Yeah, the first string 911 force(USMC), got the tool for the job. Unfortunately the second string (Army, Navy and Air Fairies) have to find wannabe bikes.
Let the flame wars commence.
BTW, I did 30 years with America's original 911 force.

Interesting quote from the Christini links below:
"... he can infiltrate inside and outside enemy lines using his
motorcycle and not be very visible audibly to the enemy."
Aside from the synesthesia of being "visible audibly", what I found
interesting is that even on the BATTLEFIELD loud pipes lose rights...in this
case the "right" to accomplish your stealthy mission undetected.
I like getting into and out of the National Forests without being detected
by the "enemy"; those folks that want to ban motorized recreation in the
NFs and use noise emissions as the pretext.

Street legal version here:

http://soldiersystems.net/2012/10/23/ausa-christini-motorcycles/
It's a Chinese made Honda CRF-450 "replica" under there. I assume that Honda
allows this because Asiawing makes some of the Honda bikes and engines and
is (or was) licensed to do it.

Too bad that the US military has to go to China to get equipment.

vendor friday: fundraiser for young athlete: lightweight alcohol cam
As some of you may know, my 15 year old daughter Evy, is an elite
Junior Whitewater Slalom Kayaker.
She is currently a member of the 2012 US Junior Team. At this year's
Junior World Championshios, she had the highest finish among all
American paddlers. She also earned the bronze medal at this years
national championships race, and open event for juniors (age 15-18)
and seniors age 19 and up).
As a fund raiser to cover her travel expenses for the upcoming 2013
season, we crafted lightweight camp stove kits, with stoves
manufactured from 20oz aluminum water bottles. While this technology
is now new, we have done MUCH R&D to create a lightwaeught, durable
stove with known performance characteristics in a variety of
operating conditions.
The kit includes:
Stove (available if 4 colors- red, blue, green and pewter)
Durable 4oz fuel bottle with child-proof cap
23" circumference aluminum wind screen with scalloped oxygen vents
Cold-weather performance boosters: kevlar priming wick, reflective
foil square and insulated stove base)
3mm neoprene drawsting carry pouch with belt-loop & hook, and enough
room for additional accessories (matches, drinking cup, etc)
Owners manual
The price is $25 per kit, which includes shipping in the US lower 48
and funds can go via PayPal

If you'd like to pay by cheque, send us an email

http://s227.beta.photobucket.com/user/RandomTask_EHE/media/4Stoves.jpg.html>
Note, because they are made by hand, you may experience *slight*
cosmetic variations from kit to kit. However, all kits function 100%
and will provide years of productive use.
Thanks!
