They've already been working on the sound issue.  It seems electric cars are too quiet and they are afraid people won't hear them coming; before long there will be speakers in them to generate noise - probably simulated engine noise.  So people's lame Prius can sound like anything they want - a V12, an F1 car - just push the right button.  It will be the ultimate poser bike!  Electric with custom engine sounds: turn down the "idle" to a Shovel lope, program in "shift" points.  The MoCo is still trying to figure out which of their usual engine noises - banging, valve clatter, bearing chirp - to put into the stock program.  Instead of asking what pipes somebody is running, we'll ask what speakers they have on it.

Not trying to hijack the thread, but this made me recall something.  Any of you other "boomers" remember when we were kids, Mattel sold a toy called "V-rroom" that we could attach to our bicycles that looked like a motorcycle engine and made a motorcycle sound?  Not that I ever had one, but I knew a kid who did...

I had one!!!!! Wow I lost that brain cell until I saw your post! Flashback!  Before the Motor I went through the playing cards and then Ballons! Now there is some sound for about 100 yds then they would pop! Probably went through a couple dozen ballons a week! I always wanted to be the loudest!  Face

They've also got to figure out where to put the oil tank. 


You can't have a harley if it ain't leaking from somewhere!
