Scooters are so much fun, I took a friend’s Kymko 125 to the garage for him a little while back (about 40 mins ride) and it was both terrifying and fun.

When I’m a little old lady I look forward to having one for adventuring on :-)

The old Honda Scoopys are very well regarded here in Spain. Don’t see so many new ones because the cheaper brands are kicking Honda with similar reliability.

You should come and visit Spain, much more high speed rail and a similar quantity of seafood ;-)

Ah ok, no I only ride Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, or Indian motorcycles, none of that silly German or Italian stuff!

(never has neutral problems with any of them)

Good choice, I’ve had a 2014 ER6f for about 6 years now and apart from the fit and finish being a bit crap it’s been a fab bike … lots more fun than the faster bikes I had before and if you have good form it can go well on the track too (the frame geometry really responds to rider weight movement). Also the ER6n was used by one of the former European Moto Gymkhana champions, too :-)

Protip: if there’s no record of the forks being rebuilt it’s a worthwhile thing to have done on any bike that’s over 10 years old!

Good brake pads, braided lines, and aftermarket handlebars all made noticeable improvements for me, too.

Wut?

I can find neutral just as easily on my ER6f as any other Japanese bike I’ve owned

Wow, and I thought my car insurance of €170 was expensive this year!

Parents literally walked in on her mid-murder, but yeah maybe she was just pretending to kill it? For a joke?

Lidl screwdriver = adequate for occasional DIY, 3 Stars

Bosch screwdriver = can be used as a substitute chisel or crowbar every day for a lifetime, 5 stars

Thanks to the Internet Archive I played the original Streetfighter 2 and Outrun arcade games, I’m sure Gauntlet and Bubble Bobble are on there too ;-)

Hows the humidity when it gets that hot?

I’ve done low humidity 45° days/38° nights and it was pretty toasty, but 35° with high humidity kicks my arse. The last couple of weeks here in Catalunya we’ve had 30-35° with high humidity and I’m just exhausted.
