  Heavy metal thunder?
Maybe not.
But clean and “green” for sure. Zero Motorcycles, a start-up in Scotts Valley, Calif., is steering
motorcycle technology in a different direction by going all-electric.
Unencumbered by conventional thinking about how they design,
manufacture, and sell high performance electric motorcycles,
they're on a mission to turn heads and revolutionize their industry
by combining the best aspects of a traditional motorcycle
with today’s most advanced technology.
The company's motorcycles run on 50-pound, lithium ion batteries,
averaging 45 to 55 miles on one charge.
Zero Motorcycles is the next step in motorcycle evolution and
represents the ultimate electric motorcycle technology.

[/b][/color] Plumber builds the world's longest motorbike with 25 seats. In these days of soaring fuel prices it could be the perfect answer for a Hell's Angels chapter keen to keep costs down.
Colin Furze's 72ft motorbike can seat 25 – and what's more he's proved it can be driven at speeds of 35mph.
Admittedly only Mr Furze was on the bike at the time of the test drive,
but with a few suspension modifications it's possible he could load up with passengers, as pictured here.
The Lincolnshire plumber, at the head of the bike,
used one-and-a-half 125cc mopeds and an extended aluminium frame to create the machine.
He is hoping it will be recognised as the world's longest motorbike by the Guinness Book of Records.
He managed to get the bike, which is worth around £3,000, up to 35mph, but found it almost impossible to steer.
'When I first got on it I thought it would never work and at a slow speed it's almost impossible to keep upright.
'But once you get going it becomes a bit easier, although it is a real strain on your arms as it has such heavy steering.
'It wobbled a huge amount as I drove along and apparently the back of the bike was weaving around all over the place.
'It is very difficult to handle and it would be hard to ride as you need about six widths of road to turn.
I think it is really built for Roman roads.'
Colin constructed the massive motorcycle, which takes three people to move, in his mum's back garden.
He had to cut the bikes and construct the aluminium frame,
which has been made in three parts then bolted together.
Full stretch:
Colin is joined by 25 avid motorbike lovers on his newly built motorbike. [/size][/color][/font]  __________________________

In 1903 William S. Harley and Arthur Davidson
made their first motorcycle available to the public.
Now, more than one hundred years later,
Harley-Davidson is coming out with another first
for the company, an electric motorcycle called Project LiveWire.
But the company is being cautious with its new ride.
Harley-Davidson announced today that it is taking Project LiveWire
on a 30 city tour across the United States to get rider feedback.
This will help "shape the future of Harley-Davidson's
first-ever electric motorcycle."
Harley-Davidson hopes the tour helps the company
gain insights into consumer expectations
for an electric Harley.
That means the electric motorcycle won't go on sale until
Harley-Davidson better understands the market
for electric motorcycles in the U.S.
"Because electric vehicle technology is evolving rapidly,
we are excited to learn more from the Project LiveWire Experience."
Harley-Davidson didn't provide many details about the new bike.
Time reports that the electric motorcycle generates 75 horsepower
and accelerates from zero to 60 in four seconds,
with a 92 mile per hour top speed
and 100 miles of range.
But one thing the company made sure to clear up right away
is that the bike won't be quiet!
"The sound is a distinct part of the thrill," said Richer.
"Think fighter jet on an aircraft carrier.
Project LiveWire's unique sound was designed to differentiate
it from internal combustion and other
electric motorcycles on the market."
At this point it doesn't seem that Harley-Davidson has
solved any of the challenges all-electric vehicles face:
battery range, changing time, and charging infrastructure.
But the company is clearly betting that those issues
will be addressed in the near future.
As Harley-Davidson President Matt Levatich told AP:
"We think that the trends in both EV technology and customer openness to EV products, both automotive and motorcycles, is only going to increase,
and when you think about sustainability and environmental trends,
we just see that being an increasing part of the lifestyle
and the requirements of riders," Levatich said.
"So, nobody can predict right now how big that industry will be
or how significant it will be."

Stop Pming me harassing me or I'll post stuff like "I like being a top" or other things you'e pmed me in the past.  “Why does your bike have glitter all over it?” Carlos asked, looking over at his friend’s red candy-painted Harley.
“I had it in drag the other night and can’t get it off,” Dennis replied, laughing.
With the blue skies above and the waves crashing on the sand, it’s another Sunday for the Stonewall Knights, a gay motorcycle group, as they ride down A1A.
The Stonewall Knights started in 2002 in Fort Lauderdale as a Yahoo motorcycle group and has since evolved into a statewide group. Almost every Sunday, the South Florida members meet at Peter Pan for cupfuls of coffee and plates filled with pancakes, omelets and other hearty breakfast food. Then they take off on their bikes for a ride, some longer than others, and finish at Java Boys in Wilton Manors.
When they’re not riding up the coast or around the state, the members also participate in as many pride parades as they can and attend biker gatherings, such as the famed Daytona Bike Week.
Also, every year, about a dozen members donate their time to be motorcycle escorts for Smart Ride Florida, a two-day bicycle ride from Miami to Key West to raise money for HIV/AIDS.
“To a lot of us, this is therapy,” Carlos Hazday said.
In the world of motorcycle clubs, a group must be sanctioned by the lead motorcycle club in the area – the Knights are not one of these.
Florida is Outlaws Motorcycle Club territory, and South Florida is also under the South Florida Confederation of Clubs. Becoming a motorcycle club requires dues, officers, approved patches and other strict structure, and also answering to the lead motorcycle club, for items such as hosting open houses, explained Mike Gluckman, one of the original members of the Stonewall Knights.
“The Confederation of Clubs would most likely NOT sanction us as a gay riders club."
And he’s probably right.
The chances of a gay group being sanctioned is “somewhere between none and no way. To even approach them would not be the best idea,” a motorcycle culture expert from Motorcycle Club Riding Club Education told SFGN.
“The culture is such that it’s a tribal macho man’s man world and women are second to the club and the club members.
Clubs would not condone the gay lifestyle at all.
Not saying it’s right or wrong, that’s just the way it is.”
With that, the Stonewall Knights decided that a casual structure was a better fit, operating as a social group. No dues, no officers, no official meetings, no probation period. To get a patch, an initiation in motorcycle clubs, all the group asks is active participation. Some members have a large patch, some faded more than others.
“A lot of us were the last ones chosen for baseball if you’re picking sides,” Gluckman said. “Do you want to put others through that?”
SFGN sent multiple emails to the Confederation of Clubs and the Outlaws Motorcycle Club, but got no response as of press time.
Even though they’re not a readily accepted part of the motorcycle culture, members say they haven’t had any issues with other bikers and groups.
In fact, many say people are surprised to discover that they’re gay.
Most of the riders wear bandannas, rock Harley vests, their arms are adorned with tattoos, and silver rings of skulls line their fingers.
Hazday recalled going to a biker bar with a gay motorcycle friend, socializing with the other straight riders. When it became known that they were gay, no one did anything.
“I think if we were flaming it’d be an entirely different story,” Randy Angerame, another member, said.
Lee Lawson, who has been riding since the ‘70s, has been with Stonewall since 2010 and has also been in other clubs and social riding groups. He prefers the gay groups.
“It’s much more fun, you don’t have to worry about what you say or what you do,” he said.
