Where are the elders? Sam?Red?250?Ej?Princess? All riding?

We will learn to read stickys, do searches, and title our questions properly. Please don't get frustrated. It takes us time, and there are now a lot of new china riders because it's spring. I, for one, enjoy learning and I do respect you, who are using your time to teach me how to fix my bike. I hope you are all out riding and you don't have time to post. I promise to not start a new thread on oil or sprockets ever again! 8O

As I start putting real kilometers on my bike, I'm going to start having more involved problems. I need you guys, you've fixed all the problems I'm about to have. Please don't just go away.

I just want to say Thank-you. Thanks for all the information in this forum. Thank you Frostbite for keeping it all up and running.

My bike is running way better than stock, you're the reason. N2r.

I don't know about being an elder or not, but in a few months I'll be 44 years old. So, I guess maybe that makes me elderly!

When it comes to china bikes I'm sort of a noob. I have a lot to learn and I've learned a lot here. Hopefully, you're never too old to learning something new.

These bikes are very easy to work on and that makes them really fun for me. This forum has been great with helping me sort out a few things and making me jump into fixing a few issues that I don't want to have later. My bike still isn't finished yet but I hope to get the rear suspension basically finished up today.

What everyone needs to remember is that some people don't have the same experience level with motorcycles as others. With higher gas prices we'll probably see more and more new posters here. We need to be patient and not be quick to judge or comment negatively towards them. By just doing this we will keep people coming back for help and posting new solutions, instead of driving them away. Also, don't take everything posted seriously. It may not be ment to be negative or condescending. If you make a joke or are just trying to be funny, post a smilie.

They go a long way!

I was out riding all day yesterday but I was on my big trailie! Only put about 100 miles on it. Late lastnight, I worked a few hours on the Viva. It's coming together slowly but surely!

Present...When I have time as always. I get to PM's & the board asap during the busy season. It's still just my mechanic & myself and he has different plans now so soon it'll be just me.

TheOtherRide · 05-22-2007, 10:01 AM

Here! Just lurking. Haven't had much newsworthy to contribute (OK, guys I know what you're thinking...have I EVER had much! LOL).

So what's up?

fatboy250 · 05-22-2007, 10:09 AM

I guess I'm 250?

I'm here! Glad you're here. Hopefully everyone sees that we all try to help each other out here so that we can all go out and enjoy riding on our china bikes. I know I have been very pleased with ours after working out the bugs.

Are you calling Pauli old?!

***backs away slowly***

RPM · 05-22-2007, 01:14 PM

Don't actually consider myself an elder here, but I'm here. Actually been busy lately and haven't posted much, but that doesn't mean that I'm not visiting from time to time. If I see a post that I can help with or a question being thrown out to me, I will post ... count on it! A lot of newcomers on here now as this forum keeps growing!

Pauli ... old? Would not touch that one with a 10 ft. pole! Rather tangle with a gator! LOL

TheOtherRide · 05-22-2007, 02:20 PM

Let's just say I get pretty excited when I get carded these days...

Akonababe · 05-22-2007, 02:27 PM

We are still here in hawaii, reading and watching and putting are 2 cents in when we know something. And having lots of fun riding and touring the island. Got a motorcycle rodeo to go to saturday, should be interesting.

Boy, I wish I could get the seniors discount. :twisted:

ob1 · 05-22-2007, 04:43 PM

Dang, I'm not an elder <wanders aimlessly, muttering softly>

msRandi · 05-22-2007, 05:03 PM

I do get seniors discounts, It's not that cool.

IronFist · 05-22-2007, 06:09 PM

I'd never say old. How about, people who know what they're talking about.

Post Grads? :wink:
Got my bike running great. Did the mods, getting a new battery, got the 17 tooth sprocket, but the guys at the shop lost it and couldn't find it today.

At least I got the stock 15 tooth back so I could ride. I really like my bike. I know, what have I got to compare it to? Size power riding position and oh yes tinkering. More hours fixing than riding, Man I'm having fun! Thanks again Grads. All of you, RPM OB1 Akonababe msRandi included for sure. Without knowing what I might expect, the few problems I have had would have been frustrating. I can't stop smiling, I had fun today. Tinkered and rode
