Battery Powered Dirt Bikes?

   If this thing can get out of it's own way for longer than 15 minutes at a time I would be surprised. Electric motors do have good torque at low speeds, so popping wheelies are not a problem.
 
Then we stop and switch to “0 to 60 mph” mode and flick the other lever to “Sport.” Twist that right grip, and the Zero X will pull the tire a few inches off the ground as it accelerates—even with your weight pitched slightly forward. Saiki says it can hit 30 mph in just two seconds, and cautions that “the battery dumps a lot of amps—really quick.” Indeed. It pulls serious wheelies—if that’s what you dig.
 
   After popping about eight wheelies you will have to push the bike home.

Sarkozy Trying To Make Peace

   I am having computor issues, so getting a post in is a little difficult these days. Hopefully I will have a fix soon.
 
Anyway, for today's dose of global warming issues, we have got the 'Union of the Mediterranian', put together by French President Sarkozy. It's not just about global warming, but several issues that he wants all the countries invited to look at.
 
French President Nicolas Sarkozy urged nations around the Mediterranean to "learn to love one another rather than to continue to hate each other and wage war."
 
Who would have guessed that what Rodney King said so many years ago would still be so popular today?
 
Later in the article he sounds like another famous person:
 
Sarkozy made the unusual step of reaching out to Syria, a nation often accused of sponsoring terrorism and undermining regional unity, in an effort to bring it back into the international fold ahead of Sunday's summit.
"How can we make peace if we don't speak with" everyone, Sarkozy asked alongside the Israeli and Palestinian leaders Sunday morning.
 
Any guesses? Hint: He is currently running for president of the United States.
