MrX have you seen this? All-electric dual sport for under $10k.

I do remember looking at those awhile back. An electric would be great for off road, just for the peaceful quiet and, I would think, a much better chance of seeing wildlife. I suppose a better chance of hitting wildlife, too, but I'd take me chances.
 
Rode to the pharmacy during lunch to replenish my supply of brain pills. On the way back, I get stuck at the corner of Queen and Bathurst because of construction. Those of you who know Toronto know that Queen/Bathurst is the HQ of a diverse group of homeless people. They just hang out there and harmlessly do their thing.

So this giant black guy starts slowly walking towards me with a blank expression on his face. Oh noes.

He gets within a foot of me and I'm about to tell him that I don't have any change.

He raises his arm.

Fistbump.

I'm a real badass.

If it's a really nice day out, and I'm in the mountains with no other Harley drivers around, about 30% of them will wave to me and my silly yellow bike. That number drops to below 10% in less ideal conditions.

Must be around 90% for non-Harley riders. What a bunch of snobs those Harley owners are.
 
Also, non-helmeted Harley riders seem much more likely to wave if you also don't have a helmet on.

"Hi, dumbass! I'm a dumbass, too! Doesn't the wind feel great blowing through your hair?"
