I’m now in the Philippines. I landed last night and will be here for a month. I’m with family and we’re here for a family reunion led by my mom. Tomorrow I’m going to look at a motorcycle rental outfit. Traffic in Manila is pretty bad and a motorcycle would be great for getting around on. I may have previously said this but I’m now 64 and when I sold my last bike some 4 years ago, I thought my riding days were over. But I was getting the itch back, and these past 4 months on the motorcycle (I’m loving the R1200GS Adventure!) has really been feeding my soul. I can sense my riding skills returning, and my soul beginning to soar again! Alas, I’ve decided to sell the Zero DSRX. It’s a really fun bike to get around on, and that torque and instant acceleration is seductive, but I needed more range than the DSRX’s 100 miles highway and 188 city. Anybody want to buy a gently used 2023 DSRX? It’s really a great bike. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-great-ongoing-motorcycle-thread/991279)._
