General The Future of Motorcycling is Electric, and I think it's gonna happen FAST.

No. Unless you count drones and kites.

I don't either. I had an interest in helicopters when I was young, but they are something liek 4x more expensive to get lessons on than planes. My dad liked planes. He grew up near an airfield and was in the Army Air Corps. He also had a Triumph Tiger before I was born. I think a 1954 or 1955. It was like an aquamarine with white stripes. Anyway...I'll skip flying anymore. I might exceed the weight limit anyway.

I always heard that if you wanted to fly, military service was the cheapest way to go about it.

Then I worked with a guy who flew helicopters in Vietnam, and survived 4 crashes. I won't ride in a car with him, let alone a flying vehicle.

At 59 I am beyond the military. I did do 2 years Army ROTC in college. I found out I am not one of them.

Luckily for me and America, I determined I was not fit for military service before joining

My problem is that I am like Archibald "Harry" Tuttle(look him up). I do things my own way and don't suffer well under bureaucracy. I will find a way around it if I can and if it's too much, I get out. Where I work now is very bureaucratic, but I can swing in between. I am not the blind following type.

Electric airplane with 575-mile range, 368mph top speed, and 80% lower costs to fly.

The obvious questions now answered in that article - recharge time, and price comparative to current turboprops.
