    Funny that they want to add a "Vroom Vroom" sound to it. I know someone who built a noise cancelling exhaust system for his Harley as a senior engineering project - the thing was pretty much silent from 20 feet or more away.

    Does it come with a pocket protector, flood pants, and a sign that says "Kick me" ?

    GRRRRRR...did I mention how it just totally p*sses me off when they lie like this, and it doesn't get challenged:

    'the "fuel cell" bike, which produces no polluting emissions...'

    You won't be drinking or breathing what comes out of the exhaust pipe where they make the H2 fuel from a fossil fuel.

    General motors is developing a system to get the hydrogen using sunlight! If they can get a respectable amount with the process, there wont be a huge need for fossile fuel other to compress it.

    Hydrogen is very new. Give it some time and some good things could come out of it.

    Here is a picture of a hydrogen generating plant that my partener and i built in Southfield Michigan. It is basicly an outdoor lab for Chrysler, Detroit Edison, and Lawerence Tech Inst. You cant see it but there is a pump to fill hydro cars in the parking lot area.

    Glad to give it all the time it needs (which IMO is after we burn up all the oil and coal on the planet) -- the problem is they want MY tax money. Here at CU they've got another new project looking into the solar catalytic disassociation of water at super-high temperature to generate H2 -- nice $ work if you can get it, but I predict the same outcome as cold-fusion and room temperature superconductors -- remember those? The only thing I'm sure of is, in a few years, they'll have another new project ;)
