If you remember the Viega bike that was build for the guys here in Wichita. A friend of mine that was close to some of the people that brought them here, the company spent more money on getting them to Wichita, then they did on the bike. So you add the cost of the bike, lets say $50,000.00 to $75,000.00 plus the appearance fees of $50,000.00 to $100,000.00 now your bike just cost $175,000.00

So what is good advertising worth???

I loved the bike and the diesel motor concept, and I went to the site while I was watching the show, and seen how much it cost and compared that to DC. Plus I can get DC at just about any place and don't have to wait for it to show up...

Will be interested to know how it does???

Doc.

I was thinking the same thing! It'd better be good for 500 gallons for that price!

Well I was talking to friend of mine about this. He said that there show fee, which is your product featured on the show and they build you a bike and deliver it to your business cost a minimum of $250,000.00 So that takes allot of Monster product to pay for that one hour show. But what I would like to know is, how many people like us went to the website and requested a sample or brochure??? That in the end would be the deciding factor...

After calculating my mileage, i gain a little over 1.0mpg. Most likely its about the same as dieselkleen.

I know somebody who installed a 58mm 1000 cfm throttle body on his Vette. Swore it made more power too. Track time disagrees but why bother with that? SOTP dyno is accurate enough. NOT.

You are going to need several tanks just to get an average of with and without. SOTP dyno and one tank results are worthless. When I evaluated Bio, I used the same pump and same B100 supplier. Varied the ratio so you get as close as possible to something consistent.
