Too bad he didn't understand the importance of a helmet :(

I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.

VanWagner, who was not wearing a helmet, was pushed into the back of a pickup truck and died two days later of severe head injuries at Shands at the University of Florida.

:(

I'm not sure the situation that he was in, but either way: This is why it's always a good idea to leave yourself some sort of out. Never stop at a light behind a car in such a fashion where you couldn't scoot between rows of cars or up the shoulder if someone behind you decided not to brake.

I would guess lower compression, or it could be the 6 inch exhaust pipes.

The sound in that video is pretty deceiving. I could see a neighbor thinking someone is racing around town at highway speeds, getting angry, and then looking out the window to see some guy doing a whole 15mph on a minibike.

Well, that's pretty much all it is. Heavy and expensive, but a proper electric scooter available right now. At least I think it is.

Weight wise it's 234kg, halfway between a T-Max and a Silver Wing, so not out of line for a maxi-scoot. One price I found on a brief search shows 7k pounds/11k euro so pricey, but not unreasonable. Less than a lovely car, anyway. 35-55 (55-88km) mile estimated range, 100kph top speed. It's a start, at least.

And that's why I love anything electric on the market. They will keep dropping in price and gaining in range, perfect commut-o-matics in a few years.

I used to really want one for commuting, but as mentioned elsewhere, my new job doesn't require that. All I need is Gene Kelly's dancing shoes and singing voice - 7 mins by foot is fantastic.
