I was going to complain about winter driving in the Rockies, but minefields and any country you can describe as “prerevolutionary” kinda puts my problems in context. Have a star and a “congrats on surviving!” 

You win. No one should be able to top landmines.

The minefield between Mauritania and Morocco / Western Sahara is quite tense the first time you drive through it. Stay on the soft sand - if you think you see a road surface, that’s more likely to have landmines.

I think better spending of our tax dollars would fix a lot of this.

(Full disclosure: This is a blog for people who are interested in paying taxes for a better society. If your idea of a good country is one with zero taxes, then please close this tab now, there’s nothing for you here.)

I use a filthy keyboard and mouse with my laptop. While there are tradeoffs, I do prefer the searchability of a digital format.

All 30,000 plus of us that live or lived in the Indian Wells Valley are driving 150+ mile round trips every other weekend to go shopping at anything nicer than Stater Brothers or Walmart, sir. Fortunately my wife and I relocated to civilization, and now that 100 mile trip is indeed an outlier.

Plenty of fossil fuels burned to generate the power to charge it, and even more to mine the materials for the battery. Until you put 70k+ miles on it you've not reduced your footprint a bit. 

They very carefully parse out those electrons so that only the green ones make it to Bradley’s house.

43 cents per kW/h?!? Damn.

The obvious.  A bike with reasonable range.

And you believe them.

With this particular bike I don’t see how the EV infrastructure was even remotely a factor in the range issues and not the actual lowly range and performance of the bike.   Fail in my book.

In January I dissed the LiveWire for lacking level 2 charging and you said :

This is the correct take.

Don’t you understand, gas cars are evil! If Nissan or GM can’t pump out a new EV daily for our Morning Shift articles, then they have no place in our brave new world.

It’s crazy to me that there’s an “automotive enthusiast website” where half the staff seemingly hates cars.

All of these bans on gas-burning cars end up a little dumb in that, well, they are not taking place immediately
