We go around the town of Bastrop and end up in Fisherman's park to eat lunch on the Colorado River. On the way back we stop at an interesting derelict bridge where I vie for the spot of top buzzard. #hondaruckus

    On a 5 speed grom with a 75kg rider, ridding super gently with not much stop and go and speed in the 35mph ( 50km/h ) indicated, the on board computer was showing avrage of just about 150mpg for one tank ( good portion of it ) . At the gas pump that also calucated within few % same provided that oldometer is correct... which seemed like within 2-3 %.

    I bought a 2023 Honda Monkey in June and the 5 speed has gears well spaced and am very happy with it. This is my first motorcycle and at 80 decided to start ridding and really enjoy it and got my motorcycle endorsement . If feel that a gear indicator is useless. So have been ridding the bike for a little over a year and a half and have added a T-Rex racing windshield, center stand and rear rack with a top box. It is light and easy to ride. Normally cruise at 50 mph and get between 114 and 140 mpg. They changed the bore and stroke for 2022-2023.

    • @Dondular
      @Dondular 22 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      Being an 80 year old rider is kind of cool, but learning how to ride at 80 is way cooler. It means you still have a young mind. A center stand is something we'll probably do but haven't felt the need yet for a windshield on the Grom or the Monkey. Maybe over the winter we'll change our tune. Keep riding and stay safe and Happy Thanksgiving to you.

I've found that in my 2nd childhood, small bore engines do it for me. Either ya love 'em or hate 'em. Finding one that fits can make a huge difference in the fun factor. Those Groms fill a good void as evidenced by their popularity.
