I mean it’s normal with those big bikes

cyan wind
#

yeah tbf i could barely flat foot my dads versys

fossil gulch
#

Pretty sure even if you’re 7ft you still couldn’t flat foot a KTM1290 adv

cyan wind
#

yeah that's damn true

#

fuckin small car type deal they are

fossil gulch
#

Tilting it isn’t that bad buuuuuuuuut I don’t wanna sacrifice EAS or pay thousands to get it working for my short ass

cyan wind
#

real

#

how tall are you again

fossil gulch
#

Like 5’8

cyan wind
#

ah right

fossil gulch
#

Ideally something like a 1000sx or GSX100R-GT would be a perfect sport touring

#

Buuuuuuuuuut I want the upright riding position and some off-road capability

cyan wind
#

i honestly didnt even think suzuki would make tourers

fossil gulch
#

It’s a gixxer with panniers

cyan wind
#

sounds about right

fossil gulch
#

Same with the 1000sx

#

It’s a super sport that’s been chilled just enough to fool the gov and insurance

cyan wind

fossil gulch
#

So I need y'all opinion on an argument we've been having on a different server

iron epoch
#

I love arguments

#

go ahead

fossil gulch
#

Would a Speed triple 1200 RR be a good enduro bike

iron epoch
#

yeah definitely ( i know nothing about bikes)

cyan wind
fossil gulch
#

smh, we're trying to convince someone on another server to turn his into an ADV bike

#

Because he wants to buy a thruxton final 💀

tulip bramble
#

but I think a twin cyl might be a better option for an enduro

cyan wind
#

so here's everything that i know of that needs replacing

#

handlebars are bent so that'll be sorted on Thursday iirc

#

also managed to get the seat off, it's got hondas owners manual and service manual which is sweet

#

also a little compartment of tools which is also a plus

#

steering lock is broken too but that's no surprise

tawdry badger
#

can i ask why you bought a varadero of all yamahas

#

i dont think ive ever seen one before actually

#

Not in an insulting way or anything

cyan wind
#

and the varadero is the only 'big' 125 out there atm

#

apart from like a sinnis terrain or a derbi terra but that'll break down on you every 40 minutes

cyan wind
#

they got discontinued in 2016, and the one i got is a 2007

tawdry badger
#

How tall are you

cyan wind
#

6'2

#

at 17 which is a bit peak

tawdry badger
#

i think youd die if you sat on my bikes

signal berry
cyan wind
#

i'd start cramping that's for sure

#

you lot know kawasaki's z125

signal berry
#

ye

cyan wind
#

had that for my cbt

tawdry badger
tawdry badger
#

5ft 8

cyan wind
#

i swear i had to take a break after 40 mins cus i was cramping and kept accidentally shifting

signal berry
#

i bet you're 5'9

tawdry badger
#

icl i dont even know my height

#

last time i measured it was in year 8

#

and im in year 11 now

signal berry
#

maybe you're 6'5

tawdry badger
#

or 8

#

perfect size for bikes

signal berry
cyan wind
#

cb125f's are bearable for me for like an hour or two then i start hurting

signal berry
tawdry badger
#

size 12 feet sounds great until it doesnt

cyan wind
#

hahahah

signal berry
#

rossi was 5'10 or 5'11

cyan wind
#

i'm size 13

tawdry badger
#

im size 9

signal berry
tawdry badger
#

so is your left foot size 9

#

amd the right foot size 10?

signal berry
#

no just depends on the brand

tawdry badger
#

thats incredible

signal berry
#

but thatd be incredible

tawdry badger
#

thatd be ridicioulous

tawdry badger
#

dangerous weapons

#

to get your head booted with

cyan wind
#

fuckin lethal

tawdry badger
#

wait so if you werent restricted by height

#

what begineer bike would you buy

signal berry
#

harv do you want to hear a great story

tawdry badger
#

no

#

yes

#

no

#

yesno

signal berry
#

its about a gigantic fat year 7

tawdry badger
#

I think thats a story for the dm's

fossil gulch
tawdry badger
#

ackshually your not allowed anything over 125cc when you begin riding soooooooo your WROGGn

