    Harley goes electric

    Dude built a "Harley" prototype electric bike

    Probably unofficial? If so, he'll get clobbered by their lawyers.
    How many of you Harley guys will be putting in an order??

    As if the Neanderthals that ride Harleys(and can't even accept overhead cams) know what electricity is.

    Within about 20 years[1], I predict HD will make bikes that look, sound, and ride pretty much exactly like the bikes they sell today. Except that underneath the chrome-plated finned cylinder heads (or what look like ones) that vibrate furiously at idle, they'll run on 100% electricity.

    I'm sure they'll also make bikes with more "modern" styling - some variants will be under the HD logo, some under their other brands. And I'm sure they'll continue to make fossil-fuel powered bikes for as long as they're legally and financially able to.

    [1]+/- 10 years either way

    The seat padding looks like a loofah glove.

    You can exfoliate your as* as your ride

    Well as long as you wear buttless chaps.
