Update

Here is the information I got today from Ice Bear.

The owner did get to ride one of the modified Magnums and said the ride is better and the vibration has been cut down quite a bit. However, Because of being a single cylinder engine there is still going to be a vibration at an idle. That is just the nature of the beast.

1. The frame design is different. It's more complicated than before, 2-3 times more complicated. The purpose is to minimum vibration.


2. They added more cushion on the bike. But he didn't specify where. Assuming the seat.


3. They used the dual exhaust system. According to them, it helped greatly with the vibration. However, we're confirming on our end to see if EPA is going to be ok with this design change. This is a working one into two design, not a "Dummy" dual exhaust.


The next shipment of 300cc will be the Magnums. I don't have the ETA yet. Manufacturer needs more time to upgrade the Tornado and Compeller.

Still do not know if there will be a price increase either. Plus the EPA has to approve the exhaust design.

More as it becomes available.

I got this in an email This AM and thought I would share.

I for one feel extremely lucky to have lived these days, only wish my children knew what one day was like, IT WAS AMAZING!!
Been around before - but worth reading again. - ENJOY


From: Born 1930 - 1979

You definitely need to read the statement by Jay. Oh so true.

Those of You Born

1930 - 1979

At the end of this Email is a quote of the month by Jay Leno.. If you don't read anything else, PleaseRead what he Said.

Very well stated, Mr. Leno.

TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED THE 1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's!


First, we survived being born to mothers Who smoked and/or drank while they were Pregnant.


They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing,

Tuna from a can and didn't get tested for diabetes.


Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-base paints.


We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles,

Locks on doors or cabinets and when we rode Our bikes, we had baseball caps not helmets on our heads.


As infants & children,

We would ride in cars with no car seats, No booster seats, no seat belts, no air bags, bald tires and sometimes no brakes.


Riding in the back of a pick-up truck on a warm day

Was always a special treat.


We drank water From the garden hose and not from a bottle.

We shared one soft drink with four friends, From one bottle and no one actually died from this.

We ate cupcakes, white bread,real butter and bacon..

We drank Kool-Aid made with real white sugar.

And, we weren't overweight.

WHY?

Because we were Always outside playing...that's why!

We would leave home in the morning and play all day, As long as we were back when the Streetlights came on.

No one was able To reach us all day. And, we were O.K.

We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps And then ride them down the hill, only to find out We forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.

We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's and X-boxes. There were no video games, no 150 channels on cable, No video movies or DVD's, no surround-sound or CD's,

No cell phones, No personal computers, no Internet and no chat rooms. WE HAD FRIENDS

And we went outside and found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.

We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, And the worms did not live in us Forever.

We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, Made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, Although we were told it would happen, We did not put out very many eyes.

We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and Knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just Walked in and talked to them.

Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team.

Those who didn't had to learn to deal With disappointment.

Imagine that!!

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law Was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!

These generations have produced some of the best Risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever.

The past 50 years Have been an explosion of innovation and
new ideas.

We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all.

If YOU are one of them?

CONGRATULATIONS!

You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated so much of our lives for our own good .

While you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave and lucky their parents were.

Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it ?

The quote of the month is by Jay Leno:

"With hurricanes, tornados, fires
out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of swine flu and terrorist attacks.

Are we sure this is a good time

to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?'
