Got a chance to wander around a bit further south than usual, just south of Mt St Helens area.

I always considered it either a chick bike, or light weight easy scoot about for someone with property like mine, kinda like the light bee. The price point is what always turned me away, couldn't figure out what made it so much better. Since you have ridden one, would you consider it worth...

There's no question, for most of us here, it was love at first sight. I was hooked before I even rode one, just walked into the dealership and said take my money!!

Operations meetings... Just made my skin crawl. Don't blame you for distracting yourself.

I think you are giving me credit for someone else's contribution....

Sounds cool, wish I could join, but I will only be able to join through the pictures you post. You will post pictures for us, right??

Had I not been working on my mid week day drinking, a fine bourbon I might add, I would have the ability to respond in multi sentence answers. Or even simple coherent phrases... Now what did I do with my cigar? Oh yeah, thanks again to @Philip and @snydes for keeping the lights on, and...

Ironic since my superpower is providing smart assed sarcastic responses!

Interesting box, where did you find it?

Sooo... This has become the taking odds on when an Alta replacement will hit the market thread. With some crystal ball troubleshooting tips.

Bang for the buck, that's going to be the best quiet inverter style unit on the market at this time. If you don't mind more noise, the harbor freight preditor units have been very popular too.

My recollection was the displayed speed was more than 10% off, but I may be misremembering by now. And I have since quit caring about what speed I am actually doing and just enjoying the ride now.

Yes, I would say max motor RPM is the limiting factor for overall speed. It's just how fast you get there that the different maps alter. And I have some doubts that 70 is really the actual top speed these bikes can do with stock gearing, based on my couple of GPS comparison tests. It seems...

Anybody with a small hobby lathe can make these. Pretty simple.

What brand crystal ball do you have? Mine doesn't work so well.

Nice video, looks like familiar territory. I used to live down in Klamath Falls, and still get down there to ride a couple times a year. Might just have enough Altas in the area to do a high desert rally!

Nice tidy place to protect the display, but seems to me wouldn't it just be easier to not crash??:p

That makes sense. I have mixed feelings about having an Alta alternative on the market, on one hand I will be able to find parts bikes to keep mine operational cheaper, but on the other hand, my bike will be worth less if I ever decided to sell...

If KTM or Honda just come up with a comparable bike, why would you spend the money to just get what you already have? I have no interest in buying a new bike until there is a substantial increase in performance or range, mostly range. Unless nothing better comes along before I wear my Alta out...

Well, we're all willing to spend your money for you, let us know how nice it is! Then we can tell you what accessories and mods you have to do too.:lurker:
