    Bespoke panniers Interest

    I mean, that seems like more of a you problem to be honest, it was only used in the thread title, not in the actual dialogue; however I can see why, I don't use it regularly, nor do I see it often, however it can be a "douchy" word as you say.

Need work out friends, used to run 18 km a day and play hockey 6 times a week, now I'm a tub of...lard....and my sleep has suffered for it massively, to the point that my short term memory has been crapping itself; no stress release, and I'm anxious...

    Breaking Ties With My Family To Obtain A Motorcycle.

    Sounds like a hell of a situation; luckily I have not had to go through it myself. But honestly, if you want to ride, you will find a way, and it will be up to them whether or not to support you or not. I have had friends who have left home to buy cars and have ended up back home during...
