>>28874244If you think this is heaven I'd really hate to see what you call hell.
Honda waifs, wherever you are hiding, please comeout.
>>28874273This was a few years ago but I didn't bother finding the last shirt. The phone was the most important thing so I cut my loses and got the fuck out of there. I was lucky enough there was even a break in highway traffic to run out and grab it.

How is this helmet type called? With the visor shaped like this
Ordered new carbs for my bike just because.
>>28874241BahahahahaThats insaneYeah also always keep electroniks and valuables in a fannyshoompack and hopefully it has double straps and pockets inside that also zip incase the outside zibber failsI almost had this happen with a tank bag taking everything off with it inside, and i knabbed it right awayThats spoopy though, u lucky nibba
>>28874310I did exactly that the next time I went riding. I eventually switched to a quadlock case and mount though. It's a really solid mounting system. Haven't had any problems since. Nice quick reflexes for your tank bag
>>28873926Mostly streets <60kph.I do go on the highway for hours at a time to get to camp sites. If you live in the burger reich I would not recommend the 350 and you should get the 650.
>>28874304the general type is either an adventure helmet or a jet helmet.
random question. I remember watching some videos of a guy in germany or some other western/central european country fixing like an old honda 80s superbike in his garage and can't for the life of me remember what it was.
>>28874304That's a glorified dirt bike helmet.
>>28874300gn bro
>>28874344Where I live generally I cruiser at 130 kph on the highways, and yeah if I was to get a RE it would definitely be one of theirs 650s

Hello, fellow adventure enthusiasts
>>28874468>cams melt>frame snapsOops!
My current (and first) bike, been riding her for almost two years, I'm about to switch to a bigger one (SWM GT 650).I'm looking forward to it, but my heart aches thinking about saying goodbye to her.The first bike is like the first love, isn't it?
>>28874580own two bikes?
I'm thinking about getting street tires for the KLR and lowering it even more. It's already an S. I should have just got a street bike. Don't listen to shills that tell you the klr is good at everything, it sucks at everything.
>>28874582No, I'll sell this one
>>28874474Hey what do you have for a side case? I'm looking for something like that I can open from the side.
>>28874222stop taking links out of the OP you FUCKING FAGGOT
>>28874488That's because it's made for people who can afford parts. If you're poor, get a cb1000
>>28874580Yes. But unlike women, there's little drama for having more than one or trying a few to see what you'd rather ride.Although I will say, my first bike was a CBR 600 F4i. Terrible first bike. But I didn't kill myself on it, and the more I rode it, the more I liked it. Had to sell the first one when it got a rod knock. I bought one just like it a few years down the road, but by that point I had gotten into a stable long-term relationship, and to be honest, crotch rockets just don't hit the same when you actually have something to lose.I have since discovered the joy of fully analog sport standards, which are definitely fast enough on the street to be exciting, but all else being equal you're going notably slower so you might just live if you've been one being the hooligan you are.
>>28874651this is why my girlfriend doesn't want me to learn. As a britbong you have* to start on a 125 or pay a shit load to jump to a full license. But there is inherent risk and most drivers in the UK are absolutely fucking legitimately retarded.
>>28874653>inherent riskYeah. There's an inherent risk to driving, walking, living amongst shitskins, ect. Everybody draws the line on risk differently. Thankfully my girl grew up riding horses so she understands the concept of doing everything right but still possibly just fucking dying for something completely outside your control.>drivers retardedI haven't heard of a single place on the planet where people don't say this. Have you? Just keep your guard up. People will merge into you sometimes, it's not a big deal, just hit the brakes or zoom around.
>>28874653True, UK drivers are positively brain dead idiots who never fucking indicate.I'm off to South Wales on Sunday for a short trip. Hope I live
>>28874580>>28874651Imagine if women were like bikes and you would be switching to gradually harder to obtain, more dangerous and bigger boobed ones
>>28874598I dont have side cases
>>28874222Nobody told me how great shitty roads are. Like I feel like a badass when I stand up while going like 35-50 even though I'm just trying to keep my nuts from getting crushed.
>>28874222Kawasaki KLE500. Thoughts?
>>28874595>it sucks at everythingThat means its workingWith a shitbike, you can go anyshoom
>>28874595Lel everyone agrees that the KLR sucks. Just sell it and buy a Transalp.
>>28874595Okay. So does the versys 650 but people keep both because they suck at everything but also refuse to die.>>28874653Consider, it is still safer than riding in the US. Also 125cc now are not too bad.

