Brammo Fool: 3800 mile road trip on an electric motorcycle with a 42 mile range - Page 4 - ElMoto.net

I tried Nathan's "idiot" page, but it doesn't seem to work. Anyone else having the same problem?

Understood. I was just trying to think of a sentence with the words watt, current and copper for the little pun game that was occuring when I woke up this morning.

Joe, wasn't working for me earlier either.

Nathan? Update? Pictures? Meaningless banter? Anything?

i did the math on that(couldn't resist)...
54 hours of driving at 65mph, stops every 40miles (ideal situation), 4-6hrs of charging each stop, thats 340+/- hrs of charging...
My suggestion, plan to stop at a museum,bar,hotel(with a bar),head shop,cafe,restaurant,brothel..etc you get the idea but damn dude GOOD LUCK!!

Apologies for going off radar. Here's a quickie...

Landed in Portland last night. Dog tired. Raining. Cabbed 2.2 miles to meet David, the Brammo rep @ Best Buy, & handle paperwork. The bike looks awesome, btw... Then I had a Guinness at the hotel bar & sacked out.

Right now, they're giving the bike a very thorough pre-3800 mile road trip exam (moooon river, using the whole fist doc?). I'll be heading over in just a few to pick it up & give it a spin. Little chilly but otherwise, the weather's fine. After the inaugural voyage, i'm coming back to crack the laptop & bust out that blog. Promise.
