They aren't warranted against water damage. So I'd end up killing it my first time riding. Guess I'll have to stick w/ the old school way of lighting my flag.

Title: Re: Wired Whips Post by: backinsaddle on September 07, 2005, 10:44:21 PM i almost ordered a couple til i got to the $69.99 part. that's why i haven't ordered yet Title: Re: Wired Whips Post by: yunt2ride on September 08, 2005, 12:49:22 AM The problem is on the atv model. it takes 2 double A batteries and the battery life is about 14 hours so you would need to get the buggy model so you could wire it to your battery and that one is $89.99. Do a search on ebay for neon wires and you can buy wires and glue it or wire tie it to a bike antenna and it will probably do the same thing. Heck, you could probably even feed it through a clear tube with the bike antenna and that would work even better.

Anyone have any ideas? Title: Re: Wired Whips Post by: Ida_Mann on September 08, 2005, 06:59:13 AM 14 hours off of 2 AA batteries?
I don't think that's gonna put out a lot of light. Id@ Title: Re: Wired Whips Post by: klutchbuster400 on September 08, 2005, 07:02:37 AM grab some christmas lights and wire it to your batteries somehow :D
Title: Re: Wired Whips Post by: Ida_Mann on September 08, 2005, 07:05:24 AM now I have an idea for the next group ride if it's near December.

Title: Re: Wired Whips Post by: BCConviber on September 08, 2005, 04:41:41 PM Do like my wife does... She zip ties those triple strand christmas lights around the racks, and then plugs them into a small inverter in the 12v outlet.... You can miss her with those things on. Rode 'em out at mud, sweat & gears and the water didn't bother them...
Title: Re: Wired Whips Post by: 1970Mustang on September 08, 2005, 08:07:23 PM I bought some of thin neon lights at Discount and taped them to to my flag pole. I then wired to to my battery through a switch. They worked great and could be seen a long way off. I had a blue one on my bike and a green one my wifes bike for the Rabbit Run, that way we could see where each other was at. I had mine broke by the end of the night because the pole didn't flex enough going under low trees.
