I was planning my cultural program for this fall. AIMExpo in Columbus, OH in September, Overland Expo in Arrington, VA in October, and maybe even EICMA in Milan, Italy in November, if I win the lottery. I miss the Italian food. I accidentally came across the Overland Expo ticket sales. The...

Sorry, Rick. It takes a lot of concentrated effort to achieve this! You do not have what it takes to get banned here. Seriously though... nobody gets banned here unless they are really trying and ignoring multiple warnings. You are right. @Edabdo -- Read the Forum, take all the safety...

Totally disagree. Horsepower is king. Any large torque number can be achieved by simply gearing down. It's not the peak HP that matters though. It is the average horsepower over the actually used RPM range that matters. Nobody talks about this because it is not easy to measure, but this is...

Makes me wonder whether our bikes have 40/50 hp bursts or continuous. The dyno pulls that I did were less than 10 seconds in duration each.

Do not drain the battery fully. This would over-drain and possibly damage the cells that are in the same group as the disconnected cell. Take the battery apart and solder that broken wire bond with a soldering iron. Use a copper wire instead of aluminum. There is no need to have fuse wires on...

It could be that the dealer updated the firmware right before the sale. Not sure if they can still update the firmware though. Can the dealer laptops store the latest firmware and upload it to bikes without connecting to the Alta server? It could also be that they have cleared the codes and...

The picture shows "BOOOM Bee" with three O's. I do not care about the number of O's, but who the hell calls a full-size motorcycle a "Bee"?

Plastic is now available for purchase. Liquid Performance is our official Forum's Sponsor!

I hate cutting grass. It's a waste of time and it is usually an obnoxiously loud and smelly process. This thing makes it look like fun. Can it do wheelies??

Looking at the video of that guy clearing a medium triple it could be a 250cc equivalent (40hp). On the track the bike looks more like an Alta rather than a Freeride.

I meant that 250cc equivalents do not have just 20hp.

Something doesn't add up by a factor of 2x. Are they making an Alta competitor or a Freeride competitor? Or maybe a lighter and cheaper Zero? LOL.

Makes me want to travel to EICMA. I happened to be there once before, back in 2013. Lots of pretty female models sitting on motorcycles. I think I saw one with no underwear. I was about to propose to her but the madame kicked her out before I had a chance.

Everyone keeps commenting on the typos in the presentation. Hope this video stays up longer than a few days.

There! Liquid Performance is our official Forum's Sponsor!

Greetings and salutations, Alta Owners! I am proud to announce Liquid Performance (represented by Ayden @ayden_kry) as our official Forum's Sponsor! A few months ago, Liquid Performance bought the remaining Alta Motors inventory. They would like to inform and reassure the Alta community that...

I have the PSA, just waiting for an approval from the sponsor. Let me send him a reminder...

Cold and hot temperatures are not good for our batteries. There is a stickie at the top of this sub-forum about this exact topic: Battery care -- winter riding and hibernation

Yep. That's the race! Ironman MotoGP – Delta Raceway Despite the exhaustion, I still loved it though. It is a great feeling to be pulling into my driveway late Sunday morning, having already ridden the bike as much as I wanted to, with most of the day still ahead of me, with no care in the...

Just realized it today. The worst part of bringing two bikes to a racetrack is that you then have to wash twice as many bikes.
