Not worth the risk
also pic related is the most effay form of transportation.

I’m actually buying a motorcycle this spring. Cop or not this jacket?

>>14048854
Not even close, it's obviously being carried by your servants that's the most effay

Not a redditor

It's either snowy or it's raining. Not worth it for the amount of nice days here.

>>14048854
I am riding around on this in the meantime until I can afford one.

>>14048854
transportation isn't effay

Electric scooters are more /fa/ approved.

>>14048854
i do although I wouldn't say it's the most effay way to travel since you /should/ dress a certain way on a bike to be safe

>>14048862
honestly depends on the bike. For instance that would look out of place on a super sport but would work with a vintage style bike similar to >>14048854

youre right. im kinda jaded from having a bike as my only transportation for a while. just saying wearing whatever you want in a car and not having to take your gear everywhere is much more /fa/ in general

Is GS500 effay?

Any recs on a leather jacket?

If you want the SEX you better ride MX

Hella effay

i ride a motorcycle over a car, but that said

>generally shoehorned into wearing the same leather jacket/boots all the time unless youre one of the retards that wear shorts and flipflops on a litre bike

>helmets sound cool on paper but make you look like a bobblehead and hide facial aesthetics and prevent all hair styling

basically motorcycles are good if you aren't effay because the gear and helmet will hide your ugliness and inability to dress yourself

furthermore
>sportbikes are for fags
>harleys are for fags
>over 600cc is for manchildren whose parents didnt pay enough attention to them
>80s bikes are patrician just learn how to do basic wrenching you mongs

in general motorcyclists are cancers, scooterfags are ok except for ruckus modders, and if youre modding your exhaust to be as obnoxious as possible you deserve to be shot, i hope some retard does a wheelie in front of you in a group ride, wipes out and takes you with him to kill two birds with one stone

>>14050903
anything under 600cc is completely anemic, genuinely curious to what you ride lmao

uwu

>>14049620
nah not really. accelerates pretty well until you get to like 85-90 then it barely hits 100. good enough for street and highway @ 75 mpg.

also you need full gear for track days...

Always look ready to take a cock. I can respect standard and cruisers but most of these twats fuck about on plastic crotch rockets with hideous fenders, and obnoxious hipster cafe racer builds. God forbid they tear apart some practical machine and turn it into a bobber so they can get the joy of riding with a stick up their ass.

>>14051653

No, it's actually trains, walking and uber

>>14048989
thats an exceptionally gay jacket and I hope you dont fucking wear that in public

INB4 its a classic jacket, looks like shit and it looks worse on your lanky ass torso

>>14048862
maroon jackets look wonky depending on the color of your bike and should probably only be worn as a fashion piece when not riding

>>14051653
why would anyone make this kind of image? what the fuck is wrong with incels?

>>14049116
is the ducati scrambler /fa/ no its not every fucking person has one and after seeing 8 in a day they all look generic as fuck and it only gets more apparent the more you look at it

which is awful considering its a ducati and should be oozing sex

if you wanted a scrambler you shoulda just rebuilt a bike with a modern fit, or gotten a triumph bonneville or one of the new yamaha xsr modern scrambler or w/e they have more character

>>14049707
you are too fucking old for 4chan already man seriously consider growing up holy shit

I'm pretty happy playing dress up with an 80s goldwing, most comfy practical bike for hauling shit and taking the gf, and looks pretty nice naked for every day riding. Doesn't take long to put the luggage and windshield on to go to furry conventions across the county.

yup you're 100% right. bigger cc = bigger pp. no need to sperg out over a friendly discussion

>>14049649
u look like ryan from the office lol

Nobiker here, looking to get my learners permit soon. What should I be looking for when shopping for a helmet? I don't care too much about price but I guess I'd prefer something that's light weight (so I can move my head around easily) yet built like a tank. What the strongest material they're made of? Also it's gotta be white.

>>14054966
no ones sperging out lmao, i'm just amazed someone thinks a ninja 250 "accelerates pretty well" because when i had one when i was 16 i sold in a month to upgrade

>>14054944
>getting into accidents
can't relate

nobody is saying its not dangerous to ride a motorcycle, thats kinda the point lol

>>14054991
>I'd prefer something that's light weight (so I can move my head around easily) yet built like a tank

all the snell rated ones should be built the same, so that shouldn't be a factor. I think shoei, arai, and bell are still the best quality and best looking, assuming you get their higher end models. def do some research on helmet sizing and try them on in person

>>14055018
How's the quality of AGV if you know?