>>28874374A jet helmet is 3/4, and usually with a face shield Ive seen some people call any 3/4 helmet a jet, but imo it must have eye protection >>28874429Bear 650 looks pretty nice in person imo I would consider it to bop around downtown with my wife on weekends if I had room for two bikes

>>28874756I'm interested, but waiting for more people to ride and review it. The poor ground clearance is a major concern. As an offroader, the bike seems to be objectively mogged by the Ibex 450 and Himalayan 450. The difference of course is it's Japanese, and not chinkslop or jeetshit. I also think it *looks* great.
>>28874706Women are opposite of bikes because you start with the fastest one you can find then work your way down to something more reasonable.

>>28875020This is pretty much where I stand.

Do I want NX500?
>>28875349Yes, great bike, get it. What other bikes were you considering? This is your first bike right?
Are these rightfully called sports tourers or should they be called drag bikes?
>>28875373What bike do you have?
>>28875373I see your point but desu I think sport tourer is fine.
>>28875381None, I'm a tourist here. But aside from the Hayabusa speed record from 1999, I think drag racing is what these bikes are mostly known for.

Brain tumor cost me my license, looking to get a District / CE02 / Anthem / I Am. for trips to doc appointments that are in-area (leaning toward the I AM. solely for its aesthetics, but I like the district as well. BMW seems decent because I’ve owned a lot of their vehicles / analogues over the years. All else is a complete unknown to me. (Based on what I’ve read none require a license to use on-road. Classified as “mobility enhancers” or some shit). Can’t find any that are reasonably priced within a 100 mile radius on a dying guys lack of income. Suggestions? Sale offers? P.s. see a doctor at least one a year bros, could pay you back in spades if there’s ever “something clearly wrong”. If due diligence on your part isn’t done beforehand it’ll take doctors five fuckin’ years to figure out what’s wrong, and even then they’ll shrug when it comes to fixing it.

>>28875645Peptides and a trip to Mexico bro. My uncle had similar issues, bro is 62 and winning BJJ competitions again. Admittedly he never stopped competing, lifting or training. But he’s swearing by his Joe Roagine treatments in terms of livability and capability. Take it with a grain of salt though, as the same man suggested I take IVM+Methylene Blue+ another thing I’m forgetting to cure my tumors and heart issues (Bro watch him be correct, I swear to god if I do this and my tumors shrink I’m gonna feel like such an asshole for talking shit. Because the worst thing that could happen is nothing. I might as well try it. It’s not like the doctors do anything but shrug shoulders and tell me in detail why whatever I have going on is an issue for any specialist who isn’t them. Brain tumor?” Bro see a neurologist who isn’t me. See your seizure neurologist. You fool. Go see a sleep doctor. It can’t be fucking with your eyes. I only want to see you again if it’s about your carpal tunnel surgery”. ((All while five different specialists write detailed reports about how the tumor the size of a golf ball in the middle of my brain is indeed fucking my vision up totally and causing heart-issues). I feel you on wanting all that back and the frustrations that come with it. I hope what I’ve offered is feasible for you, and genuinely helps. I wouldn’t wish a fucked back on anyone - runs in the family. My mothers broken her spine by sneezing before thanks to similar treatment from her own specialists and a bit of her own stubbornness being a healthcare professional, herself. We’re all gonna make it dawg, there’s no other choice. A subpar life isn’t life at all, it’s living in hell in a hell you allow. Don’t choose to live that way, find every silver lining to the point it boarders on delusion. Keep fucking fighting brother. Because remember, there’s alwaysWORSE YET TO COME.

>>28875687Your reading comprehension is atrocious. “Suggested”=/= “am” - especially when followed by a paragraph about uncertainty regarding following the suggestion.

I cleaned the carb on my DRZ and took it for a ride for the first time in forever. I forgot how much fun that thing is. It's like a little scooter.

