Hello from Paris...

Ontario that is.

Just found this site, and already found a ton of useful information. As a backyard mechanic i have been enjoying the challenge of getting my kids little 110CC Daymak grunt running.

Between myself and a good buddy of mine who is also a first class machinist, we have solved worn bushings, electrical gremlins, a sheared rear axle, and a few other things to boot. All without spending too much dough.

I am looking forward to reading the posts and learning a ton. I am sure that with my 3 kids, more china atvs are on the way.

Welcome! Most excellent avatar.

I remember the first time I drove through Ontario; I visited London and Paris in the same day.

Do Frenchies ride dirt bikes anyway or are they afraid of getting dirt on their moustaches? :P

Frenchies can't ride dirt bikes. The sand makes their "crawsaunts" gritty.

A Cliff Clayven moment for you: A little known fact about Paris Ontario, is the name had nothing to do with Paris France. Paris was settled around a big gypsum mine, and they made plaster (yup, plaster of paris) nearby.

Here's a picture for all you picture lovin guys.
