I would definitely get the naked bike. It will be a lot more comfortable for commuting and a lot easier to handle and learn on sitting more upright in a relaxed position.
They need it to finalize turning ICE into the Gestapo so they can start disappearing anyone of any color who doesn’t bow to The Fuhrer.
As a musician I had to pull up Alice Coltrane’s Universal Consciousness and in my opinion (which does not matter) it’s pure cacophony. Every member of the band is in a disharmonic key and the result is painful to listen to. What really hurts is that if you isolate each instrument mentally, they have some talent; but together it literally hurts to listen to… some forms of Jazz I just don’t get. But to each their own 👍
Positive Grid Spark. The best home amp hands down. Any amp or guitar sound you can imagine, it can emulate and there’s a huge community creating free to download patches for it. Plus you can control it through your phone and use it as a recording interface. The make several models, I believe the smallest fits your budget, but save up just a bit more and get the original Spark, it’s a touch cheaper than the Spark 2 and still has amazing sound.

“cynically used to disadvantage American workers' competitiveness in favor of mass-importing the third world.” Seems to me Socialists aren’t the ones who have been exporting American jobs to “third world countries”… seems like more of a Republican, Billionaire Epstein class kind of thing. Perhaps we need to review who really needs to be denaturalized and deported.
GOTOH make great tuning pegs and while you’re at it you can get locking tuners that make string changes a breeze. Plus they have a lot of options for color combos.
They do actually! For a 4/4 beat (4 beats per measure and the quarter note gets the beat, meaning 4 quarter notes per measure), they will move the baton straight down for 1 (the “down beat”), left (usually) for 2, right for 3, and up for 4. Different time signatures will have more or less movements, such as 3/4 time (3 beats per measure) will be down (1), left (2), and up (3).
Further, there are other movements like a wide slash left to right is a stop motion for everyone to instantly stop playing.
Yep, just now seeing this, but still here. Thanks to you both for your input. It’s greatly appreciated!
That’s awesome! You’re definitely underselling your abilities. Thanks!!
So I went to Miata’s at the Gap, running the Tail of the Dragon along with a couple thousand other Miata’s and had a blast. But when I got the pics from Killboy, the color of my car is just washed out and wrong. It really bugs me because the Soul Red Crstyaline is such a pretty color. Here’s what the color should actually look like:
Is there a way in Affinity Photo to fix this? I’m on iPad Pro btw.
I had a Miata for about a month back in 1996 and have ached for one ever since. My buddy got tired of hearing me say I was going to get one (he’s been hearing it for about the last 10 years) and suggested yesterday that we go down and just check them out… I came home with a 2025 GT and haven’t stopped smiling!
Over just under 3 weeks (June 21st to July 11th) I travelled from Chattanooga, TN to Metropolis IL, Branson MO, Dodge City KS, Colorado Springs CO, Winter Park CO, back to Colorado Springs (my buddy had a short out-patient surgery to reattach his bicep), on to Roswell NM, Blanchard OK, Camden AR, and finally back to Chattanooga. I spent several days at my friends houses in Colorado, and 2 nights in Metropolis, Branson, Dodge City, and Blanchard so I had a day to play tourist and spend some time with my family in Branson and Blanchard. I probably averaged about 350 miles per day on my riding days, but did pull close to 500 twice. While my bike is definitely not a touring machine (more like a cafe racer), by standing on the pegs and making frequent stops, along with an unrecommended daily dosage of Ibuprofen, I made it and had a blast doing so; even if my butt complained.
The title photo was taken by my Nephew in Oklahoma (and yes, it has inspired a gym membership and diet).

I wanted to post my baby and introduce myself. She’s a 2023 Triumph Speed Twin 1200 and I’m absolutely loving her. The pic is from my trip to the Cherohala Skyway Loop and the Tail of the Dragon.
Heresy! Rush is one of the greatest bands of all time.
