I was reading about poor shakey's bikes getting stolen, and happened to read that he has two, one a worked GSXR, the other running a Fuel Cell! Does anyone know anything about this bike, what type of fuel cell it is running, etc? From his lap times it looked like the two bikes were performing about the same. This could mean huge things for the MC industry if it works well.

FYI a fuel cell does not necissarily mean alternative fuels. Fuel cell can be used in place of gas tank. My buddies Camaro has a ""Fuel Cell", it's just an aftermarket gas tank that sits in the trunk. It's stronger than stock but that's about it.

I'm pretty sure an alternative fuel vehicle would probably get the team booted off the grid.

it isn't just a gas tank that sits in the trunk.( well it usually is) but it is called a fuel cell because it has a rubber liner in it to help prevent leaks in the case of an accident. where regular gas tank would just crack and explode the rubber liner holds the fuel when the outer sheet metal is damaged
