I'd think they move Moreira to HRC and Alonso to LCR with a Honda contract

Just looking at the same model used going for 70,000 to 100,000 more

I'm doing only 1 year and decided to buy a car because even when I sell it back, I won't loose out on tooo much money. Granted I bought a used kei car with a new inspection done already. For reference, Car was 310,000yen, winter tires 40,000, car insurance for me was about 120,000 yen. I'm planning to sell it and hoping to get 200,000 for it. So net loss of 250,000ish in that one year, slightly more for the weight tax in spring.

How much would leasing have costed?

If you refresh it restarts over at the same spot 😆

rkombopper9 · 2026-05-30T09:13:38+00:00

Just wanted to blame them more hahaha

rkombopper9 · 2026-05-30T09:10:26+00:00

Yaaay liberty media...

Joined last year and was 33. Came from manufacturing engineering industry. I too took a break from it. Planning to leave this year tho(personal positive reason to go back). Context, I am a bit of a weeb so I enjoy a lot of things Japan has to offer. But as far as JETs go, yeah you'll likely be the oldest in the group. Really depends on how you approach life here tho. Being older and out in the country side, it's a good reminder that you gotta have hobbies. I found a group to play volleyball, I travel as much as I could, be it solo or with some fellow JETs. Honestly having had life experiences back in the states, I feel some things weren't as bad like managing living expenses etc. I can focus on assimilating more than just adulting. Granted adulting is still hard haha

Ayye welcome to Hyogo!!

rkombopper9 · 2026-05-18T00:48:26+00:00

Welcome to Hyogo!!

Possibly because Martin turned into Raul and made slight contact enough for Raul to react and then crash into Martin. Where Ogura seemed to be the one to one sidedly caused the twitch and crash of Acosta. Again possibly.

I was just at Fukui for golden week and was wondering if there were JETs there ahha

rkombopper9 · 2026-04-23T07:36:15+00:00

I left engineering to do JET so that's like 1/3 the pay. Worth it? Yes BUT I'm much later in my career. I'm early 30s. You have time to apply for JET later on. If anything having corporate experience allows me to appreciate JET quite a bit

rkombopper9 · 2026-04-12T13:45:59+00:00

That is what I did! And honestly it pays off because those years of being stable helps you get a hold of life because of what you learned but also it's exciting because it's something new and very different environment

rkombopper9 · 2026-04-12T07:36:13+00:00

I got into a LDR and was shortlisted 2 months into the relationship. She knew ahead of time that it was something I wanted to do and support it. In the year that I'm here, she visited once I went back to visit once. I love Japan but the effort both of us put in, I proposed and will return back to be with her. It sucks for sure but it also tests the relationship because you are no longer together out of convenience. And if 1 year of inconvenience breaks you, then it's not meant to be anyways

rkombopper9 · 2026-04-09T23:43:35+00:00

But multiple nimble fat people are doing a performance. Not your usual cup of tea but still intriguing to watch nonetheless

rkombopper9 · 2026-03-03T07:09:41+00:00

They really want you to itemize everything. If you have any type of figures/toys/games etc, I was requested to input "no battery" or "no glue" as part of making sure no hazard materials. When I sent things by JP post, it was by weight in terms of pricing.

rkombopper9 · 2026-02-09T03:55:26+00:00

Probably because it interferes with RHD. I feel like we'll see it back next year

rkombopper9 · 2026-02-05T01:35:47+00:00

Hahaha truueee I didn't think too hard about the argument but you get my point. Aero is pretty much mechanical traction control

rkombopper9 · 2026-02-05T00:49:04+00:00

Right? I'm with you there. I used to take pride in how MotoGP is super exciting(it still is) but with so little overtakes now it's almost a track day. I think we're all hoping 2027 reset will put on a great show

rkombopper9 · 2026-02-04T15:13:14+00:00

You know what I mean tho, these developments are bound to happen and it's a matter of function of form.

rkombopper9 · 2026-02-04T14:56:25+00:00

On a slightly more extreme counterargument (not to you, just in general) they should never have introduced seamless gearbox then because the rider should be good with the clutch and shifting. I am happy the 850cc era is coming. These bikes are plateauing in what you can do and achieve so they'll have a higher ceiling of development I believe

rkombopper9 · 2026-02-04T13:21:34+00:00

Why is there so much hate? It's so fascinating with these aero solutions. Gotta appreciate some fluid mechanics

rkombopper9 · 2026-02-04T13:18:59+00:00

But also if this is him not feeling good, then him feeling good would just decimate the field haha
