    Bought mxr

    You might have to wait a while to get one for $6K. But I think $7K is not out of the ballpark for a used MXR. How much patience do you have?

    Alta powered Honda Grom

    Impressive! I linked this thread in Builds as well. Can't wait to see this thing running. With its lighter weight and smaller frontal area this Grom could end up being faster than the SM and with a longer range, if the new gearing doesn't mess up the electric motor's efficiency too much.

    Damn! I was thinking about moving to Brazil, but now I might have to move to Israel instead!

    Lowering the suspension AER 48

    Now we are talking! We agree on everything, except I do not like the weeble analogy because the physics is totally different there.

    Lowering the suspension AER 48

    This thing wobbles like the weeble. It does have a small kickstand but it stands vertically without it. Same idea as the weeble. Its CG is not in the contact patch, but it is below the center of the tire's lower cross-section. This is because it has wide and relatively flat tires. This...

    Lowering the suspension AER 48

    Oh, I get it. The weeble wobble wants to stand up because its CG is below the center of the ball. if it rolls then the CG goes up. This is not the case with motorcycles.

    Lowering the suspension AER 48

    I am not following the analogy, but "leverage" is the correct word. It takes less effort to steer the front wheel and lean the bike if the distance from the contact patch to the roll axis is longer -- a larger lever. This probably is the case only in turns entries and exits. Or when entering...

    My newly designed Alta T-shirt

    Oh... I thought @revoltlution wanted to just buy a T-shirt. But @Oded is in Israel, so this would become a very expensive shirt then. The cheap way is to do this is use the pic from Post #1 and upload it to Cafepress or similar.

    I can help, if this is what Oded wants to do.

    Area 51 films- quick drone footage

    Maybe the drone's noise was louder than the Alta's. Next time have a helmet GoPro running and substitute the audio tracks.

    Area 51 films- quick drone footage

    Great riding and great camera work! The editing spoiled it a little bit for me though, how they cut most of the jump landings. The very first landing was awesome, but they didn't show the take-off, LOL. And I wish they had the natural audio, else you can't even tell it's electric.
