BMW Motorcycles of SF had the kit when I checked a couple months ago. It is the later kit with the 10mm MC though.

These days, I wish "I" was sub-225! I'm afraid the lockdown has had its wicked way with my mass ratio. I'm not the slim rocket I used to be. Who cares about the bike's weight (unless you have to pick it up). No matter how much the bike weighs, it still has to haul my fat butt up the trail...

If you can’t wake up the bike, you can’t connect the laptop. The first step to update the software is to turn on the bike.

I had much the same issue. Cleaning up the white grease helped a bit. Adding a second spring helped a bit too. But I never got it to move freely. I finally just chucked the whole thing and installed a Left Hand Rear Brake and removed the pedal altogether. Much happier now.

That’s the accessory I am really after: the private test track!

That Xtrig preload adjuster looks pretty cool. Do you know which model works on the MXR? Kind pricey, though. Sure looks like it would make adjustment a heck of a lot easier, though. I HATE rotating preload collars, even though it is pretty easy to get at on the Alta, with no airbox or carb...

I think we are all interested in the Milandr and what it can do. We have been hoping a company or two will enter the dirt bike niche with a worthy electric bike. I think we can all root for that. The members of the Alta Owners Forum can certainly be advocates for any new bikes, since we have a...

Electric Cycle Rider on YouTube has quite a few comparison reviews of the Sur-Ron vs other bikes. This vid isn't a comparo, but is kinda fun. He races the Sur-Ron in hare scrambles, and in one video took his buddy's Alta out. (Not sure if that Alta belonged to an AOF member or not.) He's...

"Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth."

BRAAP - Sound made by primitive internal combustion engines, specifically ancient 2 stroke designs, which used to be powered by decaying dinosaur juice. Note: Also reference BRAAP! : sound made by @TCMB371 when applying additional throttle inputs upon corner exit, or when alerting impeding...

Did K&B Motorsports In Petaluma finally sell their last MXR?

Can you give us a little rundown on how the Quantya compared to the Alta?

I was just watching a few videos on the Electric Motion Escape. It has a pseudo-clutch setup that is half electric clutch and half regen brake. (I think it also might have a foot brake). The EM Epure Race has a real diaphram clutch for serious trials riding. Anyway, I just thought I'd throw...

The bike was working well, at least until we tried to fix the ouchety shrouds... "You take the left shroud, I'll take the right! What could possibly go wrong?"

Clearly that didn't stop us idiots from buying bikes after the company folded. And most of the bikes are still running so far. I'm hoping by the time the batteries start to fail for good, I can just drop a Mr. Fusion reactor into the thing and keep on flying. After all, "where we are going we...

They have various battle cries. Sometimes they scream “Braap!” or “Beep!” because people don’t hear them coming. But mostly they just ride around with a maniacal grin on their face and make electric whirring sounds. Sometimes they enjoy a nice, affordable shrubbery.

Dang! I can see why your boots would snag. What brand are they? That's some serious armor plate. You fighting gladiators these days? Or just jousting on your Alta against the other Knights of the Electric Iron Horse?

Did we ever get VIN #s for those stolen bikes?

It is definitely flatter than the stock seat. I don’t anticipate it will make a lot of difference side to side, as I am usually standing, but we’ll see. Mostly for when going really slow or stopped.

Would love to. But it might be a while before we can ride here in Cali. All Off Hiway parks are closed, state parks, national forests, etc. At least here in the Bay Area, there aren’t really any open spaces that we can ride within a reasonable distance, and all the cool areas are private...
