I made the mistake of showing this to my wife and asked her to give it some consideration.  I will be dining on Hot Tongue and Cold Shoulder for the foreseeable future!!

Hi Scuba1,
Do you want a home made unit or a ready made unit?

  :proj:

There are several ready made units on the market, try google- garage door opener.
If you want to make one and require a rf transmitter (zapper), Rock Electronic web site had a 4 channel unit for sale. It would require 2 channels for the door the other 2 could put the light on or off. The relay unit would then operate the door mech. and the lights. (I have no interest in Rock Electronics).
If more info required then let me know.
For info only Rock Electronics are based in Scotland.  :nrocks:  :nrocks:  :nrocks:

 :lol:  This is getting sent to the boss man with a complaint about the German models we're fitting.... They don't operate canopy doors anywhere near as well as that!  :lol: 

Most humorous  :)

The only real question is what did it cost in baubles and bling to get her to go along with the video of doing it!  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :clap:

Well I gave it a try today. I went out for a ride on my Ultra for a couple hours and tried it when I got home :wack: now for the next few days soup is all I can eat without hurting.
Please keep further hints like this away from us married men :)

I'd say if she were blonde we'd have our answer, but since she's a brunett I would guess she had her hair dyed.  :bugeye:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Do you guys realise that's his daughter?

He says made possible with children, I've got two spares.... Maybe that could help some of you out? Probably easy to get kids to do stuff like that when they want the latest things purchased!?

It probably won't have gotten much expouser if he'd of used a male, but since he used a female, oh well.

I'm not politicaly correct, if you put it out there I'm going to comment on it. If you don't want to hear the truth about what others will think, then don't put it out there for the world to see and comment on.

Nuff' said

Lighten up, as Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, minority, which hold forth the proposition that it is possible to pick up a turd by the clean end

Eh?

Who's worried about political correctness?  :scratch:

I was just saying that you wouldn't have to be shunned by the wife as it's child labour being used  :)

Why have kids if you can't use them as forced labor?
