I rode motorcycles as my "daily driver" for more than 40 years. I stopped riding bikes when I retired and got a Cobra because it is like a motorcycle with 4 wheels and thus relatively safer.

Given what I have experienced, I would not consider the Cobra as a daily driver: They are not fun to drive in heavy traffic; when parked in public they are vulnerable to theft, vandalism and damage; they are not "weatherproof' to rain or extreme heat; they are higher maintenance when compared with modern vehicles; they are a high cost per mile means of transportation.

In other words, what I am saying is what your father probably would tell you, or has told you, and so you are likely to just go ahead and get a Cobra in spite of the advice.

Now that I think about it, my father told not to get a bike.
