So im thinking of upgrading to an R9 (from a Z650) next summer, and while it won't be a dedicated track bike, I live 40 mins from a really amazing track and would track the bike occasionally.

I'm doing some research, and I've heard a good bit of people claim the bike is uncomfortable due to how wide it is, especially for a track. I'm trynna take with a grain of salt, I know a lot of people hate on the R9 since they prefer the R6, but im 5'10 (5'11 on a good day), and am pretty lean at 160 pounds, so I'm worried that maybe the R9 might be a bit wide for me.

I know the obvious answer is "test ride a R9" and I would if there was one closer to me, most dealers around me do not have a R9 available yet plus its almost winter were im at, so I cant really test ride one right now.

Looking at some quotes and insurance makes no sense to me

Yamaha R7 1250/year, ZX6R 1350/year, Ninja 650 350/year, Z650 450/year, Ninja 500 84/year

All full coverage btw.... all same year, new and everything

Like what? How is a 500 roughly 360 bucks cheaper a year then a 650!? How is a Z650 more rhen a Ninja? Why is a ninja 650 special and a Ninja 500 not?

How is a R7 almost as much as a ZX-6R!?

Idk man I just dont know

So I saw the post about the San Diego group of fans and was wondering what about Wisconsin?

I recently moved to WI earlier this summer and was wondering if there's any other fans in WI or any bars for Falcon fans. I'm in an area where driving to a city like Green Bay, Milwaukee, or Madison is very doable for game day

I know its pretty slim asking here, but just figured why not ask

Wouldn't it be nice if we could do this. Then we wouldnt have to wonder so long. And wouldnt it be nice to live as a family, in this kind of world they belong?

You know this would make GTA that much better, when the characters say goodnight and stay together

Seriously tho, we better be able to impregnate her and then its all like waaaaahh

Idk, when they were revealed I absolutely hated them, thought they looked to basic, lame, and idk, I was glad we went back to red but we legit just looked like the Cardinals and I really thiught the jerseys could use atleast SOME black

Then I watched rhe first qtr if the pre season game, and while it sucked, the jerseys atleast finally grew on me... well on the field still dunno about them commercially

Maybe I've just been single way too long cuz i only started doing it when I got dumped last a few years ago

Buuuuut... for some reason i stopped shaving and one day just like... started combing my pubes and then they got super soft then I tried styling them, almost like a hair style but for my dick instead, then I started giving it haircuts and fancy fades and all kinds of things... now I kinda just comb my pubes and sometimes braid it

I didnt think much of it until this morning when I was pissing at the urinal at work and spent an extra few minutes just playing with my pubes... then it hit me and I started thinking wtf am I doing and it hit me harder that I've been weird like this since getting dumped a few years ago and stopped caring about shaving down there cuz not like anyone sees or plays with my weiner besides me

So... idk kinda wondering if im the only pube playing and braiding weirdo

Im mid 20s, decided its time I try to learn to ride a motorcycle. I signed up for MSF wait time was like 2-3months... Bought a bike early cuz I got a great deal. Then dropped the bike while unloading it and broke a rearset, 2 weeks later I got it fixed then tried riding it but almost hit a parked car... tho I saved it by dropping the bike again (fortunately had frame sliders on this time and nothing broke), so got my dad to ride it to a parking lot, riding was super fun and honestly picked up on the controls easily-ish I think. So, I figured I may as well get my temps cuz i have 2 months before the MSF, so why not get my temps now so I can legally practice some...

Yeah well, I failed the fucking permit written test because despite me taking AND PASSING (easily somehow) 10 practice tests from my states dmv site... I failed because the actual test I took had questions the multiple practice tests I took didnt even fucking cover... 19/25... the wording was tricky on some so I picked the 2nd best answer instead of the dmv handbook desired answer... like legit on all 6 of those I was like "its either A or B" but no of course I picked the wrong one even tho I knew it was the other... now I have to wait 24 hours before I can fucking take it again but im already embarrassed enough from everything else... plus DMV is only open during work hours... so have to take time off again...

Idk maybe I just shouldnt even show up for the MSF... probably going to fail that too somehow and will have to wait even longer...

Maybe it's just the popularity of sports bikes, the content i consume, and the amount I see in my town... but I bought a Kawasaki Z650 and wish I had gotten the Ninja instead

I bought my first bike recently, a brand new 2025 Kawasaki Z650, and while I really like it, part of me wishes I had just gone for the ninja instead.

Originally, I did go to the dealership to look at Ninja 650s and 500s but saw the Z650 was on sale for almost 3k off and figured since this will be my first bike, I will save money especially cuz gear was a bit more expensive then I had anticipated... and again, its my first bike and since its cheaper it wont affect me AS much if/when I drop it (and guess what I already did lol) and while im happy with my choice... part of me wishes I had just gone with a traditional looking sportbike because they just look much cooler and everyone else has them... I just figured, first ever bike, get a cheap one you can learn on then upgrade later... but now im thinking by the time I can get a super sport (like a ZX-6R), will it even be worth it? Plus some Youtubers say the Z650 is a bad bike

Im also worried since my bike is a naked bike, highway riding will suck...

