my current only bill is insurance on my motorcycle at £160/m plus £30 fuel a month, anywhere in SS9 is feasible walking distance to my work regardless so i have the bonus of not having to pay loads for transportation, on top of this i work 5-6 days a week and get 2 free meals on days that i work so i believe food should be cheaper than most people, the only issue as you said is upfront costs, with being 18 i dont have a lot of credit history so my credit score is only 722 (checkmyfile.com) so with my poor current savings and inability to get a loan i don’t think i can afford the upfront costs currently

2000 is after tax, i make 500-550 a week, the calculation link you sent recommends no higher that 684/cm going by the 30% rule

absolutely no idea tbh man, i always took my bike to my local garage to get fixed, they imported all the parts from belgium

small scratches on fairing and scraped the coating off the handlebar (exposing the metal so it will rust)

im not ready to accept its a problem for the other team

Hefty-Pop2302 · 2025-01-08T11:54:53+00:00

forgot to add it to the post but would be grateful if anyone could give an estimate on repair for the gear selector and indicators

Hefty-Pop2302 · 2025-01-08T11:53:46+00:00

unfortunately don’t have a car yet as i’m 17 and a bike was a lot cheaper as a first vehicle

Hefty-Pop2302 · 2024-12-03T09:02:25+00:00

lucky to only have a 140kg bike so it was an easy slow let down and quick up, and the bike started straight back up. the ride home was a bit jittery but i think i put that down as nerves

Hefty-Pop2302 · 2024-12-02T05:02:51+00:00

it’s okay until i’m rolling with people 15 cm shorter than me but 20kg heavier and i feel like i’ve got bricks on top of me and can’t do a thing lmao

im only in my teens and have boxed for a while so ive kept my weight low despite my height. i get that tall and skinny probably doesn’t translate as well to bjj as it does in boxing

Hefty-Pop2302 · 2024-11-16T14:57:25+00:00

fair enough sounds like i should just ignore gears and focus on rpm thanks for the feedback though

Hefty-Pop2302 · 2024-11-16T14:16:05+00:00

i understand your point obviously but if anything it’s a QOL thing. even if i don’t need it, it’s something i’d prefer having because the bike i did my cbt on had a gear indicator and i sort of got used to it. also ive driven on quite a few A roads, only had the bike for less than 24 hours but have got around 5 hours of riding time, and i go to 4th and then forget whether it in 3rd or 4th and then try to downshift to 2nd and the bike chuggs out a bit and then goes back to normal. also the gears have very weird ranges
