What is something you wanted as a kid and bought now that you're an adult with disposable income? (leminal.space)

I really wanted a modded Xbox 360 when I was younger because I thought being able to play 'backed up' games and having a custom dashboard was really neat.

I ended up buying one last year to fulfill that childhood wish.

When I was 12-15 I really wanted a moped, but my parents wouldn't let me get one.

Now, I bought myself a full fledged motorcycle. It's currently the best anti-depressant in my life. I love riding around on it, exploring unknown country roads and riding spiritedly through the twisties.

My next goals are to upgrade to a faster motorcycle and do some track days.

Strange things, motorcycles. They can cure depression, but they're also suicidal.

I'm doing my best to prevent the suicidal part. I follow the ATGATT principle and stick to the speed limits on streets with lots of unknown variables (cars, pedestrians, etc.)

Ha so stinking to limits is actually a thing for special roads. No wonder there's bad rep. Next thing you'll tell me it's one of those that are extra noisy just for the sake of waking Grandmas wherever you go past 10pm

Huh? I don't have a loud motorcycle. The exhaust is stock. I ride safely (I'm not riding in the nighttime) and respectfully. And what even is stinking to limits?
