Itchy Boots rides a 2021 Zero DSR
« on: December 22, 2020, 04:25:07 AM »

Until the pandemic hit Itchy Boots was riding all over the world on a Royal Enfield Himalayan. She ended up in Peru and was locked down until she was able to return to the Netherlands, where she is currently locked down again. So instead of posting YouTube episodes of her many travels around different countries she is posting various activities that she can do in her country. In this episode she tries riding a Zero for the first time as a park ranger assistant:

One interesting thing about this Zero test ride is that Zero motorcycles are being sold by a large car dealer in this city of the Netherlands. It is also interesting to watch the reactions of someone who has never ridden an electric motorcycle before ride one for the first time.

Same thing I liked about this young lady's thoughts:

Yeah, put my spouse on my bike and she switches from this easy, careful rider to this super-accurate, very confident riding.  It just obeys her in ways even after a year I can't match.

Of course, that control came with the overconfidence that led her to dropping my bike a year ago. *laugh*