>>14055030
ya thats another good brand. haven't done helmet shopping in years so I can't give much info outside of the one that I have (rf1100) t.bh

where would you go to learn how to ride a motorcycle?

>>14057839
look up motorcycle safety course in your area. you need to take one anyways for the endorsement on your licence. if you know how to ride a bicycle and how to work a clutch, then you're most of the way there.

>>14057858
so you have to get a motorcycle license before you can drive a motorcycle?
or do you buy one and then take it to a safety course?

>>14057860
they have beaters there for them to teach you on

>>14057869
oh cool
how much does it cost to get one (bike licence?)

>>14048854
there is nothing worse than when you see a fairy riding an old bike

how do i learn to drive a motorcycle?

Here's mine

>>14057872
xman is not very specific
>get your m1, written test that costs $15 at drivetest
this allows you to drive a motorcycle sunrise to sundown in fair conditions, without a passenger. I rode to and from work every day for 2 months, at night and in the rain without any issue, but I was on a low CC learning bike that didn't draw any attention or go over the speed limit. insurance during this time will fuck you in the ass, I only paid $40/month because I was on a 100cc bike, but you have to pay for the whole year. if you don't think you'll use it that much, just wait.

after 2 months you can do your m2 test. without buying and insuring a bike during this time you can't get any experience so you are usually forced to take a rider training safety course. the safety course will run you around $300, maybe more - i'm not sure about the pricing in different places. the course will give you an insurance break, so it pays off.

in my experience we did one 8 hour day indoors of written work, mostly being told the barebones basics about safety and all that. they insisted for the riding portion, we must absolutely have leather riding gloves that cover the wristbone, a textile, heavy denim or leather riding jacket that went below the waist, heavy denim or textile pants that overlapped our boots, leather or moto boots that went above our ankles, and a DOT approved helmet.

the following weekend consisted of two 8 hour days on the bikes with 20 other people, learning how all different kinds operate and handle, mostly learning about the friction zone and low speed maneuvering. the funny thing about motorcycling is that going slowly is actually a lot more difficult than going fast, so this is almost exclusively what you'll be doing, never going above 2nd gear or 40km for most of it, with certain exercises possibly going to third. at the end of the second day you'll take your m2 test, included in the course, and within a couple days you can update you license

>>14051551

>>14048971
>what is turning circle
pulling a 15-point turn on a busy street is not /fa/

>>14049521
The racing number comes on all the bikes of this trim. I've considered getting rid of it

>>14058220
Should have stated I'm in the US. My experience:

Instructor gave us all the answers to the written test after watching a safety video, then we the had the riding portion (they let you borrow a half helmet) for the rest of the day.

After that one day class and getting your endorsement, you're free to go out and buy a 1000cc bike if you wanted to. You only need insurance in my state even if you plan to ride without a helmet

they don't really give a fuck over here. Lot of crazy mf's out here on the streets

>>14057872
It depends, for me it cost $300 in total for the riding safety course and for a new licence

I plan on buying this bike. Is there a way to not look like a tryhard on an e-bike?

>>14049196
80s masterrace reporting in. Not mine but similar.

I get a lot of envy hate from old bikers I know that hate being reminded that they are old.

No-bikers find it cool though. The bike is not made for speed though, but gravel and hill-riding which fits me perfectly.

In my opinion, cafe racers are not that /fa/. I've worked on multiple projects before with my friends because everyone seems to jump on this band wagon (and I can understand this because the shape is easy to follow with the eye, which makes it look gorgeous to anyone.) But these shits are uncomfortable in the long run, it's sole purpose is to make a quick run to wherever you have to go (I mean that's the origin of the cafe racer, Brits would play short races between each other to the shop/cafe.)

But the real /fa/ factor comes from working on your own bike from scratch. I received an old Bonneville from the 80s from my uncle last year as a birthday gift and it's been a blast. Your personal touch is what makes it /fa/ (as long as you know what you're going after and got the basics for a good looking bike) I've been working on my own gas tank/handlebars these days (might create a new frame but I'm not sure about that yet, we will see in the future.)

Besides, you get to know the ins and outs of your bike.

TL;DR Customizing your own bike gives it a sense of authenticity, which is the pinnacle of /fa/. As long as it doesn't look like shit of course.

Whats the most /fa/ helmet?
