Then I'd only have to stay in front of them for 80 miles max before they ran out of juice!
I got to thinking about motorcycles today during my daily 3.5 mile walk, the Harley Livewire in particular came to mind, and I thought, "who'd pay 29K for an electric motorcycle"? Then out of the blue a Sheriff passed me going slow and I thought, THE GOVERNMENT, THAT'S WHO'D SHAMELESSLY SHELL OUT 29K FOR AN ELECTRIC MOTORCYCLE ! Think about it. If Harley Davidson marketed this bike to Police Departments from coast to coast and stirred up the Greenies they might be able to pull this off. Are they smart enough?

When the Green deal takes over, we'll all need electric bikes and cars, and solar powered houses that have been totally rebuilt with electric barbecues, ranges and ovens, the list goes on and on !
Trillions of dollars later and I'll still be rocking petrol in my air cooled Buell.

Theres a scene in iRobot where Will Smith jumps on his MV Agusta to save the heroine from rampaging robots and she's worried enough about the bike she says something like 'Does this thing run on gasoline? Gas explodes ya know!'
He replies "I hope so!"
Green deal or not, the jack booted thugs will have to pry the V-twin keys out of my cold dead hands.
They won't come for your gas vehicle's, they'll just tax the **** out of you and give you tickets up the wazoo until you give it up, kind of what they do now in Cali, you guys should know !
And just another reason to add to my list of Why California Sucks.
Where will the money come from for road maintenance?
Isn't a lot of that from the tax on gasoline and diesel right now?
Batteries are not the wave of the future.

Reminds me of the song "Red Barchetta" by Rush. Forward thinking lyrics from the 70's that don't seem so unthinkable these days. The kid in the song secretly takes his Uncle's car that has been hidden away for 50 years out for a rip after the "Motor Law" went into effect. He gets chased by 2 police "Alloy Air Cars", but ends up blowing them away and again hiding the car back in his Uncle's farm. Always loved that song.

In my hair
Shifting and drifting
Mechanical music
