The wheel was discovered around 5000 years ago.

During the age of wagons & chariots, it may have never occurred to anyone that putting two wheels in line with each other would be a practical thing.

But finally in 1817 the bicycle was invented, and that idea led to the motorcycle, and doing backflips:


What invention of the past could use a new twist today?

Implementation

Focus on situations with change potential:

  • High stakes – responsible for the outcome
  • Novelty – not drawn from the past
  • Challenge – done faster and/or better
  • Interaction – work with people

This approach requires serious commitment. Development requires time. The secret is to invest a few moments every day to maximize learning.”

Had a great test ride today. Harley-Davidson LiveWire has a very strong, broad powerband and handles quite well as a quiet (and sweet smelling) street bike.

Expected sunny weather but instead got drenched by a cloudburst when approaching the foothills around the valley, so I stuck with the streets around town and put off riding the winding back roads. Still, lots of fun.

I am thoroughly invested in electrifying California with focus on electric motorcycles. LiveWire is #1 in the lineup of futuristic transportation vehicles.

Just think of the many issues needing resolution before the year 2034, including fortifying the energy grid and making electric recharging more convenient. It’s an exciting challenge.

Horsepower

Today I would have been riding this LiveWire electric motorcycle (100 hp) if it hadn’t been raining cats & dogs. Rescheduled for Tuesday. (That’s my 35 hp KLR650 behind it.)

Anyway, let us rejoice in the blessings of nature, including electricity.l

Collision

Shaken, but not Stirred

After he got up I asked how he was feeling. “Terrible,” he said, “hurt my wrist.” Then he ran up to the car which had pulled aside a few feet ahead on Curtner.

I was ambivalent about getting more involved because, although the driver was at fault, it was the bicyclist who ran into the car.
