Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #14Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #3 do you have the big super scoots like the Honda X-ADV etc https://www.visordown.com/features/top-1...i-scooters-2023 a Catalan friend who lives in the suburbs of Barcelona has an X-ADV and finds it excellent as an urban commuter and for rides into the Pyrenees.

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #17 I don't think that one is available here. One option we discussed is to buy two Yamaha Xmax 300 scooters and trailer them to different locations and do day rides from there. I think it has a top speed in the 85 to 90 mph range so it should be capable or relaxed cruising at 65 to 70?? If we go the scooter route we would probably start with one and see how we like it. In the 80s and 90s I had a Honda 250 Elite and Debbie had a Yamaha 200 Riva. They were our daily transportation for going to work in town and grocery getters. Another option is try a GS to see how we fit two up. 1989 Yamaha 200.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte) Aug 30 1986.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte) Lee |

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #20Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #19 Arthritis, I understand...I have it in my left thumb (from grasping tools, etc. too hard, and repeatedly) and it can start to get sore on rides if I shift with the clutch a lot (which I do, since the RS quickshifter on upshifts is clunky as hell...not so on downshifts). But tendon damage...any surgical solutions available? |

Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #22 She saw a surgeon in Des Moines and Iowa City. They didn't sound hopeful. The guy in Iowa City said Mayo Clinic in Minnesota might be able to do something. She said if that hand doesn't get worse she wants to keep riding for awhile. In the meantime we'll check out other riding options. Lee |
