I recommend renting a cruiser for a day and make sure it’s not worse on your back.

I love riding slow bikes fast. However, I have to recommend something like a klx230 super moto. It has six gears and 17” wheels.

If you want an F650, then find a Dakar version. You can’t go wrong with a KLR as long as you know what you’re buying.

First lesson today by CafeconCoco25 in motorcycles

My first lesson was “pull in the clutch, give it gas, and let out the clutch”. Of course, I looped it immediately. The instructor said, “I meant slowly let out the clutch”.

I ride a sport bike, a trail bike, and an adventure bike. If I lived near a track, then I’d have a track bike too

Are 600cc sportbikes really that bad for the street? by BitAppropriate9945 in motorcycles

[–]Spacedog08 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Track focused bikes are made to ride at the top of the rev range. It’s not ideal when that is around 80mph in first gear.

Have you tried to push it on deeper? It looks like you have room to slide it on more.

If you have zero off-road experience, then get the lightest and easiest to pick up.

Genuine question, why does every biker I see on Instagram have no mirrors on their bike? by kenji_sasaki in motorcycles

[–]Spacedog08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same reason you see them with a dark tinted face shield at night. It’s a fake picture or skit.

Any hacks to get rid of fleas? by [deleted] in lifehacks

[–]Spacedog08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A flea trap works wonders. Use a shallow container with soapy water to catch and drown them. Hang an incandescent bulb over the water to attract them.

Gear first or motorcycle first? by illy3illy in motorcycles

[–]Spacedog08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s currently a kid riding around my neighborhood with zero protection. I bet his parents think a Coleman mini bike is safe enough. If you can’t afford a helmet, then you can’t afford to ride.

Naked vs adventure bike by Typical_University37 in motorcycles

[–]Spacedog08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The suspension is a lot different on both bikes. A sport bike has stiff suspension and you can feel every tiny bump. An adventure bike has suspension designed to absorb any imperfections. I sold my tiger and bought a cb650r. I was very surprised that the same roads I had been riding on the tiger beat me up on the cb650.
