To paraphrase Mark Twain, reports of the Arc Vector electric motorcycle’s death have been greatly exaggerated. The Arc Vector has ridden some proverbial twisty roads over the last few years, even before ever reaching it to production. The high-tech and high-dollar electric motorcycle debuted with fanfare at the 2018 EICMA Milan Motorcycle Show, but then

9:20 PM ET I don’t expect Fernando Tatis Jr. to hit a triple, slide into third base, get tangled up with Justin Turner and then pop up and try to punch Turner in the face, like what happened with George Brett and Graig Nettles in the 1976 American League Championship Series. I don’t expect the
