ok maybe sometimes but in the case of illegal immigration rolling out the red carpet for people to come to a nation illegally just empowers more people to come and it certainly spits in the face of locals and legal immigrants who do obey the rules and bureaucracy so here i would say no to driver's licenses for illegals in florida yeah there might be millions of them in the usa but that doesn't justify society bending over to make their lives comfortable if you want to drive in america be born american or become one the legal way but that's just my opinion. to go. to cuba. to get. strokes expects

a place on the podium. hoping to repeat last year's victory and in the face of stiffer competition the mummy students have come back with a completely new set of wheels they've dropped the electric bicycle design in favor of a fully fledged enduro style motor bike with only the same headlights as last year's winner. has more in common with his composed an engine cousins next door. money is journey to barcelona starts at the best part of a year ago it's one month to put a team together which is made up of specialists in different fields all sharing the same thirst for victory then followed four arduous months of meticulously planning and modeling each note and well. once the team had settled on the final text it was time to stop pencil pushing and gets their hands dirty in the workshop. software helps the students measure twice and cuts once having fully modeled in stress tests of their frame and forks virtually the team knew exactly what to build and how it's

a hundred on the day. with only a limited budget the guys had to. the crufty about which parts to buy in and which ones to make in house. they opted for steel tubes for the frame offering the optimal tradeoff between strength weight and cost. but like anything the finished product is only as good as its components parts. we started exploring new opportunities all agree that it's time we should start using composite materials to produce structural elements structural elements but also for example a lighter battery box made of composite materials and so on. should be made from high tech materials and carbon fiber offers the perfect way to shore up the structure without starting pressure. on an empty. seat the trick is to achieve the right balance between fibers and to make sure the
3:35 am
saddle sits just right it seems clear the use of compensates means that their electric motorcycle weighs just the same as last year's eve by. up to nine months of blood sweat and tears all that remain for the money team to do was to put the finishing touches on their entry this year the rules of the smart challenge stated teams have to use motorbike wheels and that he should be big enough for two people in addition to the standard motor control given to each team as well as making it even more difficult to keep weight down the team has been working twice as hard this year. with sleeve with only a couple of weeks to go before. the bikes was no small task. to find out if the entries perform as well in the truck as they do on paper. back in the tensions building as the first round of scrutiny approaches. through the night in
3:36 am
a race against time to get ready. all the teams have been briefed and they're now in. it's hard it's where paying their bikes for thought couple of days ahead this year guys like me have two entries the more casual meet through neutron and the five to proton both bikes have their strengths and even these guys don't know which will perform better in the competition the proton and neutron have the same brake system wheels motor battery and onboard controller but that's about where the similarities end weighing in it's forty three kilos and with a wheel base of one meter thirty three centimeters the proton is slightly heavier and longer than his teammate it's rigid frame and swing arm built for speed and require a skilled rider while the neutron slightly springy frame makes it more of an easy rider the protons titanium front forks are lighter and can be tuned much more finely than the neutrons it's hard to smooth let the riders seamlessly shift from one position to another whereas the neutron sacrifice is freedom of movement for

