You can tell her..:poke2:. That's her new tow rig for her new '22 900T R...:evil2:

Well it might be a bit breezy with no roof but it is yellow and if it drives i will go :icon_steer:

 

Mr TD I think your 900 TR will go nicely on the back but mine will be enclosed in my trailer pulled behind this rig.:rotflmao:

I've watched a number of the videos on the Taiga, and I must say I'm impressed!

180 hp instantly is insane. (0 t0 120 kph in 2.9 secs)

However the 130 km radius is very disappointing.

I'd buy one if only I could get Revrnd to make a Linq bracket for a couple of spare battery packs  :lol:

No photo description available.

 

Cab is an option. Speaking from experience we'd wear a parka coat driving 1 outdoors in the winter. In the summer time we went 'doors off' like the Jeepers do.

I think you'd want to beef up the tunnel if you were thinking of that. :wtf:

That is rather sporting of you!!:cheers:

 

That’s telling TD what order the pecking line is in. Tell him you will allow that!! :rotflmao:

Make it run 200kms on a charge, have the infrastructure, and I may have a look..

He knows his place well by now ;):rotflmao:.

 

You have to at least try a new rig once to know you like it or not right?!

 

Still not sure if I like electric rides though.  Still not reliable enough for me yet.

Ok so seriously not sure about these new electic rides.  Maybe great for those who like the Southern trails that are closer to home and able to plug in, but for long rides where cell phones don't always work sounds like a H&S issue to me.  Also batteries take a lot of energy to make, are not easily recycled either.  They already have to burry decommissioned wind turbines because they can't recycle them.  Seems counter productive to the environment to me.

 

Also there is something very off with a Tesla that can download a sound that imitates a Harley.  Hmmmm seems like it is a wannabe verses owning up to what it is.

 

Now there would be some value if they are quite because maybe I can finally see a Moose on the trail but then everyone would also hear me singing or cursing out Mr TD in my helmet...:rotflmao:  Be careful what you wish for.

I was thinking that riders may see way too many animals than they want to where they don't want to if there isn't enought sound for animals to be gone before you get there. On the other hand it would be fun to hear you "educating" your hubby along the trail.

I like the phrase "educating" my hubby.  I will have to use that.

 

I agree about the wildlife we might see more then what we bargain for.  It would be shame if they could not escape fast enough.  I would hate to see more "road" or in this case trail kill.  I might not want to come up on a pack of wolves with a kill either.  Not a place I want to be.

Quite a few years ago I saw an item about a little commercial van that GM Turkey built. About the same size as the little rebadged Chev (Nissan) van.

It may trigger a new phrase "trail kill". Who know, some say road kill is yummy and the sled version would be flash frozen.