#

wrong

fossil gulch
#

Wait not restricted by height, not just not restricted

tawdry badger
#

correct

#

unfortunately

#

i think

#

i ent sure

signal berry
tawdry badger
#

haha

#

lock those powervalves open

#

its nothing utnil 8k rpm then 170hp all at once

signal berry
#

the rg500 gamma has a great powerband thats friendly for new riders!

cyan wind
tawdry badger
#

real sigma buy 2 stroke

fossil gulch
#

Why do y’all wanna ride bikes that are like 20 years older then y’all

tawdry badger
#

I l ike 2 stroke my willy

signal berry
fossil gulch
#

You’ll spend 90% of the time fixing the damn thing

signal berry
#

wrong

tawdry badger
signal berry
#

factually wrong

#

about maintenance

tawdry badger
fossil gulch
#

Perishables remain perishable

signal berry
#

nuh uh

tawdry badger
#

it depends on the bike really, i mean a TZR250 from 1987 is bullet proof

fossil gulch
#

Wires start to degrade, plastics fail, bearings wear…

tawdry badger
#

its not that deep

signal berry
#

my dad has had his fireblade for 26 years and it has had 2-3 issues and its stock alarm only just died about a month ago

#

so

#

beat that

tawdry badger
#

Obviously as time goes on you replace things but thats just how cars and bikes work

#

theres nothing you cant replace

fossil gulch
#

It’s not that you can’t fix it, it’s that you will have to at some point

signal berry
#

i love the CAGIVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

tawdry badger
#

you have to do the same with every bike anyway

signal berry
#

over the fireBLADE!

tawdry badger
#

unless 4 strokes have developed so much that people dont even know what the inside of their engine looks like

#

then again thats how it seems to be with 125cc 4 stroke nowadays

fossil gulch
#

The first bike I rode was a rebel 250 and basically every time I rode it there was something to fix, the carbs had to be retuned, the clutch had to be readjusted or replaced, the rear drum had to be manually adjusted, the lights would work intermittently because the grounding wires where corroded…

#

It’s all fixable and stuff

#

But it’s more work than a modern bike. You don’t have to adjust carbs or rear drums on a modern bike

#

As a purely “fun” bike, old school all day everyday

#

But for a daily commuter and weekend tourer, new school no question

signal berry
#

i see a guy from our school daily an aprilia rs50

#

its great

#

just doesnt help hes a bit of a nonce

tawdry badger
#

thats just bad luck though lol, theres TZR250s, a design from the 70s, that have 50k miles on them and still go.. bear in mind these are 2 strokes as well which are known for blowing up fast

fossil gulch
#

Smallest bike parked at my uni rn is a ninja 650willmao

tawdry badger
#

its dependant on the build quality

#

but anyway 2t > 4t

#

or is it because like you inhale 2 stroke fumes daily

#

even at school

#

because thats fe

fossil gulch

Wait, don’t you already have hand warmers installed?

#

Isn’t that the whole point of the Oxford controller on the dash?

fossil gulch
#

Is it just a wiring issue?

cyan wind
#

that's my guess

#

i'll try and have a closer look at it tomorrow

fossil gulch
#

Snow just fell on the ground today

#

Riding season is officially jover

cyan wind
#

looks pretty over there though

fossil gulch
#

Indeed, anywhere near the NY border is stupidly pretty in the fall

#

All the leafs change color

#

And the roads get nicer

cyan wind
#

for sure

#

over here it's the same all season but the amount of clouds change willmao

#

also it's going in for a service on thursday, so most the issues on it will be sorted for then

signal berry
#

Mountain bikes are still bikes so I got a new helmet

woeful dragon
cyan wind
#

@fossil gulch called up bikesure, they want drumroll..... £3300

#

so they think i'm gonna write off my bike, and then have £1500 spare

cyan wind
#

the battery also just died 🙃

#

praying it's just a dead battery, if it's a starter motor i'm fuuuuuuuccckkeeddd

fossil gulch
#

It’s 100% the battery

#

Motorcycle batteries are fairly shit to begin with

cyan wind
#

it's charging as we speak, then i need to be up at like 6am to put it back in and lend my dad the keys and get it over to the mech before a storm hits

fossil gulch
#

You can check it and if it’s more than like 3-5 years old it’s probably due for a replacement

cyan wind
#

i didn't find one

#

but either way, we're gonna get it there and replace it

#

praying it actually starts, else we find a nearby hill and bump start it

cyan wind
fossil gulch
#

Oh nice

cyan wind
#

it was just the battery thankfully, and the mech said we got a good deal apparently

