I would NEVER drive something like that. The tires on my 99' yamaha V-max are incredibly bad if you even look at moisture with them. I recently had an accident (nothing bad) because the back tire wouldn't grab well enough (yes, I know that most of the stopping power on a motorcycle is in the front.)

dont have to worry about tires with a paramotor :)

I'm just not a bike guy, though I totally get the appeal. I've lost 2 friends and have another that will never walk properly from various bike accidents. None of those three incidents were in anyway the fault of the bike driver. It's sort of put me off bikes. You just don't get a second chance.

On Mulholland highway here the bikes just slow me down in my cars...so it's still possible to get your speed fix in a car.

unfortunately that's how it goes most of the time.

Yeah we have a company outside of town that rents them by the hour. You have to stay close to the landing strip, but they are a blast. I wish I could afford one, but I could barely afford my used V-max. I couldn't resist though. Mid-life crisis or something. :)

So are the thirty Pluid ihy's with the 30ml of pluid already gone? I see they are on the website still. :confused: I missed the contest tonight :(

If they can be bought, they will have the 30ml :), the site will say, doesn't include pluid when those are gone, I'm thinking of sticking to the original 30 though :)

Dooood! Yer like 130 miles from me! It's incredibly rare to find folks from montana. I lived in Bozey for a short while while I attended MSU.. wasn't a big fan of the town, but loved the mountains around it.

Yea I'm torn. I have a green iHybrid already...yet, this one will be different. Didn't feel good about buying the 9/11 one because it's really a U.S.A. thing. Wanted to leave those for the true Americans. Believe me though, we felt your loss just as much in Canada, but I know it's much more profound when you are born and raised here. Felt I had to pass on the 9/11's because of that even though I really wanted one.

I'll probably just wait for the next special edition.

you can find them used for around $3000, flattop is the best though IMO

might be awhile before another special edition, I'm gonna focus on the 14500 really quick :)

The pluid editions engravings will be done after anodizing so they will be silver in color (the engravings) its gonna be the sickest iHybrid to date!

Ezkill, this is personal opinion only, but 9/11 might have happened on US land, but being as the towers where the world trade center, there was people from all over the world there that day, so I don't feel it was just a US thing, it touched everyone.