As im a new rider, I dont have too many miles on the bike yet (<20 miles, plus I am taking the MSF in a few weeks) I feel like its more recency bias and once I actually start riding the bike for real and not just in a parking lot, I will enjoy it much more (I mean, i already enjoy my bike as is but once I start really riding what if I wish i had an actual sport bike?)... but idk why part of my brain keeps nawing at me saying I should have gotten the ninja instead... maybe cuz literally everyone in my town, and gym, has a sport bike and my dad used to race amateurly so idk... tho my dad did use to have a MT-09 before he stopped riding

But idk... did I buy the wrong bike? Am I wasting time and money buying a "begginer" bike? Should I have bought a super sport instead and grown into it?

Idk

Idrk why but I was doing good, not in the havent looked at porn good, but was able to look temptation in the face and say nah idrc good.

Then a girl I was seeing ghosted me out of the blue... and then my friend got into a relationship and I'm happy for him but its all he talks about now so I guess the depression won (not trynna make excuses) and now the past 3 weeks have been non stop...

I need help... Im failing God (im a Christian but I understand most of reddit is not), my self, my future self and wife... im not even gonna do a throw away this time cuz idc anymore... I need help

Idk why I didnt even fight it but one night a few weeks ago I legit said fuck it imma go for it and ever since its like 2nd nature to me... come home from work, gym, middle of the night and cant sleep, first thought is porn and I dont onow why I dont even fight it anymore...

Ots fortunately not as bad as it was in highschool but ive relapsed hard and need advice this time

He says narrow is the path to follow him, then also says his yoke is easy and burden is light... what does that mean?

&#x200B;

I have severe anxiety about a lot of BS things and I try hard turning to God for help and to put Him first and not have other idols but it feels like with my anxiety I am putting other idols above Him... like the other day I legit had a miniature panic attack because of some dumb thing Im worried about... I prayed and prayed and prayed because it is written "Come to me all who are weary and I will give you rest" - Matthew 11:28-30, and it never went away. A few days later I can still feel the tightness in my chest and short of breath.

&#x200B;

I know Jesus never says life will be easy, he never says because we are christians and follow him we are granted an easy life. But he does say he gives us the desires of our hearts, psalm 37:4, he said ask, seek, knock and you will find Matthew 7:7-8, and yet I do these things and nothing changes? I know jesus doesnt stop the storm but sits with us through the storm (story of Shadrach Meshach and Abendigo)... I know he says narrow is the path to him (meaning its hard) but he also says he will give us rest, he will give us the desires of our hearts, and that his yoke is easy and burden is light

&#x200B;

So then why is it so hard? Why do I cower on my couch begging and pleading for God to just take it all away (my anxiety and to please have the things im anxious about either just go away or work out whatever his will is) yet I have to shake myself to sleep only to wake up and barely have a moment of peace before anxiety strikes me again...

&#x200B;

I love God... but im struggling to trust Him at the moment and that makes me really angry that im struggling to trust Him... im struggling cuz I keep praying but nothing changes... maybe im not seeking asking and knocking hard enough... idk

Just got my haircut... I told the barber what I normally get and bro just starts cutting away, didnt ask any questions... just starts cutting... when he got to the top I see him cut HUGE parts of my hair off and im like... ok kinda way more then a 1inch trim but I'll trust the process... yeaaahh... I look like a 12 year old butch lesbian now... I legit said I want a 2 on the sides and a 1 inch trim on top... bro took that as a 2 everywhere except the bangs... IM CHOPPED CHEESE... and bro even cut my hair to extrenuate my receding hairline more... like he saw how I styled my hair went nah imma give him a huge AF faux hawk with poor blending instead and rolled with it... my side burns arent even even! Which normally when it happens, it's not a big deal cuz its easy to fix... but bruh

I compared a picture from the last time I got my haircut to now and its WAY different... bro cut it and now my hair looks so flat and horrendously blended... that last time I got it cut, everything was perfect...

This is what I get for moving to a new city and trusting the highest-rated barber shop in town I guess and not realizing i should show a picture to a new barber....

I wouldnt care so much but I just started seeing this girl and now im chopped cheese 😭

Hey everyone, I have a 2018 ZR2 and I’ve been dealing with a worsening and very annoying screen/infotainment issue.

Basically, touchscreen is experiencing “phantom touches/inputs” like someone is constantly tapping/swiping the screen. It randomly switches between Android Auto screens (Maps/Spotify), zooms in/out on Maps, and often times becomes fully unresponsive to my actual inputs which is especially annoying when I need Maps open but it is stuck on Spotify or a zoomed in maps that doesnt show my location as its way off screen

It started occasionally and would normally be just a random tap or swipe here and there but now its worse and happens at a random time during my drives... it can start any time from 1–30 minutes in... The only temporary fix is restarting the truck, but it sometimes only lasts a few minutes.

I’ve tried, power cycling the screen, restarting the vehicle but that can really only be done when its convenient, pressing corners of the screen which sometimes helps a decent bit but not always.

Nothing permanently fixes it or at least fixes it temporarily for long enough to not be annoying....

Has anyone dealt with this? Is this a known failure (digitizer/head unit issue), or is there a fix other then needing to replace the screen?

Thanks!
