That’s a load of crap. I took an 850 mile trip this weekend. The first stop was a restroom break that my wife said she would have asked for had we not been stopping. We literally didn’t stay there a moment longer than we had to. The next stop was for lunch, and the car charged exactly as much as it could while we ate.…
Can’t speak for everyone but the reason why I put down money for a reservation spot is because I wont ever have to go to a gas station again since I just charge at home. Over the air updates, great acceleration and good environmental impact. Oh and the car looks nice as well.
I hear that. Purchased a ‘75 cb 125s a couple of years back, with 2800 miles on the clock. Near mint, super cheap, and a ton of fun to ride. I’m just starting to pine for a bigger/faster bike, but I’d have a hard time letting go of my cb. One spark plug, one quart of oil, and a couple of gallons of gas are all it…
I did none of that. I wanted a brand new 2001 Suzuki GSX-R 750, but my dad would not put his name on the insurance, and I could not swing it alone. So, I bought a brand new Honda Shadow ACE 750 - insurance was super cheap.
My recommendation is to buy an ancient two-stroke that hasn’t run in 20 years and spend a ton of time restoring it and getting it to run great. Then, forget to make sure your throttle cable isn’t binding on anything and eat it on your first left turn. It’s a great way to bond with your motorcycle and the ground.
For the novice rider (especially if they have their heart set on a sport bike), Honda’s little CBR 125 is a surprising joy to ride. It weighs practically nothing, has an engine that happily runs up to its 10K redline, and a top speed that is decent, but not ridiculous.
Obviously 959 truther is right and it is the more laxed German government policies of the 2000's that lead to Paul Walker’s death.

Shit, I have messed up the time-space continuum.
