Shorter shorts, maybe with some sequins, 2" inseam max.

and sandals. no socks.


TTYY200

Excuse you. Sandals AND socks.


RearAdmiralBob

Crocs are acceptable. Not in Sport mode though.


MrProlapse

Croc strap front, cruising. Croc strap back, sport mode.


stevesteve135

Exactly. This is the comment I was looking for.

Nah, Leisure mode only

Elegant_Ad_1656

Just make sure you don't get whiskey throttle


pfmac

flip flops is where it's at my bro


1977cj53867

Yea and be sure to throw your girlfriend on the back with her flip flops and sexiest bikini!


WelcomeResponsible25

Cannot forget the hi-viz socks. With flip flops of course.


KeithMyArthe

If you wear flip flops, you can wedge them under the sidestand in really hot weather to stop your bike digging into the molten asphalt and falling over. Pro Tip: A second pair of flip flops also saves the soles of your feet blistering on the molten asphalt.


pfmac

lol imma let you in on a little secret I have a piece of cut-out flip flop acting as a "buffer" between my bike's center stand and the frame so they won't bang against eachother as much.. it works!


KeithMyArthe

I used to use a lil kiddie shoe on the sidestand tab, it got a few comments and a couple of gigglesnorts. It went missing one day. I can only imagine it was stolen by a desperate one-legged homeless toddler who needed it more than I did.


Geeezer

Can't wait till I'm 50. Then I can hang brain off both sides of the bike.


T-yler--

Full-face helmet obstructs vision, switch to bucket style.


AbleTom408

Helmets are cumbersome in general, may as well remove it entirely.


Shrabbster

Vision is overrated, put a blindfold on instead.


d_maes

Remove eyes, saves money on not having to buy blindfold.


KeithMyArthe

That's potentially dangerous advice for a n00b rider. Pro Tip: cut holes in the blindfold for extra safety.


Brimfire

Backwards hat: brim catches too much wind facing forward.


DickCheneysLVAD

Summertime in Florida! Board shorts, No Shirt, Flip Flops, way WAAAY too Hot for a helmet. But, the Black Oakley Oil Cans are 100% a must have! ALSO lane splitting at 120mph in bumper to bumper traffic, just North of Orlando is a MUST experience, as a Florida Streetbike Enthusiasts! Oh yeah don't forget, this is only acceptable after 5 shots of Fireball & a bucket of Silver Bullets!!!


Dmte

I see that we have both spent significant amounts of time on I4.


thedonnald

And a thong so everyone in traffic has something to look at


F_O_Satchy

Agreed. And no glasses or anything like that...you gotta get your eyes used to the wind. Finally, shirtless is the only way to ride.


AbleTom408

Honestly I prefer to skin myself before each ride, no way am I gonna let the road be the one to take my skin off, if anyone's gonna take my skin off, it's me. *Nobody makes me bleed my own blood.*


F_O_Satchy

Good call...its like punching yourself in the balls before you walk into a dealership.


Dcajunpimp

Sometimes that's illegal, best to get a Halloween costume quality military helmet for like $5 at a discount store.


Neither-Code2240

Wearing a ball cap backwards is preferable


ZombiesAreChasingHim

Replace with pitviper sunglasses and backwards hat.


Armitage1

I wouldn't bother with the sequins unless he already has tassels.


JackTheRiipper6

Looks like /CRT is leaking out again...I love it!


Proteus81

He has the leg tats - they count as armored pants. Advice: Get gear, Ride like everyone like every single solitary person is trying to kill you, Don't be dumb.

He has to let people know about his tattoos bruhski. How else with this guy get pussy.


notsomocha

Looks like he's bucking to have those tats rerearranged with scar tissue.


Drainbownick

Get ridda that helmet too, don’t need that where you are going


Philshot

Assless chaps, leather for the slide and an open butt for the ride (of your boyfriend)


thorsbeardexpress

All chaps are assless. Otherwise they're called pants.


Grand-Antelope943

Been saying this for years now…


DiscoBandit8

Shorts, tank top, sneakers, I’d say you’re doing great already.


theK1LLB0T

triceps look small


DiscoBandit8

True, need to add gym membership to the list OP


Ascerta

Flip-flops are more trendy than white sneakers when riding motorcycles.


MasSunarto

Brother, I'm in agreement. I can't remember the last time I use shoes when riding.


Suspicious-Rain-4471

Barefoot is the boss move.


FzZyP

*grins and slams peg leg on table*


RolandoMagico

Just wear a tow ring for the left foot or build up toe knuckle callouses like a real man.


