Have you seen the Royal Enfield Flying Flea yet? I have only seen it through their press releases but I kind of like it.

I think electrification is going to change things eventually. It will take some time for technology and attitudes to catch up but I think it’s coming like it or not.

Good looking bikes. I’m in the USA and will never get a chance at many of the bikes Europeans get. I feel cheated sometimes!

Midwest Ohio and it’s currently raining but forecast to change to snow tonight with up to 1” by Monday morning. This is terrible!

Looks good!

Mine is in a unheated outbuilding winterized and covered. I’m not coordinated or brave enough to take on snow and ice, not to mention below freezing temperatures.

I wish I could, miserable weather here.

I like the concept of electric motorcycles but the range just isn’t there yet and definitely interested in a larger displacement Himi.

I procrastinated just a touch too long. Someone bought it but she warned me that two other people were looking at it. She did steer me to a used Scram in another shop , 7K miles and same price. I might go look at it.

I found a brand new leftover Scram 411 for about half the cost of a new Himalayan 450. I’ll keep my Harley for long trips and the occasional trip to work but a smaller, easier to handle bike sounds good. I ride 35 to 45 minutes each way to work on back country roads, this is farm country.

You mean except for you!

These are the same drivers that throw a tantrum when motorcycles park in spots for cars. I’ve had that happen before.

I was on holiday all week but committed to doing home repairs including gutting a wall, reframing for a bigger exterior entry door and then installing said door (by myself). I’m finally getting done in time to go back to work and the weather is finally turning nice again…. figures! 😭

I hear you! I’m getting ready to start cancer treatment for my 4th cancer. I can’t switch jobs or retire at this point. My wife doesn’t work and is a little younger than me so I have to work to keep her health insurance anyway.

Healthcare is the reason I am still working. Working to pay for healthcare insurance, meds and procedures is insane but who can afford to retire!

I love doing that thru the middle of the downtown areas of these small farming communities. Just closed store fronts early in the morning but you have to watch out for the police. Loud Harley’s usually get a pass around here but sometimes they pull you over just to harass you.

I love the Chicano style, except the fishtail exhaust. See a lot of this style in California and especially in L.A. or the San Francisco Bay Area.

Getting between those buildings on narrow streets definitely amplifies the noise level. I live at the top of a hill and can usually sneak out somewhat quietly at 4:30 a.m. but people still hear me. I spoke with my neighbors and they are cool with it.

I didn’t think they were too loud. My Harley registers over 100 db’s under acceleration and it much louder when it had drag pipes on. I still have the drag pipes but they were way too loud for me, even with a full face helmet I got headaches from the noise.
