  1. Ohio does have helmet laws and I think they are a good minimum. Riders under the age of 18 and novice riders (first year) have to wear a helmet. I think that's at least a good start.
  2. An interview with Elon Musk http://www.newsweek.com/id/145876
  3. I actually wouldn't be surprised to see Yamaha pull something out of their sleeves within the next few years with the R1.
  4. "The Opel Eco Speedster tops out at 155 mph (250 km/h) and clocked an average fuel economy of 113 mpg over a 24-hour road test. A combination of low weight (1,445 lbs / 660 kg), minimal drag, mid-engine design, and a 5-speed automatic transmission let the Eco Speedster rip and sip at the same time. Opel built the car to spotlight its ability to make highly-efficient, next-generation diesel cars that are a blast to drive. GM (Opel’s parent company) sadly doesn’t seem particularly interested in sharing such cars with its North American customers. -- http://www.flixxy.com/fuel-economy-performance-car.htm
  5. Yeah I don't know anyone that means literally a 200MPG gas only engine. Neither did I. It's an exaggeration to make a point by most I know that make that statement.
  6. or wait until the '10 1kRR which will be even better.
  7. Here's the point we could easily have an alternative energy or cars that got 200 miles to the gallon in the next 5 years if we wanted. There just has to be a true demand for it. As long as we keep pumping out oil from new places you better believe they are going to take their time finding it. Milk everyone of us gas guzzling suckers for all we're worth with the current technology we have so they don't have to invest as much in new technology quickly.
  8. to the board. There's some sort of Nick plague spreading....
  9. Sorry we have reached our official Nick capacity and we are going to have to ask you to leave.
  10. Nay I tell you. Need someone to put a boot up someone's ass for more alternative energy.
  11. Some will need to be bailed out, but not all. There's a couple like Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac that if left to fail could cause our economy to nearly collapse. I'm not sure that wouldn't be a bad thing necessarily, but I don't have too much faith in my fellow human beings.
  12. Looks like you need more practice. :boxing:
  13. I tell you what if I could find some place close that I could take the boys to ride 2-3 times a week they wouldn't have a choice. They would love it though.
  14. Didn't get to see it but read about Pedrosa losing it after having the lead. At least that's what I got from the short blurb I read. Tough losing that many points with a DNF with everything being so close. Hopefully his injuries aren't too bad.
  15. Looks like you wore the pimp hand out.
  16. I'm biased. Traded my 06 600RR in for an 08 1KRR.
  17. Yeah that completely sounded not the way I meant.
  18. I actually went outside since it was down. There's nature and shit out there...neat.
