UK Illegality in public. Not generally an issue, but it does kill enjoyment in certain parts because it's like "oh all these riders in X location, I would go and join them but I am risking 6 points and a fine, plus having to travel back down there to get it out the impound".

Thanks, added the poll option

Finding the right pads , and shelling out money on something that "might" work. Constant tinkering around trying to find the right angle and position is  number  1 nitpick of mine.  So far for the Sherman, the Shaneplanet pads are my number 1 go to (for not seated), and the monocustomize leather pads (with the middle foam taken out) for seated and all purpose .For the V11, the inmotion pads are ....ok for both seated and great for all purpose use.  Have not found a good pad setup yet for the Hero.

   In relation to pads, seated riding and pads usually have a cause and effect together, as pads usually are in the way . Hoping grizzla pads help with my enjoyment with the Hero to get that "feeling" and control nailed down as I would like, and for easy transitioning for seated riding on the Hero. For right now, the S18 leather pads (with the middle foam taken out) is what works for me at this moment until the grizzlas come in.

Which, considering both the government’s position on CO2 reduction, the rising cost of fuel, and their vulnerability as to the question of air pollution, quite apart from their apparent acceptance and indeed drive (🤔😅) toward EV’s, is frankly both illogical and untenable.

Getting the right foot position - and consistently getting the right position - was a bit annoying when I first started learning to ride. But, after adding pads that have a cutout to position my ankle, that problem is just about gone. If my foot doesn't land where it's supposed to, and quick lift-and-shift solves it.

For dialing in the speed alarms, I've just been raising the beep and tilt-back thresholds by 5 km/h every time I notice that I'm comfortable and the EUC is beeping. I'm still not at the EUC's limit though so this has basically just been a way to track my progress. If I was comfortable at the EUC's limit then it would be time to trade up for something faster.

Agility has been a challenge, but the more I ride, the tighter I can turn. My high speed carving isn't progressing nearly as much so I bought a Michelin City Grip to replace the stock knobby tire, to see if that helps any. But I have yet to find out, because...

The problem that I have now, like so many other King Song S22 owners, is that my EUC won't even power on. But that's somewhat more than just a nitpick, so it's out-of-scope for this thread.
