Hoping that a) I can successfully swap the fuel pump in my pickup and b) it makes a difference. Been slowly swapping parts to try and fix a surging/power-loss issue, and at least I get to brush up on my auto-repair knowledge...

Martinis at lunch can lead to epiphanies like that.  Bill heavily!

You mean, under my clothes?

Oh, you mean the Lexus Grill up by Broadway and State?  Yeah, they make good shakes.

Pair with a Buell S1W for further hilarity.

Officially since 1943, but the cool kids were doing it back in 1936.

Why yes, it does. Three of them, in fact. It even involves a dangerous situation a driver of any age, sex or race might find themself in the middle of.

I don’t store anything on the bike (theft) or carry passengers (no spare helmet) but imagine having a little 250cc grocery-getter with no maintenance, fueling, s…

That’s what this and the Sondors Metacycle are trying to triangulate on. A 10kW motor will get your performance target, but they can’t do much about your range target until batteries get 2x better.

I can’t believe that Putin fell for “They will welcome us as liberators!”

That’s a problem for all of these, but I think usually the pod parks out front and the customer is expected to come out and get their stuff. What’s nice is that the pod isn’t wasting fuel or operator time while it’s waiting.
