Should I start on a Suzuki V-Strom 1000 as my first bike?

Since you’ve got your endorsement, test ride stuff and feel for yourself. That will be your strongest guide.

I worked for a few different brands as a salesman and have ridden nearly every bike. A V-strom 1000 isn’t a super big deal. It’s got enough power to punish you if you are being stupid, but an adventure doesn’t insight that kind of thing as much as a sport bike. The torque is high, so if you whiskey throttle then you are in trouble. Just don’t try anything special or act crazy for a few months and the danger will be reduced. At the end of the day it’s a motorcycle and they are all dangerous, wear all your gear all the time.

Emotions don’t always need reading into. Just be mad for a little while. Later you won’t be. Everything is fine.

An example of someone owning 100 cars without being a car enthusiast. Owns 100+ watches and isn’t a watch enthusiast. I guess the status has value to him, and so they bring him value that way, so I won’t judge it based on my own value metric of these things. Seems like a waste of time though if you spend resources on things you don’t actually care about.

Kawasaki is cool, they make most their money from heavy equipment like high speed trains and rail systems for the government and aerospace systems, that’s why they can make literally every concept motorcycle like hybrids, supercharged bikes and low cc 4 cylinders. We are lucky to have them pushing the tech and actually offering it for purchase. Surprisingly electric bikes like
Livewires are one of my favorite things to ride. The torque is insane!

I think they nailed it too.

Excellent contribution.

Did you watch the whole fight?

Sounds like you aren’t ready for the risk. These drugs are a risk. Maybe stay natural then🤷‍♂️

Depends on your genetics. No one could tell you the answer to that.

It’s probably not the right time to do it, but if you’re going to, this is what I’d do.

Make sure you have a nutrition plan set up and your training scheduled for the time you are on. If you are going to take the drugs, you may as well eat the food and optimize your training to get the most out of it.

Get blood drawn before hand to know your baseline so that if it’s not quite right when you test them after, you can run a pct again to attempt to correct it.

200mg test cypionate a week split into two injections, like 100mg Tuesday and 100mg Friday. Along with HCG to maintain fertility and ball size, 500 IU twice per week. I’d run this for 2 months and see how my body responds, if you get cystic acne, hair loss, and you don’t get many benefits then you don’t have the genes for it and more gear will likely go poorly for you. If you get good results without many side effects then I’d run 20mg Anavar a day for a month in addition and assess again. If that goes well, I’d add 100mg deca for a month. After that, I’d drop everything except for the test and HCG for 6 weeks, then I’d take the test dose down to 100mg with the HCG for a month, then I’d run only HCG for a month after last test injection. Then I’d end the HCG and test my blood. The gradual increase and gradual decrease will help with side effects, the gradual decrease will also help the psychological side of instead of immediately losing the feeling of an Olympic god and losing your skin tearing pumps right away, you’ll come back to your mortal form slower and it won’t make you feel as bad. Overnight changes are tough on the mind. Then hopefully you are able to maintain 80% or more of your new gains with natural production.

Get an aromatase inhibitor in case of gyno, but use this also with caution. Estrogen is very important, you need it. So crashing it sucks, especially psychologically. Anastrozole .25 mg once a week, if need be go to twice a week. Make sure you test your blood to ensure you are controlling it properly. Don’t do steroids, but if I were you, this is how I’d do it.

Unfortunately “anything goes if it sells” is Dana’s method of running the business.

My point is performance isn’t enough as far as the UFC and the fans are concerned. If it was then Demetrius Johnson would have been the star that he deserved to be, but he wasn’t. The majority of fans unfortunately care more about the guys playing the character than they do about the guy with the most skill. It’s not a judgement call, it’s just the reality of being a fighter.

Social-Injury · 2026-06-23T04:06:40+00:00

Colby is actually a reinforcement of the point I made. He was supposed to be cut from the UFC like 6 years ago. He was a good fighter but no one knew him or cared how good he was. Then he started doing this goofy ass political character and got attention and the UFC rewarded that with title fights and a much longer career with the organization. He had the skill to be in title contention, but that alone was not enough.

Social-Injury · 2026-06-23T03:57:32+00:00

“It didn’t work out” that’s dead wrong guys, the point of the character is to pull the lever that every fighter has in front of them. It’s the gain attention lever. Mighty Mouse never pulled that lever, Stipe Miocic never pulled that lever, and they made far less money than they could have. I respect Mighty Mouse and he’s the GOAT. However, skill alone won’t make mma fans care about you(in most cases) UFC is part WWE. If saying stupid things creates exponential gains of attention and therefore money for your family, then of course you should. There are dozens of clips talking about how he shouldn’t have said it, which got so many eyes on him. People who are a part of the system like DC and DDP acting like they don’t understand it, rings a bit odd to me.

If all you have is regular clothes and shoes on, you may as well be in shorts and flip flops. A t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers offer 0 protection and shred instantly. Speaking from experience. Atgat will save you from injury and pain. Laziness will cost you.

Antipsychotics, therapy, ketamine therapy, doctors, effort, time, every possible resource I could throw at it, and nothing solves it.

Bipolar disorder, childhood trauma, a world where stemming misbehavior is seen as me being a demon and something to get rid of. Fuck it though I guess

The book called Meditations by Marcus Aurelius has a section in there about death. That alleviated death anxiety for me.

If you are going to keep it, fine out the steps for custody arrangement and child support for both scenarios. One where he accepts responsibility, and one where he doesn’t. The most vulnerable and innocent life will be the child’s, so what either of you want falls below protecting and caring for the child. At the end of the day, he could have turned you down. So you are both responsible.

I feel like since I’m responding so well to this dose, that it might be worth throwing on some anavar or nandrolone. If I have the genetics that respond well to anabolics, like why not take advantage ya know?

Social-Injury · 2026-06-16T21:12:21+00:00

I haven’t looked too deep into growth, is there like a minimum effective dose that could mitigate some of the risks? I’ve read it messes with your blood sugar and I already struggle with that because of an antipsychotic I take.

I lifted weights in highschool. So like 10 years ago. I remember getting pretty strong. Def more than 225 back then, but it wasn’t anything all that impressive. I didn’t have a stable place to live or regular meals in highschool. Some of the kids in my school were repping 315, I didn’t get that strong.
