Lipo vest

Someone suggested this. I didn't like it. A backpack is much more comfortable.

Hope that vest is somewhat fire proof, resistant. Either that or you will have one fun time getting that pack off when the worst case scenario happens :lol:

As long as the vest is bullet-proof, I don't see the problem.

i bet you never have to stand in line wearing it. just keep muttering "allah akhbar" under your breath. the line will just melt away.

if you get one of those replica AK47's with the big clip and hang it over your shoulder with bandolier, you will have the entire lane to yourself. no SUVs will cut you off or pull out in front of you.

for the flag on your bike get the muslim crescent flag and have a bumper sticker like woodie guthrie did for his guitar, "this bike kills christians", get the lane all to yourself.

HHAHAHAHAHA!


Raw, unprotected lipo cells....or any cells, not special designed, should not be that close to your body IMO. I Fn love it though :)

Yeah, even if you rigged up some kinda quick release for a flame up, it's going to still be difficult to impliment with your face inside a lipo fire. *shudder* in fact, i think someone should get a "dodgy brick" into this mannikins vest and puncture it, post it on youtube..... Awesome

Too funny.

It was me;

Say, that's an idea, this winter I'm going to make a Lipo vest and put the controllers in pockets that cover my nipples"

The idea was to stay warm.
That looks about right :lol:

LOL hilarious photo, that model definitely suits the vest thats for sure.

Seeing Lipos when they are "nuclear" is never a good thing, if anything aim them down but then the groin gets it. Suppose you could tell the ladies you wear hot pants hahaha.

Would also be a quick way to remove body hair (and skin lol)

Turn it around as a fanny pack so then when it lights up you'll pedal even faster than the motor moved you.

You should add an alarm clock to monitor usage time of your Lipo.
Sounding Tic-Tac would also add to the charm. :mrgreen:
