This is my intro!

Hi all,

Hi Everyone. My name is Matt, I live in Hollister MO! I just picked up a "version" of the hawk 250 (Tao Motor brand).

Unlikely anyone here knows me as I'm pretty new to riding, but I frequent some other websites like the flashlight forums CPF/BLF. I also have a small youtube channel AdventureSportFlashlights.

Excited to be here and start modding my new bike!!!

Welcome aboard Matt.

Welcome to here! I look forward to hearing about your experience with the Tao as it is their first full-size enduro. Some sites list it as California legal, but I have heard it from the source that it is not California legal. All their other bikes seem to be, so maybe there is hope after all!

Welcome to the forum Matt! Post some pictures of your new bike!

Enjoy the Ride!

Welcome! We like pictures here, so feel free to post a few. These bikes are great to learn to ride on, and learn to wrench on as well. I definitely recommend following the same suggestions in my Hawk Info thread (link in sig) for your Tao. It can't hurt, and it is a great way to get familiar with your bike.

WOW!!! Thank you so much for the welcome guys!! Degadan, I have seen your thread, that is one of the first things i found here, and am following much of the advice offered here. I will be posting some pictures and possibly a few short video clips too!
