My wife owns a health food shop, and if I sneeze or show any discomfort, she'll bring home disgusting remedies from every corner of the world. Munchausen or love?? My bet is both:) Just hang in there, the body will heal it self, and then your wife will come out of her Munchausen/witch spell;) Thanks dude. I can tell you feel my pain. Whatever the problem, she thinks apple cider vinegar will cure it. Ugh! Yuck! Blech! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get your body temperature up by drinking hot fluids and wrapping up well. You'll be feeling better after a day. A sauna would be perfect if you had one. Drugs make you feel better, but they just prolong the symptoms. I do wish I had a sauna. I am using hot 🛀 as a substitute and plenty of flushing the system with water, and ACV to facilitate a detox effect. See. After all my complaining, it seems I am actually learning a thing or two from my wife. Still feels like Munchausen by Proxy though 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent video, It is good to know that you still ride, no matter what the weather conditions are. I wonder what the current mileage is, on the V8?

Fantastic video - both the content and the production values. Maybe you can also post this in the Riding Safety and Protective Gear section of the Forum so that people can better find this very useful information in the future.

I wonder what the current mileage is, on the V8? Thanks! I can get back and forth to work twice in messy winter conditions, meaning about 30km, and I'm down to two bars at the end of that. A couple of things to keep in mind, riding in snow is adding a lot of resistance, I'm in the 250lb range with gear on, and this particular wheel is getting up to two years old now, so your mileage may vary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a safety Nazi, but that guy riding the Monster at ~7-minute mark, with no safety gear and his hands in his pockets, is dead if the wheel cuts out. I can't help but think of this as I continue to recover from my face-plant type fall where my arms provided some protection for my face/head. Even if people don't wear any safety gear, I really wish they wouldn't ride with hands in their pockets. I tell you, it's a near-death sentence if the wheel fails. I'll get off my soap box now. I did like the video Edited January 6, 2019 by Marty Backe 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And people wonder why countries like Spain are cracking down on personal electric vehicles, and in countries like England and Germany they are already illegal. I lost track of all the dangerous, and illegal things I saw in that video. Still it wont be long before he kills himself. Hopefully he wont kill an innocent bystander like that scooter rider did recently in Spain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but the speedometer in the corner wasn't, and none of the moves that put him and pedestrians in danger didn't, not, happen because it was sped up. I once saw 52kph (32mph) when I glanced at it. I know that's not much in the automotive world but with one wheel , it would just take one car door to open or one pedestrian to step out from in front of a bus they just exited to ruin someones day. @Roadrunner yes, the wobbles were interesting. He seems to be an experienced rider, which seems to put a hole in the theory that wobbles are just a beginner thing. I found his camera mount quite interesting, but wondered if it might cause further injury in a fall. It certainly would have provided "interesting" footage during a face plant.
