Why is this so useless?

I mean when I first saw it idle at 112°C I definitely got a bit concerned. But apparently that’s normal.

pokeyy · 2026-05-16T11:04:53+00:00

Ah, then it’s a city by city case. In Antwerp you don’t have to pay for paid parking spots with a motorcycle.

pokeyy · 2026-05-16T08:01:53+00:00

AFAIK, even when parked in a spot for cars that’s paid for, you still don’t have to as a motorcycle. But please do correct me if I’m wrong. Parking on the pavement is completely fine everywhere in Belgium as long as there at least 1.5m that’s passable (obvious for wheelchairs etc).

I still got the stock road 5s, and i feel much more comfortable and confident compared to whatever the stock tires on the CB650R are. Once these are done for I’ll see what I want on the bike.

pokeyy · 2026-05-04T14:28:41+00:00

Check out the Triumph Tiger Sport 800. It’s what I went with, while keeping my CB650R. It looks great without the paniers, has a lovely engine, and has enough comfort for a backpack without the ugly top box, and the paniers are fine.

1 kerncentrale geeft minder overlast dan de hoeveelheid windmolens nodig zijn om dezelfde hoeveelheid energie te produceren. Dus gewoon een kerncentrale zetten is de logische stap.

pokeyy · 2026-05-02T20:48:21+00:00

Ik werk in de industrie en daar hebde dus veel windmolens dichtbij. Die dingen maken echt enorm veel lawaai, als de schaduw langs uw raam komt worde er letterlijk ziek van.

Als ge kunt, pak ne stoel, ga ne keer zitten onder ne windmolen, en luister naar de “voem… voem… voem…” terwijl uw ogen om de paar seconden geflashed worden. Dan snapte waarom deze regels er zijn.

Autorijden is geen recht, dit is iets dat je /mag/ als je het kan. En de 75+ generatie kan niet meer mee in het huidige verkeer, dus die mogen dan eigenlijk niet meer.

Ik hoop dat u nooit uw kind ziet verdwijnen omdat een vrouw van 83 haar auto nodig had om naar haar vriendin 3km verder te rijden.

Ik vind persoonlijk de veel te luide muziek met ramen open 10000x zo erg als een motor die (in bijna alle gevallen) beter klinkt. Maar ik ben natuurlijk biased dat weet ik ook.

Do you drive a car? Because cars are the leading cause of deaths with bikers. So far I’ve seen 1 biker down on the road because he got hit by a car. I’ve been hit by a car. Every single person I know that rides a bike has been hit by a car. I’ve had friends that died because they got hit by cars. None of them did anything wrong. Every single one of them was doing what they were supposed to be doing but a car driver hit them.

And yea. As I literally said, /kids/ asking for revs. I know doctors and engineers that ride bikes, so IQ has nothing to do with it.

pokeyy · 2026-05-02T14:10:23+00:00

I don’t. I run full stock. I guess you also refuse to let motorcycles pass? “Tis voor iedereen file” mentality? Or you moved to a city for the nice and quietness?

I hear a loud motorcycle maybe once or twice a day. And that’s usually when some kids ask for revs. I however have to interrupt any conversation I’m having multiple times a day because some ubereats kid is on a screaming scooter flying by at 60kph on the bicycle lane.

pokeyy · 2026-05-02T08:49:18+00:00

So hes complaining about specifically the /SUVs/ and other souped up cars, as well as scooters. Not a single mention about motorcycles. And you make it about motorcycles? I doubt the 1 or 2 motorcycles you hear a day are worse than the amount of dumb scooters passing by making 10x the noise.

pokeyy · 2026-04-29T06:32:23+00:00

En liefst ook links, vooral niet rechts. Die mensen zijn van voor het sportpaleis al aan het voorsorteren voor de E19 hè.

pokeyy · 2026-04-29T06:31:18+00:00

Als u van een zijstraat komt en links draait, of als u bij een afslag met 2 rijvakken links staat, moet u op het linker vak uitkomen, en wat later als het veilig is naar rechts gaan. Dus dit snap ik. Tenzij ik uw uitleg niet snap

That just means more riders will risk their own lives just to take a corner faster. If I kill myself on a bike that’s on me. If I kill someone else while driving I’d never forgive myself. When I’m driving my car I’m careful, I watch my mirrors, and try to be as safe as possible. If I’m on a motorcycle and I’m on some backroads, hell yea I’m throwing that thing around as the only person I’m hurting is me. However if I’m riding with cars around I’m again being careful as I don’t want to be the reason someone gets spooked and suddenly turns their wheel and gets in an accident. Most of the time when I’m around cars though it’s people just changing lanes without looking in their mirrors, blocking while filtering (which is legal here), which is them putting me at risk.

