G'day Mate,
Welcome, thats a nice looking bike are those tires stock?

Danno · 06-15-2007, 07:23 AM

Thank you all for the warm welcome.

Yea theres allot off good places to ride down here, not allowed on any road at all until i get my license, been warned by the coppers to many times next time i get a $1000 fine. Not cool but what can ya do? No unfortunately those tires did not come stock, there just a basic off road knobby.

katoranger · 06-15-2007, 10:37 AM

Nice looking bike. Looks like mine without the rack. The knobbies are nice. Is it difficult to get a m/c license in Austrailia? I send alot parts there so I know alot of people ride.

Danno · 06-15-2007, 10:43 AM

I prosume by m/c u mean motorcross licence, no i hope not lol the guy i bought this off had a demo modle he had recreationally registered (not sure if u have this over there but its so u can ride i state forests and on non highway roads). My knobbies cost $58 for the front and $68 for the back. Got a few videos that im uploading now, ill put them in my next post.

katoranger · 06-15-2007, 10:51 AM

Yeah I meant drivers license. We have a similar bike registration in some states for only off-road use on public lands and sometimes you need to have both if you want to ride on the street. MOst of the china bikes also don't have USFS approved spark arresters so we cannot legally ride in the Federal forests.

I will be adding one or changing mufflers so that I can go.

The strictest state that does not allow most Chinese bikes to register is California. However, many of the bikes are "green sticker" which means that bike can be ridden on designated off-road areas only, but no license is required to ride off-road, just the sticker. There is also a "red sticker" for California which allows bikes relegated to such a sticker to only be ridden during certain periods of time off-road only.
