Are Harley riders ready for an electric ride or will they snub their noses at this venture like they do at nearly all of HD's experiments outside of their 'brand'?

I wouldn't snub this any more than I would any other electric. But I've yet to see one manufactured in a style that I'd ride no matter what powers it.

Christopher Snow did you click through to the link? HD is releasing a handful of electrics and they're all pictured.

Yes, I did. I knew they were coming out with a few electric ideas, but none of them are traditional cruiser styling in my opinion. And so, as I said, I haven't seen an electric concept or production model yet that appeals to me. Nothing against the idea, just that they all seem to be the same style and gas or electric, it just doesn't appeal.

I kind of like both the PanAmerica and the LiveWire.

i think they are going about it backwards, too

The pan America looks like an interesting take on the adventure bike, I'll admit that.

Don't want to ride one any more than I want a BMW GS, but it's an interesting design.

Uh, ok... We clearly are either looking at different machines, or have a vastly different opinion of the HD design process...

Moving on...

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
