Depends on whom you ask, I reckon. I prefer getting to work on time and going as fast as safely possible. These mopeds might be a good thing for resort rentals, etc...

Who could possibly think that "Enertia" would be a good name for a motorcycle?

I suppose they'll hire PeeWee Herman for a spokesman, too.

Loud pipes cause hearing loss. I can't believe y'all aren't totally deaf. Can't bikes just use rotating bright lights to draw attention like firetrucks do?

Harley sets plans for 105th birthday bash

A four-day celebration of Harley-Davidson’s 105th anniversary next summer will take place at most of the usual spots - and the new Harley-Davidson Museum.

The anniversary celebration will kick off at 105 different official starting points around the country, with rides heading toward Milwaukee on 25 major routes, the company announced today.

The first ride will kick off on Aug. 17, and all the rides will finish in Milwaukee on Aug. 27. The anniversary celebration itself is planned for Aug. 28-31, 2008.

It will be “the biggest anniversary's ride in company history,” Harley-Davidson spokesman Bob Klein said.

The celebration will be centered around Milwaukee’s lakefront, including the Summerfest Grounds, as well as the Harley-Davidson Museum. Harley hasn’t announced the date for the museum’s grand opening, but Klein said the museum it will be ready for the anniversary event. Discovery World will also feature a Harley exhibit.

Most events will be available to ticket-holders only. Ticket packages will go on sale Aug. 15, with advanced tickets sales for Harley Owners Group members planned for Aug. 1-15. Tickets cost $60 plus $5 for shipping and handling.

Those who buy tickets will be entered into special drawings to see the museum and obtain a parade pass, Harley said. Because of limited capacity, the company said these drawings “are virtually the only way” to guarantee access to the parade and museum during the celebration.

Other events include the Harley Owners Group 25th anniversary celebration, planned for Miller Park.

Though most events require a ticket, The Main Street Exposition at Veterans Park, an outdoor festival with music, food and entertainment, will be free and open to everyone, Klein said.

More details will be available beginning Tuesday at www.harley-davidson.com/105th.

So, those ingredients in those batteries are all “green”? And that electricity all comes from “green” sources?

Yup... It's all from bamboo shavings and expired PopTarts.
