Greets to all...
Alright, I'll break the ice. I'm a middle aged single Dad of two. Have been
for almost eleven years, my wife passed away in Dec. 95. I always wanted a dirt bike when I was younger. My Dad gave me the cycle bug when I was real young. He had a Harley and a few dirt bikes him and a friend built. I was lucky enough to have one of those homemade looking minibikes. It was fun for a while. When I got older I ended up owning a few street bikes. I still own a Buell to this day. I shopped around the web for quite a while before deciding to purchase My GY and my kids 125's. I bought all three from the same person on ebay. All arrived in pretty good shape, with all three mising the shifters and a hole in the GY's seat cover. The seller was more than happy to send me a new seat and three shifters. I got all three bikes for $2270.00 to my door. Trust me if I could have afforded name brand bike I probably would have, but that just wasn't the case. So for the price of one I got three. I couldn't be happier. My kids are pretty happy as well. I finally got my son out last night and taught him how to use a manual clutch. He did real well. Stalled it a few times, lifted the front wheel a couple but after about ten minutes was starting and stopping real well. A couple of vids of him if ya care to see. http://www.eazys.net/GY200/D1stride.mpg 10.87 MB http://www.eazys.net/GY200/Dylan.mpg 7.14 MB I was very proud. Now I got to get my daughter to give hers a try. Maybe tomarrow. I enjoy my GY alot as well. Having it titled and plated here in N.E. Ohio is a added bonus. I have rode both on the streets and some trails that I found locally. This bike does just fine for both situations. I no intentions of really off roading this bike. I have a profile with pics and mods that I have made to all three bikes over on ThumperTalk if you care to check it out. http://www.thumpertalk.com/forum/member.php?u=81659 It's a pleasure to meet everyone. Plan to stick around and learn and share as much as I can. Thanks to the creator of this board.
