Brammo Empulse / Texas Malorie's Law/ TX HB3838
« on: April 02, 2015, 10:25:51 AM »

SECTION 3.  Section 545.416(b), Transportation Code, is amended to read as follows:
           (b)  An operator may not carry another person on the motorcycle, and a person who is not operating the motorcycle may not ride on the motorcycle, unless the motorcycle is:
                 (1)  designed to carry more than one person; and
                 (2)  equipped with footrests and handholds for use by the passenger.

How does this affect the Empulse? I don't remember seeing a "Hand Hold" on the gallery pictures.

Off Topic / Custom License Plate Name
« on: September 01, 2012, 10:25:17 PM »
Now that it really is getting closer to getting the Empulse (bit nervous), I am thinking of going with a custom license plate name for her.

I can only have 5 characters for the plate. Something fitting it being electric instead of ICE.
I can also add spaces, dashes, periods, hearts (represented by @) or silhouettes of Texas (represented by *).

PWRED
EPWER
EVSHO (SHO = Super High Output / previous idea to convert a Ford Taurus to EV, died after seeing Tesla)
NOGAS Taken, but using numbers for letters are still free.
*FRST (unless someone else beats me to it)

What would you choose for your Empulse and/or Enertia/+?

Edit: Just found these plates specific to energy companies... maybe an option.

I always go buy a sheet of reflectors (http://www.rei.com/product/680649/nathan-cycling-stick-ons) to add to a new helmet.  I add them so at least one is visible from all angles, including the very top of it.  I want to be visible even if I get separated from the bike at night.

Thanks Skuzzle, I will make that a priority.

Always ride like people cant see or hear you, because trust me, they arent looking or listening anyway... People will always try to make the lamest excuses if they hit you... oh the stories I have heard.

Anyway, that's some sweet gear Sorian! It all matches nicely too... especially with a red Empulse. i think the skull n crossbones is pretty much Icon's thing and much of their gear will have similar graphics. I can see the lighter colored gloves getting dirty quickly though.

Thanks EB, I saw most of the clothing from HfL. Yea, I am leaning to getting red empulse. They have a black pair, I just posted the main page for the gear. I'm just not a fan for the skull and crossbones on the helmet. I am waiting on when it becomes my time to hear the excuses when it happens to me, I am also thinking of adding a Contour or GoPro camera as evidence collection for just that reason.

Me being new to motorcycle riding, I have been browsing helmets, jackets, and gloves.
I read some reviews on Hell for Leather and have been looking at these items.

I think you might want some boots too, I really and wholeheartedly recommed "Daytona Burdit" - really great boots. And if you plan to get your knee to the ground, a nice pair of trousers may come in handy, too. I got myself some from vanucci, acceptable stuff for a great price.
And I personally think shopping online for stuff you have to try on isnt the best idea, go in a real shop and try it out :) (i found my boots after 4 hours of trying and swearing my ass off)

Thanks for the suggestions oml, I forgot about boots and I don't know if I will be comfortable getting a knee down.

While reading over at the Empulse treads, people start talking about what gear they use.

Me being new to motorcycle riding, I have been browsing helmets, jackets, and gloves.
I read some reviews on Hell for Leather and have been looking at these items.

Icon Alliance Rat Helmet

Icon One Thousand Chapter Jacket

Icon One Thousand Rimfire Gloves
http://www.rideicon.com/product_details.jsp?category=3431&id=13473

I don't plan on doing anything crazy, but living in the Houston area where people can't see me in a dark color car during the day or in a white car at night..... you get it.

So, are these okay? Too little? Too much?

Edit: I liked the Rat, till I saw the back... I liked the two tone with red pinstriping, just not the skull and crossbones on the back.

According to the website for Empulse:

Recharge J1772 Level I and II
110V AC to J1772 Level 1 Adapter included

What that exactly means is anyone's guess.

I wonder how a dark green would look


It would look like the bike was built in England during the 1950's.   ;D

Okay, maybe not that green, but something other than the lime green

Rearview HUD would be awesome.

Bluetooth isn't fast enough for decent video, but there's plenty of other ways.

I am not too worried about the slowness of bluetooth. If used like a rearview mirror in a car, quick glance at it, quick glance to the lane your moving into. Plus, everything I mentioned is still new. In time, it will get better, might switch to a WiFi connection.

Maybe change the color to something non-standard, add an electronic mod.

Recon Instruments is working on a HUD that started for snow boarders/skiers, but they are talking of making it work for motorcycle helmets. 2 features I am looking forward to is navigation (know where I am going, how far I have gone) and use of bluetooth camera (currently supports Contour cameras; I see it as a rear view camera, 170 degree lens).

I know I am a big computer nerd... so sue me!

I wonder how a dark green would look:


 
Hex triplet   #006400
RGB   (r, g, b)   (0, 100, 0)
HSV   (h, s, v)   (120°, 100%, 39%)
