Damon, Why don't you do a little experiment - get a friend/somebody who has the 'same' motorcycle as yours, fill his tank with the equivalent amount of kw as your battery pack (don't for get to run his tank/carburetor dry to equalize the total amount of energy), and see who runs the longest, then the farthest, up a hill the quickest etc.
It would really be interesting to see the results. Bill Dube - what is the equivalent amount of gas that your competition runs for the track compared to the kw that the KillaCycle uses for a run?
