I don't really consider riding a motorcycle safe anywhere... but it is a lot of fun.

If I ever buy another motorcycle, it would probably be a Zero. Though I'd have to sit on one and ride it, to see if I fit.

The most fun I've had on a bike, was out in the sticks, on dirt trails on backroad highways, down in Mexico.
(Where there was minimum traffic). So Neil, which model are you thinking about?? ZERO S Electric Motorcycle - Demo Rides || ZERO MOTORCYCLES Great Bay MotorCycles in Tax-free NH...

Well, I would lean toward the S, but I am 6'-4" and about 235 pounds, so it is likely I would not fit; on any Zero model.
And I am trying to build the EV5... |

When I saw how much the Zero 'S' looked smallish (like a 125CC dirt bike),
I wondered if it might be a tad small for me.. 6' 186 pounds of old geezer.. What is the EV5?

I live in the MetroWest area near Boston. Since posting that, I have now seen a total of at least 8 or 10 Tesla Model S's. Closer to Boston apparently, they are seen 2-3 times a day.

Sparks...
I've been seeing quite a few GM Spark cars during commute time here in PDX. Cute little car. Apparently they are being sold at a loss, in order to create infrastructure and ultimately a wider market. BTW, the Sparks were passing my Insight on the hills. -AC

Dang, a bike rack??
Went by the Lexington watering-hole and saw another one yesterday..
But' it's aerodynamics were spoiled by a bike rack.. Of course, it was parked about 14 feet from the Lexington Bikeway.. I guess the owner of 1616 likes a good bike ride too.. Yeah, today is another bike day!!
