    rubber bands won't do it, you see it won't behave like a 2 twanger it would be like a 4 stroker with a constant and BIG power curve right across the range.

    Which bike? Do yah mean our KDX with an F&P wash cycle motor implant? Haven't you heard, them spin cycles are very high RPM and silently smoooth. With Cheese riding it like the phantom through the bush the legend will grow. Holy smoked cheese what was that that just flashed by?

    It could have a two way switch like the ktm's...
    delicate and heavy wash....... doesnt it affect the handling of the bike when all of a sudden it goes into spin mode ??...but on the other hand a bike that washes itself while you ride..that could be cool
    Holey smoked cheese what was that ..that flashed by...well not so much flashed ..more like agitate,spin,and shake with a trail of soap bubbles...

    well it all comes around doesn't it. the TT500 hippies will buy into it what with their penchant for flashing in the bush, and we can fill the tank up with liquid Dynamo so that'll keep Barty and his converted ones happy too!

    After just having a quick spin on a couple of electric vehicles (one was a bike)...... all i can say is that the future is bright for performance with electric. Only problem i found was the top speed. However since early petrol cars had the same problem im sure this will be resolved quickly (with a gearbox......even a CVD or similar system).
    Torque and simplicity are the key with electric vehicles. However i will always hold a special place for petrol engines.

    how would you pre-mix your battery fluid?........... the noise, the smell, and enviromental destruction are what its all about. anyyhing electrical always gives you trouble, like my $6000 plasma which only lasted 3 years and blew up months after the warranty expired..............im not convinced

    u take it back anyway? consumers guarintees act usually cover things like that pretty well

    -goods must last for a reasonable amount of time- 3 years is pretty un reasonable for a $6000 tv
