At Last, I've Met the Love of My Life: The Zero S Electric Motorcycle

in #motorcycles7 years ago (edited)

I drove out to meet with a guy about 6 miles from me today, who is selling his 2015 Zero S electric motorcycle for just $7,000. If that sounds like a fortune it is, but realize this bike normally goes for nearly twice that amount.

Is it not beautiful? Of course it is. Feast your eyes upon the contours of the body panels. Try to ignore my underdeveloped chicken legs. Such are the ravages of lifelong devotion to electric two wheelers. I've got a gym membership now, and the irony of riding an ebike to the gym in order to sit on a stationary bike and pedal isn't lost on me. Modern life is stupid.

This bike though. Holy shit, right? All my dicks are cumming at once, like some sort of eight-dicked cocktopus. I would do terrible things for this bike. I would run a bus full of nuns off the road for this bike! Or for no reason at all.

It's so beautiful I want to cry, but I swore nothing else would make me cry after Harambe left this world. Now, I have 21,000 SBD. So I for sure have enough to buy this. The problem is, I can only get it out at the rate of ~$100/week. That would take 1.36 years. This guy is not patient enough for that.

I'm also not keen on letting my SBD drop below 20,000 but I have never wanted anything as badly as I want this bike, holy shit. I just need to find somebody who will front me the $7,000 who is content to receive it back at the rate of $100/week, at zero interest.

I've also still got my old electric scooter that I plan to sell off. The problem is it has a bad battery, which of course dramatically reduces the value. I could slap some lead acid batteries in there just to get it running, but I know from selling ebikes that used lead acid batteries back in Florida that even if you explain their short lifespan to a buyer upfront, they're still hopping mad and accusing you of selling them a lemon when they need a new set in 6 months. That drawback just doesn't become real in their mind until it happens.

Anyway, I checked the brakes. They look good. Hydraulics look good, tires look good. It's only two years old and has ~4,000 miles on it. It's such a tease to be so close to having something you want this badly, only for one factor to place it just barely out of reach.

I haven't given up. You can see me on this bike, can't you? I can see me on this bike. It was made for me. I just need $7,000 some time within the next few months. Although realistically I don't have that long, somebody's sure to snap it up before I do.

I'm definitely dead set on this specific model however. One way or the other, I'll get me one of these bad boys. Even if I have to sell my body to lonely supermodels again. Those models, they're so lonely! But they gotta pay.

Maybe that's the moral? Nothing good comes cheap. I'll be hustling a little bit harder than usual, and looking to fix up and sell off that scooter in a hurry. I belong on that bike god damnit, I'm gonna make this happen. STEEM Cycle 2.0! You read it here first!

EDIT: Turns out that since the hard fork, I can withdraw my SBD much faster. I may have this bike within the month. :0

Sort:  

Lmao @ "eight-dicked cocktopus"!!

I'll throw .25 SBD in the bike pot for ya. Good luck raising the funds. Maybe you can sell some things besides the scooter?

Yeah, my body. To supermodels. Remember? It's a steep price to pay but somebody has to satisfy their disgusting womanly needs.

I imagine you could get the $7000 in just one gig. Supermodels are, after all, dripping with money and sometimes other substances.

I think you might get the bike sooner than you think. When I do the math, I get different numbers than you did.

According to your wallet, what you have is about 21K of Steem Power, and that powers down at 1/13 for 13 weeks. You should have about 1600 Steem in your wallet every week and if it stays around $1.30 then that's over $2000 a week.

You'll be riding your dream bike in less than a month.

Weird. Last time I powered down I received much less per week than that. If what you say is true, I have some feverish celebratory naked dancing to do.

In the "old" days, the power down rule was - you get 1/102 of your SP converted to Steem each week for 102 weeks. After one of the Hard Forks, it went to 1/13 over 13 weeks. Enjoy your dance!

I'm very happy that you get to have the bike of your dreams! After reading your post I was hoping someone would bring good news in the comments! Hope it works out!! Put up a post when you get it!

Dude, that bike is fucking gorgeous. Rooting for you on getting it, bro. If I wasn't broke as hell I'd try to help you out, hopefully you find someone who's down to set up an agreement with you.

You know what you could always do though? Just sell off your blood and semen until you have the $7000. I think that's a surefire plan that couldn't go wrong. Or, sell yourself to 7000 women for a dollar. Another brilliant plan, I'm just full of them tonight.

