    New Battery Tech - Nuclear Diamonds!

    To me this reads like some star trek geek trying to explain sci-fi tech. Yup that gravity drive works using radioactive diamonds. Btw, I'm a star wars geek, we call those radioactive diamonds Kyber crystals.

    That's how you haul an Alta.

    Western Maryland offroad 9/11-13

    If it wasn't for COVID I would be there no doubt. I'm hoping the "climate" is a little more forgiving by next summer for a meetup.

    New Zealand 10 Altas

    Soon these 900 Alta's will be spread out all over the world and will be even more rare. That's pretty cool.

    Does anyone know the size of the PTFE washer for the Alta Kickstand? I think I have all the other bolts that don't come in the kit and was going to oder the washer off mcmaster.

    2021 Alta Rally/Race/Meetup (September 25-26)

    Yeah, I'm just outside Altoona now. This winter won't be any good for me, we will be trying to get our house built. I'd definitely be up for going to large Alta gathering in GA, it's just harder for me to commit to longer trips in advance.

    2021 Alta Rally/Race/Meetup (September 25-26)

    Google maps says I'm 11.75 hrs from Highland Park and 3.5 hrs from Tall Pines. For me to make it a long weekend, that's the difference of two riding days and since I'm not sure what my workload will be I can't be sure I can take enough time to make GA worth it for me.

    2021 Alta Rally/Race/Meetup (September 25-26)

    Sounds like we need a West and East Coast rally. Also, if it looks like it's only going to be folks from the northeast, would be easier on all of us to do it in NY. That's assuming this is spring/summer 2021, not winter 2020. But it all depends on how many southern riders are interested.

    2021 Alta Rally/Race/Meetup (September 25-26)

    Sounds like a few polling questions are in order.

    2021 Alta Rally/Race/Meetup (September 25-26)

    You can count me in. The location of the 24 hr Race would be a perfect location up there wouldn't it? Tall Pines ATV Park. Maybe I can finally finish that night lap I never did...

    Yamaha Europe is working on a full size e-MX bike!

    In that article they say “The higher torque of the electric motor is a big advantage and enables much higher traction on the circuit.” I think what they meant to say was the higher torque enables much more roost. Not sure more torque = more traction, actually I've found the opposite. If you...

    My Alta may have ruined ICE bikes for me

    Rivian has orders for 100,000 amazon delivery vans and should be releasing their pickup truck before anyone else. Philip, you can complete your electric vehicle set..all with different manufacturers. Man, times have changed.

    Top of Mt. St.Helena (all the important stuff)

    If that terrain is typical you were probably spinning those tires a lot.

    Interest check - Alta fastener kit

    I'd be interested in smaller "kits", such as spare body screws. I probably wouldn't buy a full bike set.

    DIY LHRB that retains the foot brake

    I'm talking about the stock line from the original rear brake master to the rear brake caliper (your first link). My issue is that the small clip the line is zip tied to broke, so the line contacts the rear main suspension spring. So they are rubbing together and it really bothers me. So far...

    DIY LHRB that retains the foot brake

    On the rear brake line from the cylinder to the disc, is there a p/n for the sleeve that snaps the line into the retainer on the swingarm? If I'm ordering a new line from spiegler, do they have that part? Apologies if I missed that somewhere.

    MX basket case bike resuscitation

    The Cove is pretty awesome. The trails are pretty crazy though, a LOT of rock, but some pretty awesome hill climbs. Also, where else can you strap an AR-15 to your back, ride trails and then go blast steel targets....legally.

    Fasteners/bolts?

    I was watching Tyler Monagan's you tube videos where he customized his Alta, he said that he got a complete bolt kit from specbolt.com, however they don't list the Alta. I bet if you call they'll have what you need.
