What I’ve Been Up To

I haven't been able to post in quite awhile, and now isn't a good time either. Still, it's best to get the bullet points out there. Sidecar racing will happen this year.

Yamaha Entering US eBike Market

By 2018 Yamaha US plans to offer complete e-bikes, upping their game from the motor and battery kits they currently sell in other markets.

First Impression: NUVIZ Heads Up Display

During the Veterans Charity Ride this August I was given a NUVIZ heads up unit to try out.
