It happened at a traffic light near the edge of town. A man cut the engine of his huge Harley Davidson motorcycle as he waited for the light to change. You might have been tempted to stare at this guy, and he would have enjoyed it. A filthy rag was fastened around his head; from beneath it a matted tangle of grey hair spilled down the back of his leather jacket. Images of skulls and bones leered from his clothing and his bare forearms. And his bike bore the emblem of a menacing black widow spider. As he waited at the light, an elderly man on a lime green moped pulled up beside him. The ringy ding ding of the moped was drowned out by the roaring thunder of the Harley. 'Boy, that's some motorcycle you've got there,' the old man choked. 'Mind if I take a closer look?' Scowling from behind his oily beard, the biker gave him the once-over. 'If it turns your crank, old-timer,' he snarled, 'go ahead.'The old man was a little far-sighted, but he wanted to take in all the scenery, so he leaned his face right over the bike and examined every inch. Looking up after a while, the old man grinned and said to the biker, 'I bet that motorcycle goes fast.' But no sooner were the words out of his mouth, the light changed, and the biker thought he'd show this old geezer what a real chopper could do. He gave it full throttle, and within 30 seconds the speedometer read 199 miles an hour. He chucked with satisfaction.Suddenly he noticed a dot in his rear view mirror, a dot that was growing larger. Something was gaining on him. What could it be? He slowed down to get a better look, and whatever the thing was it flashed past him so fast he couldn't identify it.The thing disappeared over the horizon, whipped around, and came right back at him. As it zipped past he recognized the rider. It was the old man on the lime green moped.How could this be? The biker took another look into his rearview mirror. There was that speck again coming back his way and growing larger. The biker tried to outrun it, but it couldn't be done. It was a moot point in seconds for the moped slammed into the rear of the Harley Davidson. The collision destroyed both bikes. You could hear the impact for miles.The biker extricated himself from the mangled steel pretzel that had once been his beloved Harley Davidson. But the old man had fared even worse. He lay groaning beneath the black and smoking remnants of his moped. Even the hardened biker was moved with compassion. He knelt beside the old man's face and softly asked, 'Is there anything I can do for you?'The old man choked, coughed and replied, 'Yes. Could you please unhook my suspenders from your handlebars?'"
50+ MPG isn't good enough for DUmmies, they want in in electric as well! Probably takes $20 worth of electricity to charge it (on the left coast, of course) Only in Kalifornia, the land of "fruits and nuts". If ANYONE sees me on something like that, PLEASE, RUN OVER ME! No, really. PLEASE, RUN OVER ME!
If they sell it at Best Buy, does that mean you have to go there for warranty service?Good luck with that.
The exorbitantly-expensive electric bike is just like the exorbitantly-expensive electric cars. When these silly homo transport systems run out of juice on the highway, can you walk to the nearest station and come back with a can of volts?
A washed-up actor?
bitchslapped for not knowing the movie.
Good point. Battery chargers and jump boxes are freaking heavy. I swear the one for my electric golf cart weighs 100 lbs. Some Walgreens are starting to offer electric car outlets in special parking stalls...so when you are carrying out $1000 in Rx meds...you have to **** around with unplugging your car before someone jumps you in the parking lot...
"The nation that couldn’t be conquered by foreign enemies has been conquered by its elected officials" odawg Free Republic in reference to the GOP Elites who are no difference than the Democrats
Um... Do they expect people to be there for more than a couple minutes?
Exactly. Maybe they figure pepole will shop longer while sucking up some free volts.

Technically, yes. But, where would you pour it?
A 400 lb DUmmy will be lucky to see this thing hit 40 MPH downhill...
