Thanks for the compliment. Yes, Alexandra is a very attractive women and she is really sweet and very smart and has been driving electric vehicles for over a decade.

I made the video about Fabio. A few things might make it clearer for some of you.

Fabio is a very well known (except to some here) model and actor. Most famous for his commercials, "I can't believe it's not butter." Also appeared on 400 romance novel covers, (probably not a lot of readers of those here). Numerous movies, reality shows, print adds for the Gap, etc. Been around for about 25 years. Also, a very nice, humble non-egotistical guy that is built like a rock.

He has an extensive motorcycle collection with 211 motorcycles. Knows a lot about high end cars, owner of a Maserati, 950 HP Porsche, etc. No experience with electric vehicles prior to his appearance in our public service commercial for the non-profit electric vehicle advocacy group, Plug In America.

The video is pretty explanatory about the actual events that took place that resulted in him becoming a fan of EVs and an owner of the Zero.

This is not a marketing tool for any company. I'm a member of Plug In America and an EV proponent. It was my idea to make the video and it was all paid for by me with no compensation by any body or any company and not done in conjunction with any company. I wrote, produced, directed and edited the piece without input from anybody, other than cooperation from Fabio and Alexandra Paul, who is a very lovely women and human being in all aspects.

This is just one of several videos I've made on my own about the electric vehicle experience.

Hope this clarifies a few things.

Thanks.

General Discussion / Re: An Unfortunate Letter to the Editor

Are you certain it wasn't signed, "Mr.  Dinosaur"?

Actually, it reminds me of letters I read in the paper back in 1909 when the Model T Ford was introduced. It was a call to arms to stop those "newfangled" horseless carriages. Horse owners all over the place were having a fit. There were only 106 million people in 1910 and the country did not have paved roads or gas stations on every corner and in the following 18 years Ford alone sold 15 million cars.

Maybe not in our lifetime, but someday in the not-to-distant future, there will be no such thing as an internal combustion engine in use for transportation, just like there are no horses and buggies being used for transportation today. He can protest all he wants, but he might as well go to the shores of the Pacific Ocean and protest against the waves from crashing on the beach.

It is very interesting but exactly 100 years ago a new form of transportation was introduced and it changed the world and now 100 years later, another new form of transportation is hitting the market and it too will change the world.

Brammo Forum / Re: Bike Photgraphed by Brammo blurred out?

Hi Kelly, saw that.

I know Brammo was working on a scooter but the whole full leathers in a canyon just doesn't seem like scooter territory.

Yes, a scooter would be shot in an urban setting, not on a winding mountain road. Not unless it was a new "Super Scooter" designed to lull the senses of other bikers, then make a bet that your "scooter" could beat them on a mountain road and rake in the cash. Uh...Probably not.

But one of the operators of another electric bike store in L.A. (Harlan Flagg) made a comment on another forum that talks about the photo and stated that we should "Keep an eye out MotoGP weekend at Laguna Seca" (July 23-25) so I suspect this "might" mean that maybe a new bike will be there and maybe the bike will be sold at places other than Best Buy.

Brammo Forum / Bike Photgraphed by Brammo blurred out?

Saw this post by Craig Bramscher commenting on the photographing of a bike this week from a copter but in the picture he posted the bike is blurred out. Just the bike, not the rider or anything else.

Hmm. Why blur a photo of a bike that has been photographed a lot? Unless it is a different bike. I think something is afoot and we are getting tiny hints.
