Like I get these people all lament the passing of a time when their dicks still worked, but why does every single post read like they're absolutely desperate to gently caress a motorcycle?

They have never experienced actual sexual satisfaction because they begin every interaction with women from the starting point of staggering mysoginy, ignorance and dysfunction so they literally don't know what good sex is like. In this way, even riding a poo poo bike badly can be perceived as 'better than sex'. The unwitting horniness is just an unconscious expression of this; the particular size/expense/other qualities of the bike is just an inadequacy gauge. This feeds into the larger truth that people with zero self awareness are almost never any good at riding bikes because tangible improvement demands taking a long hard look at what you're doing and changing it on purpose. If a dude can't figure out how to turn in smoothly on a bike with a 17" front wheel he's got no fucken idea about foreplay.

HOoo boy My First Fly and Ride OP posted:Finally got my endorsement! OP posted:I took the Ohio MSF course, and after about 14 hours on a Van Van I feel pretty confident. That, And my ten years safe driving practices make me feel like finding an adventure bike inside of an adventure isnt as crazy as I'm being led to believe. OP posted:So, luckily in Ohio we can print off a temp tag online. I find it odd that other states dont have some kind of temporary permit. OP posted:So, there are some yaysayers and some naysayers. Many on both sides have made some great points. Thankfully most people are either telling him it's not a good idea or at least providing some useful information, but then there are some telling him he should be looking for a 650cc etc. HenryJLittlefinger fucked around with this message at 20:55 on Apr 14, 2022 |

I can't tell if it's good or bad for me to read this because I'm caught between "oh nooo" and "at least I'm not this overconfident," which makes me worry I'm going to be overconfident because at least I'm not this guy. Which, to be fair, is how I feel any time I open reddit or get bored and click on a DanDantheFireman video.

I can ride a bike plenty good. but then spending an entire day or multiple days in a row in a bike is an entirely different thing. and oh boy if you happen to try it with gloves or any other kind of gear thats even the slightest bit uncomfortable. what’s tolerable for 20-30 minutes will make you wanna die after eight hours in the saddle

Wow there are a lot of new posts in the advrider threaHenryJLittlefinger posted:HOoo boy flynride  With all the riding I've done on and off road over the years, including 800 mile days on a 250, I STILL won't fly n ride. When I think of riding my first bike home, how it ended up being a 3 hour shitshow instead of an easy 40 min, dropping the bike twice, this is hilarious. Coredump was all "nah man I'll ride it to your home its no worries" and I thought nah I got this. This dude is proper hosed if they go through with a flynride. Quadruple so if they buy anything other than a ninjette to ride back. Jazzzzz posted:Not sure if it's against the rules for the thread, but if not, post the ADVRider link.

Probably a futile effort, but I'll give it a shot You convinced me to rent a van and stay the night to rest up when I got the 690. That was the right choice and I don't regret taking your advice. edit: Dude just said they want a KLR to get some off road experience

Yeah I left the part about the KLR out. I think he posted a picture of a Gen 2 even. I just hope he doesn’t get hurt. Seems like a nice enough guy, just a wheelbarrow load of hubris.

HenryJLittlefinger posted:Just check the Perfect Line subforum, it’s near the top of the feed. I posted in the thread with an offer to meet up, we'll see what happens. Not gonna lie, that thread and his other posts aren't giving the best vibes yummycheese posted:I can ride a bike plenty good. but then spending an entire day or multiple days in a row in a bike is an entirely different thing. I've done a couple of long-ish distance fly and rides that crammed 8+ hours of slab into a single day, including one where I got stuck in a rain storm for a couple of hours with gear that turned out to not be waterproof. You're spot on - unless you're used to rides like that and are prepared mentally and gear-wise, it is absolutely miserable, and even if you are you're still going to be stiff and sore when you get to your destination and likely won't want a drat thing to do with the bike for a few days.

I did one, the ktm, actually bought it from an inmate on advrider. it was like my 9th bike, not my first. It was fun, but definitely shitshow adjacent with a 13 year old Austrian bike and questionable service history. You really need to go in prepared. Prepared for the absolute worst. Not just bullshit with whatever new to you unproven bike, but also whatever gear your have, the given weather over the expanse of unknown you plan to ride, and plan the equipment to carry on board your bike, for whenever the unexpected happened. Then fitness. Nobody accustomed to three plus wheel life is gonna be used to riding 8+hr days on two wheels. No new person is going to have enough background experience to have their poo poo together for this sort of thing. This guy fresh outta msf class suggesting a many thousand mile trip to the rockies? hahahahahaaa. Lmao on page two of watching youtubes thinking they're ready for semester finals.

I keep thinking of the goon a couple months ago who went to look at that FJR and it looked great in the ad, owner sounded encouraging, and showed up to find long neglected brakes and some other big safety thing. Was that Remy Marathe? And yeah the fitness aspect of a fly n ride of more than a day's riding. This dude has no idea what your rear end and hips feel like after even 4 or 5 hours in the saddle if you're not used to it. On an unfamiliar bike. Plus the mental drain.

The first time I attempted a multi day ride was on a bike I’d owned at least 12 months, had hundreds of miles on it. I got about three hours in and had to stop in a grocery store parking lot, lie down in the grass, cry, then nap. My body hurt but it was mostly the thought of all the miles I still had to ride.

I do 8-10 hour a day activly touring on my bikes all the time. But never straight superslab. Its on familiar bikes on windy roads that I've planned ahead with a good break regime (always a break maximum at around 1h15m) + the long lunch, a proper 45mish stop to eat properly and relax. The every 1h15m ish stop can also be combined with stopping at the World Biggest Rocking chair or similar.

Was that Remy Marathe? Yep that was me, and my next test ride was 2.5 hours to ride a ZRX that died on me like 2 miles into the test ride due to carb & electrical issues that I limped back to the dealership while the owner followed me in his car, stalling at every light. Tying back to the rex post last page, despite being a standard position the pegs were more aggressive than I was used to, so none of the above tell me flying to a mystery bike and riding it home is a good idea unless you've got lots of time and contingency plans ready to go. I still wouldn't trust myself not to try it if my brain gets taken over again, bike fever is real. Remy Marathe fucked around with this message at 02:50 on Apr 29, 2022 |
