From november to march its pretty much a no go here unless you stud the tires(illegal) and run in the snow/ice.
March/april/may were pretty nasty here this year (cold/snow/rain) I havnt seen as many of the fly by night china dealers around but there are a couple of the more permanent dealers around. Maybe I have just been lucky finding the better dealers around here lately. Still I havnt seen to many china bike riders. |

I don't see nearly the amount of the fly by nighters either as a few years ago.
December, Jan, Feb can be could here, but we don't usually get much snow or ice. Allen

I know in my town the only other ds china rider in my neck of the woods is savage and he works for my local dealer. other than that the only chinese here is scooters.
by the way, has anyone here noticed that harley riders don't wave when you wave at them? any other bike that you see will wave unless there clutch is engaged. the harley riders must have their hands full 8O

Takes both hands to keep the bike on the road.
I get a few waves from harleys, but they tend to not wave at anyone not on a harley. You are required to sign a form to own a harley saying you will not wave to anyone else. Allen

I got snubbed by a scooter rider the other day. I don't he understands the two wheeler code. And Harley riders? Screw them. Most of them are dentists and lawyers nowadays anyway.
I still wave to everyone. It's how most of us Texans were brought up. The Utahans don't wave much, but I'm changing that the best I can. |

I get more waves wearing the leather jacket than the yellow jersey(when it's too hot). Even so, very few don't wave back.
Even guys on farm tractors wave Maybe its the grey beard?? :roll:

I wave at everyone. I agree many HD riders just ignore you, but if they do I follow up the wave with a middle finger salute. That usually gets a reaction out of them. And to answer the obvious question, yes, I have a plan if one of them turns around and chases me on my 16 hp moped-wannabee 8O

I never cared much if anyone waved back, But I did get a wave from an Ol Harley rider. On subejct I think it would be good if people could become more informed on China bikes so they don't get ripped off or have terrible time with it...And the more they sell the better they will get..I hope The more the merrier
