some of us have too much to lose when some idiot hits us in an intersection or doesn't see us while changing lanes. there are better ways to get a rush.

I have a 2-stroke vespa is it fun
When i make ill buy an enduro

I have enough excitement.
I am a freight broker, indoor farmer, and own gravel coin.

>>19988671
Just bought a 2005 rm250 I’m in heaven

>>19988671
I don't donate.
Money or organs

>>19988671
I traded a beat up truck for a fz-6. I rode it down the street and back, never rode it again and sold it for 4.5k that I turned into 20k trading shitcoins. Would rather have the opportunity to make it than have an exciting motorcycle ride.

>>19988711
that's okay, most of us have nothing to lose though

>>19988671
But I already own one

>>19988671
I would die.

>>19988671
Jokes on you, I am in fact too poor to own a motorcycle, even though I really want one.

>>19988761
sounds like a full blown gambling addictioon

>>19988671
>bike go broom broom
because im not a childish attention whore like you, faggot

>>19988847
Keep an eye out for broken scooters
They are so cheap and sometimes all it takes is a carburetor clean and battery. Ride that until you find another, flip them bikes.
I bought my Vespa for $600 spent $300 on parts, worth $5k now

Easy to die. Easy to steal. Mine was stolen never to be found again. They are fun though.

>his outlook on things is defined by a cartoon

zoomer pls

Had a 2006 Honda 1000 RR for six months. Had to sell it. I was going to eventually kill my self on it. We’ll probably not, but that’s how I justified getting rid of it.

>>19988671
I'm not sure if I want a duel sport or something else

I can only drive it half the year here and don't feel like essentially writing the bike off every 3 or 4 years in insurance costs. Theres absolutely no way in fuck I'm ever paying $300/month just for the privilege of driving a vehicle. Thats a retarded waste of money.

>>19988671
because i'm not insecure about my masculinity.

>>19988671
because i dont want some floozie drifting into my lane and ending my life. ill stick to dirt bikes and tracks, thanks.

>>19988939
implying motorcycle thrill rides aren't gambling

>>19988671
whatever happened to motorcycleanon who was waiting on his lawsuit so he could buy 200k JNT?

Rode pic related for 2 years. Almost died numerous times.
Now I have a 78 El Camino for my joy ride. Still get a bit of a rush with it but it's not the same.
For safe adrenaline these days I fly racing drones. Bout as cheap/expensive as the bike but no change of death.

>>19989098
dual sport master race
brappity brappity in the city

Because the white trash, illegal spics, and niggers around me almost hit me on a daily basis in a car. A motorcycle would be fun, but there are just too many people/idiots on the road now.

Had a dream last night I went to the Honda store and was looking to buy a Ruckus. It's true I'm in the market for a scooter for little thrills around the neighborhood and heading to the local stores

>>19988671
Cycling is more fun and its also exercise.

>>19989645
See if you can find a Spree in good shape on Craiglist. I find them to be more aesthetic.

>>19988671
I bought a ktm 200 exc with my playmoney profits.
That bike gives me better boost than sex & drugs

>>19989150
>because i'm not insecure about my masculinity.
Exactly what someone insecure about their masculinity would say

>>19989745
>cycling is more fun
Top kek, that’s some serious fucking cope

I already do. I treat other road users as heat seeking missiles and I've never had a problem. Saves me a lot of time commuting in traffic.

>>19989971
>Top kek, that’s some serious fucking cope

Top kek, if I wanted a surgery mobile I would buy one. Dirtbiking and dual sport is cool but riding a motorcycle on the road is gay and boring. You're exposed to more danger than driving but you still don't really get to experience whats around you, so whats the point.

>>19990211
Also you're subject to the same traffic laws as any other vehicle, you need license, registration, insurance and filtering is illegal almost everywhere in USA. I guess it depends where you live but in the city a bicycle is definitely more fun. Plus there are e-bikes for fat guys, which are also a good time.

Already have 3. I've been riding bikes since I was 5 ish. R1, kx 500, and a project bike. I wrecked a lot as a kid and once nearly killed myself in high school on dirtbikes - started to get into cars at that point. Now I have both again for about 7-8 years. I'm a total gearhead and adrenaline junky, but I've developed some weird sixth sense of risk management with vehicular stupidity. And when I ride now, my gear is a lot better lol.

>>19988671
I've been riding for 10 years. My $2100 SV650 has given me 23k miles of problem free fun. Feels good man.

