I take a small 317 lb Zero electric motorcycle. Very simple, not towed, gets up the ramp for the hitch on its own power. My setup has been all over the USA coast to coast. Avatar photo taken in Florida. The ramp I use is one of these thingies. No straps required. The Zero DS with the smaller...

I did that ten years ago. But my SS is a very small part of it, I am a much bigger burden on the City and County of San Francsico. -Don- (Kirkwood, CA--no free charge here, 50 cents per KWH!--Mtn Club Ski Resort, 7,700' elevation, lots of snow still on the ground).

Agreed. But less bad for the environment than ICE vehicles are. But the very worst thing for the environment is us humans. -Don- Miden, NV (free charge stop for my 2023 Zero DSR/x motorcycle)

Sounds like a good road for my electric motorcycle. How far is that ghost town from where the RVs can be parked? Does the Ghost Town have a name? Tom & I used to travel to see various NV Ghost Towns . We've been to places such as Rawhide, Rhyolite, Gold Point and several others. CA also...

Yep. I realized that as I was reading it. It was all based on fact, from what I could tell. -Don- Reno, NV

I don't care about opinions, just the facts, please. And when it comes to pollution, just the complete picture, not only just any one part of it. Nevertheless, I didn't find anything inaccurate in a quick read of that article. -Don- Reno, NV

Yep! Not that I do (or do not) believe in such things. And yep, many humans are very superstitious in many different ways. But I do not claim to know what we cannot know. I prefer provable facts, when possible. -Don- Reno, NV

A better question would be "has any hams NOT heard of skip?" I kinda doubt it. But it doesn't happen at UHF, so you need to use the moon. -Don- Reno, NV

Not really. If it were for ICE cars, then even more trees would be destroyed. As I said previously, some types of destruction are better than other types of destruction. That is about the best we can do. Destroy some trees to save a few is better than destroying trees to destroy even more...

Yep, perhaps not "always", but we certainly evolved into being nature's biggest mistake. Unless we evolved to do what we do best, to slowly destroy everything possible. -Don- Reno, NV

I didn't say they would remember or even know that they did. FWIW, I simply realize we are not capable of understanding everything. I don't claim to know what is not knowable. -Don- Reno, NV

Unless done by a moon bounce. -Don- Reno, NV

Yeah, but can you prove you will not be forced to come back? Time is infinite, what are the odds of either one of us being alive right now if we only live once? -Don- Reno, NV

And the same with ICE cars. If you want a true, well studied comparison, see the video in my message here. I will start my saying EVs are far dirtier to build than ICE, no doubt about it, and by a lot. But one must look at the entire picture as explained in the video. -Don- Reno, NV

So true, with just about everything. Nothing is perfect. Just some types of our destruction do less harm than other types. But EVs do a lot less damage to the environment than ICE cars, and by a lot. So those protesters should be happy that it is for EV expansion, not ICE car expansion. "In...
