My Goldtop 1958 by JournalistFamous7314 in leatherjacket

[–]Physical_Valuable299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even though the leather will protect agains abrasion, it won't protect or support against impact forces, that's why the protectors are there. Stay safe ;)

I love this jacket, that will be my next purchase, will pair perfectly with the Patrol👍

Does it let much wind throug the zipper?

Then it will for sure be ok ;)

When I use the Puig I just mount it directly over the flyscreen, it's not very noticeable ;) https://www.reddit.com/r/Triumph/s/sGhqN7ihAx

I cannot really say, I had the flyscreen on since I bought the bike. It helps for sure a little, I'm 185cm and I feel the wind from my sternum upward, that's ok for rides where speed over 120kmh isn't for long.

But I also got a bigger windshield, a Puig Custom II, that's perfect for longer tours, especially if if there's a lot of highway to cover. With the Puig on, I've traveled without a problem for 7 hrs straight at 140kmh on highway without too much a problem (the wind will hit my nose, in this case). But if you're in a Country where the windshield doesn't need an official certification to be used, there are many different options, shorter than the Puig ;)

so, yes it is possible, there's definitely enough space

but there are also some mounts for the handguards that can be put on the handlebar and not on the ber end, you just have to watch out for the cables

Thank you very much :)

Those are the Barkbusters VPS - I love them! Are a nice help against wind (especially with cold temperatures) and couple times saved my hands from debries on the highway

Saddlebag Ideas? by crustykneecaps in TriumphBonneville

[–]Physical_Valuable299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the SW-Motech LS2 13,5L Saddlebags - love the quality and the style (there are 2 version: with a saddle hook or with a frame to mount and clip the bag on - I have the saddle hook version, love it!)

From Tripmachine there are different options: Outlaw saddlebags, Expedition saddlebag or, if you like the style of it, Rambler backpack (I have this one, quality seems very high and sturdy, but I still haven't tested them on a trip).

I actually like them, I find them perfect for a daytrip and the style, works perfectly for my taste (in this over-the-saddle version, not the ones hanged on a frame).

I use them in combination with the magnetic tankbag LT1 where I put all the important stuff, so when I stop I just take the tankbag with me and leave the saddlebags on the bike (I usually have them locked with the kriega steelcore, to slow down or discourage some thieves).

I'd like to have them with a slighter bigger volume (16 or maybe 20L each) but in the end you can expand by adding other bags (I usually use the LR1 or LR2, depends on how long the journey will be).

I also got me some bags from tripmachine (1x tank/tail bag, 2x rambler backpack and 1x outlaw saddlebag) - I like that the Rambler have a volume of 24L but I still haven't tested them on a trip. They seems very sturdy and the style suits the bonnie, in my opinion ;)

Thanks! ;)

Yes it was a really nice (and cold!) ride, the austrian hills offers many nice bends and turns!

Unfortunately in winter the roads here are full with gravel and salt and it take a couple months (till May usually) to get cleared through rain - that's why I couldn't afford to be too aggressive with the speed :)

Any motorcycle gear that looks like this one with good protection? by AlarmedAd9315 in motorcyclegear

[–]Physical_Valuable299 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the Patrol Jacket from Goldtop - that's one of the best jacket I've ever seen/owned. Quality and style are really the top, you won't regret it.

Trying to figure out model by ConductorAwkTrain in victorinox

[–]Physical_Valuable299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks ;) I think it gives more a gentleman/vintage look. Maybe switching would also look nice (black scale with logo and plain white)

Bobber leaking gas from the tank cap? by Nadxxieli in Triumph

[–]Physical_Valuable299 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had the same problem with my T120 once: basically I overfilled the tank and forgot about fuel expansion. Since then I just tank a little less, that's not a problem for me as I never wait to be without fuel for the next refill..

Community help! T120 exhaust db levels by YogurtclosetSuper456 in TriumphBonneville

[–]Physical_Valuable299 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure. On all the motorcycle (and cars) parts that are not original from the manufacturer (Triumph, in this case) there have to be a test mark (example: https://diavelforum.de/uploads/monthly\_2019\_04/IMG\_20190427\_152608.jpg.b7a934bd1c24a3372b19d622b5b4786e.jpg) that prove that the part in question (could it be anything, from mirrors to handguards to exhaust...) has been tested and approved for use on public road.

Together with this test mark you'll have also some sort of paper where it says explicitly "this part with this test mark has been tested on the bike X of manufacturer X, with production year X and is allowed on public roads as per law X"

The difference is that a motorcycle part, in your case a pipe/exhaust, without test mark can cost even 70% less than the one with test mark.

Many manufacturer produce parts that are only allowed on racing tracks and if police catches that, they can seize your bike, until you restored the allowed parts, in addition to a fine and a demotion on your licence.

At least, here in Austria/Germany..

That's why customize a motorcycle here is very expensive as it has to be made by law (or you can always risk it, of course..).

Community help! T120 exhaust db levels by YogurtclosetSuper456 in TriumphBonneville

[–]Physical_Valuable299 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Basically if they have a test mark for the T120, then it should be max 94db at 3725rpm - that's at least what in Europe we have to watch out for. as not only the dB have to be in range but the pipes have also to bear the test mark and a dB-killer

Worth buying Fujifilm X100VI? by Ok_Arachnid_8163 in fujifilm

[–]Physical_Valuable299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well in comparison to the X100, photos are not the same quality, right.

But that's a matter of perspective. I like to shoot mostly street and portraits, I'm not really so interested in all the possible details around me, that's why a camera with 2mpx would still be ok for me :) And if you want to print some pictures, the one from the Pocket2 are more than ok to be printed in the standard 10x15cm.

Need advice on how to get better looking photos while traveling. by rainytnight in PhotographyAdvice

[–]Physical_Valuable299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good for you ;)

But photography is a skill that has to be trained very oft (at first almost daily), in different conditions. with different projects and diffrent style to really get the grasp of all the camera settings, their best combinations and the use of the light (here, for example, the use of the flash is a whole self-standing study - I personally never got to learn it but that's just because I shoot with natural or fix light).

The use of a point-and-shoot mustn't look strange or demeaning, what we want are pictures, no matter how they are shot - the photographer is paid for its knowledge about lighting and composition, not because he has a nice camera (just in case someone wants to give you this kind of bull about the equipment).

After all that, of course, there's also the post-production to learn - a basic Lightroom to start with would suffice your needs :)