>>28876039what bikes have you ridden fren?I got a 125 and I'm looking for the ultimate daily city and food delivery motorbike but most options I think about seem like they would made my life hardermaybe the answer would be moving down to a 50cc 2smoke but that would be illegal to ride on the highway
>>28876056I'm the guy shilling supermotos a few posts up. I've ridden a DRZ, an XR, and my friend's FZ07. If I wanted the ultimate city commuter that can do short jaunts on the freeway, I would probably choose a used DRZsm or a WR250 like a couple anons were talking about last thread. This guy has a whole series on his XR150L, and those are available everywhere I think.https://youtu.be/uoVRtJyCoPkOn second thought, all of these would probably suck to be sitting on all day for delivery. The DRZ seat is a dang 2x4. Maybe a 390 or 690 duke or an MT07/sv650 would be the way to go. a light weight or middle weight nakedA two stroke 50cc would be super cool. I've never ridden one besides a moped, so I don't know how difficult it would be to live with.
>>28876076I've thought about a supermoto or dual sport, the riding position would be better for my back for sure but the big issue is the seat height and the wideness/ height of the barsfrom my research an xt 225 would be shorter but they are kind of expensive>xr 150Lthat does look good too but not available here unfortunately and the xr 125 would be even slower than my current one, hmm>Maybe a 390 or 690 duke or an MT07/sv650 would be the way to go.these are all too heavy and big, except the 390 but I think it has a tall seat too>50cc 2smokewould be lighter, maybe narrower, maybe on par regarding performance with a 70+ cc cylinder but on the other hand yellow plate so not legal for highway riding (sometimes it's handy), maybe lower mpg, maybe higher turning radius depending on the model
>>28876105Hmm, that's a tough one then. I'm sure someone will be along with some good recs.
>>28875664>>28875645>I WANT MY LOWER BACK, KNEE, AND FLEXOR TENDON BACKi used to do ipamorelin and CJC1295 (growth hormone peptides) back in college, but i recently had a friend break his back skateboarding like two years ago. shit was absolutely fucked but he went on some sort of peptide thing plus physical therapy and he says he's probably 90% back to normal.not saying it's a cure-all or anything but there is something there and it's not that expensive. do your research.
>>28876056>food delivery motorbike00s Japanese boomer croozer with expanded rear rack and box, these bikes are still plentiful and cheap, they're reliable and lots of torque but low top speed, I pull 8-10h work days on mine.
>>28876076>>28876105Xt 225 is anemic. i've got a WR250R and i've been riding my friend's DRZ 400SM since he's storing it at my house while he moves. the WR has dirt tires and the DRZ has street tires, so it's not exactly apples to apples. i'm like right on the money 5'10". the WR is pretty tall but it's not a thing i think about ever. it's not a problem in my mind, i guess. maybe if i had a mobility problem, swinging a leg over the bike would be an issue. i like how the WR revs pretty high. the powerband is more interesting between the two bikes. the drz is very smooth through the throttle. you don't have to wring it out so much. it just goes. which does make it more fun to goof around on. it's easy to wheelie. the DRZ is noticeably lower. i can double flat foot it. i don't particularly like going on the interstate with either. there isn't much headroom at highway speeds. as in, it takes longer than you want to pass someone when you're already going 70. but if i have to jump on and hit the next exit, not really a big deal.but around town and backroads and innawoods(!) they rock.having had the chance to ride on the street tires, i'm very seriously considering buying a second set of wheels for the WR. but if you aren't trying to do much offroad shit, and you want an upright seating position, man look for a DRZ SM. you can get one with a yoshi and probably a handful of other mods for $4000 all day. $3500 if you watch the market for a little while.
>>28876015Pick a bike where the downgrade is a feature not a problem, like Harley, Moto Guzzi, Royal Enfield, or the W800 or other retro bike

>>28876166CB500 is the best first bike. Get it, your bother is a faggot.
>>28875824Based XR owner.What did you hand over for it?
>Gas prices go up>Buy bike>No money for gear>Ride anyway

