Just dropping in to say hi.

Jet_Tech · 05-20-2007, 11:31 AM

Hello everyone, its been some time since I was last on here. I just wanted to say hi to all the old readers and also to all the new faces joining CR. I hope everyones bikes are doing well, I now have over 6700 miles on my GY5 and not a single mechanical problem, I replaced my old chain recently with a tsubaki 420H and couldnt be happier with it. The only minor encounters I had so far was a cracked headlight mount and tail light due to vibration which was quickly fixed with epoxy, other than that runs like a top. So I hope the rest of you crazy red star riders out there are having the same luck with your bikes as I am. Take care and ride safe.

It should be noted that Jet Tech rides an American Lifan vs. one of the grey market ones. I know, I know, there will be exceptions, but just wanted to point it out.

If you search out his posts, he rode his bike from Louisiana to Florida over two days; something like 1400 miles if I am not mistaken. Good to hear from you, Jet, and everything is going well.

Welcome back Jet,
Glad to hear all is well...Still wishing I had a machine shop like yours...
1700mi. on my grey market T-motorsports GY-5 and no problems yet, I maintain it though...

Up to 7200 on mine, glad to see you're logging some good miles. Keep us posted. I would like to see 36k one day. Don't know of anyone yet with more than 15-20k and I think his was a 150cc from what I remember.

I plan to have 6000km or 3700 miles plus by Labor Day. Now are we comparing miles or kilometers here. I am going for the mileage award.

If I get 15,000 I will be happy.
