I seem to recently found time to not only ride, but also take pictures of motorcycles. So here are some more pictures of a motorcycle

That's a nice bike! The lens distortion in the first photo made my eyes go in and out of focus for a sec, ha

Slavvy posted:I have, they handle like garbage compared to the nsr and rgv, but they're also super powerful. So a typical kawasaki. Two questions: is this your take on the R3 vs Ninja 400? What is a rotary valve? I always thought of two strokes as being valveless with intake/exhaust ports in the cylinder wall with the timing being controlled by the piston itself, but I guess there could be different ways to do it.

timn posted:Reminds me of a funny anecdote when I was on vacation with some friends in another city. None of them are automotively inclined in the slightest, but they know I ride. As we were walking down the street from the place we were staying at, a Ducati rides by us. After its gone, one of my friends leans over and says to me in a hushed tone, "Why does it sound like that?" Did you tell them there is a tambourine, that's an integral part of how the transmission works?

I always thought of two strokes as being valveless with intake/exhaust ports in the cylinder wall with the timing being controlled by the piston itself, but I guess there could be different ways to do it. I've never ridden or worked on a ninja 400 so I couldn't say one way or another. It's definitely the case with the r3 vs ninja 300, the kawasaki has a much more robust midrange and generally easier to use, the r3 is better in the corners, has smoother more top-end biased power delivery. Rotary valve is a disc with a missing sector that sits on the end of the crank and times the opening of the air intake into the crank case. On modern 2t engines we have reeds which for a variety of reasons (mostly cost) were developed to do the same very nearly as well, but in theory a disc valve still gives you absolute peak 2t performance. Because the valve and intake sit on the end of the crank, the carb has to stick sideways out of the bike; imo this is an advantage on sportbikes but a drawback on pretty much everything else.

You get sick ram air bonus AND your carb is constantly clean from sandblasting.

Yeah I think they’re cell shaded cad models. The way they move in the show is a bit like the ship and other stuff in futurama If you know what that looks like. Anyway the second episode came out and MY FRIEND watched it and said the backwards carb postal cub shows up and it’s got a sick rainbow colored heat treated exhaust as well I will say the sound design in the show is amazing. They for sure used real recordings of these bikes, down to the transmission sounds, the ignition key, all that. I mean, my friend said that. Not me. That would be weird

The 3d cars in InitialD were definitely the selling point. Also, distinct lack of any pedo material

Nitrox posted:The 3d cars in InitialD were definitely the selling point. Also, distinct lack of any pedo material Sounds like you didn't get very far into it, then. The main character's kinda sorta girlfriend in the early part of the story is in a sugar daddy relationship with an older man, though that was largely edited out in the US release of the comic books and somewhat downplayed in the animated show.

Not that I was overly invested in the show, but that's just depressing. Please tell me Studio Ghibli cartoons are still okay

A) That is a very small component of the first season of the show, which focuses more on the loss of trust and loss of what was supposed to be pure relationship. B) That is (and sadly still is) both a very common practice in Japan and also a very real social problem people they deal with. It's not some forced or contrived thing. Initiall D is definitely one of those faultless animes that is just cars cars and more cars

Today I got a nice healthy reminder about not outriding your sight lines: This thing literally took up two lanes. I came up behind it on a nice long straight but for the rest of the ride I approached every blind hill crest with a lot of caution.

Dumb question: Is there functionally a difference between motard and supermoto or are they just regional terms for the same thing? Either way, I really want to try it.

Mister Speaker posted:Dumb question: Is there functionally a difference between motard and supermoto or are they just regional terms for the same thing? Either way, I really want to try it. I think there was once a distinction along the lines of supermoto was the sport and supermotard was the bike? Certainly I remember when they started hitting the streets of the UK in the early-mid 90s the bikes were definitely known as supermotards (although it's possible this was just an insult being hurled at the people putting BT96s on CR500s) and the competition as supermoto, but I don't know if that is in turn just a regional thing.

Lmao finally after sending out my head, where they determined one valve needed to be replaced but otherwise looked fine, I bought a cylinder and piston kit, installed it and wouldn't you know it all my smoke out the tail pipe problems are gone. I'm thinking the stock cylinder finally fried cause there was one small vertical stripe on it when I took it apart. Went for a shakedown Here's where I stopped 5 minutes later because I forgot to put coolant in it because SOMEBODY forgot to tape a sign to the starter button to do that this time. lol husqvarna owners

 Hope it wasn't literally five minutes. I once rode a hornet 250 up and back down the street with no oil in it cause I made a similar error. Didn't seem to hurt anything, bike was a piece of poo poo anyway.
