lol! Machinima FTW!
On a more serious note: this could be something wikileaks could come up with next....
Actually I had a talk with my girlfriend this morning at breakfast about exactly that: Is it rather a good or a bad thing such things (like "mistakes in war") being exposed trough wikileaks... I'm still not sure about it.
IMO it depends a lot on wheter or not the information being exposed could have a negative aspect on the country or their (innocent) citizens, for example by increasing the chance of a terrorism act...
Was this understandable?
NOTE: Edited it to be better understandable.

I have mixed feelings about this. There have to be
some secrets, and if it helps those who govern to do their job better, then they should remain that way. But if the powers that be elected and paid by their citizens are covering their own incompetence, that's a different story.

True. But also if that is the case, I think it is critical/important to decide whether it is worth publishing the information, if that involves danger to innocent people, e. g. by putting a country/armee in a (even more) bad light, in the eyes of others/terrorists.

... or just be honest. You threaten our way of life/we want your countries natural resources - then we are going to hunt you down and kill you, with extreme prejudice, without trying to masquerade it as "promoting democracy" or any other farcical excuse.
The world would be a happier place

Actually, I'm very interested in how the american citizens think about that..
Anyone?

America according to The Universe:

I'm not really pro wiki-leaks. It has a lot of potential for getting a lot of armed serviceman and civilians hurt, as well as provoking sensitive nations such as North Korea. Some things, should perhaps not be secrets. A lot of things are secrets for a reason. It costs less blood that way.

This is an Audi motorcycle.
Notice it has been modified to 3 wheels.
Link, please.

Dang !
Too bad. I was hoping to see some inside pics, as well as basic construction pics and info.

Actually, I know the details.
Doolen built the motorcycles to avoid insurance.
He drove them to St. Louis and back to Florida many times with no problems.
He removed the rear axle and he replace the 2 rear wheels midpoint between them.
The Ackerman steering remained the same as before.
I have a design for an instant 3 wheel hybrid.
An electric motor driven rear wheel is placed further back and the trunk space is used for batteries.
You idle the FWD engine for ac and power steering.
You use the electric for low speed in town driving and to accelerate to 25 MPH.
Remove the batteries for long trips to save weight and to gain trunk space.

Idling is the lowest efficiency on a gas engine. Shut it down or run it for mid power to top off batteries. Use power steering from a Prius. It's electric, not hydraulic. Use the AC from a 2nd gen Prius. It is electric too.
Start and stop the gas engine with the generator.

Great suggestions.
The overriding issue here is that after the switch to a motorcycle registration, you to can do these mods without gubmint interference.
