Posted October 3, 2017 I voted for pocket bikes for these reasons: If your talking about children, they are less likely to break their necks playing with a drone. If your talking about adults, well.......seeing an adult on a pocket bike is just like seeing an adult in a clown car. Best Excuses: #1(simple) "Well, I never liked that stupid thing anyway!" #2(complex) "Obviously there was a flaw in the material, probably due to the inadvertent introduction of contaminants during the manufacturing process."

You just don't know how to have fun. With unreasonably small things. Which is quiet shocking, all things considered. Sorry, but when someone making a racket while I am sleeping after a 12 hour shift. Someone has a high chance of being hurt for waking me up if the individual keeps making that much noisy. Thankfully, the person got the hint after our upper military supervision briefed that loud noise in the dorm area would wind up with the offender getting paperwork and doing dorm clean up for awhile. 2023 BOINC Pentathlon Event F@H & BOINC Installation on Linux Guide My CPU Army: 5800X, E5-2670V3, 1950X, 5960X J Batch, 10750H *lappy My GPU Army:3080Ti, 960 FTW @ 1551MHz, RTX 2070 Max-Q *lappy My Console Brigade: Gamecube, Wii, Wii U, Switch, PS2 Fatty, Xbox One S, Xbox One X My Tablet Squad: iPad Air 5th Gen, Samsung Tab S, Nexus 7 (1st gen) 3D Printer Unit: Prusa MK3S, Prusa Mini, EPAX E10 VR Headset: Quest 2 Hardware lost to Kevdog's Law of Folding OG Titan, 5960X, ThermalTake BlackWidow 850 Watt PSU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 4, 2017 Pocket bikes hands down, Also to the guys who say no use for a drone outside of film making, Do yourselves a favor and go look at Drone racing, one of the fastest growing sports and something I massively enjoy. Also most cheap drones own'd by kids break after the first crash and thats that. To the guys saying drones can be used for spying on people.. your kidding right ? have you heard how loud those things are, you are not spying on anyone without there knowledge. and I've yet to see a drone with a good enough zoom to make that viable, hell if a person has got that much dedication to spying on someone they would be doing it with or without a drone.
