Almost down the mountain, about 25 miles each way.
The Grande Ronde is in sight.

Second leg of the event is to let this feller grill us some burgers at the restaurant in Troy.

And the third leg of the trip is a quick float on the Grande Ronde with a couple crik beers to cool off before riding back up the mountain.

Fires of 2000 remnants. Almost all the dead are now down. The light rain the day before had their typical gray look turned to a more shiny silver up close. There's always goodies out there that we happen upon with curious eyes...

So a dude up the street has a Talaria Sting that he let me ride. He upgraded the pegs and went with a different rear sprocket.

Talaria Sting R MX4

Cutting edge dirt bike. Most powerful and longest range in its class at a ground breaking price.

He talked like it was crazy fast, but I thought it was pretty slow..it was at 65% charge.

They make an after-market ESC, battery, and motor for the Talaria that will burn the knobs off in a flat second. The stock bike isn't that impressive on pavement but def does the shop in the dirt. its way faster than you think on single track.

It felt more like an ebike than an emoto. I could see it being fun, but the Ultra has more kick stock.

I've taken a fancy to the ride-share mopeds we've got in this town, fer putzin' around on errands and shit. I imagine the electric thrust experienced from one of these machines is like riding a Brutale.

Surprised as German manufacturers seem to have an excellent track record in this area.https://jalopnik.com/bmw-stops-sale-of-gas-powered-motorcycles-in-the-u-s-o-1850862871

I will sell mine this Spring, but I found a Chinese supplier that claims $1400 shipped, so I might take a chance on that. PayPal will cover it, so I can't get scammed, but I could bag a sweet deal, or just get one in Beaverton for $4k at the dealer.

No idea if this has been posted, but figured this was the best thread.

I have never seen anything like this.
Is it production which is my guess or back shed?
