Welcome Back

July 21, 2024/12 Comments/in Electronic Ping, Features, Moto/by WTM

Welcome back to Electronic Ping, a column I’ve been writing in some form or another since 1998. I know there aren’t a lot of written columns anymore; seems like people don’t have the patience for it and if it isn’t a 12-second [or less] video, people lose interest faster than Gary Busey at a congeniality convention. Well, for those old souls who still like to read something… welcome! And if you’ve gotten to this point and you can’t stay focused, thanks for stopping by, and don’t forget to get your Ritalin scrip refilled soon!

The idea was to make what most would see as the ultimate weekend warrior’s bike, a do-it-all machine. We think this bike came out sweet and we hope you guys do too!
