I believe this is the weekend alltoys leaves for sweden to pick up his award. In his work with a cousin that has lost a leg to cancer, alltoys has invented a hip joint that has drawn lots of interest in europe. Alltoys has spent a lot of time with kids with cancer and this hip joint is part of the interest he has shown to help them .He maybe famous now, if someone from one of the firms that make joints picks up on this idea it could be worth something. Some people just go that extra mile to see what is possible.

 

He is being honered for the prostetic leg he made for his young cousin! I believe he is still working on the hip joint part that will last 10 years or better before having to be replaced. This guy is simply amazing,, works with young cancer kids, makes limbs, and still has the time to make a quad rip!!!
Alltoys,,, my hats off to you,, you are truely a great guy!

 

Howdy Alltoys,
Congratulations on your achievements!! You certainly deserve every last accolade that is coming your way.

 

Damn!!! This guy is a jack of all trades. Your a great guy alltoys, an inspiration to many of us.

 

I have to thank all you fellows for your help and support ATV'ing is a great way to get kids and family involved with a great plus the outdoors. I just made it back from across the ocean my wife Diane and I had a great time. The people are fantastic there we hope to go back there again in a couple of years if things work out that way. I can honestly say the R & D department for prosthetics is second to no one over there the facility takes up 20 hectares of very valuable land all developed for the betterment of people with the loss of a limb. I was in awe to put it mildly they have taken my little innovation and expanded on it ten fold they asked me to help them to change a few things so the socket can be more friendly for CNC machining. I must add they have CNC lathes that are specially made for prosthetic machining the intricacies are phenomenal. The unit I made on CNC machine here where I work took almost 40 minutes to make. Their machine was a total of 8 minutes soon as the improvements are locked in it will cut another 3 minutes off machine time truly interesting. Wifey was bored but I spent 2 days there even got a chance to play with one of the CNC mills ooooooh gives me goose bumples just thinking about it LOL. I was going to try to make some stuff for my quad but they just laughed at me then asked what was a quad, ( they don't get out much)!!!!!!!

Something else while I was there I was invited to a secret Ducati race team facility. I have been involved with the Ducati team for the past year trying to find a cdi or ignition that would work on our Kawi and the Ducati is identical in firing at 90*. They were very helpful with a system that is very similar to the one they have on their race bike I have it in my possession it is specially designed for my quad and it is programmable. If a person could buy it, it would be around 3000 US and it is windows compatible which will work for my lap top. The great thing I can use it for a single cylinder, 2 cylinder no matter what the degree of firing order so it can be installed on a variety of machines. I can't wait to get it on my quad !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been very fortunate to meet, talk with many of you on the forum ATV'ing is a great vehicle to transport us to the outdoors where we all can in awe of our surroundings.

 

Glad to hear things went well overseas. Sounds like you had fun!! You mean to tell me those retards didn't know what a quad was??????? Did they all wear glasses and have pocket protectors????? That would explain a lot.

 

Alltoys,

Your are one heck of a nice guy, plus have the smarts to go with it. There needs to be alot more people like you in this world. Keep up the great work!
