Hmm. Interesting. But if they're going to flog it
as a 'green' vehicle, they need to address where the electricity is coming
from. If it's coming from a coal-fired electricity plant that doesn't have to
make its emissions very clean at all, it's that, overall, worse for the
environment? They'd just be moving the pollution from the personal space to
the corporate space. Solar, wind, or nuclear, groovy, I think there's enough
of a savings there, though I'm not sure the price of solar components is down
low enough to compete economically with fossil.
??? Cool bike, though. Wish it had
a top speed and range that was practical for me.

I wouldn't think of doing it now (older and wiser?) but I used to ride with a few Hooligans.? You could be cruising along next thing you know someone has passed you and hit the kill switch, if you just flipped the switch back on you would get a nice backfire and flame out of the pipe (espcially?a Vance & Hines).? A Vulcan 1500 had the best backfire.? Like they say what goes around comes around, I've caught?my boys doing burnouts and donuts with their dirt bikes and wasn't to happy. ? I had to work this past Saturday and brought the boys and their XR100's (with street tires) so they could ride in the parking lot while I was working.? It was raining when they started riding and they took it easy for a while, then it quit raining and as the pavement started to dry the speeds increased.? The corners were the last to dry and they had some good slides about the time mom showed up to check on them.? We
have a flat track in the back yard and they're getting pretty good at sliding through the corners but mom won't watch.? We're going on vacation next week and will see some of my old buddies and they will likely talk about the old days (70mph wheelies and such), just hope the boys don't hear.?

Just plug the line going from the air cleaner to the control valve. I used a rubber stopper, inserted it into the tube and reconnected the tube to the control valve. Voila, no more backfiring.

2 wheels per vehicle is better than "2 wheels good, four wheels bad", as there are many on this list that have MBS. I have NO four wheeled vehicles at all, by the way..my truck has six wheels.

New File Re: Air injection
Hello All, I have posted a File under the existing "Air Injection Removal" File at the W650Riders site providing comprehensive, but perhaps incomprehensible, updated instructions for removing this stuff and ordering factory replacement parts, plus a picture of the relevant service manual diagram. If anyboody does it could you please consider posting some before/after pictures, to explain the removal process better?

I rather like the look and description of
Triumph's new street triple. Any views on that one? Only down-side so far I can
see is high footpegs and them being rear-set.
Had a test report in MCN today (paper version).
