Yeah, the revenue from this ride alone is amazing, and a substantial portion goes towards the gravel roads preservation efforts. A very good cause to support. The organizations and sponsors hosting the ride are top notch and the professional setup - including a massive start and finish arch -...

The official count was 1,009 riders in the gravel road charity ride yesterday. No other way of saying it ...that is a whopping amount of bikes. To prevent a massive crush start, each rider had been given a choice of time slots for their distance with the 213 80 mile riders heading out first in...

No apologies needed because you were absolutely right - Hollywood does glorify the motorcycle as an extension of "the bag guys". Just think "Terminator" with Arnold Schwarzenegger. 😁

Not all of us, Stefan!😁 My motorcycle and I had lots of fun adventures, and explored lots of new places, when I was in my 20s, although for the most part it was basically just my main transportation to get to the boarding barn 20+ miles away so I could ride my horse. I still miss that thrill of...

Thank you. 💕 No babysitting yet as the new parents are still besotted with their tiny offspring and go everywhere as a trio. They do send new photos everyday to an electronic picture frame they gifted me on Mother's Day (it's logged into the Net) so I can watch a daily influx of new photos of...

Thanks. That's sweet.😊 I had been biking almost every day prior to last week in preparation for the upcoming summer charity bike rides, but somehow not finding the time to write. Life has become very busy, including me becoming a grandma for the first time, so the seconds and minutes of each...

Bike time has dropped to zero lately, no thanks to the Canadian fires smoke overlaying the eastern seaboard of the US courtesy of the prevailing winds. We're under a health alert for poor air quality (in some cases bordering on dangerous) with no end in sight as yet. We are in the the thick...

My Ariya is rated at 130kW fast charging speed. Haven't seen that yet - the fastest has been 110kW thus far. It also maintains a flat line charge until the battery hits 97%. At that point the charging speed drops down into the double digits, and then single digits when it hits 99%. I almost...

Sweet! What battery range and trim do you have?

That sign should say "CHARGING ONLY" not Parking. You know some dufus will think "Park" means just that. And then do it, and walk off.😐

ICE blocking happened at my Nissan dealership a few times, and once where I pulled in at an out of state dealership. I simply walked in and politely asked the sales manager if they knew who was parked in the charging area and if that person wouldn't mind moving to let me charge. My request was...

It's funny how EV trips tend to be planned with charging station locations in mind. I noticed EVgo stations tend to be congregated in the suburban and urban areas. In between it's a desert. Would not want to travel in a electric car with less than a 300 mile range, and yet I never go below 30%...

2 years is a sweet deal, but not the limited factor. Are those 30 minute sessions once a day, or can you do multiple sessions per day? I got 1 years free unlimited fast charging with EVgo for my Ariya. I only use it on trips, tho. Almost all my charging is from home (solar). I'd use the EVgo...

Nissan no longer has the tax breaks as well. I missed the credit by just 3 weeks when I got my Ariya. Had the reservation holder not dragged their feet answering the dealership as to whether they wanted the car or not (they reserved it a year ago - it arrived in December but they were out of the...

Some fun stats on my recent production (solar array - the orange bar below the line) and consumption (navy blue bar above the line) in regards to charging the electric car after two long distance trips. The daily bar chart usage is usually from the electric car, especially when I'm racking up...

And yet Scientific American did not spend, as I did, over 2 decades researching and writing articles for two national carriage and driving magazines, plus several local publications. My husband and I have a carriage collection we began in 1980. Our oldest vehicle is a 1871-1872 coil spring road...

Yet the word is the only relevant one for when horses, as a whole, were replaced by machines. The cities themselves were not the "benchmark" for the automobile takeover because they were historically more suitable for a car than a horse . Horses required a huge amount of infrastructure - feed...

Absolutely. Which is why my Leaf came with "Zero Emissions" badging on both sides and the back. I thought Nissan was just advertising they were gas free with this electric car, only to find out later that badging all the way around was mandated as an alert to firemen, in the case of a fire...

News outlets began reporting in late August 2022 that more than 280,000 Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride SUVs were being recalled due to a fire risk. The fire risk is reportedly related to faulty trailer hitch wiring harnesses that can short circuit when debris collects on a circuit board...

All our vehicles have always been garaged . Hypothetically speaking, if your gasoline car accidentally, through no fault of your own, caught fire while housed in your garage, would your HO insurance pay for damages? It would. Same applies to electric cars. When the Chevrolet Bolt had the...
