no more new internal combustion engines

I do not worry about the future , my future is right NOW !

Exactly John, so is mine, which I presently enjoy with both CBs

To be practical, by the time the world adjusts motorcycles to the new era of zero-emission, most will be ridin' their CB1100s to a Sunday mornin' parking lot meet 'n' greet and coffee. Following that, it will be back home for a nap, then off to pick up some produce and Depends at the grocery store on the eScooter.

Dang the future is bright.

Doesn't sound so bad... The Depends is the only adjustment I'll need to make, and that convenience might be just the ticket!

When I bought my box of depends before my prostatectomy I told the young girl behind the check out that they were for my Granddad , I do not think that she believed me.

I’ve often thought a catheter would help on long, cold, wet, highly layered riding days. Maybe Depends would be a simpler solution.

Certainly better than pulling out any misaligned barbs of a catheter. :-/

 

[Gone in 60]

Some long distance racers wear catheters. When I crewed on a Baja 1000 buggy, the drivers wore them - the EXTERNAL versions, that is. Sometimes, you just can't stop. Luckily, those of us who drove the chase trucks didn't need to take such measures.

Seems like an overkill, but I get it, it's a race and sometimes every second counts.

'14 CB1100 STD 5 speed

 

[Whoops]

Back in the paper log book days before trucks were tracked via satellite, I knew a few drivers that would wear condom catheters so they could drive without stopping. One of the drivers who was coming back for time off would usually pickup a load on the East Coast and drive non-stop, except for fuel stops, all the way back to our terminal in Salt Lake so he would have an extra couple days off. That scared me a little bit I must confess.

Sires, you got a kinky sense of humor sometimes.

This was quite common in Europe for drivers shipping late 90's Sun Microsystems "StarFire" computers. They were worth millions at the time and several were hijacked for their CPU's. They then had to have two drivers with external catheters and no stopping. Crazy to think a little 4" high server will cream one of these mammoth machines today.

I rode my bikes for 6 weeks with a catheter and on smooth road it was ok but on a road with an uneven surface or pot holes it was " painful from the jolting in my bladder .

Electric cars are to be the green future of the automotive industry. However, in practice, today their use may be more harmful to the environment than driving internal combustion cars. - In order for an electric car that consumes 15 kWh of energy to be able to receive this electricity, the power plant must consume 55 kWh - explains P. Goller from the Automotive Industry Institute. He adds that the emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere is a very important factor. - In order to produce these 55 kWh of energy, the power plant must emit 16 kg of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. A gasoline car emits 14 kg of CO2

The next is recycling.....

You are right, ... and you are wrong. It depends on the type of power plant, on when it has been built, and how far away it’s located. To spare you a complicated, detailed analysis, let me give you an average number covering all sorts of (modern, more or less clean) power plants, all types and length of high voltage lines, and ignored the CO2 emitted in the process of building the plants and lines. If we managed to change /convert all our vehcles to electric in the US or in Western Europe, this would bring our transport related CO2 emissions down by about 50%. This value is not out of thin air, and it’s closer to reality than Goller’s biased assessment.
Good enough ? too bad ? worth the effort ? ... your judgement.
But be careful when people with high incentives at stake make declarations like this. It’s hard to argue with the boss who hired you for promote his point of view.

Honda's "vision" for the future completely ignores the fact they are failing in their core business - transportation for the present and immediate future. Which is what would fund their future. We've lived through Honda's Golden Age, and it's been great, but it's luster has gone dull.

So does that mean you have no interest in a Honda robot dressing you, or one of their Honda human aircraft taking you to the party? What about returning from the party? What about when it is time for bed? Honda could be there for you.

If their robot Asimo is any reflection, they have a long way to go, compared to Hyundai, who recently bought Boston Dynamics.

Hmmm, yeah, you are so right.

But the Japanese has that "real human skin" thing going maybe too good I have heard.
