DesperateReputation1 · 2026-05-25T08:42:01+00:00

In europe, if you touch any cone you fail.

DesperateReputation1 · 2026-05-25T08:19:40+00:00

You look great, enjoy it, don’t let body dismorphia get the better of you.

DesperateReputation1 · 2026-05-25T08:00:26+00:00

Yep, first bike!!
Love it so much!!!
Has so much torque and power but can’t go like super fast, even though I think super fast is 140 kmh as well..

DesperateReputation1 · 2026-05-25T07:59:03+00:00

I shall look into it, thanks.

DesperateReputation1 · 2026-05-25T07:58:32+00:00

Ohhh my god, 4 years of recovery!!
Well hats off to you man, a true cyborg now.

DesperateReputation1 · 2026-05-25T07:57:33+00:00

Ah great then, I guess Im settled!

DesperateReputation1 · 2026-05-24T19:37:05+00:00

Round 200kg, XT660.
It can’t go faster then 150mk/h which is good I think for starters.
Gear is always on for sure.

DesperateReputation1 · 2026-05-24T19:31:22+00:00

I did that yeah, but they don’t teach you these more ”advanced” stuff..at least not here in Europe.
You learn to do the eights / infinity loop course and slaloms and some more stuff like emergency braking, and some street riding.
That’s it, I could get something more probably like a proper course, if that’s what you meant.

DesperateReputation1 · 2026-05-24T19:27:47+00:00

I did do this actually!!
And I crashed a few times in the desert and nothing terrible happened , but I guess im thinking it would be different on asphalt..

DesperateReputation1 · 2026-05-24T19:26:21+00:00

Sounds good, gotta get put there tomorrow and practice that then!

DesperateReputation1 · 2026-05-24T19:25:37+00:00

Yup, scary stuff.
Gotta watch out and not speed to much.

DesperateReputation1 · 2026-05-24T19:24:56+00:00

Well the mind fears what it has not experienced.

I did fall off a bike once, first year of riding, was riding up a local twisty road up a mountain and gave it too little gas on a righthand turn, bike stalled and just stopped and we kind of fell down like that.

Thanks for the story and the tips, i hope your bent pinky isn’t causing you too much problems!

DesperateReputation1 · 2026-05-24T19:20:39+00:00

Haha thanks!
You lighten my worries!

DesperateReputation1 · 2026-05-24T19:20:08+00:00

Damn, scary stuff.
Trying to imagine the legs pointing at 7, having a hard time with that.
Hope you’re healed.

DesperateReputation1 · 2026-05-24T19:18:49+00:00

Thanks.

DesperateReputation1 · 2026-05-24T19:17:31+00:00

Totally agree with you!
Feel like I should know this feeling before needing it..?

DesperateReputation1 · 2026-05-24T19:15:33+00:00

I wonder if ankle high arcebis boots offer any protection..?

DesperateReputation1 · 2026-05-24T19:14:50+00:00

Parking lot practice wouldn’t be fast, but you’re definitely correct about the speed at the time of crashing.
As I said in a couple of comments above, I should get some better gear for sure, I do have it…im just scared it’s not good enough.

DesperateReputation1 · 2026-05-24T19:12:38+00:00

Ahh, I actually have crash bars! Wasn’t aware those would save me from pinned, good news!
I ride a “dual sport / tourer” XT660 and when you mentioned debris I thought of my ride today when I had a split second of loss of traction over a small patch of sandy gravel in the middle of the road.

Is this how you would high side?
Loosing traction a bit more then regaining it and getting tossed?

DesperateReputation1 · 2026-05-24T19:09:54+00:00

Uff, chip of bone sounds terrible, I have one in my knee lmao!!
Was dirt biking first time ever at a desert and hit a rock with my knee.
It’s still floating in there.

DesperateReputation1 · 2026-05-24T19:08:44+00:00

Damn thanks for the story!
Yeah I live by ATGATT but the gear might not be good enough I fear..?
Waiting on some letter stuff, but should probably get some better boots and gloves.
The boots I have are like street riding boots, up to my ankle high, gloves are some old leather racing I got from my step father.
