Quitting Smoking isn't Easy in Detroit

Hi Everyone,

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. I've been busy living life and doing things that I should. Recently 12-30-2011 I checked into Henry Ford Wyandotte Hospital (south from Detroit) suffering from flu like symptoms.

I parked my truck out by the emergency room and had to walk approx. 100 yards to the front door of the emergency room to check in after going to my doctors 20 minutes prior to that to see what the doc wanted me to do. He said "Just go to the emergency room and I'll call and tell them your coming" When I got there, here come the I.V's breathing treatments, coughing up mucus, sweating, stomach and muscle pain from coughing. I was a mess for the first 72 hours. Then the symptoms started easing w/ all the medications they were giving me like I.V. steroids and antibiotics, plus breathing treatments and oxygen w/ warm mist. Now I'll have to tell you that if this ever happens to you, tell the doc that you want the machine that delivers oxygen and warn mist. That really helped a lot.

I will stop in every so often on this blog to let you know about my success or failure of quitting smoking. I hope I won't be blogging about failure because as of right now I feel great but am struggling about not thinking of a cig. Hell I did it subconsciously for 32 years. This is going to be a challenge.

Many, Many Thanks to the nurses and doctors of Henry Ford Hospital Wyandotte for helping me in my time of need. You all are a very special crew. From the ER docs and nurses to the 6th floor nurses. Thanks Again.

C.O.P.D. or chronic obstructive pulmonary (PULL-mun-ary) disease, is a progressive disease that makes it hard to breathe. "Progressive" means the disease gets worse over time.COPD can cause coughing that produces large amounts of mucus (a slimy substance), wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and other symptoms.

Heroes Don't Wear Capes They Wear Dog Tags

I seen this phrase on a t-shirt I seen while surfing the net. I thought it would make a great decal for someone with a loved one in the military or a retired veteran. It would look great on any tinted window or any clean flat dark surface. It measures 6.5" tall x 8" wide and is made from long lasting white vinyl.

You can purchase this Heroes Don't Wear Capes They Wear Dog Tags Decal in my bonanza store.

Thanks for looking.

My 48 CC Motorized Mountain Bike by the Detroit River

Here's my Motorized mountain bike sitting by the Detroit river in Wyandotte, MI at Bishop Park. What a great night for riding last night. Sun was shinning, no wind, got to see about 25 kyakers going down the river in different color kyaks while I was eating my ice cream. :O)

I had eight people stop and ask me questions about my bike. Like where do I get the motor kits, how much do the cost, do the police pull you over, how fast does it go, what kind of gas mileage do I get, do you need a special licence to operate it, do you need a helmet? I kindly answered all their questions.

Over all it was a fantastic night to ride. Even got a few beeps!...LOL

Assembled Motorized Beach Cruiser Bicycle w/ 48CC Motor

Assembled Motorized Beach Cruiser Bicycle w/ 48CC Motor

This is my newest build. A Huffy 26" mens beach cruiser bicycle named "Big Daddy" It is flat black and red. I bought this bike at a local Meijer's store with the intention of building a great looking bike that would be fun to ride. This motorized bike can be driven as a bicycle too. Simply disengage the clutch and you'll enjoy the simplicity of a bicycle.

The great thing about these kind of bikes is it's diversity. It can be road as a bicycle on a nice summer night or as a motor bike running errands, to the post office, to your local store, or a long ride to a friends house. Where ever you ride this bike will be a fun experience.

State of Michigan laws states a motorized bike with a motor 48CC or lower is considered a bicycle and rider should comply with bicycle laws. Thats whats so great about these bikes and also it travels 150 MPG and goes 35 MPH. Hows that for beating the system....LOL

This bike is available for sale. It will be a local pick up only. Location: South of Detroit, MI (Downriver) You can contact me at Kingmoose599@yahoo.com

Price $450.00 sorry, No Test Rides!

Great thing about this WIFI sticker is that it says INQUIRE WITHIN making potential customers think they should purchase something to get the password.

Motorized Bicycles by Roger's Stuff

Building motorized bikes started out as a hobby and a thrill to ride. However, it is growing in popularity and I'm getting a lot of inquiries. about them. Since the first one I built in May of 2010 I have built and sold 5 of these kind of bicycles.

This particular bicycle shown was the fist one I made. When I planned this bike I didn't want to make it like the usual beach cruiser type with the wide handle bars and huge white wall tires. Nope I wanted it to be different so I looked for a mountain bike that would except the motor and accessories needed to run the bike and this is what I came up with. It was a hit the first ten minutes I was riding it. As I was driving down the street a guy drove up and rolled down his passenger window and yelled "He man, do you know how fast you are going"? I said "Whats that"? He said "35"!!! We both laughed.

Yes, it's true. These bike really go 35 mph and will travel 150 mpg. <=== Thats One Hundred and Fifty Miles Per Gallon of Gasoline. Just think of all the money you can save running to the store, mailing letters or running other errands. Simply add a wire basket to carry items in, like I did. Be sure to lock it up though because they do attract a lot of attention.

Another great fetcher about these bikes is that you can pull the clutch grip located on the handle bar and ride it as a bicycle too. I usually will do this when I'm at a car show or festival during the summer. Oh' and also, in Michigan you don't need a licence to operate this kind of bike as long as you ride it as a bike and follow your state or local bike laws. I just ride with traffic on the side of the road and stop at stop signs and traffic lights and the cops never say anything. Last summer I had four cops in neighboring cities pull me over and chat about the bike.

If you would like to ask me anything about these kind of motorized bike don't hesitate to ask. Simply drop me a line at kingmoose599@yahoo.com and title it "Roger's Motor Bike" and I will get back to you that day.

"Happy Riding"
