It seems they’ve found a possible firey death issue with the charger. They recommend not charging at home, only at dealers until it’s sorted.

Im not surprised, charging seems to be a sticking point, especially on motorcycles, which have a lot less “support structure” tacked onto the system.

But this is probably going to quicken the LW’s certain demise.

I heard one the other day. It’s by far the best sounding Harley.

So what you’re saying is, the LiveWire wants to burn down the Harley-Davidson establishment? What a Rebel!

A transcript of the 5-point QA checklist used for all Harleys has been released, with marks for this model :

1) Does it go, stop and turn ? Yep.

2) Does it make you want to buy at least 28 HD-branded accessories ? Yep.

3) Does it make you feel like you totally have a chance with that waitress that’s 2 0+ years younger than you and that hitting on her is appropriate ? Yep.

4) Does it make “BRUBRUBRUBRUBRUB” noises? Nope.

5) Does it catch on fire during normal operating procedures? I dunno.

There is a woman in my condo complex who rides a Harley. What that means for me is that I get to listen to it warm up for ten minutes every time she goes for a ride. So for 10 minutes I have to listen to it loudly cough and sputter and miss and rattle and generally sound (and smell!) like it’s running way too rich before she drops it in gear and speeds off, presumably to a stoplight nearby where she can twist the throttle while she waits for a green.

I haven't experienced one in person yet. The local dealer doesn't have one, and I don't know that they're going to.

On one hand, ew, Harleys, but on the other, mad props to her for defying gender norms.

I should have left out the gender thing. Being an asshole Harley owner transcends gender.
