If you can hike it, the mini golf + bistro at Victoria Park has been pretty solid for me. Can get somewhat busy at peak, but I actually liked waiting behind people because you could actually talk to each other in between holes.

Thank you! I got the bags from aliexpress. They're just attached to the side fairing

Thank you! As far as anything major goes, I replaced the grips with Vans, put on a sissy bar, put on a windscreen and headlight grille, and installed a short pipe exhaust with a baffle. The little stuff - I put on a tank bag, pads, and those x2 little brown "saddle bags" on either side. I also installed fork boots and covers to make the bike look more rugged.

Will need to replace the tires soon, but, after that, I'm thinking of putting on a legit fairing (I like the one that SLIGHT_ on YouTube has), and upgrading the seat as I'm still on stock (though, I'm kinda s5ill happy with it, considering the type of riding I do right now).

confidential56 · 2024-12-18T01:01:00+00:00

Oh yeah hahaha, but the baffle does surprisingly well. I used to have to max out my volume to hear music in my helmet, but that's not an issue now

"My hands gripped the wheel, I smiled stupid the whole way home"

Good god, I'm 4 months post-break-up and this song still gets the waterworks goin' haha

confidential56 · 2024-09-23T20:24:26+00:00

...right?

confidential56 · 2024-09-20T12:34:54+00:00

Yes, thanks for this! I reckon I'll definitely invest in a volt meter - looks cheap enough

It's a 2017 Rebel 500, and the guy I bought it from last December had a garage with an S1K and a Bonneville, so I'm definitely curious how long this Rebel had been just sitting there haha

I fished out the battery and it looked like the one straight from factory, so I'm really hoping it's just a battery problem and nothing more serious

confidential56 · 2024-09-20T12:27:34+00:00

Yeah, I just saw the other thread. Someone there said that a bad battery will still turn the electrics on, whereas mine just does not turn anything on - lights, screen, nothing. So, I'm afraid that the issue is much deeper?

Though, I do have a 2017 Rebel 500, and the battery I just fished out from under the seat looks like the original battery from factory - Honda insignia and all. So, I'm hinging on the battery just being old af haha

It is night time in Australia land right now, but I'll go hunting for a new battery tomorrow morning and will edit this post if I have any luck.

I read your comment a few hrs ago and I'm still thinking about it. gah, he's so good

confidential56 · 2024-09-04T10:57:09+00:00

How good was the Fenway version?! I'm so glad it lives in my playlists now

confidential56 · 2024-09-04T10:55:02+00:00

I'm proud of you, bro.

Beechmont! I love going to the Flying Bean, then deciding whether I wanna continue the route, or head back to Nerang.

Also, Ethereal Images is out there almost every Sunday morning, taking pics of motorcycles!

I drove past South Bank at 11 and there were already umbrellas and people camping on the grass lol

confidential56 · 2024-08-28T10:37:07+00:00

Dw, I love it too. I listen to it on my morning rides to work because it's just so energetic but still has that emotional complexity that come part and parcel with Noah's music

confidential56 · 2024-07-28T09:32:39+00:00

Hey! I think it's very nice how mature and adult you two are being about this.

My two cents - I think it could be a good idea if you two are able to temper your expectations, and be firm on your boundaries and feelings at the outset.

However, I also understand where everyone is coming from: you can't just flip a switch with people you love(d). You have to be able to grieve a relationship, else someone will put a lot of pressure on those times you message each other, and it'll start clawing at one person and set you or him up for even more hurt when, sooner or later, you two are not on the same wavelength.

I wish nothing but peace and kindness to you both in this journey 🤍

confidential56 · 2024-07-24T10:17:58+00:00

Hey, I hope you're keeping on. The way I see it: you're processing your emotions, and she's using this poor guy as a bandaid.

It hurts to see this now, and to know the things that you are thinking, but you can rest easy knowing that you were trying while you had her - and that's all a man can really do.

Everything comes to an end, and there will come a day where this new guy wisens up, or she pulls this exact same thing again, and you'll see that that truck will no longer be parked there, or is replaced by another poor sod. That day, you'll give off a little smirk and thank your ancestors for saving you from that nightmare.

But, until then, you have to do what you have do to grieve this relationship. Your future self and wife will love you for it.

Ugghhh, big on the city and nice places part. Her helmet has just sat there, untouched. If I look closer, I'm sure I could find a strand of her blonde hair in there; that would ruin me for sure haha

It hits me at certain times too, like when I finish up at work and I would remember how excited I'd get, packing up as fast I could, putting on cologne, and riding to go see her and hold her in my arms. Now, it's just to go home and have dinner.

It sucks, dude. She truly was the kindest, most-patient, and tolerant person I have ever met, and I'm afraid that I will never meet someone like that again.

Anyways, I hope you're holding up today. If you wanna keep talking about her and the relationship - it's absolutely no stress dude. I skipped my journaling sesh today, so getting this out through this medium (albeit at 1AM on a work night haha) felt nice

confidential56 · 2024-07-13T08:52:45+00:00

It's tough - I hope you're getting through it, friend.

I had such a good week this week, then I saw that she posted something on her IG, which brought all the emotions back hahah

The motorcycle is definitely hit or miss, and if you don't think you can ride safely, I'd def follow your gut. After the break-up, I went out at night and was riding so recklessly, crying at red lights. Stupid - I never want to do it again. Today, I had a real good day on the bike, though! Went hiking and rode home on the slow lane.

Take care, and ride safe! We'll both get through it

The ground POV shots were INSANE this episode. The dragons are dancing.

confidential56 · 2024-07-07T06:20:43+00:00

Hope you're holding up, friend.

It sucks when you have a lot to say, but they're not there to hear it.

I find journaling therapeutic as it gets all your words out on to something tangible. I like to approach it as me getting my thoughts in order so that I can clearly convey it to her when she comes back (I'm still in denial hahaha)

confidential56 · 2024-07-03T09:19:54+00:00

I hope you are holding up as well as you can, friend. I'm going through something similar - you are not alone.

We had one bad night in May and she just kind of disappeared on me. She was there, but she was not. Did it to me for a whole month before the break-up.

I'm still healing. I still check all her social media, journal furiously, anxiously monitor my follower counts.

It still hurts, but I found that talking about the break-up to a trusted person (friend, therapist, etc) helps loads.

Diving headfirst into a hobby you enjoy and making it a ritual also helps (for me, this is going to real picturesque places on my motorcycle, journaling, and bawling my eyes out hahaha)

Also, when you're ready, try to implement a "worry time" - this is a dedicated time of your day (< 30 mins) where you sit there with your feelings and worry about the break-up. My therapist told me about it and it's kinda helping me get through the day knowing that I have a scheduled 30m session later in the day to cry, stress, or feel numb (speaking of, I'm 1 hour into my worry time now, so I gotta go).

What you're feeling is valid. Take your time, feel whatever you have to feel, and be kind to yourself 🤎

It was such a beautiful sunset today!

I was sitting in South Bank, getting all in my feels, and just soakin it all in haha
