If you're in Europe and passed your A test you're about ready to start learning how to actually handle a small bike.
Get extra instruction, and start doing Moto Gymkhana. Consider getting a cheap small and light bike like a CBF250 or Duke 125, and learn to really master it.
Your instructor probably shrugged when you said you were getting a TransAlp because he knew there was no point in telling you not to. He's seen umpteen people pass their test and then go out and crash right away.
This is a predominantly American Men's thing, as far as I can tell. Many get the biggest bike they can, fail to learn to control it, and then go around chest thumping.
Meanwhile the best rider I know, a professional test rider, spends his weekends teaching Moto Gymkhana on a 125.
The Borg became a metaphor for colonialism, I think, with assimilation being an "improvement" for it's victims.
Every world has the equivalent of Trump supporters, I guess
Very much on-brand that while the federation have lots of fancy comfy chairs, Quark just went to Ikea

Thanks, I saw the other post but didn't know if that was the original!
TBH I only knew it was on because I walked past a cinema with a poster up. I hadn't heard anything or seen any ads, so went in completely blind on a whim ... the marketing must have been non-existant
If you replicate a Moog does that make it a synth synth?
Does anyone have the original artwork?
I un-ironically like it.
I'm well aware of what the European test requires, since I have a European license.
It teaches the bare basics to be on the road and not die on a normal sized bike. It is the starting point from which to learn how to handle a bike properly.
If someone has just taken their test they are not ready to handle a 650 to it's full potential, never mind a tall 750 like the new TransAlp. Getting a smaller bike and finding out how to scrape the pegs at 30kph in Moto Gymkhana is a good start for the road, for adventure riding trials is the best.
