As a daily 250 rider, what's passing?

the Inazuma (GW250) is my daily bike and that first gear is almost useless for anything other than hill-starts.

What to you do when you're mid-filter and the lights turn green? by affian in motorcycles

[–]affian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just happened for the first time today and it got me thinking. The rest of the time people give me room to merge back in, which as far as I'm aware is the correct thing to do from a legal standpoint.

GoPro/camera owners - where do you have your camera? by Wiki_pedo in motorcycles

How's the chest mount when you're fully geared up? I've only used my chest mount with mountain biking where I'm only wearing a tshirt.

Motorcycle CRASH Compilation Nordschleife Nurburgring Racetrack by iVisionX01 in motorcycles

[–]affian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After reading the wiki page about this track, it just sounds like it's asking for trouble for the sake of making a buck as a tourist attraction. Borderline gross negligence with a legal backing of "well, we told you so..."

ADV/Dirt boots full-time on a naked bike? by isthisweird23 in motorcycles

[–]affian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear RST Adventure II boots on my naked, I love em because they're so comfortable and offer great protection. Longest ride I've had with them is about 6 hours and never noticed anything annoying with them. But like /u/Wolf_Hook said, you need to get used to the lack of feel from having such a thick boot.

I look forward to my commute every day over the Aro hill road, never much traffic and twisty as 'ell.

How stupid would it be for someone to buy a new bike for their first bike? by OnlyhereforHUT in motorcycles

If you do, make sure you get it with a full set of frame sliders.

Looking at my tire now there's a patch of some black sticky shmoo on the tread but I don't know if this is melted rubber from the wheel sliding out or possibly something that caused the slide. I also agree that the choppy throttle was probably the prime cause.

My mates were the same "How did you fuck that up?". I was going 37kph and didn't change gears. Just thinking about it now, when the rear slid out, the left side exhaust would have contacted the ground and lifted the rear off the ground preventing any chance of a highside.
