This is a Norwegian cruise line, not Norwegian Cruise Lines. And it’s a cruise ship, not a ferry. This is the equivalent of a passenger airline restricting certain cargo from the cargo hold.

The fun part is that even though I grew up in DC and have driven buy it many times, it still doesn’t compute that Watergate is a building not just a scandal.

The Bronco Sport is a Ford Escape in fancier clothes. They’re built on the same C2 unibody, where the Bronco (proper) is body-on-frame and built on the Ranger chassis. Totally different vehicles that look similar and have the same name, but are worlds apart in their design. 

The Bronco is Ford’s answer to the Jeep Wrangler. The Bronco Sport is just a Ford Escape with a boxy appearance package.

When Harley is willing to leave their bread and butter, they can make some pretty great stuff.

Until battery power density gets a 2.5-3 increasse a battery powered motercyces are going to be stuck as a commuter or short hop ride to a friends place to hangout. No one wants to ride for an hour and an half or two hours and have to  charge for an hour and repeat.

Wish more car companies would use green more. Seems like most color choices today are silver, grey, black, white, and maybe some red.

Announcing you’re planning for the long term?  In the US?  Some corporate raider will swoop in to take any capital saved for the transition when the stock price plummets because they didn’t meet some 1 month sales goal.

This is the truth. I have a few Harley things...Tee’s are fun to pick up when out of town, plus a few hats and a hoodie. But, MUCH of their riding gear is rebranded stuff. And, you can often get better quality if you go away from the brandbrandbrand. Same goes for accessories (albeit, sometimes. Harley accessories,…

This is actually the smartest EV transition plan/theory I have heard yet. The problem with a lot of automakers is that there are a LOT of consumers that are just not ready for the switch. And, in three years when there are no gasoline Volvo’s (just as an example), the person that wants a gas car will just buy a…

So... uh... this?

The big issue is convincing your “typical” Harley customer to buy an electric one.  Out of ALL the motorcycle companies out there Harley will be the hardest to convert their customer from ICE to EV.

Exactly! It’s a big image thing too. I ride with a bunch of Harley guys and no way in hell they will buy an electric HD. A this point electric aren’t even feasible with the lack of charging infrastructure and long charge times. We spent 9 days riding in SC, NC, and TN last July and there was no way an electric bike…

Or they will make the switch and the company itself will die off.

Oh, it’s high. VERY HIGH. *exhales*

I saw a V8 Lotus Esprit sell at auction on Hemmings for $38,800 last month.

It’s a Jeep thing......

HD does have extremely good sound systems on their bikes. Will have two songs built in. Born to Wild and Potato-Potato
