I'm not really into those Formula E open wheelers, don't think I'll be into these either, but we'll see. It's real. "Michel Riis This is a very "dangerous" topic in here. But this is our latest bike. We will be testing in Germany this week at FIM training camp in Diedenbergen 🙂"  |

I guess in this modern day of age now ,we have to accept change ,a little like the first BMW bike to hit our shores full time and many others
Our interests around jawa and a few others was mainly mainstream when it came to the speedway fix at Western Springs ,when i was a cowboy on two wheels ,and many others on here were tadpoles swimming ..

This is the next generation of models to come about and as with all technology will improve over time. Weight and torque delivery still needs a fair bit of work. |

Oh no so where is the noise going to come from will a methanol fueled bike's sound be amplified over the P.A system.

I’d be happy to watch these if they run them in the same race and at the same time as superstocks, that’d be entertaining. Speedway is about the sight & sound, and smell somewhat, if you get rid of those elements you have something not particularly interesting or entertaining.
Speedway should actually be leading the way in alternative fuels, showing how the greenhouse gases can be reduced/eliminated to a point where those fuels can outperform EV’s environmentally. There are folk involved with speedway capable of doing just that.

And here i thought you were a front line World leader on Green gases to save the planet .

Like a hot dog with no tomatoe sauce.
Bring on the alternative fuel.

I think that the pace technology is advancing they'll sort the weight issue out fairly quickly meeaneemic my wife bought me a new jump starter pack for my birthday in May and I only took it out of the box yesterday, amazing downsizing, starts a V8 with ease, even charges cell phones and has a powerful torch. Still hopeful of an alternative fuel, wonder what John Britten would've done..  |

You best to stick to your backyard possibilities  and dont blow any more energy thinking as some one will need a big cork plug that certainly has no glow .. |

Wasnt Bill Buckley romoured to have biult an engine that ran on water sitting in his front reception. Come to think of it there have been many rumours since even BC BG (before google) of water powered engines. If youve got one laying around now might be a good time to bring it out |