>>28876229>Wife beater core.Peak test.
give me some pants recommendations. i don't think i want to go with denim. i'm in the south and it gets mad hot. so i'm guessing either like cargo pants or like an ADV sort of thing. i feel like the pants market kind of sucks. there's a lot of choice with jackets.what do you wear? where do you live? what do you think about it?
>>28876235Search for full mesh pants.
>>28875860So you lied when you said they detected you at 67, they actually detected you at 80.And the fact that you're losing your license over this means that you've done it a bunch of times before. It's only 3 demerit points.Given the location (Laverton North) and the fact that it was a scooter, I'm guessing you're that weed smoking retard with the PCX and the NMAX. And based on your interior decoration, occupation, and lack of access to social services, you're probably Indian.Do a flip, faggot.
>>28876235Lovely tropical Queensland.Riding jeans aren't as bad as you think.
>>28876235I live in SEA and jeans are not all that bad, same with shoes I still rather wear waterproof one over some air ventelated version For jacket I go with mesh jacket mesh pant is probably cooler but you can't step off your bike and go anywhere without looking like a fag so I just wear armored jeans/cargo pants Some people ops for regular jeans and kneepad
This is a silly and autistic question. I wear Perfectos and i understand that actual armor is above all. Anyways, im buying my first bike and im actually not a huge fan of chopper style bikes. I like dual sports and intend on getting one, but would i look retarded wearing a perfecto on anything but a chopper? Again, I understand a leather jacket will not be better than actual armor, so please dont reply with hurr durr get actual gear retard
>>28876266Even on chopper, its a bad idea and look retarded. That's because if you fall, you die. If you are set on wearing perfectos, just get a tech air 5 plasma and then you can look retarded and be safe at the same time. Go out and spread your retardation in the world.
>>28876266Who cares what other people think. Have you tried looking a scramblers as a fashion compromise.
>>28876266i don't know how tight your jacket is but companies make armored shirts. you're meant to wear them under an abrasion resistant layer, but i imagine a leather jacket probably solves that problem.
>>28876285>>28876274>>28876271My question really is, does a perfecto look "out of place" on a dual sport?
>>28876286Yes.
>>28876289
>>28876290
>>28876286i would not wear a leather jacket on a dual sport. i wouldn't wear a leather jacket period.but i also don't care about what anyone else wears or what their bike looks like. maybe you'd look like a goober but it's pretty nuts to choose a motorcycle based off of how it matches your clothes. function first then form.
>>28876266Just go with ADV like every other mid life crisis dad who didn't go with Harley
>>28876286You look out of place in this world.
>>28876305I bought an ADV at 29, not married, am I doing it right senpai?
>>28876305HELL YEAH BROTHER
How could he avoid this?
>>28876363Skill issue
New helmet comes in today. My body is ready! Might even wear it to DnD tonight
>>28876166In 20months I will buy a new cl500 with cash in hand because cb500 and cb750 are ugly. Scl750 when.
>>28876110thanks mate, I guess I just have to risk it for a change even if only for a few months>>28876128sure looks comfy but I live in a very old city with hilly and narrow streets>>28876133have you ever ridden a lowered dual sport? It would much easier and prob cheaper to get an xt 350 rather than the 225 and lower it as much as I can but I don't know how it would rideI have found some drz sm they look cool but they are way too expensive (5k €)>>28876138yeah this might be it, but it's not easy finding a bike with soul and cheap at the same time>>28876169I have a cbr 125, smaller than a normal 125 narrower than a scooter and has 6 speeds, I just feels it needs a little more power but everything else is just much bigger for only a small increase of power
I been looking at these used market for popular japanese bikes and it make me wondersure these thing keep its price like gold but if you look at it from the buyer perspectiveisnt it better to just buy brand new?you probably only need to add 1-2k to get brand new CB instead of buying some 2020 20k mileage SV650 that might need another 1k to get it into riding condition
>>28876428Ok
>>28876428>add 1-2k for a brand new bike>it looses 4k the second it rolls out of the showroom
>>28876438yeah but isnt the whole point is that japanese bikes dont lose value how is it going to lose 4k when the used one only cost 2k less than brand new?where is the other 2k money gone?
>>28876442Are you 12 or retarded?
>>28876442
