It's actually been really nice here lately. Sure, we've got floodwatch levels of rain forecast tomorrow, but sunny intervals afterwards!

I think I'm gonna get crazy and put down $500 deposit (against $5k) to get in line for a Bolt e-moto to keep at my house in Austin. They say it's easy to "winterize" so I can park it in my garage for months while overseas.

Sorry everyone, I broke summer - my nephew and the local sprogs were having a big water fight over the weekend so I bought him a massive load of water balloons for the next engagement, and it hasn't stopped raining since. At least I didn't wash my bike over the weekend, we'd all be underwater by now.

On the way into work this morning, some random driver started lecturing me on why I should stunt out my bike and how it would be perfect for stunting. A 2004 BMW shaft-drive is a perfect stunt bike.

If that doesn't set off your bullshit alarm, I just don't know what to tell you. You know what's easy to winterize? A fuel injected motorcycle. You just come back to it 6 months later, take off battery charger, turn key and go. Nitrox fucked around with this message at 15:48 on May 10, 2016 |

Nitrox posted:Had to look it up. It's a bicycle with electric motor that costs $5,000. http://www.boltmotorbikes.com/ I see bicycles with those cheap eBay two stroke motors mounted all over downtown Austin, While I approve of bolting motors to things, I have to imagine some non-zero percentage of them grenade right next to the rider's nuts. I swear I saw one with a typewriter loaded into a pannier outside a coffee shop last week.

Looks like they de-uglied the SFV650 and called it the SV650 http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/2017-suzuki-sv650-and-sv650-abs-pricing-and-availability-announced?src=SOC&dom=fb The frame looks nicer than the Gen2's.

VERTiG0 posted:Has it been said yet if the new-gen 2017 SV has good or bad suspension? According to what I've read, basically the same as previous gen SVs or any other entry level bike: non-cartridge non-adjustable telescoping forks and preload adjustable rear shock (probably Showa on both ends). Not bad, not good.
