1. I had forgotten: The TGV holds the world speed record for conventional trains. On 3 April 2007 a modified TGV POS train reached *574.8 km/h* (357.2 mph) under test conditions on the LGV Est between Paris and Strasbourg. Michael E. Ross (919) 550-2430 Land (919) 576-0824

OK, now I am going to demonstate my ignorance. THAT is a motorcycle? I had no idea motorcycles existed in that shape. And by the way, it's GORGEOUS. Also, 270mph. My head just cannot wrap itself round going that fast on the ground. You are supposed to be FLYING when you go that fast. The
