Hello guys!
Sorry my Dutch is terrible (I really should learn ) so I will do this in English. I moved here to Utrecht about a year and half ago from California with the intention of buying a bike but haven't really had the chance to until now. I rode an SV650 for two years back in the states before moving here so I'm not entirely new but I'm definitely new to riding with this Dutch weather.
I just wanted to ask if you guys have any advice on riding here (specific rules/rain/winter riding), and the process of buying a bike. I transferred my license over here so I can technically ride anything but I've been looking at smaller bikes like the ER6f and Street triple (don't want to get too many of those expensive tickets ). When I do buy a bike do I need insurance right away or how does that work? Also any favorite gear stores nearby Utrecht?
Cheers!
