I think my reading comprehension is shot. I'm none the wiser as to what happened.
Is it really an adventure bike if its wheels never see dirt?

I'm keeping you in suspense...

I have this odd thing that has happened before where private deals fall through, so I'm waiting until I get the bike here...

Mate if you ever need help choosing something more substantial, please ask one of other guys here first! :ImaPoser

Hahahaha, short story long, read above.

Long story short, I rode a lot of new motorcycles to determine which one I thought was best. I had a blast. In the end I bought a used bike. ;)

At some point I did get attracted by the Honda CT 125 Hunter Cub!  :bad  Then I was spotted next to an RE Himalayan...


But no.


Oh, and a friend has a Dnepr sidecar. Awesome bike, but doesn't fit through the garage door...  :mut

Ah, I did try the Livewire, but at € 34,000 it just didn't make sense to me. Especially if you can get a Zero SR/S for 25. However, the range is not at the point where I want it. If I can do a round trip to Rotterdam on it (200km mostly highway), then I am in. :)

You kept that quiet  :augie I think you need to give up your day job and start writing for a Bike Mag  :mut
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

Hahahaha, I didn't ride it in this series, but...



And I doubt writing for a bike mag pays as well as I enjoy now. ;)
