The newbies just must not have anything to say or they don't check the Chit Chat forum...

Use to be a mechanic,30 years worth. I've bulit most every thing you can think of. Bikes, cars, motor homes, snowcats, snowmobiles. Prety much, if it's terran based, I'm into/have been into it.
As my Siginature shows, I'm a speed junky, so the little 250GS is a step down. I'll be doing afew things to it just to see what I can.
It's nice to find a forum for these. I belong to and contribute to many differant boards. Hope I can be a bennifit here too.

Well aggieboi, I've got to get my bike back before I can really plan on any rallying...
I'm going to call and harass the guy tomorrow and see if he can't speed up this process any.

Well hello to you to Namikuz! I'm sure you're going to be an awesome contributor, I've read all that you've posted thus far and you seem to know a great deal about the mechanical aspects of machines in general... Glad to have you here and look forward to seeing what you've got to say.
Hello to you Myth. It's nice to see an ACTIVE board for the 'lil 250GS. I've been to a few other Chineese bike boards and well.........YAWN!!!!! No activity for REAL bikes. Mostly scooters. (thats what my wife rides.)
I'm looking forward to getting my "Pak Mule" back. They have had now for 4 weeks. I bought it 08/31/08, picked up a week later and I've logged 1200+ miles in the really short time I had it in my possetion.
I'm going to have the license plate read "PakMule". I load it up pretty well sometimes. Light weight stuff, but piled higt.
Well I'll keep the forum updated on modds that work and well OOPPSSS!!!!!!!!!!!! DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME stuff.
Nice to meet 'cha Myth. (Try spelling Namikuz backwards, I'm know as that elsewhere too, and a short story behind it.)
Post by: Myth on November 04, 2008, 07:35:45 AM
As far as board activity, we try... :lol:

Well I called the guy about my bike, he's kind of a mechanic... It's going to be another week or two... Bastards!
that sucks about your bike myth,what are they doing to it or "have they told you". i know half the mechanics i take my car to dont bother to say anything to you before they do it,and now it doesnt run . thank god my dad left me his truck .hey quick question for you guys ,you ever teach your freinds girlfreind to ride on your bike and she forget there was a clutch and shift without it? well i did and so did she! now the back tire of the bike makes a dragging sounds,i cant quite distinguish if its coming from the rear wheel or the trannsmission! So myth your really thinking about riding on the ice????? i dont think im ready for that yet,and i think it might be kind of helpful to have my license just in case,so hopefully by the time january gets here ill get off my butt and go take that class ,i hope!
Post by: Myth on November 05, 2008, 08:55:40 AM
And I am stupid enough to be serious about the ice... :lol: I could hear the Captain now... WTF WERE YOU THINKING SOLDIER!!!! I'M GOING TO PT THE SHYT OUTTA YOU AS SOON AS YOU GET OUTTA THE HOSPITAL!!! YOU'LL WISH YOU DIED IN THAT WRECK MAGGOT!!!
SO YOU GOT A BROKEN ARM?! WHY DON'T YOU DROP AND GIVE ME 50 ON YOUR BAD ARM!!!

