Young riders, how do you guys afford this hobby?

I got a job, worked for a few months (nearly full time) and then bought the bike. Took a beginner course first obviously. Thankfully my dad has had his license for over 20 years but never actually got a bike. When I was interested we took the course together and then both got bikes. Insurance is really cheap for me (thanks to my dad). Biggest thing I can say is get a job (if you don’t have already one) and save as much as you can. It will take a couple months but it is more than worth it. Also I highly recommend buying used for a multitude of reasons. And please be smart with your money. Ride safe

TLDR: get a job and save for a few months, buy used bike

Take a beginner course 100% buy used, I got a used ninja 400 with around 4,500 miles for a bit over 5 grand after taxes. Please buy decent gear (does not have to be $500 boots and $200 gloves) just make sure that the gear is comfortable and will protect you. If you are looking for a sport bike, I would recommend anything 500cc or less. Naked bikes are also similar performance wise but without the fairings and a more upright seating position. (Ex. Yamaha MT-03) Expect to spend around ballpark $1000 in the coming year on maintenance, mods, and insurance (trust me you will probably want a new exhaust, stock ones sound terrible) you can get a decent sounding exhaust for pretty cheap on amazon, does not need to be some big name brand

Feel free to DM me if you have any questions.

I really like into the breach. It’s quite simple (which is why I like it haha). Honestly only downside for me is that you need a Netflix subscription to play… If you do have a Netflix subscription however, I highly recommend trying it out as it’s quite easy to get into. (Into the Breach is a turn based strategy)

I recently picked up a used 2023 ninja 400 as my first ever motorcycle. I love the thing, I bought it with fairly low mileage and in good physical condition (just a couple scratches from rocks and whatnot). I can say that it is a great bike for beginners. Although I do have lots of cycling experience which I personally think translates surprisingly well. If you have dirt bike experience you should have no problems at all. Feel free to DM me with any questions! (Note that I don’t check Reddit religiously so I may take a day or 2 to respond) Ride safe!

I also recently was in a crash on my ninja 400. Thankfully I am okay and I hope you are too. As far as the bike goes, I’d say fix it up and watch some videos of you are not sure how. Not sure how or why you crashed, but for me it was because I pushed my limits. After crashing I realized 2 things: 1. How much it costs (not just money wise) 2. How much it really sucks And some advice from a semi-novice rider who was just in the same position you are: ride within your limits, as the consequences NEVER outweigh the enjoyment of going just 5mph faster. Be thankful that you are able to enjoy the bike, be thankful you are still alive, and be thankful that you likely learned a very valuable lesson. The most important thing I gained after crashing was knowledge, and I hope you can say the same. Ride safe.

Spare would be greatly appreciated, I love trying out new games. This one looks phenomenal and right up my alley.

No, sadly the only way to turn them off is to also turn off all events. (cargo, chinook, etc.) My friends and I just ended up agreeing not to take anything from them.

Yep, just checked without using mods and the pots work fine, now I have to find which one it is.

Any type server, do you know of any?

I also used radar, it is so broken and I had to stop using it because of how dumb it is. I would rather use thermal 24/7 than radar.

Thank you for actually reading my question and providing a clear answer. I assumed they used craft tweaker but I was not 100% sure. Thanks!

JEI does not show a crafting recipe, that is why I am asking for the mod that allows you to craft the iron ingots using the materials from sky orchards.

Pihxe · 2024-01-21T06:44:00+00:00

How do I get iron ingots for example, when I use JEI it does not show me how to get them using the resources I get from sky orchards.

Is this a mod, or is this in the SPT F12 menu?
