A quiet motorcycle
The first hydrogen fuel cell vehicle has been introduced in Britain, hydrogen powered motorcyle costing about 8,000 pounds ($12,000 or so). The main complaint about the bike: it doesn't make any noise. They're thinking about adding an artificial engine noise....for safety purposes. posted by liz at 2:00 PM