>>28876444>brand new bike cost 9k>1-2 years old near mint used one still cost 8k>5+ years clapped out one still cost like 6-7kI dont know explain it to me like im a retard please
>>28876457Sorry you don't have a father figure in your life
New spark plug cap arrived boys. Cold start kicking days are over
>>28876428>SV650learner bikes hold their value a bit as there is always a bunch of noobs who can't ride proper bikes.This is why you can get a real liter bike relatively cheap, a lot of wannabes just can't handle a real bike.fags, in other words.
New spark plug cap did not resolve cold start problems
>>28876495What do you ride?
>>28876469>>28876504Kek, time to buy a H O N D A >>28876128Nice H O N D A
>>28876286IMO it looks fine as long as your dual sport has street tires and looks clean and you don't go off-road with the leather jacket. Bonus points if the bike has plain colors, with no crazy stickers or wacky, stylized model name.
>>28876407Which one anon? If you wear it indoors, you are going to sweat and die from dehydration.
>>28876516Hydration is continuous my friend! Ill make sure I have redbull and Egirl bathwater on tap.>Which oneNew gundam shoei. Almost got the Miku to annoy boomers desu.
>>28876511>time to buy a H O N D AIt's a C90 lmao
>>28876511HOONDA!!!
>>28876521>Almost got the MikuI'm dissapoint in you anon. It should've been the Miku.
>>28876526I still might buy it desu. Its nice to have a selection I'm sure old ppl will think my gundam helmet is some strange WW1 tribute
>>28875214I think a major part of bikes being so dangerous statistically is the average rider is a fucking retard. In at least 80% of crash videos I've seen, the crash can be clearly attributed to the rider's bad decision making. Of course freak accidents can happen to anyone, but the vast majority of these accidents aren't ADV dorks riding defensively. It's retarded boomers or squids wilin out or having 0 situational awareness.
>>28876530More than one shoei? How rich are you? Your one helmet is going to be worth more than many bikes here. I've been meaning to get a new helmet of my own. Looking at HJC RPHA 12, LS2 Dragon and LS2 Explorer and LS2 Vector II. Fucking Suomy is not is stock. LS2 seems to have good collection of Long oval helmets.
>>28876536Not rich at all. I just don't mind spending money on my hobbies. Not like I have much else to spend it on.
I discovered chatgpt last night. Made some sick edits.
I wish other bike have Frunk like NC750xbut I dont want NC750X
>>28876542You are smart. I should consider opening my stupid purse strings and get the stupid airbag and an Arai. So I'll be wearing two scooters on me when riding.
>10 year old bike>ride it hard>high miles>put away for winter>weather starts warming up>go into garage>put key in>starts right up, no problems, no fussDamn, I love Honda.
>>28876547Im a lot of things. But brother, smart has never been one of um. I just have two hobbies to help keep myself sane and not suck starting a shotgun. So I figured maybe as well be comfy while doing um.
>32 year old bike>ride it gently>unknown miles>put away for winter>weather starts warming up>go into garage>put key in>starts right up after 15 minutes of kickingDamn, I love Honda
>>28876545>>28876549Are they edits of your own photos or completely AI generated? Curious if you have a Zero, you told chatgpt to use that, or it decided it itself.
>>28876572Slop is slop
>>28876457they're being intentionally retarded. but also the dealer price is not what you really pay. you pay 1-2k on top of that in dealer fees. plus you're paying full taxes since you can't lie on the bill of sale. if it makes financial sense, buy the new one. but i doubt that it makes sense. the dollars you save buying a used one normally is worth it. you might just be looking at listings that won't sell.
>>28876414>Cbr125rI love how cute those are.
>>28876587If you pay over msrp you're stupid
>>28876560>to help keep myself sane and not suck starting a shotgunEver thought about huffing some brake cleaner?
>>28876587i feel like its only worth buying new over 1-2 years old almost new used bike if the new bike have some new feature that you want and wouldn't get it otherwise
>>28876592Doubt it would do much. I probably have asbestos in my lungs or something from those mosquitoe fog trucks in the early 90s
Thinking about the klx300 supermoto with some adv tires as a light touring/trail bike. my 'strom is just too top heavy and a little too sporty for my liking. Is this retarded?
>>28876604Bro...dyel
>>28876604Consider the DRZ or the new DRZ Sumo. Or KTM390 SMC-R. This one looks like it was made for losers.
>>28876604Nice enough but a bit too slow for my taste, I'd rather that than the V-Strom. I'm UK though so there is nothing that isn't on the menu here.
>>28876616>UKMy condolences

