nah, It pissed it down all day. Fecking weather its really getting on my tits now

interesting, I though the thermal efficiency was more like 40%. CHP (combined heat and power) generators are about 90% efficient.

those small wheels don't make for great handling IMHO. you can mess with weights and stuff( did it on a friends scoot) but you need to read up a lot and know what your doing or it creates more problems than the one that wasn't there in the first place.
