Well yes they do. Some of the best in the world. What you may not realize is that they also have been developing a state of the art automobile suspension system. It’s hard to explain how truly amazing the system is. It’s better to just see it in action here. It uses linear electromagnetic motors instead of the now old fashioned gas cartridge. You can read all the details here. I can’t wait to drive a vehicle with this system.
So why can’t we make it through a traffic light?
That is my question after seeing this video of traffic in India. Maybe our traffic laws actually cause problems. That does it for me. I think I’m going to drive like this from now on. Hehehehe

The AMA (American Motorcyclist Association) has just finished filming their new public safety video. It was filmed in Ohio with AMA members and will be provided free to TV stations. I wonder how many times we will actually see this video air. One interesting fact is that motorcycle accidents are up 85%. I hope things like this PSA will help raise driver awareness.
A buddy and I went for a motorcycle ride to see the flight 93 memorial today. I must say it is something you should go and see as well as pay your respects to those that lost their lives. It will most certainly refocus your support on the war on terror in this world.
Ride Statistics:
Miles=280
Total Time=7:16

Both the giant pig and the helicopter are also traveling at the same speed as you.

Hit by lightning while riding a motorcycle?
It is not only possible but it happened in Colorado recently. Apparently a man was struck by lightning while riding his sportbike and wrecked, sliding 150 feet. He was killed instantly. No more riding in thunderstorms for me.
