There is no shame in supplementing with Huel, YFood or alike, even muti vitami is fine. I'm also a fan of a refreshing alcoholfree beer!
Lots of good advice here. I like frozen meals or even veggies to keep the routine on some of these days. They need to be heated in a pan opposed to frozen pizza which u just shove into the oven.
I can also recommend a simple rice cooker which u can set and forget, as it switches into warm holding mode when it's done w cooking the rice.
Hey, thanks for getting into the question and I hope your arm healed up alright.
Camera suggestion is a good one! I'm using a dashcam in the car, so why not do the same on a motor scooter!?
Decided to go for some test rides at some dealership, when I have the time. Good luck too and be safe.
Thanks for the input and word of caution. Definitely looking to test drive a couple models to get a good feel and more data before going for it. Likewise I'm looking at used car deals and possibly checking some out. But hey, sounds like the touring suit was a worthwhile purchase!
Because I've got the licence and can afford the fun. You're right it's really a lot but added 1000-1500 euros for extra gear, top case, high windscreen, heated handles, alarm system, cover for the winter, taxes and insurance for the first year. Cycling is a lot of fun too.
Thank you for your input, better safe than sorry when it goes for safety gear. I've got a set from driving school but definitely looking to upgrade to an integral helmet for example.
Thanks for your input, perhaps the weather is just something I need to experience for myself. After all I’ve went cycling to work and back at 0 degrees before. I’ve got one set, bought for driving school but some additions like integral helmet instead of jet and rain gear would be great. What machine are you driving?
Hey, your detailed reply with experiences is much appreciated!
As for performance, I'm really just looking for commuting through the city. Usually 66% in 20 and 30 mph zones and 33% on country roads and motorways - 50 and 60 mph zones. Also, I just checked out the Aprilia SR GT 125 ccm and 200 ccm online, looks great imo.
As for practicality, the trunk space as well as top case (30-40l with max 10kg weight) should be plenty for grocery shopping for 1-2 people, a few times a week, as seen here on YT (in german).
As for weather, maybe it's just something I need to experience for myself. After all I've went cycling to work at 30 F before... As for safety gear and I've got one set, which I bought for driving school. Including a "urban safety" cargo pants with knee and hip protectors and a jet helmet. But yes, I'll have to factor in at least 500 Euro for a integral helmet and additional pieces for safety, against the rain and the cold.
As for "Everyone in cars is trying to kill you", yes! That's the most important piece to factor in. For that I'm loving the inspiration with the Phalanx CWIS system. A tad bit expensive but maybe I can go for some short range manual system.
Thanks for your question. A used model with below 10-15k km chould be fine, what do you think? Could take a look if I find anything. Could make it easier to switch away again, if I don't like riding...
Also, it's seems like it's not extremely uncommon here in the city from what I see and hear but usually as a 2nd or 3rd vehicle. I myself know a co-worker with a brand new Yamaha NMAX 125 and one with a 2022 model or so.
Which country/ area are you from if u don't mind me asking?
Sorry to hear that this is why you got out. Sounds like you faced seriously tough struggles with other drivers bullying and being assholes. That sucks. Will concider, as health is the most valuable.
Thank you for your input. Yes, safety is another valid concern. That's another reason why I wouldn't go for a 50 ccm ever. Here they are turned down to drive 45 km/h MAX. You can't go drive any faster, even when the motor could. This makes you a traffic obstruction in 50 km/h zones for some of these drivers. Quite a few modify their 50 ccms to go faster, so the police likes to watch carefully and makes traffic stops to weed these out.
