Sorry for the stock images and short review, the CD Honda gave me with riding images won’t load on my computer and I’m (trying to) fly to Ashland to be the first journalist to ride the Brammo Empulse. Come back on Monday for that and hit this link if the gallery won’t load by itself:

Monday, monday monday.. why are you so far away!

And then over the weekend we saw some awesome pictures:

"Showing @BozBros what's up on the @BrammoSays Empulse R @ Green Springs Inn instagr.am/p/OaItcgEN18/ "

But today, on facebook we see:

Wes is an idiot.


My, oh my. I hope he didn't get that riding the Empulse. :P And I hope he's well enough to post the article about the Empulse today. (Already 11 hours into Monday - on the East Coast - and still no article. :()

No, he got that riding dirt bikes for the first show of the second season of RideApart.  Still waiting on the review to show up on HFL.  :-X

I think I'm breaking the [Ctrl-R] buttons.  When are they going to publish that article?!

Try using F5 some. Mixing it up will help keep your fingers from cramping.

I would say that there's at least one thing that Wes shares with Brammo. They take their time, but it's worth the wait.

Be patient. I woke up at 3am on Saturday morning to fly home from Ashland, spent all Saturday at a wedding, woke up at 5am on Sunday to race motocross, got home last night at 10pm, then had to wake up at 7am this morning and spend the first few hours of the day dealing with contractors tearing my new house apart. Just filed my Wired review, now moving on to HFL, then I'll have a review on Jalopnik later this week and a behind the scenes at Brammo thing for Wired Autopia later this week too and probably a review in MCN in England too. I'm a busy dude!

Thanks for the update.  Take your time and do the story justice.

Sounds damn good to me.  What... the only criticism seems to be that it's not as fast as the Triumph Street Triple on the straights. 

I am going to call this: Wes likes it.

Wow. Just the review Brammo needed....

Now they just need to make a ton of them.

Electric is a great way to ride. The bike being "still" really adds to the connection the rider feels.

Wes should ride it at night...It feels like you are one with the wind...gliding along as if you are the nose of an airplane...

I still say you get that Hell for Leather review to Brad Pitt and Ryan Reynolds and offer then a bike for some pub..
