9. Suicide Risk - Specific Disorders
Several studies show that schizophrenia is associated with a suicide risk which is 8.5 times higher than that observed in the general population. Suicide appears to be most common in those under 30 years of age, and the risk is highest in the first year following diagnosis.

I thought this thread was about bikes?

I called my doctor and he advised you to buy one of their cars, and let your wife drive it for your own safety!

He also said you were right about me being diagnosed with scizo, and that I sometimes forget to take my meds.

Here's hoping I won't listen to the voices in my head in the near future, because he also said that I apparently live just down the road from where you live.

I think we all understand you're very proud of your medication now. You can move on you the beginnings of the breakdown.

I was under the impression that we communicated in English here, sorry can't understand a word you're saying here :?:

So did you test drive your new bike, or the ones you like to purchase?

Try some nutrition, you look like you couldn't complete a single push up.

BMW have a line of "superbikes" as well, but I wonder, don't these car brands just buy the hardware from some real bike manufacturer, slap a BMW logo on it and then sell it at twice the price the original manufacturer would've sold it for?

In other words, can't you get the exact same bike for half the price if you don't buy it from Aston Martin or BMW?

some googling brought me to this conclusion :

The Factor Bike 001 series costs £21,000, The Aston Martin ONE-77 Factor Bike costs £25,000, but has the same framework and mechanics.

So yeah, you're paying £4,000 for the Aston Martin logo.

hahahaha £25,000 for a bicycle? I bet it's real snazzy. Can you do some sick drops on it? Probably not. What a waste of cash. You could probably design and engineer your own fucking bike for that much money.

I think the research and materials involved with Tour de France bikes make them cost like a tenfold of that.
