I didn't know you had a zero! (Did I?)

Nice, I need a new rear soon.

How much mileage you get out of them with the electric and the higher torque?

Nice! I got a nice ride in on my Zuma earlier today.

Aactually, I went way beyond what they should've been. Left the last pair (still Perelli Diablo Roso II) on for 6k. But it's a commuter, so I'm not overly aggressive.

I bought it quite a while ago, but I don’t post about it much.

How did I not twig that they basically named their bike the Zero-Fucks

Yeah that’s pretty good. I’m getting up near 10k for Michelin Power RS but you’ve got twice my maximum the twist as me and much lower.

I really wanted to get the vanity plate "GIVEN" but my wife thought it was a bad idea.

The biggest drawback to the FX/S platform is the lack of quick charge. The OEM has nothing reasonable (you can get an external and an adapter, but it’s big, bulky and still slow). Aftermarket is pretty much DIY because the Zero battery management system is tricky to work with.

But  otherwise, they’re great bikes.

That is a good looking bike - been seriously contemplating buying one for commuting duty.

You should do a write up of it and living with the thing.
