Ladies and gentlefolk, were back swinging! This week, weve scoured the net for the biggest, juiciest morsels, and alternated all of that with a few bits of Powersports eye candy. The topics are big, so its a shorter list this week – but we couldnt NOT talk about all this movement, so here we go: For the first time ever, Big Red has recorded losses connected to an environment thats no longer hospitable to EVs.

You’re on the highway, maybe twenty minutes from home, traffic moving fine, nothing unusual about the car that’s been sitting in front of you for the last few miles. Then it brakes hard for no reason you can see, and by the time you’ve stopped and your heart has caught up with what just happened, the other driver is already out of his car and looking angry. There’s a dent on his bumper that you’re now not sure was there […] The post The Quiet Epidemic of Staged Accidents (And How Drivers Are Protecting Themselves) appeared first on webBikeWorld . ...
