If you dig, you will learn that many have been cured successfully. I'm learning all I can, just in case the day comes when I need it.
So do you think this is a cure all or another advancement?
 
Steve McQueen went out of the country for his cancer treatment. Didn't do him much good.
 
I'm a little jaded when it comes to health care and out of country cures or even in country cures. I prefer to stay with the AMA thinking. Remember when the Amish Doctor had a cure for COVID? Or the cures a very public figure thought might work?
 
I’ve been seeing a lot of development of electric motorcycles lately.

Eric Buells’s company Fuell , has one in development,

This is a start up from a British company, Maeving. Their approach is to create an affordable, limited range city bike. Check out how easy the battery is removed and carried, with a unique charging station. The bike can either carry one battery with a range of 40 miles, or add a second battery inside the “ gas tank” and extend the range to 80 miles. The British government is offering up to £500 off the purchase price for electric motorcycles.

This bike I think is very interesting, it’s on the high end. From Tarform, all hand built by a private company in Brooklyn New York. They are pricey, but have excellent performance and a very unique sound. They actually pick up natural sounds from the drive system and amplify it “ like an electric guitar” according to the designer. The result is a rather snarly sounding electric motorcycle. This video is a bit longer because it’s not a promotional video, it’s an actual test ride by an average guy. Even if you don’t watch the whole thing, at least fast forward to a point where you can hear it, it’s pretty cool.
 
"I keep reachin' for the clutch.... an it's not there..."
That'd be me. :cautious:

That sound... sounds like it straight outta Tron. I dig it. :laugh2:
 
That Maeving RM1 might just go places. Tics all the boxes for an urban commuter. I think 60 would have been a better top end.... other than that, it's got a lot going for it. Taking the battery inside for charging (or to swap out) is genius. And I really like the styling.
To paraphrase Ryan F9..... this is the bike we need if we're gonna have an electric future.

Yeah I agree, it’s a simple design with an affordable price. If you lived in a dense urban environment and had a relatively short commute, a bike like this makes a lot of sense.
