I just wish they’d raise it a few inches, add some black plastic cladding and taller tires, and only offer CVTs.

The brief riding I did in Oregon was all thick fog. I missed all the scenery. Northern California delivered, though. 

I get that you need transpo back from NY. But I can’t understand why a man with a fleet of what most would assume are winter beaters needs a winter beater. 

I haven’t sat in a Mustang II, but the Fox bodies on all had very cramped rear seats in my recollection. 

What a handsome fairing. 

If you took me to flat track bookended by mountain motorcycle rips we might be married. 

Will the new electric vehicle rebates cover motorcycles? If I can knock $4500 off of $11.1k I can almost convince myself to do this. Almost. 

I moved from Denver to the rural south. The only thing I miss is Costco.

But, man, do I miss it.

As a person with more motorcycles than cars I run a lot of Rotella T6. It is far cheaper than oils labeled for motorcycles and it has the right additives motorbike work. It’s also nice to be able to use the same thing in my other not-motorcycles, but I can see switching to Tractor Supply or Rural King brand to save…

Don’t they still do that?

Egan’s always been a favorite. I had literally no idea that he wrote about not-motorcycles prior to reading your comment. 

Every single story about every single electric motorcycle just makes me long for the Alta Redshift. 

I can’t understand how electric power without level-2 charging lends itself to a day at the track, either.

I think that must be the real reason Bradley’s pushing for the Livewire. One might be able to charge that quickly enough between sessions to make a day of it. Maybe.

It takes about 15 seconds. 

I used to commute from the inland valley to Culver City.

I had a 4x4 former DHL E-250 with the 5.4. Never anything more than 10 mpg unless I filled up in the mountains and then re-filled up in Denver.

I have this in a 2wd pop-top. If you’re not full timing the thing I think the pop-top is better, as even with the extended shell here you can’t stand up. Got it for $13k in Denver but it has a salvage title. Works fine but the camping is lame in VA and I think about selling it daily.

I had a 4x4 panel van homebuilt…

Not on the 5.4, which a lot of these came with. The 5.4 was notorious for plugs breaking in the head, and these vans give you less room to deal with that.

They chopped one of those VEMCO things up on Dirt Every Day. I think the parts are getting to be unobtanium.

Take your Beemer’s headlight back to stock and it would look like a cousin of that (sweet sweet) Katana.
