In this case, there's no blue book value that applies...so it's worth exactly as much as someone will pay for it. Although, in my case, the dude would have to pay me to drive it away.
FWIW: It really is a nice bit of work...
but what I can't figure out is... I can't think of any design question that would require that solution...
Oh well... Horses for courses and all that.... :cookoo:

it's not a semi trailer, its a scaled down jobbie.
I'm guessing its a horse trailer or equivalent, converted to be a multi-bike trailer, for HD.
From an engineering/machining point of view, its an impressive piece of work.
From a normal point of view.. my brain is still saying "what... what... WHAT?/.....??? :cookoo:"

the evo engines will pull a 77 chevy stationwagon with ease. so a trailer wont be a problem.
I give major props for the ingenuity to make it work. I'd like to drive it just for the experience. I imagine it's like a really powerful golf kart.
ive driven an flhtcui ( injected bagger. pulling a car. at highway speed. not all that difficult. unlike metric bikes. HD and metric bikes make the same power. but at different locations. HD down low. andmetric up high.

Free advertising and it worked cuz you asked about it.

Yup. On vacation, left the laptop at home so I couldn't do any work. So, I'm hitting the forum using my iPhone.
Hitting the forum through the browser on the iPhone pops up an annoying nag about the forum bring able to use Tapatalk seems like every time I load a new page. There's probably a way to change or disable the signature but I haven't spent the time looking for it.

Never said it was required. All about convenience. I use Tapatalk to keep tabs on 5-10 different forums. It automatically brings up the newest posts since I last checked. Much more convenient, and easier to read, than viewing the same in Safari.

I'm almost thinking they've got to have something rigged up where turning is like on a tank or something where you reverse one side or the other to turn. I can't see how the front wheels would turn much at all, even with a steering wheel.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
or a brake like on a tractor ( split) hit both both wheels stop. hit one and its wheel stops. aiding turning. the dial wheels if mounted on a single pivot point is a major flaw. if they turn like an automobiles wheels then maybe not. need more info. i dont see this thing being a daily driver/rider . unless owner takes trailer off
I agree. Not likely to be a daily driver...more like a show pony.

OK, since this thread has been officially jacked, I'll respond to the new topic.
I'm going to go with the Android is ok, but I prefer iOS stance. This will surely lead to a debate that can only lead to this thread getting Tard Farmed.
I went from an Android phone to my current iPhone because the hardware was painfully slow and the Android market seemed to be moving in a direction I didn't like. In other words, Android apps are allowed to access too many features of your phone causing me to lose trust in the overall security of the device. In addition, Android is getting too fragmented. Google releases a new version every 6 months or so, before the existing version has even penetrated the market. And, unfortunately, they leave it to the device manufacturers & cellular providers to update handsets (mostly because manufacturers & cellular providers are allowed to morph the OS into their own monstrosity), if the existing hardware will even handle the new features. This is leading to the Android market filling up with apps that may or may not work on your phone, depending on the software version and hardware along with apps that will steal your personal info, since Google doesn't have any sort of vetting process prior to an app being made available on the market.
To contrast, Apple, through their strict control over both hardware and software, as well as their control over which features/functions apps can access, has made a much more secure and stable device. I am happier now with my iPhone than I ever was with my Android phone.
I currently use a Windows laptop for work, a Windows PC for home/gaming, an Apple iPad, and Linux on both my file server and my home theater pc. I have an ancient iBook that cannot be upgraded any further due to hardware limitations, and I have also built and used a Hackintosh, though it has since been dismantled. So, please don't call me an Apple fanboy, because I don't fit the definition.
Agreed, definetely not a daily driver!

problem solved...........topic title changed :flipoff:
Just to keep on the topic that is off topic from the jacked thread. I prefer Android. Had the iPhone4 and it's cool and works flawless as far as the hardware is concerned but it just doesn't have the diversity of my Motorola X2. The Apple vetting process that you speak of seemed to kinda limit what I could get. But on the flip side of that the Andriod marketplace is a geat place to pass out you personal info if you don't watch what you're downloading. Really comes down to personal preference as both are great. Kinda like the PS3 or Xbox360 debate. (go PS3)
While I don't necessarily disagree with what jdoorn14 has said about Android & Apple (though I come to different conclusions), my opinion is visual:

never needed guytunes for apple eiother. have figured ways around that
I believe that we will still be using iPhones, or some version of an iPhone, for the next 20 years. DROID phones will be gone in 5 years, tops.
The following of Apple products is cult like. I love my iPad, iPhone, and iPod Nano ( the newest touchscreen kind ). If I can afford it, my next computer will be an Apple as well and I will have officially made the transition to the dark side. I CAN'T WAIT!!!
Can't disagree with the cult status of Apple. But that doesn't mean it's better. ex. The Zune vs. iPod. :D Now I really started it :D

i dont deal wiht cults that prescribe using itunes. or forcing me to hack my ipod/ipad/isee, or whatever to use some other service to transfer music. i use microsoft or vlc to get music onto ipods that i service for the pawn shop. 5 minutes = $10 best money ive ever made. this happens often. ppl lose an ipod touch to a pawn. and leave pw in place. theyre not goingto be forthcoming wiht PW. ive ways around that takes all of 2 minutes. i then load what i feel new owner would want. music, a few games etc. some apps etc. and shes good to go. ive got 4 more to service tomorrow.

I read an article the other day that was similar to this, but it didn't note the demise of the Android OS. Here it is. (http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Mobile-and-Wireless/Android-Will-Peak-in-2012-Windows-Phone-Will-Pass-iOS-by-2016-IDC-200233/) In a nutshell, it said that sales of Android phones are expected to peak in 2012 (this year) and will likely lead market share through at least 2016 with around 53%. This is due to the number of different phone manufacturers and models using Android OS more than popularity/superiority. Both iOS and Windows Mobile are supposed to hold around 19% each by 2016 (which, for iOS will likely include only a few models - the current iPhone plus the last 3-4 models). By 2016, Blackberry will no longer be a major player in the cellphone/smartphone market with only 6% of the market share.
Does Apple have a good racket? Sure, but so does Google. As mobile computing technology continues to advance, each company will do their best to make people believe that they need to trade up to the most current products on a regular basis. Why else does Apple release a new iOS version every year with new devices to run it, and why else would Google put out a new OS flavor every 6-9 months, before the current version is available for many devices?
phones should be able to rome free outside as they see fit. limiting your phone to a pocket or purse is no life for a phone. They will never truly be happy or see their full potential....ahh, wait....crap, wrong thread.

I have a Imac, an MacBook Pro, and an Ipad. (the Ipad sits on my desk collecting dust, and the only reason i have one is because i won it.) i WILL NOT convert to the Iphone because i love my GalaxyS way too much and will upgrade this Aug to the S3, if sprint ever gets them in stock for more then a day.

But if you let your phone outside your pocket it can become damaged. I can't stand the hypocritical A$$holes that rock their phone in some soft-case holder on their belt for the world to attack. I keep mine in an otter-box defender inside it's hard-case inside my pocket inside my kevlar riding pants inside my rain suit. I only use bluetooth so I won't damage it. Anyone who lets their phone ride their hip and then bitches and moans because it has a cracked screen is DUMB.
