You have probably learned something.. and even about carburators.
In any way you are a big guy/heavy weigt, it seldome compromise the top speed, it only take more time.
Its come to the purpose of owning a bike and in with conditions one like to ride.
In any way.. Im retired, moste of my friends too.. and some have Harleys, others got Ducatis or Triumph and one have a Suzuki GSX 1400.. he want a muscel bike.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_GSX1400Its still this.. whats the purpose of riding a bike?
And I can put up some sugestions.. its a nice thing to do, ( you have alredy experianced this), comuting in good wheather, (or bad) riding whit friends.. or to make new friends that altso like to go biking.
To that, biking is a kind of cultural thing altso.. style, ( wona look like a "real biker"), purpose, your friends goes long trips on heavy cruisers, or juste shows up and "shows of" to make everone other to be amased.. and there are more to that!
I have not many friends, if I’m honest. Not because I’m unpopular or a loser, but making friends as an adult is hard because of scheduling. None that ride and none that really are near me. I want a bike I can do a few trips on and commute with! I just like to wear my protective gear. Not leather or look like a biker. I’m not into clubs, gangs or cliques. Though I think it would be fun to ride with someone one day. That would be a dream!
I actually put down a deposit on a 2021 Honda Rebel 1100 DCT today with the money I got from the bike, I also paid off a loan. So in august, I will be getting my new bike. If anyone would like, I can post about how it feels and the concept and experience of DCT? If they are interested of course…I don’t want to waste anyone’s time. But I know you’re a curious lot haha. And I don’t want anyone thinking that I chose this bike over the other because it’s better or something. They’re both good bikes! I’ve sat on the bike I’m buying (not the exact one, but the same model) but haven’t ridden it. It is as light weight as the Savage. The rebel I sat on sold before I sold my bike and they are so popular they keep selling out, hence the deposit and two month wait :'(
But if I can contain at least a little bit of patience, hopefully I’ll be hitting the road again soon.
Its this Im retierd now,, no friends exept those on facebook, older and newer biker friends and my brothers and sisters.
In any way if I put out my bike, driving along those roads and stop at those places.. that bikers do, there are a lot of friends.. bikers!
They are often younger then I is. in anyway, some of them ask me about my bike!
And then.. I tell them the whole story.. or not.. preferably one is invitated to sit att the same table.
Its this, one can always go for a run, and get some new friends even if its for a short time.
