Joey was the best character on “Friends”. By far.

Oh, and I looked at the Cake site. My, that is ugly. Seems pretty competant though... https://ridecake.com/shop/bikes/kalk/

True. I rode an EXR 16 miles from the trailhead to my house on backroads and noticed how quickly I was using the charge. I tried to go easy, but was in blinky mode when I got back at 32 miles.

I have liability (only, but $2M) on all my bikes. In California you are liable if you are at fault in a collision. I did some research and posted it here California State Park OHV Rules - BARF - Bay Area Riders Forum

Looks like Carnegie. They need rules there, People ride everywhere, then the groundcover is gone, then it rains and the ground is gone. Cursed we are. Blessed too, I suppose. First world problems.

Living here in the center of the universe, I am not too concerned about support, not to mention the support available from this site. Support for any product is pretty much hit and miss nowadays with “just in time” delivery and tech heavy products. Back in the day, even before my day, folks had...

My bike, #0019, is early production, and the knarlyness selection switch half failed at about 11 months. It would toggle down, but not up. It was replaced under warranty.

Welcome Ed. I like my Alta; enough that I would buy one without factory support. I think the dash/ controller is the most problematic item. With a little luck, nothing will ever fail. With a little luck, we won’t break anything. Falling down is pretty uncommon for me because the bike is so easy...

Awesome thread. You guys are a bunch of geeks. I include myself, I suppose.

Sometimes the dirt and mud do not fall off all by itself, dammit. Oh, I keep my fork legs clean. Every ride. But yeah, I just don't have the time to keep it pretty, and with so little maintence I dont have to ckean things before I take them apart. More time for riding!

I just washed mine. That would prolly be the fouth time in two years, 4000 miles, of ownership. I do keep the drivetrain clean, but the rest of the bike...

Fireplace in the background? Is that your living room?

Ah, my youth...

Winds of Change, by Jason Johnson Early last week, a thunderstorm rolled in off the ocean and, like a great steam-powered beast, crawled its way across Watsonville. The pressure dropped, the sky grew dark, and the barn was alive with swallows, hurrying back to the chirping fledglings in their...

I have talked to some well connected folks in the last few days. Everything on the internets is unsubstianted. Peeps can say ANYTHING on tihe webz. Fake news. Don't jump to conclusions.

Nerds! They look like me. Except I'm short. And have lots of hair.

Thanks. There is a guy building Lightning Motorcycles near me. I intend to ask him about battery use and care...

Ha! Us old folks don’t crash. We are sensitive to pain. We break. We don’t heal. We can go quick enough at 7/10 ths...

Don’t crash and these bikes should run forever! Insert fingers crossed smilies here...

I understand Alta has pretty minimal staff. Patience is golden.
