It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I see. Well, that might be good for that particular application... but then the article implies they're only planning to release this in the US. I'm still stumped. Without pedals on it, I don't think many states would be prepared to treat it as anything other than a capital-M Motorcycle.

I think a wider cross-section of people here would prefer to at least have the option of the road-legal version with the higher top speed. (Maybe it can be hacked to accomplish this. Who knows.)
