Title: Short blasts rock
Post by: ohgood on December 03, 2008, 01:56:22 PM
Haven't been on the bike much at all lately, holidays, family, eating, work, weather.

Today I played hooky and got in a few miles. Man, does it ever ROCK to be ridin when the rest of the world is workin !

Got new super-black shields for the helmets, new gloves, and one of those fan doo-hickies that lights up with the wind and stuck it to ma lid. LOVE IT !

The gs has been sitting in  30F weather, unused for a couple weeks, fired on the first bump of the starter. Man, gotta love a dependable bike ! :D

There it is. If you've never ordered from them before keep in mind it'll take about three weeks to get here to the US

Here's a nicer one. Took me a while to find it but it's got a tail fin.

this is the doo-hickey i got. it's cheesy, but you just never know it might save a life:
(http://www.newenough.com/image/path/5344/Default.jpg)

takes about 2 mph worth of air flow to send it spinning and run the bright led's. the wife said it was screaming "HELLO I"M HERE !" as I went by on the bike.

on newenough.com they're like $4.99 or $9.99. i'm ordering another one for the wife's helmet. we may look like goobers with these things on, but at least there will be another couple lights on our tours ! :)

Sounds good :)  Might I ask if you can post a picture of that wind powered light thingy (Doo-hickie :P) as it is attached to your lid ? :)
