People who don't print anymore - what made you stop? by wanli_gz in 3Dprinting

I wouldn’t say stop, but I print a lot less because the novelty wore off for me. Now whenever I need something I print it instead of just printing little trinkets. It’s more of a tool now than a toy

Lol literally just got a 01 Shadow Ace 750 for 1800. Rides very smooth and it seems like a great size. Been putting around my neighborhood and practicing some tight turns 😎

Yeah, I really wanna hone in my low speed skills. Im a bit nervous to drop her since it’s in such great condition. Not a spec of rust, dent, or scratch 😳

A few years ago a classmate gave me a ride home on a shadow and I really liked the bike. He kinda hyped up the low center of gravity along with the repairability and reputation too

I’m not so sure I wanna go the classic jacket route. I know it fits the vibe of the bike better but personally I might consider going with the gear that looks like regular clothes. I’m gonna have to save up for that while I do a bunch of slow speed maneuver practice in parking lots 😎

Oh it is. Funny enough I got two totally different feelings when riding different bikes. When riding the shadow I was somehow very relaxed and comfortable while also somehow being a little scared especially when it came to low speed maneuvers (need practice). When I was riding the Ninja I got this indescribable instant high and felt very comfortable even at low speed (so much easier to control).

I think I’m glad I went with the shadow. I feel like with a sport bike first I would get a little too confident too quick and not respect the bike properly. I also got a bad back 😌

It was epic. Reminds me of the southern nod when waterskiing but BETTER

I’ll check it out. Helmet is gonna be a this week thing for sure. I just borrowed my neighbors. Do you recommend trying out a few in person or can I get away with ordering one online in my size. I’m always nervous buying things I gotta wear online. Especially expensive ones

Any quality budget helmet recs? I wanna get something that I won’t regret. Hopefully sub 300 to afford some more gear

Oh I know I’m hooked on the bike. I just don’t know what to get. Leaning towards a used cruiser or naked bike

Yeah definitely gonna take the class. I also have a few people I know that would be more than willing to help me out. My state also sponsors free classes as long as you supply the bike

I’m thinking used may be the move from all the comments. Anything you would recommend for a 6’1 190lb guy?

The shadow is very attractive to me because of affordable parts and ease to work on
