Hello everyone, as we all know the cost of fuel has been steadily rising.
Friends of mine that can be friends of yours are developing a very economical way of transportation.
If you are ready to invest in what will be the next successful mode of transportation, please send me a p.m. or just voice your desire to invest in this up and coming venture.
I in turn will forward your information to " The Skates R Us Company L. L. C. "
I think it will be the next Tesla, Google or something big and explosive as that.
Don't hesitate invest today !
I was thinking more like a jerry can and a siphon hose. Old school but very cost effective.
I'm in. Gotta adapt to the new economy and the new way of life we are so fortunate that recent events, trends and decisions have been bestowed upon us.
I have brushed up on my skate boarding skills again- ;D

Feel free to p.m. me for investment or franchise opportunities in your area.
Crack that whip and don't be left in the dust !

Thanks,I have many "vintage transportation "options....(even a 67 Shelby lol ;))
Don't be misled by that antiquated solution. Get onboard one of our solar electric scooters. Early adopters will also receive the auxiliary recharging cap as part of our new green deal.

Just watching "South Park" a very renowned instructional program and they had this very unique solution. Something about I just did not like, but I assure you many will follow

Thanks for posting, the clear boards are are kool 8) You can never have enough stuff ! my wife begs to differ ::)
I have this Hobie board, it's packed away, internet image here, that I got for Christmas around '65 ? has those clay wheels.
Kids in my area who board, are surprised when I tell them I first saw boards at my school (Ontario, Canada) around '64
I'm sure they started in California, any ideas of what year they appeared ?

. Yeah the plexiglass boards are cool,but they break(guess how I know).I believe clay wheels replaced steel mid 60s(I have examples of both)Urethane wheels debuted with Cadillac dk73s in 1973(I have those too)Precision bearings replaced loose bearings in 1975 with road riders(which I have many of)

Ladies and Gentlemen we did not post this in order to get hostile or emotional.
We are truly looking for alternative ways of transportation that may benefit us as possible investors!
Take a look at this idea, we would have to partner with the local town or municipalities as they have to provide "special roads" for us.
It's called Tobbagon Transportation, we would employ locals to assist us with this new system. The start up cost would be nominal and local wicker baskets will be had from existing vendors in town.
Why do we need wicker baskets?
Heck that's how we are going to transport our precious cargo, our customers !
We will zip them from here to there safely in comfortable wicker Tobbagons
Once again our vehicles will be made using local wicker basketwork and employing local ( two ) drivers or carreiros
Standing at the back of the wicker basket they use their feet to push, propel and maneuver the wicker vehicle to its destinations in no time
The maximum speed they can go is almost 24 mph
SAAC-KERS who's ready to invest with me in this wicked wicker transport !
Whoops I forgot to mention that our profits will triple when our customers decides to come home and the carreiros will have to push up hill....
Mo money, mo money, mo money !
One word:Flubber.......(Disney has always been ahead of the curve) ;)
Sorry, but climate change will soon wipe out those special roads...

Just spoke to Disney and they will not endorse or allow "Flubber" to be used as a form of transportation.
Believe you me I tried
Alright, alright, alright with fuels prices continuing to escalate I have another franchise opportunity , The Party Bike !
The vehicle serves more as a refreshment stand — the refreshment usually being alcohol — rolling through the city streets to take you to work or play.
The origins of the beer bike trace back to the Netherlands of 1997.
The human-powered multi-passenger cart became a popular leisure activity for tourists, and staff and bachelor parties.
But today it will alleviate your transportation fuels costs and also make you ECO friendly
Generally, the design resembles early 20th-century trolley carts with side benches for the pedalers.
Since its invention, the party bike has ventured out to a number of European countries and the United States.
So SAACkers who's ready to invest with me on this ECO friendly transportation, mobile serving adult beverage dispenser and mobile work out gym .
Three benefits in one location, can't beat that

Not sure about what to do about gas prices...
But when you close down a pipeline, fracking and drilling and then have a problem in Russia I'm guessing it should be expected...
Just my .02
Went on one of those party bikes a few years ago in Savannah GA. Great fun !

I realize that this thread is meant to be light-hearted but, in reality, the rise in fuel prices will not go away in the near future and, because of it, will severely affect the hobby we love, not to mention those who earn their livelihoods from it. While we may rationalize and pay the higher prices for fuel, there are those who can't afford to do so. Vacations will be curtailed, trips to visit family and friends will not be so frequent. Hotels, motels, restaurants and venues will suffer. Air fares will increase. Freight charges will rise and, because of that, any product that's delivered anywhere will increase. Any product containing petroleum will increase in price. Sadly, it didn't have to be this way and it doesn't have to stay this way. Perhaps, this will be the trigger to make people come to their senses...about a lot of things. As Forrest Gump so aptly put it..."That's all I've got to say about that".
[quote Any product containing petroleum will increase in price. ][/quote]
Most folks don't realize that almost everything we use today contains oil. A year or two ago someone posted a link to a video that showed everything made from petroleum disappearing and it was mind boggling. It may have been here but I don't remember.

20 years ago Al Gore predicted most of Florida would be under water in 12 years. Because of Global Warming. How's his prediction holding up?

Al Gore, that name sounds familiar. Is it the same Al Gore that has a home near Nashville :
Thats a 20-room mansion (not including 8 bathrooms) heated by natural gas. Add on a pool (and a pool house) and a separate guest house all heated by gas. In ONE MONTH ALONE this mansion consumes more energy than the average American household in an ENTIRE YEAR. The average bill for electricity and natural gas runs over $2,400.00 per month. In natural gas alone (which last time we checked was a fossil fuel), this property consumes more than 20 times the national average for an American home.
That guy?
You forgot to include his personal jet aircraft! Tipper saw through him when everyone else thought he was brilliant. In reality, he's an "empty suit" just like John Kerry.

Seems to be a lot of that going around ::) ???
Isn't he the guy that invented the internet? :-\ ::)

Has anyone attempted this and if you did you notice a m.p.g. increase?
