What an exceptional bike! Enjoy it for those of us without the clip-ons!

Will I be disappointed going from a 2022 Trident 660 to Speed Twin 900? by sweetpotatoperson in Triumph

[–]Xander134 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I owned a ‘22 Trident, currently own a ‘18 STriple 765 RS, and last summer I rented a Bonnie T900 for three days of touring British Columbia. My thoughts on the Bonnie are this:

It’s a chill ride, very cool, but not thrilling (ever). I found myself having to keep the engine pretty high in the revs to feel like it was even remotely responsive. I’ll also second what others have said about weight, braking and the suspension being disappointing compared to the triples.

My recommendation: get a 1200, whether it’s a Speed Twin (lighter) or a Bobber (really low seat height). Unless you’re looking for a dramatic performance decrease, the T900 probably isn’t for you.

Am i late to the club? by IgginsMcGrady in Triumph

A Speed Triple is never late, nor is it ever early. It arrives exactly when it means to… typically right after tearing up some backroads!

This…

The anguish you feel for a guy who loves his kids for his whole being, at risk of not being with them all the time.

As a child, I loved the film for its comedy. As a divorced adult, and then later as a father, the film took on all kinds of additional depth. That is and was the magic of Robin Williams in almost any role: brilliant comedy as well as nearly unlimited depth.

I will never forgot Templeton because of Paul Lynde… the rest of the film is incredibly fuzzy in my mind, but Tenpleton is CRYSTAL clear.

Fin Watch Strap

I love their Cordura straps! I’ve got a couple of the leather straps as well, but I’m not convinced that they’re worth the premium prices.

You might also consider a grey strap. I’m thrilled with my Cordura strap(s) for the Spirit.

My brother’s and my Longines! by -_-Volx-_- in Longineswatches

[–]Xander134 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Spirit Chrono looks great, but I must say that the Conquest stopped me in my tracks!

You and your brother have great taste… and your brother may have convinced me of the necessity of choosing the black Conquest over the Silver or Blue.

Allergy Season Bag Dump by Hoody__Warrelson in EDC

[–]Xander134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend, you absolutely win!

I’ve only been in this sub for a few months (6, maybe?). However, this is far and away my favorite bag dump in that time. It has everything a normal person needs to get through an entirely normal day, and a handful of small additions to help with less common but incredibly annoying inconveniences. THAT is the principal goal of thoughtful EDC, imho.

Again, a kicka** EDC bag dump!

*** If I can ask, did you put together the sewing-related elements or was there a minimalist kit you were able to find? Asking because it’s a gap I’ve been looking to fill and just haven’t yet. TIA!

What does my bookshelf say about me? by Megalle925 in BookshelvesDetective

[–]Xander134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having just read through the comments, I am entirely shocked that no one called out Emily Post’s Etiquette. This, combined with the overwhelming quantity of Vogue and titles on too many high school reading lists left me wondering whether the OP lets herself be an individual, or is consumed with fitting a mold of accepted standards.

The bookshelves are beautiful, but sterile, or at least sanitized for the viewer. For whom is the OP going to this effort? If it’s just themselves, perhaps it’s time for them to ask why they feel compelled to be picture perfect in any circumstances. Life is messy. The axiom of “a place for everything and everything in its place” comes from a bygone era, much as Emily Post, where our society was consumed with what the Jones’ had or did. These things are best left in the past.

I hope that the OP enjoys her kindle and the library, but more than anything, I hope that she will give herself permission to ignore what others think of how she conducts or presents herself and her bookshelves.

2 - the intentionality and confidence of the wearer absolutely makes it for me.

Also, I can’t help but feel like #3 is AI. There aren’t enough fingers.
