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 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! 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.