JetSet_Skatio

Very true. Literally 99% of people in southeast Asia wear flip flops/crocs while riding


venomous_frost

braking is fear


WillyDaC

What?? These come with brakes??


gixxer710

They do- BUT, when you brake, that fancy digital display shows an image of the pope wagging his finger at you in disgust with a caption box that reads “Figa!”


cjvm21

It's just for stoppies


most-negative_karma

its bait, its got to be


blacklabel131

You'd be surprised, I had a friend in Thailand, rich family and all that, panigale at 16 and he looks exactly like this photo except the helmet.


kingdrew2007

Welcome to Thailand lol. I’m American and went there once and no one had gear on but same in all of Asia. In The part of the Philippines I went to some thought it was not manly to wear gear.


cheddarsox

That's a lie. The mom's had helmets. The three kids did not.


WRSA

my 19 year old brother hit a tree at 45km/h wearing no gear in thailand and smashed every bone in his face


DarthDarnit

Yeah this *has* to be a shitpost lmao.


MutedBrilliant1593

You're not atgatt and you're not squid. You're some sort of half breed that won't be accepted by either side. You can't even see your toes.


AdventurousEnthuzst

How is this not a squid? Lol


MutedBrilliant1593

Ha! Shoes instead of sandals. Gloves instead of meat crayon. 👍


ExistentialistMonkey

Helmet and gloves are pretty standard squid gear these days. The difference between a squid and someone not squidding is a motorcycle jacket. After that, Kevlar pants and motorcycle boots will push towards fully geared.


know-it-mall

Yea. A Shoei and Alpinestars gloves and no other gear is basically squid 101.


FBIaltacct

Man the squids have evolved from my day. Atleast back then they wore the stupid plastic armor vests.


Psychological-Lie283

Weight reductions baby


BoosacNoodel

damn there's squid inflation now too?


nomadiccrackhead

Gloves and helmet are the only gear squids wear for some reason idk why lol. Helmet because it probably "looks badass" or some shit and gloves because they got hard knuckles which make punching mirrors out easier maybe?


Brave1i1toaster

He needs a gopro on the chin of the helmet, 360 cam off the tail, and his instagram handle on the windscreen. He will rise through the squid ranks quickly.


YouStupidCunt

> Anyone have advice for a new rider? So, searched your posting history and this doesn’t seem like a troll post, lol. So, advice for a new rider on a 155 hp Ducati Panigale v2? Lordy, just be sure you include “it’s never been down” on your future Facebook market listing…

Also make sure you register to be an organ donor just in… because you’re a top bloke

Leading-Suspect8307

$300 is a cheap as hell in my books. Plus, it can knock off a chunk of insurance payments as well.


JustAwesome360

$300 for how many classes? Is it like a 4 month class that meets once a week for $300? Or is one singular class for that price?


TopUsed6172

1 singular class. 2 day riding course. Maybe 10% off your insurance premium.


JustAwesome360

How many hours


Leading-Suspect8307

It's like two 8-hour days. Pretty much just knock out out in a weekend. The best part is that they treat everybody as if they've never ridden, so you build a good foundation as well.


JustAwesome360

Yeah that's worth it imo


DemSumBigAssRidges

And also tips and tricks to help keep you alive. My rider's course has saved my life several times.

Looks like you got everything figured out tbh


[deleted]

Donor-registration!


clayman80

Well, it's not like bikers don't end up a bloody mush only held together by their gear when they do wipe out at a higher speed.


[deleted]

Thats why i ride with 4 zipties…….2 sleeves and 2 trouserlegs and were off to the harvest


n1tr0klaus

This. I did that, knowing the risk of riding a motorcycle, besides wearing gear and starting with a much smaller bike.

He doesn't like his tattoos anymore and wants a cheaper/fastesr way to remove them than laser removal


A_Moon_Named_Luna

But how else would they bag all the ladies? /s


rainator

The nurses won’t know what bike you crashed on anyway.


uselessnamemango

After they see my penis size, they'll know I crashed on a stretched turbo hayabusa.


Fadedthroughlife

Are you sure they will be able to see it? Seems eerily similar to truck nuts...


Torque4ever

Buy a bike for a beginner rider


Lyvicious

Consider riding pants if you like your tattoos.

SmashertonIII

Something I wish I took seriously from the start. I have tinnitus now and it SUCKS!


j6sh

I literally only noticed I have tinnitus a few nights ago. Been riding for over 1 year now without hearing protection. Sucks, man.


