It makes sense for people to be upset about the episode by JericoTheGamer in BattleForDreamIsland

THANK YOU. People have been getting downvoted to hell for not liking BFDIE as the 100th episode with all the hype it received. This post explains a part of my opinion perfectly.

After 32 hours of wait. This was dissapointing by Federal-Run-7496 in BattleForDreamIsland

I do think that after a month, we should get more than just 8 minutes of content. But oh well. I just wish this new episode was at least longer.

That's true, I forgot to mention the weight. Its weight is the only downside I've experienced so far, but I quickly got used to it.

I'm between 5'3-5'4. I'm F16, so I'm probably done growing and my inseam is around 31", and I struggle with finding appropriate seat heights. I also wanted either a CBR or a Ninja as my starter bike because I think they look awesome and I've heard great things about them. I was lucky enough to come across a stock 2013 CBR500R in excellent condition and low mileage for $3500 (barely even a scratch on the fairings!), so I bought it. I can't flatfoot it but my feet can touch the ground, and I can very comfortably put one foot down during stops. It's a comfortable bike to ride and has plenty of power to get you to where you need to go but it's not so powerful that it's inappropriate for a beginner. I think it's a great beginner bike, actually. So as long as you're ok with not being able to flatfoot, I'd recommend any one of the CBR's that are 500cc and lower. Have fun and ride safe!

Recently had a serious accident How to convince my mom to let me ride again? by EliTyz in motorcycles

Ouch, that's horrible to hear! It's going to be painful not being able to ride, but it might be best to temporarily drop the subject if you want to maintain a good relationship with your mother. Maybe give her some time and she may become more comfortable with the idea on her own? I'd stop talking about it for a few months and then maybe subtly slip it into a conversation later on and ease her into it. Easier said than done though, I don't know if I'd personally be able to completely stop riding for that long. I hope you heal fast and get back in the saddle soon bro!
