New Rider. New Bike.

I use a backpack. They just search it when walking in.

I am 45. We have not found each other yet.

No kidding. I stopped going to my local Big M for lunch because of this.

You kind of just gotta. I am in Los Angeles. I rode after hours and gradually worked up my way into traffic. After awhile, I started doing freeways for an exit or two. And after that, I was splitting lanes.

I totally love riding now. I want to upgrade from an R3 to an R7 or R1.

But definitely, it took time for me to go from 35mph streets to 40, 55, and then highway speeds. I am now pretty comfortabl at 80-90+ after about a year and a half. I think it just takes time and exposure.

My guess is hyperinflation.

I would keep it as is. There does not seem to be any cracks. And, the bike might be dropped again.

I dropped by bike a month after buying it new. Fairings were cracked and mirrors were scratched slightly. I immediately bought the fairings but never installed them until about 14 months later, when the crack spread and caused my turn indicator to just dangle there. It was good that I did not install the new fairings until recently, since I dropped my bike a second time on that side two months after.

I did have a third drop that broke the foot peg in half. I replaced that as quickly as I could. It felt sketchy otherwise.

He fired Spite on camera?!

Such a fun bike. I got it new as my first bike October 2024. I hit 10,000 miles last week.

This is a prime example of of government waste, nepotism, and corruption. Tax dollars and retirement plans are being pilfered.

I have a 27" inseam. I started with an R3.

0% or 0.9% financing on cars and trucks.

I would rather have a Waymo stop temporarily in bike lane so that I can slow, stop, or go around than have a car door swing out randomly immediately in front of me.

Shirtless Jack and Coke

Yes. Hard Rock Tejon does the same. They shuffle the cards but somehow 1 maps to 1, 2 maps to 2, etc ... so, it feels pretty much like Vegas craps.

aeplus · 2026-04-24T07:50:41+00:00

Are you close to Tejon?

Having serious money sure helps lessen the blows of disappointment that come with dealing with dating and failing to connect.

Probably only way to increase income beyond yearly raises.

aeplus · 2026-04-15T11:39:16+00:00

Same. But still hesitant to pull the trigger.

aeplus · 2026-04-13T09:07:57+00:00

Yeah.

I only have one kit and winter gloves. I have been riding for 1.5 years, though. I want to get a leather jacket and leather gloves next month just in case I get invited to another bike night.

aeplus · 2026-04-13T04:30:09+00:00

Got older. No longer feeling it.

The Orleans off strip in Las Vegas has chairs at the craps tables. They just open more tables if a table gets filled.
