That is almost certainly the same car with a revised front end. Same color, same stupid side skirts, same wheels. I'd be willing to bet that the original front end wasn't convincing anyone so he went closer to factory.

I was thinking "ok yeah that's a nice burble but lets here him get on it a bit" ... then the rev and I about jumped out of my seat.

I have to disagree a bit with TPMS. I get that they aren't the most reliable things, but on modern cars with low profile tires, it can be extremely hard to tell by feel if your tire is low. I've been surprised before when the TPMS has caught a slowish leak on my 245/40/18's before I did.

Ok, that was silly.

On a full dresser! I feel uncomfortable splitting when I have panniers on my little sv650, let alone something that wide! Nyc roads are narrower than that, but now way I'd be trying to shoot the gap on something that big, wide and heavy.

My girlfriend and I were literally crying laughing. They looked so genuinely uncomfortable and HUGE on those horses.

Haha, yeah, not big but wouldn't sell one like that.

shoot me an email at william.o.watts at gmail.com and we can discuss. I feel like talking money on here is in bad taste. Also my ebay listing here will give you an idea.

one blem in the prototype set...

Definitely. Let me know what type of carbs they are and the only question will be whether I have a mold that will work already or I need to make one.

Eisberg4k1 - Email me at william.o.watts at gmail.com. I'm in the process of setting up an ebay store, and have one set listed now, but if you want anything custom it's best to email me.

Shameless plug I know but it's appropriate for this one.

I just saw an explanation on Facebook for why this is so bad. A southern friend of mine posted "Someone just spun out in front of me driving at a normal speed. Very scary."

Yes, but if you are putting the COL outside of the rotor, you are expending energy to create negative lift, not something you want to do with a critical load All else being the same, multi rotor has a larger COG range. You can put an aggressive cyclic on a multi rotor or tandem too

Right, but the COL will always be within the rotor disc. Having two or more rotors allows for a greater COG range for a given lifting power, not to mention a better engine power/lifting power ratio, hence the Chinook and the like.

Fair enough. I wasn't saying they were better than a single rotor, just surprisingly stable and agile all things considered.

Exactly. That is the way most of these small RC quadricopters work and they are surprisingly stable and agile.

Yeah, electric motors are pretty damn reliable. and with fixed pitch (variable speed) rotors, the typical wear parts and failure modes of helicopters go out the window.

Yeah, I don't care about this being an automatic at all as long as I can make it hold a gear on the overrun to get it to crackle and pop like that deliberately.

So, I'm somewhat adventurous. I ride a motorcycle daily and love the typical thrill sports.
