The Derringer Bespoke Gasoline Bike Collection
A modern interpretation of the board tracking racing motorcycles of the
1920s, Derringer cycles capture the simple, pared-down, aggressiveness of
early motorsport while delivering an intricate level of personalized

For the discerning rider, Derringer offers the opportunity to own a truly
unique, one-of-a-kind motorbike that combines innovative engineering with a
classic high-performance aesthetic.
Powered by a moto-hybrid drive train,
Derringer cycles are built for our modern age. With superb fuel efficiency
they have a range of 180 miles per gallon. The ultra-clean four-cycle power
plant also meets stringent CARB tier 3 emissions standards.
These bikes travel at 35 mph and their fuel consumption is180 miles
per gallon!

I love reading the New York Times, love the articles and the pulse of America,
check out
this video news cast of the Rat Rods counter car culture show in California.
Choose the high speed link if you can. The related article titled, "No
Tangerine Flake, Baby:" is extremely informative. This show featured some
of the most unique and innovative car ideas in years and you won't see a lot
of shinny paint and chrome.
I think if Ford, Chrysler and GM want to turn their business's around then
they need to roll out a 10 yr 160km bumper to bumper warranty excluding tires
and brakes and fluids. The problem with these companies is perception and I
will give you a poignant example of my 79 mother who says they (big3cars) are
unreliable and one should go out and buy a Toyota Corrolla. If my 79 year old
mother who doesn't care the least bit about automobiles is telling me this,
what message is a 20 year old hearing except cheap financing.. Now look at the
Pontiac Solstice and the Saturn Skyline. Beautiful cars and a trunk that everyone
complains about and they had a development team devoted to this car. Do they
not read what the critics had to say about the Miatia? So what does this have
to do with wood boats...design function style reliability and fun!
