Time travel, electric bikes, and being No. 1…

Wow, lots of miles in the last 7 or 8 days.  I say “7 or 8” because it’s a little hard to keep track of.  When you fly to Asia, you get there 2 days later.  When you fly home, you actually get back before you left.   China is 15 hours ahead of California and it’s a 12-hour flight.  I left Beijing at noon on the 17th, and I landed in California at 9:00 a.m. (also on the 17th).  Like I said, it’s little confusing.

Anyway, I had a couple more interesting notes from our good buddies Greg and Andy.   First, the note from Andy…

Hey Joe,

I hope you recover well from what sounded like a very plesent trip to China. I am glad to hear you guys looked into shoehorning a TT250 engine into the mini bike even though the results are unfavorable. An electric “Grom” would be wonderful. Actually any electric affordable bike would be great. I assume it will be easier to import an electric being emissions free and all but perhaps not since it might have to meet electrical standards depending on if the charger is internal or external. Let me know when I can put a deposit down for one, I am very interested!

Andy

We hear you, Andy, and you can be sure we’re giving this topic a lot of thought and a lot of analysis.  Personally, I’d like to see it happen.  It’s partly the P&L and partly the passion, and as you know, at CSC we’re passionate about motorcycling.  We’ll see how it all pencils out.

And hey, I also had this nice note from my good buddy Tucson Greg.  Seems like we made the Motorcycle.com “best bikes” list again, and this time, we’re No. 1!  But don’t take my word for it…read the article yourself!

Greg and Andy, thanks for writing to us.   We sure do enjoy hearing from you and all of our riders.

Oh, and one more thing:  All you Dads out there have a happy Father’s Day tomorrow; I know I sure will!
