Title: Damon is paying for ads on Youtube?

I wonder about advertising unconnected from a round of funding or actually shipping...

Well, what are you wondering about?

The next step after they open the US Canada boarder is to have test ride events.  Of course they want to have as many riders at each event as they can.  Thus a bit of targeted ad space for EV and motorcycle video watching public.

As for funding they just got $30 million to gear up for test rides team hiring and production.

Now purely my opinion: With the Covid set back the late 2021 founders bikes and 2022 deliveries may be pushed back.  I could see it happen and I'd understand.  Again just my thinking and not a statement from Damon.


Edit:  Wait, are you saying this video is popping up in other videos as an ad, or did you just see this pop up on the side as recommended for you?  The video you have here is just off Damon's YT channel.

Yes, this is showing up as an advertisement.

Ok, when I watched it and saw it was from Damon's YT channel I wanted to make sure.

Now that that part is cleared up did my other statement satisfy your original wondering?  :)

It was more an open question.  Do you know when the events are?

And a claimed $30 million in investments so far. Now where did I put my Skully AR-1 HUD helmet?  ::)

Crissa, like they said they can't do anything until they open the border.  After that, if you have signed up for a test ride then they will email you when they come near your area.  If they post a map schedule I'll post it here.

Richard, no not $30 million total.  They just got another investment of $30 million.  Money wise they are okay.

Also, there are multiple people who have custom fabbed cowls for their Zeros, so why is it supposedly a fake?

The bike has been shown in public doing the shifting motion.  They have a prototype, anyone saying they don't shouldn't be here.

What they don't have are production bikes.

Geez.
