From your plane? I've never seen one other then in a picture.

Compared to the completion, that 15 to 22K price surprises me they sold any.

It doesn't even look like a Harley.

Sorta looks like a Sport bike dropping a torpedo. Flat black that and it's cool for a rich person.

It was at the back in a sea of used bikes. No price tag that I could see. Not interested enough to inquire. But yes, the only one that I have seen in the flesh.

I always feel bad about this section on the forum, so I thought I would spice it up.

So far we are probably not helping.

I picked up a new Alpinista about a week ago. It's a fantastic machine for commuting to work over back roads and freeways—about 14 miles each way. Its size makes it really easy to maneuver in traffic.

It's worth considering if you have the means and want to enjoy some serious torque on your commute.

I'd love to have an Alpinista!.. I haven't ridden one or even seen one yet but from the video reviews and how they're advertised they sure sound fantastic to me also.

Kinda looks like Harley attached a “bunker busting bomb” to the bottom!

To me it sort of looks like an old Hercules Wankel https://www.mecum.com/lots/1129275/1...aa_id=650071-0

Our neighbor bought some sort of electric BMW, looks full size but has small tires. Totally silent so it seems dangerous that nobody can hear it. IDK, certainly not my thing. I don't think the Livewire looks that bad, much better than whatever this BMW is.