comfort. it's may seem like the calm before the storm but before these things a lot of this truck their bikes must be scrutinized for compliance with the competition rules and that's just the first hurdle they're also a modern acceleration enjoyments handling and even their business plan all of which will go towards their final score. after the ebonics with tested for water tightness it was time to progress on to the next stage which took place on the dynamic testing grounds in the center of the circuit de catalunya track gears it seems have to prove that their rides a safe in the three under five meter front and back brake tests in the mc two proton breeze did test but the neutral was hit by a spot of engine trouble having made it to the test area under its own steam at the crucial moments the electric motor refused to spark into life. you have been assaulted failures mean you could miss a whole day of the competition going on as a result you could miss out on
3:38 am
a few test and lose points but it's never straightforward you can never be sure what will happen. today some of the teams are going to try and turn around yes the . failures into a success in a last ditch attempt to get through to the next round. after last night's drama and hours of head scratching the team monies to locate and fix the faulty connection that bended them machine immobile with both bikes raring to go it's time for the acceleration test his speed is king as the teams takes in turns to open up the throttle on the fifty meters straight drag each entry has four attempts at the best time both with and without a passenger and just like last year proton let everyone else down to me while i'm on the road all of them come from all over europe and so on there and make the noise but need a broken at mom dad and brother to have its own offspring all of that will have. the overall is a cult classic its retro design and distinctive side cars have stood the test of
3:39 am
time looking just as good today as they did when they first hit the roads over seventy years ago the motor bike success just goes to show that old school will never go out of fashion and the bike is firmly cemented it's nice in the markets such as the motorbikes appeal that the company ships well over ninety percent of its bikes have brought but don't just take my word for it. brad pitts was not immune to the motorbikes charm and treated himself to an overall tourist three years ago during mcgregor and tumblr founder david karp can also be listed among the aliases with an overall in that carriage. back on home turf or should i say ta much the overall is the chart of choice of the night schools pack leader alexander the result also known as the surgeon the gang even works with the money a function of the back in the nine hundred ninety s. to create the overall wolf. was because we have trained up

a whole generation of brilliant amateur engineers who have worked on this machine they've introduced all sorts of. innovations to it from minor improvements to groundbreaking changes each of them would first try out their innovations themselves and then share them with their friends. pretty much all the roles on the road today were produced in a town of in the urals by the one nine hundred seventy s. the factory which was built around an old brewery had brought us more than seven hundred thousand of the three wheelers whose affordability made them a popular alternative to the car and strong demand for the overall outside of russia mentioned the fight to hit its peak production of one hundred thirty thousand bikes per year around this time as well with the trucks been shipped out to north and central africa europe and even as far as australia but to find out more about the origins of the overall we have to go even further back in time. the

history of the all because right in moscow more than seventy years ago on the same year that germany invaded filled the athenian shuttering the until gresham part between the two countries the soviet union was forced to bump up production of greatest planes in towns all motorbikes the scalp depends on for relaying messages before the start of the war the first prototype overall and seventy two had already been made although it was heavier than his. predecessor it was also faster more powerful and more reliable and if you look closely you also know to present any resemblance to the german b.m.w. awesome c one best part of the lend lease program during world war two the us supplied the soviet union with over twenty six thousand hollies and seven thousand five hundred indians but russia needed the zone of graded motorbike by nine hundred forty five the soviet union had produced almost ten thousand and seventy two which were used in the war effort before kicking down again into the civilian population
3:42 am
. durrell m seventy two was an exact copy of the b.m.w. our seventy one. the history of how this happened isn't clear one version of events suggests that germany gave russia a license to produce the oss seventy one as part of a resource and technology exchange treaty the alternative is it gets more cloak and dagger in this one five bemis was secretly acquired by go betweens it. and smuggled back into the country where they were reverse engineered by soviet specialists it's unlikely that evidence supporting either version still exists so you'll have to make up your own mind as to which one you prefer. today and having avoided any copyrights lawsuits the fighting in it bt still standing it's currently produces around twelve hundred units per year for diehard fans of the legendary bike around the world this year's lineup boasts six models including the m seventy chippie to the original that kickstarted the brand but no matter which one you choose they all

