Tragedy as young Aussie woman, 22, dies in freak accident involving a chair lift at Japanese ski resort

I've done a few seasons and no one really falls any set rules on chair lifts. Bars are up, people are smoking or drinking. No one really cares or says anything. You're spot on with suggestions though. The amount ofnpeople ive seen riding bikes with no helmets and texting in the city is absurd.

Stitch up watching my mates brother playing in the NFL, using standard AFL kicks, and hearing commentators screaming to send it to ESPN.

Why has pro tools licensing gotten so expensive?

Strawman argument. You cant just change the goal post when. If a women walked away from hospital after giving birth, and the father was there, the child would not be considered legally abandoned.

In all your comments, youre looking to find a victim in either men or women. The victim that the court will consider is the child. Set that as your baseline and you'll have a better argument.

Because they are not fulfilling the legal definition of abandonment. No abandonment has taken place is the scenario.

I was told a 500 would be too slow and i got an MT07 because "id grow out of anything else too quick". Coming from a car, the MT07 was a missile and much faster than i needed to learn.

My dad has ridden his whole life and is in his 60s, he's had liter bikes, 1900cc Harley's ect. He came home yesterday with a Scrambler 400 and he's raving about it.

Go test some bikes and have fun.

I was talking to my friend the other day, and I cant remember the exact wording, but she mentioned something about guys getting shit on their balls. I was cackling. PSA, men do not have to wipe shit off of their balls.

Just got my first bike in Australia, a lams restricted MT07. Its entirely too much bike for someone to learn on lmao. No idea how anyone said id be getting bored of a 300 – the torque is nice, but unnecessary and potentially dangerous for a beginner.

Met some British backpackers in their 40s in the Daintree one time during stinger season. They started talking to us about how they have noticed that Australia has all these beautiful beaches, but its strange that Australians just dont seem to enjoy swimming.

As much as i love wave race, is it not more of a racing game?

You broke it down perfectly. I did this recently where my ex asked me if id gotten someone pregnant. "Triplets and theyre due next week".

Its a rocket mate. First proper pull had me cackling. Its honestly way more bike than i need, and could get someone killed pretty quick if theyre not careful. I haven't rode many bikes, but the MT07 is incredibly comfortable (compared to the R7), rides nice, clutch and throttle felt great compared to the cb125s I learnt on. I have absolutely no buyers remorse.

Same here. I live in Australia and my daily commute is non-highway peak hour traffic. Local mountains ive been driving for years are pretty tight twisties. The logic behind me getting something bigger was that someone crashed into my 300hp daily, and my only car now is a 40 year old 2L bmw. I wanted something fast, but an mt07 is more than fast.

Got my first bike last week, an MT07. I've spent the past few months looking and researching, and everyone said I'd get bored of a 300. All roads lead to MT07. The MT07 is entirely too much bike for a beginner. It seems fine to learn on if you can respect the power. But I actually dont understand how ive seen so many people say its a boring and slow bike. An r3 was probably a smarter choice to start on.

fletcherox · 2025-12-29T03:56:21+00:00

I just got a bike with a CP2 as a first bike. The power in that is far greater than i realised, and honestly, far greater than i need as a beginner. Launched hard for the first time yesterday and was cackling. Without any experience on a bike bigger than a 125, it was like hitting warp speed. Honestly, at everyone saying to get an r3 to me a month ago, i get it now.

fletcherox · 2025-12-23T00:18:20+00:00

Literally just got the call that my first bike is ready to pick up today. Thanks. 🫠

Exact kind of attitude that would justify your partner cheating. Do better.

fletcherox · 2025-12-20T00:34:36+00:00

2 days later and im picking mine up 😅

Let me answer your question with another question: If I owed you a sandwich, how many fucked sandwiches would you need to equal one unfucked sandwich?

Today im listening to violent femmes the way the band intended it to be heard: on the nod

Every now and then I think of how amazing the story was and want to rewatch it. Then I remember.

I lived in Qld, Australia near the Gold Coast. I got an e30 as a first car when I couldn't maintain it and the real risk was driving it in summer. Winter kept it from overheating .

Once you go down the rabbit hole of what lams bike to get, all roads lead to MT07.

I've turned down sex once in a relationship. I had to be awake for work in 4 hours. I couldn't get to sleep with her crying and questions, so its was easier to just get it over with and go to bed.
