The police never give us any grief, even if we ride on the sidewalk. I do show full respect for people on the sidewalk as they have the right-away. I also have a modded Lectric XP 3.0 that rarely gets ridden now. That thing is fast but it eats the battery pretty quick. I stay at 2 amps for charging, easier on the battery but it takes around 7 hours to full charge!

And speaking of 2 wheels, I inquired about a 2024 SYM CityCom 300i today. They would have to order it or I might have impulse purchased it. I suspect out the door it would be more than a 2024 Kawasaki Eliminator, the 500cc model. I try to hype myself up but I can't live with a motorcycle. But I really like that new Eliminator!

I really like the Eliminator too. I sat on one and it fits and I like the styling. It as 47 rear wheel horsepower so it's no slow poke at 390 pounds. Kawasaki builds great engines too. My only hangup is what it will cost OTD. It will be pushing over $8k and I don't know if I want to sink that kind of bucks into something. There are lightly used bikes for less at local dealers with no freight, prep and other costs that will hold me for a good long time.

Did you notice Jess's snarky comment over there about me posting? I wonder who told him since I doubt he would lower himself to come to a forum he doesn't control on his own.
