I was thinking something more along the lines of some positive manifold pressure enhancement...http://www.google.com/images?q=tbn:Orhd9xYDQWcxKM::s tatic.howstuffworks.com/gif/supercharger-6a.jpg (http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/supercharger-6a.jpg&imgrefurl=http://auto.howstuffworks.com/supercharger.htm/printable&h=302&w=400&sz=31&tbnid=Orhd9xYDQWcxKM::&tbnh=94&tbnw=124&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dsupercharger%2Bph otos&hl=en&usg=__J9k8AcWsahux1w2xLyWzy7_f 420=&ei=_7sRSoOuO8Gg-Ab1ntXWAw&sa=X&oi=image_result&resnum=2&ct=image):D

I've ridden in the first one all over SE Asia, (never again) the second one is similar to one made in the Cleveland area.

When I was stationed in Japan in '60, three wheelers were the mode of transportation for goods. Bicycles for people and small Datsun's for Taxi's. Trains moved people from station to station (not many miles between stops).

In America we are blessed with plenty of room, we are generally of larger stature so things (buildings, cars, furniture etc) are much larger.

As people move more and more into urban living, I think sizes of vehicles, furniture, living quarters must change. New apartments I've notices are smaller, but the furniture store wares are still super sized. Can't fit in the door. This discontinuity will be resolved in the coming decades and America will be a two tier culture for transportation. Rural will have big trucks/cars while urbanites will drive small vehicles. You heard it here first.

Oh great, now we can be just like Bombay; maybe next we can ban toilet paper and just have a small water bucket next to the toilet for our left hand....
