Its not guess they doing it on electric HD. You can see Charlie is not enjoying it so far entire journey is about getting to next charging point 40 miles away at speeds of 30 mph on lovely roads. Only person on bike having fun there so far is camera man on petrol bike. Not selling me on it. However that pickup track fact they build 2 in 2 weeks. That looks cool.

However good overall, Ewan no mention of divorce yet....

Massive and real world ranges then

Possibly better off with Zeros and extender packs, no serious off road stuff on this one then. Wasn't it lucky someone just happened to put in some charge points along their route to actually make it possible.

I am actually still thinking about fxs zero but can't find any guidance on pcp costs. Also 2y old ones are 7k so wondering if one can have the faster charger on the older.

I have heard from someone I know who is kind of affiliated with Zero that they turned them down.

Bit like KTM did along with Honda (but that wasn't made public for some reason) on their original trip.

There's a Zero dealership not far from me so I plan to have a demo ride on a couple of models as soon as I get some time.
