** Death knell of motorcycling as we know it. **

Even at the age of 38, I'm not worried about it for myself, or even the next few generations. But someday, the Earth will give up its last barrel of crude oil....and long before that, it will have become absurdly expensive.

That said, I'm all for the advancement of battery and electric power....but I still don't think that's the long-term answer. I've read many articles that claim even if electric vehicles were to be produced as wide-scale as the petroleum equivalents, there isn't enough Lithium on Earth to supply the demand. Not even close!
It's scary to see how much we depend on petroleum. We've built our entire economies and lives around it, and both of them cease to function as we know it, if petroleum goes away.

So, eventually in the long-term future, I think we'll see huge advancements in solar and hydrogen power, but do they have limitations? I don't know.
Like, is a hydrogen-powered motorcycle physically possible and practical? Safe? Affordable?? It's crazy to wonder such things.
As human population continues to expand exponentially, it would be really interesting to pick up a history book a thousand years from now.
