but i like the speed triple more
probs less reliable

Hmm… speed triple vs mt09
It’s not the same type of bike but an MT09

Ah
fossil gulch
The MT-09 or the MT10SP would be my pick if I had to get a naked bike

for me it's either a cb650r, speed triple or versys
between that, or me and my dad fix up his old kawasaki and i have that with a restrictor
fossil gulch
for me it's either a cb650r, speed triple or versys
Why not the tiger 660?
cyan wind
haven't thought of it really
fossil gulch
They look pretty damn good
I had them shortlisted but dealer support here is pretty bad
cyan wind
going through reviews apparently they're good
fossil gulch
It seems like it’s just an ADV street triple

it depends really, if i'm travelling alot then it's between the tiger, versys or the tenere
i like the look of all of them

Which honestly isn’t a bad thing

the tiger 900 is literally 3.9hp off of being a2 restrictable <:alonsad:78480127...
I wonder if that’s why they make an 850
cyan wind
lmfao no kidding
wait no sorry i'm wrong
the a2 restriction is 94bhp, so it is restrictable
fossil gulch
Yeah, usually when there’s a .9 it’s cause of some legal restrictions
cyan wind
yeah
fossil gulch
Hence also why the ninja 400 is 399
Which cool for Japan, sucks for me because I need to do my exam on a 400cc bike at minimum
fossil gulch

cyan wind
you may get off on a technicality, so fingers crossed
this is what i wish i had with 125's, actual options lmao
fossil gulch
this is what i wish i had with 125's, actual options lmao
It’s weird options cause you get punished for starting on a smaller bike
cyan wind
i can definitely feel it
fossil gulch
If you show up to the exam on a 125 well you get limited to a 125 and you have to retake the exam if you want a bigger bike
If you show up with a 400 or less, then 400 is your limit
cyan wind
that kinda sucks
fossil gulch
Even tho your “probationary” license training is done on 500-650’s
So you qualify me as being capable of riding a 650 but if I chose to do my second exam on a 400 then somehow I’m no longer qualified
Huh
cyan wind
yeah that makes zero sense
fossil gulch
Tiered training while frustrating makes sense at least,
fossil gulch
Nah, if I can ride a rebel 500 I can ride a busa with a passenger

The whole tracer line infact just straight-up isnt sold here anymore
cyan wind
yeah it's a sticky one for the other side of the pond
what do you even usually have over there?
fossil gulch
Most of the time it's the same as the EU line-up minus the 125's
Honda and Yamaha tho like to pull le epic pranks and not release all their models
cyan wind
yeah i seriously don't get that
cyan wind
i was gonna say, i'd hope atleast you can access the dirt bikes lol
fossil gulch

it's quite budget friendly isn't it

I think BMW is the only major brand to have the exact same catalog
Since they don't do 125s
or any small displacements besides 310
cyan wind
yeah, i'd say it'd be interesting to see a 125 line from them but it'd just be a dumbed down 310
fossil gulch
For the price of any other brands 400
wait Ducati have the same product catelog too
but its the same thing, they don't make small bikes
Or commuter bikes
cyan wind
yeah if ducati made 125's they'd be priced like no other
anything above like 3000 for a 125 is just mental
cyan wind
that's surprising
fossil gulch
Tho a depowered 950 supersport kinda sounds sad
cyan wind
atleast with a2, when you get your full A you can just unrestrict it and brrr
fossil gulch
Or just go to your mates house and have them reflash it
And hope the cops don't pull you over
The right way to experience a ducati is to have it be detuned
Which ok
thats a take
cyan wind
Or just go to your mates house and have them reflash it
that'd be great if i knew i was never gonna crash / get caught

I can't imagine the ZX4R is a good seller in the UK then
cyan wind
i've not seen one
tbf i don't see many 400's, like at all
it's usually 300's, the odd 650+ or 125's
fossil gulch
Honestly, same. But for the inverse reason
You'll see alot of 650-1000's but not that many 400s
I don't think I've seen an R3 yet and I've seen 3-5 400's on the road
cyan wind
over here it's either mopeds, 125's or litre's
fossil gulch
There not that many liter bikes here
cyan wind
600's more than anything i imagine
fossil gulch
Since most of the popular ones have a 2k a year plating fee
You;ll see a fuck ton of 1200+ cruisers
and alot of 650's/700/800
cyan wind
for sure

