Drop 75 lbs from the bike and add 20 HP and you have A Husky FE501 SM.

yup...might seem like a waste of money, but likely saved his life.

so, i happen to watch a highlight clip from Avengers: Age of Ultron, and there's an action scene (chase scene) where Black Widow rides a motorcycle in it...i didn't know it at the time, as the bike wasn't out then, but it's a Harley Davidson Livewire...even though this bike just launched in 2019 (as a 2020 model), it was in development for something like 7 years...this movie came out April 2015, so was likely made in 2014.

Had the opportunity to take the Husky for it's first 2020 spin. I can report it will still loft the front wheel in most gears. Not exactly the ride of choice when ye old licence is a little heavy on demerits.

Forecast next week looks horrible.

Geez...this is a lot of bike for the money. 2020 KTM 890 Duke R. 120HP, 366 lbs. High quality Brembos and fully adjustable suspension. $12,500 CDN.

Must resist and wait for the new 490 Twins....

Resistance is futile...

I at least want to see the 490cc stuff first.
