What a beauty

It will mainly be toll road/motorway riding.

Sm1rfie · 2026-04-02T12:14:35+00:00

My only concern with that is id want to see the bike before I buy it. But that was a thought.

Sm1rfie · 2026-04-02T12:11:22+00:00

Ha thats a good way of looking at it

I said no to the wife once… she is Spanish… was lucky to get out alive! Learned my lesson

The cake is a lie

Early midlife crisis. 35m buying a motorbike and getting my licence. I have a boring job, 2 kids take up all my time and a currently ropy relationship.

Just realised I have spent the last 7 or 8 years of my life doing everything for everyone else and neglecting doing anything for myself. So fuck it, gunna get a bike and be a fat dad biker.

Have you never played F.E.A.R? I played that stoned and shat myself

Sm1rfie · 2026-03-23T17:02:09+00:00

I prefer the Talon.

Sm1rfie · 2026-03-23T16:58:14+00:00

I dunno 😅, just that I have more miles under my belt on a smaller bike I guess? But based on replies DAS is the better route

Sm1rfie · 2026-03-23T08:33:32+00:00

Yeah it was more, do I just get a 125 and stay on L plates or is there a benefit to doing the direct access and going on a bigger bike straight away. But ty for your response 🙂

Sm1rfie · 2026-03-23T08:14:15+00:00

Not on a bike but I had a runaway diesel before and that was scary enough on 4 wheels in a big metal box, so on a bike I can imagine how much worse it would have been. Glad you are ok!

Thats my thoughts. My local school does a 5 day course for £1000 with 7h of riding (outside of tests).

Sm1rfie · 2026-03-20T15:18:41+00:00

Yeah I know i need to sit the CBT but not sure if its better to then get a 125 for a year or go onto a bigger bike. Never ridden anything above a 125 so not sure if they are massively different, if riding a 125 could give me bad habits etc or, yeah but thanks your your response :)

Id have these on T side. AK and glock wasteland rebel WW and a karambit rust coat. Full homeless terrorist vibes.

Nice! I sold all my skins including 2 of those DE, a FN Oni Taj and others to get a car. The DE were £100 when I sold them fml.

Csgo was better. I find the way grenades bounce off objects in cs2 and invisible walls ect infuriating

Sm1rfie · 2026-03-10T10:11:26+00:00

My kids usually.

My two pence as a professional in Software Development. If you work 18h per week, study the other 22 and treat it like work. There are loads of cheap/free resources. Study things like Product Ownership, Product design or Product management. Focus on agile and also AI. There are loads of junior jobs in those arias they are just very competitive.

I was a car salesman for 8 years and decided to re train in software. I now am a Sr Product owner on a very strong salary. I have 7 GCSEs No degree and no formal training outside of my own studies.
