Please bear with this Luddite, I'm loading pics from the fone, I'll comment from the real keyboard.
Ok, So I've been a sane and responsible person most of my life. Peddled many a mile as a younger man, including commuting year round (in North Georgia, so, no not Syracuse, but not Key West either). Motorcycles always appealed, but I never felt motorcycles and dependents mixed well.
In '18 the equation worked out and I got my foist motorized bike.
I wanted to just ease into it, see if it was for me. I started with a Ducati Monster 821. What a hoot. You can carry one short sleeved shirt in the 'cargo' space under the seat. That's it. Handle bars, foot pegs, and a seat. Other than moving the mirrors to the bar ends so I could see behind me, and not just my elbows, the only thing I added to this was the best thing any motorcycle can have, and that's something pretty riding pillion.
A few years have passed and I'm getting older and slower. Hips hurt after an hour or two. (btw, you sit the Monster upright. Shoulders, hips, and feet are in a vertical line. You are not crouched over.) An old man's cruiser was the solution. I just could not bring myself to join the dark side and get a potato potato bike, and I find I really like overpriced maintenance costs, So I just picked up another Ducati. This time a Diavel 1260S. With the wife and I on, it weighs under 850 lbs, 155ish hp, 95ish torqueies. It is enough to get an old man and his lady down the street.
Ever since I was a punk kid of 12 or so I have loved to sail. If you are in a hurry, don't take a sailboat. If you are trying to get away from the hurry, take a sailboat. It still amazes me just how fun and exhilarating 8mph can be.
This is a '79 Seidelmann 299. Designed by sail makers and racers it is a neat boat. There is not a cup holder on the thing. The set up below deck is pretty '70's frugal, but the rigging is meant to sail.
intersting note: if you let out the clutch in first gear at idle on the motorbikes, they go 9 mph. The sailboat tops out at about 9mph. I must be hooked on the lean.
