  • Harley-Davidson motorcycles are more of a brand than a bike, so they’re not known for being reliable or comfortable to ride compared to a lot of other bikes. That being said, they’re perfectly fine if that’s what you want, and you understand that you’ll have a higher likelihood of something like a persistent oil leak, or annoying electrical issue.

    The local motorcycle school by us uses Yamaha dual sport bikes for taller riders, they’re pretty inexpensive compared to other bikes, they can take a beating, and they’re pretty easy to buy and sell used.

    I have a tall buddy that got a Honda NC700X as his first bike and he’s been riding it for years on pretty long road trips. It has an automatic transmission and ABS brakes, so compared to a lot of bikes, it has a surprising amount of safety features.

    Of course, get what you like. The old saying is it’s better to buy a bike you’ll grow out of, then to buy a bike you’ll grow into.












  • It probably depends on when you were taught to code, and what language you learned on/most familiar with.

    This is exactly how I learned to write psudo code in the 80’s… We were also diagramming our code back then, with a pencil and paper, using a template.

    Kind of like with this thing.

    Now I usually do a bit of a hybrid, but it also depends on how complicated the programs are. I’ll do some python/comment-psudo-code.

    It doesn’t really matter what the process is, as long as it works for you, and doesn’t interfere with collaborating with anyone you work with.
