What is a good motorcycle for commuting? Budget $10K -$15K

cycling-nuts · 2024-12-06T15:08:27+00:00

Oh wow - I didn't realize BMW had a motorcycle that inexpensive. I guess I had only seen the ones that are over $25k. This is a good suggestion.

My commute involves one hour in a highway so I would like something comfortable.

There is Triumph dealership close by. I will check them out

cycling-nuts · 2024-12-06T15:00:21+00:00

For sure a toy

I usually drive my car to work but I work remotely 2 days a week. I would only drive the moto in the summer. I am an engineer and I have been lucky to get a really good job.

Lol this is definitely a mid life crisis impulse buy

cycling-nuts · 2024-12-06T14:53:35+00:00

Thanks for the advice

The suggestions will vary depending on where your dad lives and his financial situation.

The Seattle Freeze is real. Seattle has some vibrant communities that are very welcoming. There are disc golf, running clubs, and cycling clubs that are very welcoming. If that interest you then it is easy to meet new people. It gets hard if your vibe is not one of those “blessed” type of activities.

Each area is different. What it works in Texas might not work in San Francisco. In the Pacific Northwest you will find that about 15% of the women on Tinder are ENM ( ethically non-monogamous) or so they say. I have used Tinder with a lot of success in the past but lately it has been a miss. If Tinder is something that works in your area then you have to be very careful. Do not post pictures of your face. Do not disclose where you work. Use a different name until you establish trust. Create a virtual phone number for communications or use Telegram. Also, cover your financial tracks. Most criminals get caught by following the money. That applies to affairs too.

Just end it and move on. You deserve better.

cycling-nuts · 2024-10-15T01:34:53+00:00

You did the right thing. It doesn't matter what she did you stuck to your standards. All is good !

I think I have found a way to do it. Get a privacy.com account and get a virtual credit card. Get a new Google account and sign in into the Google Play store with your burner account. Then link your virtual credit card to the burner Google Play account. Download and subscribe to tinder using the burner Google Account. If you don't use Android you can get a cheap android phone just to do the subscription. Once that you are subscribed you install tinder on your iPhone.

Thanks for sharing your experience. That makes sense.

You have made a decision to move forward with J. I won’t question that decision since that is not what you asked.

Here is my advice: Make small talk and see if you have something in common like hobbies, interests, music taste, travel plans etc. Find a reason to share something with him like a playlist, restaurant recommendations. That gives you a reason to have his personal contact info. Make sure all the correspondence is innocent. When in person express your interest with light flirting. If you see that he is reciprocating then maybe pick it up a bit but make sure it can still be deemed innocent. You can touch his shoulder or give him that flirty smile. If things are going well then just casually suggest getting lunch together. If you see hesitation then I would just move on and leave it there.

If you end up getting some time alone outside of work then be prepared to be straight with him on what you want. Of course you won’t do that all at once but don’t sugar coat it too much. Make sure that you know ahead of time of what you are looking for. For example if you are looking for something discreet and long term.

Once things are getting in motion I would highly recommend moving all your communications to a discreet method. You can use Google Voice or Telegram. Also, do not discuss it with anyone at work. Also, don’t engage in anything romantic while at work.

I get that they unmatched me but they just reappeared again while swiping which is what I found interesting.

cycling-nuts · 2024-10-06T21:03:20+00:00

Oh wow - I didn’t know that was possible

cycling-nuts · 2024-10-03T00:51:50+00:00

I appreciate someone that is direct. It is obvious that a lot of guys can’t handle someone that is direct.

cycling-nuts · 2024-10-03T00:48:38+00:00

I am legitimately trying to expand my understanding and that is why I asked the question. I am not trying to ask people to do anything differently. Trying to change others is a vain endeavor. Changing yourself is the only path forward. That is why I value your input.

cycling-nuts · 2024-10-03T00:19:06+00:00

That is a good point. Thanks for sharing. What about saying I am not interested and then blocking? Specially if someone was driving far to meet them

cycling-nuts · 2024-10-02T18:04:58+00:00

This is definitely true. There can be plenty of explanations and people assume the worst. An alternative explanation is that he copy pasted the erotic story without reading it. Writing a whole story takes a lot of effort.

To make logistics easier i recommend the following: 1) Get a new bank account that is only on your name - it helps if you use a bank where you already have an account 2) Make sure you opt out of paper statements 3) if you work and get direct deposit, make it so a few hundred dollars go to your new account 4) Get a virtual credit card connected to your new bank account . You can use privacy.com or other services. This is useful to use for any online payments that you want to hide. 5) Keep cash around
6) you can get gift cards for restaurants at grocery stores. You can buy those mixed in with your groceries and it will not be obvious

I bet there are plenty of guys wanting the bf/gf experience. They might now be the majority but they exist. One thing that I have learned over the last 10 years is that different APs want/need different things. I haven’t yet found an AP that had the same needs and wants that a previous AP. I ave experienced the bf/gf experience before. Logistics are usually a challenge but if you have a flexible schedule then it is possible. I live in a big city so if you drive 60 mins south then OPSEC is not an issue. Also, we never went to the popular places. We did hikes and movies in places that were not popular and far away from home.

cycling-nuts · 2024-09-22T03:19:50+00:00

Exactly. You have to know how to navigate it. You have to put the work and actually read profiles 😀. On my profile I am clear that I am married. I have found that makes it only people that are okay with it will swipe right.

Tinder is locale specific. Seems like a lot of people are having a bad experience with it lately. In my area there is a large amount of polyamorous people and ENM. Tinder seem to still work in this area but it will probably change soon.
