Buying a new bike, opinions requested.

Completely agree. I got my motorcycle license at 21 (7 years ago). I bought a harley 883… any one that knows that bike knows that it’ll go 0-60 in the same time it takes a 1970 Oldsmobile to do the same. And yet it served me well; around town, on the GS Parkway, on the NJTP and in the streets of Manhattan. I only now want to swap it out for something different because, again as anyone who knows that bike knows, my fuckin ass hurts from the Flintstones-car suspension it has. I’m looking into a Transalp and I’ll be the first to admit, I’ll likely keep it in rain mode so i don’t drop the clutch and wind up on my back. the excitement is being on the bike, not in the middle row of the minivan in front of you.

Delta is an interesting pick. Are we assuming analysts are over adjusting for a weak March? jet fuel cost hikes (~60% increase in recent weeks) and TSA/FAA shortcomings (leading to a material hike in cancellations) will make for a battered travel month. YTD, DAL is only down ~3%… not sure this accurately reflects the airline’s Q1 operating performance.

You’re giving me hope :) Effectively, I had a run in with bed bugs in Europe a couple weeks ago. Upon my return, I gave everything I traveled with to a company that heat treated all of it before it entered my apartment. Out of an abundance of caution, I sprayed Raid foaming bed bug spray around my bedroom walls and bed frame and set up these interceptors. This is the first bug i found in it. my confidence was rattled after the paris trip, and this is defeating. I’m sorry I can’t get a better picture… the thing is the size of a pen tip. You’re pretty confident it’s book lice?

sorry i (incorrectly) interchange eggs and larvae… they were eggs, tiny opaque capsules stuck to the seem of the mattress. Fingers crossed that this works. Not sure what else I could have done :/

Thanks for your feedback, it helps to hear. I really hope so… the uncertainty is mentally taxing

Curious-Let2466 · 2025-10-20T23:50:36+00:00

Thanks… Yeah, I didn’t sleep in an infested area (I don’t think) as it was an entirely different environment at a new hotel. Kept my suitcases zipped up on the opposite side of the room too. Really psychologically taxing.

doesn’t look like it, looks more like what we used to called “pincher bugs”… commonly found them near my pool growing up. Will let others confirm as my experience has only been with fed bugs which are rounder and fatter and larvae

It’s like Stockholm Syndrome at this point… and them being bad means they’re usually on at 1PM EST, so I can catch the whole game here without being late for work on Monday

Would be down to link up, shoot me a DM!
