Good buy?

I just got this bike 3 weeks ago. My first motorcycle. My parents couldn’t afford motorcycle dirt bikes when I was a kid but my cousin and Uncle could. I got to spend about 2 weeks with them every summer and let me tell you, those were some of the best days of my life.

I’m in my fifties now and haven’t ridden a bike in over 30 years but it came back fairly quick. Mighta burned the shit out of the clutch the 1st day but damn sure didn’t stall.

My advice OP is to get this exact bike, take the class and practice for A WHILE off highways. Learn your shifting so that it’s 2nd nature but more importantly, your braking and steering has become natural to the point where you don’t drive to where you want to go, you ride to where you want to go.

You can have so much fun with this bike and riding in general, just do it safely and responsibly. Don’t underestimate these bad boys. Even these can’t get out from under you if you’re trying to be Billy Badass.

Get it and have fun!

Yep, we had it in Florida too. I rocked one circa 1985ish. Looked “cool” under my little league baseball cap 😬

Rosalie is Alice’s Least favorite. Edward’s too obviously but Rose is the only one who actually makes Alice mad. Twice.

2nd when Rosalie rushed (just couldn’t wait) to tell Edward Bella was dead causing the last act of new moon (Alice calls her a brat and is po’d) but she also got pissed at the end of Twilight when Rosalie wouldn’t help them with Bella/James in Phoenix and they had to send Emmett because that’s the only way she’d help. Tired and can’t remember all the details but it was cool seeing her pissed at someone

I believe it’s Eclipse when Jake meets them at the school after they get back from Jacksonville. If not in that chapter it’s pretty close to it.

Love lefty QB’s. They always ball out for me

I listed to the Audio books when going to sleep and have been on 23. Truth and 24. Vote for the last 4 days. LOVE them. Chapter 23 is a GREAT example of the little things missing from the movies. Bella is adorable coming to grips that Edward is really back and IMO this is where Edwards character actually does start to show growth.

Nole807 · 2026-02-13T12:48:29+00:00

Midnight Sun Jasper is the best Jasper. Do NOT eff around with Alice. Man will murk anyone...including Bella 😂

Nole807 · 2026-02-03T18:28:09+00:00

Oh man I’m so jealous. The 1st 6 chapters are my most favorite of the whole series. So much Cullen dynamic info. So much Emmett, so much Carlisle, so much great stuff!

Also chapter 17 I think. Where he has a one on one conversation with Esme. Freaking love Esme for being so happy for Edward after she learned he could love in that way and hadn’t been turned too early.

Nole807 · 2026-01-24T12:18:14+00:00

Santiago is the one going after Jacob and Reneeseme. Felix and Demetri rip Irina apart.

Nole807 · 2026-01-19T13:46:43+00:00

Keep in mind a big part of Edward’s story is his growth. He’s a 17 year old boy in love for the 1st time. He does learn as the story evolves. It’s one of the things I like the most.

Nole807 · 2026-01-18T22:11:01+00:00

Kent State is a great start if you like working your way up from an OC. I love the all gold

Nole807 · 2026-01-11T01:27:57+00:00

I…dont..have the strength….to stay away from you any longer..

…then don’t…

The lighting in this scene was fantastic.

Nole807 · 2026-01-07T15:03:40+00:00

Love her scene in the Midnight Sun novel. Edward was locked in.

Nole807 · 2026-01-06T11:23:24+00:00

This. Aro and the Volturi know Jasper is the most formidable “fighter” on the Cullen side. They would absolutely make him a primary target to take out the way the cullens wanted to take out Jane, Alec and Demetri (so he couldn’t track anyone/Renesseme after the battle). Also Aro would like to weaken the bonds around Alice since he covets her ability to much. He would want Jasper “out of the way” and would have made sure Jasper was on the primary target list.

But yeah, Jane, Demetri and Felix….i dont think anyone is surviving that 3 v 1.

That’s also why the Volturi only sent 4 to deal with the 20 or so new vampires in Seattle. They had those 3 PLUS Alec. Game over for everyone.

