Anybody doing fall rides
This weekend I'm doing an annual toy run in Rio Rancho...and next weekend there is an annual toy run in Albuquerque....

Just riding to and from work .. or not.
Yesterday it was mid 30s in the morning, rode in and was suitably chilled.
Today it was 27 in the morning, decided taking the car was better..

Great pic!
But the thread title is "Fall Pictures"... plural.
-
Well I kinda thought I would start and others would add

Can you show it in front of the Pollos Hermanos? 8)
-
Ha....I can take a picture of it in front of Walt's house...it is only a 1/2 a mile from my house...talked to the nice woman who lives there...
Or Jesse's house...It is down by the Zoo...
Heck the Car Wash is on the way home...
name a place and I'll get a photo :)

Ha. Didn't really connect the dots there. (just finished season 3)
Maybe find the RV and get a shot of the Enertia hooked up to jump it.. ; D
-
Best show ever. Any or all would be great. My son (who got me hooked on the show) would freak.

Might be a spoiler, because I thought this happened in Season 3: (click and drag to reveal)
The RV is a cube of compressed metal.

Ah, you're right. I was just thinking of the voltaic pile Walt created .. battery technology as of the 1800s. No way would it have enough "juice" to start up the RV motor, but I'll grant the show creators some artistic license. We've come a little ways in the last couple hundred years. : )

Ok, redirecting you two over to the Breaking Brammo thread...this one is for Fall photos...
To get back on theme

Excellent!

Sunday. My single day record for miles driven....70.7 miles in total on the Enerita...
What is the most anybody has driven their Enertias in one day (employees of Brammo don't count...I'm sure they put tons of miles on their bikes... :) )

Excellent!
Thanks...I was riding with friends so I couldn't stop every time I wanted...which is too bad as we were riding down Rio Grande Blvd...a beautiful, curvy road that goes through the city but feels like the country...big open spaces. open fields birds use when migrating...One field had hundreds of Canadian Geese and a Single Sandhill Crane...and in that field, sneaking through the grass, was a Coyote eying those large birds...it was really a beautiful photo op, and would have been interesting to watch, but flow of traffic made me keep moving forward...almost turned around, but I just kept riding with the pack instead...grrrrr....

Do Enertia Pluses (Enertias Plus) count? : )
(of course.. the Plus likely has a similar onboard charger, so it just has a bigger cup of energy, you recharge at the same speed)
-
I know you've got me beat. I'm pretty sure that the most miles per day for me was around 60. 12 miles to work. (Got to recharge there). ~25 at lunch. Then my usual 12 miles home, but took a detour and that 12 turned into about 20. I guess that's about 57. That ride home was particularly enjoyable as I visited the "Brammo Midwest Proving Grounds" where I worked on my MotoGP-style leans into turns.

Well I don't think anybody outside of Brammo has a Plus yet...I could be wrong...
Can't wait to get the Plus...with the improvements and the extra distance...well my Sunday ride was great...it would have been perfect if I didn't have to charge a couple of times...though charging did get me to interact with a few people I wouldn't have...

I have been over 50 miles in one charge before, but it was a pretty random ride and I was not looking to get the most miles I could.
I have a relatively flat loop around the building where I work that I could try for a distance record, and then re-charge. It would not be a "real world" test as I would have no stop signs or lights and I could coast when I wanted to, but it might be something to try.
