Hoping to hit 1000 by December.
Electric Cars and Motorcycles
Would you drive in one of these?

I dunno. I disagree with the it's safer than a motorcycle argument. I'm not sure I want to be crushed in small steel box.
I'll take riding with Betty any day over something like that. But as a car person, someone may like that more than a regular car.

2013 Suzuki Motorcycles
Well, at least it looks much better than before. Maybe because it's a dark color? That lame white/blue concoction when they first introduced the SFV in 2009 was horrific! I don't know if they were trying to appeal to female riders or what, but it was hideous.
I haven't ridden one, and I'd certainly love to, just to compare it to the older generation models. I absolutely positively LOVE my SV. It does a little bit of everything really well. Just the fact that the SFV only has a 3.1 gallon (the SV has 4.5!) tank is enough for me to not like it. Not sport touring friendly. That's what's so awesome about the SV. It's a great touring bike!
I'm so glad I have one now, because if I had to buy a new Suzuki today, the only one I would consider (not necessarily buy, but just consider) buying is a VStrom.
Luckily there are plenty of used SVs to go around....
You can check out the entire 2013 lineup for Suzuki on their website. Meh.
National Plug In Day, San Francisco 2012
(riding up California Street towards Powell Street)
Today I rode out to Crissy Field on my Brammo with Crystal and Don from Scuderia West, as well as a few other Brammo riders to make a presence at the National Plug In Day event hosted by Nissan. It's always great telling people how much fun it is to ride one around the City.
