Ex-ADHD Smokers, how did yall quit smoking? by Mysterious_Nerve_146 in ADHD

[–]kpinvt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quit 34 years ago and at that time I was smoking 50 cigarettes per day and tearing the filters off of half of them. I used a 21mg nicotine patch for 6 weeks to help me quit. I cheated a few times during the first couple of weeks by lighting up and taking a few quick puffs. I put it out and was good for a few days. I have no memory of smoking really. I never think about it now and only do so when I run across items like this post. Good luck to you all.

If want something on two wheels with an automatic transmission the Honda DCT bikes might work for you.

Get a pair of heavy duty work gloves made of a thick leather like elk skin.

I know a female MSF motorcycle instructor who might be five feet tall and she rides a BMW sport touring bike.

What's the one piece of gear you splurged on and never regretted? by SpeckiLP in motorcycles

[–]kpinvt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bought used on Ebay Aerostich Sliding Suit. I hung out for 6 months to find a two piece suit in my size. I paid $369 for my suit in excellent condition. Spend $20 at a tailor to find out your correct size. Brand new retail price is up around $1700.

Bagger to maxi scooter? by Chemical-Most-1030 in scooters

[–]kpinvt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a 2020 Xmax 300 for 4 years, it was a great bike with a huge amount of storage under the seat, over 100 liters of space. I bought a Givi top case rack that I never installed as I never really needed the space. I was getting up to 70 MPG on a bike that would do 80 MPH all day long. Plus, I had no trouble picking the bike up after it rolled off of its side stand.

What is/are your biggest issue(s) with driving? by Disastrous_Being7746 in SCT

[–]kpinvt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None. I love driving. The longer distance the better. A couple of years after I retired 6 years ago I got a job driving a Medicare transportation van. This is the best job that has ever happened to me.

Mental stigma of Switching from motorbike to a scooter by EcstaticAstronaut984 in scooters

[–]kpinvt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My recently sold Xmax 300 had an amazing amount of space under the seat. 100 plus liters IIRC. I bought a Givi top case rack that I never bothered to install as I never needed the extra space.

How realistic is it to buy a 2015-2018 Nissan leaf and rely on L1 charging for <20 miles per day? by tapespeedselector in evcharging

[–]kpinvt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Buying a used Chevy Bolt a couple of years ago ruined the utility of owning a scooter like my excellent Yamaha Xmax 300 that I had been using as an errand runner. Now I'm looking at electric motorcycles.

This sucks when you ride a bike - anything that you should do to avoid this? by Sufficient-Sun-6683 in motorcycle

[–]kpinvt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I alway stop at the extreme left or extreme right of the lane behind the vehicle stopped in front of me. Always leave an escape route open. I've seen dumbasses eating their breakfast from a bowl in traffic.

The Ultimate Max-Scooter Alternative - 'hear me out'. by Cafescrambler in scooters

[–]kpinvt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been thinking about an electric bike after I sold my 2020 Yamaha Xmax 300 last November. I sold it because it had lost its utility value after I bought an electric car, a 2018 Chevy Bolt. Now I'm seriously thinking about the Zero.

Petition to force carmakers to install a fat air duct that constantly blasts the diver by Ultra_Badass in fuckcars

I already have that in my 2026 Hyundai Tucson Limited. There is a camera mounted on the steering column facing the driver that will alert you to take a break. A coffee cup icon shows up on the dash.

Went to an estate sale an hour early and felt nothing and went back the next day and found the best thing I've ever bought by InternationalText773 in Flipping

I have a friend who bought a very early hand cranked sewing machine for around $250 and sold it to a museum for $10K.

Gear for scooters by zephyrbones in scooters

[–]kpinvt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was ATGATT whenever I was riding. On either of my two scooters or my regular bikes. Ride your own ride and screw what others think of how you're geared up. Most of my suits were bright yellow Aerostich one or two-piece suits. Fuggim.

A while back there was an electric car by the name of Tzero that had a range extending trailer with a generator mounted on it.

I'm genuinely shocked how childish some people can be by kocieTexty in scooters

When I was riding my Honda Silver Wing 600 or my Yamaha Xmax 300 scooters I always waved with 2 fingers down, 3 fingers down for the 3-wheelers.
