When most of the world can live in comfort with less space, then it would be good if everyone would. It would save energy, resources, and leave more room for nature.

Many humans are greedy and want more of everything, including space. Do you think that people who live in mansions do so against their will? Do you think that owning a mansion is good for the planet?

My definition of plenty can be flexible, and thinking about it we could be happy with less space. I lived in a caravan with an ex-boyfriend for a while which was about 20m^2, and space was not the main factor in wanting to move out.

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.

Ah, ok. You want to consume more, have more stuff, bigger and better and newer and faster.

Well, good luck with that if that's what it takes to make you happy.

And how much of that did you actually need? Why have two desks and a dining table when you can put a laptop on the table? Why have an L shaped sofa and not a compact 2 person sofa? Why have a grand piano (I'm assuming since you had a lot of space) rather than a compact electric piano?

In our first apartment we had a king size bed BTW, the space under it was great for storage and good sleep is important!
