Ain't gonna argue, not today anyway. And not about sin, original or otherwise. Idealism, can it be practical, what balances it?

In my understanding of metaphysical arrangements, the integration of left and right brain are necessary to achieve certain results which include at times the ability to flow in time, allowing for the understanding of patterns and potentials, from which future trends and even events can be perceived. And as in all such things, a small manipulative energy may move a lever. So you can not only choose time and path wisely, you can influence it. There are other rules though, like consequence, not easily avoided for that involves the paths and desires of many other souls, conscious and unconscious.

“she is livin in sin with safety pins”

Who knows dude…if you only come out from under the bridge to light it on fire then that’s just another event that was meant to happen for whatever reason?

Some people live under bridges…
Others burn bridges….others build bridges?
Sometimes they do all the above and then just deal with it whatever it brings or does not bring about.

Dante has nothing on me….

You suggesting I am a troll, living under a bridge? Thats the second time this week and on two different forums, my halo must be slipping.

We respect people for their accomplishments…but we love them for their imperfections.
Everyone has different aspects to themselves, I refer to it as “who is driving the bus today.”
For instance waking up and wondering why was the bus crashed last night, then saying you will never let that happen again? That’s about not caring too much I think you got that covered.

Make one hundred motorcycles and then also ship one hundred individual sets of parts. Then some of the parts would be consumed as spare parts and the remainder could be assembled and those by customizing shops.

One standard model in the factory configuration sold online but only shipped to markets that have a licensed customization shop. That also offered parts and servicing as well as customized versions of the standard models. Every model should come with a certificate that validated it and its components. That leads to higher degrees of accuracy and parts availability. But also could be augmented with custom parts that would be interchangeable or better said universally compatible.

Galaxies SUV250 a good standard model.



The initial one hundred would also arrive with one hundred sets of parts. They would all be stored in a central warehouse that began the process of documenting each part. Each bin or container would have its factory code on it and then each part documented for individual sale or packed as a kit and in that other option could be brought in. Standard parts list that would be associated with other custom parts. That if done with a software application and with coded data could allow a build your own option and online. The build list sent to the shop with all the parts.

The result could be a custom version like this Heiwa.


Then it is a matter comparatively of the cost of the standard plus freight and prep and the cost of customized would be the same except the prep becomes a cost for a custom assembly to your specifications.

This would allow for or encourage full documentation and in that standards and compatible customization options would require detailed documentation. No sales people and automated customer service, then direct contact would be with a very talented local shop that actually builds and services motorcycles.

Most of what is being manufactured is interchangeable in Chinese motorcycles, common parts abound. Those are all supply chains and with documentation they could be better identified and in that distributed better and in that linked better to end users. That may be what they do with manufacturing “Groups” but it is not well demonstrated at the consumer level. They have lots of engines that match with certain frames and the configuration and related components are not that different. Basic consistent standard models abound and should set base prices, then enhanced or custom version can be added through such a system.

The markets are all segmented in the USA they are all defined with boundaries, territories defined as enclosed sets of adjacent boundaries, simple sets of zip codes. The goal would be to find those with the highest populations and them establish shops or find shops within them. Then develop relationship within them. When the motorcycle is ordered it is associated with a shop that is licensed in that geographical region as an authorized shop. These would be shops that are already assembling and building motorcycles and then linking them into CAD systems could really create some great potential. Designs could be submitted as bidirectional, that being all that are linked in the system could offer add-on’s or optional customizations. It’s all a matter of specifications and in the dimensions and mounting points.

It’s all rooted in full documentation and in that product data tables and in that CAD diagrams. It could all become interactive and dynamic and offer simple and basic affordable and well supported to completely customized and personal.

Honda places the CBR250 into the market, just as Kawasaki did with the Ninja 250, they are feeder bikes they are seeking new riders and then betting on them becoming brand fans.

The concept of entry level feeds up to higher cost higher profit future sales.

So I am looking at small manufactures and finding literally hundreds of them in the USA, these are people that make motorcycles one at a time by hand. The best know is OCC of reality TV fame but they are one of many.

These small manufacturers do fabricating and assembly and all the products are high end and expensive. However they have the skill and talent, the Chinese do what they do but on an enormous scale. It is all the same with exception to the attention to details.

The results could be local brand and within that linked global suppliers, a distributed network. The US market could be developed as a customer for component parts. In doing that simultaneously developing standard models with distribution and standard supply chains.

Documentation is imperative and addressing the details is industry in itself, that is about systems and support of those.

I see these advertisement the Chinese manufacturers have stating productions in the hundreds of thousand and with hundreds of models. That may impress some, but for most it simply boggles the imagination.

The labor has to be dispersed, the production refined and automated and disbursed across the entire chain of processes. That’s about less assemblers and more managing inventory and information systems. It is about feeding to a warehouse not just finished goods, but the systems that detail them and all the related components. What is unique and then also what is universal across models.

Maybe the feeders could be lowered cost customizable imports…Then those feeding into custom lines that are manufactured locally. But also offering baseline standard models that are the bases of some lower cost customs that can be developed from the factory standard models.

That could theoretically develop a dispersed research and development network as some of the fabricators could offer new and different designs that could be then manufactured at the parent factories. Universal compatibility allows that and distributed access to design and development and technical archives allows that. That could be a list of components some off the shelve from the primary factory and some then added to the available inventory from the end fabricators that design them.

An open system that allows other to review existing designs and configurations, then they could add or alter them and then add the options to the available inventory. Thats a dynamic market place, it allows others to come into it and develop on what exists, enhance it or refine it or even just change the appearance of it.

That would allow an entity to enter the system and develop for example EFI for a model and then they could offer it into the system as an available option. They could develop and test it independently and then offer it with full documentation and testing results. That would be an altered form of the factory standard, the factory could also consider buying that added option for production. That is bidirectional and dynamic and would accelerate development. The results of that EFI configuration would get a unique VIN that associated it with it unique configuration and parts list…then it would generate reliability metrics for that configuration.

I believe the best and most demanded configuration would become the or maintain the default or base model.

Then access to the system could be through the use of a registered WMI and then it could be managed and all related relative regulations within it for everyone to see as in open and transparent.

What if a person submitted a complete design, would it then be their rights to that design? Then what part of that design is uniquely theirs could be accounted for as it was manufactured by another and then sold. That could be an improved frame or electrical system or even an induction system that could be added to a list of potential configuration. Then when purchased they would receive compensation per each component sold and in an open systems they could see that. They would receive it automatically?

Such a system would open up access to talented people that are not currently in the system such as freelance designing and engineers.

I was reading about and engineer that felt strongly that assembly and support of a air pressured powered car he designed should be distributed in such a manner. The parts mass produced but the assembly and support done in a distributed locally based system. For both practical and economic reasons, the practical is that consumers as owners would have access directly to those most familiar with the products operation. Then it also integrates the industry into the local economy and its growth and relative size a function of the demand of the local market.
