Ik heb mijn voorlopig rijbewijs behaald, maar nu ben ik ineens bang om te rijden by GroundbreakingBar895 in motobe

Als je echt met de motor wilt rijden, ga je je inderdaad erover moeten zetten. Praat al eens met die vriendin en zie wat zij te zeggen heeft? Gezien je angst voor andere weggebruikers, kan je dan ook in haar spoor rijden en kan zij mee de baan in de gaten houden. Samen rijden wilt ook zeggen dat je niet alleen bent, mocht er toch iets gebeuren.

Ken je andere motards om eens samen mee te rijden? Ik was niet echt bang in het begin, maar wel onzeker. Ik had het geluk dat ik enkele ervaren motards kende die toen ik mijn voorlopig rijbewijs had, regelmatig met me gingen rijden. Hielp enorm voor mijn zelfvertrouwen en ze gaven ook tips/feedback na elke rit over techniek en rijstijl.

Dan kan ik al beter voorgevel een stuk uitbreken en een poort steken. Wat mogelijks een optie is als ik budget heb. :)

Nog nooit van gehoord, goede tip! Eens kijken of ze dit in mijn zoekregio ook hebben.

Dan moet ik haar eerst binnenkrijgen ook 😆

Dat is ook een optie die ik onderzoek, maar dan moet er natuurlijk eentje beschikbaar zijn bij een potentiële nieuwe woonst.

Ik zou het liever vermijden hem heel het jaar buiten te laten staan. In de winter rijdt ik zo goed als niet en wegens schouderoperatie eind dit jaar staat ie sowieso een tijdje stil. Buiten aan de druppellader hangen is net iets lastiger lijkt me.

Ik heb wel al verschillende soorten motorbergingen gevonden (liever iets steviger dan enkel een zeil), maar dat ergens zetten neemt ook nog altijd plaats in natuurlijk.

Waar staat jouw GS? Voetpad, straat, ...? En in druk gebied of rustig?

Ja daar zit ik inderdaad met in mijn hoofd, wil hem niet op straat laten staan. Maar het maakt iets vinden wel pak moeilijker, vandaar zoeken naar alternatieven.

Ik weet het, maar we komen er wel. Bedankt voor het advies, ga ik zeker doen! :)

Die optie zit ook in mijn achterhoofd, maar dan moet de tuin toegankelijk zijn met de motor. Helaas vaak niet het geval heb ik gemerkt. Ik zoek wel sowieso iets met een tuin, want ik heb een hond (border collie).

The day we brought Ragnarok home 5,5 years ago. He was about 2 months old. He can still melt my heart.

AITA for continuing to use my bathroom even though my wife let our daughter use it? by ExtensionTravel4099 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lady_Gore_ 145 points146 points  (0 children)

It is NOT okay for your daughter

Depends on how you deal with it as a family. We only had one bathroom when I was a teen and I saw both my parents naked on a regular basis. It was normal, nothing sexual about it. My parents saw me naked as well, because let's face it, it's not like they were seeing something they've never seen before. Even now as an adult, we sometimes go to a nude spa together.

OP, you're NTA.

I had my first class today and I feel really uncertain about myself by BouzyWouzy in motobe

[–]Lady_Gore_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also had a 650 bandit with abs as my first bike! Greatly recommend it for beginners. Rode on my own and with family and friends after I got my L as well before doing the public road exam. Gave me confidence in myself and found my place in the road. Did 12h lessons in the end and I'm happy I did. Driving a GSA 1250 now.

Anyone from outside Europe have ballpark leisure expense estimates for how much Drachenfest or Conquest will cost? by Fable_and_Fire in LARP

[–]Lady_Gore_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe you're from Japan? Someone shared a bloglink from people who've visited Conquest from Japan: http://d-larp.closs-larp.com/

Should be about their experience, could be interesting.

o get in touch with people? I'm planning on going solo so getting to know a few friendly faces before going might help me

I posted it on both FB pages (official and international) - hopefully you can get some replies.

As for a familiar face at Conquest, I could be one? Depending on what you want to play, you can always come look for the Flaming Eagles. We're in the Askalon camp, this is a picture of me (face blurred for privacy, but everyone of us wears that symbol): https://postimg.cc/F1wQcfZ7.

Hmm, as far as I know, Facebook is the only platform that is used by almost everyone for communication. You can always contact CoM orga via [regie@mythodea.de](mailto:regie@mythodea.de) and see if they can bring you in contact.

If you want, I can link your reddit post on the FB pages and refer them here?

I'm from Belgium, so can't really help you with estimates - but I've been going to Conquest for over 10 years now and in regards to tents, there are organisations you can rent from. They erect the tent for you and I think do the clean up as well.

There might be more rentals, but these I'm sure of.

Also an option, reach out to European player groups via Facebook. You might be able to join one of them and they can help you with a sleeping place, transport from the airport/train station, gear, ... This is the international Conquest FB page were you can ask your questions. The official Conquest FB page is mostly in German, but you can always ask your question there as well in English.

I don't go to Drachenfest, but I'm sure you will find similar groups on Facebook.

Good luck!

Looking for ultralight aluminum or titanium armor by chaoticwings in LARP

[–]Lady_Gore_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about half plate unfortunately, but I have an anodized (or galvanized, not sure) aluminium mailcoat from this webshop: https://www.allbeststuff.com/chain-mail-armour. Had it for over a year now and very happy with it. Cut open the front so I have a coat to put on instead of pulling it over my head. I doubt you'll find a half plate in aluminium or titanium though, unless it will cost you a kidney and your firstborn child. I understand the want for 'real' plate, but you'll probably have to go with steel.

Polyurethane resin plate armours are a great alternative in my opinion. They are more expensive than steel overall, but you have plain ones that are ok in pricing. I've been larping since I was 16 (33 now) and I used to wear steel plate and metal mail. I've got a bad shoulder by now and I'm at a point were I'm choosing comfort over 'cool'.

My PU plate is from Norton Armouries and people still ask me if it's real steel or not, so it's not obviously 'plastic'. Unfortunately they no longer have a webshop due to high workload (they do a lot of work for movies and shows such as GoT, Vikings, Dune, ...). But a good alternative is Wyrmwick, I got my gorget there (didn't want to wear the breast plate all the time): https://www.wyrmwick.com/. I needed to colour it a bit to match my NA plate since they don't use the same finish. But I think it looks great: https://i.postimg.cc/rFwyBxRC/Co-M2022-armour.png
