   @HarneyB@decept.org @purple@nya.social you're looking for ebikes, takes a couple cents every ride and they have really powerful motors that can hit 40mph and you can plug them in anywhere, build it yourself for around 1k with kits. never gonna happen with motorcycles, they're just too complicated unless you're talking the simplest two stroke lawnmower engine or smth

     @purple I have legitimately thought about a motorcycle for a good while. Especially for long distance, with maybe that metaphorical Taurus/Sable as a <$500 beater car with enough parts removed to rival a base model 80s Civic. Motorcycles at the ≤$1k zone *exist*, but one might have to pay up more for all of the below:

     >won't fear for life on highways (200cc+, I hear that the TW200 just requires a different tune to go faster)
     >accepted by motorcycle training classes (50-300cc), optional but feels convenient
     >reliable manufacturer & model
     >street legal
     
     I am lucky to have lived in a town where I could mostly get around with a bicycle, but that won't cut it if going out-of-town. There is no way I am going to bikepack every single time to meet in a different city.
