I have co-workers who currently ride Harleys. I am happy for them, and they seem to enjoy riding them. I don't have a motorcycle at the moment, but I've owned several including a Honda 750, and I've ridden a Zero Model-S. I got my M1 license in 1976, and all of them were an absolute delight to ride.
The longest ride I've been on was Los Angeles to San Diego. It took about two hours each way. At the end of each leg, I was ready to get off, stretch my legs and have a nice meal and a beer with a friend, maybe looking out over a beach on a fresh sunny spring day.
I've heard that some Harley owners will ride up to four hours or so and then stop to fill up, which takes only five minutes if you are in a hurry. I have so many good things going on that I really don't have time to try and convince someone else that something that they like is bad, and that...they should like what I like.
Slowly...some of the people who had a motorcycle that burns gasoline, are buying a motorcycle that uses electricity.
Have you ever met a guy who has a 1968 Triumph 500 that has been meticulously restored, and he rides it often? I suppose you could try to tell him that there are new 500cc motorcycles that have 10 more horsepower, and really grippy disc brakes, plus it doesn't leak oil and it has an electric starter. But...for some reason he just keeps thinking he's happy with that old Triumph.
I don't know why he clings to that, but I can tell you he's a really fun person to spend time with, and to talk to. I hope Zero continues to be successful, and I hope a lot of people take one for a test ride. Every year, quite a few people buy one, and I don't mind that at all...