>>28875893Scoots are pretty cool. Don't listen to that fag.
why am i the only one who thinks mopeds are really cool
>>28876664Senpai, you look happy stronk and amazing. You're pretty cool.
>>28876700Its not just you. Mopeds, scoots, smol displacement bikes are all cool.
>>28876702>stronk >no musclesYou ok?
>>28876703i kinda wanna sell my w800 and get a jazzy moped
>>28876700I don't know you might be mentally defective or something. Mopeds are fun to ride but they're definitely not cool.
>>28876700I've only ever seen maybe 2 mopeds in my life. They were never legal here, so the closest we ever got was those homemade bicycle engine conversions. And obviously the current trend of teenagers on hilariously fast e-bikes.
>>28876621At least the orange one doesn't having his minions bombing us yet.A Polish friend told me he'd swap his country for mine because at least we were an island.
>>28876704He looks strong to me.
>>28876705Keep both. I'll allow three bikes, after that you become a faggot.
>>28876706This is the sickest shit ever (Tony Hawk sick, not monkeypox sick) and the only jap bike I'd consider buying.Honda Z50J is also the only honda I'd be willing to buy.

>>28876709Looks like a low t aids patient to me
>>28876707Mopeds, the ones with bicycle pedals will always be a bit sad. The little scooters are where the E-bikes are now. I saw a kid the other day with a kick scooter at about 20mph the other day. I'd do that but I'm a bit old to look good on one.
>>28876712Try getting a real job
>>28876712Stop mooching off your parents kiddo.

>>28876238>i choke on victoria police cock while i'm obsessed with brown people>you've done it a bunch of times beforeyea well when you actually ride your bike for ten hours a day in a police state these things tend to happen. this is something you'll never understand because you don't even have a bike. and you always mention jeets and accuse other people of being jeets, so you're either obsessed with jeets or (more likely) you doth protesteth too much because you're a filthy curry nigger yourself. please stand in front of a train.
>>28876720Your larp is bad

>>28876723Now post yourself
>>28876720Do you still have your cock or did you cut it off?
>>28876714e-scooters are nuts. They sometimes match my acceleration up to 50 km/hr on a 500cc. I dig the bimota/italjet double swingarm suspension on them, but they look like braking hard would tip you over the front. I'd imagine you would have to lean backwards really hard to shift your balance, and you would still end up doing a stoppie.I once saw a guy doing a huge 45 degree wheelie on one for 20-30m straight through an intersection. I was in awe.
>>28876722this is me you gay kid i wear diapers because i crashed my motorcycle unlike you probably dont wet yourself moron
>>28876726I don't think this is going to end well for me.

is there an issue if i just wear mx boots all the time? i feel like a goober when i go into a store or whatever.i've got a dual sport and most of what i do is in the woods. maybe 25% of the time i'll just ride around town. shifting sucks but it's also the only thing i've really known so i don't have a point of reference.
>>28876923>i feel like a gooberThats on youYou should feel like a big boss and able to kick anyones nuts with ease, because you have ankle protection, so even if they had balls of steel, you would essentially win given enough stomps of the ballsPut your fears aside and wear mx boots all the time, but having a pair of stowaway shoes is easy to also bringCrush your enemies with mx boots-Shoom Tzu
Yay!
As the weather warms up I noticed something this year after my first year of season riding:>people are cautious and aware of bikes during the cold months>people get increasingly stupider on the roads as the weather warmsThis does not seem to have any connection to actual road conditions and instead is only connected to air temperature.
>>28874756>>28875020>Kawasaki KLE500. Thoughts?Probably the worst motorcycle released in the last decade. Everything about it is pathetic. The suspension is cheapest dogshit suspension possible. The engine character is laughable comparing to every other 450/500cc. The seating comfort nonexistent. The ground clearance is so bad it bottomed out in Kawasaki's own promo video (go check it out lol). It looks like it was designed and calculated by blind jeets, not by japanese gods. It literally has hand-sized wholes in the motorcycle because they combined incompatible frames and engines from their old stock. It weighs like a 800cc fully equipped adventure beast.I can't remember a single motorcycle released in the last 10 years that is objectively worse than this, including chinese slop.

I want a new bike again but I'm too poor
How to change my parent's opinion about me riding a motorcycle? They have absolutely no problem when I rent a scooter like picrel to ride around a town, but go absolutely insane when I mention I'm going to buy a bike. They also went ballistic when I announced I applied to a driving school.
I'll post my new helmet in the next thread

>>28877428My old man bought my a PW50 when I was 5. I bought 'my' first bike with cash (4k) when I was 16.In my case, I suggested they go halves with me in a car if they didn't want me to buy a bike and they declined.We talked it over in a very (very) one-sided fashion and eventually the dust settled.My point is that if your parents cannot respect your decisions, they make their choice and you are left to make your own. I wont judge you. Your social and financial situation is probably different.
