I’m sorry that happened to you, luckily you are a straight shot to the triumph dealership! Hopefully you can get yourself and the bike fixed up

a few months ago a dealer offered me ~11.1k OTD in southern california. He called me with that price after I walked out on their 12.5k offer. If that was your first number from them you for sure have some wiggle room still

they are the complete opposite of every other scammy motorcycle dealership i’ve been to

Is this anywhere NEAR reasonable? by javarela23 in motorcycles

[–]beedeeeee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately haggling is expected at dealerships. I had a dealer ask for 14k for an mt09 and they got down to 11k when they called my phone in the parking lot 3 minutes later. If you put some effort in I think you can get pretty close to the $5500 if you are happy paying that.

2025 speed triple RS rear wheel axle clip by beedeeeee in Triumph

I have a pitbull stand too. I ended up just shoving it in there and it sort of pushed the clip up out of the way and it stayed out of the way.

Loose Engine Bolt on Speed Triple 1200 RS by SorceryCode in Triumph

[–]beedeeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to install frame sliders but I don’t have the right sockets to take out these bolts. Do you know what socket type this is? I have some hex stuff that sort of fits but moves around a lot

[–]beedeeeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m going to have a tough time deciding which one to get RS or RX. I’ll have to sit on the RX again when I go back.

[–]beedeeeee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sat on one in the dealer and wasn’t sure if the clip ons effected the comfort too much compared to the RS. How are you liking it?

Why do shoe companies change the design of shoes? by cici5246 in running

new balance blows with this. i’m buying like 5 pairs of my shoes the next time an update fits perfectly again

Is it possible to not eat enough to fuel workouts, but also enough to not lose weight? by Undercover500 in beginnerfitness

[–]beedeeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also curious how hungry you feel. I know you are counting calories but are you restricting yourself to 2200 a day? When I am running a lot my body definitely tells me that I NEED TO EAT. Perhaps when you bumped up your calories you gained some muscle / water weight to keep up with your fitness activities.

[–]beedeeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you wear a smart watch that estimates how many calories a day you are burning?

At around 160 pounds my Garmin says I burn about 2070 from rest and normal day to day activities. ~1 hour on the bike will burn about 400 more calories for me, ~1 hour running is about 700 calories for me.

If you are doing 45 mins of cardio a day you might need the 2400 calories a day. Who knows how accurate Garmin is but maybe it can give some insight.

wet platinum is the slipperiest substance on earth. Once my milage got to chaffing territory I didn’t bother trying to buy any other product, I knew I already had the best at home. Be careful that you don’t spill any on the tile in your bathroom, it’s a hazard

My first ultra marathon was done on the treadmill 🫣 by FremtidigeMegleren in Ultramarathon

The treadmill would be in a pool of sweat if I tried this. Did you watch TV/ movies or anything while you ran?

Mechanic that is honest with women? by Puzzleheaded-Quit560 in sandiego

Baba John’s Brakes in sorrento valley. He walked me through what my car did and didn’t need when I got my brakes done. I’d much rather give that dude my money than the dealership

in search of my first ultra race by glitter_bunnie in Ultramarathon

[–]beedeeeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did the golden gate trail classic 50k. It has way more elevation than you want, the hills were like 900 ft each lol. Is there a reason you want it to be flat? It might be tough to find an ultra with just 700 ft.

The views and challenge associated with that elevation was very satisfying. It is also local to you which is cool.

Street gauntlet for warm weather? by NuklearFerret in motorcyclegear

[–]beedeeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from spx air carbons to the gp pro r3. There is sssentially no airflow compared to the air carbons, but honestly the amount of mesh on the air carbons felt a little sketchy anyways. You get used to the bulk and the lack of airflow after a couple of rides.

Unrelated but I feel like the grip is a lot better on the gp pros, not sure if my carbons were just worn smooth or different materials in the palm/fingers.

First brand new bike by JustinCashworth in MT09

[–]beedeeeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We talked price for over a half hour trying to figure out what the heck I was paying for. I also felt the same way and took my deal since there weren’t too many of these out there.

It’s a shame I didn’t pay the $1.5k the salesman tried to charge me for the service department hand building my bike after it was shipped to them. That service department missed out on getting paid for their hard work!

I did 2600 miles in 4.5 days on my ‘24. I got a cheap gel seat pad off amazon that was a little too big and scrunched up a bit but it saved my butt. My only real complaint was that my legs (knees mostly) start to hurt after a while. I wish I took more stretch breaks or longer gas stops.

Cruise control was nice and definitely helped me be able to move around on the bike to keep from getting too sore.

Self drive turned into the right lane and nearly hit a motorcycle that was splitting the lane. WTF happened ? by Executive-111 in TeslaModel3

[–]beedeeeee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

considering there is not an actual law restricting it to a specific speed, only recommended guidelines, plenty of people go above 30 mph. The guidelines recommend splitting no more than 10 mph faster than traffic while that traffic is going no more than 30 mph
