I've never owned a PC but my brother-law-has one and I've ridden it.
I did ride in London on a VT500 - basically the same motor; gobs of torquey loveliness and 60mpg.

Once the conversion is done I want to turn my attention to the generator trailer concept. What's the point of a tourer with a 70 mile range?! The PC with its ICE goes less than 200 miles, right? How cool would it be to have a series hybrid bike that can go 400 miles or more without needing to refill?
Imagine tootling around town -gas free- all week and then hooking up the trailer, the wife and some luggage and heading to the mountains on Friday. Getting back on Sunday evening without needing to fill up once.

That's my dream.
