Yesterday... “Tremaine continued his strong night with a fourth-place finish, the best ever for an electric powered motorcycle.” Haaker Dominates Costa Mesa EnduroCross

I called the one I rode a toy. A small, light "toy" is a good application for the course in the vid. We all know the power delivery is better for that kinda terrain. Good stuff.

is there a flyer for the event? I can post it on BARF and SBR...

Eric's bike in the lead story...

The bikes are pretty tough, eh?

So I have short legs and pretty much can't touch the ground anyhow... I have been concerned about dropping the bike on a rock in a bad way. Wool, last Monday, I stopped where I could not hold up the bike and dropped it pretty hard on the starboard side, the motor/ gear reduction case hitting a...

Shiftless is the first dirtbike I have ever had insurance on. Some years ago some yahoo who hit me by flying across the main trail upon which I was traveling. It could have been ugly including death and dismembersjip. We were lucky. This was at the Hollister State park, where the vehicle code...

I pretty much always ride in Map 3. Stock gearing, but I put an 18 inch wheel on it. My BARF post from a couple days ago: Hollister yesterday, Eric, SpeedKills and me, three (3) Altas, an EX, MXR and an MX. We turned heads in our silence. Range is always the question. Eric quit at about two...

I just put on the third rear and second front tires; Metzler Six Days Extreme, as recomended by Eric. Also updated the software. Two things to change the range capability. Yesterday we rode Hollister, the ususl loops. Peets, Jays, the Renz. Didn’t get to Troll. Eric has a new Alta EX. He...

Eric just updated my software and new tires. He says it will increase my range. Ride to depleation test upcoming. Last highest recorded was 43 miles. I think i can beat that.

Typical: unplug, lube chain, load, drive a half hour to Metcalf (or an hour to Hollister), ride for 40 miles, three hours of single or near singletrack, load, drive home, unload, plug in, open beer... repeat. Occasionally I wash it. Once properly, actually, when it went in for one year service/...

Ha! Mine was the first (Eric’s doesn’t really count) and it was $16,365; 2017 MX #000019 from SF Alta, October 25, 2016. I just couldn’t wait. Just to be fair, the Alta guys have given me a bunch of stuff to make feel better. The FasterFaster tee shirt is really good for going to the supermarket...

Nice. I only have BARF stickies on my bikes. I would put altaownersforum.com stickies on Shiftless, and perhaps Zippy (E36 ZHP), if they were available.

I try to record the mileage and hours most everytime I ride. Yesterday was 31 miles, 2.5 hrs, a quarter tank of electrons remaining. It is telling data. I have new underwear, er, firmware, so I am hot to see what is different. Yeah, I have new underwear too. Oh yeah, I am coming to understand...

tis a great story... Quiet Bikes Have Advantages - BARF - Bay Area Riders Forum

Cool story bro. OK if I copy some bits and post them on BARF & SBR? Linky to here too. Maybe ADVRider to get some mileage.

Sally the wifey has a Whill electric wheelchair that is crazy to drive in map 4, especially with an iPhone. Just say’n. I ride the Alta in map 3 pretty exclusively. Just trails though.

Re the e ride... I rode one. They are cute. And cuddly. The Alta is a weapon. The KTM is a toy. Nice toy. Awesome beginner bike.

nice. you should get Judaslaforbe (sp?) to comment. H's an Alta factory guy.
