Cool stuff! Do you have any problems with crooswinds ?patineto said:Maybe that was me, i being in Bend 3-4 times (love that town) on My way to B.C. from california.
Loaded it looks like this and sometimes even more when I'm traveling with a girlfriend since is even less space for everything necesary for 3/4 weeks on the road.
Oh yeah.... but a even bigger issue is the "Fat girlfriend" sindrome since they make the center of mass even closser to the rear wheel...MunkeeHucker said:Cool stuff! Do you have any problems with crooswinds ?
agreed. one of the better threads i've seen in a long while.Toshi said:this is a very cool thread
i don't want to get Political, critical or anything like that, but i trully believe the future of a country is base on the avility of his population to be educated, street smart, book smart, adaptive and even revolucionary and inovative, sadlly it the libraries keep clossing and the enfasis in education and values keep getting lost in paper work only dark future is awaiting.kinghami3 said:That wire work is just amazing too. I never have the patience to do things like this. I'm glad to see that there are people out there who are still creative.
Oh Man geodesic structures give me a Woody, I love that stuff, triangles and what ever shape evolve from them are one of my favorite thing in the whole wide world.Toshi said:when we start to build the thunderdome you'll be a very valuable person to know, patineto
Dude why to you think i don't do anything that have to do with Electronics or even electricity, because I suck at it,, I just don't get it,, well I understand a little but always gives me headacke not to mension a few sparks here and there..this is as dirty as my hands get when messing around with trying to build/improve things (put a nice cable on my headphones, which ultimately still sounded worse than my senns):

agreed, and I agree with the point made about this country needing more tech. education, at my old highschool they shut down ceramics, metalshop, advancved woodshop, CAD modeling, and autoshop. I've heard this year will be the last for graphic design, the rest of woodshop, photography, and they're killing off half of the painting/drawing classes. How will kids learn to fix/ create anything?.:Jeenyus:. said:You are brilliant.
Not really I just work a lot....:Jeenyus:. said:You are brilliant.
sadlly I feel your pain and i wish more people were aware of it and try to do something about it before is way to late (if not already)....maxyedor said:agreed, and I agree with the point made about this country needing more tech. education, at my old highschool they shut down ceramics, metalshop, advancved woodshop, CAD modeling, and autoshop.
