Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I have been saving up for a motorcycle since I was 20. Now I'm approaching 40 and there's finally some money in that account
I highly recommend it if you're the kind of person who can be safe and keep your concentration on the road. I have a town hopper with small bags that I use more often than either my car or my truck and I've got a bagger that I take on long trips if the weather is pretty reasonable. It's fun, it's cheaper to maintain than a full size vehicle, and generally it's quicker getting in and out of places.
Scuse but I bought a bike in my mid 20s for a few grand wtf kinda bike you holding out for? Like 2300 all in. It wasn't a beauty, it wasn't in pristine condition but it got me in and I learned a lot. You have to be realistic with expectations.
There are always more important things or more immediate concerns. I had my first kid at 23. Plus 2300 is not something I have ever had as spare money.
I had a child just before turning 40. As soon as that happened my urge to ride around on 2 wheels vanished while the rest of traffic is oversized trucks and SUVs with “drivers”staring at TikTok videos.
