That's Gonna Leave a Mark

[SB 405]

Alright,we have this convention going on in LA this week called the Wired Next Fest. This guy is talking to a reporter about an electric motorcycle that goes from 0-60 in the blink of an eye. He then hops on the thing to demonstrate a burn out and,well...just watch.

Laying there on the pavement he's staring at the sun with unblinking eyes wondering why he can't feel anything from the waist down when it dawns on him: "Why couldn't I demo the battery powered popcorn popper?!"
