Nope. Reliability on these and cost of ownership to high for me. 

Mostly because they are not for the normal auto consumer, they are for the well-to-do  boutique owner who needs a good ego stroking object who wants to appear woke and green.

Saw the Grand National Series run at Will Roger’s Downs years ago on the one mile horse track. The track is so damn big and so damn fast they didn’t lift, just scrubbed off the speed a little going in and let the bike bog down slightly and then pull them through. They didn’t even slide that much, but after a lap they…

Just imagine if they built one with around 350hp. What’s that range like? The argument for this level of power can be found at “every Youtube video of any car leaving a Cars & Coffee”.

Looks like a Jeep product. No loss there. 

Happens often when you run out of talent. The inability of the majority of Vette owners to handle that first to second shift has been the destruction of those cars more than anything else.

Damn right on that Star, Ghost Rider.

Agreed. The entire point I would have in buying an electric bike is to save money. That doesn’t happen if I am just giving it some finance company in payments instead of at the pump.

Best of Bread! COTD!

The problem with most EVs. The best reason to own an EV is to save money on fuel costs. But the payment nullifies this reason. If the desire is to save money, then a Versa or other similar gas powered car is a more reasonable way to go.

The 70s were a free for all and I miss those days some times.

Trucks came with bumpers, dealers took them off and sold them as accessories. Like they do with floor mats and other things like that.

I think thy are going to have to have a sit down with Zarco. He made a good pass on Morbidelli and he knew that Morbidelli would have a chance at the end of the straight to pass him back. Moving over in front of him to block was a huge mistake and he needs to know better. A block pass with contact at 45 mph in the…

This is an extremely important part of their success. MotoGP is not like F1 where the driver is a lesser part of the overall performance. The bike can be coaxed and nudged to go faster without destroying the tires too quickly, and a long time veteran and champion understands that and knows what it should feel like…

If you cannot beat them on the track, then it’s handbags at dawn.

So... is it really about tall corn or is it really about inattentive drivers? 

Borrowed. That’s a cute word. 

The automakers are going to struggle a bit with this. They are geared toward ultra-complex manufacturing and designs like the Tesla are much less complex and require less engineering and team interfacing. I have worked in manufacturing for 35 years, from large scale oil field equipment to pumps to school buses. The…

Well, when there’s no football or baseball what else are they going to show? Korean baseball?
