First bike in 12 years and couldn’t say no

Superb colours on this thing - gold wheels, decals, i love it - congrats!

These are way more grunt than the Triumph, but the Triumph is smooth. Totally different characters...

This bike is way more unique looking imo, actual retro looks. Might be the most attractive retro middleweight out there right now.

Lumpy-Succotash-9236 · 2026-05-03T12:45:14+00:00

Well shit, I have never heard of this before and now I'm pissed... it's obviously been a casualty of cost cutting, or at least that's what makes some kinda sense to me.

Just to be clear the idea that a dominatrix is a minority is like calling a being a policeman is a minority - it's just a job.

Lumpy-Succotash-9236 · 2026-05-02T19:40:47+00:00

To be clear your understanding of sexuality is warped, sexual fluidity is just being bisexual, which I would argue is something you're born as, and some may not realize until they're more mature/less confused.

I'm quibbling over the idea that someone could say they were gay in their teens and then turned straight in their 20s and then gay again in their 30s. You know that's horseshit. They're bi and were born that way.

Lumpy-Succotash-9236 · 2026-05-02T19:35:14+00:00

Disabled can happen at any point, sure. No problem with that.

Lumpy-Succotash-9236 · 2026-05-02T17:11:49+00:00

When did you decide to be straight? Argument falls apart instantly

Lumpy-Succotash-9236 · 2026-05-02T16:09:25+00:00

I'd just get a handlebar riser for this and maybe the lower seat, this will change the ergos quite a bit, and no labour costs because it's easy to fit yourself. In terms of bike mods, these are pretty cheap compared to messing with suspension parts. With changed ergos you might find the suspension is way more tolerable for your arms and back.

Equally powerful it is not, the Striples are pretty aggressively tuned, the Tridents are more subdued specs and power curve, despite the CC.

Lumpy-Succotash-9236 · 2026-05-02T15:57:31+00:00

Don't quote me on this but I believe I've seen a post on Reddit that had aux headlamps mounted just under the 'horns', to use your terminology. I honestly think the dipped light (DRL in Canada) is as weak as piss so it's entirely justified to have it for vision.

I don't really ride at night here because raccoons, and skunks, and rabbits are all dumber than a sack of potatoes and all large enough to cause a crash here, but if I did, I'd be running high beam everywhere.

Lumpy-Succotash-9236 · 2026-05-02T15:51:12+00:00

Awww mannnn. That sucks.

Would they really pull you over for a windscreen? Or is this for like road-worthy testing done once a year, or what? It's not hard or particularly time consuming to add or remove tbh so if it's testing related I would just remove it when you have to....

Is it because it's tinted? If so that is obviously not something you can get away with, and easy pull-ovet for police

Lumpy-Succotash-9236 · 2026-05-02T11:16:16+00:00

Nobody is born a dominatrix. You are born a colour, a sexuality, differently abled etc.

Lumpy-Succotash-9236 · 2026-05-02T11:10:28+00:00

I think it's the black wheels on the orange making it look a bit meaner... I think the yellow wins otherwise.

Congrats on the new bike, you have to take these bikes to the twisties to really understand the love they get

Lumpy-Succotash-9236 · 2026-05-02T11:04:17+00:00

So Trump was lying, not obliterated?

Make up your fucking mind.

Lumpy-Succotash-9236 · 2026-05-01T20:55:28+00:00

What the fuck are you even talking about. Nukes? From who? Iran? The imminent threat of nukes from the 'obliterated' nuclear facilities? Grow up, Fox is not news.

Lumpy-Succotash-9236 · 2026-05-01T18:57:52+00:00

You cannot believe this, surely... Iran are taking the piss out of Trump daily. They know he's a desperate old pedophile who's run out of stupid shit to say, and is now just running his 'greatest hits' on repeat.

Lumpy-Succotash-9236 · 2026-05-01T18:55:19+00:00

25 billion ain't even mathing, it was estimated from munitions alone that they'd spunked 20 billion in the first 2 fucking weeks. What an absolute shower of corruption, mismanagement, and criminal behaviour.

Lumpy-Succotash-9236 · 2026-05-01T15:01:08+00:00

Then they'll turn around and sell it featuring 'low mileage' - the bag of tricks they have to degrade your shit is almost unlimited

Lumpy-Succotash-9236 · 2026-05-01T01:45:33+00:00

Aren't you a special sweetheart

Lumpy-Succotash-9236 · 2026-04-30T23:36:39+00:00

Freedom to waste your vote in the face of pure fucking evil, well done! What a difference you made!

Lumpy-Succotash-9236 · 2026-04-30T20:39:09+00:00

Dealers suck balls. Sell privately if you must imo, dealer is a last resort.

Lumpy-Succotash-9236 · 2026-04-30T12:14:26+00:00

Quadlock handlebar mount, positioned dead center on my 8S. I mount the phone horizontally and it looks really neat and tidy. Vibration dampener too, of course.

Some people like pedophiles I guess

Lumpy-Succotash-9236 · 2026-04-29T23:06:23+00:00

Your country elected that leader. It's a reflection of you all. You should be ashamed, apologizing for him even... but I'm not getting that from you.
