2004 Moto Guzzi California EV Touring Motorcycle Test
I've always found myself oddly attracted to Moto Guzzi motorcycles, yet at the same time a bit wary of them. Kind of a yin-yang thing caused in no small part by some of their oddball quirks. On the one hand you've got legendary reliability, a strong, easily maintained engine and driveline and a certain flair for style that only the Italians can ever really pull off. On the other hand you've got those Weird-Harold linked brakes (yeah, I know lots of manufacturers use linked brakes. I don't like those any better) and what might possibly be, at least from the standpoint of my own ergonomic inclinations, the worst foot controls in motorcycling.
Truthfully, the first few miles on the EV had me wondering if I'd made the right decision. Those damn foot controls nearly drove me nuts. Believe me, any gears I managed to engage on the first attempt were purely accidental. Stopping with the rear brake was simply out of the question. The pedal was awkward to reach and hard to modulate. Clearly a bit of adjustment was required. A little spanner work put the shifter where I could at least use it, and I placed the foot brake to a position that wasn't so uncomfortable. In candor, once the pedals were adjusted I suppose I could get used to them. But the reality of it is that the lower controls need a complete redesign, preferably by someone who's ridden one of the floorboard-equipped bikes from H-D or any of the Big Four, or at least has roughly humanly proportioned dimensions. With careful adjustment and the right technique they can be made to work, but frankly, it takes dedicated Guzzistis to put up with them in standard trim.
On that same note, linked brakes are something I've never really developed a taste for. Considering the majority of roads I'd be on while riding the EV were likely to be at best sandy and slippery, and at worst covered with snow and ice, a linked brake system, especially one without ABS, would seem to create more problems than it solves. Fortunately, for the most part the roads remained dry, and my arguments against linked brakes remained largely theoretical.
Other than those two issues, there is a lot to like about the EV. The 1064cc V-twin revs a little slow, but it pulls like Jack the Bear, especially in the midrange. The engine management package is superb. When it comes to fuel injection MG has really done its homework, and it shows. The bike started easily despite the cold, even when the temperature dropped into the single digits, and it immediately settled into a consistent idle, with none of the snorting, spitting or stalling that plagues some other bikes. There was no lean surging or any other indication that the mapping was less than perfect.
The transmission is still a bit on the agricultural side, but it shifts much better than any of its predecessors. It's still possible to miss a gear change here and there, but that's mainly due to the balky shift mechanism.
Once underway the EV handles quite well. It's a bit firmer than most cruisers, but likely the best-handling member of the club, at least until Ducati starts building one. The bike steers accurately, holds its lines well and has a light, taut feel that belies its cruiser moniker. On the open highway it feels planted and stable at high speed, high speed of course being a relative term when you're riding the thing in below-freezing temperatures all night. Dedicated Guzzi riders tell me they routinely drag the high floorboards on these things, though I'm not sure that's something to be proud about.
While my stint on the EV took place in midwinter, riding the EV during Mother Nature's worst isn't as tough as it sounds. The weather protection is first-rate for a cruiser, and not at all bad by touring-bike standards. The small fairing/windscreen and foot guards block more wind than you'd think, and the heavily valanced fenders keep the muck and mire at bay. When you factor in the heated grips, why it's practically as easy as taking the car.
In the end, the California EV Touring is a good, if slightly flawed, motorcycle, especially if you like your cruising with a sporting flair and some touring capability. It has that indisputable Italian bike cachet as well, if that sort of feature is important to you. Now if they'd only fit decent foot controls to the thing...

Featured School of Communication Student: Hunter Ingram
Last Spring, Hunter Ingram, 21, a senior communication major was awarded Student of the Year for Media Studies after having been nominated by an anonymous faculty member. “I honestly didn’t know that there was an award like this, but I was really honored to get it,” said Ingram as he reflected on his achievement. “It was nice to see that everyone recognized all that I was trying to accomplish, and all the work I’ve done at ECU.”
Apart from his work in the School of Communication, Ingram also participates in many extracurricular activities on campus. Ingram started working for The East Carolinian in October 2010 as the film critic and a copy editor. Since then, he has worked his way up the ladder, being promoted to head copy editor, staff writer, and lifestyles editor, until reaching his current position as managing editor.
Ingram has also been heavily involved in the Student Activities Board since he started at ECU in Fall 2009. As a devoted moviegoer, Ingram found his niche in the SAB Films committee. Ingram started out as a committee member in 2009, working his way up to secretary in 2010. He now holds the position of Films Committee chair for the second consecutive year.
“When I first applied (to be film chair), what I wanted to do differently was make sure that the films we showed on campus reached as many groups as possible,” Ingram said of his experience with the committee.
In his time as films chair, he has done that through programming for the different audiences on campus. This includes the journalism students in the School of Communication. He hosted an event last spring which featured the documentary “Page One: Inside the New York Times.”
As chair of the committee, Ingram works alongside the committee’s faculty advisor, Krista Wilhelm. Wilhelm is the Assistant Director for Educational Programming for the Student Activities and Organizations office. “Hunter is diligent, detail oriented, and hardworking,” said Wilhelm. “When he says he’s going to do something, I have full confidence that he’ll get it done. It makes my job as an advisor much easier.”
Wilhelm acknowledges Ingram’s passion for the SAB Film’s committee and the film industry as a whole, noting; “Hunter really is just so passionate about films. He knows everything there is to know about them. We won’t find anyone as good as him in that regard. That’s because it’s his hobby. It’s not work for him, it’s fun.”
Ingram is plugged into the communication outlets on campus. He feels proud to represent the School of Communication in these organizations, and is humbled that they recognized his achievements with this award.
As for his future, Ingram hopes to use his concentration in media studies and his concentration in Film Studies to continue working as a film critic.

I’ve been driving a Chevy VOLT (a Plug-In Hybrid) for 6 months and often get asked about battery charging. How is it done, how often, how long does it take, etc. The purpose of this video is to offer just a little bit of insight into the re-charge process.
Not mentioned in the dialog for this video is the fact that what we refer to as “chargers” is in reality not a “charger”. The technical term for the device is “EVSE” which means “Electric Vehicle Service Equipment”. The actual “charger” is built into the car and the EVSE is simply a communication device between the incoming electric service and the car.
To simplify things, we’ll continue to refer to them as “chargers”.
There are, basically, THREE charger levels.
Level 1: These devices come with an EV and plug into a standard 110v electrical outlet as found in our homes. The process is slow and puts in 3-4 miles of range per charge hour. In the Chevy VOLT’s case, bringing a depleted battery to full charge takes 12-13 hours. A full electric EV has a much larger battery so using a Level 1 charger can easily take 24+ hours.
Level 2: These chargers are 220v and come in 20 amp to 60 amp sizes. 40amp or 50amp is typical. These chargers can be used at home and are also very commonly available in charge stations found in public places. These chargers typically add about 25 miles of range per charge hour. One of these chargers can take 8-12 hours to restore a full electric EV’s battery.
Level 3: Also know of a “DC Fast Chargers” pump power directly into a battery at faster speed. This type of charger is NOT suitable for home but is found in places where travelers are likely to be taking their electric vehicles. These chargers can add around 100 miles of range per charge hour so they are a must for anyone taking an EV on a road trip.
Tesla “Super Chargers” are in this category and are specific to Tesla EV’s. In fact, the Super Charger network is exactly why Teslas are most desirable for individuals planning road trips with an EV.
