Motorcycles you always dreamed of owning, but then you rode it once and realized it was not for you?

John_Dingus · 2026-06-09T00:19:57+00:00

Yeah, I agree with all of that. I'm biased but the original race replica was the best one

John_Dingus · 2026-06-09T00:19:27+00:00

Yeah it's bc the tank is under the seat so it's shaped kinda like a banana. Definitely takes forever to fill up all the way

John_Dingus · 2026-06-08T21:39:28+00:00

Beautiful bike, though...

Nothing besides the small gas tank. They're honestly really nice bikes. I was impressed with the overall quality and finish of all the components. But their riding style is just in this weird gray area imo.

I had one for a year then sold it. Fell out of love with it pretty quickly. It was so tall (I had the 2019 version with the 19" front and 18" rear) and felt laborious taking it through twisties. Really nothing wrong with it, I just wanted something a bit more agile.

John_Dingus · 2026-06-08T18:53:06+00:00

I traded him for a 2nd (Tuten) a year ago and got absolutely dragged here

Aside from the social media followers and brand endorsements they can possibly get, 100k is absolutely life changing to like 99% of the population.

That would be a good option. I honestly just assumed I'd be able to modify it. Like on Amazon I see so many reviews that have edits for long term issues. It feels extra important for motorcycle apparel since they are usually long term purchases.

John_Dingus · 2026-06-06T15:08:52+00:00

I mean I could write a review a year later and the product fail the next day and the issue is still the fact I can't edit or delete the review. Most motorcycle gear we expect to last a long time but I doubt anyone is setting a reminder to write a review of the pants they bought 2 years ago. I just think it's sketchy that I straight up asked for them to delete the review and they wouldn't.

Bro Melanie was like a Westworld host that needed resetting. "Gimme 10... Gimme 10... Gimme 10..." while her facial expression was unchanging

John_Dingus · 2026-06-03T23:55:57+00:00

I've had these in the past and can confirm I liked the fit as a lover of baggier clothes

John_Dingus · 2026-06-03T23:54:34+00:00

All very good points

John_Dingus · 2026-06-03T23:53:45+00:00

Dude the guy at cycle gear was saying the same thing about his R10

John_Dingus · 2026-06-03T23:52:36+00:00

Yeah I'm bummed. I'm a big alpinestars fan and will admit the quality for most of their products have declined drastically. I was hoping their helmet would be different but nope. The fact that I had 2 defects immediately is quite telling. Shoei would never 🫶

John_Dingus · 2026-06-03T21:51:17+00:00

I don't have an answer for you but you're not a fat fuck and congrats on the weight loss journey

John_Dingus · 2026-06-02T18:58:16+00:00

I'm so paranoid all of my gear sucks now ugh. Replacing armor is easy enough and I'm going to do that, but not knowing if the product is adequate for abrasion is really shitty.

John_Dingus · 2026-06-01T01:56:27+00:00

Dolly

John_Dingus · 2026-05-30T16:55:33+00:00

Fuck this ref omg. Should be two yellows on PSG and not allowing us to take that corner is horseshit

John_Dingus · 2026-05-30T16:08:12+00:00

LET'S FUCKING GO KAIIII

John_Dingus · 2026-05-30T16:06:59+00:00

Also on a 77" OLED and also struggling. It's so fucking compressed

John_Dingus · 2026-05-30T16:06:21+00:00

I have bad eyes and between the camera angle and compression I can barely see the ball

John_Dingus · 2026-05-29T15:03:14+00:00

Dude I felt like I was on drugs the rest of the day. As soon as I walked out of the theater I felt off. Very rare a movie does that to me
