“There are major benefits to incorporating these environmentally friendly motorcycles. It costs less than 50 cents to charge compared to using gallons of gas, maintenance is simple, and the community appreciates how quiet they are,” reports Officer Steve Carbajal of the L.A.P.D. Off-Road Unit. “Most importantly, our officers have an added tactical advantage while on patrol.”

While I would really love to get a manufacturing going for these kind of bikes....I'm not sure I agree with the "advantage" mentioned as for us "real bikers" that do not need to sneak up on anyone, we rather be heard then run over.

Lets face it, better be a "pain in the ass" (noised wise) to those socker moms then get run over by them (van on bike) because they "didn't see you"...- if my loud exhaust is bothering you bitch call the cops, but at least you didn't run over me - sry, just my 5 cents worth about first world laws, ignorant mother fucking lawmakers catering to mainstream assholes to make us "conform" then find new laws to protect us...and they wonder why we're here and do NOT pay anymore taxes to support them...(talk about corruption here...at least its out in the open)

just my drunken rant for today
