    Yes. Worth emphasising.

    Attitude is key.

    100% agree with that. I took it TO the track as I was using the road AS one way back in the day.

    Have you got google glasses? Or was it a more deliberate 'goodbye illiterate world' crash?

    How does an EN125 thread get this many replies? Has she even started moding it?

    I will, I will, don't you worry.

    I just keep spending all my spare money on actually riding it at the moment. And I'm busily paying for the whole thing over a short time period so as to own it and not owe anything, so the budget is limited.

    To me the difference is wanting a conversation for conversations sake as opposed to the hope of trying to get a leg over sometime in the future.

    To me, putting effort into communication with women you'd fuck if you could but know you won't get to is demeaning.

    I don't bother to dress it up as being 'for conversation's sake'. Let's face it, she's got nothing interesting to say. I do not see threads about new 125s from young male learner riders getting this much eager attention.

    This sort of behaviour has always been endemic to KB. I disdain it, and (as you may have noticed) I like to jump in and poke fun at those who haven't enough self-respect or self-awareness to take the same approach.

    Therefore by your own words, you only bother conversing with a woman you're going to fuck, or THINk you have a chance with?

    I don't bother to dress it up as being 'for conversation's sake'. Let's face it, she's got nothing interesting to say. I do not see threads about new 125s from young male learner riders getting this much eager attention.

    You're right, she hasnt got much to say, and that may BE the reason that she has gotten a lot of advice, or would you prefer her to be 'a la SMOKEU' style?

    I actually wonder if you do understand respect? You like to 'needle' instead of discuss a topic sensibly, then wonder why you've gotten 'needled' in return? If anyone asks a sensible question or wants help as a new rider i will always male or female (ooops I must be bi, huh?) reply if I can offer any insight or help, As one poster here put a few weeks ago,, the old guys may come across a bit weird/strong, but we are trying to KEEP you alive!! I am NOT an 'expert rider' or professional trainer, however I have ridden almost 38yrs, as my MAIN form of transport, including English winters, London traffic and European roads..... guess I know fuck all about fuck all
