It's a reality TV series where D-list personalities are dropped in the middle of the forrest and have to hike out without being eaten by bears.

Well, with a dirt bike she'll be able to throw it at the ground with gusto!

Except that OP is in the UK.

While you might want to go in straight lines most of the time being able to handle corners first is a good idea, plus things like emergency brake and swerve techniques to avoid accidents ... the European test only checks if you can emergency brake from 30mph, stopping from 75 with enough technique to feel like your eyeballs are being sucked out of your skull takes practice.

Hell, I remember one American on Reddit who swore up and down that you shouldn't use the front brake to emergency stop - for people who really love motorbikes extra training is a must, and that starts with a small bike you can drop a lot while learning how to use the whole tire and how to handle a bike when the front wheel locks, etc.

Edit: as for your BMW, why not just add a tooth to front sprocket?

They're good bikes, ideal for learning how to off-road and the parts are readily available ... good luck!

I don't know, I've never played online

I just picture it in my mother's talk about how ladies should keep their legs closed ... like "Now, Seven, you're getting to that age when older men start taking an interest in you, and you don't want to come down with a case of Slagboom, what would the neighbours think?!"

I have no idea what that is, so I'm going to say no ... if you mean the motorbike, it's a Rieju Tango

My favourite Dutch word is Slagboom

Thank you for your beautifully worded reply.

Very well put!

Because the world is on fire, while the richest humans want to consume more. Your replies are typical of that mindset, you could hardly contain your consumerism while living in an area which in much of the world would be considered large and luxurious.
