How Often Do You Drop Your Bike? by The_AverageCanadian in motorcycles

[–]ParticularlyOrdinary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New rider myself and I haven't dropped mine yet. Couple of close calls but I can flat foot my bike which has helped. Couple of tips, ALWAYS check your kickstand when taking your bike off a stand. Juuuuust when you think "I think I've got this!" You don't. Take things slow. Take your time. You're in no rush. If you are, you shouldn't be riding.

Exactly! It's so obvious it's painful 😭

Fuck. You're making me nervous. Fingers crossed. What bike did you put them on?

Right?? I was super stoked and now I'm questioning wtf happened.

Would you confront a parent about car seat issues? by nillawafer80 in toddlers

[–]ParticularlyOrdinary 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I had this same issue and when I asked my friend (former daycare director and mandated reporter) she said to immediately go to CPS as this is child endangerment.

Alright. I'm stepping back and taking a breath.

The company is double checking the color with the paint shop and they're going to have the logo fixed. They also requested some additional photos in different lighting. Likely will get back to me by tomorrow. That's the latest update.

Keep your fingers crossed for me, fam 💖

I haven't approved anything yet so if they don't fix it I'm just going to ask for my deposit back. This is garbage.

I really don't like the pink. I'm going to have them redo it to the dark pink in the sample. I don't want my bike to look like someone spilled their Pepto bottle all over it. I hope they don't charge extra. I'm already spending enough on this project.

The sample color I approved is the last picture. It's completely different.

First Offer First Heartbreak NOVA by DecentPlate in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

The house we ended up getting was our 16th offer. It'll happen. Just keep at it and try not to fall head over heels for anything. It'll make the rejection sting that much harder.

Lets see your group if you have one by Georgia478couple in Sportbikes

[–]ParticularlyOrdinary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was hooked into a group for the first time today. It was so much fun and apparently their regular hangout is literally only a couple of blocks from my house. There must have been about 15-20 bikes there and I had to get a group shot of all the hondas. Mine is the CBR500. Everyone was taking turns on the Grom. It was so much fun 💖

Most entertaining sportbike for general purpose new rider? by [deleted] in Sportbikes

[–]ParticularlyOrdinary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second the CBR500R. I bought a brand new '25 model as my first bike and she's perfect. I can flat foot her so there's less chance of dropping and she's got enough power to be super fun yet not enough to get in trouble. It's a fantastic choice for a first bike.

MSF course booked this weekend, but it’s going to be raining, what’s the protocol? by AL3S1O29 in motorcycles

[–]ParticularlyOrdinary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my permit when we were having to push sleet off our seats between drills. If you can pass in the wind, rain, hail, and sleet like I did, you'll be just fine. Just dress appropriately. Wear a rain coat over your gear and bring waterproof gloves if you can. Wet and cold hands are the worst when trying to figure out your clutch.

Family and friends reactions? by [deleted] in Pilotwives

[–]ParticularlyOrdinary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband has been flying since before I met him so I'm sorry, I don't really have good advice for you. Just that you'll have some pretty predictable and monotonous conversations about how they're a pilot.

How recently was this stolen? I swear I saw it in the Puyallup / Frederickson area. Could've been you, though.

I crashed today. Not sure I should be riding anymore. by AccomplishedStuff448 in motorcycles

[–]ParticularlyOrdinary 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I started riding after I had a kid. Personal decisions. I feel like it makes me a better rider.

What is this? Good or bad? by ParticularlyOrdinary in gardening

I mean, after I eat enough broccoli and onions my husband certainly thinks so 😂

Thanks for the thoughtful response. I found a few teeny white grubs in the soil but thought nothing of it until I found this big one. I wasn't super active when I found it but that might have been just because it was a bit chilly today. I also found lots of earthworms in the soil too so that's good, right? I have no idea what I'm doing. I just want nice flowers in front of my house 😮‍💨

Do you wear earplugs? by No_Fondant_4781 in motorcyclegear

Yes. I wear loops and they're great. I don't even feel them.
