I'm doing sober October this month and I have used my bike as a reason to not drink. This is the most I have used it to get around the city, including commuting to manhattan daily. I have to say it's the best thing I have done for myself. Only once you are removed from relying on the subway to get around do you realize how much it sucks.

I love riding by bandit 1250. But lately I stay away because the police are targeting motorcycles that cut through traffic. I hate sitting behind car traffic when I can easily split lanes at a safe speed. In Queens on the south bound Van Wyck, officers stop traffic on all south bound lanes just to catch motorcycles splitting lanes. So the officers are causing the traffic that makes bikers want to split lanes. They do the same on the east bound belt parkway. Also in NYC, cage drivers for whatever reason don't understand that motorcycles need more time and room to come to a complete stop. I hate when I look at my mirrors and a car is tailgating me as if I was driving a car. I used to drive around with a vinyl sticker on my helmet asking for a safe distance. I enjoy riding my bike the most when going out of state, Long island or upstate NY. They share the road, versus in NYC they don't.

My coworker's bike got stolen right outside of work. We tracked the guy who stole it and was trying to sell it on FB Marketplace, pointed the dude to the assigned "detective", and the detective still closed the case and said call your insurance. Unfortunately, his Liability insurance doesn't cover theft, and comprehensive which covers theft was 5x more expensive than your needed basic, minimum liability insurance.

I am 100% registered insured and inspected. However i have heard of cases of cops picking on bike setups or gear - helmet shield cracked 1/2”, after market exhausts, license plate position, after market lights and a bunch other stuff can all get you a ticket if they feel like it. Or accuse you of lane splitting whether they saw you do it or not. Things like that. Its better to not have to deal with that at all.

Are most people in NYC aware that the United States is actually a fairly large country and realize they are packing themselves onto a teeny tiny speck of concrete on the far fringe of everyone else? I think a scooter might be fun there. Or a para motor. Maybe. A helicopter definitely. Is it really worth it? Always been curious about why people put themselves through the constant hassle. It's definitely not the most attractive city in the world. People are rude. The cops are rude. The city runs a money racket with ticketing. It's awful

My criticism was on the city, not the dwellers. If I had to live there, I'd probably opt for a motorcycle over a car. Cars are not fun to navigate there since every 5 miles equates to a half hour of travel. That being said I love your vid and found it interesting.

Much appreciate reviews on riding motorcycles [and scooters] in cities - especially Democrat-run sanctuaries, like NYC. ..... For the past several years, the TV news media has reported Harley Davidson sales are down. What the boob tube news neglects to mention, maybe because Freedom and Liberty are dangerous to the collective, is that most other bike brand sales, as well as used sales are increasing. ....