You should Definitely Get this one Beautiful 😍 Black Beauty
That deal looks good though ;)

That's awesome man your are getting this amazing bike. I am happy for you. Yeah now we can power down steem power much faster 1/13 per week :)

I hope the motor is yours. Sorry I can not help you friend. But believe me that motor is perfect for you. Be careful with a lonely model alex. later on you will be weak helpless hehehe

This bike is dope. Every one would want it. I am happy that you may get bike within this month. Wish you good luck :)

I can see why you are so excited to get this One.
That deal seems good though.
And Dont worry no one will notice your chicken legs after your gonna ride this Beast.
Keep Calm And Ride On Dude 🤘🏼🤘🏼

Wow you gonna get this awesome electric bike within this months. That's awesome. You are lucky man you are getting the love of your life :D I am really happy for you :)

You can see me on this bike, can't you? I can see me on this bike.

I like the tone of this work--very excited. We all hope you get it. Sending 1 SBD toward the cause.

Cheers,
@lilrut

Well if the prices of steem get into a new bubble (like they are probably headed to since BTC is at an all time high and this will attract a lot of people) it will be a piece of cake getting the money.

This motorcycle is so beautiful.
I have never drove a electric motorcycle.
I am sure that steemit will help you for raising funds :)

I got three days of holiday and I am scouring your profile for those wonderful deviant stories of yours that I love so much. So I went as early as 5 months, which is only how far back I can go, and I am reading them up one by one. this is my plan for the next 3 days. Now I am curious to know if you got this sexy beast or not. I will check on your later post to see if that happened or not. But before that I am starting up on the 7 part Metal Fever Novella. My weekend + christmas day is going to be packed with your stories. That's how I am going to treat myself this xmas weekend.

Here, let me make your life a little bit easier: https://www.inkitt.com/alexbeyman

That thing looks like it will fly, Nice bike. Where you live do you have to have a motor cycle license?

Oregon, and yes I do.

That's a Beauty ,so cool :)
looks powerful

so Incredible this Bike is...I loved it. Thanks for sharing @alexbeyman

I think you just hit the jackpot , that is an amazingly beautiful bike :D @alexbeyman

Not yet I haven't. I can't currently afford it. I was just having a picture taken on it for this article.

In time you will ! I meant to say it was for a jackpot price

How many kilometres of the durability of electric motorcycle power/mil needs how much time she traveled...Before charging back.I loved your collection. thank you've shared.

Depends on speed. At 30mph it will do around 130 miles. At 60, it will do closer to 70 miles. The faster you go, the more that air resistance takes away from your range.

then just put a wind gen on it to make the range go up.... right? lol

Don't even joke about that, it gives me PTSD from Youtube comments on videos about electric cars and alternative energy.

what ever you do, don't watch this video that i am posting right here, for you not to watch. and turn off the sound crap music.

Now you've done it. You've killed me.

that good. And even if it is electric.
What power does it have?

Wow...bike....
I really like bikes...I'm daily ride my honet250 bike..it is feeling awesome...bike is now new fashion in the young genaration...
Wow...it is fantastic exeperince in our life...I always like ride bikes...thank you so much @alexbeyman my dear friend..I appreciate your post..wel done..
Resteemed...
Cheers!...

thank you for sharing @alexbeyman your post are great followed :)

All nuns should watch out now, or they gonna be screwed lol.
Just be careful on the roads.

I am Groot! :D

I hope you get it soon, looks like a nice machine!

Cool bike.

Like Tom Cruise in Mission impossible , that's really awesome:)

I will pray to god that you can fulfill your dream as soon and you don't have to wait 1.36 years to pay out your loan. The bike is awesome

That is very kind, but I don't think prayer is necessary for a supreme being to know what we desire, and there are more important things than me buying a motorcycle. Your prayers, if they do anything, are better directed at serious problems like homelessness and the safety of women and children.

That bike looks really cool @alexbeyman!

you looking style master :) really great sun glasses :)

Wow, that is a sexy little beast. I want one too.

It's strange. I've got no interest in a gas powered motorcycle as they seem unbelievably and unnecessarily dangerous. And while I know a 60 mph motorcycle crash is just as deadly whether you've got liquid explosive between your legs or a lithium-ion battery, for some reason the electric model just seems a lot safer to me.

Not that that's enough to convince my wife to let me ride one.

Anyway, I hope you get it and then enjoy many, many safe miles.

Go for it. Let the steeming begin! Luck to you. 🐓🐓

This motorcycle is so awesome
