"Nobody's ever done it," thought Aaron Pufal. "So I'm gonna do it!" "It" in this case is set the first record for riding an electric motorcycle (a LiveWire!) from coast to coast as fast as humanly—and logistically—possible. It wasn't easy, but... we'll let Aaron tell the story.
Aaron also tells us about the ADV Cannonball and an upcoming EV Cannonball—plus what a "cannonball" is in the first place and a lot more. Find out more about Aaron's record-setting ride and the ADV Cannonball on the web.
What amazes me and I'm sure will amaze a lot of folks is that Aaron made his record-setting ride on a LiveWire. YES! A LIVEWIRE!

- BMW appears to be testing a possible new middleweight GS, while an alleged BMW Motorrad data breach provides a timely reminder to follow the FTC’s basic cybersecurity precautions.
- The electric news segment normally found in each episode has been replaced—for this episode only—by a lengthy rant you can find as standalone Mini-Episode 190.
