/fa/ - Fashion

starting off with some inspo

>The idea of the motorcycle-as-a-useful-tool is more important than copying a specific region's fashion, imo.

what
the whole joke of the original thread of riffing on the eclectic style of south-east asian scooter commuters

>>17157703
I like these, kinda reminds me of picrel, but Cyberpunk.

>>17157741

God I want to play Twisted Metal 4 so bad.

Bump. Somebody put a fit together in person.

want to cop a white ruckus so bad. Here's my old astronaut fit I need to make a new one

>>17158651
Pretty clean anon. If you covered that exposed neck it would look even more space age.

>>17158662
yeah didn't notice until I got home later, I generally use a nomex balaclava now with a nice tan shade to it

threw together a bit of a real life moodboard with some of the stuff I use. going to go take a pic at a neat location this weekend

>>17158709
and probably the location

love these threads. It's always nice to get more inspo for stuff to experiment with. My passion is riding around and taking pics/video of weird stuff

>>17157737
Lmao the brewpipe <3

>>17158713
You're living the dream anon. Always wanted a motorcycle, but I didn't even get a chance to ride a bike as a kid so I'd probably end up as a grease smear. Might end up doing it anyways.

>>17158930
You definitely need to learn to ride a bike before hopping on a moto. But the good news is that once you get the bike down you're about 75% of the way. At the safety course I took they didn't even bother teaching how to turn in depth, because the motion is second-nature if you've operated a bike at speed.

That last 25% can still kill you dead, so be careful. But go for it.

>>17158930
Bikes and motorbikes are dead simple to operate once you realize you just need forward momention and not fuss with the handlebars too much. How you pivot in a real tight circle is you just look to the side you want to go, and lean into it pretty much. The speed will keep you up, and your eyes direct your hands. That's why it's bad to stare at trees you're trying to pass. You go where you look and focus.

A good bike-course will have you doing emergency breaks at full motorway speeds, and tight figure-eights before you're allowed to ride freely. I've broken my thumbs from emergency stops so I do recommend practicing to stop making mistakes and fussing.

Bikes are easy and fun, just focus and never ride when pissed and upset.

Whatsup pimps. I threw this little outfit together buying clothing articles from Guatemalan street vendors. RATE ME!!!

Do you people actually ride motorcycles or are you just larping

>>17160831
This is /fa/, the answer should be obvious

>>17160831
This whole style is a larp retard, it's not feasible to wear most of this stuff on a bike and not get splattered. Just enjoy the look of it.

>>17160831
>>17161057
I spent all my money and continue to spend it on clothes and other effay accessories, so yeah, I ride a motorcycle.

>>17160831
I do

>>17160811
neat

>>17158930
It's just a bit difficult to get into. I'd highly suggest taking an MSF course so you can learn the basics on their bikes and get your license. It's pretty cheap and only takes a couple days for the course

>>17157675
What's that beige sweater?

>>17160831
yes, but I dont wear anything like the shit in these threads

>>17161433

>>17160811

fit is gorgeous

>>17158709
fit is nice what's the helmet

>>17161501
scorpion exo r420. It's really nice for 150$ but I think I'm probably going to upgrade to something with more features soon

>>17157726
Would be cool if skates were motorized

speed and strength lock and load jacket but the one I wear is the liner with all the armor. You can unzip it from the outer shell part and it works super well even if it's 90 degrees out

>>17164604
where can I find those boots or something simillar?

Found this neat leather-cordura jacket for sale. Not really my thing but it's an example of actually-effective safety gear that is a little out of the ordinary

we have a cosplay board bro

>>17166202
>we have a bpd tranny board bro

>>17166202
larp =/= cosplay. /fa/ has a rich and storied tradition of larp. In fact, that's what fashion is.

>>17158709
is that one of those 3CCD camcorders?

>>17161066
it really only works when you're riding a scooter at like 35MPH anyway which is why like that other guy said the first thread was making fun of how they dress in SEA

>>17166202
larping is fun and cool though honestly

Moto Funk!

>>17165909
i just searched for ´black paratrooper boots´ and got those, 99% of the results you´ll ghet are lok alikes

>>17166878
yeah its a canon gl2

>>17167339
I love that camera I had one when I was a kid. We'd use it to make movies and stuff because I remember it could shoot in 24 fps.

