novazeus Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 i’m thinking after i clear my road, do some pavement on the 9bot and 16s, maybe take the 18s out in the pasture to try it. the pasture is hard but not as hard as asphalt and even tho it’s padded, i think it will survive drops better in the grass. should have plenty of torque to get going. might be bouncy but might as well dive in out there. that’s what i bought it for.

That way you can be sure your interests are well represented and to get a fair deal. btw, i met with beazer land guy like wednesday and they want to go to contract this coming week. they wanna take down all my residential entitlements. at 400k an acre net to me, they can have all they get in zoning. this product is for sure what they wanna build here. https://m.beazer.com/orlando-FL/gatherings-of-lake-nona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Looks pretty nice! I got no idea what the going rate for property normally is down there, but that sounds good to me! At some point you can only spend so much money on stuff. More definitely is better, but how many Ferraris and Lambos does a person need? I'm still driving my $1000 car. I've now got a GW Tesla that cost more than my car cost . Enjoy it while you can I guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy it while you can I guess! trust me, me outliving my date with death by over three years now, money means nothing to me. if people look at their lives, they’ll realize the less they had, the happier they were. since this whole real estate and development has been in my dna since youth and i’ve earned and learned for as long as i can remember, it’s just like playing monopoly to me. might only be monopoly money but i ain’t givivg up park place and boardwalk for cheap. all this s**t is just about killing time.

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 That sounds like a nice plan. I've seen some yacht shows on TV, and I can see how the money can get spent pretty quickly! Some have crews and chefs onboard which is nice so you don't have to worry about maintenance, etc. Sounds like the good life! Pricing on http://www.superyachts.com/ is pretty crazy for some of them. I remember seeing some with helipads on the back. I think Leonardo Dicaprio was on one down in Cabo San Lucas when I visited a while back. St. Thomas also attracts the bigger ones. Maybe renting one is another option so you can try some different ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Any larger flat paved areas around like a hockey rink or basketball court? It's easier to learn when you have some free space to learn how to turn. Watch some of @Duf's videos if you get a chance. He had a real tough time learning on his Ninebot, but look where he is now! Quite the success story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 It's actually more than just killing time. It's learning how to ride one of the most fun and unique means of transport invented in the last 100 years! It also makes you feel like you're 15 again! It's that much fun. Really! I also think that's why some of us are so eager to see you hopping on that wheel and start having fun on it. The fun factor is great and palpable. Enjoy it while you can!

Enjoy it while you can! i love seeing the enthusiam on this forum and how much everybody enjoys getting outdoors and enjoying their wheels. i can tell the sensation of riding it are definitely different than anything i’ve attempted before. i’m weird i know, but it will only be fun for me, if Bob is having fun. it’s just a tool or device to hopefully exercise Bob with. ever seen cesar milan on inline skates. i rarely, i mean rarely leave the ranch, and when i do, i’m in my one ton dooley. i only have fun if others are having fun, an electric UNIcycle by definition, ruins that for me. now if i go to the local park when it’s crowded, and try to learn, i’m sure that will get some laughs. i guess fun for me before, always involved alcohol and a few hot twenty something gfs. now it’s just Bob and my other animals, no alcohol. fun for me just to be alive.

If you get good on the wheel, Bob might like to run along side you, like this guy and his dogs. But he did take a spill, luckily didn't get hurt. It's impossible to see all the rough spots when riding off pavement. Whoa, the screenshot YouTube picked looks like a pit bull running at you.

novazeus Posted November 20, 2017 Author Share Posted November 20, 2017 but yeah, it did rain today, just enough to be annoying. after feeding Betty, Bob and I drove to sam’s for turkey breasts loaves. traffic was hideous. finally got home and played with Bob, walk etc. wanted to feed the herd but they were already swarming the cowpens, so i answered a bunch of questions from cancer survivors group i’m on. tmrw sb good. high of 78 low 59. just starting to get use to wearing clothes again. probably gonna have to practice just walking around in my leathers. as soon as i put them on, i will be attack by Bob. don’t have any idea how long that will last. he thinks motorcycle jacket means play time. that’s the only way i could play at all with him when he was little. imagine what it would be like to raise a lion cub, i imagine a lion cub would be less bloody, it continues, not as bad, until this day, today in fact. if the driveway doesn’t work out, and i think i need more pavement, i’ll look around or build something.

Whoa, the screenshot YouTube picked looks like a pit bull running at you. yeah, first i gotta get comfortable on the wheel for whatever terrain and Bob is gonna be 150 pounds which is pretty big, so Bob has to learn too. we’ve done a run or two with him on a short leash next to the polaris, he’s really quick and smart. i hope, obviously after i learn the wheel, and i think it’s safe for Bob, or safer than him running along side a 1500 pound plus polaris, we’ll give it a go. i know @Marty Backe loves his gotways but if i were gotway i’d buy marty kingsong wheels if he promised not to ride gotways anymore. i hope these kingsongs or 9bot don’t break, i’m confident i can fix anything but at this stage of the game, i don’t wanna be fixing other people’s dogshit product like i’ve had to do my whole life. as a contractor, i’ve had to fix a bunch of poorly manufactured productts in the delivery of million dollar houses. i’m not looking for a hobby. my hobby is killing cancer.

novazeus Posted November 20, 2017 Author Share Posted November 20, 2017 now, when these real estate people i’m talking to finally put up, and maybe build a nice multi-use path network in here, and wheels get safer, hopefully, that might be fun. i have some very hot skateboarder gfs. in fact they were both gogo dancers at amphitheatre in ybor, they would love to ride around on these things and pimp them. they would understand the risks. i’m sure there might be more hot gfs that are coordinated but those are the only two i can think of. i know another one that is pretty darn hot and rides hunters and jumpers which is waay more dangerous, she’d be good. she works at caliente now.

novazeus Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 so today i start. today was me and Bob’s third trip to the dog park that has all of these great areas surrounding it for learning. naturally my tax dollars don’t work for me because they have signs posted. so before discovering the ban on everything, since i had put on my high tops instead of flip flops, i did about 30’ before stepping off and i’m the most proud of holding the wheel with my right foot after stepping off. so didn’t even try at the park, it was extraordinary busy(probably need to go around noon) and came home and tried a little homemade jig to get more of a taste of it. not really counting this as a full on attempt at learning because i never donned safety gear. at least i moved the 9bot, hightops, safety gear to the truck, that was huge. need to clean up the rear so it can be the euc storage. maybe tmrw i’ll move the kingsongs out there.
