How frequently do you, folks, practice the above on a closed off parking lot etc? I tend to do it after every other group ride with my chaps + 1 weekend a month, so pretty frequently. I'm 42M.

When I speak to my moto pals, the 99% answer is "never".

I feel odd practicing so often,I even get odd looks from other bikers passing by. But even 20 mins in the parking lot gives me a massive confidence boost on road.

(I got inspired by some old Motojitsu YT videos)

Hey folks! My first post here. My first post on Reddit, ever.

I've been riding bikes for a while now (6 years). Been on some safety courses like Biker Down, BikeSafe UK (Hertfordshire). Had a variety of them: Speed Triple, NC750X, Tenere 700, Scrambler 900, and a few more.

And I've ridden scooters in Asia on a daily basis... And I love the convenience of them & the non-complexity aspect (jump and ride).

So I started to allow the thought of getting one (scooter) to grow in my head... Sadly I have space just for one. So my Scrambler 900 has to go. I've been looking at a maxi scooter like ADV 350 etc

But... I feel I'll be treated differently within my biking circle. Maybe this isn't true,maybe it's just me. Has any of you switched from a proper bike to a scooter? And how did things change within your biking social circle? Are you now excluded from longer Euro trips or kept to a side, or nothing changed at all and I'm just imaginative?
