Anyone born before me is either old or ancient. Your choice - I don't care, I

need to nap.

I just got CD's latest Newsletter. A couple of interesting rides coming up, one to the Americana Car Show, New Plymouth 28/02. Saturday Ride if anyone else is keen.

Better aged than marinade,shit not talking about steak are we?

Perhaps Harley are in cohoots with transit,they get to replace belts more per capita in NZ than anywhere else,because of the chip surface.

You can laugh (and tbh "ruin" is the right word for something that does 35miles and 55mph) but I firmly believe we'll be riding electric motorbikes in our lifetime that compare favourably to current petrol-powered bikes.

You're probably right but they'll need to be able to do 1,000 miles in 24 hours...And I'm not sure how they will be able to build soul into them, will a 2050 Harley Electric Glide still go potato, potato?
