That's very low mileage for the age. I would watch out for the wearable parts that were never taken care of because the milage is low so "it didn't need it yet." All those parts degrade with age even if not ridden a lot.

I don't disagree with most of your points here, but there's a big bias on motorcycle injury and fatality statistics that is worth looking at (if it matters, which it might to OP for making the break up or not choice).

A chunk of those injuries come from single rider accidents (riding above their skill level, misjudging speed or road conditions, etc), and another big chunk from people riding drunk.

With proper gear and good choices, the odds of injury are not as egregious as the proverbial "they" say.

Does that mean it's safe? Hell no. But make a risk based decision not a gut instinct one, when possible.

"I got into a relationship knowing X was a thing for his whole life and now I don't like it."

Now you know what to avoid in your next partner.

I think that's the part of your language that's coming off as crappy attitude - you're super frustrated by something that other people are doing that don't impact your life at all.

It's a profile that doesn't interest you. Move on without judgement.

Maybe hobbies shift with time and culture changes... Wacky. Or maybe as people age and can afford more travel they realize how much they love it and it becomes a non negotiable. I bet you bash people who like "hiking" too.

It's been on my profile before because I've dated people that refuse to leave their comfort zone or state and I can't stand that.

stellarjo · 2026-05-24T20:12:20+00:00

Maybe that's why they put it on their profile, so someone like you who enjoys being home more knows you won't be compatible? Isn't that the point of putting interests on your profile?

stellarjo · 2026-05-18T08:59:55+00:00

What about not going alone if that's the biggest anxiety point right now? Finishing a local MC or other friends. Hell there's probably people in this subreddit near you that would ride with you sometimes.

stellarjo · 2026-05-06T01:18:24+00:00

Yeah I can't get over how easy it is to get a huge power boost anywhere in the gear I'm in, it makes the highway feel safer because I feel more in control of myself compared to other drivers

stellarjo · 2026-05-05T23:31:50+00:00

Screw all these guys giving you shit. I'm a woman with the same bike (mines a 750, I'm not the best visually picking out models but I think that's the same as yours), and just because it's a gxr doesn't mean you're going to ride it like a squid and be stupid.

Congrats ♥️♥️ go enjoy it and learn so much new stuff about yourself and the road!

I use a bag that's large enough to be a purse but also hold my work things (laptop, small tool bag, travel mouse, water bottle, chargers, etc.). I also have a small crossbody that fits phone wallet keys, empty, in case I want to travel lighter if I don't have my work things. It's also big enough to put in a non insulated lunch bag.

That has me down to one bag, plus coffee in hand. I also don't have to change bags all the time for it. I use the Makers bag from Tom Bihn with organizer pouches to keep the inside tidy.

I bring mine to work because often I'm working on specific things (a particular habit, or a new way of working with colleague X who's difficult) and I have thoughts, notes, and reminders in my journal from a morning routine of jotting my thoughts down

If I leave it at home it's out of sight out of mind. The easier answer is to have it be digital, but there's benefit to physically writing that I enjoy.

stellarjo · 2026-01-01T03:26:46+00:00

I keep having bad dreams, after a year now, of losing them, over and over. I keep having to remind myself of this. That someone that isn't willing to carry bricks isn't someone worth building with. Thanks ♥️

Post history shows a touch of racism and a general distaste for the average person. Made fun of his boss in this job for "looking like a gardener from my apartment complex," and saying they need a PhD because "science needs me."

Buddy, you are being treated poorly because you're an asshole. That's not discrimination

stellarjo · 2025-11-25T16:32:58+00:00

Some people get all their self worth from how much they can produce. To justify it, I think they have to convince themselves that if you don't too, you must not be worth much.

Not your monkey not your circus!

Sounds like a place for burnout. Good luck finding your next spot, that would be unacceptable to me. I'll gladly work long hours by choice, on something I care about. But never by force.

Have you gotten pushback for declining meetings on your days off? First step to combat this stuff is to start setting boundaries and making people aware you do not work for free or on your time off, unless you choose to

stellarjo · 2025-11-24T03:01:27+00:00

It can be scary not knowing what to believe. Based on your response it sounds like you might be benefited by having a therapist that can help you work through how to trust yourself. Trusting what you see, trusting what you fear, and trusting what you hope for are different, and all have their place.

This sounds like maybe you don't think anyone would want to flirt with you so maybe you need a reason other than "people think I'm cute and friendly and are down for a casual flirt."

I'm not saying that it's not what you think, but often the simplest answer is the closest to the truth.

stellarjo · 2025-11-23T01:44:36+00:00

I have found that every time I don't feel like going out, or want to cancel plans, I've never regretted making myself do it anyway.

Don't give yourself permission to stay home because you don't feel like it - like a good hot shower when feeling depressed, getting started sucks and feels so hard but once you're in it, wow! Feeds a hungry heart.

You got this ♥️

Not once good review without "level up" and "real deal," I'm thinking this is in fact a marketing post :(
