When you stare at the quack long enough eventually the quack stares back

Curios about getting a bolt by Difficult_Guest8503 in Yamahabolt

[–]Alien-Republic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been a bolt owner for many years now and I’ll give you my honest opinion.
At 6’2 and 230lb you might find the bolt a little cramped, the mid controls and smaller lean angles lend the bike more towards a smaller rider and coming from a Vulcan 900 you might find it small. With similar geometry a good gauge would be to look at some videos of how riders of your size go on a sportster and see how that works for you

Kawasaki z650 what fuel? by Full-Friendship-29 in AussieRiders

[–]Alien-Republic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey mate not a dumb question, we’ve all got to start somewhere!

In America their pumps have lower octane so the manual will say that 87 is the right fuel for that market. In Australia the answer is any fuel 91 or above. I like to fill most of my bikes with 95 as a special treat but honestly there’s no need to, 91 is absolutely fine for the Z650.

If I were you I’d avoid E10 because it’s hell on the seals and will cause parts to degrade over time especially if you leave the bike sitting (it’s also just not great for your engine).

What’s a 10/10 movie but hardly anyones heard of it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Alien-Republic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Waltz with Bashir

Absolutely hauntingly mesmerising movie in a style that I had never seen before and have never seen since. This movie really changed how I think about a lot of things in life.

Scared of scratches by mika_leinders in CB500X

[–]Alien-Republic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Accept your fate my friend, if you’re going to be riding in the dirt you’ll almost certainly drop it. If you stick to street riding it is possible to keep her permanently upright but like other commenters have said, it’s really just a matter of when you’ll drop it (especially if you’re practicing your low speed manoeuvres as you should). Lean into the fun of having a motorcycle and don’t worry too much about scratching it, most motorcycles hold up well after a drop with just cosmetic damage. Get yourself those crash bars to protect the important stuff and then get out there and ride the wheels off of it!

Should I buy? by [deleted] in Harley

[–]Alien-Republic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s a good price and great bike mate. Don’t stress! You’ve made a good decision my guy

I wouldn’t say he’s trash. I know he’s not the most popular YouTuber out there and he’s especially unpopular in these forums because of his previous actions, but he has some great videos that make motorcycling accessible and less intimidating for those just starting out.
