And never will you stall again. (stalling is A) embarrassing, B) slightly dangerous as the car behind you might just keep going, and C) embarrassing... :) )
Gavin
and D) the immense loss of concentration just to keep your shitty ICE running could be spend much better elsewhere. Really, everywhere. I might drive clutchless while readings eg. Russels Introduction to mathematical philosophy and would still be a better driver than now :D
Well, I wouldnt have made my license if I didnt knew I had a high chance of getting a non-stalling vehicle in the near future - now I've just to decide which one.

Zero picked up a MSF certification for their 2012 XU. While learning to use a clutch is a very valuable skill for motorcyclists in general, there are a number of two-wheeled vehicles which do not need it. Many scooters use a CVT, and a small number of motorcycles have a dual-clutch automated transmission option.
Over here not one has realised that vehicles may have automatic transmission. While I can see that people used to manual shifting dont want to use those strange automatic shifters (you know, the ones with D for drive, O for overtaking etc) as they (at least seem to) work like those made in the 70ies which actually werent really that great, but I cannot understand why people dont use semiautomatic transmission (automated clutch, but you choose the gear yourself), which seem to merge the best of both worlds. Also, im quite sure that no human has the ability to surpass electrical system matching the speed of the disks. Then again, I havent seen that much humans till now :)

Dang, you're fast.  I was just coming here to post these. 

Note, also that Brammo has asked:
Quote
OK Brammo friends, what do you want to see from EICMA? Our team interacting with the crowd? Our amazing Brammo Girls? The view from our stand?

Let us know!

After a suggestion by another commenter, I seconded the vote for
Quote
I want to see Steve and the girls doing the Gangnam style.

The EICMA videos are starting to roll in. 

Watch the whole video for a taste of EICMA.  The spot at 3:40 is the only view of a Brammo product you're going to see, unfortunately.

From the Flickr feed of the editor of MotorcyclePowersportsNews.com:

DSC04442 by Babcox, on Flickr

He had also posted a photo of the Milan Police testing the Enertia Plus but it was a lousy photo.  Hopeful that Brammo has a better one.

Were there motorcycles in the above video?

I kid, it was actually kind of fun to try figure out what brand the bike was by what the girls were wearing.

ha...i didn't watch the video till after Proto...

I have to be old as i kept thinking, "dang, there are soooo many nice bikes there...I wish the person taking the video would focus more on that..." my second thought...."how can i get Brammo to take me to Milan next year?"


I saw half a dozen bikes I want to ride right now :)

of course being old doesn't mean I can't send the link to a motorcycle/scooter friend of mine (who is half my age) and type something inappropriate like "Watch this link from EICMA in Milan. So many I want to ride. And motorcycles."


But all talk...

This is Greg...if I'm right, he also was the one doing a wheelie with the Empulse.
