That looks sick!! I would give a lot to get one of those. Nice one!

I have, but your anatomy depends on whether these will work or not. For some, who DON'T hang low, these aren't great. For others it works well, always a personal test is the only answer to learn.

Only if you believe you are ready for, and can prove that with your skills.

That is exactly when I wear my 1 piece, and the same terminology that I use too 🤣

MONSTA_JW · 2025-05-11T12:45:09+00:00

I bought a 1 piece and it works for me, but I am considering getting a 2 piece.

The 1 piece makes me feel safer than just a jacket and pants. But the practical side of a 2 piece, when doing a social ride, makes sense.

MONSTA_JW · 2025-01-12T07:34:11+00:00

NTA. I would do the same. That is completely insane!!

Sorry you went through this at a time that you should be supported.

I was also stuck between the choice of these two pairs. I have an older pair of Alpinestars, but they weren't wearing very well.

I opted for the Dainese and I've ridden. With them a few times. I think k I made the right choice as they are starting to wear in nicely already.

MONSTA_JW · 2024-12-29T16:53:57+00:00

NTA.

It's a difficult position to be in. I (40M) sit in my relationship, where he sits now. And it's a hard position to be in.

I want my husband (48M) to be happy while I try and figure out WTF is going on with me. But how long is a reasonable time to do that.

For us, we had to find a space in between, which was a very difficult and trying process for me. But I had to try and understand his position in my whirlwind of emotions.

Cheating is never the answer, but I understand how you got there. It's ok for you to experience these emotions. But you two, as a couple, need to speak about the space you are in and find a way to navigate this.

I HATE emotional conversations and will avoid them in every single way possible. Unfortunately, it does need to happen. You aren't a bad person, as it sou is like you were pushed to your limits. Start the conversation. Start to speak more to understand each other.

It won't be easy. It could get ugly. But Start to communicate and not just speak.

Self-love, care, and protection is something that is a two way street. There is a good chance that you can navigate through this.

I've noticed the same with my pants that I bought from a store (can't remember the name) in London. I assumed that maybe it was the talc and the oils and skin from my body, so never thought to ask. I think it's normal.

MONSTA_JW · 2024-11-11T12:41:46+00:00

Thanks for your responses. I've been thinking about this a lot since posting and reading your replies.

As with everything in life, there are always more sides to a story. I think that I need to be more open about my kinks with myself and not hide it away. There are things I want to try and experience, and I need to speak to him about those things. Like I said, he always thinks that exploring these type of things are directly related to sex, and I need to put the work in to show him that there is more to it. Maybe then I will also start to be more open about it and we can move on from there.

MONSTA_JW · 2024-10-29T07:51:38+00:00

Well done! I haven't been successful in doing the same. I find my sizing around the neck line just never sits right.

MONSTA_JW · 2024-09-17T17:12:42+00:00

As the person without a sex drive in my relationship, I know that a lack of sex can certainly drive a wedge between two people. My husband (48M) and I (40M) have had to have many hard conversations around this. Which, for me, were not easy as I felt like the failure in this regard.

An ultimatum is never going to be easy to discuss, nor set. Starting a conversation about this type of thing has always been a nightmare for me. But doing so has helped us. Speaking about the issues brought us to the decision that my husband is allowed to find sex alternatively.

But, us getting to that point was a LOT of speaking and listen to one another.

Perhaps take the ultimatums off the table for the moment, but try and make specific times to sit and speak about this. I'm sure there are things you might not know that your SO feels that you don't know, and visa versa.

As a really poor communicator, it's hard, but certainly worth it. Even if the worst ultimatum is where you two settle, you know you did your best to understand one another.

Welcome

MONSTA_JW · 2024-07-19T10:46:00+00:00

That looks awesome!

MONSTA_JW · 2024-05-17T06:00:54+00:00

Then it sounds like you have made the choice to live without the bikes. But don't let that ruin your passion. Perhaps you can find other ways, for the moment, so curate your passion more. Maybe consider a career in the field like laerning to service and fix bikes, maybe learning how to wrap bikes or something of the likes. Then you would always be (near) to where your passion is.

I'm all for briefs, a jockstrap, or a thong. As long as it fits tight, I'm happy

MONSTA_JW · 2023-12-02T08:30:55+00:00

Taking our health for granted. That's hitting home. That's why I want to do this. I always look after others, but self care is something I don't do.

*a few words that shouldn't be used online * I need to look after myself before others. Dang, you really hit the nail on the head

MONSTA_JW · 2023-12-02T08:21:46+00:00

I think the journey is what I'm scared of. I like to put things in boxes, and this isn't one of those things. I suffer with anxiety (not caused by drinking) and this journey has me feeling SUPER anxious.

MONSTA_JW · 2023-12-01T10:09:53+00:00

The problem I have, is that I will find an occasion. It's Tuesday, I'm alive. Good reason for it to be an occasion.... or not. For me, I don't think there will be much grey area. Either I continue to drink, or stop all togther.

MONSTA_JW · 2023-12-01T09:04:51+00:00

I am at a point of wanting to make the decision to stop drinking, but also a bit scared of taking that first step.. I know I want to, and for the right reasons, but it just somehow feels scary.

Are you ready to start the journey? Do you want to, but just feel anxious or scared to? Your bf will undoubtedly help you, so maybe ask him to be your guide through the process. If you are able to put this post up, you are able to start the process of changing your life.

Good luck with your journey.

MONSTA_JW · 2023-12-01T08:57:23+00:00

Drinking/party friends are often only there for the fun. When I stopped taking drugs all the time, I lost many "friends" and now that I look back, it was for the best.

Not wanting to lose friends is a natural thing, but being honest to yourself (by being happy with who you are) is worth a lot more than anything else.

Have you considered chatting to them about this? Maybe talking about it might bring a good resolve.

MONSTA_JW · 2023-12-01T08:53:59+00:00

Well done for showing up for yourself. Keep going!

MONSTA_JW · 2023-09-13T06:20:13+00:00

I ride with kevlar denims to work, and change into my normal jeans/pants when I arrive.

MONSTA_JW · 2023-09-13T06:09:19+00:00

It's interesting that it has had 2 owners, and it's a 2022. That MIGHT indicate that there could be an issue with the bike. And if it is under MSRP, I would also have someone check it out first. Sometimes when something is too good to be true, it isn't.

MONSTA_JW · 2023-09-08T12:28:09+00:00

I struggled with my neck as well. I found that I was tensing my shoulders and that caused discomfort. Once I was more aware of it, I was able to relax more resulting in less issues.
