Going Silent
sandblaster:
From the nationals to your local MX track all you will hear is the sound of the tires throwing roost over the sound of the bike mechanics.
Down the long hard straights all you will hear is the whirring of the knobs slapping the hard pack....
You will hear the riders insulting one another while elbowing for position and their bleating cry's when they get cut off.
No more will be the sweet smell of Motul 800 or other non 2T noxious potions wafting through the crowds.
You won't be able to ignore your wife while blaming the roaring sounds of the exhaust due to your being hard of hearing...
What's this world coming too?
Foxx4Beaver:
yup...might as well just watch....golf, at that point :? :|
demographic:
They have some electric bikes competing in the Isle of Man TT, in their own category (TT Zero.) but they fairly shift.
I'd love a go on one of them.
134 horsepower and 162 foot pounds of torque isn't too shabby.
sandblaster:
There has been several recent advancements in battery technology offering more storage capacity, quicker charging, and quicker power dump.
It's just a matter of time....

I remember several years back, those idiots at OCC did an episode where they built an electric bike...and when they were testing it, it was quite impressive the acceleration it had.
I remember a couple of them being scared of it, because back then it had a bit of a toggle switch power band.