#

hopefully gonna have it back for monday if nothing serious needs changing

cyan wind
#

apparently did 75 on a straight, which does actually surprise me

#

i thought it'd be something like 65

fossil gulch
#

Assuming you mean miles

#

Otherwise 💀, my sympathies

cyan wind
#

i do mean miles dw 😭

tulip bramble
cyan wind
#

yeah legit

#

it's a massive shame they stopped producing them

fossil gulch
#

How’s the handling?

cyan wind
#

dad said it's good, steering bearings don't feel fucked or anything so i think we're in the clear

#

apparently the throttle is a bit sticky but it could be worse

#

apparently the engine and gearbox feel good aswell

#

either i'll have it back on monday or a bit later

fossil gulch
#

I remember when I bought my bike, my dad decided to take it for a spin before putting it away for winter and he called me in a panic

#

Dude thought the gearbox was broken because he wasn’t used to riding without a quickshift

cyan wind
#

though i hopefully should have it back / insured for monday

cyan wind
#

😭

#

apparently the mechanic was pleased with it when my dad rolled up on it, so i think we got a good deal

#

the bike feels nice, only thing is the pegs are a bit in a tight position for my legs

fossil gulch
#

But given it’s a 125 and not a Ducati, it’s probably the former

#

You can probably get aftermarket rear sets if the peg situation bothers you too much

#

British racing green my beloved

#

I love that more manufacturers are offering it as a color option

#

Or something close to it

@fossil gulch got insured, 1300 quid

#

not too bad for first year

fossil gulch
#

Oh cool

cyan wind
#

yeah, better than the 3k and 7k i got quoted willmao

#

should have it back for the 7th

The worst I got quoted was 450 pounds for all inclusive coverage + value to replace

Giacomo Agostini and a Corvette?!

signal berry
twin belfry
#

Goddamn, that is just as interesting as him driving a Marlboro liveried Williams in the British F1 championship

#

Meanwhile here’s Ago at the 1979 Race of Champions

signal berry
#

a lot of people forget that ago almost switched to f1

#

i wouldnt be surprised if people didnt know rossi got super close to switching too

twin belfry
#

Ago did quite well in the British F1 championship, but I’m not sure how he’d get on in the main series

signal berry
#

rossi afaik is probably the best all round motorsport guy

#

like ever

#

at a test track he was 0.7 off michael schumacher on his first go with f1

#

and when he tried nascar he was something like 0.2 of kyle busch

#

and he was good at rally

#

and obviously races gt3 now

twin belfry
#

His adaptability is something to behold

cyan wind
#

@fossil gulch @tulip bramble managed to go for a ride on the vara, seems good so far

#

the throttle seems a bit weird but apart from that it rides great

fossil gulch
#

But it’s an old bike, it might just need to be lubed

#

Or it’s a new rider and you just need to get used to it

cyan wind
#

probably the latter

#

just need to get used to it is all

tulip bramble
#

so throttle response isnt prolly that great

tawdry badger
cyan wind
#

had my first ride on my own, just went to fuel up, go shops and back

#

felt quite weird, idk how to describe it

#

defo gonna try and sort a day and try and go out for a bit longer and faster than 40 mph willmao

not yet

#

nearly did though cus gravel sucks

fossil gulch
#

Just don’t fear it

cyan wind
#

yeah i try not to, i just take it slow

#

same with any slow handling without giving it power

#

i also need to get myself a reminder cable for my disk lock, nearly moved it with it on

