    Sweet classics...
  2. The current federal mandate will be pushing the corporate fuel average to something like 54 miles per gallon by 2024. Jeez right now a lot of bikes dont do that well. So its kinda of a force on industry to develop better ICE for fuel economy and then they get a incentive credit for producing electric vehicles.
  3. ^^^^^ cool vid and bike... I might take you up on that - keep in touch and let me know how your doing...
  4. That Brammo is pretty cool - I would like to ride it for grins. Dunno if I would buy one though. As far as electric vehicles go, I would be more interested in a full bodied 3 wheel style to go to work in. -Go to work, come home, plug in at nite.

  6. They should call it - garriage... or they dont get married, they get garried..... Then marriage stays man/women and gariage is same sex.. Goofy thought for the day......
  7. Small world - pretty cool. What's he up to? Tell him I said "hi" next time you talk to him.
  8. Hey N&V cool project you got going. A tip for you for some ideas/help, see if you can hook up with a guy that goes by "frodus" in motorcycle threads. He has done several conversions and worked with electric bike racing at the Isle of Mann. I have lost track of him, but he eats and sleeps electric vehicles. Here's a start from VFRworld... http://vfrworld.com/forums/mechanics-garage/13300-1986-vfr700f-electric-conversion.html I know there are other updated threads, but I cant find them. Good luck
  9. Looking good! Great job! Very cool...
  10. Ive had that happen too. Was wondering about that....
  11. The formation flying is impressive - I wonder what kind of control protocol is going on... Ever see this one? It's being used for surveillance - the Libyan revolution troops actually bought one. - Next add small arms and you got something nasty. http://www.aeryon.com/
  12. Getting older is inevitable. Growing up is optional...

    Short and sweet....... - reg IRA - some tax saving now - lots more tax later - Roth - a little more tax now - NO tax later
  14. Kinda cool...... In the holy shit column - kinda of a guided cruise missile bullet to hit a target a mile away. - Jeez, someone could get nailed, and nobody would see who did it.... http://news.yahoo.com/self-guided-bullet-strikes-target-mile-away-video-132957445.html

    - First if your workplace has a 401k plan - work to max it out all you can first. - With a regular IRA, you are allowed to deduct the contribution from you gross income, thus saving some on taxes, $5000 up to 50 years old and $6000 over 50. Also there is a forced withdrawl or distribution at 70 1/2. And there is a major tax hit in case of an early withdrawl. - With a Roth IRA, you can again contribute up to $5K but the money cant be deducted off gross income at tax time. The benifit is that any gains are not taxed ever, and there is no requirement to take out any distributions. Also after 5 years of owning the account - you can take out your base (your original money that you put in, - there might be an over 50 years old requirement on that. gotta check) - If you can stand getting by without the upfront tax deduction, the Roth is the better vehicle over the long haul. I'm sure other "gurus" will kick in........
  16. It's too big a coincidence that both sites had failures. It has to be something in common like an engineering eff up, bad materials or name it. I'm sure OHSA is gonna have a hay day with it.
  17. Actually my last one was an '88 accord that I bought with 89k on it and ran it to 206K. Sold it for $900 and bumped into my '90 at 86K for $2000. I'm gonna keep going for old low miles Accords - cheap, reliable, and more money for motorcycles.
  18. 267K miles? It's an insperation for my '90 Accord with 119K on it.
  19. I have heard nothing but good things about Spencers seat mods - although he is in Florida, he will do anything you want.. http://greatdaytoride.com/Home_Page.php
  20. Outstanding build. I had been curious about bits and pieces of it. The yamaha calipers had me head scratching about the front end. Very cool bike. -- GLWS
