Why do they make all these awful looking bikes on the assumption that people will want to trade in their CBR-600RR for one? They should just work for the moped scooter market which is better suited for these shorter range first gen bikes, and I would imagine their desing would leave more room for batteries under the seat
What I don't understand is if the LHC *doesn't* find the HB, how does that prove it doesn't exist? It just proves their experiments didn't find it. Finding it is the only sure result, not finding leaves us in exactly the same position.
Not to mention of course that if they do find it, they will then need to work out what *it* is made of!

The material becomes waterproof, not what the material covers
It seems that only a few posters have worked it out. The fabric itself becomes waterproof and will not absorb moisture, but that doesn't mean that water can't go through the fabric.
Think of it like a plastic bag. you can wrap it around your hand and put it in water to keep your hand dry. Take it out and the plastic bag itself can simply be shaken dry. Now put hole in the plastic bag (like the hundreds of holes in woven fabric) and repeat. Your hand will now get wet, but the plastic bag can still be shaken dry.
So, for example, motorcycle gear treated with this won't help to keep you any drier as such, but it will prevent the gear itself from getting wet and heavy and taking ages to dry out. Leather jackets treated with this would be brilliant as they weigh heaps once they start to get water logged.
Has anyone considered the up-side to this? Now you can confidently go into that next interview with your resume packed full of made-up stuff, and it will be easily validated when the employer does a google to check. All you need do is simply create lots of MySpace etc. etc. web pages by people who don't exist, fill them with rubbish about how brilliant you are and all the great things you've done, and you have instant validation. So while someone with a grudge can make you look bad, you can also make yourself look very good. Google is not a source of "trusted" information!
If an employer is serious about checking references etc, they should just try picking up the phone and calling the companies you claim to have worked for!

Why "sport/touring" bikes?

But absence of proof is not proof...

Why does google suggest I download Chrome...

Where's the game?
Thye are probably basing it on the 3d engine from Duke Nukem Forever, so it should be out any minute now...
(I picked Bill, coz even he knows when it's time to quit something)

What about the "upside"?
