I'm looking for a set of motorcycle saddlebags in the style of vintage horse riding gear.
Example below, but my 'perfect' version is quite a bit darker:
Step into my parlour, said the spider to the fly.
You gotta keep an eye out for the fnords. Also an "I".
And to address the argument on precision versus descending. I disagree. An instrument counting seconds is more precise than a machine counting minutes, hours, days, weeks, months etc... And that holds true through the chain. The precision is in the unit.
We can debate this all day. And I can't honestly say that I would take either side in a purely semantics argument.
But the wording comes directly from RFC3339 which is, to me, the definitive source for useful date representation.
https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3339.txt
5.1. Ordering
If date and time components are ordered from least precise to most precise, then a useful property is achieved. Assuming that the time zones of the dates and times are the same (e.g., all in UTC), expressed using the same string (e.g., all "Z" or all "+00:00"), and all times have the same number of fractional second digits, then the date and time strings may be sorted as strings (e.g., using the strcmp() function in C) and a time-ordered sequence will result.
You misunderstand my comment.
I'm saying the digits in a date should be printed in an order dictated by which units give the most precision.
A year is the least precise, a month is the next least, followed by day, hour, minute, second, millisecond.
I don't know why anyone would ever argue against this. Least precise to most precise. Like every other number we use.
(I don't know if this is true for EVERY numerical measure, but I'm sure someone will let me know of one that doesn't)
He said that it was an appropriate response to drive through protesters on a road because he might be late for work. And then doubled down on that being a normal response to being inconvenienced.
Run of the mill conservative energy.
You are a fucking joke. Full stop.
Protest all you want. I’m not getting late to work because of you
So are you gonna plow through them? Sounds like a sane response to being late for work.
And if you care about the climate I have bad news - we would already be on the same side, but you only care up to the point that it will impact you personally, and that is why you suck.
It's like everyone who was talking about project 2025 was just shouting into the void and nobody heard a goddamn thing. These EOs were written up years ago by that evil fucking conglomerate.

I rode most of my life without a windshield, but when I bought my Indian it had a windshield on it that I swore I would tear off the second I got home.
But then I realized that after an hour plus ride my eyes had not watered once, my ears weren’t having ghost ringing, and my arms were just not tired…
When I picked up this bobber I knew I would want a windshield. But justifying the expense took a bit.
I have been riding it for a month or two without a shield now, and I had to wear earplugs so that the wind noise doesn’t make my tiniitus go nuts. Today was the first real ride with the screen on. And holy cow. I love this bike even more now.
Details: It is a madstad 20inch touring screen made for a triumph speedmaster. I modified it to fit the bobber by drilling some new holes, but otherwise I used the hardware and fasteners that came in the kit.
I can post some pics of the fitment if there is interest.

And last, but never least. My oldest friend - a 1973 Triumph Daytona 500 (bored out to almost 600)

This bike has been built and rebuilt too many times to count. I got it as a box of rusty parts when I was 15 years old, and have been working on it since.
I put thousands of KM on this old girl, but these days she spends most of her time resting. Other than a kick once in a while to hear hear rumble.
Right now I'm in the process of bobbing it with a bolt on kit. It will probably always come back to stock, but I have wanted to see it bobbed for 20+ years and didn't want to cut the frame.
This is the 2017 bobber I had when we lived in Switzerland. And my wife's 50th anniversary Vespa.
When we bought these nobody told me I couldn't bring them home to Canada. So when we came home we had to sell them both. I miss that bike every day. But recently got a new-to-me 2018 that I will mod until it looks just like that one.
Just a simple shot of my 2003 chief vintage. This is the wifemobile. When solo I ride the 2018 triumph bobber from my previous post to this community.
It probably already is. I recall reading somewhere that cops don't even show up on the top 10 most dangerous jobs.