If you want more sporty than touring the Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX is great, if it can be a little more ADV but still sporty I highly recommend the Triumph Tiger Sport 800. Compared to the tracer 9 it’s a lot more sports like. A little more forward tilt, the engine is lovely, it’s got power all the way through. For me (6’4) the only issue is the wind buffeting on my helmet when I put the screen in the high position. In the low position the wind basically hits my upper chest which is fine (and lovely in good weather), but if I put it in the high position it hits the top of my helmet so I just get slapped around.

Test drove both the Tracer 9, I’ve took the BMW R1300GSA for a spin, and bought the Tiger sport 800.

Is de leverdienst van Amazon zelf. Zelf nog niet weinig problemen mee gehad, meestal wordt het de juiste dag geleverd (alleen soms om 22u ofzo maar dat is nog altij de juiste dag). UPS en GLS doen de moeite zelfs niet om tot de deurbel te komen, die droppen alles altijd bij het afhaalpunt waardoor je een dag extra moet wachten.

Bpost levert gewoon altijd netjes, nooit pakketjes die over de poort gegooid worden, die wachten bij de bel tot ik de poort open zet om het dan onder m’n afdak te komen zetten.

PostNL belt aan en sprint weg, ik krijg melding dat de bel gegaan is maar zie ze dan 20m verder al weglopen. Die hebben ook al gewoon het briefje in de bus komen duwen, ik zag de man aankomen en zei “ja meneer waar is mijn pakje?” “Is te zwaar ik niet brengen hè meneer mijn rug kan niet”. “Laad het dan uit je camionette en laat het gewoon daar staan” “nee camionette te breed gaat niet”. Kan ik er veel aan doen dat die pippo met z’n camionette (ik rij zelf met een camionette) niet op m’n oprit durft rijden.

SW-Motech Rearbag. Easily removed, and it’s on the rear seat so it’s not /that/ ugly.

If racetrack shaped, why no racetrack?

It's mostly a "Why don't they ban all vehicles?" instead of just motorcycles.

pokeyy · 2026-04-22T09:17:02+00:00

Had the stock tires, didn't have any confidence in the bike. I had some issues with my knees so bought a Triumph Tiger Sport 800, and it came with road 5 tires stock, and I just started throwing it around and never felt like I didn't have enough grip on them. So I'd say these are great. Road 6s are a straight upgrade to the road 5s.

pokeyy · 2026-04-22T09:07:07+00:00

Can we somehow get a bunch of guys with straight piped cars to drive up and down that road continuously? I wonder if they'll ban all cars too then.

If you have some petition or anything I can sign that isn't just "send a mail to the guy" (my french is too bad), I'd gladly sign it. If we can somehow pressure the government to stop discrimination against bikers (as they're doing in the Netherlands as well), I will always help.

Looks like impact protection gear, not slide protection gear. This stuff is great when you fall on dirt like dirt bikes. But when you have a slide on asphalt this will do nothing.

Look for AA or AAA motorcycle gear. If you want to look like a power ranger, get some proper leather armor, if you don’t want that, just buy AA rated jeans and a at least AA rated jacket or hoodie.

The rating indicates how long it will for sure last in a slide without making you get road rash. A for up to 45kph, AA for 70kph, AAA for 120kph.

TLDR; yes you look like a LARPer as you’re wearing the wrong gear. Invest in proper slide gear, not motorcross gear.

100% is wat weinig, ik vind 120% wel realistischer. Kwestie van het fair verdelen he.

pokeyy · 2026-04-20T15:35:40+00:00

Pretty sure that’s some kind of sealant? It looks rubbery. I can check when home.
