I first used that term to describe the "attributes" that attracted Joan when we were teenagers (and horrified her parents): long hair, played in a band, and rode a motorcycle. ;-)
It was a goal that was celebrated, but seldom accomplished, when driving the whale watch boats: 3 different species of whales in one trip. Once or twice a season, if I was lucky.
Today, another type of trifecta: a different bike outing on 3 consecutive mornings. Today, I took Joan's Xmax out. The three bikes we have are very different; on both of mine, I feel like I'm riding in the bike... probably because they both have Corbin seats, which are scooped to give you more support on the backs of your thighs. On Joan's bike, it feels like I am riding on the bike - I still taller, giving it a higher center of gravity. One isn't necessarily better than the other, just different. Cruiser bikes tend to have that "sit in" feeling, and sport bikes are more "sit on." Just an observation.
The Xmax has more power and grunt than my Burgman; less than the CTX. So, they each provide a different riding experience. The Xmax is the sportiest of the three.

Before getting out on the bike, Murphy and I had some morning-time together outside. This is his "S-up?" (What's up?) look...
I think we all slept good last night. I didn't hear another intense round of fireworks at midnight. Walking the yard this morning, I found one cardboard tube - the remnants of one of the aerial displays. I was surprised that there was only one, considering how many went off so close.
