Love the lyrics, discordance and that melody that enters halfway thru - it kinda rambles along and then hops up. The video is neat too.

Modern World - Wolf Parade (2005)

Wolf Parade - Modern World (2005) - Lemmy.World

“Modern World” from the 09/27/05 Wolf Parade album Apologies To The Queen Mary.

Brief review. My main concern was the 280kg weight. Over 100kg more than my daily ride. But I actually didn’t find this a problem.
Loved the throttle response. I’ve ridden electric stuff with really bad/jerky throttles and this was perfect.
I did not love the handling however. And maybe thats the weight, but the geometry just didn’t vibe with me. Definitely very different to my DR650 and im sure I could get used to it, but it felt like it was positively steering, not counter steering and that was doing my head in.
And yes. The acceleration in sport mode is nuts. Roller-coaster, gut drop stuff.
Had a lot of fun on the test ride. Team were super friendly and transparent with questions I had.

AMA: I test rode the Savic electric motorcycle today. - Lemmy.World

I’m a daily rider who’s followed Savic for a while now and would love to switch to electric. Their C-series Alpha is a propper, fully electric motorcycle and they’ve started public test rides so I thought I’d give it a go. I might write a brief summary of my thoughts in the comments, but yeh, feel free to chime in. Would love to know if others have ridden propper Emotos here.

I assume there will be questions… it was built from a cheap, small classical guitar to be something I could travel with~
The pickup you see is not currently wired up (dun worry I know it won’t work with nylon strings - it’s there if/when I wanna try steel strings.) There is a piezo pickup under the bridge at the moment. The strings route over the roller bridge, around another set of rollers and then to tuners - which is the headstock I chopped off the neck.
It’s pretty quiet and gross, but also fun to play and work on for a laugh.

I learned a few things from recent rolls. Yep, this camera has a sizable light leak. And the new scanners at airports cause noticeable Xray damage (never used to have a problem).
