Re: Two wheels good.

Arrived in Czechia yesterday afternoon after just under 2400 kms. Every kilometer was ridden in sunshine, but it is pissing down this morning. That's OK with me, as I have a massive hangover, and I don't fancy riding today.

Re: Electric vehicles, pros and cons. Have your say.

Just watched Rich Rebuilds on You Tube about the price slashing on the Fisker Ocean Extreme SUV. Now dealers are getting shot of them for $30,000 (they were $61,500), and he thinks they will soon be $25k, or even $20k.

Seems they are dropping their prices in the UK too, but not so drastically. Yet.
