Hey there!
I recently joined H-D and similarly recently, finally went through H-D Rider Academy and got my license. I grew up on 2 wheels, but that was an electric scooter (Zap Lepton with a max speed of precisely 27 MPH) that didn't need a license - amazingly, it only took another 16 odd years to get around to finally becoming official. The only vehicles I'm interested in are ones that don't have an engine. Finally looks like this is the decade that the world is taking notice of EVs and catching up to where I'm at. haha
I get to drive around the LiveWire (a VIN in the low 100s), and it's just an utter blast. Of course, taking it slow and with the respect it requires, flowing with traffic and not being dumb. I'm an overly pedantic driver on 4 wheels (and mostly with Autopilot in the Model 3) and combined with the control training on 2 wheels provided by the course, I feel pretty good on the thing.
Mostly looking to get feedback and resources that aren't straightforward to get within H-D - like how the heck to get Bluetooth working right (I'll post about that shortly). I hope to gain some better understanding of rider experiences and pass those along where I can, but my role is in engineering and assisting with the things to come in the powertrain department
Cool to see that this forum exists, and happy to be here!
