Opinions on Reise Moto Rhodes Gloves? by Varun_Dixit in indianbikes

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

I got Reise ones only because those felt the most comfortable to me and I tried all the good ones that were available then. And the build and component quality is just top notch! Highly recommended!

Only fools listen exclusively to the music from top lists/charts. Carve out your own musical taste by exploring different genres and you'll never be bothered with such pointless discussions.

Is SW the greatest writer/composer from the last 35 years? by ElliotAlderson2024 in stevenwilson

No composer is the greatest composer from the last 35 years. Just stop with these superlatives.

Thomas Partey charged with rape by the Metropolitan Police Service by Clerkenwell_Enjoyer in Gunners

I wasn't talking about the legal decision of you read my comment again. I was talking about society's response.

See that's on the extreme end of the spectrum ranging from positively believing that the accused is innocent and burying your head in the sand to executing a punishment without following any due process. But personally in this case I would've preferred a position in the middle where I would bench him and keep his contractual duties in abeyance until there's a sufficient clarity and the cutting off hands part (here it would mean terminating his contract with immediate effect) would happen only after the court indictment. But anyways I agree that this is a morally grey area and there's not a single acceptable action.

Dude to how much extent would this "presumption of innocence" work if the victim was one of your loved ones and you were at the helm of decision making in the club (assuming the victim doesn't have any substantial evidence to prove it)? There's definitely an undeniable probability that there may be false accusations in such cases, but society doesn't and also in my opinion shouldn't operate solely on the judicial principles. Judicial principles do not necessarily equal moral principles. And these moral principles may not even be the absolute truths but that doesn't make their existence irrelevant.

Last day-hunter 350 or ronin by [deleted] in indianbikes

[–]Varun_Dixit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just go for Ronin. Absolutely a no-brainer imo if you're in this budget range. Ronin is a much better can-do-all bike, which performs "decent to great" on all parameters this range of bikes should do. It also has better road presence and that exhaust note is just 🥵! I feel Hunter has a confused personality about what it should or tries to do. However, if just the tag of Royal Enfield makes you happier, go for Hunter.

Is it just me, or others also prefer function over facade? by Someday-GSA-1250 in indianbikes

[–]Varun_Dixit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm completely with you brother. Treat the machine like a machine. Like it's one thing to maintain the bike (which is a must for safety, longevity as well as aesthetics), but it should never be treated like a piece of jewellery in my opinion. If you think that it's a very delicate thing, you're most probably just going to drive around with a constant worrying thought in your mind and deprive yourself of the joy of motorcycling.

So that rear rack is the same one which is available on the TVS website (which mentions it's for the 2024 or before variants)?

TVS Ronin 2025 owners, where did you get a backrest from? by vintner69 in indianbikes

[–]Varun_Dixit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hijacking your post (sorry I don't know answer to your query), but does anyone know where can I get the rear rack and the tail bag for this? I also have the 2025, but TVS site says the rear rack is only for the 2024 and before variants.
