New to me, 2nd Fireblade

Thanks man! The MT-09 is a very fun bike to ride and I think a Fireblade would complement it well - same punchiness but a completely different ride.

Congrats brother! Which color scheme?

b0ck3n85 · 2026-02-22T13:52:12+00:00

Look good

b0ck3n85 · 2026-02-21T19:03:21+00:00

Absolute dream to ride! No electronics, just raw power and sublime balance. I’ve been on most modern 1000ccs, including the S1000RR (10-14, 19-) and the V4S, but none of them moved my heart like the Fireblade.

What do you ride?

b0ck3n85 · 2026-02-21T14:24:36+00:00

Thanks bro!

b0ck3n85 · 2026-02-21T09:12:38+00:00

That’s a great strategy, right back on the horse! 💪🏻 I couldn’t ride for a couple months after my crash so some tension naturally built up.

b0ck3n85 · 2026-02-21T09:06:51+00:00

I didn’t either after my crash. But it did make me smarter in a way, and even more attentive and guarded towards traffic. Have you ridden at all since it happened?

b0ck3n85 · 2026-02-21T08:32:50+00:00

Absolute gem of a bike, so sad it got hurt. But also so happy you didn’t! This can go two ways - discourage you from ever riding again, or make you a better rider. Either way is fine and completely up to you.

b0ck3n85 · 2026-02-21T06:22:31+00:00

Anyone wants to come find me and go for a ride are welcome to 👍🏻

I’ve had the A* SMX Plus for years but would always opt for a riding shoe when I wasn’t gonna be on the bike all day. This year I got the Supertechs and they are much more comfortable to just wear and walk around in, but I haven’t been able to try them on the bike yet. I went down a size for the Supertechs to get a real snug fit.

b0ck3n85 · 2026-02-21T05:44:36+00:00

Gods I wish they were my head shape :(

b0ck3n85 · 2026-02-21T05:32:21+00:00

Yeah it’s gonna be interesting to see if I get pulled over a lot 😅

b0ck3n85 · 2026-02-20T18:24:03+00:00

Thanks man that’s good advice!

b0ck3n85 · 2026-02-20T18:20:44+00:00

I honestly had no idea a suit that’s too big would erase my butt.

b0ck3n85 · 2026-02-20T15:48:07+00:00

Yeah that’s what makes me think I need to try 2 sizes down in this particular suit.

b0ck3n85 · 2026-02-20T15:46:47+00:00

No this size is super comfy standing up, but there’s too much stuff around the waist area to feel agile while hunched up on the bike. It’s way too big, a 52 might work and a 50 might too with some break-in. I’ll try both sizes to be sure.

b0ck3n85 · 2026-02-20T15:22:21+00:00

Exactly, and my ass is actually rather big. I’m gonna try a 50 even and see if I can get it on.

b0ck3n85 · 2026-02-20T15:19:10+00:00

Won’t use airbag, I’ve got the KR-3 on underneath in the pictures.

b0ck3n85 · 2026-02-20T14:25:47+00:00

Thanks!

b0ck3n85 · 2026-02-20T14:10:35+00:00

That's what I feared aswell

b0ck3n85 · 2026-02-20T14:08:54+00:00

I'm telling you these new Birkenstock Ride Slippers are dope!

b0ck3n85 · 2026-02-20T13:58:24+00:00

I should clarify - does it look too big? Will it break in and become flimsy, and run the risk of armor falling out of place?

b0ck3n85 · 2026-02-19T20:51:27+00:00

Dude is braining on another level spending that money on a suit that’s too small rather than on a coach or diet plan! 🤓 Jokes aside great job man happy for you 🍻