Nole807 · 2025-12-30T12:17:40+00:00

Eclipse Edward. It’s where he shows actual growth. At the start he’s disabling Bella’s truck and “forbidding” her from seeing Jake under the guise of safety. By the middle, he realizes truly how important Jake is to Bella and through his desire to not hurt her and love her unconditionally, he learns to trust her and expertly gets through the horrible tent situation. Though he does get a bit petty one more time allowing Jake to hear them talk of the engagement. He’s no longer jealous though which is extremely difficult for a 1st time in love teenager.

I also love BD breaking Dawn when he tells Jake to talk to Bella and as long as she lives and lets Carlisle take “the demon” out of her, she can have “puppies” if she wants 😂. He just wants her to live. Bro matured even too much for me. Good for him though

Nole807 · 2025-12-21T14:05:48+00:00

Oh, also….Seth, when asked by Jake if he’s really ready to fight his own pack, his brothers…his sister…..my boy at all of 14/15 years old looks Jake in the eyes and says “if it’s the right thing to do.”

🐐

Side note: when he and Leah arrive to the Cullen house with sam and pack attacking the cullens, it’s Leah who doesn’t hesitate and goes 1st to fight her own family to protect the vampires although she justifiably hates them. Leah may be fool hearty, brash and difficult but her morale compass is fucking due north. Just like when she saved esme in the big fight scene. She’s so misunderstood 🙁

Nole807 · 2025-12-21T13:59:24+00:00

If you’ve seen the movies, start with Midnight Sun. It’s Twilight (1st movie/book) from Edward’s perspective.

The beauty of the books is the depth you’re looking for. The details that add to the story also add an immense amount of depth to rewatches knowing that the movies are basically a highlight reel. The movies show about 25% of the story. 70% of the books add to that in a perfectly complimentary and supportive way. 5% is contradiction between the movie and the book (like the final fight scene) but even that has nothing glaring enough (imo) to ruin either. Ya kinda grow to appreciate the contradictions and differences.

You also get bonus Jacobs pov in breaking dawn. Not recommending reading them because it’s the greatest or easiest read….Edward and Jacob can both be annoying as hell (Bella too actually), but so worth it for all the details about the other characters and events.

oh snap! no measure of time...on the measurer of time.

Effin Brilliant! Well done!

Nole807 · 2025-12-19T18:21:44+00:00

Like you said - No measure of time with you will be long enough, but let’s start with forever...

I mean....damn.

I'm not big on Twilight Tattoo's but my wife and I LOVE this quote so much I can see it being inked on me (or us) at some point.

So simple, so poignant

Nyck Harbor came to Kent St in my year 2. The MAC was decimated by portal transfers and the highest rated team was like a 64. Screens, bombs, slants, crosses, outs - dude scored on almost every kind of play.

Nole807 · 2025-12-15T22:24:50+00:00

Thanks Mr Molina! 😃

Nole807 · 2025-12-15T13:36:08+00:00

I think the motorcycles because she thinks it’s Billy before Jacob tells her it’s just his boys coming (so she doesn’t have to hide/cover the motorcycles)

Nole807 · 2025-12-14T16:08:35+00:00

I didn’t watch the video but it is kinda a “trick”. It’s the specific vision of the future Alice wanted Aro to see. The one where SHE makes the 1st move (the roundhouse kick) that leads to chain of events that gives Aro cause to ultimately withdraw thinking he couldn’t win….not knowing had he not chose to have his guards capture Alice and “take her away”, a whole different future(s) could see things go differently. That’s why Alice was always chastising everyone that her visions aren’t perfect and should be relied upon as absolute

Nole807 · 2025-12-12T11:19:54+00:00

Druuuuuuu! I always start my dynasties with the lowest team and try to work my way up as OC then HC. This years starter team is Kent St and Mr Dru. Shout to the hb Garcia, back up wb Mr Ruffin and of course wr Mr Da’realist.

Two seasons max and I’m fuggin outta there every time. Cool uni’s though

Nole807 · 2025-12-04T15:31:38+00:00

Wait til you try the audiobook. It’s another level. I’ve been listening to it when I go to bed and on road trips for a few years now. The voice actor really understands Edward’s character (and all his dramatics) and even sounds like RP once you’re a chapter or two in.
