thanks for that pic.....can you imagine what us burning gas will sound like to folks 150 yrs down the road.....be like hunting whales ..... or western slavery... or buffolo shooting train rides.....in vogue in their own eras......burn it up.....i'm getting mine...

just say no i'll walk before i ride an electric bike they have no soul.if all i wanted was transport i'd drive my truck year round

i agree, electric has no soul compared to our gas motors but remember no gas means no trucks, unless its a diesel? but given the choice of never being on a bike again or an electric alternative? ill take the electric and play zz-top in my i-pod i guess?ha.

i have worked in the oilfield in canada and the us for years and i can tell you with some certainty that we definitly wont be running out of oil anytime soon the only reason that gas prices are and have been as high as they have been is due to greed pure and simple. i have been to places the oil is literally soaked in the ground and they haven't even scratched the surface of that supply yet so i don't really see the need to give up the machines we all love to ride.

I sure hope not.

Hell I'll rock an electric bike when the time comes. No soul? That's probably what they said when they went from horses to steam powered stuff, and again from steam to gas. And they were right, then, too. The times they are achaaaanging...

My need for speed will eventually conquer my penchant for vehicular nostalgia.

I'll keep my bike, just out of sentiment. Besides, if I get real desperate I'll see if there is a way to homebrew "bio-gas" for it. I've heard there processes, just not sure if there is a DIY kit for the home hobbiest/KZ owner.

ill make myself a still(spell check) and run my stuff on moon shine first!:laugh:

where there is a will, there is a way...remember when cars started sporting computers?....everyone thought that was the end of modding cars and look what you can do now....yeah, it wont be the same,
but we will adjust....plus by the time that tech is mainstream, we will all be drooling on ourselves and chasing the candystripers in our wheelchairs....lol....:laugh:

so RUSH had a song years back called red barchetta(sp)where the guy years from now in the future brave new world... gets his uncles hidden forbiddin car from a barn and heads out on the road feeling the power and grace of the drive...only to be detected by the future big brother and chased down by the culture police....or somthing like that.....i think of it on topics like this......life imitates art...flash gordon...wag the dog...ect.. i remember a guy telling me allways keep a set of points on your bike cuase when the bombs finally get launched they will knock out a dyna ignition but points will still start the bikes alla mad max.....disclaimer:i have not smoked anything in years

well if the bombs start falling i think my pacemaker will give out about the same time as electronic ignitions will so im not too concerned!:laugh:
