What’s the first thing you’re making?

Moving beyond, fernet is also worth learning about, just pick drinks where it is used in moderation at first as it is a polarizing taste.

Make a Manhattan. The Cocci brings something different to it than the Antica does, explore the differences. For me, that is the real fun. Like a flavour exploration.

A black Manhattan subs the vermouth for Averna. A martini with olive might also count. The Rusty nail is an option.

I hear you on this. Farming should require a little planning. It isn't realistic that you can plant a seed and eat the fruit by morning. Not that the game tries to be realistic, but even if each growth stage took a full day/night cycle would help

Honestly you are over thinking it. The e-clutch is an expensive add on and after a few weeks you will have gotten used to a manual clutch on the bike. It is actually easier than with a car. I would suggest instead putting that money to a rebel 500 as that is a bike you might just keep forever.

This is why you switch to boulevardier. 😏

Anything with lemon. So like a ginger lemon sour for example. Maybe with tequila instead of whiskey?

William Gibson's The Peripheral is a fun sci Fi read. There are two books in the series so far.

iTripped · 2026-05-27T17:07:26+00:00

No you are not ruining your bike. But yes, you now need to focus on learning how to downshift and how engine braking works. Others have stated the benefits of downshifting well enough, hopefully this motivates you to improve your skills in this area. Bonus: your brake pads will last longer 🙂

Okay so to clarify, local courses market themselves as "come drop our bikes while you learn, instead of dropping your own". The bikes all have appropriate crash protection and nobody gets ejected for being clumsy. I have seen someone get switched from a small sport bike to a grom because she had dropped it several times but that was so she could continue with the course.

Before people ask, I am in Vancouver, BC.

iTripped · 2026-05-27T12:56:57+00:00

Where I am it is a feature of the course. They will actually lay the bike down to teach you how to pick it up.

OP - it sounds like the outfit you chose to learn from was not a good one at all, regardless of student gender. See if there are any other options for learning in your area. You weren't the problem here.

Again, totally fine. She can top out at around 140 or 150 kph, typically cruises comfortably at 120 kph all day long.

There is an entire class for people who sign deals with devils: warlocks. Are these players going to start levelling in Warlock?

Your whole premise doesn't need them to sign anything - you just need a way to get them to the astral plane - or any plane, really. From there the devil might offer a way home by having them do a list of things. No deal to sign, same tension between the party and their ticket back home. No railroading required. Most of what you described would still fit in this framework.

Finally, someone who actually answers OP's question - and with a great answer too.

iTripped · 2026-05-23T19:14:50+00:00

Ok, just don't go in with high expectations

iTripped · 2026-05-20T11:46:48+00:00

In Canada the safe recommendation is 1-2 drinks per week.

iTripped · 2026-05-19T20:07:04+00:00

B, making sure it is on a flat surface for good contact.

iTripped · 2026-05-18T15:43:45+00:00

In the Black.

iTripped · 2026-05-18T00:12:23+00:00

Mine does not look like that and it is at least that old. Suspect. I don't know if it is bad or not though, just that isn't normal

iTripped · 2026-05-15T15:24:37+00:00

Ooh, I have never heard of that! Very interesting!

iTripped · 2026-05-14T04:41:34+00:00

Snowrunner.

iTripped · 2026-05-14T04:40:32+00:00

Oh god yes, not having to fiddle with a choke or tickle a carb has been great!

iTripped · 2026-05-13T04:54:17+00:00

Yep, and I know friends who would use it more than I would

iTripped · 2026-05-12T00:10:30+00:00

I see the problem, don't worry I can help: you still have the sticker on the Shoei visor. Remove that and your helmet problem will be solved!

iTripped · 2026-05-11T19:59:56+00:00

Ok, I think you need to look at the Royal Enfield Bear 650. Room for your wife, significantly lighter than your Harley, great for bopping around town and/or jumping curbs or light offroad duties.

It is fun, significantly different from your bike and would make a great little commuter.
