The best t-shirt I've seen on a biker had this printed on the back: If you can read this, my b$$ch fell off.
Biker crowd may not be the most PC group out there.

Not relative to HD, but I think the idea of an electric motorcycle is great. I can imagine a ride on a nice calm, sunny day to be that much more relaxing with almost no noise except the wind. Of course I think it needs to be able to recharge to 80% or so in 10-15 minutes, and there needs to be a much more robust charging network. It would be cool to see charging stations at restaurants where you could get 100% in the span of a half hour meal.
Saw a guy wearing one once that said "37,000 battered women in the US, and all this time I've been eating mine plain"
Get a gold wing. You can hear the birds on the side of the highway singing if there is no other traffic. There is an option now where one can get the model with some exhaust noise vs the standard quiet model.
Never had a problem with any harley folks. I was always the black sheep with the Honda though. Was the butt of their harley only conversations. lol.
Speaking of that, the guys I rode with on occasion were Satan's Angels. Black Harley riders out of Kansas City. The president of the group was my next door neighbor in an apartment complex. Heavyweight golden gloves Army champ, and a bull rider in black rodeos. Huge man.
I was the token white boy and they never let me forget it. Gotta love the 70's.
Back on track a bit, I hope everyone goes electric. It comes from somewhere, I'll drop a hint, it ain't solar or wind.
No way my wife would go for that nonsense (nor would I want her too) The best thing about her is that she doesn't need me for a darn thing. as odd as it sounds she WANTS to be with me!

At $50K starting price on a Jeep Wrangler 4xe and $30K starting price for a H-D LiveWire, I think their marketing / sales departments better be working overtime.
While I'm on-board with the whole vehicle electrification production, at these price-points the sales will be the snob appeal of owning one.
Practically all my life I've been riding motorcycles. Can't imagine I could of found better people to spend my time with....in good times and bad.
Watched Long Way Up a while back. The two brits that made motorsickle overlanding popular in Long Way Round decided to ride electric Harleys from Argentina to LA. Rivian got involved, they supposedly put chargers everywhere along the route and gave them two ev chase trucks, it seemed like an impossible task. Especially since the livewire bikes only have a maximum 130-mile range.
By the time they hit columbia, things weren't adding up. One bike suffered a software problem, HD flew to Costa Rica to fix it. Back on the road, while the same color, it was obvious he was riding a different bike, but they insisted HD fixed the original.
Come to find out, it's pretty well documented by social media that while the show presented two Rivians and two electric harleys making the trip, it was two Rivians, four electric harleys, two sprinter vans, and two f-350's hauling 3-phase diesel generators.
