I also have a 1200GS with Jesse Bags. They don’t look great but they’re tough.

I share my location with my wife. I can see what time she’ll be home when she’s leaving work. She gets to see which ditch I crashed my motorcycle into.

I own basically the cheapest mechanical chronograph watch in existence and I love it. For 250 bucks you can get a “Seagull 1963” watch from China on Amazon.

It’s actually a really nice looking watch with a glass case back so you can see all the gears in the movement. It was designed by the Swiss company Venus a long time ago and they sold it to a Chinese company at some point where it got copied by a bunch of other Chinese companies.

You might find it under a different brand name. Mine is the “Seakoss” variant. They come in a bunch of different styles and sizes so pick whichever you prefer.

Sure maybe it’s not great to be supporting China but so much stuff we buy comes from China anyway so I don’t think about it too much.

I wanted a mechanical watch so I could admire the gears but I wasn’t about to drop many thousands of dollars on one so this thing fits the bill.

I worked for the US division of a German company and found that the culture even for the US workers was very respectful of time off and appropriate working hours. I hated the job because I was customer facing and our customers were typically large US companies, but the German company was a great company to work for.

Commenting here to remind myself to listen to this as soon as I have access to Spotify.

Roll charts are very similar to this and still get used today for some motorcycle rallies.

I like bikes that can do street and dirt so my style is dual sport and ADV. I can’t be trusted with sport bikes because my wrist has a mind of its own and I’ll probably end up dead. Cruisers are comfortable and great on the highway but they don’t excite me in the twisties and they typically don’t do dirt very well.

Ive ridden a few cruisers (VTX 1300 and 1800, Street Glide, and a Sportster) and they were great bikes (Well not the Sportster) but they didn’t excite me in the way that other bikes do.

Two wheels is two wheels so as long as you enjoy it I’m happy for you!

Afraid.org is what I’ve been using ever since dyndns started charging big prices for what used to be free.

It’s not my style but if you enjoy it that’s all that matters!

Even with a subscription cost for the API, users still won’t be getting any NSFW posts. That includes porn obviously but there was also tons of non-porn NSFW content in subs like /r/drugs, /r/sex, etc.

Yeah I’m totally back to normal after the visuals fade.

I love Joe Rogan as an MMA announcer, as a stand up comedian, and as a cast member on News Radio but as a science denier he’s not very much fun.

This has been my experience as well. They’re annoying but not painful at all.

I run a plex server because I don’t want to subscribe to 15 different services with 15 different shitty UIs just to watch TV. FF and rewind always works the same on Plex and the pause button is always in the same spot.

Every time I open Netflix or Hulu or Prime I am infuriated that it doesn’t immediately take me to the last show I was watching.

Also I like to watch shows as they originally aired, not with missing episodes that Hulu pulled to keep advertisers happy (It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia and Community come to mind).

The best accessory that I can recommend is a top case. I know they look super dorky but they are by far the most handy way to carry some extra shit while you’re out riding. I had a Givi on my GS that could hold a 30 pack of beer which was very handy.

My wife repurposed a knock-off Pelican from Harbor Freight as a top case for her Honda 300L. I mooch storage space in her top case all the time because my KTM 500 has no structure to support a top case.

Lol I’m gonna share your comment with my wife. She thinks I’m a pervert but now I have proof that it could be worse!

Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I seem to remember searching for communities from kbin doesn’t work if you use the exclamation point.

I like porn so I browsed the front page of lemmynsfw.com. Holy shit it’s like 50% hentai and other anime porn. I tried blocking the cartoon porn communities so I could browse all without losing my boner but there are so many of them and they keep making new ones!

I would do unspeakable things for more stories set in the Expanse universe. The TV series should at least get another season or two in order to catch up to the last two books and I think it would be great if the authors/showrunners could explore some of the side plots more fully.

Here’s a screen grab of The World’s Strongest Man Eddie Hall wearing rainbow suspenders in a video I saw yesterday.
