    Why do they do this? They could bung the techmology into, say, a featherbed
    frame and running gear. Instead, they get the crayons out, and try to
    reinvent the whole motorcycle aesthetic.

    platypus came up with the following;:
    I think it's much more like a Downhill Mountain bike scaled up a little,
    rather than a motorbike scaled down.

    I quite like the looks of it ... but then, I also ride a mountain bike 'in
    anger' sometimes ... ;)

    Keelworm came up with the following;:
    Only the one saying 6 o'clock ...

    I've emailed him to tell him what you said, 7 to 7.30 is realistic but
    haven't had a reply yet. Looks to me, based upon the address, like it's at
    his place of work and 6 is the latest they finish.

    No worries if you can't get there, or he can't accomodate, I've set a limit
    based upon not seeing it anyway of 275, so if I get it then buyer beware.
    Would be nice for a nod of yeah or nay though. ;)

  17. Hmm, suggests the power pack could be used in the Gobi, in
    Antarctica, Africa or the Outback. Well, I've been to half those places
    and didn't see many hydrogen dispensers...

    Roll on the day when you can just stick some snow in the tank and go.

    Now where are those packs of dehydrated water?
