Proper 2-Wheel tune... From back when Satch still had hair...

Fortunately, that's the price for the Equinox....as if that was any consolation. The $1100 bill for tires & a battery this week on just 1 vehicle, is plenty.

12f this morning.....but a ton of blue sky to be had. Spent $250 on a new battery for the Equinox today....then another $850 this Friday for some new tires. Should see delivery of the new shifter for the Mullet tomorrow...

Hats off to this guy....he was an awesome 1-man show who's life was cut short too soon. Pretty awesome to be on the front row start of a GP race....with a bike powered by an outboard! https://youtu.be/ERVnARABzrM?si=u3xsbrStdnHM6VBg

Riding in the liquid sunshine is child's play....

Pretty sweet Yamaha Emtb.....but easily twice as much as the one I just bought.

14f here this morning....can you say Crispy Cold? Off to ID tomorrow morning for the misses' semi-annual Dr's. appointment.... our dogs will be happy as they get to go as well.

New Bike genre?....

The terrain & 50 lbs. of weight come into play there somewhere.... Sensibility vs. real-world results I guess.

It really depends on what Pedal-Assist level you're on & how much throttle is used @ those levels. Top speed with pedal-assist is 28mph....which is more than Yamaha's ebikes. Yamaha has been making ebikes since '93 & I seriously looked into getting one....until I ran across this Beast w/ better specs, & suspenders...for less than half the price.

Battery technology is always improving...

Seem to remember something about 30+ hrs.

That title oughta get Pete's attention.... But to his dismay, my new Mullet is NOT on top of my head.... it's actually the model name of this 2024 CyberBike eMtB I treated myself to just before Christmas. Most Emtb's crank around 85nm of torque as a typical spec....this gem puts out 130nm of torque....it get's right with the program! It comes with a 29" front wheel while the rear is a 27.5".....so, following dirtbike type geometry more & more. I had to cough up an extra $348 for an electronic LH shifter, which I should have early next week. Then I can finish off stream-lining the handlebar to make it a bit easier to operate w/ my hook. With 4-piston hydraulic calipers @ both ends....anodised hubs, 34mm fork, & a 1x10 gearset....there won't be much of anyplace this beast can't tackle. Better brakes than all 25 motorcycles I've owned! Thing'll stop as well as it goes... It even came with tools to finish the assembly process. It has 5 pedal-assist levels that can also be operated with a LH thumb throttle....so I should be able to ride UP my steep driveway....sitting down on the saddle.

Those turn indicators definitely don't look factory.... Fun lookin' ride--

The southside of the Elkhorn Mtn. range....towards Sumpter...

Probably due to the addition of liquid-cooling.....radiator, plumbing, etc. Knowing how light the 550 chassis is..... I bet it goes like stink!

For those last minute beer runs....just take a back-pack w/ ya....
