Hey guys, I bought a 2015 cb500f and its in near mint condition. It's my first bike and I'm doing what I can to try not to drop it, but I'm worried about street parking situations where a car can bump into the bike and drop it. For this specifically, is it worth installing crash bars, or any specific crash protection equipment? Is any equipment cost effective, and is there any I should ignore
Hey all, really considering a move from NYC due to high prices and lack of space among other things, so looking for somewhere to switch to and start life fresh in (I've been in NY my whole life). I'd be renting so don't want to get overwhelmed with choosing the #1 best state/city etc, but have heard really nice things about Dallas from multiple people. Just because of that, I'm considering potentially going there and seeing how I like it for a little bit.
Particularly, I am interested in the muslim communities, and in having more space and parking for vehicles while getting around (I drive cars and motorcycles), and so less stress in life perhaps, as well as lower taxes and housing costs overall. I am an energy engineer for work but I can get by for a little while through my savings and am sure I would be able to find work eventually, and that's if I don't just go for a switch and start with freelancing/business ventures.
With all this said, I think there's a lot of potential here as NYC is just getting worse, and I would like a life with more space and slower pace. Any city recommendations I should look at particularly, and any experiences to share from others who came from NY? Would really be interested to hear the differences, and excited for a switch to wherever that may be.
