Nothing new there, we all know you are good at making those. People on your level tend to and all that jazz.
I was lucky, someone here gave me their old vest.

Hand me down flip-flops, hand me down socks.
Thanks. I did some digging. Turns out I can possibly be hit by a bus tomorrow.

Hard to say OP since we dont know much about you.
Having said that, riding a motorcycle should be a hobby/sport. Being an adult, comes responsibility and priority. Sometimes you can afford to have hobby and being responsible sometimes you have to pick one or the other.
Your gf is probably looking to have this relationship going forward sooner than you think. If so , having a car so you can build the nest together is what she cares more than you having little toy funs. I doubt you would not feel the same if one of her hobbies was to spend all her money traveling to eat foods around the world or to learn all religions for fun.

So I'm not dissing the car, had one for 10years before moving to Toronto (close to D-Town) from Brampton and had to scrap it 2 weeks after my move then and never needed I car since (5 years without a car) everything was close by, I managed. Now I'm living in Etobicoke and I'm starting to feel the necessity but not a growing one. I agree, in this country a car is a necessity but depending on what part of the country we live the need can be more intense than other parts. I intend to buy a car in a near future ideally next year or two years top.
Reason why I focus on the bike this year, got the momentum going and don't want to put it to rest and put the project on the back burner again: 1st year, end of the season; second year, property purchase; this year I don't wanna have to postpone it for next year ... who know what will happen next year?
I like starting what I finish; just having the M2 sitting in my wallet with no bike while I'm seeing riders out there enjoying their ride for me is not good enough and burns me inside ... like something is not finished.
Looking forward to gtam meetups to meet like minded and people sharing the same enthousiasm, men and women. This community is awesome, just love it. Haven't met you guys yet but love the vibe I get from the forum (thanks y'all for all your input (even the funny and entertaining ones) and advice in general ever since I've joinned the club sorta speak lol.
As far as my gf goes, well we'll see with time if and how the bike project will affect our dynamic in anyway and when that happens, we'll cross the bridge when we get there, until then she's still my gf ☺?

It means she wants you to understand that your actions will directly effect "both" of you moving forward. Do you really want to be the guy sitting on the city bus with a crying baby? An "building a nest" is exactly how it sounds, two people working/building their lives/finances together.
We live in a country where it hurts to go outside for half the year, get yourself a car and then once you have an understanding of your financial situation THEN you can decide how to go about entertaining yourself. Not having a car is a ****** way to live here.

Well ... I see what you mean. I think our respective lives doesn't reflects anything close to building a nest, I say that because she has children of her own (teens) and a busy lifestyle that keeps her busy. Me on another hand, I'm not married nor have children. I would be 100% on normal circumstances but what you've described doesn't necessarily applies to us.

I think due to the questions you've been asking we all assumed you were a young guy.
1) Don't come to GTAM for relationship advice. That comes from people you genuinely know and respect and who can probably see both sides of the situation better.
2) There are exactly 10 GTAMers worth listening to otherwise. No names except Inreb. He gives it to you straight, like our highways.
3) Scooters are the best.

My wife supports me 110%. I would ride anyway but it makes things easier between us. I've been riding since before we got together so she already knew what she was getting into. Things may have escalated way beyond what she thought they would at 16 but it's too late now lol.
My close friends, they couldn't care less it seems and I couldn't care less about how little they care. They ask a small talk question and I give small talk answers and we carry on as we have for the last 20 years. We are getting together to watch the CSBK race and have some beers and pizza but most will make 0 effort to actually come out and watch at the track and I'm ok with it. I make 0 effort to come watch their men's league baseball games. It's a two way street.

Cars don't give you status. Even the poor have cars.
Who cares what they think?
I get flack for having too many vehicles.
Then again, my gf supports me riding for the most part. Doesn't ride with me though. Doesn't like the crazy ideas I get about riding in the winter, lol.

I've been with my husband 16 years, and he doesn't ride.
He hates it, but that is his problem. Short of me not riding nothing will make it better so I don't try. I give him my schedule for the season and he has to deal with it. When he gets snippy I ignore it. No other way to deal with this. I knew when I met him he didn't like this, and that it wasn't ever gonna change. Like I say, it's THEIR issue to get over. Or not
