BYE ..............

Loulou think that bike is one of the best darn things people could do right now.

With the way Gas is going for us North Americans..
Pretty soon we will all be riding mopeds / Motorcycles and for people with short commmutes/city, will be riding peddle bikes. Looks like our streets will soon look like china sry to say,, But I guess you can only eat your cake for so long until reality catches up.

I have seen a few things happen close to home with my own eyes now. At this time you would see nothing but allot of 42ft and up boats. Being at the water with my young one today. I think I saw
5 boats of that size, and a bunch of 24ft down. This year looks like allot of people bought them rubber type boats that divers mostly use. Saw about 20 of them on the water. When other years you would be lucky to see one a week. Today I saw a few little sail boats the 2/4 person types.

I went by the Motorcycle place near my house looking at helmets. He had a bunch of mopeds out side. He said they are selling like hot cakes. Bike sales the owner said is through the roof.
Guess now people who wanted to own a bike, now have something on there side to fight against their significant other with now. Gas prices,
with the lower price , good mpg bikes on the net you can see big hits on vids / reviews of them now. Looking at a review of the 08 ninja 250r
has 298,668 views. My brother just came by my house, his girl friend works at the dealer I bought my bike from. He said it is their number one seller at the dealer now. Im willing to bet
bicycle shops are making a killing right now to.
I have seen tons of them out today. Mind you it was over 90%s out side today.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

So Loulou :: the Bike runs off one battery,, Then when it runs down you switch to the other one? If so that is a pretty cool deal.

Thank .. Wayne s ..

It is true that gasoline prices to rise ( $1.40 the litre), the scooter (gas / electric) / electric bicycle / motorcycle .. selling like hot bread ..

Two of my friends, have obtained electric scooter to get to work .. approximately 25/35 km .. it leaves their car at home :-)

But does not give the keys to their wives :-)

from a wife to husband I want to share with you guys.. enjoy the weekend

To my darling husband,

Before you return from your overseas trip I just want to let you know about the small accident I had with the pick up truck when I turned into the driveway. Fortunately not too bad and I really didn’t get hurt, so please don’t worry too much about me.

I was coming home from Tesco, and when I turned into the driveway I accidentally pushed down on the accelerator instead of the brake. The garage door is slightly bent but the pick up fortunately came to a halt when it bumped into your car.

I am really sorry, but I know with your kind-hearted personality you will forgive me. You know how much I love you and care for you my sweetheart. I am enclosing a picture for you.

I cannot wait to hold you in my arms again.

Your loving wife.

lol i have seen that one before. Forgot what the true story was. Think it was somthing with the houses being on a hill stepped up from one another. Truck came over the wall hitting the corner of the Garage crushing the front roof in and landing on the Ferrari. Something like that anyway.

Thats another thing I keep forgetting I want to do,, But is a tad more complicated then car/ trucks.
I want to make Nav / strobe lights for my heli.

Thanks for the search m8.. Thing is 9volt bat would be allot of weight for these little helis.
That size chip might be to big. There are people out there that have done NAV/ Strobes.
Just these r/c trucks are taking up all my time / hobby money right now LOL.

If I don't get to it this summer. I will most likely get to it this fall/winter. Around that time when we turn the clocks back. I get home from work it is dark. Lights would help allot with knowing the Direction heli is going. They have a lipo alarm out to. Last winter not having an alarm did not bother me. since mine has the green light on receiver that turns red to worn you. The green light helped me keep track some what on the direction that it was flying. If I'm able to get the hh-65 or hh-60, not sure how easy it would be to see the receiver light (Stock body at night the light shines right through it) so the lights would help allot if i change the body.

Looking at the vid below with the twister hawk body (hh-60) You can tell you can not see the receiver light)