I could hear the Captain now... WTF WERE YOU THINKING SOLDIER!!!! I'M GOING TO PT THE SHYT OUTTA YOU AS SOON AS YOU GET OUTTA THE HOSPITAL!!! YOU'LL WISH YOU DIED IN THAT WRECK MAGGOT!!!Funny....Sounds like my Sons Capt' too. (Marines) He(my son) is a crew Chief of some enormous hellicopter. His Capt' is 5'7" and 160#, My son 6'5" 215#. 32" waist, 48" chest. So he's in a bit of trouble at the moment. A scuffle broke out on the flight deck AND SOMEBODY knocked out the LT and Capt, Capt on accident and the Capt' relizes that too. Nobodys addmitting or telling, 'cept the LT. He's a wussy maggott, Can't start somethine and THEN cry rank....Sheezzzzz. Well my son is being charged with it and ofcourse, brought up on charges and possible Courtmarshall. Hope not, BUT it all comes down to the Capt'.
They sent my son to a shrink,and they are saying that he has NO empathy for his fellow human. Hmm, Well we'll see.
Ya just don't put your hands on someone that's been studing Choy Li Fut for most of his life (and then what the Marines teach you), Ya just DON'T!!!!
The LT is a little bigger than the Capt', and has Small dog syndrome. Story goes...LT grabbed my son and spun him around and well......Sorry Sir, let me help you to the ground......I mean up.....he he. I've met the Capt and LT a couple of times. Capt' all right.
Babble, babble babble..... Any who....Hope you get the 250 back soon. And as for the riding in the ICE. NOOOOOOOOO. Not on the street with studded tires. Steel studs and asphalt and/or cement DO NOT make for lean angles that are survivable. 9 years in Detroit and trying it a few times...All I can say is OOUUCCHH!!!! That smarts!!!!!!! he he, But if you must, GET VIDEO!!!!! YES VIDEO!!!!!!!!! (it's well worth the noteriaty<sp> you'll recieve)
Later.

I should eventually be a crew chief on an enormous helicopter... The CH-47 Chinook is what I'm going to be working on. Marines not having empathy for their fellow humans... Well there's a shocker! Marines are trained to tear a person limb from limb, they're the toughest SOB's not in special forces. At least in my opinion... From what I've heard about their training, they kind of try to desensitize you. A friend of my wife/ex says he was trained so that when he kicked in a door and went in a house and blasted the bad guy, take the very hot end of the barrel and put it in the bad guys eye... If he moves shoot again... No empathy.... Yeah, but swinging at someone with more rank... not good... Best wishes for your boy though, I hope the Capt' is sympathetic.

I grew up in a small town, less than 1000 people and had three city cops plus all the county and state boys that rolled through. The town is a speed trap. There are two roads that run through it and it only has one red light. If you head to the next town up the road, they have less people and probably around the same number of cops. These cops will stop for anything and they always wanna search the car. Doesn't matter who you are, there's too much drug traffic in that little town. Don't get me wrong, I like cops as long as they're not raging peckerheads. And I also understand that they are that way cause they put up with some of the shytiest people known to man. That's enough to make anyone an a-hole.One thing to remember when dealing with cops, they can always be the bigger a$$hole...

thats true,ive met a few of them in my day! there was one that pulled me over one day for running a stop sign ,but i knew i stopped cause my car rolled backwards and i pulled out stupid slow,becuase my car always scrapped the oil pan pulling out of thats street,and when he handed me the ticket he goes are you having a nice day? i looked at him with that death ray look over the top of my glasses i think he got the point ! but killeen has a population of somthin like 160,000 people and quite a few police officers,just all the ones they have now are rookies,it was like when my dad retired all the ople thatd been there for like 20 30 and 35 years left as well! im not sure thought killeen sucks,im still waiting to see the other zongshen they had next to mine riding around,and i swear the more miles i put on my bike the better it sounds and the better it runs,the gas milage varies from ride to ride but it drives great and way lol.except i made the mistake the other day of trying to ride with a pack of CBR'S and ninjas gsxr's, wow i didnt think a 250 and a 1100 were that far apart, lol big joke ! i mean it was like they twisted that throttle all the way and i came to a stop !!!!!!! but you guys are right the zong does seem to ride better with quick shifts,and at a lower rpm to me ,like out of first shift around 5 or 6 and the same all the way up the power seems to stay constant all the way to about 75,and then of course top end is 85 for now.the first time i tryed to top it out it stopped at like 78 or 79 so its getting better!

Names Dusty, just bought a Zongshen, if you couldn't tell, pretty much how I stumbled upon this forums. Live around Plano, Tx do alot of commuting up towards Oklahoma so the bike has been pretty handy so far cept for the lack of a working speedometer. Um, like to ride horses ... and cycles now. 8)
Hope this fits the bill for checking in. Better late then never eh?
