Took Delivery of Limited Edition #07/30.
As of this week, I am the proud owner of Enertia Limited Edition #07/30. A last minute scheduling snafuu almost saw me lose #07 to another LE cusotmer, but luckily the production team found a way to keep both customers happy. Craig will be delivering #06 to a friend of his in Burbank on Saturday.
So... what do I think? When I finally tucked the bike into my garage for its first night alone in the dark, I realized that I've been dreaming about this day for almost 3 years now. There was surprisingly little celebration though, as all the hardwork that's gone into the product has meant that this delivery is no different than any other delivery nor this production bike built differently from any other (aside from being an LE).
I've already used the Enertia to run to the grocery store (hence my fitment of saddlebags - a great option), commuted to work every day, and generally wrought havoc on downtown Ashland. I noticed while testing the Enertia that people stopped to ask about it, but I notice it even more now that I'm being stopped outside of work related tests or trips. It's nice to see how curious and interested everyone is in the bike and I couldn't be more proud to speak to them as an owner rather than "the designer of". I'm now having visions of cafe rides to Jacksonville with other Enertia owners and conversations about who acheived the highest speed or greatest range or what the best "mod" is to enhance the look of the bike. I can only hope the owners club forms sooner rather than later...

Most people are loath to change. When i tell people about the Brammo electric,
the first thing they say goes something like this: “What if i want to ride from Canada to
Cape Horn South America? Huh? Huh? Like they are really going to do that on any motorcycle much less in a car:) What people say and what they mean are usually two different things. What they mean is “I FEAR CHANGE EVEN IF IT’S FOR THE BETTER”.
While reading up on the Brammo specs and watching video’s, you start to see the Value in it. I was in my garage the other day messing around and started looking at
my Honda American Classic edition. All of a sudden i saw things i never saw before.
Pistons,rings, friction, oil that get’s dirty, air filters that get dirty, so many things that break etc. The Brammo is on my list. What’s your excuse? Oh yea, i forgot. You want to be able to go from Detroit to Australia on your Harley. Only in your dreams:)
