Oil isn't going to last forever. In fact, it'll probably run out in the next few years. So we're going to need something as an alternative.
That sounds more like it, now how do we make it sound like a big twin with a race can on it ?
Maybe you'll be able download "tones" for it??

Could you imagine if we lived long enough to witness it.
Cities all ban any other traffic but these bikes or fuel cell cars. Manufacturers decide not to add engine noises.

How bizzare would it feel to walk around the west end, see all this traffic whizzing about....but in absolute silence.

I'd ride one just for that...and cos its unique.

It could be great, very surreal. You could stop at lights and chat away withough shouting over engine noise. I think generally people will be more at ease, less noise, less hectic, less destractions.

I can't imagine ever making scooters sound even more anoying than they do already, but I'm proven wrong once again
