Bummer. Since they build them here in Bama, I frequently see them when I’m working in B’ham.

Upon consideration, "done" may have not been the best choice of word.

There's still a lot of IP and physical bits and infrastructure and and and.....

Isn't this the time when some OTT wealthy moto-dude swoops in to save the day?
Leno? Seinfeld? Travis Tritt!

Kopf you're in with the Hollywood crew, get them on the job!

I joke, but I'm actually hopeful for something like this.

Unfortunate, but expected.  At $10k over the other high end competition (BMW, Ducati, etc.) they weren't going to sell too many bikes.

It would be great in anything light weight. Formula Ford type car, shifter cart etc.

You're not wrong.

Darn, just read this.
My buddy just bought one 2 years ago. Amazing customer service. Really cool bike.
