My dad never got me into bikes...I just took it up during university and now I can honestly say that anything with a motor and two wheels is a blast for me. Even my kids' Z50 brings me smiles. I've had a couple of Honda dualsports, a big Kawasaki thumper (KLR650), and a couple of street bikes.

I've dabbled with cars (I founded a sports car club in my city) but I always feel like the dirt bikes offered me more fun. Plus I always seemed to have a more mechanical knack with bikes. So when the chance came to grab a couple of 150cc bikes for my wife and I and not break the bank I took it.

My plans are to put the bikes together and go for a boot this weekend. I'm hoping to document my experience with these bikes, probably on a Flickr blog. I also have a Garmin GPS receiver so I'm eventually going to strap this to my bike and keep track of the sites we visit.

It's great that this site popped up. Feel like I'm on the ground floor with these things. There are a LOT of people around here that are interested in how well these bikes hold up. So we shall see...

Cheers,
