Depending on what I'm doing yes

The tires are not good, and I wouldn't use them for road course. But they do okay on the street and at the strip and I'm too lazy to set up a set of wheels for drag racing (for now)

What's a single player PC game you can't get enough of? in c/[email protected]

I did much of the same thing

It turns out building a better pc and playing cyberpunk has the same effect as walking around a city on acid.

Who would've thought

If you showed up to my local track on that you'd have a line of dudes who have 8 second bikes giving you tips and cheering you on.

Shit I'd be hype to play around with it and see just how fast you could actually get it going lmao

It would 100% make sense

If I wanted to get into the singles I'd at least need a swing arm but I don't want to comprise on the handleing for this specific bike since I make it fill many roles.

However, I've been debating doing a supercharged build on either a 08 gen cbr1000 or an old blackbird. I'm kind of itching to make a properly dumb drag bike now

(Edit) I also think its kinda neat to show what you can do on a stock wheelbase bike. I want to encourage more people to race at the strip and such.

This is my dual duty street/track cbr1000rr. While I far prefer road racing, drag racing offers some cheap practice.

Currently running it stock wheelbase with a strap, pushing Into the 10s @140 mph. While it is running full bazzaz engine management, intake, full yoshi exhaust etc. I will probably move to an mr12 tune here soon and possibly build a long swing arm setup I can swap to as drag racing is quite fun.

Honda managed to make a bike that both scoots in the straights and turns like my other 600s. A fantastic machine!

So my teammate races a zx10r and we have been talking about different bikes to have for street shenanigans etc. Apparently you can build out a z900 with Brocks parts to cut a 10 second quarter mile.

While I'm not a cafe guy, the idea of a cafe bike that can cut up older 1000ccs is kind of entertaining. They also look fantastic in black and gold.

Do people get partners because as we get older we have less friends? in c/[email protected]

That mentality is 100% part of the reason male suicide rates are higher.

I have plenty of fulfilling emotional relationships with my guy friends. It's a support network. We work together and help each other out. I'd have no problems talking to them about anything and they bring me everything they need to talk about.

As far as insecurities in relationships go, if I can't be honest with my girlfriend/wife about my life then it's a pointless relationship imo. Spending my life with someone I can never be truly open with seems like a living hell. I've made a point in all my relationships to be vulnerable and realistic over the years, and if they don't like it I move on.

Your rant is validated, but if you are in situationships where you can't be yourself I advise you go find the ones where you can
