High Voltage Hobbies, Silent Speedsters, and Nostalgic Nautical Narratives

R2RO = Right To Remain Offended

Ever had a piece of the past roar back into your life, hungry for a modern makeover? That's the story with a 450 motorcycle that's wheeled its way back into my shop – and into our latest chat. We're exchanging tales of profit-driven buying and selling antics, like the time I slapped a sky-high price tag on my beloved Jeep to ward off buyers, and my buddy’s hilarious house listing strategy. The plot thickens when the bike, stripped of its engine and electrics for a shifter cart, sparks a current idea: Why not turn this gas-guzzler into an electric powerhouse? Cue a half-serious, half-joking shout-out to our tech-genius friend Ben, whose mechanical mastery could very well be the key to an electrified future for this two-wheeled enigma.
Strap in as we shift gears into the electrifying world of performance vehicles, where electric motor conversions promise wheelies without the oil spills. We’ll share the buzz around retrofitting off-road beasts like jeeps with cutting-edge electric crate engines and the companies powering this revolution. Then, we ride the waves of memory with jet ski escapades, comparing the thunderous might of gas engines with the silent surge of electric ambition. Through stories of building engines and the wild freedom of navigating treacherous waters, we'll tackle the technical twists of swapping jet propulsion for electrons. Get ready for a ride through personal anecdotes and a relentless passion for machines that pack a powerful punch, electric or otherwise.