#

banger deal

fossil gulch
#

Oh wow

#

That’s a pretty damn good deal

cyan wind
#

yeah legit, they're doing a massive sale rn

#

i'll probs get alot of new stuff from there, i need it

#

my gloves are small, jacket is handmedown and massive, then my over trousers are fine

fossil gulch
#

Yeah, good/comfy gear helps a lot

cyan wind
#

definitely, my gloves in the cold feel like oven mits so i'm all over the shop with clutch control

fossil gulch
#

My first pair of gloves where too tight so the webbing of between my thumb and finger would get numb real fast

#

Don’t forget that gloves stretch a bit but not that much

cyan wind
#

yeah, what my dad told me was to get gloves with space in the fingers so you have some wiggle room to clutch in / clutch out

#

same with the front brake

fossil gulch
#

You want some wiggle room

#

Too much and the fabric starts to bunch up under your palms and gets annoying

cyan wind
#

yeah for sure

fossil gulch
#

If you can swing it, get two pairs of gloves

#

Wet gloves are genuinely a war crime

cyan wind
#

yeah i had that coming back from ireland, i don't wish it upon anyone

fossil gulch
#

Someone stole my only pair of comfy gloves so I got some shopping to do too 😭

cyan wind
#

bro 😭

#

what mf is desperate enough for some gloves

#

how'd they get nicked?

fossil gulch
#

I left one of them in a lecture hall and went back before the next class and it was gone

cyan wind
#

did you check lost & found?

fossil gulch
#

Not brought to security or left at lost and found

#

Just gone

cyan wind
#

oh wow

#

💀

fossil gulch
#

I also need a new pair of boots but imma wait to see if I get an adv bike or not

cyan wind
#

oh yeah

#

how's that going?

fossil gulch
#

Waiting on king George to gimme a contract 😭

#

I need the crown to give me a new contract so I justify buying a new bike

cyan wind
#

yeah that's fair 😭

#

anything in particular?

fossil gulch
#

A used GS750 is most likely it

#

A new GS800 or tiger 800 if I get a pay bump willmao

#

Or my dad’s old S1000XR if he ends up buying a K1600

cyan wind
#

all solid options tbf

#

tiger 800 would be good

fossil gulch
#

Only problems with the tiger is that it’s got a British reputation and parts support is a bit worse then a bmw

#

But the Germans reputation isn’t much better

#

It’s either British and it will break or it’s German and it may not break but if it does it’s 20000000 to fix

cyan wind
#

yeah, personally i know bmw and triumph as a mechanics dream

#

but hey, if you can get one that stays alive that'll be sweet

fossil gulch
#

Ideally it would be a tenere 700

#

But it’s easier to buy a 911 GT3 then one of those

#

Since they’ve got year-2 year wait lists

cyan wind
#

oh jesus

#

would used be worth it or are they overpriced to fuck

fossil gulch
#

There’s none used

#

It’s just not an option

cyan wind
#

atleast people keep em willmao

fossil gulch
#

Or if they are, they’re bought-up instantly

#

I don’t have the luxury of being able to pull out 12-14k same day

#

Others are able to pull that off and will win out

cyan wind
#

yeah for sure

fossil gulch
#

I’d also be open to a new Vstrom if the dealer is willing to go down to 8-10K

#

Only bikes I don’t want are the panamerica, the desert X and the KLR

#

Anything else I’m open to if the price is tight

cyan wind
#

panamerica?

#

who made that

fossil gulch
#

Harley Davidson

#

It’s a genuinely good bike

#

It’s just nah

cyan wind
#

that's why i've not heard of it lmfao

cyan wind
#

i've heard horror stories about HD, so i wouldn't personally

#

oh that's certainly a look

fossil gulch
#

It’s not a traditional Harley

#

And being in NA the parts support is quite good

#

Buuuuut

#

It’s a new bike from a brand not known for this kinda bike

#

So long term support and quality is a question

#

And price is GS1200 levels

cyan wind
#

yeah that's a bit wild

#

how big is it?

