    Hey you almost a gold wing

    http://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-...ing/28043.html

    I ran across this on Facebook and was thinking if the Chinese do produce it will it be the down fall of the flat 6 internal combustion engine? I have read some articles on electric cycles all ready in production and smoothness, acceleration and lack of shifting are talked about. Distance between charges being the number one drawback.

    Riding a Goldwing is like opening a can of testosterone.

    Many are saying that this is the "wave" of the future for automobiles, cars, ATV's snowmobiles etc....Some so called "experts" claim that by 2025 electric vehicles with reign supreme....I guess we wait and see......Ride safe...

    If the environmental whacks could see how Russia and China are mining the earth for the materials needed for battery production they might think twice about the value of electric power. I think they believe that batteries are made beneath Walmart and have no environmental impacts. They just magically appear and you arrogant oil burners can rot in hell.

    Even the mysteek producers have an ear turned to the electric engine.

    Oh there is a big future in it-Thats why Tesla is building the worlds largest battery plant in Reno,NV.Has plans for a 30-40K car that will get 300-400miles between charges,already has a solar charged Litium ion pack that will go on the side of a house to help offset power consumption from the grid and home owners electric bill.Said to be ready in the near future for 3500 dollars plus install.As battery technology gets better which it will electric vehicles will be a common thing-IMHO.Plus that Tesla plant when up and running will put 3-6 thousand middle class people to work.

    FWIW, Tesla's stock just tanked 11% when their customer reliability feedback reports were released.

    They aren't worried about stock prices. People are lining up to buy their cars. Stock prices aren't real nowadays anyway. We live in a false economy. Unless you're like Obama and believe we have no inflation and the economy is booming.

    Not me, the stock market is a rigged casino and Tesla would not be selling cars if it wasn't for the American taxpayer footing the bill. I tend not to support companies that require tax funding to exist, a PC faux green facade and tax payer funded rebates to attract an elite customer base, but that's just me.

    The 11% drop was just a momentary glimmer of reality.

    Telsa cars are all over the place in California, especially where my son lives outside of the Bay area... It is definitely the wave of the future whether some like it or not...Their stock goes up and down like other car companies, but wait until their new $30/40000 units hit the streets with the new battery technology!!!...The stock will fly.....More bikes are now powered by batteries, more outdoor tools, mowers, blowers, etc. Once these car companies get more and more charging stations across the country...Watch out!!! Around here Ford and others are putting charging units in your garage for little or no money....
