My cousin has the penguin and I used it extensively while visiting a couple weeks ago. I only used it to make seltzer water and it's fantastic. I'm not a big soda drinker so I didn't try any of the flavors, but my guess is the energy drink will fall flat compared to redbull. The other thing is the replacement CO2 cartridges are expensive to replace. When you factor that into the price of the unit it's really not that cheap. Well, maybe for energy drinks that are $2 apiece, but not for sodas or seltzer. There's a company that makes a valve you can put on the cartridge that allows you to refill it at a paintball shop or industrial gas store at a fraction of the cost of a new cartridge. If I were to get a sodastream this is the route I'd go. http://co2doctor.com/
I have my doubts that they can keep the weight to under 700# with a steel tube frame. This guy is having trouble keeping weight under 900# and he's using a carbon fiber tub. Granted it's using a bigger engine, but not 200# bigger. http://www.palatov.com/cars/dp1.html Read the blog on the car here: http://dpcars.net/ Would it be fun as shit to drive regardless? Fuck yes!
They went away from CF because it cracks upon impact, whereas the poly-material they're using for the GP doesn't. Plus they're able to intergrate vents into the GP knuckles. That being said, there's a pair of $300+ Dianese gloves that have CF knuckles. FWIW I wear the A* SP1 and love everything about them other than the fact that the palms are starting to show wear after only 1.5 seasons.
OMG OMG OMG What a good idea!!! Wait, don't do it yet, let me rep you first so that when you do rep him it'll be even sweeter!!! I do like the bike though...
A PC at best will smooth out your throttle response and may get you a few HP, but if you don't have any mods it won't be much. Definately not worth the money if you're bike is mainly used for transportation. You'd be amazed at the potential of you bike in it's stock form if you took it out on some more engaging rides.
I agree, I don't think I'm fast and my track record isn't exactly stellar. But, if an instructor tells me to run advanced, I'm going to run advanced. But enough of that, back to your regularly schedueled contest thread
My old man got a ticket while in the ER. It was written by a novice trooper who had their chief or whatever with her so she was more or less obliged to play it by the book. I guess rules are rules, but it's shitty none the less.
