here is the 18 pack

I like the giant loop saddle bag thing, it can take lots of weight, even strapped on external. It's easy to keep tight and stable through the tube in the frame, looped 'round the bracket

The pics are of a big bag of dog food held by the top strap, and a 18pack of rolling rock in the side pod, you can fit one in each side and a 12 pack in the center if you really wanted. It comes with 3 dry packs which have come in really handy as liners in my other commuting backpack.

this is the smaller of the 2 bags of this type they make, the bigger one may fit even better as the U shape is a bit bigger and might fit over the seat even better..

Progressive insurance bill renewal came,
Liability to others 25k/50k - $65
uninsured motorist 25kp/50ka - $96
uninsured motorist property damage 10k - $18
Comprehensive -includes total loss - $107
Collision -total loss - $305
$3000 of accessory coverage included

$522/year paid in full State: WA

It's worth it to me to have lots of coverage.

My commute is 35 miles a day round trip atm, I could if I was careful do 3 days on a charge - just barely. but getting home with 2%-4% is a bit nerve racking still.. funny, I brought my fast charger on day 3 when I left with less than 27% (need ~32% to be comfy not driving careful) but forgot the J1772 adapter grr. lucky I had my regular cord with me, so i just went and ate a footlong while it slow charged up to where I could get home with 2% - an extra 1:20; the sub shop with free charging is another 5 miles added to the round trip since its south and I go north =P

or I can plug in every night and not worry at all. The fast charger is great for road trips though.

I would be very interested to know what they plan to do in the reported scenario, underground/multilevel parking garages. where there is no possibility of any signal even thru mesh networks of other cars. I would assume some sort of encrypted key would not require any network attachment, as long as the car has the key, which should be no problem for the owner, only renters.

That fact also makes me wonder what tesla is doing if the car could be stranded ... this is the first time I've heard of such a thing...

where they have
no cell service.

OT - I know that a machine shop is working on a satellite antenna that is embedded in the roof of the car for a self driving car from a major manufacturer.

I've been thinking about other things that they could use that for, I bet the car could be a hotspot on whatever networks (Bluetooth, WiFi) they want for passenger verification with a phone even away from cell networks, assuming a smartphone of some sort with a encrypted key that was downloaded when they hired the car.

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / DS - DSR tires What have you tried?
« on: January 09, 2018, 01:39:44 PM »
I just got a pair of Pirelli Scorpion Trail II tires hoping to improve the cold wet traction, they are rated pretty high for wet traction and I can't wait to get 'em mounted since it rains nearly every day in the winter here.
They were relatively affordable from revzilla. The stock ones are def slipping on these cold wet streets and tar lines...

Anyone tried these?

I got the same go to the dealer for update on my app as well. 2017 DSR

I was thinking there was a intermediate firmware update I didn't install and that was the reason. Perhaps not though... I just saw that go to the dealer the other day for the first time.

Can you imagine the amount of battery power that truck must be carrying, what the batteries must weigh and how long they would take to charge

-I've seen estimates of 800kWh on board smaller options avail

-400 miles in 30 min as your truck loads/unloads or at other MegaCharger stations

-1.6MWh charger at a promised price of $0.07/kWh sourced green for tesla trucks

as for ease of maintenance, here is the Entire drive train, 2 engines/gearboxes per axle unit. Super clean for a manufacturing prototype.

Obviously they've got it figured out, with a 0-60 time of 1.9 seconds!

That makes everything I've ever seen seem slow. Wow Have your head back indeed Good Advice!.
