Considering the displacement, 58 HP is a lot for back then. The ‘66 VW Beetle had a 1500cc engine that was making only 50 hp. This Honda’s engine is about 1/3 of the capacity and is making 8 hp more.
To be fair, they were conceived of as a solution to a very real problem of wanting to camp safely in areas with lots fauna you wouldn’t want to have easy access to your tent - think overlanding in places like the Serengeti. Wes Siler has made a pretty good (if slightly polemic argument) for why even if you’re actually…
They usually aren’t, they usually don’t, and if you live in a city with narrow streets like I do, it makes what’s already bare minimum stressful about a thousand times worse.

I’m considering getting one of those orange flags on a pole, like…

It’s sort of got this weird, literal translation to it. Don’t get me wrong, I fucking love the game (it’s probably in my top 5 of all time), but both it and Illusion of Gaia could use some polish in terms of the translation.
I wish my life was so awesome that the biggest problem I had was whether or not other people were removing yellow plastic protective bits from their cars.
“Side note: Yes, people are constantly messing with the brakes of these scooters. I regularly find cut cables, and on a few occasions, have started riding only to find out while in motion that the cables have been cut or removed entirely.”
I’m no fan of these scooter services nor many of the operators who are…
