I love the Lord and I love my country, and I want to be a good steward of all that He has given us.  My heroes are the great inventors who made America great.

In the 1960s, while I was in college, it was predicted that someday, we would be running out of fossil energy. Then what?

Buckminster Fuller, a great inventor and philosopher, had an answer that made sense to me:

“We don’t have to be afraid of the future if we do more with less”

Motorcycles did more with less.  Motorcycles got 43 mpg in an era when cars got 14.  Besides, I already understood and loved motorcycles.  I decided to make it my business to design and make things that made motorcycles better transportation, reasoning that every mile on a bike was cutting fuel consumption by 2/3rds.

My fairing designs of the 1970s were the right thing at the right time.  I made over a quarter of a million Windjammers and associated saddlebags before selling my business, Vetter Corporation. We saved a lot of gasoline.

In the 1980s, I sponsored the Craig Vetter Fuel Economy contests to learn the formula for ultimate mileage.  (It is all on this web site, by the way) We really can do more with less.  There is so much more we can do.

I took some time out for Carol and I to raise our two boys.  Now it is time to get back to work. 

We still do not know how long our fossil fuel will last.  One thing we can be sure of:  There is less petroleum on the earth today than there was forty years ago.

Today, I resume my life's work to make motorcycles better transportation.  But things are different.  Some automobiles can get 40 mpg while the motorcycles people seem to want to drive – hot rod Harleys – get around 30 mpg or less.  I cannot support this.  Today, I work with high mileage motorcycles and apply what I have learned to make them better transportation. 

The goal is the same: 

To do more - to live better - with less energy.
