Also love my Kevlar mesh jacket. Took a dive last summer and ruined the same jacket, but I lost no skin at all. I bought another one immediately....
I hardly ever wore a helmet until I was about 25 (and met my future ex-wife). I too am lucky to be alive. I did actually break a helmet on a curb...
I spent a few years working in an Emergency Room, so I have a preference for full face helmets. I personally bought a HJC full face helmet called...
One thing that keeps coming up: The Japanese spend their time to find the way to make something work. The Chinese spend their time to find a way...
Hell, I was used to Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki. I should have been thinking Model T. Took it on a night ride for 30 minutes on a fast road with no...
Once I quit treating it like a precision machine, we started to get along. It ran like a bat out of hell today and didn't get tight when it warmed...
2008 was a dark year for Chinese scoots for some reason. I bought a 2008 150cc TANK, go figure. it is running better once I started tuning it like...
I generally find a way to mention my ex-wife was a cop. That helps sometimes. Cops in the U.S. divide people into 3 categories. Cops, scum...
Long runs on bigger bikes are common here. I covered the entire West Coast of the U.S. from Mexico to Canada on a Norton 850 in my 20s. One of the...
Everything you said about China scoots is correct. They cheap pieces of crap, that almost work. The things could never be depended on for any kind...
Oh hell, pretty much everything is going to change in my life but the scoot. Turns out no one is dumb enough to buy it for what I think it is...
Reality is my 150cc China scoot is more useful on a daily basis. These are vanity bikes, and sweet. Me, I carry groceries, beer, car parts,...
I do like their style, and the fact they are trying to produce quality machines. Would I spend the extra money, no. I do like the 250cc though.
Wow! These guys know what they are doing. Certs in all 50 states including CA CARB. 250cc is just the right size, and the thing looks great except...
I would have been good with adjusting the valves with the head of a nail as a feeler gauge. The freaking thing tightens up when it get warm and it...
Now I move on to simpler things like the freaking GY6 150cc that will not stay in tune.
I have dumped some collections I hate to loose, but do not need. I did this kind of work for fun, and have just sold off several pre WWI USN...
It is not a hard thing to do once you realize the 125cc lg wheel Chinese frame would do fine, and they are almost free with a bad engine. It looks...
And this time my cabin will be pre-fab.
Sounds fun, but too much $$ for what I have planned now. I am in bail out mode, and will wait until things settle before I do anything but react....
