Is there a schedule posted somewhere? The EMXWC event is 4 days long, and there is a conflicting WORCS race in Havasu that I want to attend, but the WORCS race is one day only, most likely Saturday. It would be great to attend both events!

Stark Varg has a ~7 kWh battery. It would be very good to have ~7 kWh of lithium batteries in your trailer so that you could bring a fully charged bike to the track, drain the battery, and then charge it one more time. That would be a very good and long day of riding. Of course, it all depends...

Cool thread! I have been towing a closed cargo trailer behind my camper van. I like it, it gives me more room in the van, but the whole train is longer and heavier. Plusses and minuses in everything, as expected. How did you calculate this, and are they lead-acid or lithium batteries? I won't...

Guts now has 16 colors for that seat cover, LOL. They only had black and white when I was shopping, and the white didn't have good reviews.

Stark Future should integrate LitPro into their bikes! This would justify charging a monthly subscription.

An accurate lap timer would actually be very useful. In the days before LitPro, I had an AiM Solo display and data logger mounted below the handlebar pad on my CRF250. It was very helpful and motivating to see my lap times displayed instantly every lap. Watching my lap times in real time was way...

That's a $400 repair.

Ouch! Yikes. So painful to see. Glad no animals were hurt, or people. Whose bike is this? Yours is white, right?

They surely make it complicated. If your right brake lever doesn't fit your left brake lever upside down, then an aftermarket lever won't fit either.

Hmm... Maybe it is from the KTM Freeride E. I stand corrected! Stark Future website does not have a Brembo image, but I found this picture. I would try a clutch lever for it. It looks like a clutch lever. If the distance from the pivot to the pushrod is ~17mm, then I suspect Brembo-compatible...

They should have just given Alta Motors back to us. It would have been a better financial decision than losing money on these electric unicorns that nobody will buy or use. Some established auto and moto companies wanting to go electric are behaving like the airline industry in the 2000's. They...

Good news: There is no such thing as a "left-hand brake Brembo". They are all clutch master cylinders.

Two years ago, the lap was ~16 miles, I think ???. I got excited and killed my Alta's battery on my first lap out and had to be towed back to the paddock. Next laps, I babied the bike in Map 1, stopped using the brakes, and I was able to finish, but just barely with the battery flashing near...

October 26th & 27th – 24 Hours Of Starvation Ridge Team/Endurance Race. 23rd Anniversary. https://www.overthebarsgang.com/races/

I remember someone suggested that a good long-term storage method would be to remove the battery, put it in a plastic bag, and store it in a deep freezer. In theory, this sounds correct. However, I would be concerned about all the microchips and PCBs that may not be designed for below-freezing...

I have the Pirelli tires with barely any wear on them and one front original inner tube. However, shipping to the Netherlands will cost more than these parts are worth.

I would say the weight is the same. The Alta has a heavier front end, and the Varg has a heavier rear end. You can feel this difference when riding. Lifting the bike onto the bike stand is about the same. The Alta has a low ground clearance, so you have to lift it higher, but the Alta's rear...

More great info on the car and human limits...

Wow! Finally, someone made a (somewhat) production fan car! It has only been 54 years since the Chaparral Can-Am fan car (1970) and just 46 years since the Brabham F1 fan car (1978). It is really interesting to see what engineering decisions went into this. The car is electric, with adjustable...
