[edit] edits by Michael(HOLLYWOOD) raines

per [1] it appears that Michael(HOLLYWOOD) raines thinks he's an amazing fella who created a great electric motorcycle. He was even kind enough to provide us with a few photos and link to his site. Unfortunently, It doesn't appear that his bike is technically a conversation, but rather a from scratch vehicle. Furthermore, IMHO (in my humble opinion) it doesn't look all that good. Here are a few examples of some nice looking conversion ([2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]) and from scratch ([8] [9] [10] burnout video) electric motorcycles, btw: site is open and a good source for photos, User_talk:D0li0#Images_from_AustinEV. Anyway, I'm not sure the photos of raines bike are the best choice for examples of electric motorcycle conversions, and I don't see any added value in the paragraph he wrote which has since been non-POVed, perhaps the link to his site can stay but I think the rest should be removed. --D0li0 09:33, 20 May 2007 (UTC) Eleconvert —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.148.155.26 (talk) 02:26, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Too much external linking, too much POV

There is far too many links to external sites (especially those selling products related to the article), and definitely too many opinionated statements in the article. Words like 'spectacular' don't have any place in Wikipedia articles. For reference, please see WP:NPOV --Kickstart70-T-C 06:45, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Potentially a good topic with a lot of potential junk"

This is a subject that may engender a lot of controversy. What's new? Moving away from oil is a good thing. How we do it is a meaningful point of discussion. I'm new to posting here and maybe I'm minsinterpreting this side discussion, but...
