Where can I pre-oder a ticket for a 20years time travel ?
The design of the Embrio rocks! It makes me think to the motorcycles in Maccross seasons 2 and 3.

Very Cool! Nice design... the only thing I see though is stuff bouncing off the wind screen RIGHT into your face. Looks like fun though.

Nah, Poi. If you're after anime motorcycles then you've gotta be after the bikes from AKIRA.

If people are interst in this kind of thing today then check out the monowheel:

Its more of an in-wheel design and I have seen some fool trying to set speed records on one after he'd smashed himself up previously - stability still seems an issue.

GrythusDraconis: I used to be in Anime, hence my souvenir of Maccross. I still enjoy some great Anime like the productions of the studio Ghibli. AFAIR there's no unicylce bikes in Akira.
