| Yamaha has filed patents for a new series of motorcycle-size turbodiesel engines in both inline-four and twin-cylinder configurations. Previously, established brands have not even so much as expressed an interest in diesel engines.

| The wife says I am NOT allowed to get a 'scooter' just to use to get back and forth to work... I've never been interested in the 'big & real" motorcycles, but...what's WRONG with getting a decent looking scooter? They range in prices from $2,000 to $6,000 with 80 to 244cc engines and some interesting safety features like ABS brakes. So, what's the FReeper take on gettin' on a scooter?

The clear plastic trap, which was 3 to 4 feet above the two-lane road south of Waukesha, sent both Buckel and his passenger, girlfriend Theresa Brzykcy, into a bloody slide across the asphalt. "It's appalling, and... |