have one thing in common. a motorbike is unique you didn't think it is currently the only bike in the world to come complete with a side car. and not just any old side car this is the polar side car is no power driven which enables the motor bike to run on the open road as well as cross country even overwrote. driven side car thanks simply turn to soviet steed into a full two wheel drive vehicle and behind this retro facade the steel side car can be fitted with modern comforts including a little spare tire and plug sockets or even an ammo kind of stuff for the more adventurous types the company also ships in components from specialist supplies in countries such as germany japan austria and italy the factory produces six bikes a day and has plans to boost production to meet demand from their new markets in new zealand china and the philippines the company's director and chief engineer
3:44 am
both have and insists on testing out the latest innovations on their own bikes. different areas when developing over powered side cars are used a differential drive like the kind the using cars inexperienced drivers face difficulties when steering the motorbike due to differential drive specific design features and that's why we need the differential drive switchable you can turn it on if you approach an obstacle and then turn it off once you've passed and continue to explore this area in order to attract new customers by motorbike with a new inside car wheel is a rare thing. the roles versatility and carried to mean it seen action everywhere from the front line to the streets of hollywood the bikes be chased has been over seven years in the making and with a fact sheet in it it beats constantly updating and improving its range the history of the oral is far from over.

belong to the deal sang i and the rest that life is going be taking will be a briefly on a. government system just to help poor people poor women but they're going to change their life and nobody is trying to make money out of them those who want to make money out of them by misusing concept time the whole thing and too little show couldn't do their show and we had all forced to move. right from the scene. first street. and i were being pushed. on our reporters twitter. and instagram.
3:47 am
to be in the movement on mom. welcome but as you can see the superbike insurance race is now well underway so let's find out how the students are getting on with the bikes in the security council. to around twenty six thousand spectators who sets up come for the long haul ahead. on the truck money machine would being pushed to their limits in the opening hours that race. anything's possible in such a longer bans on the real drawl of the. insurance team in the early hours of the morning left the wave wide open for the french team halmos was to take the trophy
3:48 am
covering an impressive seven hundred twenty nine blocks. behind a pace life music a slower pace with teams in their crews enjoying some well deserved down time. i think i was in for the superbike insurance race but i'm afraid that i can't enjoy listening to the track its any longer locally there's a greener on silent alternative taking place right now. in the smallest moto insurance race the teams must complete twenty laps of the course covering ten point five kilometers. they should do ten laps solo and ten with the passenger and swap drivers half way through the goal here is consistency not speed so the time difference between the two drivers has to be as small as possible probably to stop teams from getting one of the professionals next door to three fold them. as you can see bikes the skaters are in demanded moscow because with any

petrol powered machine the environment is always a concern however that creates a mishna market for three new comers. harville voice was a bush and pits bite champion in two thousand and thirteen and has played an active part in promoting the sports in russia putting beach to the top of his game he's now looking for new ways to get his kicks pavel's found a new toy to play with but don't be fooled by. this mighty electric mini can hold its own it gets much larger petrol bikes as possible found out when he took it to the races. it's much easier to steer this motorbike because it's very light much lighter than bikes that run on petrol it's a big advantage we tried it out in the second stage of the russian pit by championship i pulled away from my opponents right from the start and then completed the first lap faster than anyone else i deliberately left the track after that because it was just a demonstration that i wanted to show people how powerful
3:50 am
a small motor bike can be accelerate six dreamy fast and i don't think a petrol engine will ever be able to do anything like that it also only has one gear well with petrol motorbikes you need to change gear in every split second it takes you to change gear is important in a race so this gives you maximum possible acceleration it's amazing really one of a kind of that. is made in moscow. kind its killer characteristics is all in the motor which despite swing just four point eight kilograms generates nine kilowatts of power which is then fed directly to the wheel the company also builds the frame parts controller and software to go with it . but the engines that are currently on the market surprised me because they were also heavy flooding but not that powerful as you will soon need some prototypes. to start with made up our mind to use air cooling down which requires much fewer parts
3:51 am
inside the engine but there's a fairly powerful air currents tells you that transfers heat from the components to the out of body. naturally by the wind. up which moreover the efficiency of our engine is about ninety percent. generates much less heat anyway. however the electric bike house generated a lot of buzz so much so that della has already designed three other models including two full sized motocross bikes and an urban version that's at the prototype stage. the first batch of one hundred days to this winter and has already been snapped up with a full sized urban model having a predicted range of two hundred kilometers on a single charge which costs between thirty five and seventy cents it's easy to see why. it's no good having all these top specs if the bike doesn't look the part so della
3:52 am
got in touch with moscow based in just to design company for a helping hand the design is true of countless concepts from bike before they eventually agreed on the final version. it doesn't weigh a gram more than it has to be simply removed all the known load bearing parts and. there's also our original design which allows us to have high engine capacity and with small size and most importantly lightweight. even in this day and age computer models sometimes on sanofi to evaluate a design. so our top uses industrial plus to seem to bring the drawings to life and gets the impression of the final product. after hours of speaking and pressing modes cross bike is beginning to take shape. has been riding bikes since
3:53 am
he was a child and uses extensive experience to make sure the bike is practical as well as pretty the first rendering was a bit too wide a bulky but after a few points has the right balance had been reached. the bikes on the block including the serial f.x. from california and also just k.t. and free ride. the top spec f.x. has a one hundred thirty three kilometer range weighs one hundred twenty kilos and costs twelve thousand dollars to take a c.m. only of the hundreds a much smaller budget capacity giving it's a runtime of between twenty to ninety minutes and costs thirteen thousand five hundred dollars when the dell is finished it's expected to be faster lights and less than half the price. the inevitable rise in oil prices is only going to spot on bounces in energy storage technology making it both more efficient and affordable and most about cheap bottleneck has been broken e-books are going to go faster and further than ever before. it's the

