They have all sorts of Harleys and other huge bikes, but I'm looking for something small and agile... I'm still very much a novice rider 😅

So this is the bike I'm renting: Yamaha R3....but obviously I'm not racing on a track. Just driving slowly and carefully on secondary roads.https://www.yamahamotorsports.com/supersport/models/yzf-r3

@aligyie They have them on the website, but I didn't see them in the shop today.Next time I'll try to rent one of those, I'm sure they're a lot of fun and much less noise! 👍https://www.eaglerider.com/electric-motorcycles/lax-los-angeles-international-airport?page=1

@codewiz CT90 and CT110 Hondas most produced next to the CL70/ 90 in the world market Very popular in the the Asian market's and street mods are within 500 to 1200 A non running CT90 with a title range in 300 to a 1000 You find the after market lafin engine that bolts right in with little modification https://pitbikehub.com/best-pit-bike-engine-reviews/

I parked the bike at a dead-end road and hiked up "vista trail", hoping it would lead me to a scenic view and... indeed! 🤩Looking towards Inspiration Point (the cliff in the foreground) and the Long Point peninsula with Marineland in the back.

@comrad @benoit Indeed, they have done that in the past. They should be legally required to give a precise reason.

The Royal Enfield Himalayan may be a nice fit for your needs.There's no need for those huge, overpowered and heavy bikes to have fun.

@comrad @benoit But it's not like the other cloud storage providers behave any better... what alternatives do we have?I have my own servers, but most users don't want to build and maintain all the infrastructure. Not to mention security and reliability...

@codewiz @benoit well I would always go for an local backup. Or an backup on a different company's cloud.

@benoit @comrad I use it too, and it's great between laptops, desktops and servers... but I never tried it on Android, where I only have a small local cache of all my photos.
