Is there a build thread for this? Yes please?

This. it was/is a Virago XV500. Built by me.

Gotta disagree, being an adult is better than being a teenager. I’ll let the Oatmeal explain.

I want to open an abortion clinic and café called Zip Boppity Bops. We would have fresh juice!

Preach. I’m pregnant with my fourth child (yes, I’m crazy) and I keep going into my doctor with new problems and she’s like “Well yeah. That’ll happen.” Dude. I have read much and experienced much and I still don’t know shit. Tell people these things!

Going along with the “something cheap” theme here... My first bike was a 1991 Suzuki GS500E in 2008 for $900. It was my primary transportation in college. I put a couple hundred bucks into maintaining it over 2 years and sold it for... $900. Make sure you get a relatively embarrassing color scheme like teal with…

This information always makes me so fucking infuriated. You know what’s medically dangerous? PREGNANCY. With an abortion, you get some anesthesia and zip bop bippity pop, it’s done. With my C-section, they gutted me open, put my uterus and intestine on my belly, and then sewed it all back into place. I couldn’t walk…

The fact that this is legal is mind blowing. I’m a medical professional and if I lied like this to my patients, my license would probably (hopefully!) be revoked. How is their no state agency oversight?

I spent my first year riding a friends Buell Blast. Since it was a 500cc thumper, it had plenty of low end torque for confident starts but was wheezy on the top end so as not to get new riders into trouble. The upright riding position is very confidence inspiring and the bodywork’s color is molded into the plastic so…

Agree universal Japanese motorcycles are the way to go. Cheap, plentiful, easy to ride, easy to fix, super customizable. Then again, this is one of those “it’s the way I did it so it must be right.”

Your Dad’s idea of a 600 is probably not the same as today’s 600.

GS500. Cheap as hell and you don’t mind beating it up, they’re easy to find. They’re bigger than a 250 so you don’t get bored that fast but they’re not as big as a 600. They have a approachable riding position. They’re really perfect and found for 1100 easy. There are lots of better bikes but your 2nd bike should feel…

A used one under 500 cc.

Can we entrench it with this 15-second KO?

Here’s my philosophy on it:

Studies show that after two years of hormone therapy, there is no difference in skeletal or muscular structure that would give a trans woman an advantage over a cis woman.

It’s bullshit that she doesn’t want to fight someone who was still living as a man until she was 31? No, asshole, that’s called common sense.

“I stormed into my room and pulled on my plastics”

You’re such an inspiration!!! So much respect! Whenever I start flagging at the gym, I think of how this is nothing compared to what you go through!