final day of the smarts moto competition right here in the hearts of boss alone and there's not much between the teams they still everything to go for in this final handling test. in this closing event of the smarts moto challenge it seems have to show off the maneuverability of the machines by weaving in and out of the cones just like in the insurance test consistency is key and it seems a. every code they hates. meanwhile the church took the opportunity to have a closer look at the innovative solutions used in the teens bikes during the design appraisal. the money team seemed to be doing pretty well in the dynamic tests and their proton was fastest when pits and directly against all that he bikes. for working they are working night by night and day by day maybe they forget. something
3:55 am
along the day they had a baby of. smarts mode so the challenge two thousand and fourteen is now over and. the final totals all the students can do is sit and wait. this year's winners with poland in ecuador with people's friendship university of russia picking up a special prize for bravery. didn't receive anything so we caught up with emilio on public to find out what's hot and. your lives in most cool i'll. design but well. he made me and see how do you like. dude i think it is good to know. the rules just say you have to create
3:56 am
a small motor and i think they don't specify whether it should be a scooter or a full size motorbike only say it has to be a smart one it would seem out of. the new. technology because i'm sure that the rosy. if. we're here at the moment but there are also technical tests of which we won every one and yet we still fail to qualify that's what is a. mystery to us. well it wasn't meant to be this year but life goes on the money students may not have won in boston loner but they whomp want to deal with their sponsored universal motors they could see their bikes ride into mass production series. like large cars and large motor bikes that's why we've used a motorcycle riding position and design is the basis for our a bike concept. these bikes will go into mass production thing in peru or through
3:57 am
for the growth of the bike farce will be produced according to our designs but we will receive them i mean affection facility is going in the symbol the bikes to me the specific asians or end customers or. so who knows perhaps the streets of moscow will be buzzing with the sound of the protons and neutrons electric motors some time soon. unlike this one show the story of the bike is far from over and it looks like it's on the bright electrical future so we'll see you next month until then enjoy the right. we chase profit very large very attractive and now very globally recognized source of oil for the world and into the future the world's cheapest and best petroleum
3:58 am
deposits have been mined out we have to use more energy to get this energy industries grow like a cancer each of these squares it's ten kilometers where. and good old area is slated to be planed of charging for water that's our wildlife service and that's are fisheries we chop stop this is the end game when it takes two tons of sand to make one barrel of oil you know here at the bottom line and that's where we're at. the chill ourselves. you surely know where you.
