    A fast bike is only a carbon fiber and polymer composite shell away from the two seater commuter cars of science fiction! You know, the ones that will replace the American obsession with 1930′s grease-pit and sheet-metal monstrosities of today! May your ‘Busa be blessed as the forerunner to the battery tandem mount super-commuter in my eco-homes’ driveway, fueled by solar, urine-H2O2 gas collectors from MIT and other brilliant American scientists, and my own home based fuel cells. God help those relying on oil in the days to come, beholden to Arab and Saudi Princes and OPEC over-lords, selling off your prettiest daughters as peckker-practice for this elite! We have already fought their Sunnis and Shiite wars and died in them in Iraq, what will they want next for fewer and fewer barrels of oil for your addiction? The change-over in America may not be comfortable to all, but it is inevitable folks, so get on with it!
