Eddy from Arizona (formerly Chicago)

[eddyfx]

Hi , my name is Eddy and I came to Arizona from the Chicago a few years ago.
Still trying to get used to the summers here.
I am 45 years old, a mechanic by choice and driver by trade.

This my current entry into Chinese bikes ........

-Roketa RKM 200 E-


but i don't think it will be my only one........these things are addicting.
So cheap it's almost like buying a bicycle from Walmart, you can have lotsa of fun with them without hurting your pocketbook.
Should they get stolen or destroyed .....good excuse to buy another one

This is the reason I bought a Roketa in the 1st place , my 1st bike

I rescued this a few weeks before buying my Roketa, inital idea was to buy a bike exactly like the one I started out with 20 years ago, my 1981 Yamaha XT 250.

Bought for a little under $1000, mechanically sound, but not running, carb needed to be rebuilt.

Once that was taking care of, oh the fun I had...... so I decided to buy a new one, until I went to the motorcycle dealer that is...........Holy Hydraulics 8O 8O 8O talk about sticker shock !!!
A slightly smaller bike , a 230cc i think it was,...... was almost $5000 dollars

Then I saw these bikes at pep boys and I thought " if they only made street legal.....did some reasreach on the internet and voila.

Can't beat it, front and rear disc brakes, electric start, great looking frame, rugged and good looks for 1/4 price of the current japanese bikes.... gotta love it
