Thanks for the ride-along, Jeremy! That was a very interesting trail; I've never ridden anywhere like that. I didn't see any wildlife along the way; what animals would you expect to encounter?
it sounds like your rear suspension is squeaking and may need some attention soon.

snakes are to expect but at that time of the day, and roar of the bikes they'd been long gone. yess, the squeeking is really unbearable now... i've checked the bike-in for check-up/repair...hopefully before weekend it's done. and the BMW? yeah, just got it recently... after almost 6 years out of street riding and finally.. my first liter bike actually, and the first few kms is not so magical but it is ok. 'still have to learn back sports touring bike.... @SPUDRIDER - my pleasure sir! it's fun to share this kind....

Yup SPUD, i was able to get an aftermarket fender. Shaped it up with hot air gun as it doesn't fit below; and the front being black i placed red CF stickers.

What a great bike.
Imagine if: 1. They made a 250 2. It was the same liquid cooled motor 3. It was available in the US and Canada 4. It cost $2,500 or less 8)

That scenario would be great, Doc.
However, it appears Zongshen is now concentrating on manufacturing motorcycles with engines of 150cc displacement, and smaller. http://chinariders.net/modules.php?n...f88c53bdd7cf49 Spud

I even think a 200 of that quality would sell for $2,500 here but I don't know if Americans are ready for a 150 D/S.
Although I have my 175 out in the doctor's lot now as I type this... :wink:
