Group records 8.21 second quarter mile at 155 mph on electric motorcycle.

My thoughts: Super quiet for going that fast. Sounds like a power drill flying down the quartermile.

and thats why we will never see it come to the masses. The automotive industry will be ruined. No spark plugs, spark plug wires, exhaust, intake manifold, headers, turbos, superchargers, antifreeze, gas...the list goes on. There are people who want to make lots of money in the automotive industry, so a fully electric car, only in our dreams.

I hope I am wrong because electric cars have great potential.
