I Think The Days Bikes Rule The Roast At The Lights Coming To An End

Maybe car tyres will now last as long as sports bike tyres.

 

Hmmm, it ain’t over yet. I drag races one recently in my 911 and beat it to the quarter mile. And it’s performance dropped right off the cliff after 120 or so.
It’s coming though. Soulless computer driven battery power...

 

Only at the first 4 sets it'll be flat at the fifth

 

Awesome performance figures, but a vehicle can only go as fast as the talent of the driver allows. That will not change in my lifetime.

 

Disagree, when it comes to straight lines, bury your foot, hit low figures, performance cars are easy to drive fast in straight lines now. I agree about talent when corners arrive, but straight line speed ?? Any idiot can do it !!

 

I got massively done at the light by one of those new Honda “adventure” scooters the other day. Twist & Go 745cc. He just pinned it and got me at my first gear change

 

Don’t worry, it probably had launch control and a supercharger.

 

Sunday roast at the traffic lights? This country is going to the dogs!

No way, my tatoes, stuffing and slab of beef, all covered with gravy will always beat bikes., not forgetting yorkie puds

 

It can be controlled just like any other power supply, the real issue is that an electric motor gives maximum torque at zero rpm.

 

I had an ex mrs like that

 

Yes, with a variable frequency drive. And again yes, a motor will deliver an almost instant thump of torque. And it’s torque that launches you off the line.

 

Usain bolt can run real fast over a short distance.

 

Let’s see when it’s tested and in production first

 

It's fast but I still don't believe electric is the way forward ? 37 million cars in the UK, 1 billion cars world wide, and batteries still have a finite life, so that's an awful lot of lithium ion in landfills when the batteries are at life's end, and they are still ridiculously eco-unfriendly to produce.

 

The video, it's like a scientology meeting. Something I've not seen yet, when a vehicle accident happens one of the first things the fire brigade try and do is disconnect the battery. I wonder what extra training, equipment, cost will be needed with electric cars full of batteries?

 

im not talking straight lines, but real driving.
