I now know the answer to question that's been bothering me for a while: if I lay my (450 pound) bike down, will I be able to pick it up? Preferably, on the first try, and without a protracted struggle?Turns out the answer is yes, and the detailed answer is "also yes"!

@jimsalter Seeing you with that motorcycle always reminds me of this for some reason. But I am glad to see you're enjoying it!

@ljlapierre CSC (originally either Cineco or Zongshen) E-RT3. Electric maxi scooter; real-world range around 70mi if I ride like a hooligan, more like 100mi if I'm riding fairly conservatively.Costs me about $0.50 of electricity per full charge from dead flat.

@rasmus91 I sincerely hope you don't think that comparison OFFENDS me! 🤠

@ljlapierre if you like the sticker on the starboard fairing, btw, here's the one to port (and notice the magnet on the back of my Model 3 Performance while you're at it):

@ljlapierre I'm, uh, "a little less proud" of the Model 3 Performance than I used to be, to say the least.Despite having bought it from a jackass (I knew that much) who turned out to be a Nazi (I did NOT know that much at the time), it is INSANELY fast, though. And it's not like me continuing to own it is making Felon any more money, so... sigh.

@jimsalter eh, you never know which way these things are going to go. One day someone is making waves in the space & electric car industries, the next they're tearing down America. C’est la vie!May as well make the best of money already spent, the Futurama flair is definitely the cherry on top 😄

@rasmus91 ... also, I might need to make that into a sticker and slap it onto the luggage box on the back. :)

@jimsalter figured it probably wouldn't, you seem to have too much humour and self irony to be easily offended by something like that 😛Plus, is Deadpool, what's there to be offended about 😂

@rasmus91 I may or may not have just enlisted the aid of a print on demand sticker company in a minor intellectual property rights violation... this panel belongs on my luggage box.

@jimsalter love it, happy to have played a small part 😂I first saw the panel when i was 15, my friend at the time who was a huge Marvel Comic book fan, and dreamed of getting a motorcycle the minute he turned 18 kept it as his computer wallpaper for a long time. It was fun then, as now.

@mikael I watched half an hour or so of a 110 lb woman lifting bikes ranging up to an 800 pound bagger on YouTube, and paid careful attention.I didn't actually plant my butt on the ground and do the full scoot, but I did lock the bars toward me and lift while facing away, with one hand on the bar and one on the rear deck. I figured if Doodle could manage an 800 pound bagger at all, I could manage Scooty Puff Jr without having to squat all the way down! 😅
