Good News Drove Up Fast But Silently.
“The news media are, for the most part, the bringers of bad news… and it’s not entirely the medias fault, bad news gets higher ratings and sells more papers than GOOD NEWS.”
Peter McWilliams
Everything I knew about electricity previously was that A.C. and D.C. was rockband with sexual concerned lyrics and everything I knew about motorcycles – those must growled like HD. Time goes. So much has changed… Now I know they are from Australia and I’m riding by Honda:-).
If serious I wanted to tell you I intended to start a new category on my blog just about good news befalling on the mother Earth. Just intended – I had no clue what the first message could be. Than I bumped against information about Mission One – electric motorcycle. Oh, of course we all know about diversiform electrical means of conveyance – they are zany and tardy:-). People, it’s not that case! Mission One can attain 150 mph and it has torsional moment what gas engines can’t reach. Into the bargain it looks like an artwork of sport bikes. Also I think it is a really big and real step to make world more green.
But the main purpose of this post isn’t a bike, it is about people. People who did it. They had a dream, they made aplan, they took an action to realized it.
“Forrest North first dreamed of building an electric motorcycle when leading the Stanford Solar Car Team in 1998. … Forest enlisted the help of friends Edward West and Mason Cabot. … Together the three founders began building the wision for a new type of motorcycle company. … In July 2007, they bought a 1994 Ducati 900 and go to work stripping out the engine and converting it to electric drive. Two month later, the three founders had converted the classic Ducati into the highest performing street legal electric motorcycle in the world.”
I’ve read about some “historical” guy Edwin C. Barnes who becomed a bussiness associate of Thomas Alva Edison (widely known as Edison who had invented and developed many useful devices:-)). This guy (Edwin) strated with a “picture” in his mind, offered whopping persistence and took steps necessary to rich his goal. Latvians has saying: “This was long before and it wasn’t a truth”. You bet! None can tell us how it was in fact. Mission Motors story isn’t even a story – it happens right now – real people with flesh and blood. I’m glad we are contemporaries.
We must not to be in a flap that we will never feel up to invent sails for space ship for instance, no. We must learn and implement in our prosy:-) life this simple formula: take a picture in your mind, keep it there, take steps and you will be there.
