... a halt-trading order??

It appears to be at a late stage of development, evidence being the apparently quite detailed CAD models. What they end up doing with it is anybody's guess, with "nothing" still in the realm of possibility. The theory for how they get this thing to balance is interesting, though I'm not quite...

If they've got non Euro 5+ bikes in stock in Europe, that is a big problem, because redirecting those to the North American market might not be as simple as re-applying a VIN sticker.

Indeed. If there's ONE version of each bike, it doesn't matter what colour you paint it and what name you put on it.

59 new models in one year? (Or 17 unveiled at EICMA ... which is it, or was it 17 unveiled at the show and 42 elsewhere?) My gosh. That's half the problem.

I'd heard the unsold number was 100 000, but this much ... ! ! ! How? Absolute incompetence on the part of management.

If this year is like last, there will be one short track-day trip to USA (during which I sleep in my van, which is set up for that) and a week at Deals Gap. The US$-C$ exchange rate isn't far enough out of its recent historical range to matter for that. From yahoo finance ... 5-year low was...

THIS is what we need.

A less expensive way of achieving this would have been to install a paint line capable of painting multiple colours. ... which they ended up doing, anyhow, but with the additional cost of buying out the other brands associated with those colours. I'm not sure how much of their trouble relates...

The way the survey question is asked can make a huge difference. "Will your next vehicle purchase be gas or electric" is a different question from "if you had to replace this vehicle, would it be gas or electric". Lots of people including myself have both.

Are you required to have the boat's lights on when the boat is parked at the dock? Or am I understanding this wrong?

Can't fix ignorance. Just today, someone was complaining on the Bolt facebook group that 120V charging couldn't keep up with their driving patterns. Well, duh. 120V charging works for a lot of people, but not if you drive more every day than approximately 6 km x <number of hours it can be...

Retirement has given me the time to walk 4 to 6 km every day ... except days like today. (too cold and blustery) Doctor has no concerns other than cholesterol being higher than he'd like.

Mixture of both. I retired a year and a bit ago. I've never been the type to have the biggest and newest possible house, or the fanciest and newest car that the bank will let me have. No kids, either. I'll never own a McMansion on a country estate, and I drive a Chevy, not a Mercedes. All that...

This thread should be a continuation of this one: Certifications starting March 2025.... But, at the moment, I can't figure out how to merge them, so I'm locking this one. Discussion can continue in the original thread.

My theory is that TSLA is going up because people are speculating that Elon Musk is going to do something self-serving after 20 January; it almost doesn't matter what. Likewise with bitcoin. I'm not interested in getting involved in that conflict-of-interest mess.

Can anyone think of a SPAC stock-market manoeuver that resulted in a successful operating business? (Truth Social doesn't count. LOL) I have moved my probability-or-success expectation from "low" to "very low". LOL Agree that they tried to do too much too soon. They assumed that their first...

Too big for my liking, but better than expected! And ... batteries and vehicle final assembly are in Canada.

Bwahaha. The backpack found in Central Park reportedly belonging to the shooter, contained Monopoly money. (Widely reported)

My understanding is that the CMA is undergoing a revival under new ownership/management, so the situation now might not be what it has been in the past (hopefully better, because the past was a nightmare). They are still not affiliated with the regional and national roadracing organisations...
