>>13406989
Great story. A real page-turner.

OP here. I agree this entire discussion is extremely retarded, It all comes from him getting overly defensive when I asked why he bought such an expensive bed, After that he criticized my bike which I ride alot and have gotten many years of joy from. I want this topic as a statement to him on how absurd his views on money are.

>>13406989
I’m assuming you don’t know how to actually ride a sports bike aggressively and bought it to be cool over anything else. Your friend bought a bed that he will use for 1/3 of his life. When your friend crashes on it, he has sweet dreams. When you crash on your bike you will die.
>inb4 I can ride bro
Take a picture of your rear tire and I’ll be the judge of that

>>13406989
Why on earth a bed should cost 4k euro?
You can sleep on the bike.
Your friend is a c u c k.

Been riding bikes since I was 16 and im 29 now. I know how to ride, You are going to look for chicken strips, I don't have any.

A nice mattress is a good purchase that should not cost around 4000 euros. A motorcycle is a bad purchase that should cost around 4000 euros. You win some, you lose some.

It's not you that you have to worry about it's other drivers.

>>13407077
this, my bed sucks, i dont make enough money to really buy a new one at once, so im stuck for a minute with it, but i mean it really sucks, its something that makes me depressed sometimes desu, if someone came up to me and said i can give you a 4k$ motor bike or a 4k $ bed im picking the bed every single time.

>>13407127
i have a 1973 honda cb350 too. CB350G that is.

anyways he is a retard for buying the bed because you can just mailorder scam a perfectly good mattress and not pay anything

>>13407182

Hey me too. Super Sport with the front disc brake.

Just rebuilt the engine myself.

>>13407246

Fucking picture rotation exif shit

>>13407106
You win. Tell your room mate he’s a hoe

Great bike

>>13406989
both are retarded desu but if you had to pick one your friend is less retarded because a good night's sleep is better than risking your life to look like a douche

>>13407006
Came here to post this.

A lot of bikes have poor resale values
I know of several people trying to sell theirs and no one's buying
If you time it right, you can find one used and well-maintained for very cheap from some boomer that just got tired of it

I would not buy a bed used. What is the appeal of a 4k euro bed vs a 2k euro bed or even a 400 euro one?

>>13406989
The bed.

>mfw i know lots of bikers who bought their first bike to get women because they were too much of a proud to actually buy a hooker and be done with it

brainlets, a bike should be just about transportation nothing else

>>13406989

This thread is retarded. 4000 euro seems to be a reasonable price for a motorcycle that you can use for transportation. Even more than that is a ridiculous price for a bed. If you can't sleep on a bed that cost less than $5000, you need to be in the hospital. It's his money though. If he needs a really nice bed to be happy, let him have it, and be grateful that you are not so high maintenance.

>mfw just bought a 2003 Hayabusa from a boomer for $3000cad

Been riding for 15 years with a gsxr, don't worry about me

>>13407530

Are you the anon who posted the busa the other day in a thread? The one with the big oil leak underneath?

>>13407580
No..

>>13407006
fpbp, came to say this

>>13407006
Basically this. They say to spend your money where you spend your time, but the alternative to that is maybe invest that money so you can actually use your time instead of wagecucking for the rest of your life. Just a thought

>>13407530
What about other drivers?

>>13407521
bikes are most def roastie magnets for obvious reasons bro
they're cheap, require little storage space, and get really good gas mileage
i never had one but the thought has crossed my mind on a few occasions

>>13407580
>The one with the big oil leak underneath

They all have that.

>>13407521
>He doesn't improve himself not for pussy but to show women what they can't have

>>13407077
SUCK MY FUCKING DICK FAGGOT LETS SEE YOUR CHICKEN STRIPS IF YOU WANNA TALK ALL THAT SHIT

>>13407164
In my case, it was me I had to worry about. I cannot be trusted with so much power at my fingertips.

>>13407006
fpbp OP eternally btfo thanks anon

They are both good buys imo

I have bike and mattress and I regret neither

>>13407788

Yeah man honestly my 350 is plenty of power for me. It's agile enough to have fun and it is absolutely roaring by the time I'm at highway speed. Can top out at 100 but it's modest enough in power that I'm not gonna be doing anything particularly stupid or getting bucked off when I flick the throttle. I've really only ever ridden vintage hondas... had a CB750 before my 350 and I vastly prefer the small size, low weight, and agility of my 350. It's about 150 pounds lighter and feels worlds more maneuverable.

I drove an old boss's 750cc ducati one time. First off, it was uncomfortable as hell sitting hunched so far forward like an italian jockey on 1-inch thick foam seat. Would have murdered my lower back after 20 minutes of riding. Secondly, it's just face-melting levels of acceleration--- not even pleasant. If you opened up that throttle without having your body weight over the front wheel, it would wheelie in a hearbeat and would buck you off.

the whole bed industry is a scam btw

>>13407580
>The one with the big oil leak underneath?

Yep, sounds like a Shitzuki

>>13407673
Respect. I recently sold my supermoto and now am 100% mx for now.

>a $4.6k bed

What in the fuck? You can get a great one for $750

>>13408087

Also I have to say part of what makes a motorcycle exciting for me is feeling like you're running it at its limits... leaning it far over in the bends, getting near top speed or redline, really hearing it roar and sensing its limits. This is a lot easier with a more modest machine. Gotta say there's nothing quite as unsatisfying and also frustrating as riding a sportsbike at what feels like 40-50% capacity... hunching over like you're ready to ride a rocket that you can rarely get above 70mph.

I also ride in NYC a lot because I live there, and with most riding conditions you're never really getting above 40 mph or going further than .25 miles without hitting a light or traffic. In that sort of condition having a small modest bike with a neutral riding position is way more enjoyable and you don't look like a fool sitting in traffic with your ass in the air.

>>13408104
yup, made my own bed for 50 dollars. mattress 70 dollars.

stained and glossed oak. heavy as hell tho

>>13407008
spbp

>>13408213
that's not a bed. it's a slightly raised platform where you put a mattress lol

>>13408218
its not even a mattress its like a 6" cheap ebay memory foam shit lol

>>13408213
>>13408218
hes trolling, theres an automated dildo on the right side

The bike.

>>13408338

Damn, if he doesn't already know that the gas tank caps have vents that the gas can pour out of, he probably learned very shortly thereafter...

I just want a 2 stroke street bike lads. There is nothing more sexual or alluring to me.

>>13408178
Yeah, I had a Ninja 500. Not real powerful but it was still a crotch rocket. The faster I went, the better it felt. Riding in the backwoods in the PNW, winding turns, knee almost touching the ground. FUCK YEAH. I was reckless and could have easily died on more than one occasion. Had a minor accident. Only separated by left shoulder and made some thin hamburger of parts of my skin. I still rode the same bike for about 6 months after but it didn't feel the same. Will never ride a crotch rocket again. Maybe a cruise bike in town or something but I value my life too much to let myself go on the open road with one.

>>13406989
A bed is the best investment aside from health, and they are one and the same. You are the idiot here.

>>13407627
Mate. Maybe In the US but in the UK it’s a money pit. Spend so much just keeping my bikes in a lock up so they don’t get rusted, and hoping it doesn’t get robbed. Needs mods and shit to make it look half decent (this is for a Harley and triumph). Love going out for a ride daily, but there’s heaps other costs.
