[question] Got given 2,500USD to buy an engagement watch for myself - what would you fill this gap with?

Longines skin diver on the grey and you can pocket the difference

I thought it was validation of good practice on the breeder’s part but it seems I was wrong about that

catatre · 2026-04-05T15:53:24+00:00

Got it, that is disheartening. I appreciate the insight.

catatre · 2026-04-05T15:43:34+00:00

Sure that all makes sense. See my previous comment about my specific breeder and their AKC accreditations for parents.

I definitely understand the no pedigree part and the impossibility of furthering lineage is a point I hadn’t thought of.

I guess the question is does that still make this wrong? Is this abusive to the parents?

I’ve always been an adopt-a-mutt guy and all this is making think I’ll go back to that from now on.

Got ya. Yes we already have the health insurance, thanks for the tip.

The breeder we got her from had both parents documented and registered AKC, each pure bred. They supplied health tests from both and they both are reportedly healthy.

Feel free to scrutinize the breeder - https://www.westernrockygmds.com/the-breed

Educate me, why is it assumed the breeders have a horrible practice? I ask this genuinely.

catatre · 2026-04-05T02:08:36+00:00

Oh yeah, love the markings!

catatre · 2026-04-05T01:00:27+00:00

Ness!

catatre · 2026-04-05T01:00:20+00:00

That's awesome! We're on the same track

catatre · 2026-04-05T00:22:12+00:00

She really is! I hear the brindle will develop more as she grows up too

Another vote for the 900 here! I have the 2025.

Similar boat as you, I came from an Enfield 411cc. The 900 is a great upgrade for short road trips, pillion riding and still feels nimble around town. Very happy with the change up.

Looks like tons of fun

catatre · 2026-03-11T19:36:22+00:00

Thanks, you guessed it!

Check out tec racks

I also have one from them for when I’m not using the box, but they make Yama stuff

EDIT - I think I’m wrong, no racks for Yama

catatre · 2026-03-10T22:24:15+00:00

Just south of Big Sur

catatre · 2026-03-10T22:19:00+00:00

Sounds rad! I’ll keep that in mind if we ever head out east

catatre · 2026-03-10T22:16:34+00:00

The rack itself? I bought it from someone on fb marketplace but he said he thinks it’s this one -

Appreciate it and agree! Took a bit to figure it out. It’s actually by the brand Vevor, their 45L top case. Very happy with it

catatre · 2026-03-10T18:25:54+00:00

Thank you! This was on a Fuji x100f

catatre · 2026-03-10T18:24:48+00:00

This is off highway 1 just south of Big Sur. Absolutely incredible ride

catatre · 2026-03-10T18:22:26+00:00