The FRJ is surprisingly one of the most common bikes ive seen outside the island
That and the MT-7/9
cyan wind
are groms as popular as i think they are or not really over there
fossil gulch
I've never seen one
Montreal is an awful city for them
Since driving here requires a full lobotomy and use of the highways (which groms legally cannot enter)
fossil gulch
like someone will straight up use the left lane as parking during rush hour
or turn left from the outermost lane of a 3 lane road
cyan wind
for being on the roads for as such little time as i have, it's genuinely surprising how bad drivers are over here
fossil gulch
We even have a 70km/h road where no one, and I mean no one will do less than 100. The cops straight-up will not ticket you for it
fossil gulch

Well for one, everyone drives on the wrong side of the road so its not surprising /s
cyan wind
very true, hate when everyone is driving on the wrong side of the road
fossil gulch
if you wanna try to kill someone from NA, just get them to drive on one of y'alls like 30 lane roundabouts
cyan wind
i find the multiple roundabouts way more scary than the 3 lanes lmao
fossil gulch
I don't mind them when theyre well designed. a few highways near me use them to manage various exits and its so much less stressful. But my hometown has stoplights at the exits of roundables and that shit is god awful
Its not a single roundabout btw, its 4 in series, all of which have their own sets of traffic lights
cyan wind
I don't mind them when theyre well designed. a few highways near me use them to ...
at the exits? that's weird
fossil gulch
Its statically the most accident prone intersections per capita in the entire province
cyan wind
we usually have them in the middle of the roundabouts
fossil gulch
Quite literally on the exit
cyan wind
💀
hold on
we usually we usually have them like this on 3 lanes, before / after exits
cyan wind
yeah, i only blurred mine cus it's my home city lmao
cyan wind
ah i see, we just moved ours to the middle cus we wanted to be different i guess
fossil gulch
It makes more sense
we have space for one or two cars and it ends up blocking both lanes
since both lanes carry forward out of the round about
cyan wind
for sure
fossil gulch
Its less cursed than the one highway exit in this whole province that exits from the left instead of the right
cyan wind
that's mental lmao
fossil gulch
It makes sense since its leaving an elevated highway but christ is it kinda jaring the first time you hear "turn left to exit the highway"

that's what i always hear to exit a highway ironically

Insurance cheaper here 
so most used prices have the insurance included
so thats 7k usd with insurance
fossil gulch
wait, how does that work
cyan wind
insurance included? that's sick
fossil gulch
Insurance here is based on the individual not the bike
fossil gulch
Do you not need individual insurance to ride on the street?
tulip bramble
not really no
cyan wind
that's mad
tulip bramble
so most used prices have the insurance included
usually only 3 years of free insurance
fossil gulch
Here you pay a plate fee which covers some insurance stuff (like lost wages in case of an accident and medical stuff) and you need your own personal insurance to cover damages to the vehicle of whatever poor sod you hit
tulip bramble
then you’ll pay the next insurance after the 3 years
fossil gulch
Both of which are yearly fees
And you have to pay extra to get your bike covered for damages, extra for theft, extra for gap...
To get my bike fully covered by both would be 1100 bucks a year
And thats dirt cheap
cyan wind
i've never heard of insurance with the bike, that's kinda cool
fossil gulch
I'm guessing it does exist but its not required
tulip bramble
i've never heard of insurance with the bike, that's kinda cool
I’m not sure if it applies to bikes as well, but it is how it is with some cars, so I’ll assume its the same with bikes
3 years of free insurance, then you pay the next years after
fossil gulch
Ok, so personal insurance for cars and bikes does exist in PH
cyan wind
over here i think you just start your insurance on the bike the day you buy it? idk tbf
fossil gulch
You start it whenever you wanna put it on the road
Unless you want theft or damage coverage
My plan only runs from may till october for instance
Because otherwise its winter and not needed
If you buy a new bike on finance, GET GAP COVERAGE
cyan wind
i don't think i'd ever buy a bike on finance, but what's gap coverage anyway
fossil gulch
i don't think i'd ever buy a bike on finance, but what's gap coverage anyway
So if you scrap your bike and its worth X and you have Y more to pay, then gap coverage will cover whatever is left between X and Y. So if you owe 10K and your bike is calculated to be worth 5K then gap will pay the extra 5k
so you aren't stuck paying off 5k for a scrap cube
tulip bramble
Ok, so personal insurance for cars and bikes does exist in PH
