Hi,

just imagine there´s no dark in the middle of the night....
Well it takes a generator (the one mentioned in that link will do it a second lamp w/ same power...), some gas, couple of wirings and a trailer to transport all that stuff.

With a 10k Generator instead of a 0.5K he could add shields, photon torpedos and a phaser bank.;)

Hi,

to the rest of the world it might be a joke. To us it´s one way to continue training in the dark, no need to visit a gym studio for spinning

Hoi Hans,

Not only that, but if you had any walls which need FAST DRYING, you could simply park your bike in front and they'd dry right away!

As far as spinning goes...I get paid to do it, so...<g> I *do* get kidded a lot about looking like a Christmas Tree in Winter...

take care, and vielen Dank für's Foto!

HA! That’s great! You get super visibility, a great workout and no batteries.

I can only manage 36watts at a time right now. I have watt envy.

Why not just mount the generator on the frame, like this?

Hey! That's not the picture I posted. I just had a motorcycle in mine.

Man that's creepy.
