Wow, Another Gizmo You Can't Do Without

[teerex51]

This "incredible device" is installed on your fuel line and allegedly creates a magnetic field that's supposed to improve your fuel economy and eliminate noxious fumes yada, yada, yada :haha: .

A (very gullible) FJR rider here has installed it and we're teasing the living hell out of him for having been scammed out of €70,00 ($84.00).

Wonder if it has already taken America by storm or is about to get there...

Group buy anyone?

Teerex

PS: Ooops ($84,00 replaced by $84.00). Still $84 too much...

$84,000? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I think I'll pass on this group buy! :bleh: :bleh: :bleh:

Anybody want to buy a bridge?

I've heard stories about that type of thinghy-magiggy (not only for bikes, but also for cars). As I understand it, the original intention was to prevent solid debris caused by old rusting tanks from reaching the carburetor (or Fuel Injectors). Rumor has it that, as a side effect, the magnetic polarization applied to the gasoline molecules helps to improve the efficiency of the combustion, thus improving gas mileage. I have no idea whether this is true or not; I am not aware of any test data that could back this up. This is just what I’ve heard about it.

$84 for a magnet is waaayyyyy too much.

 

[teerex51]

Aaaaight....I'll give it to you for $79.99 and I'll throw in a bridge .

Any bridge. You pick it.

I have some ocean view property down in AZ, are you interested?

 

[FJRocha]

Is this the one with the 600 mile walk to the beach? I saw it and it's awesome, highly recommended.

 

[afterburn]

Yes, lotsa beach.

 

[twowheelnut]

I've this carburetor that'll give you 100 mpg. Interested?

 

[teerex51]

I'll trade you some authentic POLIZEI flashing-light brackets.

Private message for TWN: BTW, that rear-seat box has no bottom. Just a sort of fairing for the radio, which is bolted to the frame. Price tag $1,000. Fuhgeddaboutit.

You are Lex Luthor and I claim my 3 plans for world domination and 2 bricks of processed kryptonite.

Hydrocarbon (gasoline) molecules are non-polar in nature - they don't have a positive and negative end (like water does). Magnets would do absolutely nothing to hydrocarbon molecules.

Hydrocarbon (gasoline) molecules are non-polar in nature

The fact that you even know that is beyond geek. Do you pick up chicks with that mouth?? :haha:

 

[RonC]

Oh, yeh, I'm a geek and proud of it. We have to take a geek self-esteem course so we can go out in public.

Problem is that Bill Gates is a geek, and he has billions! I'm a geek and I have...a mortgage, car loans and tuition to pay for a kid in college.

Oh, and this is what a geek looks like, just so you can recognize one. I'm the one on the right.

[gasman]

Nice pic Ron, and I happen to like geeks. JB

 

[twowheelnut]

Yo, Ron! Get outta the way, you're blocking my view! :blink:

 

[FJRocha]

Is Ron for Ronda or Ronald?

Would that be your right, looking into the camera? or my right looking at the picture? :bleh: :haha: :haha: :haha:

 

[teerex51]

Mmmmh....not the kind of geek you want to mess with. :argue:

Besides, that about the ...er...hydrocarbon molecules is a well-known fact :blushing: but thanks for bringing that to our attention, Ron.
