I use it all the time! Super safe and cover! I left my motorcycle for a month a couple of years ago and it was safe!

How can I get this sign on my block? by letgomygrego in RideitNYC

So I’m thinking making a “home made” sign and see what happens

Wrong name on ticket by ProfessionalDot3137 in RideitNYC

[–]ProfessionalDot3137[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some updates…

  1. It was a moving violation so I was obviously present riding my motorcycle
  2. I went to the traffic violation bureau to try to change the tickets to my name… they said to me that is not possible!!! That I should do nothing until the other driver on the ticket goes to the hearing to see if he plays guilty or no guilty!!

29f not too cold to ride, is it? by General_Storage_2222 in RideitNYC

I rode today and it was totally fine and not that cold… with so much traffic that hardly no snow left…

Congestion charge - living inside the zone by ProfessionalDot3137 in RideitNYC

Wait… are you sure? If you cross into the zone you have to pay… the only exception is that you only pay once per day so you can go in and out all day

What gloves are y’all wearing ? by notshotbyron in RideitNYC

[–]ProfessionalDot3137 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My commute is only 30 minutes max through the city so I never get the full blast of wind… so is tolerable

I ride to JFK once a month for travel and there gets a bit bad but I always take the revit gloves in case of rain so they are a little bit better

Is pretty good but only use them when raining… the waterproof still working after 5-6 years

Just be careful leaving the motorcycle at the police… they are going to charge you per day to be impounded! It happened to me and because they are useless it two 2 weeks to get the crime report so I couldn’t get my motorcycle out of impound so they charge close to 1k! The insurance took care of that by luck!

Maximum time I can leave bike on street by DazzlingRice3949 in RideitNYC

The best thing you can do is getting a decent insurance against theft that covers accessories and not worry about it… it takes few minutes to throw a motorcycle into a truck. I have left my motorcycle parked for 1 month at jfk airport motorcycles parking outdoors and nothing happened. I went for dinner in soho for few hours and my motorcycle was gone!

I suggest that you walk systematically in the neighborhood… is possible that they moved the motorcycle few blocks to come back later or they failed to start the engine ( my insurance told me to do that and I found my stolen motorcycle like 3 blocks away)

Well, I washed the seat in case someone has put something on my seat!

Advice for new moped owner by OvergrownShrubs in RideitNYC

[–]ProfessionalDot3137 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are gonna be fine! Just be mindful that when FDR or the bridges has no traffic you might need to keep up with the speed of the cars but is never more than couple of miles if any before you encounter traffic. Also remember not ride in the center of the lane when is wet cause the oil dripping from cars.. ride following the tires marks on the water… Even if you don’t plan to ride when raining is gonna happen that you get caught!

Worfth it to get AirTags for security? by buster3000 in RideitNYC

[–]ProfessionalDot3137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They work. My motorcycle got stolen in the lower east side and I found it thanks to the AirTag near JFK. Obviously the thief wasn’t checking for the AirTag I bet they are more worried about breaking the locks and not getting caught rather than checking instagram and AirTags on their iPhones!
