You need to change out that P-Car for the proper color:

 

does the other one count??

 

i get told this as well..

 

Whats that exhaust pack? I thought about upgrading but here in California the options are limited.

 

Was just thinking about this on my ride.. want to challenge everyone to make a video. Whether you bungee cord your phone to your chest or have an actual setup.. lets see some riding. Doesn't have to be interesting.. could be just going to the store, or it could be going across the state.

Go!

 

Yeah, that's acceptable...

 

I had the Akrapovic carbon fiber full exhaust and the one pictured is the titanium full exhaust. Also had a PC-V, and BMC air filter

 

Someday I'll get a 911 type. This was all I could afford, at the time.

This was at Sears Point getting some track time, and instruction.

 

How much did it change the sound? Can't have it too loud. Don't want to draw too much attention. Any performance change?
This is only my second bike. Still a bit of a nOObie.

 

wow Donnie check that out we have more in common than we thought...

little fun fact, i too lived in the bay area for some years...

 

Getting my gear together and getting ready to take out the bike.

 

Nice. I bet the torque is out of control. How long can you ride on a full charge and how long does it take to recharge?

The TQ is ungodly. Scary in fact since I want to live and not lift the front end every time off the line. But it’s got a few “modes” which you can (and I have) programmed off my phone via BT interface. There is from the factory eco, sport and intense type modes. I’ve dialed them all back so I get the longest battery life I can. I am not a long distance rider with this but I am more out to cruise and play for a few hours. Never kill the battery but It’s all dependent on how you ride it. If your just out cruising and the Regen braking is working most of the time it’s pretty rad. A few hours kinda thing. If your in the hills of CA and hammering down, obviously it’s way way less. This bike doesn’t have an onboard charger because it was designed for short distance more of a toy dirt bike versus some of the other Zero bikes.

I’ll tell you the most enjoyable thing about this bike is no noise. Only chain on sprocket. It’s a very neat sensation.

 

So, something very odd happened while I was out riding. I was sitting in the right turn lane at a traffic light (red for me) and oncoming traffic was making the left turn. In one of the vehicles, the passenger rolled down the window and dropped a golf ball onto the road, and it bounced off the curb and ended up in my path. It was so expertly done that I wonder if it was some kind of bizarrely mean gesture toward me. It seemed more deliberate than somebody just doing some stupid and random act of littering. Anyway, I saw it of course, avoided it and went on my way.

 

No

 

Noise of a motorcycle is enjoyable to me.

 

I think I have a FZ wedged in there somewhere. My daughter recently learned how to say "seat" so she likes to point them out every chance she gets.
