    Well, it's actually:

    Hey baby, I hear the blues a-callin',
    Tossed salad and scrambled eggs

    Oh My
    Mercy (alt: Quite stylish.)

    And maybe I seem a bit confused,
    Yeah maybe, but I got you pegged!
    Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha!

    But I don't know what to do with those tossed salads and scrambled eggs.
    They're callin' again.

    (The following are alternate endings)

    They're callin' again.
    Good night, Seattle, we love you.
    What is a boy to do. Good night.
    Frasier has left the building.
    Thank You!
    Scambled eggs all over my face. What is a boy to do. Goodnight, everybody.
    See you next year, we love ya.

    Really? How much bigger? I thought it made your balls heavier? :P Seriously though, said specifications on some of the above listed bikes would cause me to break the law when Pilar and I are both on them. In fact, its the reason I cant get a 125 because they are meant for a normal sized adult or two midgets.

    However, again, as I said its a savings thing. When they are in range of saving me where I do not have to wait 5 years to see the savings it becomes worth it. Until then I will stick with 70-90mpg at 1/3 of the initial investment. Some of those listed, in particular the ones that would meet my needs exceed 15,000$. I can get two nice bikes that get 74+MPG for 11k.

    That post would probably get you banned on the Zed.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Lots of electric bycicles here with electric motors of 250 - 350 watt here, range on flat land 60 - 80 KM average speed 25 KM and getting better all the time.
    Not seen a lot of mopeds or scooters electric though, the kids here use mini cars with 500 or 600 cc 3 cylinder diesel engines max speed 50 km/h but removing a few washers they will go to 100 km/h.....
    30 km to the litre diesel though...;) no road tax just insurance.

    I was thinking electric bicycle, too. The prices for a quality electric bike and electric moped/motorcycle are about on par.

    I own an old gas moped a Peugeot (1970's). Last I checked it still runs but it is buried under debris in my dad's garage to the point where I can't even see the bike much less get near it. The gasoline in it has probably turned to varnish and the tank will have to be dumped and flushed before it will ever run again. In any event it was always a great bike on relatively flat streets and mild inclines but on steep hills it was a lousy climber. On more than one occasion while climbing a steep hill I had to pedal it to help take some of the load off the motor. I think the more modern mopeds are more powerful and hopefully better hill climbers. I am also wondering how are the electric mopeds with hills. Just something to consider if you live in an area with rough terrain.
    I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
