Hi folks, I'm following this... good fun. http://www.shockingbarack.com/ albatross who likes a quiet ride..

Gotta love capitalism(which I'm a firm believer in). They see the hippys around Ashland, Oregon and see a market for this kinda thing. Even if their world view is a bit skewed by living in Oregon (where I'm at by the way). They claim that they are doing this for the environment... yeah.. .no. PUBLICITY STUNT TO SELL THEM! They need them with their price tag. ($12,000) Sold by Best Buy and serviced by Geek Squad... I'm leary. Best Buy is selling Segway's now... I think the price was $6000!! The "yes we can" on the "tank" really puts me off... Interesting fact about the company that made the bike (Brammo). Last gasoline powered vehicle they produced... 3MPG. It was a V-12.
