*commercial break*
*Public service announcement comes up*
Some lab jacketed dude comes up to a podium and points to a video screen
showing the afore mentioned "Warp Factor Weapon". A Crash test dummy walks
up and looks at the thing, looks off screen and shakes it's head, a hand
carrying a .44 magnum pistol comes from offscreen, prods the dummy in the
gut. The dummy gets on shrugs and gets on.
"Assuming the bike itself was possible, gunning the machine up to 120mph(?
how would this be measured btw?) merely to move off a regular driveway
would result in the bike spinning it's tire, leaving a huge cloud of smoke
and probably ruining the tire from the heat of friction and rubber loss."
Video demonstrating this. With dummy giving offscreen observer the finger
before bailing out as the rear tire blows. fade out.
Fade in to a slide of the bike, with Jim aboard the beast with a
demonically happy look on his face and the girls hanging on for dear life
"The 5g corner just would not happen due to the massively spinning tire,
the short distance down the driveway, no time to build up speed, and
probably the mass of combined bike and riders."
The video screen goes blank and the lab coated guy whacks it with his fist.
It flashes and comes back on with the message:
This message brought to you by the Alliance to put more Science in Fiction.
"Ruining the suspension of reality for over 15 years."
The commercial break ends, with happy guy announcer's voice chiming in,
"now back to "53 More Things to do in Zero Gravity", starring Desiree!"
