There's a number beside my followers. It's over 200 now. I'm sure that's an over-estimation of who actually reads and follows Newstuff, but I know a few of you who would appreciate a post of this nature.
Over 200 miles an hour-

This is the ultimate in green tech for the speed demons.
If you care about the earth, but also want to pass it by in a blur, this is the motorcycle for you.
Unfortunately it may cost more than 200 arms and legs, as of the posting they have yet to put a pricetag on their website.
I am not a very good rider of cycles, but when it comes to green technology and super fast bikes, I have to take a ride!
Have a great week!
Sounds dangerous, I like it.
ReplyDeleteVery hazardous good times to be had, hehe.
DeleteThat's my kinda bike! Congrats on the 200+ by the way, always a nice feeling.
ReplyDeleteYup. I'll ride it until my next milestone, 244. Gotta blog about when a gross can make one feel good.
Deletecongrats to you! my blogerversary is soon and i might make the 300 mark for it!!
ReplyDeleteI'm crossing my fingers and will send a few folks your way to help.
DeleteCongrats!!!!
ReplyDeleteOH GOD, the hippies are starting to get some muscle in their tech.
ReplyDeleteAlso, congratulations on the 200 followers!!! Internet e-brofist~!
Hahahaha, Hippies and muscle in the same sentence! Thanks. e-brofist back~!
Deletecongrats
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteCongrats on hitting the 200. There are several amazing electric engines that can outshine combustion engines, but they are just too much to produce :(
ReplyDeleteThanks for the grats. I hope that components for these things get so cheap that every one could afford to build one themselves.
DeleteThe only problem with the "green" technology is the sticker price. It has to be affordable to a mass market or it won't survive. I hope these companies can one day out compete their rivals. Congratulations on the milestone!!
ReplyDeleteVery true. I share in that hope of competition driving down the prices. Thanks for the congratulations.
DeleteCongrats! I honestly think these electric cars/motorcycles are way overrated though. I mean, you plug it in instead of filling it with gas, but the electricity that goes into it comes from coal being burnt. Same effect as using gas...
ReplyDeleteThanks. I do believe that a few companies are looking past this as a "fad" and taking it so seriously that they will stake their entire futures on it.
DeleteSome sources also use hydro-electric, nuclear, or wind turbine energy for their areas. Coal will still be used where those do not do as well, or where legislators and lobbyists intend on putting them.
Its fast AND green. Awesome. Also gongrats on your 200th mark. Well, lets just wait till it hits 9000!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Hahaha, nice in getting the DBZ reference. I always mess them up.
DeleteCongratulations on amassing 200 followers!
ReplyDeleteIf the price was low enough, an electric motorcycle might interest me.
Thank you, T. If there were more demand for this, the supply might rise, therefore lowering the price. Let's all clamor for one and see them at a dollar a piece! Hehe, wish it worked that way.
DeleteCongrats I'm #209 now!
ReplyDelete2010 now!
DeleteCongrats from me too!
Haha, I actually don`t have 1801 accounts on blogger, so it`s
Delete210*** now.
Thank you both. You will be partners in getting me to my next milestone.
DeleteCongratulations brother! I may never hit the 2k mark, but readers over followers any day of the week.
ReplyDeleteI'm hearing you on that one. Much appreciation for you and all my other readers/commenters.
DeleteI guess I'll have to try and grow some extra arms and legs. Congrats as well.
ReplyDeleteThat'd be so many limbs that they'd have to start calling you the human tree. Then you'd have to get them all extracted to pay for and ride the bike. It'd still be worth it, lol. I'd do it. Thanks.
DeleteCool
ReplyDeleteVery. Thanks for stopping in.
DeleteThanks. I don't even want to look at the tag, unless I have won a contest that gives it to me as a prize. Even then, I don't want to look at the amount of taxes I'd have to pay, haha.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! And I'm not into motorcycles, I prefer my bike(so Dutch haha), because I haven't my drivers license yet.. Maybe I'll be more interested about some years.
ReplyDeleteTastes do change, so it is a viable option that is open for your future. And Thanks.
DeleteCongrats on 200 followers!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Baur.
DeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteAppreciation to you, as well, Secondlifer.
DeleteThank you! It has indeed ;)
ReplyDeletexx
Very glad to hear it! :)
DeleteOO
Cool anyway
ReplyDeleteUnlessI can grow some extra arms and legs, I'm out of luck. Congrats too, didn't know you had two, followed this one as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for noticing and following both, Pat!
DeleteI'm here for you man! I'm one of the 200 and yes I read your blog!
ReplyDeletecongrats on the 200
ReplyDeleteNice! Congratz to the 200 man!
ReplyDelete200 and counting...
ReplyDeleteI want one of those sooo bad and congratz!
ReplyDeleteWow LIFEP04 is an interesting new battery technology was reading about that the other day
ReplyDeletei think i want one. or two.
ReplyDeletecongrats!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your follower milestone! It's been a while since my last one. :P
ReplyDeletecongrats!! this is great! i feel happy when people follow my blog too!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! And if we could turn this technology into a muscle car that still SOUNDS like a muscle car, I'm sold. I'm not a big fan of bikes, and while it'd be cool to zip from 0-60 in 3 seconds in just about anything, a part of the joy is lost if it's almost completely silent doing it. VROOM, VROOM, I say.
ReplyDeletecongrats on the Big Number. i once had over 500 followers at my old blog, then one day Blogger swooped in and the blog was mysteriously deleted...and then i mysteriously disappeared for awhile...i don't want to talk about it...i'm gonna go scream inside now...
ReplyDeletepeace :)
Congrats on the 200 followers! Hopefully, I'll get that many too.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 200! Woohoo!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your entry. I know, Betty's packs a punch, in more ways than one. I love your contribution too. On with the anti-V day venom, I say.
xoRobyn

Wow, congrats. Higher than mine.
ReplyDeleteCongrats for 200, the comments do support that people read your blog. As far as green tech is concerned, I wish they price it well for more people to afford.
ReplyDeleteI've been looking into getting a bike for a while now. Gonna have to keep this one in mind :) Thank you.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 200, I'll make it at least 201. Interesting site with some thought provoking stuff to say.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the 200. Make that 218 now!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted a bike but I'm too chicken shit to ride something that only has 2 wheels! I drink too much for that!
Awesome congrats!
ReplyDeletecongrats. im following one of the two so thers another +1
ReplyDeleteCongrats for the followers!
ReplyDeleteMany more will come!

ReplyDeleteCOMING ON 300!
ReplyDeletedaaayyyum
ReplyDeletecongrats for 200
ReplyDeletelets hope it will be double century again
This is great!
ReplyDeleteCongrats :) bike sounds cool but I'm terrified of bikes in general. Have had a few untoward incidents on them.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!
ReplyDeleteGrats! Wish I had that many!
ReplyDeleteGlad to be your 225th.. Also RIP Whitney Houston :/
ReplyDeleteI hope it looks as good as it sounds
ReplyDeleteCongrats! To be honest, I think the electric motorcycles don't look good enough to cost as much as they do!
ReplyDeleteThey should either make them cheaper or really sexy.
