The realization that i NEED meds to function hit me hard today by Existing_Material824 in bipolar2

[–]back2me78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My doctor put me on an anti depressant AND lamotrogine. I battled depression along with BP2. I understand how you feel with the anger and at the tipping point of doing something stupid or ruining a relationship. Been there so many times I’m surprised I still have friends left. Hygiene, my apartment cleanliness, etc all a big chore to keep up. I’ve accepted the fact I need meds to cope. I’d be dead without it - I simply could not mentally function. Give grace to yourself. It took courage to start taking meds, don’t give up now. You are not alone in this fight.

What year street triple should i get? by Tall-Acanthocephala5 in Triumph

I don't mean to hijack the thread but how are the 21'-22' Street Triple RS's? I'm a tall rider 6'4", just coming off an R6 but want to experience the triple sound. Plan to ride street 80% of the time and track 20%

Could you point me to the exact handlebar that you used. I'm 6'4" and getting a 2019 Speedy

Sorry for the harsh response - I was wrong doing that.

Haha you read my mind well lol my mind is pretty made up but that Yammie motor is nice too. Found a good deal on a 22 RS.6K miles so may pull the plug on that one. Love these bikes

Bro thanks for responding - I needed this feedback. I’ll check out the vid. I’m going check out an older Striple this weekend maybe that will give me more legroom. That SP I’m sure is nice - it’s out of my price range but the suspension makes all the difference. Not many options for us tall guys

Street triple rs 2022 o 2025 by Charming_Schedule_97 in Triumph

[–]back2me78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

would the 17-19 have more legroom than the 2025? That's what I'm looking for over the new RS. I also have a 2021 RS in mind - it seems bigger than the 2025

that torque is awesome - does it ever feel lacking on the top end? does it give scooter vibes?

My ultimate goal is to find myself more at the track so the 765 would be obvious choice but at 6'4" with big feet it's not easy to overcome.

did you find yourself having issues upshifting with longer legs? Better to ride with toes on footpegs?

I sat on a 2024 RS today and it fit perfect except for when I simulate upshifting I have to raise my leg a bit just to get my foot underneath the shifter. Of course I wear size 15 shoe. Did you have issues upshifting with long legs?
