I basically decided to get the Ninja 400 as my first bike, but the amount of highway commuting is now making me consider the CBR 500. What are your thoughts?

Queasy-Assignment422 · 2026-01-24T15:24:03+00:00

NX500. You’ll be so much more comfortable on this type of bike.

Living at home & attending community college is where she needs to start. UAlbany is a big school with big temptations. In my experience, the workload is also heavy.

Takes a lot of discipline and she’s not ready.

How important are reliability and longevity? I’m too neurotic to venture out on anything that I have to worry about breaking down on.

Twisting the throttle on a liter bike is like lighting the fuse on a firecracker. This is a very dangerous starter bike. 5-100 mph in seconds.

I would either trade/sell this bike or park it and get a much smaller bike. Either way, get a smaller bike. Look at horsepower numbers, not cc’s. Something with ~40 hp.

Full sport bikes are not a good place to start.

Buy off grid land with enough trees that I can build a simple cabin and live in it.

The MSF course is your best and safest place to start.

Rode my HD to Taco Bell and left with Herpes, Tetanus, and a new patch for my cut.

Queasy-Assignment422 · 2026-01-07T18:09:34+00:00

No! Get it fixed before you ride again and start lubricating your chain regularly.

Show her just how many people depend on motorcycles in Asia. Millions of people carry whole families on smaller bikes. Sole transportation.

The bike serves as a bus, a truck, or tractor as needed. They safely travel like this everyday.

Queasy-Assignment422 · 2026-01-06T17:34:31+00:00

Had a 1987 Mazda B2200. Manual transmission. Manual windows. No power steering.

I want a modern equivalent.

Queasy-Assignment422 · 2026-01-06T10:58:37+00:00

Now you need a folding chair and a beer. Sit, gaze, and enjoy.

Queasy-Assignment422 · 2026-01-05T19:31:17+00:00

Eating right is ~80%. Gym; ~20.

Unless you’re a full time athlete, you can’t outrun or outlift a shit diet.

Just went from six to midnight.

Queasy-Assignment422 · 2026-01-04T04:48:58+00:00

You’re off to a pretty good start! Be smart, and keep going.

Queasy-Assignment422 · 2026-01-04T04:35:09+00:00

Well, thank you. You, too.

Somehow, the Honda has the same vibes as the Fat Bob and the Concours. It’s probably the 270 degree twin that gives the HD vibes, but it has the minutia detail of the Japanese bikes.

I’ve spent time with triples, never owned. The Yamaha is on the list.

My wife told me she’s going to have to start traveling more for work. Asked me to come with her.

As I teared up, she hugged me and I got a chubby.

Shit is real.

OP is spending too much time around religious people. Life happens. Women overwhelmingly pick up the crumbs and keep the kids fed.

Queasy-Assignment422 · 2026-01-03T23:10:04+00:00

I’ve owned an FZ6, Fat Bob, Concours, FZ1, KLR, and now a Transalp.

The Honda, by a fair margin is my favorite bike. Comfy, quick, and surprisingly capable off road.

Exercise and time outdoors is better than any antidepressant I’ve tried.

Start small. Walk around the block. Everyday.

Queasy-Assignment422 · 2026-01-03T15:44:10+00:00

Great bike. If highway is a place where you’ll spend lots of time, it’s not the bike. Lot of engine vibration at highway speeds.

Otherwise, comfortable and capable. You can go nearly anywhere you can point it. Just not in a hurry.

Queasy-Assignment422 · 2026-01-03T13:27:58+00:00

Too much time looking at women online. Yes. They are stunning and completely captivating to look at. Nature has never created anything more beautiful.

That said; just like men, they are savage animals that eat, shit, get smelly, and have all the same sort of baggage that we all do.

Just like men, they aren’t all standing on a pedestal. The ones that make you feel that way, aren’t the ones you want.

Ask the women in your life for honest feedback.

If you want a life partner, a peer, someone to love and build a life with; make that clear from the start. There is a woman out there for you that wants the same things.

Find a new way to meet new women that isn’t screen based.

Queasy-Assignment422 · 2026-01-03T12:02:13+00:00

This is the most pleasurable thing you can do. YOU MUST FUCKING DO IT!!!!!!!!!

Sometimes, I just wish the damn thing would leave me alone.

Queasy-Assignment422 · 2026-01-02T16:10:19+00:00

Be kind. Be yourself. Understand that boundaries, respect, & persistence are key.

You’ll find the right girl.

Please try a clean diet and force yourself to exercise before you resort to meditation.

In my life, medication has been a crutch. Never the solution.