fossil gulch
#

Its also a 1200 I think

#

It’s a direct competitor to the GS

#

since a lot of the people who’d normally buy Harley’s (aka retirees) are now buying adv/sport tourers

cyan wind
#

yeah, it's the new generation of old people bike

#

don't blame them though

fossil gulch
#

Don’t blame them either

#

Even discounting their bikes reputation, the reputation of the brand and its riders isn’t favorable either

#

Harley spent decades marketing it as a bike for 1%ers and outlaws and now the people who can buy them don’t wanna be associated with that

#

It would be like triumph spending 20 years making knife crime and up the ra ads and wondering why no one in the UK wants to buy them anymore

#

Hell, even the president of the most violent hells angles chapter regrets sticking with Harley’s 😭

cyan wind
#

LMFAO

#

the 1%ers rolling around on 1200RT's would be hilarious

fossil gulch
#

Most famous hells angel and one of the most brutal time periods hates Harley’s

It’s made by Ford UK, so therefore it’s British

THANK YOU

The RS200 is British

jagged crater
#

I can see why he'd say its' American

#

That's a trippy thing to think about tho

#

I can see that too but when I said Its British he got very defensive

So I figured I could get 2nd opinions on it

Yea lol

#

I figured I was also being stupid or maybe too harsh saying it was British

But so far everyone I've asked says British

god that looks terrifying

twin belfry
#

I can’t imagine doing the Daytona RC on a bike or at Macau. But it looks hella awesome

cyan wind
#

jesus that's so fucking close

#

to be able to have that type of awareness of your surroundings at 200mph is just incredible

twin belfry
#

Yep

fossil gulch
#

So honor, when are we gonna see you going around the Isle of Man

twin belfry
#

Nah, let’s see him do the 8 hours of Suzuka

fossil gulch
#

Also that new bike dream just got a lot closer if I can sell off the pickup truck my dad dumped in my yard

cyan wind

fossil gulch
cyan wind
#

Yeah, i mean when just before the actual races they'll let people do laps

#

And some parts don't have speed limits cheekytoto

fossil gulch
#

Yeeeehawwww

cyan wind
#

That would be a great time

#

I'm also gonna try and get my old ass camera up and running and get some footage of some twisties

cyan wind
#

i really want a chin mount, but obvs with a modular i can't really

fossil gulch
#

Assuming it’s the type that swings up and not those shitty scooter ones where the chin bar comes off

cyan wind
#

well damn, but 30 quid 😭

fossil gulch
#

This type I mean

#

(Yes it’s a snowmobile helmet but that’s the type of modular I’m used to 😂)

cyan wind
#

so i think the straps would pull it

cyan wind
fossil gulch
#

You could probably put the mount the other way around but ehhhh

cyan wind
#

i'll be getting some spare money soon from my ctf, so i might just put it to that and try it

#

and if its good, maybe upgrade the camera

fossil gulch
#

BMW please stop

#

Stop detuning the engine and calling it a smaller displacement bike

#

That yellow makes me act up tho

cyan wind
#

yeah that's kinda nice

fossil gulch
#

Someone went full hog spec’ing this one

cyan wind
#

holy shit 💀

fossil gulch
#

Keyless start

#

💀

#

(That doesn’t include a 22% sales tax btw )

cyan wind
#

i never saw the point of keyless start, apart from the chance of bending a key

fossil gulch
#

Tire pressure control and engine brake control are totally pointless

fossil gulch
cyan wind
#

yeah

#

sounds about right

#

tbf literally most of that doesn't sound out of the world

#

apart from the useless engine brake and tire pressure stuff

fossil gulch
#

Most of it is software stuff people will never use

#

Ride modes, abs pro, dynamic tc, gear shift assistant pro…

#

My dad has the basic gear shift assistant on his XR and it’s just a red light on the gauge that turns on when the bike thinks it’s time to shift

cyan wind
#

yeah that shits just inept

#

just get a quick shifter and have way more fun

fossil gulch
#

It already has a quick shift

#

Shift assist just tells you when to kick down

#

Or at least that’s what I think it is

#

Because a quick shift is stock on the 850 (so the dealer said at least hidethepaincarlos )

