Ummm...that looks like a linked/levered shock up front or a single fork. Maybe you could set some playing cards up to make noise as you ride! Better yet,install an amp and speaker that makes a "vroom,vroom" sound as you happy ass goes down the road. Actually,thay would be kinda cool...cruising the strip picking up college chicks-crank it up!,4am and you're trying to sneak home past the wife-sound off.

Unless they have a tip on the future gas prices being totally fucking outrageous, now they're just outrageous.
Looks like more of a bicycle than a real motorcycle.

gas isnt going to last forever with demand increasing everyday. Prices will keep rising, it's not going to get any better. Anything we can do to ease oil dependency the better for this country. I'd switch to hydrogen in everything I owned if the system would start putting out filling stations everywhere, the oil companies are going to fight that tooth and nail though.

Not necessarily. They'll get their dime from making the hydrogen. Unless someone gets enough renewable sources to manufacture hydrogen without depending on existing power plants or refining processes.

true, you still use oil to make the hydrogen and deliver it. I still say we make a big wind farm out of north dakota.

We could start buy turning off the lights around DLit's home!! Then we'd be able to use alot of the electricity from the Hoover Dam for the rest of the country to power the electric cars that companies are starting to build. We just need to figure out a way to get more miles per charge.
