recent buying....

may see a higher base price set for OEC now there's
further good news for them.

Already a "watch" stock after improved financials,
further news can only help Orbital's prestige as a
company with improving viability with circumstances
now forcing action not only in asia but globally.
I saw a plethora of scooters and one big bike on a
visit to HQ in Dec 2000, and there were two 4 stroke
bikes, one looked like a hog, and the other was
recognized as a red Honda Post Office delivery
bike, but that's all grist for the mill now.

What should be understood is what was happening
back then is being realized now.
Acceptance of new technology takes time, for
strategies persued to avail their fulfilment, and
much of the work was done before Cook came. IMHO,
he was brought in for one purpose, and that's to
finish the job.

(IHMO, Kymco is only be one of many once stronger
emissions regulations start biting everywhere.)
