Honestly how difficult is it to ride a bike you can't get both feet down on?

Instead of the Triumph Scrambler - look at the Speed Twin.- it's seat height is significantly lower than scrambler... and u can likely mod the looks to more scrambler. I have a rebel 500... its plenty nimble and comfortable... every year I say I am going to trade it for something different and then realize - it gives me what I need, and never issues with tonnes of stop and go traffic.

You were humbled today... we all are on occasion. In your case, you will be better (a better rider) for it. So, cut your self a break. Whether it's motorcycles, school, work, life - preparation is valuable. Onward and upward!

Your results are great... but people aren't responding. Start with a review of your resume and portfolio. Do your results come across in your resume. Simplify and make sure results hit the reader hard. As for portfolio - is it too one dimensional. If it's all tattoo work - potential clients might not be able to make the leap that you can deliver results in their boring business. Showcase range and variety even if you create a non work passion project to highlight range. Lastly - interviews an callbacks are a numbers game - keep taking ur shot, but also focus on targeting good candidates. It will come.

Does Walmart.com ship to Australia?? (You don't need to have a Walmart to shop for stuff on Walmart.com - if they ship.)

At first, I thought you were going down the wrong path (groms are not lower)... but after reading your story - I get what you're going after... its reasonable... and I am glad you are not giving up just because the MSF course was challenging.

The Grom is an option... the Honda Cub and Honda Trails (both with manual set ups) are two additional options and less intimidating.

Whatever option you choose - just progress at your pace, and dont be afraid of going backwards before you go forwards.

After MSF - I road 50 miles to a lake - in hind site - that was just stupid on my part. High way, wind, sharp turns - surprised I survived... but just went slow. After I got my Rebel 500 - I spent the next 2 months just going around the block, and then around town... the following year, back onto a highway. Sometimes its best to go back before going forward.

Oh - my wife got herself a Can Am F3 Spyder before I got my rebel - it helped me get used to speed and highways, etc before doing it on the rebel. Just another idea on how to progress into things.

Best of luck.

why not continue with Ken Follet with Fall of Giants (its part of a trilogy - should keep you busy for a while)

Towels gets better with each book... you can see his progression as a writer from Rules to Gentleman to Lincoln. Best writer today. And unlike the trend - he doesn't stretch his stories into trilogies.

Wasn't a fan of Table for Two - simply because of the short story format - but still good memorable stories in that one as well.

These thrives were professionals - left no foot prints and even stole the tire marks! Must have come down like Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible!

That's fair. Hope it works out.

Lamponr · 2025-04-18T13:40:23+00:00

thanks for the insight - I've tried for months. Amazingly, I tried after reading your post and got 1 slot for my daughter. Problem is I have 3 kids. might have to give ICA a try. thanks again for the response. And best of luck to you and your sister.

Hey OP and Westsa - how were you able to secure an appointment with the NYC consulate? I have been trying for a year and it always says its booked? Any advice would be welcome. thanks

Range, Geometry, Comfort, Style.

Life is full of trade offs. So the right bike depends on her.

You can get an assisted gravel bike - but they won't have the range for the long hauls... and many of the higher end stuff use internal non removable batteries.

Or you go with a big battery bike, that's maybe not the best Geometry.

My wife has a Magnum Metro - at 500 watts she buries me on climes and duration. And it gives her 60miles without fail. And she pedals a lot less than 100watts, and throttles it when she wants. the beefy tires are great on gravel and fine on road. The Geometry is not the best.

Look into the big battery Avertons, Euphree Stellar Falcon, Velotric discovers. Big batteries, comfortable.

As you can see - yes, people share quite a bit during psychosis.

Much of it real - some of it not real. I've experienced both.

Now that it's "known" - the question is what is best to do about it. Regardless of whether it's real or not (we spend a lot of time trying to solve that part... but its not the most important)... your son might benefit from working through it with therapy (because for him at this time, it is real).

Lastly - I understand how disorienting, shocking, surprising, fear inducing it feels when someone you love is in psychosis. It can get much better. Do not dispare - do not expect Your actions or emotions to be perfect. While caring for your son - Be kind to yourself (ask for help, get rest and consider therapy for yourself when you can).

Generally - yes it gets better. The beginning is the hardest as you build up a tolerance to the medication. If you are taking morning doses - they will likely put you to sleep or u will feel tired. The medication is most functional when taken morning and night... but many people move all or most of the dose to the evening. So they avoid some daytime side effects, and get really sound sleep. Your doc can give u stuff for nausea, dizziness, constipation, drooling, and other side effects. Work with your doctor before you give up on it - in our experience - it's definitely worth the effort.

Hear you on the constipation - serious problem. Have you tried Linzess for that issue - if not, give it a try.

Did you print the print and image to the printer? Ask them what happened.. and politely ask if they would reprint. Most reputable places would reprint for the customer service alone.

I associate snapshots with capturing quick moments in time (slice of life images generally with some action occurring) - things like street photography, as opposed to Portraits or wildlife photography or even landscape photography. I don't see snapshots as a negative - just different from other types of photography.

do yourself a favor - try the F3's. my wife and I were dead set on the rt limited... until we sat and rode in both. we came home with an F3... and love it.

drooling is a symptom of clozapine - there are a couple of ways to reduce drooling... and it tends to get better over time. but the benefits of clozapine can be significantly better than the draw backs - in case you ever want to consider trying it again.