>>17167339
nice, does it shoot on those miniDV tapes? I wanted a camcorder and I planned on using an S-video adapter device to get the camcorder to record to an SD card or something as an alternative to recording on tape (which I could still do if I wanted, of course).

>>17167342
It is indeed minidv. I remember using a firewire cable to capture the tapes onto a computer in real time. Very tedious

>>17167345
Yeah I've seen someone online who just plugged in some sort of capture card and had it write to a flash card so theoretically you should be able to use a firewire capture card or something like that

>>17164628
ID on backpack?

>>17164926
w2c pants

>>17167355
Just spent two hours going down this rabbit hole of how to capture directly to card without tape. I think the easiest/cheapest is this thing called the immersion powerplay, which is meant for drones apparently but can be easily rigged for camcorders. I'm not sure if you can change what fps it records in though I'm still kind of ignorant on exactly how it functions. It seems most people use this for recording skate videos

>>17167455
this looks interesting.
>Tapes for these wonderful 'retro' camcorders have become difficult to find, but with the PowerPlay, these camcorders are offered a new lease of life, with storage on easy-to-find micro SD cards.

There must be a cheaper way to do it though

>>17168249
I've seen some rickety diy projects done for less than 100 but honestly I don't think the tapeless set up has ever been cheap. One of the best devices for tapeless recording seems to be the (discontinued) sony hvrmrc1 which is around 400 on ebay at the moment. There is also the more modern Atmos recorders which start at around 500-600 but I think can still be retrofitted to most camcorders. Honestly the powerplay thingy is pretty cheap by comparison if you're set on using a minidv camera. Lots of skateboarders have videos on how they set it up I'm sure they've figured out the current cheapest way. The silver lining of everything is that you could buy a camcorder with broken tapeheads since you're not using tape and presumably buy it for a better deal.

>>17168259
Yeah that's what I'm finding. I see this HMDVR thing online which is really small, and costs $20. The downside is that it seems to only record in 3 minute segments.

I guess if you knew what you were doing you'd be able to use a microcontroller to convert the video signal and write it to a card as a video file. But that would probably be pretty hard to do.

>>17157724
please someone tell me what coat that is

idk i just looked for "slim black army backpack"

I just want to take a second to thank everyone who has contributed to this thread. It is the coolest thing on the internet and a major inspiration. If I make it to Bolivia I will definitely be doing the Bolivian loadout I’ve seen so many times. Here’s another photo from Guatemala, this time on a local Mayans motorcycle. Reppin Tommy on the shirt for my character, Rogue Hilfiger.

>>17169758
you're looking great my dude. post yourself with a fit on some day, i've come to love /fa/ again solely for motorcore

>>17169758
pretty cool anon i hope you have fun. also i hope youre carrying a gun or a weapon for your own good, guero.
>bolivian loadout
dont recall seeing it if anyone has it please post it

>>17169781
It’s the first trend in a while that feels genuinely inspired. Shows me there are still creative people on the board and not just catty incels. It’s refreshing.

>>17170285
same, feel like the creativity in this board is almost fully dead and gone, probably grid thread, waywt and sprezz (rip lmao) were good sources of inspo sometimes

Damn I really want to get my camcorder working now, the tape part is broken but if I could get it to record on SD cards I'd use it all the time

>>17161087
id on pants?

>>17157716
top tier. rlly like this one

I wonder how many people itt actually have motorcycle licenses. I see a lot of fits which looks like it will fuck you up if you fall off your bike at 60mph.

>>17171166
I want to get one

>>17171166
I've been riding for almost two years now. Most of these fits arent safe, but they are still decent inspo.

>>17171166
I have a license. Most of the pictured fits literally as-is would be pretty lethal, but it's not really that hard to slip on an armored mesh jacket under or sew pockets to the inside of pants to protect against impact, which is what really fucks you up (as in kills or maims for life). And a lot of entry-level moto gear is relying on polyester for abrasion resistance, which puts it more or less on par with some of the stuff here.

Even the stuff that straight up is unsafe is good inspo and you can find some neat-looking gear with it as a guide. I found a big 500-denier cordura drover's coat that I use as rain riding gear after getting inspo'd here.

>>17169758
post the bolivian! I've also had my interest in /fa/ reinvigorated by these threads. Feels like something new.

>>17171166
most of these are ripped from an ancient thread riffing on SEA scooter commuters.

!thread survey!: Do you use your moto for commuting, errands and generally getting around - or is it just for fun?

>>17157675
what's that green jacket?

