    I’m working in Vietnam at the moment, and there’s people achieving things on 40 year old 110cc scooters every day that put “Adventure Bikes” to shame … I think they’re like modern pickup trucks - marketing to people that bigger equals better

        Not just how to use it, but knowing that sometimes less is more is useful.

        On this mornings commute I passed 3 workmen all on one regular 125cc scooter, towing a load of tools and 10’ 2x4s on a 3-wheel trailer. Ironically, that would be more difficult to do with a big ADV bike

    Came across FortNine from the e-Bike review. Not currently in the market for a motorbike (spouse block), but really enjoying his presentations.