>>19988671
most bikers sell their bike rather quickly, too dangerous and not enjoyable. requires optimal weather, warm and dry too. mostly adrenaline junkies with a death wish seem to like em

altought i must say i would like to try electric bikes, no clutch or shifting, quiet, very quick

>>19988671
God i hate these fucking things. Loud and always taking up the road. Always have to worry about ramming into one of these assholes. It isn't 1903, fucker. Get a fucking motorcar and join us in the 21st century.

>>19990211
>>19990273
Ok pussy

>>19990326
chill out

would like to get a sports bike but live in the pnw so i'd be wet 3/4ths of the year fuck you

>>19990409
fuck you

>>19989244
>For safe adrenaline these days I fly racing drones. Bout as cheap/expensive as the bike but no change of death.

have you considered wing-suiting? :) they must have the highest death rate of extreme sports

>i would like to try electric bikes, no clutch or shifting
I always forget Americans can't drive manual
bike shifting is even easier since it's sequential

>>19988671
Way too many retarded drivers
I have a dirtbike i ride on my land

>>19988671
>Buying a motorized death trap because you think it makes you cool, but it just makes people hate you because people hate hearing "BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR" while they are relaxing at home and also they have to be extra careful when driving near you because if they hit you with their car they are the one who is fucked

>>19990321
It's an attitude thing. If you're an adrenaline junkie trying to show off you're going to probably either get badly injured, arrested, or move on once you realize the risks.

If you're just out to experience the open road and find new roads and new sights and don't need the adrenaline hit it's very relaxing. Touring on a motorcycle is fantastic, it gives you a feeling of freedom and connection to the open road in a way cars just never could. It's also very zen, carving up mountain roads and feeling the change in air temperature as you go through dells and pass by creeks. Motorcycling is freedom. It's living. And when you find the right motorcycle it becomes a part of you. It's one of the vet few things that I will always enjoy no matter what.

>>19989113
Motorcycle insurance costs me less than $200 for the entire year.

>>19990468
It does make you cool though kemosabe. People notice you, people want to come up to you and talk to you about your bike. And you feel cool riding it. being a jealous bitch about it makes you look silly

>>19989777
Your digits have spoken. I shall look into it! Thanks anon

>>19990435
if they're silent you won't notice them and cause an accident
if they're loud you notice them and complain
just chill out

Sold my FZ1, my V-Strom 1000, and now selling my Ninja 250. Riding is fun as fuck but after my last crash it's just not worth it anymore. I've done trackdays and ridden the best mountain roads in the country so it's not like I haven't had my time in it. Dual sports are fun but fuck they're overvalued compared to ten years ago, everybody thinks they want one now. I see myself coming full circle back to 4 wheelers with a wife and kid now.

>>19988671
because i'm in a wheelchair and the bike they do have for people like me looks gay as fuck

>>19990468
have you considered that maybe riding a motorcycle feels good on its own merit, especially when you have the road all for yourself? looks or attention is a minor motivation if one at all.

>>19990541
Vstrom 650 xt is my make it present to myself. Rest of my gains unironically going towards starting an orphanage.

>>19990657
V-Stroms are fantastic bikes but I would feel like I was letting you down if I didn't ask you if you'd heard of the 2021 Tenere 700 with the CP2 engine

>>19990754
Little shallow of me but im not a fan of the styling of the Tenere. Only heard good things about them though

Got a gsxr 750 myself
Nothing like riding back from the gym in a tanktop and mog on weaklings driving some piece of shit car

>>19991000
I like the color

>>19990528
If you ride a motorcycle or motorbike, you should automatically be at fault in an accident. These things shouldn't be allowed on highways. Your car insurance is fucked if you hit one of these assholes and they crash. Explain to me how a vehicle with no seatbelts or airbags is allowed the same privileges as a car with numerous safety features. That's what pisses me off.

>>19988671
why don't i just run on to the highway and get it over with? people in America are awful drivers AND people who will damage you for life or kill you without a second hesitation because they had to be drinking coffee that second. the only reason to drive a motorcycle is to impress girls, but the type of girl who likes motorcycles isn't the type you want to attract

>>19988671
My first job was in the medical field. First patient was an angry quadriplegic faggot with an attitude. (Got fucked up when he got hit on a motorcycle by a drunk driver).

What numnut thinks (oh I'll drive without a steel cage or seat belt protecting from death machines all around me....SOUNDS SUPER SMART TO ME). Nothing logical about that.

>>19988671
I have a 2001 Honda Shadow ACE Deluxe

>>19988671
Currently getting my father's 1972 BMW R60/5 restored, was in his shed for the last 25 years. Besides that looking for a cheap piece of shit to learn to ride on until the bimmer is ready, Tw200 looks perfect for that
