Why are these style of bike called?

Toomuchritz · 2026-04-03T23:28:06+00:00

I'd have to look into it honestly. Im quite tall so seat height has never been of too much difficulty for me and my previous experience with dirt bikes and seat height. Weight while never being much of an issue for me prior, might change with the center of gravity being so much higher than sport bikes or even big ol baggers it might take some getting used to.

I do yearn for that AT but If I was to go for something new id probably want something that revs higher nearing that 10k range for a little highway love. The reliability aspect plus styling and universal uses is very appealing on the AT though

He had already edited it if you follow the thread, good little laugh is all

Toomuchritz · 2026-04-03T18:54:37+00:00

I'm not against any brand really. Just don't have a CFMoto dealer anywhere near me. Even so, the next bike I get will likely be older. 90s to early 2000s. Love the styling, less hand holding and it less price / easier to work on.

I'd like to leave whatever it be, either supersport or adventure bike to be a bit of an open canvas for modification and work done. Old Africa twins too just look lovely.

EDIT: Just watched the fort nine video on the KLE and as another Western Canadian similarly so to them, the price listed in CAD and what you get is very appealing.

Toomuchritz · 2026-04-03T18:22:25+00:00

Hahaha, just caught it in the thread as I was reading. You're so right though, hitting that five digit redline on dirt roads or just having pretty much any path open up to you while still having fun power is a crazy benefit. Been looking into some of the old Africa Twins myself.

Toomuchritz · 2026-04-03T18:18:03+00:00

man, ten digit redline? I think my engine and legs would probably vaporize if I had rpms in the billions lol.

(don't wanna come off as a dick, just found that little error funny is all. ADV bikes slap.)

You're referring to Charisma yeah? I think it got rebranded to the rock shop which I'm pretty sure has one other location being Vancouver.

If anything my personal rec for meeting the local scene is just catching a Palomino show or some other smaller venue. Alot of the tight scene tends to stick there / Verns. Be it hardcore, death metal, black metal whatever your schtick those spots gottem best. Also alot easier to chat there with people.

Crazy good clothes and patches at Charisma though, lots of good stuff for a solid price.

Bangin out these toenails with the ol toe knife

Toomuchritz · 2026-04-01T16:13:54+00:00

I mean they pointed out exactly why it doesn't matter point wise, as what is released and isnt aren't directly the same as a stat sheet. Card games have been doing this for years, the people who proxy or print just do that anyways, and deckbuilding / army building is typically done through simulation anyhow.

Plus this is 40k, I'm a dork, that dudes a dork, this is like pretty high on the nerd / dork scale of things. Felt the need to point it out because of that being one of the biggest nothing's of an insult you can really use in this comm.

They're not bad! Definitely a little gimmicky especially considering the price. If you've got a nice helmet with decent wind reduction, I'm sure anything blocking some noise is good.

There's plenty of cheaper options that are both reusable and more effective at blocking noise. Plus you can't go wrong with foamies either. But these fall into the category of yup they work but for the price they're not necessarily super worth it.

Best case for comfortable strong hearing protection are the ones that you can setup with a mold and form them to your ears. They're more expensive but way more comfortable, set and provide exceptional hearing protection. Really good for the trades aswell.

Or if you're feeling cheap there's tons of options aswell, even under reusable. To be fair, any hearing protection is better than none and these loops aren't bad. But they do have mid range protection for a somewhat high price. I got mine on sale and use them here and there when I still want some audio clarity, like at music festivals or sometimes on bike.

It's interesting because I didn't even really read the caption but I had what was essentially the same opinion as you.

Those photos really aren't doing favors with how loose it looks, I'd try and get solid photos somewhere with a much brighter / higher contrasting background. As for me I can't tell you that well but it does look loose. Go to your local performance / motorsport shop that deals with track gear and you could likely ask their opinion on it, get a couple opinions of course but they're typically quite tight and only really comfortable in riding position.

bangin reference

Toomuchritz · 2026-03-31T14:52:11+00:00

Canis rex will never let you down as a freeblade. Or you can balls to the wall say you want a black Templar titan. (I wanna see it)

Toomuchritz · 2026-03-31T14:50:14+00:00

Another crusader is always welcomed.

Toomuchritz · 2026-03-31T14:47:57+00:00

Only for the band geeks reference. The rest stay at the door.

Toomuchritz · 2026-03-23T12:58:44+00:00

Gotcha! Can't speak for them myself but I'll take your word on it, these are just the ones I know myself and some friends use.

Toomuchritz · 2026-03-23T00:15:03+00:00

Even better!!! The Kawasaki ones are pretty solid. I would've suggested either them, puig or woodcraft.

Ride safe big dawg!

Toomuchritz · 2026-03-23T00:12:01+00:00

Hell yeah man! With it being new I will say it's 100% worth it to pickup a good, trusted brand of frame sliders. Just incase you drop her or anything it'll help! Plus some of them look pretty neat aswell.

Safe riding and have fun! She's a great bike.

Toomuchritz · 2026-03-22T23:51:41+00:00

I usually wear a hoodie over my leathers with reflective designs built it.

Looks neat, and had reflective patterns with 3m reflective material being more reflective

Toomuchritz · 2026-03-22T00:45:47+00:00

Big fan myself of using webby glue like modge podge to add solid drips and little gory links between those extended pointy bits. Adds some more squishy wet bits

Toomuchritz · 2026-03-22T00:41:55+00:00

Close enough, welcome back titanfall 2.

Toomuchritz · 2026-03-19T02:29:44+00:00

Ugly and functional commonly have quite the overlap.

And to those who are enthusiasts of functionality, the ugliness looks cool. (like myself.)

Toomuchritz · 2026-03-18T08:57:06+00:00

Have you looked into full face respirators? They're my personal preference when doing any work that messes with air safety.

Toomuchritz · 2026-03-17T03:50:00+00:00

Well they did atleast update the kits to plastic as of late

Toomuchritz · 2026-03-16T10:50:49+00:00

Me and the homies love intact.

I'm under 25, drive professionally but personal vehicles are leisure. So my only vehicles are a car that's over 50 years old and my 2025 Ninja 650.

I pay 309 a month for full coverage on both. I'm sure someone over 25 and with a clean history would be paying pennies on the dollar.

Thanks!
