140 miles to the gallon. durn. i've wondered why they don't put this technology in bikes. guess maybe they think it won't sell. but i'm sure some bikes would sell if you said you could get 140 miles to the gallon.

The scooter craze got nipped in the bud here for a little bit. The president of Ohio State just lost his son-in-law in a scooter accident, and his daughter is going to have rehab--I think for hip & leg, but she also had some kind of head injury. They expect her to recover fully in about six months.
They were 2-up on a vespa, and collided with an SUV.

I hope their deaths are not in vain and this will bring more attention to the matter of Automobile safety towards 2 wheeled transportation.