cyan wind
#

lmfao no way

cyan wind
#

@fossil gulch new proposed licensing, i like it

#

hopefully gets passed too

#

so with that, i could get my full a1, and ride something up to 30hp

fossil gulch
#

Oooooooo

#

No busa at 17 still

#

Sadge

cyan wind
#

it does make alot more sense, and actually makes the A1 license useful lmao

fossil gulch
#

The different licenses for 17 and 18 don’t really make much sense

#

Like you aren’t gonna mature that much in 12 months

#

But I guess it’s an improvement over existing laws

#

Imo it should just go off rider experience

#

Force riders onto smaller bikes for their first year of riding regardless of age and then let them have a go on the bigger bikes after a year

cyan wind
fossil gulch
#

IMO, I still think a 17 year old could handle a ninja 400 just fine

#

Like a Varadero 125 is the same size and weight as a ninja 400

#

So it’s not even an argument about being unable to handle and maneuver the bike

cyan wind
#

125's are too small for anyone

fossil gulch
#

How do you like riding on your own so far?

cyan wind
#

i definitely feel like i can focus on my own riding alot more, felt alot more smooth and able to understand the bike

fossil gulch
#

oh nice

#

take it out on any nice trips or just around town for now?

cyan wind
#

that's what i plan to do

#

might also try and get my camera working on a chest strap and see how that looks

#

this is what one of the roads looks like, super nice

severe cloak
#

Istg if it’s EV

twin belfry
#

This just looks like a chunkier supra

cyan wind
#

yeah

#

looks like a new supra trying to be newer

winter dragon
#

agreed

#

the least they could do is have it look something more like the 00s Celica

#

but yeah it looks more like a Supra than a Celica

winter dragon
#

that too

twin belfry
#

I feel like they were going for that look, but instead they ended up making a Supra with extra steps

#

@pseudo gull

#

2007 civic 180k miles

fossil gulch
tawdry badger
#

My uneducated guess is the power steering pump @fossil gulch

#

Just found out I'm getting a 2015 rav hand-me-down with 150k miles but it was owned by a Toyota HQ engineer so it should have been perfectly ain't aimed.

This 07 civic was well maintained and even just had an entire overall before I picked it up from my bro. Fluids, shocks, brake pads and rotors, plugs, ignition... So I was surprised to see something new go wrong. I want it in best condition for when sold in 2 months so he can recoup parts and effort for doing all that for me

#

KBB says 2k to 4k, CarMax said 600 bc they will auction it. It's great condition minus the clear coat but that was common in 06-11 civics. Already got a 2k offer just asking around but this needs to be fixed before I go to other places for a better price

fossil gulch

It doesn’t even have campangolo as standard

twin belfry
#

Futa was the more appropriate choice

fossil gulch
#

I wonder if some junior eng/product marking guy was like “lets call it the futa” knowing full well the implications and then senior management just rolled with it without checking

#

Even reviewers know what’s up

cyan wind
#

there must've been one dude that was concerned at the name

fossil gulch
#

Like at least stuff like the STI gets a pass since it’s an acronym that existed before the unfortunate acronym became popular

#

But this, in the internet age come one

#

Futa isn’t even that good of a name regardless

I’d still choose a Fireblade over a Beamer and a Ducati

you also get reliability which is a plus willmao

fossil gulch

It’s got the looks but unfortunately it’s still a Honda and I’m a little brand whore

twin belfry
#

What’s wrong with Honda

tulip bramble
#

so its basically a choose your poison thing when you got that money schumi

#

But still, its either the Beamer or Honda for me

#

Ducati’s extremely nice and all, but, I want the Inline 4 sound 🙏

tho V4’s definitely sound more aggressive

fossil gulch

yeah Beamers got better stuff

wait S1000? or the CBR1000RR?

too many bikes with 2 R’s schumi

S1000RR vs firebird

Ohh yeahh

fossil gulch

Firebird has a third r

Do they?

