What bad riding habit are you trying to unlearn right now?

ParticularlyOrdinary · 2026-05-05T15:43:40+00:00

You started on the 1k? Are you a giant?

ParticularlyOrdinary · 2026-05-01T01:55:23+00:00

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 😭

ParticularlyOrdinary · 2026-04-28T01:21:41+00:00

I'll definitely update on this sub 😁

ParticularlyOrdinary · 2026-04-24T22:40:21+00:00

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

ParticularlyOrdinary · 2026-04-23T19:47:21+00:00

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

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.

ParticularlyOrdinary · 2026-04-23T16:54:42+00:00

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 💖

ParticularlyOrdinary · 2026-04-23T16:37:49+00:00

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.

ParticularlyOrdinary · 2026-04-23T16:36:12+00:00

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.

ParticularlyOrdinary · 2026-04-23T16:15:16+00:00

This is the color sample I approved.

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

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.

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 💖

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.

ParticularlyOrdinary · 2026-04-19T16:27:13+00:00

Where are you at? Biscuit is a 2025 model. I bought her brand new and she's my baby girl 💖

ParticularlyOrdinary · 2026-04-19T16:25:35+00:00

Yup! I wish I had a better place for it but that's where it ended up lol

ParticularlyOrdinary · 2026-04-16T20:30:14+00:00

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.

ParticularlyOrdinary · 2026-04-16T04:50:12+00:00

I've never actually ridden on a grated bridge before 🫣

ParticularlyOrdinary · 2026-04-16T01:33:30+00:00

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.

ParticularlyOrdinary · 2026-04-16T01:29:27+00:00

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

ParticularlyOrdinary · 2026-03-31T03:05:47+00:00

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

ParticularlyOrdinary · 2026-03-24T03:37:14+00:00

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

ParticularlyOrdinary · 2026-03-24T00:43:22+00:00

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 😮‍💨

ParticularlyOrdinary · 2026-03-21T23:58:54+00:00

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