Ps...empulsebuyer's bike is just in front of this one :)


Pss...off, push and turn ccw to lock...ok...but what is P?

Alright! Ah wait, now your just playing with my emotions.  ;)

P is lock plus parking lights I believe... Some kinda European thing if I remember correctly. My gixxer has that feature.

Parking lights, just like both of my motorcycles have always had.  Isn't that the standard for US bikes?  One click past steering lock is "steering lock plus lights are on" for visibility in emergency parking situations...

Aside: I don't think the full clue image should be posted here.
  • It's more rewarding to see the image if you have to find it.
  • Not having the full image will motivate people to play the game and look for the images.
  • The image is pretty easy to find once sufficient clues are given.
  • It's fun to hear the anguish of the people who have not found the image yet. :P

I liked the idea of showing part of the image, as it allows us to talk about some part of the image, while keeping the rest hidden so that there is still some motivation to find the images.

Let's keep it fun and mysterious for everybody.  ;D

P is for "parking" lights, although if you park for a few hours with those on with an ICE vehicle, you would flatten the battery and need a jump start! I think that the 9 kWh battery can power those lights for quite a long time (but you may not be able to get home afterwards.)

This so reminds me of the movie Blade Runner when Deckard investigates a picture by using a machine to see further and further into the picture image for clues. It certainly does look like Brian.


I like the idea of this contest to entertain people between now and May 8th. I don't have much time to search for images, but I am glad to see them posted here. The eventual winner has to be member of our forum.

"Enhance!"

I was trying to find the video clip from some British comedy where a special crimes unit of the police is using the "enhance!" feature to do some amazing (and silly) things, such as, seeing what is behind the person by looking in reflections of reflections, etc....

lol @ ignition (Zero also has this printed on the "ignition" cylinder)

P is probably lights and fork lock, as other people have mentioned.

Those lame Hollywood movies deserve to get made fun of... you cant get something from nothing with images. Hollywood bugs me... Ever notice how all computers in these low budget, crap films make beeps and blips when actors are using them... the sound bits they add in are so f'ing lame. My god I just want to punch something right now.

Well I am an idiot...that P and light symbol is also on the Enertia Classic...it is the setting for Charging...

Perhaps for the 2012 bikes it will be for parking lock and lights as the new bikes are suppose to charge as soon as plugged in vs plugged in and key turn to P as it is now.

Oh, I agree...and haven't posted the others, nor the future ones...I did that one mostly just to taunt Empulsebuyer :)

Couldn't resist when I saw the "second" Empulse in the photo...good to see multiple are being made right now.

bummer.  I was hoping the "P" was to arm the Photon Torpedoes.    ;D

Woah.... looks expensive.

Also, the picture implies that the new Empulse could have been out in the roads of Oregon already. Dont people have camera phones...
