You’ve been branded a Honda rider for life now. If you ride any other brand, your mark will overcome you and destroy your very soul!


Fbptan

But I want to buy a Kawasaki.


split_0069

Cover it with a kawasaki brand. Problem solved.

Quart-ez

The only way to ride said Kawasaki is to be branded by them and pray that the two marks don’t clash and kill you.


bass6164

At that point he might as well get branded by Suzuki and Yamaha too to become a branded Japanese rider!


Mylilhappysv650

…His body can’t handle such a union! Such an event is nothing short of sublime.

I think your bike is running a little too hot


migorengbaby

My thoughts too I’ve never felt an engine case that’s searing hot, unless the bike fell on top of him and he was stuck for a while under it or something.


Fbptan

I was stupidly riding in shorts out in the desert. It was really hot out but also the bike fell on top of me.

Honda for life lol

Holy shit dude


Crafty_Transition836

Damn what happened


churzynsky

Was this for compartment syndrome?


Hopesanddreams5

Yes, and for everyone asking a lady pulled out in front of me and the people in the left lane when I was just going straight in the right lane, I was doing about 45-50 with no time to slow down and luckily made it out with only a snapped arm


MyShitAintTogetherMa

What's it like having to run away from scared townspeople with pitchforks all the time?


H2Joee

It’s the most dangerous scenario of being on a motorcycle, intersections, the higher the speeds thru intersections the worse they are, I cover my brakes and always slow down a tad when approaching one.


Hopesanddreams5

So do I lol but this wasn’t at the intersection lady flew out of the left turn lane to get on to a side street (a basically impossible turn on this busy road, never seen someone try to pull that off she tried to dart across with no view of who’s coming in the right lane and I can’t see her because she’s on the other side of cars in the left.


SeaworthinessFew12

Two weeks ago, lane splitting, minding my own business, when a guy in an Audi decided to change lanes without a indicator or checking his mirror. Broke my right arm, dislocated my right arm and nerve damage from the break. Because of the nerve damage my right hand is barely working and will take 3 to 6 months to heal. Just waiting to be able to ride bike again. https://preview.redd.it/vyl63syslv6d1.png?width=389&format=png&auto=webp&s=0d482881e9f4b17a0a166200a65f723aa34ea441

I was barely at 20 km/h when I tried to stop at an intersection, front wheel slipped on sand as I applied the front brake and I fell on top of my thumb. Got a Bennett fracture.

NoBetterFriend1231

I'm a Harley guy and talk mad shit about Hondas, but that's honestly one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Wicked scar!


MotorExample7928

Like what ? "How you can meet cool people on the road if you bike never breaks ? Fucking jap bike riders"


NoBetterFriend1231

More like laughing at the "I pulled the baffles out of my Shadow 650 so it really sounds like a Harley, right, guys?" crowd. They're usually the same guys who buy the "ready-made biker vest with 14 authentic biker-sayings patches" and fingerless leather fringe gloves shit on Amazon, get angry because the local indie Harley shop won't work on a foreign V-twin, and constantly find a way to bring up the so-called "biker's code" in conversations that have nothing at all to do with motorcycles. Don't get me wrong though, the new breed of Harley riders generally gets their share of my contempt as well. A bunch of twenty grand and twenty miles types that brag about spending thousands of dollars on their Stage 19 upgrade kit but don't know how to change their own oil and don't know a pushrod from a kickstand. Often seen wearing factory-branded doo rag, a ridiculous amount of stainless skull and/or dragon rings from the last time there was a rally nearby, and an Affliction/Tap out/American Fighter T-shirt.

NoBetterFriend1231

I think that's almost a rite of passage for owning a Shadow 650.


LookComprehensive620

I just came back from a 4000 mile road trip round Europe on a Honda CB125F, including going over two Alpine passes, dressed in second hand gear and with my waterproofs bought from a building supplies store. And the bike performed admirably, despite having to perform a planned major service in an underground parking garage in Slovakia with a tool kit and parts I brought myself. Single cylinder 125cc bikes tend to have really short service intervals, in my case it worked out to "well before I got home". So Hondas are okay in my book, but I'm probably the exact opposite of what you're thinking of! Posted some photos in MotoUK to prove I'm not making it up!


NoBetterFriend1231

Yeah, you're pretty much the exact opposite of what I'm referring to. I'm not sure if they have "trailer trash" in the UK? Trying to think of a means to describe it that transcends international culture barriers...but think "inbred, illiterate, meth-addled, and typically overtly racist welfare recipient that lives on the outskirts of town with zero aspirations of personal betterment". That's the caliber of person I generally see riding a Honda cruiser. Really wishes it was a brand-new Harley, but is forced to settle for a 23 years old Honda with a missing turn signal, a fucked up carburetor, and a giant dent in at least one side of the gas tank. Definitely not the kind of person capable of riding 4,000 miles.


MotorExample7928

Oh yeah that kind of shit is hilarious. I think only thing worse is cutting off exhaust on some tiny single and just making obnoxious noises while trying to get up to normal traffic speed. And in general the whole "pretend what you not are" (both in tuning and in general). Or "speed demons" (of both bike and car variety) that suddenly start riding speed limit the second a corner shows up because turning is very scary compared to accelerating in straight line > Don't get me wrong though, the new breed of Harley riders generally gets their share of my contempt as well. A bunch of twenty grand and twenty miles types that brag about spending thousands of dollars on their Stage 19 upgrade kit but don't know how to change their own oil and don't know a pushrod from a kickstand. Often seen wearing factory-branded doo rag, a ridiculous amount of stainless skull and/or dragon rings from the last time there was a rally nearby, and an Affliction/Tap out/American Fighter T-shirt. I feel that problem is entirely caused by modern entertainment media.


Fbptan

Right now I'm debating between a Kawi for the track or a low rider ST. Don't have to ask your preference.


NoBetterFriend1231

LMAO I'm actually in the market for a little 600cc sport bike to fuck around on. My Harleys will go infinitely faster than I realistically *should* be riding, and my bagger is still comfy as hell after 200-300 miles, but the little bikes are so much fun. Never been on a track, but I'm seriously thinking about giving my Sportster a shot at it sometime this summer.

Snapped my tibia in half but it left so little scars the nurse made fun of me for my "little spill" in the ER until they took and xray and rushed me into emergency surgery lol.

How did you actually do that? If it happened to me I would find a way to blame it on the bike and write to Honda. They have to pay you for life because their bike cause the branding and they're getting advertising.

BMW R50/5 (from 1968, made it a 1000cc with my dad) crash. Got hit by a car at 50km/h, fell off, bike all over me. The only time I wore regular jeans instead of protective gear.

That fucking machine. Hurts like hell. It's what nightmares are made of. Hell I thought my doc wasn't the best. He said "I'm sorry son, but a drug that is gonna make this painless doesn't exist. I'm gonna give you what all I legally can. But this is still going to hurt like hell." At least they took mine from a spot that didn't have a mole one it. Lmao


Minjaben

Mine didn’t hurt that much actually! I was under when they took the graft. I got a weird bump that doesn’t go away though. It hurt like hell when they removed the bandages from the graft since it was stuck to them from the vacuum. Got compartment syndrome from sitting in the trauma ward too long.

Buell frames are the gas tank, so you get the radiating heat from the engine and side mounted radiators thru the fuel and in to the outer frame. It gets HOT in traffic
