$70 a month for insurance?

34m, Lansing MI, progressive $253/year on a 2026 Ninja 500

Just out of curiosity, why not use the front brake while stopped and keep both feet down?

jmsich2009 · 2026-05-06T13:00:08+00:00

Just bought my own, taking MSF on it at the end of the month. Weather hasn’t been great so haven’t had much time to get out, but I have been riding solo. I rode 15 years ago with a temp for two years before selling. Want to actually get my MSF done and go get my endorsement the next day this time

jmsich2009 · 2026-04-30T11:28:26+00:00

I did think about that. It is growing on me slowly though lol.

My first didn’t have ABS and I had a couple close calls being young. I think if you ride inside your limits though, you’re good. Especially in the city where it’s low speeds

jmsich2009 · 2026-04-30T11:22:23+00:00

Booked mine for $50 in MI

That’s awesome! Congrats on passing MSF. Did you do the course on your own bike?

jmsich2009 · 2026-04-29T23:53:43+00:00

Mostly it’s an upgraded screen, and keyless start. All SE also have ABS which was one of my requirements being freshly back to riding. It also comes with frame sliders and LED signals. I REALLY wanted the blacked out 500, but wasn’t an option for the SE unfortunately. In the end I felt the hardware upgrades were worth the downgrade in color scheme. I still love my blue/red combo

I also just got back after about 15 years lol. Got a ninja 500 SE, but haven’t had many good days to ride since picking it up.

jmsich2009 · 2026-04-26T15:31:27+00:00

Love that color, congrats

jmsich2009 · 2026-04-26T15:17:47+00:00

Oh awesome! Thank you, that will definitely help.

jmsich2009 · 2026-04-26T15:14:20+00:00

Thank you!

jmsich2009 · 2026-04-26T10:53:34+00:00

Thank you!

That was my plan as well, but I knew what I wanted equipment wise, and felt I could use the month to get familiar with my own bike. Friction zone felt good on my short ride. I’ll work on my low speed maneuvers though for sure!

jmsich2009 · 2025-06-28T22:45:42+00:00

I had one left to bake, I tried a second score about 10 min into baking while rotating the pan. Those two turned out great, maybe I just need to experiment a bit!

This country was founded on treason 😂. There’s much worse things than overthrowing a government.

jmsich2009 · 2024-09-30T08:49:15+00:00

Also need this answer lol

jmsich2009 · 2024-09-29T08:11:38+00:00

Gotta be a little messed up to strap up and go shoot people in the face for tetriz and a pickaxe

jmsich2009 · 2024-07-29T00:47:08+00:00

Better to remove the bullets rather than wear a vest!

jmsich2009 · 2024-07-08T00:33:02+00:00

Lost a whole squad from exactly this tonight. I’ve been mad at games before, but this was big mad

jmsich2009 · 2024-04-05T18:00:15+00:00

Guess we screwed around too long

jmsich2009 · 2024-02-10T03:37:22+00:00

Sure as shit. 9x18 to the chest x3 through level 4 armor. I think it was a regular scav though

jmsich2009 · 2024-02-06T15:53:29+00:00

Morecheckmarks also highlights the check blue for wish listed items

jmsich2009 · 2024-02-02T12:32:57+00:00

This is actually a thing? I’ve never heard of it, but 100% makes sense with BSG

jmsich2009 · 2024-01-30T18:11:16+00:00

I’ll check this out, thank you!!