fossil gulch

Or are they just rr

tulip bramble

Ohhh

I instantly thought of the Foggy Petronas FP1 when I saw it

fossil gulch
#

I can’t get over that front cowling

#

Not having lights makes it look so wack

#

*yes i know It can’t have lights because of racing rules and shit but idk, no front lights is weird

twin belfry
#

I have no problem with it

fossil gulch
#

Idk, the lack of headlights just confuse me

#

Even tho I know some tracks make you take them out or tape over them for trackdays

fossil gulch

I can’t make them out with the headlights

twin belfry

Oh, i just thought it was a modified RR

( which RR idk )

And the fire coming out the exhaust

Mmmmm

It competed in MotoGP

Just feels odd that compared to everyone else, Aprilia went for an inline 3.

fossil gulch

I will always hâte Aprilla for killing off the shiver before I could buy one

It’s such a nice bike but no aprilla decided that their lineup should just be a shitty scooter, an ADV and five different versions of the same super sport

hi guys

#

earning 5k€ and spending 2.5k€ to buy a 150k€ car for 60 months is a good deal?

fossil gulch
#

Also no

#

Spending 50% of your income on car payments is an awful idea

#

Because after insurance and repairs, it’s probably gonna be closer to 75%

#

Also I feel like most maintenance on a 150k is gonna be over 5k after parts and labor

fossil gulch
#

The bike is finally in its winter storage

cyan wind
#

i'm also gonna go out and get some new gear, looking for gloves and a jacket but i also kinda want a helmet

tulip bramble
tulip bramble
#

by means of safety, it’d be better to start off with a decent helmet

cyan wind
#

it's all in need of investing

tulip bramble
#

yes

cyan wind
#

bad fitting jackets are basically inept

#

if you've got large bits of space between the elbow and the protection, it does more bad than good

tulip bramble
#

yeahh

#

the padding also shifts with a jacket too tight

cyan wind
#

exactly

#

basically the same with helmets

tulip bramble
#

I think if I were to start riding

cyan wind
#

i have my eye on one helmet

tulip bramble
#

I’d get one of those vests with padding on them

#

closely similar to the ones used for merican football

#

tho problem with that is it only protects your torso and not your arms

#

I’ve tried fitting the riding jacket we have here

#

its definitely a hassle to take it off and hold onto it

cyan wind

#

one thing i've realised with full faces, is they're actually way fuckin lighter

tulip bramble
#

yepp

#

I wanted a modular helmet

#

actually I still do

#

they also look as cool as full faces and way more comfortable when you’re not moving

#

cause you can half face it

i really want the nolan, but i want to use my earbuds but they'll fall out easily

tulip bramble
#

Been seeing beautiful bikes lately

winter here is just rainy, it's depressing asf lmao

then some time in August, its prolly continuous rain until September

i can agree to that lmao

god why does an intercom have to be so expensive

fossil gulch

fossil gulch
#

But realistically, look at all your other expenses in a year

#

See how much they cost first

#

See how much money you’d have left over to spend on car payments

And then look how much maintenance and insurance… will cost

#

That should tell you the bare minimum you need to make to afford it

gud bobtas totoyes

thx

tulip bramble
#

I think Shark has some 300$ models as well

signal berry
#

i think modular is bare minimum

#

but i'd never get a modular, most of them have shitty ratchet straps, which are known to fail in higher impact crashes

fossil gulch
#

They are rated to be safe by the relavent governing bodies

#

also depends entirely on the type of riding you do

#

If you’re buying a touring helmet, you aren’t going mach 1 around corners anyways

#

@cyan wind that’s a really nice lid tho

#

Don’t worry too much about getting the integrated comms

#

A normal comm doesn’t stick out that far anyways

signal berry
# fossil gulch Are they?That sounds like someone missed the point of that fortnine video

Well, they are, you cant compare a ratchet thing which is made of plastic compared to two metal rings which is used in high end car and motorcycle racing and is stronger than the strap itself, plus I'd rather have the best chance. What if someone hits you, even if you arent going fast, and a lot of pressure goes through the head, i'd rather just have the best chance. modulars are just heavy anyway

#

I dont see how i can trust it when you can break it with bare hands

Its up to anyone what they get, but id rather have the best chance
