Moral of the story, if you find something that you're passionate about, you can kick depression's ass in a heartbeat. Don't let any cuck discourage you, and if any price is a price paid to make you happy, then so be it.
I don't give a shit take off your muffler and assert dominance with engine vrooms!

he's trying to explain an idea about the relationship between depression and passion. and he's right. I'm not in a good place but I've been in a good place before, and the hardest part is finding that thing that can snap you out of it. I'm trying to hit rock bottom so I reset but I don't know how.
Liam Moore
Same story here, I lost my old job because I came late every day, was low in production etc... Had nothing to motivate me to work, but I just bought a car I've loved since I was 8, and I've been working my ass off at my new job to buy parts for it
Yeah bikes are fun but the accidents are fucken brutal. Me i got into martial arts, so i'm not much smarter but yeah way less chance of becoming a quadriplegic.
Jose Russell
Fucking based thread. I remember when I first started tinkering and building shit. I started with 3 wheelers and go carts at age 12. Graduated to 4x4's and built a few mud/off road trucks through my teens and 20's. Now I'm pushing 30 with 3 kids and a wife in tow, and have came full circle by restoring a 1985 honda 250 big red 3 wheeler. Pic related
>with bosses who peaked in high school I'm in fast food management and I own my home outright and I just paid off my Tesla. And here you are bragging about buying a used fucking mini bike? Nigger I have a 2021 CRF 450R factory fresh. You didn't even peak at all.
You're more than just a manager of a fastfood joint then. Maybe it's multiple locations or a fixer, but it's retarded to be upset by this since it doesn't reflect your position.
Xavier Hughes
What Saab is that user? I have a Mk 4 Jetta I am thinking about starting tuning a little. Its a stick an I am so happy just bombing around coroners.
Henry Rivera
>fixer Yeah that's me, I bonus too. I'm just sick of people in the food industry getting shit on, everyone in my team owns their homes and vehicles, everyone has to eat food or die so it's a permanent job.
Nicholas Sanders
That wasn't depression. You were just in a bit of a bad mood
Camden Cruz
BMX in the front. Steampunk in the rear.
Colton Mitchell
lmao this faggot actually buys new dirt bikes lmaoooo
Adam Perez
I have an older one too, it's a total sleeper, full pro circuit suspension, punched out to 280cc, 4 gal tank, titanium pipe and pegs and sprocket. Billit controls, Italian body plastics.
Because just oversizing it .030" during a rebuild doesnt give it 30 more cc's
Cameron Brown
Yes big bore kit, beefy crank and rod, larger race carb. Took it on the salt flats and got to 120mph and almost killed myself with speed wobble.
Jason Baker
you mut be one miserable asshole then. Imagine meeting a girl and you tell her that you work at fast food
Lincoln Cox
>120 mph Big doubt
Aaron White
Was just taking the piss. Cool bike, my '04 CRF250R has been sitting in my garage for the past three years because I'm too fat a fuck to ride it. But next year ...
Nowadays, only my 701 Supermoto gets to see action.
Grayson Brown
>Imagine meeting a girl and you tell her that you work at fast food Or just be a girl, im also a troon.
Great greentext, OP. Fuck yeah, man, I’m happy as fuck for you. KX100 is a fun bike. There is nothing like riding, sex is good but if I could fuck and ride at the same time?….heaven on Earth.
