How about the other voices in your head....do they speak for all those folks too

I Agree totally...too many horror stories, minus Moto's of course, to be trusted just yet. When you dig a hole that damn deep it takes a long time to climb out and that's exactly what happened to Azhule. TXP worked overtime digging deeper.

TX

Got my two from TX no major problems with the first one so far. Only things was that there was a missing crush washer under the head of the banjo bolt on the front master brake hose fitting and leaked bad. Found a 10 pack of exact replacements for a Honda. TX sent me a new banjo bolt with the two washers also. I'm sure they're the same as a lot of mopeds also.
And the horn didn't work. Sent that back and waiting for that replacement.
Second bike is still in it's crate but that will have to wait a few more weeks.

Thumbs Up Magician 250 arrived!

Unpack and assembled. (About 90 minutes with a neighbor's help.)
Painted! (Sorry Magician folks... I wanted the Army drab green camo look; may use the cycle this Fall while hunting.)
Fueled the cycle... tried to start it... no spark... oh yeah, I need to lift the kick-stand which has a safety over-ride engine cut-off switch.
With kickstand up, the cycle started right up. Adjusted the idle thumb screw up a bit. Runs great!

TXpowersports... good experience so far!

The green camo paint looks good! I considered doing the same thing to my Hawk when it arrives, but with Monstalina for the same kind of look. Now the question is, Olive Drab or Desert Tan...

Taken it for it's maiden voyage yet?

Short maiden voyage, 5 or 6 miles. I gotta say, the teen boys in the neighborhood were looking pretty hard at the camo cycle as I drove by. The way they were craning their necks, you would have thought I was a bucksome young lass (NOT).
Will need to register the cycle before I venture afar.
Monstaliner good idea. Hopefully the camo will help protect some from the UV rays, said to deteriorate the china bike plastic quickly.

They are probably thinking about how to get their hands on it.

There was a bank robbery in the lower texas Rio Grande valley area and He made it up here about 150 miles north where he was apprehended. He had $300 on him. Good thing thieves are not too smart. (Now he will have 20 years to reflect on that bank job)

So I contacted Txpowersports because the knob on my Magician 250 speedometer trip reset was missing? (See pic)
I thought Tx would send a replacement knob?
But they sent a whole new speedometer pkg! (See pic)

Wow! Impressive.

Clark, be gentle with that Speedo install. The bolts can be overtightened and damage the odometer wheels (ask me how I know)
