That sort of wet clay is shit on any sort of tires though. Like even aggressive soft hard Enduro tires, the minute that stuff clumps and sticks into the treads, your tires are gonna suck. That stuff is awful shit to ride in.

Yeah except it’s all fun and games until someone gets hungry and needs to eat. There, the problem begins all over again.

It’s actually what’s keeping this whole AI bubble propped up. And what’s making it get more bubbly. I’ll extend you hardware on margin but only if it’s my hardware and I’ll just keep doing that over and over until the musical chairs stop. You buy hardware that you don’t pay for and I sell it to you for imaginary money and the investors reward us for that with money thats mostly debt and that’s what keeps people dancing around and around and around…

It’s almost like if everyone would quit blowing their load over every game reveal and preordering themselves into oblivion and quit chasing shiny new things all the time and hoarding…well it’s almost like the old trad rules of supply and demand would almost, dare I say, kick in?

Alas.

What does that thing weigh is my very first question.

Also these ev guys and their ranges are never believable. I’ve owned multiple evs now, and none of them have gotten near advertised range. I always cut 25% as a rule from marketing bloat.

Even still 400km range would be huge. But if the thing weighs 800 lbs, maybe not so huge.

Edit: Devil’s in the details. According to their website the specified 600km is a “city range,” probably going 15km/hr. Highway range is 315km, with a 170lb rider going 90km/hr in perfect conditions (which never applies to a motorcycle). Realistically thats going to be under 200km. For $40k USD, and the bike weighs 520lbs btw (which isn’t the end of the world).

I don’t have range anxiety as much as I would have wallet anxiety here. I’ll just stick with my gas bike, thank you very much. 1000nm torque would be hilarious, but that would be over $50k for me in Canada, and that’s not so hilarious.

Add another flop to the table.
