Last year I got one of the newer (2014) Triumph Bonneville 900s. It looks retro, but with newer technology. I LOVE it, may even sell my Harley. Unless I find a bigger house like I want, I may use the Harley as a living room or rec room decoration.

Years from now when you get a bit older, and the reflexes get a bit too slow; you can always revisit this topic.

Would LOVE a Triumph Bonneville. Currently have a 2021 BMW F750 GS (First bike) and love it, and it seems only Triumph is equal with BMW on build quality

Some shocking stuff out there!

Honda makes great bikes! Grew up with them. I've had the XR650, XL600R, XL250, MT250, SL100, CT70. Their engines seem to run forever. Here are my current bikes.

England, USA, and Japan. I think I have the bases covered, haha. I rode the Tail of the Dragon on the Suzuki, kobby tires and all.

Toyota Corolla in a hybrid model starts off at 22k. That price makes it pretty tempting.

Doubt I'll ever be able to afford a car. The insurance has to be 10x as much as my motorcycle. But I do admit this winter has been cold on it lol. ..

I know it's a hybrid.... Just never thought I'd see the day when a Corolla was over $20K, stock in terms of performance, and would be seen as a good deal.

You'd be surprised, raggie. Barely had to search, found one Mitsubishi Mirage 2020 model for under $8500 with only 30K miles on it. Another I found was a 2017 Mirage for under $5,000 with 85K on it. The latter one is a bit much, but as a modern-day vehicle it'll still have plenty of life left in it. Since Mirages have an unearned reputation as the Worst car sold in America, there is a massive amount of negotiating room for a Buyer.

Honestly a new car to anyone is dependent on where they live and commute to. If you live in a big city and commute back and forth with lots of stop and go with no freeway, a hybrid or a battery electric car might fit you. Long highway drives make hybrids and battery electric worthless because those do better in stop and go.
