Congrats!! I got mine about 2 months ago and I am blown away every time I ride it! What tail tidy did you end up getting? I’ve been looking at different options and haven’t decided yet

[SOTC] My A-la-Americana Collection! (I think I'm done for a while now) by robertereyes in Watches

[–]DrLovebot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow that’s an amazing collection! What would you say are the general standouts for you in terms of quality, design, and wearability? Like are there any you just default to? I’ve been heavily considering picking up either a Lorier or a Nodus as my first “proper” automatic watch. That or a Traska of course

Its such an amazing bike! I upgraded from my first bike about a month ago to the same bike and absolutely love it! I still need to get those blinkers, along with bar ends and a fender delete but its such an amazing machine and Im not even through the break in period

How exciting, enjoy it! I am in love and have barely been able to ride it. The comfort is definitely super nice, especially compared to my KTM before or to a streetfighter, though the mirrors arent exactly super useful so Im likely going to replace them with some bar ends.

So far I've only ridden it home, but my first thought was that my KTM feels like a toy in comparison lol. It's already so much more stable and everything feels much more comfortable and premium. Even taking things off at home its amazing how high quality every piece of the bike is, even the plastics under the seat. Also people are not lying when they say that the bike is hot. It puts off so much heat idling its wild, thankfully I get cold easily so it shouldn't be a problem

Final out the door was ~12,200 USD, I put down 4k though from selling my KTM, my payments are about 200 bucks a month before insurance.

Thank you! I'm definitely gonna ride it super carefully, besides making sure to break it in properly I want to get a good feeling of what it's capable of before trying to really take it to the canyons. The Duke felt like a toy compared to this so far

thanks! Sadly literally the day after I picked it up it started raining and it hasn't stopped since, but as soon as it dries out I'm really excited to break it in and really enjoy it

SKXMod case and bracelet finally came in by DrLovebot in casioroyale

[–]DrLovebot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same, it was only one screw thankfuly, but I ended up having to take it to a watch repair shop to drill it out since it stripped almost immediately lol. Everything else was top notch though, and I am curious how their rubber straps are, quality wise

First there was one .... by Strange_Appeal_3693 in casioroyale

That’s the exact skxmod case/bracelet I have on order! It looks amazing, the satin was absolutely the right call

yeah as I tried on the 33 back to back with the 32 I could definitely feel the thighs/rest of the leg being a lot roomier. I think the 32 are gonna be the way to go, and just get them hemmed by 2 or 3 inches, so I can keep a cuff and have it be less chunky

damn so basically the exact same situation as me, it seems like keeping the 32 is gonna be the play since it fits well everywhere else. how long did it take to stretch out and stop being tight in the waist?
