to Buell, the key benefits of using think3 technology included:

-- Ability to read any legacy data
-- Hybrid surface and solid modeling capabilities, and
-- Improved design to manufacturability - having the flexibility of doing
iterative designs without losing data, time or design intent through
manufacturing."
"More Americans from every demographic group are riding
motorcycles these days," Buche said.
In response, the MSF has expanded and improved its training
programs , which now include the Experienced RiderCourse(sm), Scooter
School 1 for scooterists, and will soon add the Seasoned Cyclist
program, designed for senior citizens who ride.
