Seriously, couldn’t they just extend the tube a bit so it overhangs the exhaust pipe???

    Shouldn’t the process be like:

    • Build five
    • Drive them around as your own bikes for a while
    • Keep replacing the ones you’re using with the latest iteration

    I mean, a lawyer’s gonna disallow that I’m pretty sure but that’s how we’d be designing new bikes at DaVinci Crater if I were over there. I’ll stay on the low sec roads, I know it needs major design certification before anyone can take it on the nice roads

      Should be, but prototyping and making one offs is expensive, maybe even 100x the cost of mass production per unit, so they will of course be looking to do the minimal amount possible
