Been gone a while
How's everyone been doing? I've been chasing pipeline the past few months and just got back. I don't have any of the china 4whlrs anymore so I might not be welcome here now but thought I would just stop in and say hi. Jim

Welcome back!
I think that a few folks around here don't own China bikes or quads. It's just fun to hang around Frostbite's shop.

hey weldangrind. I always told my wife I'd never work in the oil field again but a friend of mine needed some help and couldn't turn him down. Sold all of what I had left and bought used name brands. Still have my grandsons little one tho.

Hi Doc. No, I don't even like climbing ladders much less flying. A friend of mine is head honcho on several different lines and had a couple of guys drag up on him. I was just helping him out. I got the easy stuff welding fittings, L's, 45's and such. Even got to work in a air conditioned shop part of it, but I won't do any of it anymore unless it's just an absolute must. I got out of the oil field back in the 80s after nearly getting killed several times. Besides, I just don't get along with most of the hands that I've encountered. And from what I can see, things haven't changed much over the years, just the faces. I'm not saying anything is wrong with them. It's really just a difference in opinion of work and family.

Several probably, but not sure I'd buy another one right now? The only one left here is my grandson's 110. I had a guy stop by my shop and wanted my hensim 400. Offered pretty close to what I gave for it so i sold it. Another came by and bought the 250D for, again close to what i gave for it and it was out the door. After that I rode my wifes yamaha for a bit when I could. I guess riding it caused me to see things a little different. The hensim and the 250D never cause a bit of problems other than what I mentioned to you guys in my review. The little 110 on the other hand has been a nightmare and my grandson won't hardly look at it anymore. As a matter of fact he hasn't asked to ride for over a month. I was in and out of here pretty regular and it seemed everytime I was here, I spent several hours fixing it for every thirty minutes the boy got to ride. There was a point I considered setting it on fire and having a party. I only hope that it didn't ruin his joy of riding. I've been keeping an eye out for a different one for him and maybe he'll start showing interest again. I'll get some pics up sometime today of the change of colors around here.