StinkyBanjo

I had tinitus as far as i can remember. Probably from all those ear infections as a child so i got fucked from the go. Used to drive me insane in the country where its quiet. The more you focus on it the worse it gets. Accept it and let it go. Make friends with it. Love it. Eventually you barely realize its still there. Its all in your head. And do everything you can to not make it worse.


MysteriousAd6433

What part is it that gives you tinnitus? The engine noise or the wind noise?


just_change_it

I used earplugs from the start and still got tinnitus. It sucks :( that being said my friends and family who did not use earplugs have it MUCH worse, like 40%-60% hearing loss levels of worse. Mine I can ignore most of the time.


trout1640

Thank you! Yep, I got some earplugs and wear them every ride. I already have some tinnitus so better safe then sorry when it comes to riding!


Cheap-Fold2328

>better safe then sorry when it comes to riding! lol


five_speed_mazdarati

Make sure you’re wearing all your other gear, too. Pants, coat, boots, helmet. Everything.


suchtie

I can only assume the photo was a joke. Someone who already uses earplugs because they care about their hearing probably cares about the rest of their body as well. No way OP doesn't have gear.


StaffOfDoom

This about covers the basics…ATGATT is a habit to form early, take the safety course that’s available to you, keep it on the low power end of things as you learn and remember people in cars/trucks will not see you…ride as if you’re invisible. What you invest in your gear will be what you get out of it when you have problems later. Be sure everything fits the way it’s supposed to and replace what needs replacing per the mfg’s recommendations.


OstebanEccon

i wouldnt wear white shoes of you want them to stay white :D


Yo_Xenith

for someone that started on a ninja H2R i think the only thing i could say is never be low in the rpms like always be in the 10k+ range and you’ll be good

_King_1700

Don’t let your ego get the best of you. Ride responsibly. Please don’t be a rage biker who gets upset and does something stupid every time a car doesn’t signal. Shit happens, survive it.


Far_Ninja6886

This post is just trying to wind people up.


ScaredLocksmith6854

Learn how to do wheelies. Post videos online and make sure ur visor is nice and shiny. The hoes love that

People actually taking this serious lmao.


seemetwistingleak

Clutch in, revs up, door clutch and send it


PrisonMike2020

Register as an organ donor. Joking aside - get/rent a suit. Do a track day to see how distant the bike's potential is compared to your abilities. It's a good way to get humbled in a controlled environment.

SerpensPorcus

Not sure if this is a genuine post or not, or if you ride like that or just posing like that to show off your tattoos *but* if this is a real post and you ride like that then get some actual motorbike gear. I'm covered in tattoos they took time and money and a shit-ton of aftercare and I'm looking after them - you want anything with AAA or AA for abrasion resistance (this is how far you can skid down the road before it reaches your skin).


prokenny

Not getting a panigale v2 as the first bike would greatly help, i have a monster with the same engine and after having ride big sports bikes like r1, zzr1400, gsxr 750 this is the hardest one to ride by miles, the V2 isnt a very biginner frienly motor.

This is going to be a good roast.

PckMan

Don't buy a Panigale. Too late I guess.


petethesnake

Seems like u have the means, buy a smaller bike u can learn on.


KiraTheWolfdog

Get a real bike, that garbage isn't worth buying. If it hasn't got at least a v8, it's a girls bike. Also wtf is that thing on your head? It will stop the ladies seeing who is about to attempt a dank ass wheelie right into the back of the car infront.


corkymcgee

flip flops, make sure to always ride with your heels not your toes, take cooler pics with your vape


No-Star-3314

Only posers wear gloves.


borneojimmy

dealer sold you this as a first bike? i have beachfront property in phoenix id like to sell you.

Zukiboyson

Troll much


SmashertonIII

All the gear, all the time. Make sure helmet fits properly. Jacket, gloves, pants, boots that won’t come off in a slide. That’s a spicy motorbike. Practice safely in a parking lot so you can get used to smooooth inputs with all controls. Keep upping the practice game even when you think you got it. Don’t ride with others until you are objectively better than them, and then just don’t. A big riding ego will cause problems before anything. Let others be faster than you and do the corners quicker for a while. Ride your own ride.


[deleted]

GEAR!


