If you saw mechBgon's new "tail light" you would know why he doesnt mind parting with his LD-1000 wich happens to be the same one I just bought for simplicity's sake on sale at performance for like 25$... too bad I didnt ask ^^ thats food on the table for the 3 kids!
If they ever posses mech's bike for some reason or another they can turn it into a police vehicle with little trouble just add a few more lights and a siren and its reach for beach duty!
on a side note: I have the Dinotte Ultra 5 now... and OMG that thing is so small! I am very impressed with it so far, not sure if I will make a li-ion battery pack for it or not.