>>17172095
i ride it to work most days. It never rains where I live so it's always riding weather.
I rarely do errands on it because I don't like lugging gear around with me.

>>17172095
its my only transport, rain or shine

>>17170259
haha Guatemala and Mexico aren't nearly as dangerous as the news and shit say they are. The people are actually naturally tranquil. In fact they're better than the United States cause you don't have all the rules or need all the gay protective shit. I've seen up to 5 people on a moto, husband, wife and three kids/babies

>>17161087
Thank you bruh. I dig your style too. It almost has a sort of post-apocalyptic vibe to it.

>>17169781
Thank you so much man. I live for motorcore. I'll work on getting a fit together

>>17173232
as a mexican i can tell you youre very wrong but im not here to discuss that lol

Got an N3B parka, gonna try to put together a motorcore fit with it sometime soon. Wish me luck.

>>17174251
haha idk dude. Outside of the first month riding around Guatemala I've never felt unsafe to be honest. I never felt unsafe in Mexico. Weird sometimes, especially in the small towns where I'm the only gringo, but never unsafe. Probably cause everybody is more shocked to see me than anything.

>>17173237
thanks man. sometimes it just be feeling a little post apocalyptic around here

>>17171166
well that's why they're fits for riding your motor scooter at 20mph in bangkok and not riding your ninja at 110 on the great open roads of burgerstan

obviously for more serious riding you have to care more about safety and are thus more restricted in terms of aesthetics

Hey /Moto/ I own this scooter can you guys make a fit based around this, preferably with an olive alpha industries jacket.

>>17177099
>olive
I'll be honest I don't think cyan and olive look good together

>>17169758
No offense, but are you hypogonadal?

>>17177099
olive jacket won't work with this
find a new jacket honestly

>>17177099
Would get the black jacket instead if you're trying to make a fit

Throw pic related on over top of that, and I think the helmet would work

>>17177402
I don’t think so. Why, do I seem to have feminine traits?

maybe not /moto/, but a pretty sick moto

>>17178662
Nothings more /moto/ than oldschool cafe racers.

theyre not "bad" its just not what the aim is at this thread. but the silhouttes are pretty great

What's with the camcorders?
What kind of activities do these people do with their bikes that require them?

And what about an audio-based one with portable recorders like pic related?
What would it look like?

If you ride a motorcycle and you're not ATGAT you might as well just kill yourself now and get it over with sooner.

>>17183968
It would be for field recordings and electronic music, so maybe something with a silent electric bike, compact clothing that make as little noise as possible, headphones (not necessarily worn at the neck, could just be kept in the backpack), and different types of microphones to attach to the recorder (some dual handheld shotgun mic setup could look cool).

>>17176676
thanks mang

>>17184281
don't think all of that matters when you're forced to record when standing still anyway. if you drove while recording, the wind noise would render any recording useless

t. sound designer

>>17185843
This is all for larping and "the feel" anyway, but if you have a silent bike and don't go too fast, you're not going to generate any wind that a good windscreen (like the big hairy ones) can't shield you from.
Audio gets recorded in windy conditions all the time (YouTube has tons of POV riding videos with decent audio) and there are ways to mitigate it.
Besides, an ICE bike has to be fully off when you're recording, whereas with a silent bike can just stop for a second, record without even dismounting, then go. It's just so much more practical compared to a regular bike.
Even the hum they have is so much easier to remove/reduce in post with RX than engine rumble.

>>17157685
Yoyo was the hardest for me to get, for some reason. Fat little dick-hole.

might get this jacket made with a local leather worker since the og page looks kinda sketchy

>>17183968
>>17184281
Another audio-related activities could be temporary pirate radios.
Going to secluded appropriate places to broadcast for a short time then packing up and leaving without a trace.

But I remain partial to the dual-wielding of shotgun mics held like sticks/batons. I think it looks cool and it calls back to one of the most iconic works of sound design ever:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZj1mYLC7h0

>>17183968
I like to record/photo the places I ride to and camcorders are just really fun to use for lots of things

>>17185843
>>17186059
It's pretty easy to get rid of the wind noise if you stick your recorder inside a backpack, under your seat or something

No the place beyond the pines grid? I am disappoint

>>17188053
I mean. You don't really need a collage for a fit that is already put together on film. The movie serves as its own grid.

thanks duder. Probably wont be grabbing any acr anytime soon though

thats money I could spend on an enduro
