All street legal motor vehicles should be required to keep their exhaust noise within acceptable noise limits. If you require the noise of a revving motor to assert your masculinity, you really don't have any.
Been going back and forth w the very patient folks at Arch Motorcycles for the past three years as I asked about the customization process, the build - and what's involved in every step of the way.
I paid the deposit on the bike on my birthday three months ago, and it's now ready for shakedown/orientation ride w Gard Hollinger in one week. SO PSYCHED.
Lots of mystique and mystery about the bike and its very famous co-founder (yes, I have ridden motorcycles w Keanu Reeves as part of the Arch owner's events; while my bike was under construction, they gave me key to one of their shop bikes).

InsideHook review of the KRGT-1
A skeptical motorcycle journalist pushes a KRGT-1 to limits and offers frank opinions on it.
Fucken cones
This might be unpopular opinion but I really dislike how most people, especially on streamer servers, push the meta, play super hardcore. It's just so unnecessary and kind of ruins some of the game for me. I like optimizing my characters and all that but classics situation now is just too unhealthy. Examples of this is the current PvP battlegrounds situation. Everything is taken too seriously. Raiding now is not that hard to justify this. Part of the blame goes to (I hate to say this) influencers - YouTubers, streamers.
Sometimes I think if those people even enjoy playing the actual game? I think I am not alone on this though, Madseasonshow talked about this in one of his streams, Ebbn did as well. Maybe people are starting to notice these things and are getting tired?
So some background.
I live in an apartment complex without assigned parking but with garages every 6 spaces or so on one side. It's basically a free for all in the other spots and there's more cars than spaces on my side of the complex so by late in the evenings most of the spots are filled and you have to park a little bit away and walk back to this side some times.
Recently I bought a garage by my apartment and a motorcycle. I already have an SUV though. So I have 2 vehicles and technically I have a garage for 1 and then a space for the other, since I live here I take that as I'm allowed to have a parking space. Just not a designated one.
Recently I've taken to parking my bike sideways in a spot and all the way to the front/back of the free space which leaves me room to park my SUV in the same space. I thought I was being smart by only taking up one free space. Yes I'm not using my garage all the time but I'm not making it any MORE inconvenient for anyone else because my bike is always in a space anyways.
Its convenient for me because if I need my bike I can just move my car to the garage, if I have stuff in the garage I dont have to move it to park, if I want to get to my car quicker I can because it's in the free space and not inside the garage behind the slow garage door and what not.
So last night I come home to someone parked in the space with my bike. Technically that space is already being used by me because my bike is there, even if there is also space for their SUV.
And now they've blocked in my bike and I have no way to get to it and no way to move their car or even know who parked there. So I parked my SUV in my garage after making some room and then called the tow people to come haul away this random vehicle.
My brother says it's my fault because i left the space for the other vehicles. Which i feel is BS. 1 car per space is the rule. Shouldn't matter if there is space for someone else's car. They shouldn't be allowed to block me in, and because I pay for the garage and I live here I should be allowed to use my garage and 1 space in the lot. However I wish.
Am I being an asshole though? Or is my brother and this random stranger blocking my bike selfish assholes? I cant tell. I usually am an asshole so I dont realise until after the fact. Thanks for any opinions.
Edit thanks for the insight. I've decided to talk with my apartments management and see what they think. If they dont want me parking both my vehicles in 1 spot th

So this sort of goes back a few weeks but my best friend started dating a new guy. I only saw pictures and I have to admit he's very good looking but I didn't get to meet him until Saturday. And I don't know how to put this...but he's a staggering douche. He came over to my house to meet my boyfriend and I and all he wanted to do was talk about his motorcycle. My friend was just goo-goo eyes at him and I was honestly bored stiff because he could not talk about anything else.
He was literally in the middle of telling us how he sent both his bike and helmet off to some reality TV show custom shop in LA to have them painted to match when my Rottweiler started humping his helmet on the floor. Obviously the dog is much bigger than the helmet so I didn't see him "holding on" (and thus scratching the helmet) but I laughed my ass off. I mean this guy putting so much pride in his bike that his entire life revolved around and it was reduced to being humped by an 11 year old Rottweiler. My boyfriend started laughing and while we were trying to say we were sorry, we just couldn't control it. I shooed my dog away and the guy actually went into the kitchen and asked for dish soap to wash his helmet. As he was in the kitchen, I was laughing so hard I felt like I was going to pee my pants and my friend kept saying "you guys are such fucking assholes. you're embarrassing him." I managed to compose myself when he came back in the living room and he and my friend left. So AITA for that incident?
Now to today, my friend just called me and said that her guy just realized that my dog had left massive scratches in the helmet and he wants to me to pay him back. I told her that if Bubs really left scratches, then he would have showed us on Saturday after he spent 10 minutes with his helmet under running water with soap. So I don't believe him and that I refused to pay. I guess this guy is being such a douche he's sort of hinting that he won't go out with her again if I don't pay. I told her that really should be all she needs to hear about this guys character. She again told me I was an asshole and I embarrassed him.
I can see in so many ways that I wasn't polite during this situation and maybe I shouldn't have laughed. But it was funny so I think her words to me are a little harsh and I can't see any way I'm an asshole for not paying for the "damage" when he didn't show me the "da

I hear a lot of third person stories about almost every brand out there. But first person stories are what matters. that's why I thought that I would try my luck here before buying one.
Edit:
I'm looking for a bike for daily 40kms travel through city for work. May be 6-8 long trips of 300km in a year. Maximum budget is 2.5 lakhs, but it doesn't mean that I'm not looking at any reliable 150cc bikes.
I didn't specify my needs as I wanted a take on the brands rather than any specific product or segment of theirs.
