Zero HQ
« on: October 21, 2013, 03:54:51 AM »

Yesterday I was riding my Triumph around the Santa Cruz Mountains looking for pumpkin roadkill (still too early for that) and rode into the little town of Scotts Valley for a break.  And what do you know?  I stumbled across Zero's new HQ offices/factory that they moved into earlier this year.  Being a Saturday, the place was locked up, but I do like the frontage landscaping and the lobby decorations seem appropriate .   ???  Oddly, they seem to have two main entrances.  Maybe one is for the kitchen help.   ;)   Photo attached.

And the east entrance.  At least they both have the same address.   ;)

Interesting. Looks like new side plastics - wonder if those are prototype pieces or will be the final design. Kind of hoping they're prototypes : )

Well, at least they don't have any BNG (Bold New Graphics) - yet.   ;)

To my eye, every new Zero model year keeps looking better than the previous year.  But the exterior design is evolving very slowly.  It is going to take  a long time before they start looking as nice as an MV sportbike.   :)  (Not that I would actually want to ride one for very long.     ::)  )
