I'm not sure what brands you have in America. But, ome brand that I've heard recommended is Alpinestar. Expensive, but again, can't say from experience. But they're quite good from what I've heard.

I wear near enough full RST, I got a trousers/jacket textile suit for about, I think, 320 usd. It has padded elbows, shoulders, and a back plate. And padding at the knee caps. I also have RST boots that extend higher up the legs. And some summer gloves with padded knuckles and leather around the palm and mesh on top. But, my other gloves were chasing really bad sweating.

I don't think the US and the UK use the same safety rating guide. But, as long as you're getting from a reputable brand, and getting protection for the most important parts, you should be okay. So the most important being hands, back, elbows, shoulders, knees, and feet/ankles. Don't use steel capped boots though. As one read those can cause more damage to the toes.

For a very rough price, I think you should aim for about 500 usd for the rest of the gear. Might seem excessive, but like I said, can be the difference between life and death.

Actually, some where i got confused was between textile and leather. But, whilst leather is a lot better as it won't tear as easily. Good textile would be more than enough unless you're going to really be breaking speed limits and going for track days.

here's 2 videos from a youtuber, he knows more than I do.

and the second

Don't worry too much about jumping straight for summer clothing and and cold clothing. Cold clothing will more than likely have thermals you can remove. And, with the exception of being stuck in traffic/at traffic lights, once you're actually moving you should get a nice breeze. And something I love about my rst jacket. Its got titty zips. If its a warm day, open them up, and it allows a lovely breeze to engulf your top half.

Do you have no boundaries?

It's 6 dollars for no reason. Do you just roll over for every coporation that wants to fuck you over?

So, 6 dollars a month just to unlock the original icon?

There's no way you can be serious about that one. What else does reddit premium offer? No ads and an icon? How can anyone justify the price for that. At least with youtube premium you get a music service as well as no ads.

I'm not sure on your mental health condition. But if there's one thing I've learnt from getting my big bike licence. Its done wonders for me.

And a little tip for you. Get really good gear. Even if you don't think you'll come off or if youre only going lut for half an hour. Anything can happen. And good gear, so jacket, trousers, gloves, helmet and boots can be the major difference between a few broken bones and agonising death/amputated limbs.

Oh and filtering ear plugs. I got some the other week and they've been a live saver. I can still hear my music perfectly fine. But they protect your hearing from the constant sound of the engine and all the wind.

Be safe out there, brother.

Even better idea. Wait until about 6pm, open maybe 7 beers and drink them over a four hour time frame. At 10pm, start mixing some cocktails (you can do this beforehand and just store them in the fridge), make sure you have plenty, as over the next 2 hours, you'll need them.

Finally, at 12am, get yourself a nice spirit you enjoy, so maybe a good whisky, a good tequila, a good rum. Anything you like, and start mixing, 50ml alcohol, to about 250ml mixer is what I personally enjoy.

Once you hit 12, just get your things done. Whether it's moving data over. Or just anything that needs to be done. Unless it involves leaving your house. As that may get messy.

This is what I always do when I know I need to get something done. And it hasn't let me down yet.

Oh, and don't forget your favourite music.

Okay, yeah, I'm out of the loop with all the SEO stuff. Thinking about it, yeah jve had to do that a bit.

I didn't realise. My bad.

I'm gonna say it.

Even though we're fucking tiny. We were some proper nasty bastards.

What'd be the feasibility of making a search engine, that actually works, to search for only reddit? Without all the bullshit.

[–] Resistentialism 2 points 2 years ago

I do. But only when I absolutely need to. I kind of miss the uk motorbike dub. But, eh, that's just life.

If I do need to use it. I go firefox with ghostery, and Ublock origin. But that's only because, if I search for a problem, reddit usually has it. If it asks me to use the mobile app, then, I can always just tell Firefox to use the desktop site, and I haven't had an issue with that yet.

I don't know. Samsung seems like a very good company.

And I'm not saying that as they have an army and access to my location.
