I know, coz I study the same. Think "Viagra", which was originally a medicine for diabetes.<BR/><BR/>But all said n done, no publicity is bad publicity, and this whole fiasco will die off when money exchanges hands and both companies hogging more than their fair share of the proverbial limelight..<BR/><BR/>For the time being, let's stop being lawyers and get back to being bikers, shall we?first_synnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01320596853177213504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612698.post-73812979293217556992007-09-03T20:31:00.000+05:302007-09-03T20:31:00.000+05:30bajaj can stop nagging like a bunch of high school...bajaj can stop nagging like a bunch of high school girls.

They are fine people to talk!<BR/><BR/>I say good for Bajaj to have introduced technology and good good for TVS to introduce it as well, and two thumbs up to TVS for sticking by their guns.<BR/><BR/>Last I know, a patent can be given when something is invented or discovered and adopted. By adapting this technology for use in 'small' motorcycle engines, Bajaj can hardly claim sole credit.<BR/><BR/>If anyone should think Bajaj invented twin spark tech, then they should take a look at the technology used in piston-engined airplanes, from the WW1 era. Here, they were used for better combustion as well as the more important aspect of redundancy, if the other failed.<BR/><BR/>Way to go, TVS, amy the force be with ya!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612698.post-16093502701297286972007-09-03T17:23:00.000+05:302007-09-03T17:23:00.000+05:30I think that Indian manufacturers are being really...I think that Indian manufacturers are being really stupid.
