With all the hoopla and excitement over the proposed and hopefully soon-to-be-implemented Electric Motorcycle class I want to propose and get everyone excited about a Diesel powered motorcycle class. Better mileage, much easier on the environment, and best of all, we can all refuel from the grease tank on the catering truck!!! I would probably bring in some fancy grease from a hoity-toity French restaurant for those who demand the very best in Bio Fuels and need more Grease Power as well as have a nicer aroma out the tail pipe. Who needs MR12 when you can have PF(Pomme Frittes)15!!! Below are a couple rides I'm considering while(within the next couple of days, I'm sure) the Diesel Power frenzy takes hold amongst our WMRC members. Please vote in poll to help me decide. Hey, if it worked for Jason G, why not me?
Pffft, I think we should go with something more like this, which I hereby dub the 'Ted Class'... for obvious reasons:
WOW!!! Amesome, I just ordered this one off ebay for $50000, way better than spending money on electric stuff... I wanna hear my motor run!!!!! It may not turn well enough to make the corner in 5, so I'll just ride through the grass like Rusty does!!!! Maybe if I crash I can still get points for last place. :evilgrin::evilgrin::evilgrin:
Marbod, That "Panzer Diesel" is definitely you! I'll bet the bike could set a new track record. It just looks lean, mean, and ready for business. BTW - What's the scoop on the chains running to the bars? Some kind of space age, high speed stabilization system? Those damn europeans... Always coming up with new stuff. I'm going to finish this Corona, and then head to Home Depot, buy 6 ft. of chain and see if I can rig something similar to my bike
definitely the first bike as it will be easy to make 'wide' in the corners and hard to pass. Just dont count on breaking any track records with it.
F*ck electric and diesel. Let's get into the 21st century here. We need an atomic energy bike class. I'm sure there's lots of different designs in development and it's not that expensive to make in your own garage. Weapons grade plutonium is readily available world-wide; just call 1-800-ASK-OSAMA to order. I wasn't able to locate any photos of prototype bikes but design of different riding suits is well under way (Ted models the first one for us).