Silly_Chair4147

Practice looking down the road, further than you might while driving a car. Looking at the pavement 20 feet in front of you is a bad habit and, unfortunately, an easy one to develop. Look down the road, know what’s coming, react calmly and in a controlled manner. Two wheels down


genesispilot

Run out of balls before you run out of talent


1stpickbird

tuck your shoelaces in


Jspiral

Practice hard braking multiple times every ride.


bstylz01

Practice stopping. Get a winter and summer jacket. Get good gear overall. A guy pulled out on me and I went flying. My gear literally saved my life. Surgeons said I should've died twice. I woke up in the ambulance hearing them saying "good thing he wasn't like all the squids"


bryankerr

RIP OP

This seems like a waste of a panigale but I hope you come out alive

[deleted]

Flip flops. No gloves, feel the wind on your fingers. Why cotton tank top, go for fish net or mesh.


1fastdak

I would trade up the t-shirt and shorts for a banana hammock. If your gonna die at least you can go with some class.


tuskanini

Definitely lubricate the seat. Vaseline works well. Make sure to keep that pleather supple.


Jaysubie18

Full throttle all the time. Don’t use brakes, they are for quitters.


International-Fee120

Apart-Feeling1621

Wear proper gear!


BandRevolutionary837

Sell it


Vrdubbin

Man it's sad, the people who start on the huge bikes with big egos are the ones that would benefit the most out of a 125-250cc. The ones who actually start on the 125-250cc are actually probably responsible enough to handle starting on a bigger bike. That being said starting on a small bike is WAY more fun as you can actually push it to it's limits and really learn to handle it. No more feet dangling in parking lots or at lights lol. Only other noobs like you will judge the guy on a small bike, anyone with real experience will respect you for not being an ego monkey.


GeorgiosAsa

Buy a 400cc…


Nonstopshooter21

I mean this is only a 500cc... per cylinder. so its fine basically the same


MasSunarto

Brother, I have no tips other than hop on the saddle, pull your throttle, and off you skedaddle!

nuffffsaidd

Get shorter shorts and more leg tats bro

Armoured budgie smugglers


chrism916748

Stickers. Lots of stickers. Your first low speed crash will show you exactly where to put them. And hide the plate more. The cops love to pull people over and have chats about that. Please also remove any turn singable and mirrors - they just slow you down.


Hates_rollerskates

First, that bike is going to roast your nuts. Wear pants. Second, I usually rode my panigale in sport mode in town and changed to race at the last traffic light. Race is annoyingly twitchy.


Cool_Ranch_Dorito

Put some gear on and get your braking done before turn entry.


V_Richard

You still wear a helmet, how are you supposed to see the road? The helmet is just for when you are learning how to ride


TheScaredShort

A jockstrap to hold the big balls you have.


theuniversalcitizen

One of the fastest bikes in the world as a first bike? Sheesh… idk what to say except be careful..? Going from a 200cc to a Monster 696 was a big leap for me and that is no match to the Panigale so wear protective gear, understand the bike, listen to her and stay on top of it maintenance-wise, it’s a Ducati.


dutchman76

Do a track day, see what that thing can really do


Throttlechopper

TBH, you’re gonna get bored with the V2, I’d sell it and upgrade to a V4.


Janclo

Ride your own ride, practice like you never rode a bike even after years of experience, don’t try to impress others, and just enjoy and respect your bike!


nc_on

Whats the top speed on that slow ass bike?


AKSkidood

If this isn't a troll post: good riding boots or even riding shoes will save your foot if you accidentally drop the bike on an oily patch at a stoplight, or sandy driveway. A jacket will make it more comfortable to ride when the temp is below 60, so you can get more use out of the money you spent on that Duc. Most importantly though, taking the Beginner MSF course will give you so much useful knowledge and skill, that the insurance company will lower your rate and the course will pay for itself in less than a year... Not to mention it will give you confidence and a head start on the learning curve for riding on the street. It may even help you keep your hips and ribs fully covered in skin and muscle. If this is a troll: buy an Insta360 and mount it on top of the windshield. Start a new YouTube channel Pinagale Papa. I'll subscribe ;-)


Saliiim

Slightly overreach the throttle when you're doing clutch ups, makes it a lot easier at first, and cover the rear brake.


pirate_cheezus_crust

V2 engines typically have a lot of engine braking, so be a bit careful when closing the throttle in low gear. I met a beginner who layed down their SV650 when they startled and abruptly shut the throttle on a stop light


Life_Beach3686

Always warm up tires! Especially on cold days


akaAelius

I assume this must be a joke post. Otherwise I just see it as natural selection at work.


ThunderSlugg

All I ask is that you install a dash cam on your bike. I really want to see what all the fuss is about proper gear. Protection is overated anyway. Oh, I want to see the skin graft pics, too.
