I keep hearing how there are several benefits to abstaining from caffeine that only begin to appear after roughly 90 days. Of course this is only a general rule of thumb, and everyone’s experience is unique.

For context, I was a daily user for a few years who’d consume a single cup per day at least 12 hours before bed. Therefore, I wouldn’t exactly classify myself as a heavy user. Still, I’ve tried quitting on a few occasions, and each time I make it past the 30-day mark, I don’t really notice much of a difference.

During my previous attempt, I ended up resuming coffee and energy drinks, albeit only twice per week. I maintained that cadence for 3-4 months before deciding to try quitting again.

Now I’m over 30 days caffeine free, and I’m wondering once again if I should go back. So I’m curious to hear from those of you who’ve lasted longer: what benefits, if any, did you notice further along in the process as compared to the 30-day milestone?

Hey all, I’m looking to buy my third bike and am extremely torn between these two options. I had my mind made up on the Hornet—that is, until I learned Triumph updated the Trident this year.

For context, the 2026 model produces 17.5% more HP (94), ≈7% more torque (50.2 lb-ft), and a 20% higher redline (12,650 rpm). I believe they also upgraded the suspension.

I owned the ‘25 Trident but sold it last winter, so I’m already a bit biased. Ergonomically, it fit me very well (5’10”, 32” inseam). It felt nimble, the seat wasn’t too high, and I loved the smooth power delivery throughout the rev range. I also much prefer the sport heritage styling over the usual insectoid look of most Japanese bikes. The reason I sold had nothing to do with the bike either—just other life factors at the time.

Then comes the Honda. Every review I’ve seen is raving about it, and its engine specs are similar: 90.5 hp and 55.3 lb-ft of torque. It also seems to be ahead on paper for ergonomics, given it weighs 7 pounds less and the seat height is 0.3 inches shorter (I prefer shorter).

I ride purely for fun, and I usually end up on windy backroads around farms and small towns in the PA area.

Here’s the problem: the Honda is on sale for $6,999 and the Trident is $8,995. If they were priced closer, I’d likely just get another Trident. But with that roughly $2k gap, it’s difficult to justify it given the specs are so close.

Thoughts?
