What did you do this weekend? Wrenching? Riding? All of the above? Me, I test-rode a 2022 Zero SR at a nearby demo event and, surprisingly, it was even more fun than I expected. Why was that surprising? I can find something to enjoy about most bikes (after all, riding any bike is always more fun than not riding, right?), but this experience was a bit special, and I’ll tell you why in a moment.
Like many OEMs in 2022, Zero’s demo events have an online, advance signup process where you can submit your information and even sign your safety waiver online. When you get to the event, you’ll still need to check in with a person, of course—and they’ll want to see your driver’s license. However, doing things online versus in person streamlines the process in the ways that you’d hope, so you’re basically good to go as long as you’ve brought the appropriate gear the OEM requires for its demos.
