What’s with the recent meltdowns??

Can you explain to me what the deal is with the whole Gem10 account? I’ve been wondering about that for a while now. I mean I get the what and the how, but I haven’t been able to suss the why of it. Figured it’s none of my business until this apparent meltdown happened.

I couldn’t even speculate. That’s not an evasion, either. No clue.

Some people get a thrill out of seeing men go head to head and beating each other up. Like a boxing match – or a c~~~ fight. They want to rile each other up and like to see broken noses and blood flying everywhere. Taking good shots at their heads. “OOOOoooo what a great left hook. Let’s replay that in slow motion.” I don’t see the fascination in that. I don’t even see competition in that! Knocking another one down (or out) doesn’t make the other one “better”.

I hate it. They were both “better” off before the fight. Training for it and being able to defend yourself (IF under attack) makes you better. But that’s where it stops.

I’ve been off here for a few weeks just doing my thing but Ive wondered the same thing.

I want to shove Ms. Piggy in a woodchipper. No quote. That's all.

I want to reach out to Tower, and his brother. I don’t have any issues with either of you. I understand that life can provide a s~~~ storm on occasion.

Men can have knock down drag out fights with fists or words, but can remain friends. I understand that KeyMaster has to have some framework and boundaries for these forums and if you or I violate the boundaries, we should be limited. I don’t see it as censorship. It just is what is.

I wish every man here success, strength, patience, and longevity going, each, his own way.

I was married to a woman who handled stress by passing it on to everyone else. I divorced her. Good luck Tower/Gem10/Anonymous…I don’t allow that in my life any longer. As we said in the Marine Corps, you carry your OWN pack.

It is amazing what happens when you leave for a couple days and then come back to multiple meltdowns. I haven’t been posting for very long, but have been lurking the site for about the past year. Not sure exactly what is going on, but I hope everything ends up alright. These situations get a bit more confusing when people change their usernames.

What baffles me is why now? Why after three years or so? My first thought seeing Tower p~~~ed off was wondering what the f~~~ p~~~ed him off so badly. I’ve been scrolling back through the forums, but I can’t find it. Just all of a sudden it’s all “f~~~ you whoever” and talk about backstabbings with rusty knives and vague metaphor and no clue where it’s all coming from.

It’s none of my business, but I hope everything is all right in his personal life. Because this is beginning to seem like something has happened in his real life and it’s leaking out into the forums.

So, you gonna get the nineT? Your spine will thank you after the first thousand mile ride.

That’s very decent of you. But I would say “F~~~! YOU!” and force you to sit on my shoulders.

Neither of us are going down. How you do like that.

Copy that. Right back at you.

Damn you. Stop teasing. But please feel free to talk me out of it.

Between us, a TRIUMPH Thruxton is the same kind of machine. The BMW Nine-T is uncomforable to sit on (in the crotch). The THRUXTON is a much better fit. A glove.

Both have the rounded faring / cafe racer / Norton styling.
I’m totally stuck on it.

It’s a beauty. But Im really “just looking”.

Triumph.The bike should feel comfortable under you.
The motor looks like my old Bonny. You cant beat perfection!

Reality becomes too overwhelming for some individuals. Us MGTOWs, we’re always seen as ‘complaining’ about women and the whole system, when truth be told we simply do nothing but discuss what’s going on around us is all. Many cannot stand that we say how it is in this world with zero shame.

That’s why you swap out the seat. First thing. On any bike.

Right up until some soccer mom in a minivan pulls out in front of you and you have to brake hard, crunching your meat and two veg right into that tank. Trust me, no matter what you get, you really want to get a custom seat for it if you’re going to be doing any hard riding.

I’ve also found the vertical twins like the Triumphs can jelly your testicles after a few hours no matter what seat you have, especially in a cafe configuration. They’re not as bad as the vertical singles and some V-twins, but nothing is as smooth as a boxer, at least in my experience. Of course if you’re only using it for commuting or around town that’s not such an issue. And the Triumphs run about half to two thirds what BMW wants for an equivalent bike.

Of course there’s also the Enfield Continental, which runs about half of what Triumph wants. You can get two for the price of one Thruxton. And for the price of a BMW they’ll probably give you the whole factory.

Have you seen the nineT super bobber? IMO nothing modern says MGHOW (no free rides) like that bike. I wish I could find a picture to post.

So you say. For now. But soon you will join the collective, and then all will be well.

My old Trumpet (Triumph) Vibrates like a jack hammer.
Whats left of the origanal seat. Basicly I ride my ass on the frame. There real f~~~ing bikes.

And that is a traditional way to customize a seat. Let the frame mold itself to your bones over time. Or, more likely, vice versa.

Check out my avatar.

I’ve owned and ridden (and rebuilt – it’s all part of it) my share of Triumphs. One of my current projects is a trashed bonnie I’ve got scattered around my garage. They’re great for riding hard and fast, but a little wearing for long distance or, especially, being stuck in f~~~ing commuter gridlock in a back assward state that doesn’t allow filtering.

And that’s why I think it’s necessary to warn new riders about what they’re getting into with the vertical twins. The last thing I want is for someone to get a bad case of numb nuts and decide riding isn’t for them.

The BMW had me leaning way forward like “hugging a missile”.
The Thruxton was like sitting on top of it properly. Even with the standard seat.

I went with a buddy and he said same. I’m biased toward Ducati (sport classic). But Triumph was the clear winner out of the NINE-T Racer and the Thruxton for comfort.

When I got my license, my Mom said “just stick it in a drawer and forget about it.”. She would have a meltdown of her own.
