I bought a 2.2kva honda generator for 60 quid off a car boot, handily its powered by a 126cc honda engine

so i have removed the little exhaust box that was supplies and have concocted an exhaust from bits found at my local bike breakers

I plug my laptop into it to watch DVD's on-for the kids-and to charge up my mobile phone, and rechargeable batterys. You can even get a 2000 watt one now, but that just might be taking it a bit too far......

Running invertors from a cig socket is exremely dangerous and should NOT be recommended...... cig sockets are not good to run anything larger than a mobile phone charger off, be very very carefull.

yep, connected with croc clips iirc.......

inverters should NEVEr be left unattended... unlike children, who should be left at the nearest van they dont belong to...
