Teslas, Teslas everywhere

[happy intruder]

I still rarely see electric motorcycles, so mine still turns heads.

...And then I tell them it's eight years old and their eyes about bust out.

thinking about that......My 2016 BMW R1200gs lc is in mint condition....Been all over USA from North Carolina to Canada and Mexico......My issue is that I was once paying $2.50 for premium.....Now its $7.25.....ouch.....4 gallons cost $30 !!!.......Electricity is $.19kWh.......its a no brainer except I like going places and I get 51-53 mpg.....

Yeah, the electric bikes are not much tourers, as you have to go from charging point to charging point.

But it is a wiz for errands in traffic. Commuting. Any local loops. Especially since we have filtering here. I pray for red lights now!

I know a guy who works for the fire department responsible for scraping idiots on motorcycles off of highway 35 up above you. You don’t strike me as the kind to go blazing down 35 at 120MPH drifting into the opposite lane of traffic, but careful of the other idiots.

(It is entirely possible to have fun on windy roads and drive responsibly)

i just spent a week in upstate New York, where I counted a total of 9 Teslas. They were outnumbered at least 2 to 1 by “go Brandon” paraphernalia.

Coincidence?

What's funny is that, upon returning to Austin, I saw at least 6 Teslas before I even left the airport

You should get a Stark Varg.

Their stats are a bit fluid at the moment. Also, I don't ride motocross.

But 80Hp and 115kg! ?
Even the price isn't too bad.
And here I was thinking you could do backflips... ?

Those bikes are insane, but I need something I can ride on the street. Zero’s are tough to beat but there are a lot of new bikes coming out. Maybe the Switch EScrambles or the Evoke Gemini. Even the Fonzarelli NKD would be fun for in town.

Crissa's alter ego perhaps?

I'm not actually much a fan of two wheelers at all except maybe on the farm as workhorses, but even there they are a bit risky. Quadbikes are more my speed though as they do more with less input and carry gear. I haven't found many decent EV versions yet, but to be honest haven't looked much either.

I will start riding donorcycles when they get crush zones, seatbelts, and airbags. And maybe air conditioning lol

And airbags for motorcycles do exist and work, they use them in MotoGP.

sounds like an Aptera is in your future

If the picture is your significant other, your post’s ulterior motive is to flex

I certainly wouldn't punch her, maybe just a poke.........

(since you're in Texas, a Lonesome Dove joke seemed apropos).
