There was an M400 at a shop for some ac work, but the owner shipped it back to the mainland because it couldn't be licensed here. The shop owner told me that, and he is highly regarded in the Italian exotic and vintage British car circles. We have some really stupid DMV regulations.

Could you tag it somewhere like here in AZ and then ship it down there? As long as its tagged outside of one of the major cities here, no emissions requirements!

That is a thought as rufblackbird is in AZ, thrlls is in TX, a pal is in OR and my brother is in CA. However, we also need to do a safety inspection on out of state cars. The out of state reg can be retained until expiration, but after that, it must be registered in Hawaii.

Our DMV sucks. There is an asinine rule that says kit cars are okay, as long as they resemble cars prior to 1967. The Noble doesn't, so that is why the M400 was shipped back to the mainland.

The Knolle Magnetrans System
https://faculty.washington.edu/jbs/itrans/knolle.htm

The Knolle Magnetrans system is an endless continuous passenger transit system having small cars moving along a fixed guideway. Embedded in the guideway is a tubular prime mover performing the same function as a cable in a cable-car system. The prime mover is driven by widely spaced stationary linear induction motors. The passenger cars are attached to the prime mover at fixed intervals and are pulled along by it. The wheelless cars are suspended magnetically over the track with permanent magnets in repulsion. The prime mover physically manipulates the cars to come to a crawl in stations. Passengers board dynamically from juxtaposed moving platforms. The basic mechanism is covered by U.S. Patent No. 3,320,903, Re 26,676; held by Ernst G. Knolle, inventor. A full-scale prototype vehicle and short test track has been built.

BASIC DIRECTIONAL STABILITY.
Tony Foale Designs, article on motorcycle aerodynamics.

One of the primary requirements for this is that the sideways Centre of Pressure should be behind the Centre of Gravity. The C of P. is a point through which we can consider the total wind force on the side area of the bike to act.
