| General BS forum I guess this will be for anything that would seem to be off topic in any other forum here. Just general shootin' the breeze kind of topics. |

Flying Motorcycle
A former test pilot created a flying motorcycle that goes 70mph in the air and drives about 60mph. It's patented and actually goes on sale in a couple of months for about $25,000. Pretty cool.

Yeah, and you'd better hope you're flying over a pillow factory.

Knowing how particular we are about people touching our cars,,,,,, Do we really want the idiots of society flying over and crashing into the TOP of our Vetts too?
Holy Shiz-nit, this thing hopefully will be a flop in the market or the FAA requires lessons etc to run it.

Hell, many people can't handle travelling in a two dimensional environment, much less in three.
One good thing, though. Those things won't need black boxes. The cell phones will suffice. They will probably be able to reconstruct the cause of the accident simply by recovering the conversation taking place on the phone at the time. "Son of a bitch! Hold on, Honey, this guy THINKS he can just go over top of me......."
