First there was the MIGHTY HOFFMOBILE...........

Then there was...........

The WOLFMOBILE V2


Yep, i have been reduced to riding a freakin Gopher round the local shopping centre:Sport:

Oh well, my son, and just about everyone who saw me, thought it was pretty funny....got it up on 3 wheels at one point, and with the aid of my ratbag son, we even got a bit of \"wheelspin\" at one point.

Corners on a dime, accelerates like a clapped out postie scooter on valium!

Yeehah! :spank:


:rof: Thats gold , you look reeeeal impressed with the power delivery..... Just 1 question though , where do the TB's fit on that thing ? :D :D :D

Here's the first round of "mod's"....a cheap black paint job, some nice orange rim stripes...crooked as always, a set of "Titanium TB's", and some handle bar streamers.....definitely B.O.T.M. stuff, i reckon!

How far can you get on a charge ?

Imagine the speed down the hill from your place to Marion, YEEHAA !

Oh at least a couple of hours of charge..........enough to sneak out of Marion for a "high speed" run down Shephereds Hill Road!!!!!

Now that would freak the cops out if they saw some guy tucked in behind the bars, in full leathers, going for it!!!!

Pump the Tyres up to about 100psi...and i reckon, with my weight, you could hit, oh, maybe 40km/h....before the speed wobbles set in!!!!!

:eek:

Boys,I hope you read that :D


Wait,I have a better idea...........how do you think it would go at the BMX track opposite my place :thumbup:

Bloody slow...i reckon you would have heaps of fu though if you towed it behind a Trail Bike!!!!!!!

Maybe we should purchase an old clapped out Gopher and "experiment"....how much trouble could you get yourself in....cops would be too busy laughing to book you!

:spank:

Thats true Appollo,I am interested in electric motorcycles and a 60volt electric motor in a bike gives about the same torque as a 500-600cc petrol motor.

Damn, I go out for a couple of hours, and this place comes to life :rof:

Nice work on the GFG boys... lol

I went and saw Pam tonight. Got to the hospital about 7pm, left just before 9pm. She's doing well, has been up and about, and say's she's coming home tomorrow... "Don't care what the doc say's... I'm going home tomorrow"... Her words...lol

I made the mistake of parking in the Harris Scarfe carpark :banghead: ... Man, was that a stupid idea. I was right at the top... level 6. Got back to the car at about 9:15... got out of the carpark at 10pm :banghead: Then the guys says "That'll be $12.40" :jawdrop: I asked how long we'd been there, and he asked what time I got to my car.. told him 9:15, and he goes, Ok, I'll drop it back to the previous hour. :Flip:

Oh well, lesson learnt, the city sucks on Friday night's, especially nearing Xmas.

:)
