I got the Honda because I liked the name, Rebel and the blue is gorgeous. :laugh:
Just like a woman... go by name or color :p

I did a trip up to Labrador City in Canada (1200mile north of NYC). There was a section of the highway that wasn't paved, all gravel for about 200 miles. It was an epic ride :).

Some techical difficulties about 20 miles north of Montreal :lol: :

I wish my gravel road looked that good. They used big rocks and called it gravel. :rolleyes:

Just saw this at the local vape shop. Smallest ever.

It's called the carbon fiber mini volt by council of vapor

Honestly with tc and vw up to 40w it blows the nugget out of the water.

It is definitely better looking then the Nugget, but like you said,no TC, 10W less and from what I gather they have the tendency to die easily which blows all other arguments out of the water for me personally.

Oh crap. Did you crash in the gravel. What a ride that must have been. Love the little dirt bike. :)
Nope, oil pressure sender failed and spewed oil everywhere. The sender was in between the V so everything had to come off to get to it. 3 hrs and some JB weld later, we were back on the road.

ps: you guys (m/f) should start a motorcycle thread, I wanna show off mine too! View attachment 571487
I think there was one but it petered out pretty quick.

And to get back on topic, my Mini Volt landed at my local Fedex hub and ETA was updated to Friday delivery instead of Sat. Took 4 days to cross the country and it'll take 4 days to travel 15 miles :facepalm:

Alright then.

Cat, if you do mind; it's on her:

Go ahead. I don't think Kat would mind a few bike pics. (I hope)

'86 Honda CB700 Nighthawk S, this color scheme only came out in the USA and in that year so it's pretty rare in general, let alone over here in NL.

My daily driver, a Yamaha TDM900. Not much to look at imo, but pretty much maintenance free and such an awesome bike to ride.

Ok, I caved. I have no self-control when it comes to vape gear. :facepalm: I've GOT to stop looking at this thread. :danger:

VapeNW is having an early 4th of July sale starting yesterday. 20% off with code 20%off4thJuly. So I bought a Rolo (can't spell the real name) 75. It's all @Katdarling and @DPLongo22 's fault. Since they are the resident experts on itty bitty mods I pulled the trigger. I backed out once but then said "Oh the hell" and hit BUY. That door better not be a pain because I'm thinking that this would be a good stealth mod since you can't see the panel light up. You 2 are the biggest enabler. :D

Oh man, nice! I like the Nighthawk and that might have been my next bike.

Thanks. I took her around the Alps at one point but these days she only comes out when the weather is nice. They're fun bikes and pretty advanced for the period, but good ones are a hard find these days. You might have to get your hands dirty and fix one up yourself :)

Plenty of info and helpful, knowledgeable folks at the Nighthawk forum if you're serious though.

But but but..... it's just a little 5 clicks. :ohmy:

I dunno, Cap'n. That's a tough dilemma. I take mine out in my purse, but I'm generally a) very careful and 2) checking it all the time. It's a huge shame that some are having probs with the locking mechanism. The really would have made this mod near perfection.

And, and, and with 4th of July code the price drops to $23.99.

And, and, and,.........
Thank you for your purchase!
Your order # is: 10023XXXX.

Another one bites the dust. :lol:

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Ruh-roh :blush:

I hope y'all enjoy them as much as @Katdarling and I do! They come locked. Unlock it, then never touch that stoopit button again. Useless... ;)

And CONGRATULATIONS!!! :thumbs:

PS: Some SWEET bikes!!!

And for our Canadian friends, and those who visit, I thought some of you might get a kick out of this guy (if you don't already know him). He sure cracks ME up!!!

I'm still here on ECF... sort of. ;)

I'm konfused. Is this a new edition of the Mini Volt?



This post makes me a double guru (20,000 posts).

That's me of course. :p

I don't know how that happened because I'm normally very quiet and shy.

I can't think of a better thread to become a double guru. I've had a lot of fun here. There are a lot of good people, funny people and enablers here that keep trying to spend my money but that's ok cuz I've been called an enabler a time or 2. :D

Thank you @Katdarling and your cowboy sidekick for starting this enjoyable thread. I have spent a lot of money due to this thread but I've also saved a lot. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. :lol:

Cheers

Double congrats, TM! I'm very happy that you're such a valuable and integral part of this little itty bitty thread! It's been a fun "ride", EH? ;)



Do you still ride? This is me from a few yrs back (Skyline Dr):

I know, right? I figured it was worth it for a few buck more to order from the states.

I'm not a big fan of internal batteries either unless I build them myself but I've replaced internal batteries before and it's not that hard so it doesn't really bother me. DNA200/75's are so big that I missed having a tiny mod. I have a VS DNA40 which is pretty small but the Mini Volt is even smaller! I wasn't thrilled about the 1200mah battery which is why I was hesitant to pull the trigger.

Very handsome. you and the bike. :D

Nice bike, brother! I am licensed to ride, but didn't for very long. When SO had to quit because of the onset of M.S., we got rid of both bikes (they were little itty bitty 250s that were perfect for tootling around town!) I'm not experienced enough to carry a passenger, and SO doesn't have the balance to be on a two-wheeler any more :(

Sorry to hear of the delayed delivery :( That SUX ROX

Dings, , , :(


Just two mm taler than a Nugget but with a build in 1500mAh 18500 battery :shock:

32 bucks at Fasttech, comes in silver, red, black & pink and does VW or TC with nickel, titanium and stainless, not sure about firmware upgradability:



NO! They stole our name??? No no no no no. The "Fatty" is the KFM plus! Oh Hugo........ just stop that.



Alright then.

Cat, if you do mind; it's on her:
