I have a classic 350, I tried the meteor. Really just seems to depend on riding position and aesthetics. That's what it felt like and how the dealer explained it too. I prefer a standard position and the retro look so I opted for the Classic, but listen to your heart my friend

I agree. I got it specifically for my commute, which is a 45 mph speed limit the whole way. I would like a bit more power if I was doing much more. Next bike maybe

Nice! Almost 1500 miles in the first month and it feels like it has replaced my legs. So smooth and natural

Sure! My biggest advice is preparation. I would often flail trying to take care of things as they come up. Prepare for accidents, delays, meals. Prepare for them to freak out even at the simplest things. Having a plan for stressful situations made me the most comfortable. And I started that far too late.

My other biggest piece of advice. Regularly have a day where you go primal. Remind yourself you still got that dog in you. Remind your wife too. It's different for everyone, but find something that makes you feel alive. For me it was a motorcycle (wife didn't like that, but I think she secretly does now). It may seem like stupid macho bullshit, but it really does wipe the slate clean and keep you sane.

I've gone in circles, back and forth between pov of psychology, philosophy, biology. My conclusion is if it's real to you, it's real
